50 Best Chicken Restaurants near North Arlington

“My husband and I stopped in on our way to an event in the area based on reviews. It's a very small place with no indoor seating. However the service was friendly and quick and the chicken bao was very good. If we are ever back in the area, I would try more items from their menu.“

“So good!!!!!!!!! Must try! My favorite place in town!“

“The best chicken 🍗 ever, ever“

“Cauldron Chicken is a small, tucked-away spot in Greenwich Village with flavor that rivals anywhere in the city. Don’t be fooled by the tiny venue—the food carries a rich history and a punch of spice you won’t forget.

Legend has it that Dao Kou roasted chicken dates back to the 18th century, during the reign of Emperor Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, giving this dish a history of over 300 years. That tradition is alive and well here. The chicken literally falls off the bone, tender and perfectly cooked. The spices are out of this world—deep, aromatic, and layered in a way that makes every bite addictive.

It was so good, I even asked for extra spice mix to take home. If you’re a fan of bold flavors and food with a story behind it, Cauldron Chicken is a must-try. Tiny place, big history, unforgettable taste.“

“We’ve been obsessed with this place for the past couple months, the food is amazing I highly recommend it! The salito fries, cheesesteak and the mixed platters are my forever go to! If you’re ever close to this place please check it out!! ❤️“

“I’m visiting NJ (lived here for a long time) and wanted to eat some of my favorite foods. I ordered dinner from port of peri peri and it was perfectly cooked but missing my fries. I let that be known to the restaurant and received a small refund. Next night, I ordered dinner again and I received a large order of fries on the house as well as a discount card for 5% for dine in orders valid for one more week. Amazing customer service. If I were in NJ longer, I would surely order again! The food is absolutely delicious 😋“

“Delicious food and friendly service. Top notch!“

“Apple 🍎 pies not tasty ....tenders & biscuits r best“

“Really enjoyed the food from Bloom Chicken.

The small boneless chicken was honestly huge and the chicken was super crispy. The spicy rice cakes were way better than I expected — especially since I don’t usually like rice cakes.

The only thing keeping this from a 5-star review is that it came with no radish, no dipping sauce, nothing on the side.

For $14 for a small order, I’d expect at least some radish, I’d also give up a few pieces of chicken for radish.

Also, it’s definitely more of a take-out spot — the covered patio is nice but not heated, therefore I ate my food in the car since it was cold.

Overall though, really solid food and an easy 4-star meal.“

“So I’ve always heard about Dave’s but never been till today, first off the service I received was beyond exceptional Dylan M took my order not only did he service with a smile he took time to figure out what I like and suggested what I should get and he was right it did not disappoint I also received my order from Angel H who also provided me and my friend service with a smile he told us how to mix are sauce for the best flavor. 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!!!!!“

“Great food!! Went there for the first time!“

“So I was looking forward to try real korean fried chicken in a while , my previous experiences weren’t great ( and then I came across this little hidden gem in the middle of nowhere!
The place itself is nothing fine dining or fancy , simple , clean and to the point but the fried chicken was yum ! The owner was very nice and we ordered dubboki and a whole fried chicken with a choice of sauces , I definitely would recommend it and come back !
One tiny thing , please next time serve the starter before the chicken because dubboki was a tiny bit colder than I hoped“

“During our trip to NY, we stopped here and grabbed lunch. The line met us at the door but we got our food in under 3 mins due to our orders being taken in line and when we were at the cashier our food got handed to us while we were paying. We sat on the 2nd floor to dine and the restaurant was clean even though it was full during lunch time. The staff got our orders exact and the food was great. The restrooms are located on the second floor.

They have 3 floors at this location:
(First Floor)- Where you make your order and pay/Pick up orders online.
(Second Floor)- This is where you have the first option of dining and restrooms (No code needed).
(Third Floor)- Additional seating for dining.

