40 Best Chicken Restaurants near Metuchen

“Love it hot and spicy nice“

“Edit: Owner contacted us to make things right and looked for ways to improve. Changing my review because thats how you do business and take care of your customers. Will look to come back to give it another try.

(Original: Pretty expensive for such small portions and mediocre food. Might have to bring out the scale, doubt it’s 10oz of meat.)“

“Loved everything about it! The taste, the texture, that SATISFYING crunch 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾 can’t wait to go back“

“Wonderful family owned business with delicious food 🥰“

“I have been here few times since they opened and it’s always been a great experience. The food is amazing and fresh. The place is very clean and family friendly. The staff is super friendly and go above and beyond for your satisfaction. I will definitely recommend this place to others. It’s very good value as well with good portions sizes.“

“This was my first time at Roselle Fried Chicken, and I have to give it a solid 10/10! The customer service was incredibly friendly, and the prices are unbeatable. I tried the combo meal and even grabbed some ice cream, both were great. They’ve got an impressive variety, making it a perfect spot for a late night bite. Definitely a great choice!“

“so delicious good chicken #1“

“Being a truck driver you are very happy when you can get hot delicious food delivered to you at your convenience. The hot wings were great.They were delivered in a timely manner with great service as always. I’ve had the fried chicken in the past and it was also good but I must say the Buffalo Wings are now my new favorite.“

“I have been going to KFCs since they started and they have been around for at least 20 years +. And I love the menus. The chicken is outstanding and I love the biskits and the chocolate chip cookies. Prices are reasonable to. I’m disabled now so I’m going to have to get someone to go and use the drive in to pick up my food. I live right down the street at the Senior Tower West building at Plainfield Avenue and W. 7th Street. We are right here at the corner. It’s so easy to get there. It’s the best spot for that KFC cause it’s right on the corner and it’s right in a busy section in that area.“

“Ordered a three piece whiting with onion rings,with banana pudding. When I got to the car and started it, the food smelled so good,I had to try some. Consequently,I had eaten it all and passed out behind the wheel,only to awoken by a passersby concerned with my well being. Long story short,great food. Sorry no pictures 😁“

“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.“

“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.“

“The staff here are so friendly! We visited twice, and ordered a variety of sandwiches and chicken meals. Everything was good, and it’s reasonably priced. It’s a small business, and we’re happy to return and support them. It’s not a fancy place but it serves its purpose.“

“Some of the best chicken I've ever had. I frequent here a lot. It's nice to know you have a spot still open when you have those late night chicken cravings, and to top it off its delicious. No matter if it's your first time in you're always treated like a regular, and with respect. I'll forever endorse this place“

“Basic takeout experience. I wish they had better vegetable options; my kids and I hate coleslaw, so we have to make a veggie side in order to have a well rounded meal.

There's no seating inside, which is fine because we were bringing it to family, but I wish they had a drive-thru window so I wouldn't have to unbuckle my kids every time I pick up food there.“

“was able to order through the KFC app and the food was portioned out fast. ordered a 16 piece meal and everything was still hot and crispy when we got home.the location is clean and the staff was really nice.there isn't a homeless person asking for money at the end of the drive through like I'm accustomed at other KFC location (ahem Paterson)“

“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.“

“This place is like home. It’s been around for so many years, grew up eating here. So hospitable. The chicken delicious and juicy and everything is made from scratch! The rice and beans yummy! Always on point and everything is ALWAYS consistent, taste and texture has never changed which I love! Because I know what I am expecting already.“

“As a picky Peruvian, this my go to restaurant when I want to eat Peruvian food. I usually order their rotisserie chicken w the works, aeropuerto de pollo (my toddlers have literally cried to stop and eat here when we drive by) and chicharon de pescado (I don't do jalea because I don't eat shellfish but if you do def try this). For drinks, we always order a pitcher of chicha (which never disappoints) and we also love their fruit (we tried mango and lucuma so far) shakes, which are made from actual fruit and not watered/milked down. This restaurant is also byob. Service is typically great, except on certain holidays so make sure you order at least an hr ahead.“

“This chick-fil-a is amazing. They always go above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect and in order. The event they just had for daddy’s and daughters was unreal and adorable. The staff is amazing. Thank you so much for making this our regular place for our family and making it home.“

“I’ve been ordering from Jezif bi-monthly at minimum and every time has been through Uber Eats. They deserve a shout out. I’ve never physically been there but based off the menu I get chicken shack / halal vibes. The first thing id like to address is their consistency. It’s got to be an unbiased 9.8/9.9. The portions are great. The food is always fresh (possibly because I always request fresh chicken and rice) but I will give them the benefit of the doubt. The food is flavorful and the one thing I truly appreciate with the attention to detail. Any special requests I have had have always been honored and accurate. The rice and chicken platter is my go to, with extra chicken of course (not that it’s needed because the portions are great for the price point). It’s worth paying the little extra. White sauce is always fresh. Chicken is always succulent and well cooked. Rice has never been dry or stale. The fried chicken is an elevated version of what you’d get from most “chicken shacks”. They just consistent deliver at a great price point. And again, I’ve only ever ordered through Uber Eats but the product is always hot and fresh. Beef patties are great. This is a great local spot and I won’t stop ordering even if they let me down once or twice… which they haven’t !!! You order a dinner platter and you have an easy two satisfying meals out of it. I love this spot !!! Excellent quality, quantity and an attention to detail which never goes unnoticed. The only flaw in my eyes is that the banana pudding isn’t that good and they don’t have a hot sauce hot enough available through the delivery app. All in all, I’ll happily keep giving them my money in exchange for the excellence they give in return. Stay blessed, Jezif !!! Food is …… FIRE. EVERY SINGLE TIME.“

