Chicken Shops near Montclair, NJ

“Honestly, it makes me so happy that a place like this still exists in downtown Montclair. I picked up two pizzas today - a pepperoni and a cheese for $25. The woman there was incredibly sweet and gave me a free container of cut watermelon as well. I really like their pizza and have always sung their praises - it’s slightly spicy. Traditional? Not exactly but I’m Italian and I think it’s delicious for a good price so that’s what matters. Hope they’re around for a long time — they’ve always been there for me in a later night pinch“

“Picked up a Slider, Strip Combo and came with a free drink which is not something I’ve see where so definitely a plus.
Nice ambiance with high ceilings and lights. Very rustic and casual. The hot sauce is really hot so be careful. Should have gone with mild or medium. Mind you i do like hot sauce so when i say hot is hot its really is.. But the sauce had a kick to it.
Would definitely go back. The fries were really good.“

“Thank you for the warning before I burned my face off with the reaper chicken strip 🤓🥺 Food is tasty, staff is friendly, it’s a whole vibe..LOVE IT!! 💗💗💗💗💗“

“The workers were incredibly friendly. Great personalities. The place is very clean. And the food was very good. Flavorful chicken. The sides are a lot of fried foods too, but those were still very good. Nothing felt overly seasoned either, so you can enjoy eat thing you get without what you ate before overpowering your taste buds.“

“Went to this location to get my Korean fried chicken and cheese balls yesterday everything was so good! The chicken was super crispy and flavorful, and the cheese balls were perfectly gooey inside. The staff were friendly too, and the service was quick. Definitely coming back again!“

“A friend recommended this place and we decided to try them out for my fathers birthday. We ordered their fried chicken spicy and regular, coleslaw, Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes. Everything was fresh. The chicken was seasoned to perfection and was very juicy. Customer service was incredible they even called me hours later to make sure the food met our standards. Highly recommend!“

“The Best place!! The best meatS and seafood“

“The chicken here is out of this world! Even if you order using delivery services, it is worth every penny. The chicken is perfectly cooked and crispy on the outside. The sliders are large, so one combo was like two meals. This is my new favorite restaurant!“

“Royal Chicken was amazing! The chicken was great, super flavorful and perfectly cooked. We took it to go for a party and it was the first thing that was gone. The guy at the front was amazing as well, very friendly and helpful. Definitely ordering again!“

I truly appreciate top notch service with a smile it’s very rare now a days, the service alone will have me coming back again!!!!!“

“There’s a reason Jollibee is known for having the best fried chicken in America — it’s perfectly crispy, juicy, and full of flavor every time. I even tried their new spicy chicken sandwich, and it was excellent as well. The food is always fresh, the service is friendly, and the experience is consistently great. Absolutely worth the stop.“

“The absolute most delicious Korean fried chicken! Much better than any other similar options in the surrounding areas. It's an unassuming place that just gets the good spot on!! You won't regret ordering chicken from here ... 😋“

“The owner is so kind and the food is amazing. The chicken so juicy and delicious and the fries too. Definitely recommend’“

“I was not expecting these to be some of the best chicken tenders I've ever had, but here we are. The spice blend was incredible, the meat was high quality and tender, and the breading was absolute perfection. I can't find a single criticism to give, just WOW“

“nice place, delicious 😋 food, quality was excellent also it was a friendly experience I really recommend it“

“If you’re looking for authentic flavor, this is it. The food tastes exactly like home cooking. The rotisserie chicken is juicy and seasoned perfectly, but the beans are the best I've had in the area. This is my new favorite spot for a real Puerto Rican and Dominican meal!“

“AWESOME food! I love the atmosphere. And I really love the fact that they serve the best falafel in the city.“

“Delicious halal food. I always get burger combo here and it fills me up. I also love their mousse cake and banana pudding. I love their nacho cheese fries as well. The guy that works there is very nice and excellent customer service here very kind. They also have multiple locations and are open late. Definitely recommend!“

“The chicken was really good,crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. It was well-seasoned and tasted fresh, not greasy. The portion size was filling, and the food came out hot. The service was fast, and the place was clean. Overall, it’s a great spot for chicken, and I would definitely come back!!!“

“Been coming here for a while now and the food has been amazing. The fried chicken is one of the best I’ve had in all of the east coast. They also just got BBQ Ribs and Oxtails. And they are heavenly, and full of flavors. Feels like im in a Jamaican/fried chicken cuisine. Best of both worlds.“

“Chicken is crunchy and delicious! Everything I've tried so far has been good. Glad I finally tried Chicken Galore last month, but, now I'm a little addicted 😉“

“9/27/25

Hubby was looking for something to eat and found Dominican Pica Pollo. Fried chicken with Dominican seasoning, it's so good.

