“I had never heard of Broadway Chicken, and then a few weeks ago when I needed to do grocery shopping at the ShopRite in the same shopping center in Middletown, I had some extra time and was feeling hungry, so I thought I would give the Broadway Chicken a try. Since I had never been there before, I decided to get a 10-piece chicken nuggets, figuring that's probably the easiest thing to do well. They were SO GOOD, as was the honey mustard dipping sauce I got with them (the ranch sauce was good too, but the honey mustard was amazing). I hate any fat or gristle on meat, and the nuggets had none of either -- just good white meat real chicken, with crisp and very tasty breading. I sat outside at one of the picnic tables and ate my nuggets while reading a book.

The following week I went back and did basically the same thing -- ordered nuggets, and ate them while reading my book. The music, which comes through speakers outside as well as inside, while not bad (basically a mix of blues/folk/country), was too loud, at least for me. When the server brought my food, I asked him if it would be possible to turn it down a bit, and said that if that wasn't possible I understood. He said it should be fine, and went back inside -- and within just a minute or two the music was turned down to a more reasonable level. I really appreciate that extra level of customer service.

I went back again today, prior to doing my grocery shopping -- I think I'm addicted, lol. This time I got the Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap, which has good reviews on their website. First of all, it was massive! I could literally only eat half of it, and had to take the other half home for tomorrow. Secondly, it was very tasty -- you can get the chicken fried or grilled, and I chose fried, and it was done perfectly. The bacon was also good, and the romaine lettuce was fresh and crisp. The cheese and ranch sauce were also good. I think I still prefer the nuggets, but the wrap is a very close second. Also, when the server brought my wrap out to me, he asked if he could bring me anything else, like napkins. I already had napkins, but I let him know that I had only recently discovered Broadway Chicken, and that so far I really liked everything I had gotten there. He thanked me, and told me that his name is Mike and he is one of the owners. He also told me that the chicken is antibiotic free, and that they make their sauces in-house -- both good to know, and good selling points! Mike, and every other staff member I've dealt with there, have demonstrated excellent customer service (and by the way, the music was still at a reasonable level on this trip). Between that and the tasty food, I am sure I will keep coming back. :-D“

“My only complaint is you haven't opened one in Mercer County (preferably Hamilton)“

“I went here to try a fresh poultry and it was what I expected and liked that I had my choice of country hen. The service was good and I didn't have to wait long before receiving my hen they even give you the gizzardsand feet. It costs a little higher than I expected. But for fresh poultry it's worth it. My only realy complaint is parking is terrible. The chickens aren't jammed together and have some space to roam which is good. I will go again.“

“Our favorite spot for take out :) Sal and his staff are the best. La Rosa in Manalapan is everyone’s favorite for a reason!“

“Definitely the diamond in this strip mall; John and the crew make everything fresh and made to order! Beyond greatness in customer service, accuracy, and in a timely manner! But again give the men some time as the chicken is deliciously pressure cooked! Amazing crispy and tender, completely on point every time! A must have!Great work John, stay proud of your business!“

“‘Alhamdu Lillah!
I’m Not From There Area. Upon a Work Assignment In Perthamboy, Whence Lunch Time Arrived The Search For “DHABIHA FOOD” In a Non-Muslim Dominated City Is Challenging . But, I Found This Spot. Not Only Do They Have The Halal Certified Certificate But, They Were So Very Accommodating .

I Can’t Have The White Sauce , They Corrected My Order Without UnProfessional Hesitations…. THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH !“

“Good food and very nice staff. Wish they served hot coffee. Would be cheaper than Starbucks and my husband and I like coffee with our lunch.“

“nice service and fast and friendly people“

“I order from Matawan because we don’t have one near us and their food is amazing, the chicken though…. The breading, the crispness, the fries…. Everything is delicious. Everything is prepared with love. Thank you so much for always making the best chicken “

“i usually order jezifs through doordash since i got a deal on dashpass and they're on there. every single time ive ordered from here, the food has been incredibly well made and packed, and my current order was very carefully thought for. i had ordered a red velvet cake, oreo cheesecake, and chocolate cake. since they didn't have chocolate, they compensated by sending a tres leches and their apple cake as well, which was so lovely to see. overall amazing place to get food from, all my love to the staff!“

“Chicken strips were excellent anything extra crispy and The size were just great“

“It is good to have fried chicken in the house.“

“Employees were excellent. Acknowledge our presence immediately. We needed more time to select the item front menu and they were very helpful and had a lot of patience. At one point I needed help to get the seltzer water from soda machine and employee help me with that. They provide me with different kind of sauces as I need. The best part was the food was very good. Keep up the great Job. Only reason I had to take out one point because there was no butter provided with biscuit. All of the locations offered the butter with the biscuit , except this one.“

“Probably the best fried chicken in the area these days. Good customer service at this location, generally not too crowded. I only go to drive through so can't say what it's like inside. Overall though very convenient, order is always ready on time, and easy to get in and out of.“

“I am vegetarian 😂 but I will rate the sides:
Mac & cheese, mashed potato, rice & beans here are GREAT.
(a friend insists to stop at different Popeyes, says Perth Amboy makes chicken the best of all)
I must agree on the Sides, here = consistently great.
Friendly staff, appear overworked, so be patient and nice to them“
