Chicken Shops near Linden, NJ

“The food was delicious and the atmosphere A+. This little spot in the heart of Linden is the place to go when you want some delicious and comforting food.“

“Clean and welcoming...I was greeted by the friendly manager at the door who also began searching up my order and packing it.

I was then graciously assisted by the personable and professional Shanyce G. as she knowledgeably answered my questions about menu items while I waited.

I also appreciate the assistance of the person who finished packing my order (this occurred at roughly 11:30 on 10/6/2025...I write this so they get credit but because I also don't like describing people by race and/or perceived gender).

Positive experience! Would come back!“

“Highly recommend! Food is delicious and portions are shareable depending on hunger level! Everything was nice and crispy! Ordered french fries, onion rings, and small orders of sweet and spicy wings (10), crispy chicken drumsticks (5) and hot and spicy boneless chicken (about 12 pieces or so). Will definitely be coming back!“

“I’m a New Jersey native of this area and now live in Michigan and when I come to vacation in New Jersey this is a must stop place if I could buy a franchise and bring it to Michigan I would the chicken is amazing the flavors on the chicken and the seasoning the way they fry it. It is one of the most amazing pieces of fried chicken that I’ve ever had, I truly recommend anyone to come and try the chicken from this place. I bought a I bought a box meal with a extra piece of chicken on the side and taste of the chicken was juicy was amazing.“

“The Philly cheese steak is delicious. Tried some fried chicken too…also very tasty. I will be eating here again.“

“Huge fan of chicken sandwiches, and Cayenne’s are flavorful and delicious. Literally the perfect sandwich for lunch or a late-night craving.“

“Stopped by Jollibee Newark and had such a pleasant experience! The staff were friendly and efficient, and the manager went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. You can really tell they care about their customers. The food was great as always — hot, tasty, and exactly what I was craving. Highly recommend this location!“

“Been coming here for a while now and the food has been amazing. The fried chicken is one of the best I’ve had in all of the east coast. They also just got BBQ Ribs and Oxtails. And they are heavenly, and full of flavors. Feels like im in a Jamaican/fried chicken cuisine. Best of both worlds.“

“We had the pleasure of dining at this Portuguese restaurant for the first time, and it was such a delightful experience! The food was incredibly flavorful and felt so authentic—every dish was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The portions were very generous, with each dish easily enough for two people to share. I particularly loved the tender meats and perfectly seasoned gravy. The lovely lady who served us made the experience even better with her warm service. As it was our first time trying Portuguese cuisine, we were thoroughly impressed. We’ll definitely be coming back for another visit!“

“when I call this spot, I don’t even gotta explain. They hear my voice and be like “Yup, that’s him…hit him with the usual, he ’bout to tear this cheesesteak up.” The dude up front chill as hell I think his name Muhammad or something like that but I call him ocky. Best cheesesteaks in linden and I been to all of them.“

“A nice twist on a classic fast food. Fried chicken meal with coleslaw and plantains was delicious. The drink options are delicious, tried the hibiscus & the mango tea flavors. Dinner was ready in just a few minutes. No coming and no cleanup! Would go back again.“

“Literally one of my favorite experiences from chick fil a went there March 3, 2024 and literally walked in and was greeted with a smile and the staff is so friendly! I was sick so I couldn’t talk much and the worker noticed and she gave me a card it’s literally one of the sweetest experiences I ever experienced 🥺❤️“

“Never disappoints! Fast, friendly service! Delicious fresh food, healthier options and reasonably priced It’s a great addition to the mall that I love!“

“Great hot wings, that's pretty much the only thing I ever get here, but I have had other things, and it was pretty good. All the employees are really friendly and extremely patient. Just to be perfectly honest, this place is located in a rather tough area, so keep that in mind when going here. Also there's no seating, it's strictly take out, the prices are very fair, and it offers a decent amount of other products similar to a small bodega. All in all, the wings keep me going back almost weekly for a number of years now and I've never had any problems with other customers. Enjoy!“

“Love this place. The food is so authentic and feels like it comes from home and it does. They hand make everything like the noodles. Peanut noodles are great here, dumplings, wontons, beef soup. Everything is just so good. Definitely come on in and check it out if you’re in the new door area. Service was excellent.“

“Highly recommend their pizza, burgers, wings, chicken, gyro platters, gyro sauce, sandwiches, beef patties, and everything they make does not disappoint. GOD BLESS THEM ALL With abundant bounty in this world and eternally.“

“Service was amazing! I was given a 15 minute wait time and my food was ready in exactly 15 minutes. I had the salmon sliders, wings with kkb sauce, yellow rice, broccoli and fried shrimp. For dessert, Caramel pecan cheesecake! My daughter and I enjoyed every bit of our meals! The restaurant is really cute with a bar type of vibe.“