I got the sandwich and hubby got chicken pieces. Have to say I prefer the chicken pieces. The chicken in the sandwich was a little overcooked so it was very dry, even though it is wonderfully seasoned.

Will go back for the chicken pieces yum.“

“So so so good! Amazing quality and delicious flavors! I love that you can order in DeliverZero containers instead of single-use! Everything was so good but I’m most amazed with the tenders! The chicken was juicy and delicious and didn’t seem to be super fried and didn’t have a ton of breading, allowing the chicken to really shine 😍“

“Stopped by Jollibee Newark and had such a pleasant experience! The staff were friendly and efficient, and the manager went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. You can really tell they care about their customers. The food was great as always — hot, tasty, and exactly what I was craving. Highly recommend this location!“

“I love this place. I don't mind having to wait as long as my food is nice and hot! The women who work the counter are extremely friendly and helpful, and they always give top notch service. My grandmother were very satisfied with our order! Been coming here several years, and this is the best experience I've ever had! Keep up the great work!!“

“ONE OF MY FAVORITE RESTAURANTS, I LOVE THE CHICKEN AND RIB COMBO I DON'T NEED A SIDE JUST SOME EXTRA SAUCE. I HAVE GONE SO MUCH THAT THE PPL THAT WORK THERE KNOW MY NAME AND TELEPHONE NUMBER BY HEART. THEY EVEN GIFTED ME SOME SHIRTS FOR MY LOYALTY....“

“If you like Spanish Portuguese food, this will satisfy whatever you feel like steaks to chops to fish to Mariscos 🦀. I took an order of garlic pork chops which were delicious and a great value to go for dinner later! The waiter I don't know if I'm spelling it right, Solo was terrific and attentive and he had a full bar to deal with too! I will probably go there today again!

“This is a fantastic place to get delicious. Fast food. Chick-fil-A beats out the others. The value can't be beat. Get the number one meal and ask for mayo and Chick-fil-A sauce. Put a packet of mayo on your Chick-fil-A sandwich and bring the Chick-fil-A sauce home to improve whatever it is. You eat at home. The baffle fries need nothing. Get a lemonade if you can handle the sugar“

“First timer since i just moved to Palisades park couple month ago. I got to know the chef and owner by name, the first day i came in. Very nice people, atmosphere and mostly, Food! chicken is seasoned just right, def has southern kick. Love it. Highly recommended.“

“They’re the best of the best. I drive all the way from Wayne, New Jersey just to get my dishes from here! This is the best chicken spot i’ve ever been too, the staff are incredible and the management is above and beyond. You can definitely see they take care of the establishment and the care for the food is the best. Well trusted.“

“Just left this location and I am beyond impressed! Employed are SMILING! The place was packed and it was still spotless every table clean, the line moved incredibly fast and the food was ready even faster! Hot crispy and delicious! They brought it out to my table asked me if I wanted any sauce, and when I was done I was OFFERED a re fill for the road! This place is beyond 5 stars! You are receiving better than restaurant quality service at fast food prices! I will never visit a different location locally ever, why go somewhere substandard when you have the very best right here! I never write reviews after my first visit anywhere just to ensure consistency but this place was fantastic every employee I encountered was incredibly nice. Thank you to the owner/manager for having such a wonderful staff and thank you to the staff for honestly genuinely looking like you love your job! I would love for my son to work here as I feel the standard is high and I would want him to be held to this standard in all things in life!“

