“Love it hot and spicy nice“

“The staff was extremely welcoming and helpful.

Vegetarian options: The asparagus was prepared perfectly; fresh, savory, and crispy. The arroz con gandules (yellow rice with beans) was delicious. Wanted to take some to go but it had sold out. Which is a good sign. Plantains were tender soft and tasty.

Parking: Ample parking available“

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

“Wonderful family owned business with delicious food 🥰“

“My wife loves fried fish and the place we used to go to closed , so we tried this place.. the fish is good with large portion size, 3 pieces of fish with frys is enough to fill me.. and I'm fat.. their cheese steak was more a cheese sandwich though. The price's are good.. I say give em a shot..“

“I ordered for pickup. The lady who was on the phone was inconsiderate, like she didn’t want to do her job. However, that doesn’t stop me from not consistently coming here, and I come here at least once a week for the fried chicken and lamb over rice. The food is 5 stars. I also recently tried the mac and cheese, and it was so good. I will keep coming here!!“

“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.“

“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“

“You only see 8 pieces in the picture, but i got the 12 piece hot wings with fries. This is my go-to spot since i moved to linden nj. I have also tried the chicken buffalo slice and pepperoni slice, and my family has tried the mixed pieces of chicken friend and mash potatoes. So far, everything is good and tasty. We haven't had any bad experiences so far. The owner is a great guy, and he remembers his regulars. The prices are mixed, but i think it's worth the price for good food. They also have milkshakes, ice cream pie slices and cakes.“

“The owner and her beautiful children were one of the biggest highlights of my trip to Newark recently to see the Devils home opener. Talk to her about her incredible journey making this dream turn to reality. Fiercely inspiring. Sensational chicken wings and mozzarella sticks. She’s graceful, humble, polite, an excellent listener, friendly, first rate service, above and beyond, hidden gem, and has impeccable tastes in music. Do yourself a big favor and make this a weekly stop whenever you hit the mall. You won’t regret it. Say hello to her family and leave her a tip if you can.“

“I miss my country so much because it’s really hard to find good Peruvian food outside of Peru, but this little restaurant have it!
I really love their chicken is the closest to the real “Pollo a la brasa” you will find here in NJ. They also have delicious homemade food which brings me back to my home in Peru.
I absolutely recommend it, go and try it, you will love it.
PD: If you ask delivery, call them to be sure they send everything. It happens to me that something was missing, so now I prefer to eat there or go pick up the food. It’s so good so it worth.“

“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“

“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.“

“overall the best chicken shack of all.
chill employees who serve everyone with kindness, except the rude ones which is understandable!
food is really good, would high recommend the chicken and rice/salad platter! very delicious.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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)“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Good food for a good price. My favorite place in Perth to go for fried chicken that's always hot and fresh. The woman working the counter is super sweet and always pleasant to deal with. Don't call too late though, hours say they close at 10 but 9 is more realistic. Try their gyro over rice and salad, it's been my go-to order for quick easy "real food" for months“

“The chicken ordered was good with a little bit of zing. The tenders were larger in size. The biscuits were good, although some parts were dried out from the heat lamp. Overall it was a good experience and I will put this place on rotation with other local eateries.“

“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 “

“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!!!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Is it Krispy? YESIs it Krunchy? YESIs it chicken? YESSo it’s in a convenience store. Don’t let that dissuade you, it’s a taste delight better than found in certain national chains (I won’t give the name, but the initials are ‘KFC’). Service with a smile, too, fast and friendly. Check it out!“

“nice service and fast and friendly people“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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...“

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

“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“

“I used a $6.99 coupon for a 2 PC, chicken boxed meal. It came with a small drink, biscuit, fries, and 2 small pieces of chicken, a wing and something they called chicken breast. I mentioned to the person that took my order that I never saw a leg bone in chicken breast before. He said he doesn't eat chicken. Everything tasted very good! Free refills from the self served soft drink machine. The people are pleasant!

Parking: It's located in a small strip mall. Parking is subject to how busy the area is. I went around 3pm on a Wednesday. It wasn't bad finding a parking spot.“