“I celebrated my nomination this evening in this excellent restaurant. Well it was a enjoyable evening and the restaurant was unquestionably the reason for this successful meeting. The crew contributed in a gorgeous way, the cooking was very good and my buddies were very glad. We shall absolutely come back again for more joyful events. thanks very much.“

“Been going to Happy Paisa Chicken for decades. Though I’m a pescatarian, I’ve always been satisfied with delicious food. My mom and friends like the chicken meals; I enjoy tostones, salad, rice, yucca, beans (frijoles), green sauce, puffed cheese pastries, and more. Since the 2020’s began, however, there is only the Take-out option; no dine-in.
A word of caution: be careful to park legally on the street; I’ve gotten a couple of parking tickets there over the years.“

“This place is amazing! Delicious fresh food every time. Something Staten Island has been sorely missing!“

“Lutong bahay style, pagkain panlasang pinoy must try. Babalikan ninyo ang sarap 👍👍👍“

“I find the space cute and the food very YUMMY😊. Personally I buy the Ddeok-Booki (I hope I spelled it right) with a Strawberry Lemonade & it’s worth the wait🙏🏽. My comfort food occasionally after work.

Vegetarian options: I’m TRYING to be vegetarian (commitment) however my family eats meat. If you don’t eat fish or chicken or meat overall half of the menu is meat however they have fries and rice and cheese sticks + more if you’re interested in supporting the business as a vegetarian.“

“I need to say that Malka Khan is a diamond in the rough. Went into Crispy Chicken a few months ago. She was exceptionally kind and serviceable and went beyond in customer service. Second time in she was ever kinder, made me feel welcome and appreciated. Hence, why I’m taking the time to write this. She was generous, accommodating; more people should be this way. Oh, not to mention the food’s incredibly bangin’. Best place for chicken “tendies”, juicer and better flavor than you’ll get at an expensive restaurant. Kudos to Malka and her team. Visit; you’ll leave happy.“

“Wow there fried chicken wings are INCREDIBLE! This may be the best fried chicken wings I’ve had! Definitely one of them! They had a lot of meat on the wings, and the chicken was so moist! The wings were so crispy, and perfectly marinated! I loved the honey garlic sauce! The curly fries well seasoned and DELICIOUS! I highly recommend trying bb.q Chicken in Edison!“

“Always good at Chick-fil-A“

“I have been going here since it has opened,and the food is good prepared as you like it. The personnel are beautiful people with whom I have seen feed those who may not have the money to eat on several occasions which every community business person should have a heart to do. It is a community-based business which I would not change for anything or anyone!!!“

“This is one of the best chicken PLACES I ever been to and I've been in many, great chicken, very clean, employee's are awesome, and they handle your FOOD in a very sanitized way, one other thing they do it right in front of you, and there pizza is also good all around it's a great place to get your FOOD, I guarantee it, 110%,plus tax“

“Their food is so good but they don't deliver to the neighborhood that I'm in so I would literally have to go to the nearest public place and order it from there and get my food but it's worth itThe one and only thing that really bothers me about this place is when I order a large shrimp and broccoli they give you the smallest size of rice even though you ordered a large which really grinds my gears“

“The food was very disappointing and very slow. My food was so cold and disappointing. I never experience this at this location. I did tell the manager and he didn't say sorry or offer anything. Very disappointed. I guess I need to find another location.“

“Heard about this chicken spot through a family member and came here and ordered the 2 piece with the empanadas as they sell tons of stuff here a regular chicken shop don’t, loved my service and the food was great, definitely one of the best ones in Perth Amboy! Would recommend this place out of the rest.“

“Great place to get a family dinner when you don't feel like cooking! The food is homemade and cooked with love! I absolutely love mashed potatoes and their mashed potatoes are so good.😊 It is not boxed but real lol.

Personally everything is good but the mashed potatoes with fried chicken and creamed spinach with a side of la Rosa sauce is my favorite meal.

Their french fries are so unique and tasty because their thick cut fries.

My sons loves their mac & cheese with fried chicken and yellow rice. I've recommended it to my coworkers and they all love it too!

If you're thinking about trying it, it's so much better in person because the customer service is great. The owner's wife is wonderful, love her, and the food is always freshly made.“

“My usual is a 10 piece dark meat (legs & thighs). I think this is the best fried chicken in town. Better than Popeyes and the other big chains. Prices have certainly gone up the last 3 years but that's because of inflation and supply chain disruptions.“

“Delicious 😋 perfect amount of food for two! Definitely will be back!“

“I experienced for the first time at Woodbridge center mall the scenic drive through experience of take out reminiscing the fun times we had at the opened mall prior to COVID pat brennan manager at chick filet store ran a cool smooth operation while the line at st George was longer than the people on line at shop rite or the marijuana shop great job guys“

“I Seen the owner making a Chicken. salad For herself that looked really good so I decided to order one the next day. I now call it the Sherene salad. It was delicious. 😋 I am definitely going to order another one.“