“Great hot wings, that's pretty much the only thing I ever get here, but I have had other things, and it was pretty good. All the employees are really friendly and extremely patient. Just to be perfectly honest, this place is located in a rather tough area, so keep that in mind when going here. Also there's no seating, it's strictly take out, the prices are very fair, and it offers a decent amount of other products similar to a small bodega. All in all, the wings keep me going back almost weekly for a number of years now and I've never had any problems with other customers. Enjoy!“

“I celebrated my nomination this evening in this excellent restaurant. Well it was a enjoyable evening and the restaurant was unquestionably the reason for this successful meeting. The crew contributed in a gorgeous way, the cooking was very good and my buddies were very glad. We shall absolutely come back again for more joyful events. thanks very much.“

“First time eating at this spot, literally 2 minutes walk from where I live it and I’ve always seen people in and out but never stop and try, Not a big fan of Chinese food but I wanted to try something different today and the wings and barbecue sauce was so good.“

“Small business with big flavor. Soul food is delicious. There is no place to really sit, so it's more of a order to go kind of place. Your favorites are served there and they do catered trays. Best of all they are offering Cheesecakes By Diamond. If you haven't tried them, then you're missing out. Stop by and check them out“

“Fast friendlyservice. Love this place.“

“I just love their spaghetti! I even tried to make it at home with banana ketchup using a recipe I found online, but it’s just not the same. Their chicken is great too, but today I came just for the spaghetti. Honestly, I even paid $5 for parking at American Dream Mall just to eat it — totally worth it! 🍝🔥“

“Been going to Happy Paisa Chicken for decades. Though I’m a pescatarian, I’ve always been satisfied with delicious food. My mom and friends like the chicken meals; I enjoy tostones, salad, rice, yucca, beans (frijoles), green sauce, puffed cheese pastries, and more. Since the 2020’s began, however, there is only the Take-out option; no dine-in.
A word of caution: be careful to park legally on the street; I’ve gotten a couple of parking tickets there over the years.“

“I have bought meals from this store many times ever since they opened in GSP food court. This is one of the most popular restaurants in the mall, sometimes the line wrapping around the stairs. It’s take out only, but of course guests can use the mall’s dining hall for dine-in. The store does a good job of putting associates outside who take customers orders while they are waiting in the line. It speeds up the process and keeps the line short.

The store takes relatively short tike to prepare the orders. I always got my orders within 10 minutes. They always pack the items correctly. Never had any missing from the bag. They are also generous with the sauces. I got more whenever I asked. I love the chicken deluxe sandwich, chicken nuggets, waffle fries, milkshake of Chic Fil A. This store does an excellent job of maintaining the quality, taste and standard, at all times.

The associates are very friendly here. They always greet and smile. They happily fulfill any reasonable requests like extra sauces, napkins or utensils. The rewards account is also valuable as I get points for purchases from this store. I have redeemed points at this also for free sandwiches and desserts. I hope they continue to do well and keep making the guests happy at GSP.“

“I actually got a half chicken with fried rice and then another half chicken by itself. The best part was I asked the young lady behind the counter to not chop up my chicken and leave it as is. And she did I don't know why but it made me feel like a kid in a candy store ?... Will update with photos when I get it again ??“

“Great selection and great quality.“

“The food is Way better than I remember!!! When I grew up in north Carolina this was a country staple!!! When I ate their recently the chicken and waffle fries where awesome!! Im a little sad I missed my birthday though I did celebrate with a cigar which is even cooler“

“is like puerto rico good food“

“Their food is so good but they don't deliver to the neighborhood that I'm in so I would literally have to go to the nearest public place and order it from there and get my food but it's worth itThe one and only thing that really bothers me about this place is when I order a large shrimp and broccoli they give you the smallest size of rice even though you ordered a large which really grinds my gears“

“My usual is a 10 piece dark meat (legs & thighs). I think this is the best fried chicken in town. Better than Popeyes and the other big chains. Prices have certainly gone up the last 3 years but that's because of inflation and supply chain disruptions.“

“I loved the food, very delicious, the grilled chicken and the jelly, recently, rich and poor in other restaurants, I like this one better, I'm going to continue eating here ... I love the food very yumi better than other restaurants I went to and the service was fast and great food I'm gonna keep eating here ?“

“Amazing food but workers don't know how to do simple substitution refund. The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was just right. Highly recommend this place!“
