50 Best Chicken Restaurants near Little Ferry

“Had to wait on my chicken to cook. I was not offered a soda or anything for the wait, and i think they mixed old chicken to the new chicken. I could taste it.. They dished it out in the back of the food, serving station. That's how I knew they mixed the chicken other wize they would have done it right in front of me..“

“One of our favorites chicken houses! The staff is great too! Great for take out too!“

“Dave’s Hot Chicken is a great place if you love spicy food. The Reaper hot burger is insanely hot but full of flavour and cooked perfectly. The chicken is juicy, crispy, and fresh every time. Portions are good and the taste really stands out. Not for the faint-hearted, but a must-try for anyone who enjoys serious heat and bold flavours.“

“Chicken and french toast brunch is amazing“

“Reservations weren’t easy to snag, but the food was absolutely worth it, and surprisingly affordable. I ordered the Bucket List and tried one of each of the caviar nuggets, and everything was amazing. Perfect spot for a night out. Service was a 10/10. The staff at the front acknowledged us right away and had us seated quickly. Nothing felt rushed, and the servers were consistently attentive throughout the meal.“

“you think your grandma is in the kitchen. you really won't believe hiw good all the food is.“

“Great food!! Went there for the first time!“

“Cauldron Chicken is a small, tucked-away spot in Greenwich Village with flavor that rivals anywhere in the city. Don’t be fooled by the tiny venue—the food carries a rich history and a punch of spice you won’t forget.

Legend has it that Dao Kou roasted chicken dates back to the 18th century, during the reign of Emperor Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, giving this dish a history of over 300 years. That tradition is alive and well here. The chicken literally falls off the bone, tender and perfectly cooked. The spices are out of this world—deep, aromatic, and layered in a way that makes every bite addictive.

It was so good, I even asked for extra spice mix to take home. If you’re a fan of bold flavors and food with a story behind it, Cauldron Chicken is a must-try. Tiny place, big history, unforgettable taste.“

“We’ve been obsessed with this place for the past couple months, the food is amazing I highly recommend it! The salito fries, cheesesteak and the mixed platters are my forever go to! If you’re ever close to this place please check it out!! ❤️“

“Loved their wings and appys“

“Delicious food and friendly service. Top notch!“

“Great food!! Went there for the first time!“

“I’m visiting NJ (lived here for a long time) and wanted to eat some of my favorite foods. I ordered dinner from port of peri peri and it was perfectly cooked but missing my fries. I let that be known to the restaurant and received a small refund. Next night, I ordered dinner again and I received a large order of fries on the house as well as a discount card for 5% for dine in orders valid for one more week. Amazing customer service. If I were in NJ longer, I would surely order again! The food is absolutely delicious 😋“

“I went to Dave’s hot chicken I ordered my food didn’t look at it until I got home and got someone else order but I wouldn’t go back because it was a 30 minute drive was upset bout not getting what I paid for.“

“Really enjoyed the food from Bloom Chicken.

The small boneless chicken was honestly huge and the chicken was super crispy. The spicy rice cakes were way better than I expected — especially since I don’t usually like rice cakes.

The only thing keeping this from a 5-star review is that it came with no radish, no dipping sauce, nothing on the side.

For $14 for a small order, I’d expect at least some radish, I’d also give up a few pieces of chicken for radish.

Also, it’s definitely more of a take-out spot — the covered patio is nice but not heated, therefore I ate my food in the car since it was cold.

Overall though, really solid food and an easy 4-star meal.“

“Mmmm 🤪Good..............🤨“

“So I’ve always heard about Dave’s but never been till today, first off the service I received was beyond exceptional Dylan M took my order not only did he service with a smile he took time to figure out what I like and suggested what I should get and he was right it did not disappoint I also received my order from Angel H who also provided me and my friend service with a smile he told us how to mix are sauce for the best flavor. I truly appreciate top notch service with a smile it’s very rare now a days, the service alone will have me coming back again!!!!!“

“My husband and I went to Forefeathers tonight for dinner, it was excellent. The chicken tenders were delicious, the pink dipping sauce was very good. The chicken sandwich that my husband had to amazing! Coleslaw was delicious, plenty of sauce and pickles. Fries were excellent….definitely will go back.“

“Love this place! The owner is super cool and the food is delicious! 10/10 taste and customer service every single time!“

“so far we've only used delivery option Whole chicken is amazing, perfectly roasted, juicy while being cooked through, seasoned excellently.
99.9% consistent quality, and quick to correct when it rarely fell short.
Highly recommend!“

“Love it hot and spicy nice“

“Very friendly staff and excellent food“

“Delicious! Dine in was awesome!“

“During our trip to NY, we stopped here and grabbed lunch. The line met us at the door but we got our food in under 3 mins due to our orders being taken in line and when we were at the cashier our food got handed to us while we were paying. We sat on the 2nd floor to dine and the restaurant was clean even though it was full during lunch time. The staff got our orders exact and the food was great. The restrooms are located on the second floor.

