27 Best Chicken Restaurants near Middlesex

“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.“

“Came here to try the limited time pickle menu items after seeing reviews, namely Kenji’s. We were pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness of the restaurant. Everything from the chairs to floors, restroom and even exterior seemed new. The service was great and the employees all seemed genuinely happy. The food was hot, crispy, had the right amount of pickle flavor and spice. The pickle lemonade is interesting, it’s not for everyone though. I hope they will keep the pickle menu available for more than a month!“

“We ordered our food and when we went up to ask for it Alex made a rude remark toward me and my 12 year old sister. As a person who works a customer service job it is UNACCEPTABLE behavior and he attempted to HIT ON ME with promises of free ice cream in exchange for a “favor”“

“Love it hot and spicy nice“

“I’m originally from Guyana and the Caribbean, where flavor is life and every dish tells a story. Over the years, I’ve explored a world of cuisines—American, Pakistani, Indian, French, French Quebec, Canadian, Haitian, Italian, Middle Eastern, Israeli, Chinese, Thai, Greek—each with its own magic. But nothing prepared me for the pure joy I found at Mazar Afghan. Let me tell you: no rice and meat combo in the world has hit me like this one. The lamb shank leg? Massive, tender, and seasoned like it was kissed by the spice gods. The rice? Fragrant, fluffy, and layered with flavor that makes you pause mid-bite just to appreciate it. Even my wife—who’s got a sharp palate and isn’t easily impressed—confirmed it’s awesome. (Though she might be side-eyeing my new rice obsession 😅) And the tea with milk? If you order the best, it’s like a warm hug in a cup. Smooth, aromatic, and the perfect finish to a feast that leaves you full but craving more. No short change here. Portions are generous, the hospitality is warm, and the flavors are unforgettable. Just one request to the chef: please don’t jack the price up on me! 😂“

“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.“

“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.“

“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)“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 …“

“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“

“Friendly staff good service“

“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 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.“

“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 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.“