“Amazing food with friendly customer service. They treat you like a family and understand customer needs. I wanted my mix platter with broccoli and zucchini which is not in their menu, they were able to provide that for me. My son love their buffalo wings dip in sauce and hot wings. Their fried chicken is always fresh and delicious! I also recommend their cheesesteak, always fresh, hot and juicy!

Vegetarian options: They can make you veggie sub, rice with veggies, Mac and cheese and more

Parking: You can park in front of the store for curbside pickup or at the parking lot with many spots to park at.

Kid-friendliness: They have seats where your little one and sit and enjoy their meal, kids friendly customer service.“

“We use La Rosa food for our kids party ...it was just amazing ...it s help a lot to be a successful party ...thank you so much to La Rosa Berkeley heights“

“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.“

“I love ordering here because the food is very tasty!! It is best to go before noon. Our order was fresh and made to perfection! All of the workers are very friendly and welcoming. You can always find out the prices of the items before you order. I always order multiple lunch platters for my family and it is very filling. I will absolutely order here again!!“

“It is what it is: a deli counter in a convenience store where you can grab some greasy/crunchy chicken, fries, and a biscuit to go. If you’re ok waiting a little longer, they’ve got other menu items too. Glad I have this place close to my office.“

“Bien bueno todo ,,,me gustó,,,todo limplio y la gente bien amable con uno....“

“Been a regular here for years. I know all of the staff, they are very friendly and respect/value their customers. The food is bangin, especially the chicken/tenders. By far the most competitive prices I've found on lava vapes. The owner is very friendly and thoughtful.“

“FORGOT TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE MANAGER LAST TIME ME AND MY HUSBAND WENT TO BUY SOME FOOD, WE PROBABLY WAITED LIKE 6 min AND OUR ORDER WAS READY
EVERYBODY HAVE THEIR OWN OPINION AND SHOULD BE RESPECTED BUT ME I NEVER HAD ANY INCIDENT IN THIS LOCATION THEY ALWAYS KIND AND RESPECTFUL KEEP DOING THE GOOD WORK PLEASE NEVER STOP GIVING GREAT COSTUMER SERVICE TO ALL.“

“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 “

“First timer and I liked it . Best thing is that they are open late night and we’ll located . Lots of parking outside .. nice and clean restaurant from inside . Priced ok ? nice and quick service ..Had chk wings which was normalBut the hot sauce was just awesome … it added a zing to the food . It’s like a secret sauce locally made by them I think . Fries were ok . A little bit soggy . Couldn’t eat much . I also heard their gyros are good ..need to try chk with rice next time :) overall a good experience …“

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

“I usually order the 15 pieces wings from time to time from this location because it’s always so good. The lady that helped me today was very kind and friendly. She had my order ready in 5 minutes and it was hot and delicious. The price here is good for the amount of food you get.“

“nice service and fast and friendly people“

“This KFC is clean and modern with cordial counter staff. My food was freshly made and delicious. There is a TV provided in the dining area, generous parking in the lot, a drive-thru, sunken patio with built in tables/seating and lots of flowers (rose bushes, iris, fragrant lily-of-the-valley) and greenery around the property. Handicap accessible restaurant entrance as well as patio area.“

“I made a large order, right at dinner time. The staff was let me know it would be made to order and told me I could wait comfortably in my car and they'd bring it to me.

Food was fresh and tasty. Spice mix was perfect. I will definitely order again!“

“I have to change my review...I am not sure if it's new management or what...but last night I had the best experience!! The food was delicious like I know Popeyes to be!!! The customer service was awesome!! This Popeyes is back the way it should!! Thank you new management and the young man in the back who cooked that yummy chicken!!!“

“honestly, when it comes to chicken once every six months or so I prefer kentucky. We went today to test the new chicken sandwich which was not bad. kids loved it and adults felt that the sauce was too strong and spicy. But try yourself and make the call.“

“Comida muy rica, el pollo delicioso, y la ensalada de avacado excellente. Todo de aqui me encanta!“

“I love this place! They have great chicken! I have been at this location many times over the years, and it only seems to get better each time I go! Their pricing is very good for what you get in your order. The chicken is crispy on the outside and delicious and juicy inside. Not all dried out like some places. The pieces are much bigger than I remember in the past and not filled with a lot of fatty material like KFC! I will be going again soon...“