They have 3 floors at this location:
(First Floor)- Where you make your order and pay/Pick up orders online.
(Second Floor)- This is where you have the first option of dining and restrooms (No code needed).
(Third Floor)- Additional seating for dining.

Also, please note this restaurant is about a 8 min walk from the 9/11 memorial pools/museum, One World Observatory and the Oculus. So if you wanted to grab something before or after visiting this part of the city, this Chick-fi-la would hit the spot!“

“Tada — Chinatown, NYC

Tada is an easygoing spot in Chinatown that does casual Korean comfort food with a clean, modern touch. The room is simple and relaxed, making it a comfortable choice for an unfussy meal that still feels thoughtfully put together.

The food is straightforward and well executed. The HSBC Army Stew stands out as the most satisfying dish—rich, spicy, and comforting, with enough depth and portion to truly anchor the meal. It’s the kind of dish you come back craving.

The fried chicken, which Tada is best known for, delivers as expected. Crisp, well-seasoned, and juicy, it’s done with confidence and is an easy crowd-pleaser.

Portions across the menu lean modest, and at this price point, a few more side dishes or something like a steamed egg or soft tofu would make the meal feel more complete. Still, for casual dining, Tada gets the fundamentals right: good flavors, reliable execution, and a laid-back atmosphere that works well for a low-key Chinatown stop.“

“There’s a reason Jollibee is known for having the best fried chicken in America — it’s perfectly crispy, juicy, and full of flavor every time. I even tried their new spicy chicken sandwich, and it was excellent as well. The food is always fresh, the service is friendly, and the experience is consistently great. Absolutely worth the stop.“

“The spicy chicken biscuit omg toooooo die for so my husband and I saw many people entering this spot plus it was our first time. We heard mac and cheese, greens, and fried chicken. So we got a bucket of mixed chicken, two sides of Mac and cheese, and some collard greens (they make them with black eyed peas and tomatoes; totally different from any kind of greens I ever had and I definitely was left craving more. Nice little spot and such friendly people. Heading back very soon“

“The crispy spicy with the elementary spicy is A1. Truffle fries one of the best around and great service“

“The guy working the counter seemed sooooo detached, uninterested. Not rude, just really detached. The chicken was delicious though, not dry, crispy, juicy, flavorful and the slaw, pickle and sauce completed it. I would like to go back if I lived closer.“

“Excelente servicio muy cómodo lo maximoo“

“My favorite chicken in New York City great spin on Indian Street food and the spice level can go off the chart on that big rowdy sandwich! What are you waiting for get your butt down here and have some of those delicious chicken!“

“Thank you for the warning before I burned my face off with the reaper chicken strip 🤓🥺 Food is tasty, staff is friendly, it’s a whole vibe..LOVE IT!! 💗💗💗💗💗“

“The place has great curb appeal, and the inside service matches that first impression. This spot has always had the perfect ambiance. Their approach outclasses the competition. I think relatives own this spot and are very welcoming. The experience here is absolute satisfaction.“

“I was in the Penn Station area today and had a craving for fried chicken. Initially, I was thinking about going to a certain Filipino fried chicken chain, but after checking the ratings, Pollo Camino came out on top. They’ve recently opened a new branch near Penn Station, but I ended up visiting their 8th Ave location instead — a small, single-storefront shop with a simple interior.

I ordered the fried chicken set for $9.99, which came with two pieces of chicken, a piece of bread, one side, and a drink for an extra $1.
• Drink: I went with their Horchata, made with peanuts and vanilla ,milk, without the cinnamon and rice I’m used to. It had a nice aroma, refreshing, and a bit different — in a good way.
• Side: I chose yuca fries, served in large sticks. The inside was dense than potato, with a lightly crisp exterior. Personally, I wasn’t a fan — I’d say skip this and go for another side.
• Fried Chicken: Lightly battered with a noticeable blend of spices and herbs. The meat was tender, while the skin wasn’t the super-crispy kind you’d get from those well-known Louisiana or Kentucky-style chains. Flavor was solid, but here’s an important tip — just like with many fried chicken places, don’t let it sit too long. Once it cools, the saltiness becomes much more pronounced.

