“Popeyes is one of my favorite fast food chains! I absolutely love their crispy, juicy fried chicken and the biscuits are always so soft and buttery. The Cajun fries are also a must-try – they have just the right amount of seasoning and always come out hot and crispy. The staff at my local Popeyes are always friendly and efficient, and the restaurant is always clean and well-maintained. Overall, I have consistently had great experiences at Popeyes and highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious, quick and affordable food.“

“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 am from Montclair but travel to Newark often for their chicken, mac and cheese, onion rings, pizza and shrimp. Yum. Their employees are wonderful. The restaurant is busy because their food is worth it. It is inappropriate for anyone to suggest that their location means they should sell their good food for cheap.“

“I stopped here after I finished getting my nails done next door. I used their ATM and came back. I grabbed lamb over rice with salad. The lamb was delicious the rice was ok expected more flavor. People weren’t watching their kids and they were eating off other peoples plates. I don’t mind sharing with kids but please don’t allow them to stick their hands in random strangers plates. I would definitely return for take out not to dine in.“

“Good food at affordable prices I’m a clean establishment. Fried chicken always freshly done and I will say it’s a good place to stop in for a quick bite but recommend grabbing your food to go. Thugs and dealers in community doesn’t make the spot feel inviting.“

“I’m a New Jersey native of this area and now live in Michigan and when I come to vacation in New Jersey this is a must stop place if I could buy a franchise and bring it to Michigan I would the chicken is amazing the flavors on the chicken and the seasoning the way they fry it. It is one of the most amazing pieces of fried chicken that I’ve ever had, I truly recommend anyone to come and try the chicken from this place. I bought a I bought a box meal with a extra piece of chicken on the side and taste of the chicken was juicy was amazing.“

“Parking: Franklin Ave. Is tough finding parking. Best on side streets.

Kid-friendliness: Corner Store , Street Traffic Cocerns I'd leave the small kids & pick up there favorites.

Wheelchair accessibility: On street level wheelchair should roll in fine.“

“A friend ordered a variety of wraps and some fried chicken for my family which was a wonderful surprise in itself. But to add to this the food was Amazing!!! Crispy non greasy moist chicken, tasty huge chicken wraps and the largest fresh shrimp wraps with fresh vegetables that I have ever seen. Give this local establishment a chance you won’t be disappointed.“
