Chicken Shops near Metuchen, NJ

“Love it hot and spicy nice“

“A place filled with warmth and hospitality!

David, the manager, along with the entire front desk team on duty at 7:00 PM on Friday, December 19, 2025, surpassed all expectations through their exceptional professionalism and attentiveness. The availability of halal dining options was particularly commendable, allowing my children the freedom to dine according to their preferences. I extend my sincere appreciation to corporate leadership for their thoughtful inclusion of the Muslim community. Additionally, the hot chicken prepared by David was outstanding and greatly enjoyed.“

“Excellent chicken. A true “hidden gem”. Hole in the wall that you’d never expect. Chicken is fresh and always moist. Seriously. Better than PopEyes and KFC, honestly can’t even compare it to them.

Grilled Chicken salad is a made fresh, the grilled chicken was seasoned well, and veggies were crisp. Service is quick and prompt; No Frills. You tell them exactly what you want, they will provide.

Fried chicken was crispy and moist as mentioned before, was seasoned evenly. Go try it yourself before this place becomes famous.“

“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!“

“DOES NOT RECOMMEND! U.S. Military Veterans, Do NOT go to Chick-Fil-A in South Plainfield on Veterans Day. They refused to give me the promotional free Original Chicken Sandwhich today, on Veterans Day, after showing my Veterans ID/Dept of Veterans Affairs ID Card. A 14-year Army Veteran, I am deeply disappointed.“

“The food is good. very happy with service. chicken was delicious. plenty of parking at night“

“Great place to eat!!!! All their food is top notch. I eat chicken here every week for years. Thats a favorite of mines their chicken is moist yet crispy and super tasty. Their chicken over rice Halal platters are a must too. They also carry rice and burgers I eat Here too on a regular!!!! Definitely definitely recommend them“

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

“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.“

“Visited tonight for a late-night craving and had a great experience. The staff was very warm and welcoming, even at a late hour.

I ordered the Chicken Karachi Naan and Chicken Seekh Kebabs—everything was excellent. I can confidently say these are some of the best chicken seekh kebabs in the Northeast. They were served hot, juicy, and perfectly seasoned with a great blend of spices. Honestly, you could easily enjoy two or three just with raita—no naan needed.

As big foodies who’ve tried just about every spot out there, this place really stands out. The atmosphere is clean and inviting, the staff is friendly, and even the restrooms are spotless.

If there were six stars, I’d give it without hesitation.“

“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“

“so delicious good chicken #1“

“Cashier was polite and super friendly. Made me feel like I wanted to buy more than I wanted lol. I took my order to go but the place was very clean. Not a bad experience. Food came out fast and the food was good. I'm not use to these prices but all in all it was a good experience.“

“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.“

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

“Ol’ reliable! Have not been in a while and was impressed by the updates:

⭐️ QR codes to order right at your table
⭐️ Food brought directly to you!

Amazing! Highly recommend.

The staff was great, super friendly and helpful.

Sandwich and fries all for less than $10!“

“The most genuine experience of the Choco people, their culture, and the food is absolutely phenomenal. the seafood and the portions are just like you're on the coast of Buena Ventura- They prepare the meals fresh so be patient, listen to music and have a beer- you will not regret the meal. :0“

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

“My fav is honey garlic/soy garlic wings,boneless chicken (honey garlic) and fries(honestly they should be put in a different container,to stay crispy. Because the aluminum bag makes them soggy). I always get the same thing lol. I order for lunch,dinner and on the go lol. The chicken stays crispy even when it’s cold ..also after reheating 👌“

“As far as fast food goes, they do a great job here. None of the complaints I have about fast food in general are the fault of the employees who work here. Chick-Fil-A is generally quite good compared to other chains and the folks here are clearly doing their best, so I'm giving this 5 stars. I can personally speak to the fact the food is quite fresh, the restaurant is spacious and clean.“

“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.“

“This place is awesome ! It is served very fast and the food is very good , and is priced very fair .
I bought the chicken fingers combo box with extra Texas toast .
Fantastic!
Suggested and recommended to family and friends .“

“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.“

“Last time I had KFC in the states was 6 years ago, however it was over fried and literally trash. The chicken at the Plainfield KFC was perfect, the restaurant is remodeled and clean. I hope they keep up with the high quality; not like other KFC’s nowadays.“

“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 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“

“This place is the best Dominican Food in town. Their Pernil is delicious and crunchy. Everything is savory. Made and taste like and by a true Dominican 🇩🇴. Owners are super friendly too! Definitely check this place out if you’re thinking about it.“

“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.“

“Always good at Chick-fil-A“

“I don’t normally take the time to write reviews unless of course the restaurant absolutely deserves it. This is four times now that I’ve had to deal with this establishment and this particular manager, Jose. Every single time I call In and have a request or a question. He’s always there to answer it. He’s always accommodating and does his absolute best to make sure he’s taken care of his customers. Never once have I had to deal with Jose where he had an attitude or wasn’t pleasant. Every single time I’ve dealt with him he is thorough and ensures the order is complete and correct. This is what constantly keeps me coming back to this particular location. I’ve also seen him interact with other customers and he’s always pleasant and kind. I’ve also expressed this with other family members who say other locations aren’t as great and they agree that this particular location is the way it is because of this particular manager. I truly believe that to be true as it starts at the top. Bravo KFC for hiring such a gem.“

“nice service and fast and friendly people“

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

“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.“

“I remember when it first opened, this was had crazy long lines for even a year afterward. Crazy enough for police presence there to monitor the crowds.

On one of my filipino husband's birthdays, I decided to surprise him with the food of his people. I ordered ahead of time via door dash to order ahead of time with a 530pm pick up time... but the food was prepared an hour early (kinda annoyed that it could have been warmer), so it was more than ready when I arrived.

Their sweet spaghetti is what you'd expect for fast food as well as their loco moco style burger patties... but their chicken (joy) is actually pretty good, even for next day leftovers after a quick toasting. So yes, don't hesitate to go big for the giant family pack. cluck cluck nom nom.

Also don't forget their peach mango pies! Even crispier after a quick air fryer reheat. Husband was happy =)“