Service gets a full 5 stars in the fast-food category — no self-service pick-up here, they bring your food right to the table.

Overall, Pollo Camino is worth trying if you’re around Penn Station. The price is fair, the chicken is flavorful, but choose your side wisely and eat it while it’s hot. Next time I’ll try a competitor for comparison, but for now, my top spot still belongs to Louisiana chain.“

“Stopped into this spot for a quick drink and ended up eating some super great wings! Cooked perfectly and wonderfully crispy, they paired well with any drink you’re having 🙂‍↕️ Perfect spot to end the night after doing some sightseeing in the area. They have private rooms for Karaoke too! 🎤“

“Had my first ever Dave’s reaper chicken tender here. Extreme spiciness aside, the cooks were definitely cheffing it up back there because the tender was so juicy and crispy. The fried pickles really good too. Everyone was very friendly, esp our cashier/waiter who cheered me thru the reaper tender.“

“Great welcome from Joy (the girl with blonde and blue hair)! She was super nice and recommended the best menu, so I highly recommend this place.

Don’t hesitate to stop by and see Joy if you want great service ! Thanks again“

“Relaxed atmosphere of a dive bar with killer food.

First note: they have the worst Diet Coke I have ever had in my entire life. Completely flat and tastes like it came out of a dirty gun.

HOWEVER every time I come here I get the chicken platter, Mac and cheese, and a tuna melt. The chicken is succulent with a beautiful breading and is piping hot every time. It is served with a sweet honey butter that goes beautifully with the biscuits as well. The biscuits are good but not mind blowing, they are small and served 3 per order. The Mac and cheese can be dry depending on the batch but this most recent visit was perfectly creamy but still firm enough to slice. It is a baked style. The tuna melt is one of my favorites in the city. It has a massive amount of tuna inside but feels lighter than others I have had. It almost takes like the tuna is whipped. I can’t figure out what they do to the tuna but it’s great. The best part about this place is that the kitchen is open late. We actually came this time because the restaurant we were trying to go to had closed their kitchen early. It’s really great having this option in the area.“

“Last year, I wanted to visit this place for my birthday, but it was not open. This year, I finally got to visit and I absolutely love it. It's delicious, just like people say.“

“The owner is so kind and the food is amazing. The chicken so juicy and delicious and the fries too. Definitely recommend’“

“Chicken is good! Seasoned & flavorful! Fries good too! Mac & Cheese needs to go back to the basics.“

“Been going there for the past 30 years“

“The roasted chicken bowl was tasty, the rice had a good flavor too. The chili lime fries had a wonderful flavor and were nice and crunchy.“

“‎I had a wonderful dining experience here and it exceeded my expectations in many ways. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, striking the right balance between casual comfort and stylish charm. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, always checking in at the perfect time. The menu had a thoughtful variety and every dish felt fresh and carefully crafted. I tried a mix of appetizers and mains and each one was presented beautifully with flavors that complemented each other perfectly. What stood out most was the freshness of the ingredients nothing felt heavy or overdone. The drinks menu was equally impressive, with both creative mocktails and classic options prepared with care. Portion sizes were satisfying, leaving just enough room to enjoy dessert without feeling overwhelmed. The dessert itself was a highlight, rich yet balanced in flavor. Prices felt fair for the quality and experience provided, making it a place worth visiting again. Overall, it’s a spot that works for both casual outings and special celebrations.“

“I’ve been going here since 2019 and have never once had a bad experience or felt disappointed with the food. The owners are very humble and down to earth people and treat you like family. The chicken fries are probably my #1 favorite thing on the menu. The quality of the chicken and sandwiches are top tier. If you’ve ever had a bad experience here or didn’t think the food was up to your standards, please talk to the owners. I know they’ll make it right.“

“The pictures they advertise with has about 4 pieces of tenders but the sandwich is really 2 tenders but tasty and filling....... I also got the 5 piece and its worth it. Fries are tasty but floppy soft with a slight crunch (not bad but definitely not great like McDonald's) The biscuit is really good I'm just missing honey butter. Add 2 tenders for only $2 for each tender and you got another delicious sandwich..... Both the sandwich and tenders has a nice crunch, enough crunch to uncross Kash Patel's cockeye!“

“😃Great food, The chicken is delish“

“Chicken was delicious and facility clean“

“Chicken is crunchy and delicious! Everything I've tried so far has been good. Glad I finally tried Chicken Galore last month, but, now I'm a little addicted 😉“
