42 Best Chicken Restaurants near Metuchen

“Love it hot and spicy nice“

“I really enjoy the food here. I always order takeout from the app and they never disappoint. The white rice and arrow con gandules is authentic and official. Thier pink beans with the squash, gives it that puerto rican sabor. The chicken is flavorful and their skirt steak is on the money. The salmon is delicious and their potatoe salad is just like grandma's 👍🏽. The service is excellent and the food is always fresh. They're a little pricey, but absolutely worth it.“

“I went to Dave's for the first time yesterday 7/5. We ordered through the kiosk.The service was fast, friendly and efficient. Even though it was very busy. I got the x men box. The food was good. I got the mild chicken slider. Mild was the right amount of heat for me. Hot but not to hot. One thing I'll note, each meal does not come with a drink. This is very puzzling. Other than that, we will definitely be back.“

“Got the steak from here a couple times, the steak was very good from here.

There’s also so many options for when me and my family and friends are ordering with me, no one gets to complain that they don’t have the food they want like other restaurants.“

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

“This place is so yummy! We had to make a stop at Sierra Trading post and my son was craving chicken so he did a search and this was close by. We ordered the chicken combo and the pork combo and it was so so
delicious! So flavorful! We wish it was closer to wear we live.“

“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.“

“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“

“If I’m hosting at my house or attending an event elsewhere where I need to bring a dish. I will order a tray of chicken from here. It’s very good fried chicken and the prices are reasonable. I highly recommend giving them a try. This is not a sit down place. Take out only. I cannot comment on any of their meals. I only order their chicken for events, but they do offer a full menu. Street parking only.“

“I bought an order of chicken and it was delicious and really tasty. My entire family loved it and said it was really good. I definitely will be going back soon for more❤️“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“From the very first plate, everything felt intentional. The presentation wasn’t just pretty, it was poetic…colors placed like they had a purpose, textures layered like a quiet symphony. Then you taste it, and suddenly it all makes sense. Every bite had depth. Not just flavor, but personality. Rich without being heavy, bold without being loud.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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“

“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 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.“

“‘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 !“

“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 …“

“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 clean!!! Even the bathroom! Staff were so friendly, so attentive and helped me through the menu. I spoke to Jose the manager and he helped me and was so respectful. Highly recommended. Can see the entire kitchen from the window, not a drop of food on the floor, cleanest I've seen a fast food restaurant. I got my food as I paid, so did the gentleman in front of me, fast!“

“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 😁“

“Came in for late lunch and it looks like new menu and decot inside since the last
Time I was here 3/4 years ago. So possibly new ownership. Waspleasantly surprised from how busy it was inside to the large portion sizes to the quality and taste of the food. For those looking for a taste of Peru. This is the place to go.

I got the Mussels and postponed (fried plantains) with the picante sauce, eve. Reasonably priced as well. Definitely will be back when in the area.“

“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 “

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“nice service and fast and friendly people“

“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!“

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

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

“*Update-Came back today and they gave me the 3pc chicken as recompensation TY 😊 happy customer
Just recently ordered in person and instead of paying attention to the food they were talking and forgot to add my 3pc chicken in my order once I got home“

“Absolutely love this place! The food was fresh, hot, and full of flavor, and the service was fast and friendly. This popeyes was way more clean and welcoming compared to other locations i’ve been to. I always have a great experience here, I’ll be coming back again soon!“

“I have only eaten here once. I ordered a famous bowl but was a little disheartened to find that there were only four pieces of chicken in the actual bowl.

In terms of service, the workers there were nice (they were even singing along to the song playing in the restaurant which got me to smile).

As far as atmosphere, it's at a major junction point, so if you're looking for a place with a scene, you're not going to find it here.“