Also, please note this restaurant is about a 8 min walk from the 9/11 memorial pools/museum, One World Observatory and the Oculus. So if you wanted to grab something before or after visiting this part of the city, this Chick-fi-la would hit the spot!“

“Very friendly staff and excellent food“

“Got the chicken lunch box which costed $10 (came out to $10.88 after tax). It came with rice on the side along with salad. Salad was a bit too vinegary and the chicken tasted too sweet. Didn’t really like how the chicken tasted and the color looks very light. Not sure how to describe it but the chicken tasted “dirty”as if it wasn’t washed well. Would’ve been better if it was fried chicken.“

“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.“

“El mejor lugar para comer es este al 100x1000“

“The crispy spicy with the elementary spicy is A1. Truffle fries one of the best around and great service“

“My favorite chicken in New York City great spin on Indian Street food and the spice level can go off the chart on that big rowdy sandwich! What are you waiting for get your butt down here and have some of those delicious chicken!“

“Great food!! Went there for the first time!“

“Best chicken over rice I've ever had, and the grilled meats and seafood in general are all extremely well marinated, grilled, and of high quality freshness. Desserts are excellent as well. Definitely slightly pricier than a food truck, but worth it for the space, service, and food quality.“

“Best burger in town !!! 🍔“

“I was in the Penn Station area today and had a craving for fried chicken. Initially, I was thinking about going to a certain Filipino fried chicken chain, but after checking the ratings, Pollo Camino came out on top. They’ve recently opened a new branch near Penn Station, but I ended up visiting their 8th Ave location instead — a small, single-storefront shop with a simple interior.

I ordered the fried chicken set for $9.99, which came with two pieces of chicken, a piece of bread, one side, and a drink for an extra $1.
• Drink: I went with their Horchata, made with peanuts and vanilla ,milk, without the cinnamon and rice I’m used to. It had a nice aroma, refreshing, and a bit different — in a good way.
• Side: I chose yuca fries, served in large sticks. The inside was dense than potato, with a lightly crisp exterior. Personally, I wasn’t a fan — I’d say skip this and go for another side.
• Fried Chicken: Lightly battered with a noticeable blend of spices and herbs. The meat was tender, while the skin wasn’t the super-crispy kind you’d get from those well-known Louisiana or Kentucky-style chains. Flavor was solid, but here’s an important tip — just like with many fried chicken places, don’t let it sit too long. Once it cools, the saltiness becomes much more pronounced.

Service gets a full 5 stars in the fast-food category — no self-service pick-up here, they bring your food right to the table.

Overall, Pollo Camino is worth trying if you’re around Penn Station. The price is fair, the chicken is flavorful, but choose your side wisely and eat it while it’s hot. Next time I’ll try a competitor for comparison, but for now, my top spot still belongs to Louisiana chain.“

“Surprisingly Fabulous service , the establishment left a bright and impactful impression on my mood. Had a wonderful chat and wait with the charming and cheerful blue haired employee Janalis, she was the highlight. The food service and timing was great and the lemonade is some of the best i’ve ever had“

“Extremely delicious. First time in US and I would say it was the best American food we eat. Great job!!!

Kid-friendliness: We ordered the family combo and our kid enjoyed french fries aside the chicken so we didn't have to buy him anything special“

“Delicious food with fast services love it.the environment and employees are so nice and the lobby was so cleaned that time.I know one of the guy maybe kawsar or kaiser.he hooked me up as I'm new here.thank you Popeyes team.wanna keep coming again and again.“

“‎I had a wonderful dining experience here and it exceeded my expectations in many ways. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, striking the right balance between casual comfort and stylish charm. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, always checking in at the perfect time. The menu had a thoughtful variety and every dish felt fresh and carefully crafted. I tried a mix of appetizers and mains and each one was presented beautifully with flavors that complemented each other perfectly. What stood out most was the freshness of the ingredients nothing felt heavy or overdone. The drinks menu was equally impressive, with both creative mocktails and classic options prepared with care. Portion sizes were satisfying, leaving just enough room to enjoy dessert without feeling overwhelmed. The dessert itself was a highlight, rich yet balanced in flavor. Prices felt fair for the quality and experience provided, making it a place worth visiting again. Overall, it’s a spot that works for both casual outings and special celebrations.“

“Chicken was delicious and facility clean“

“Some of the best KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) in the city offering packaged deal including beer tower and an app. The place is decorated in Karaoke memorabilia with vinyls, classic turntables, mics and speakers adorning the walls. The wings are made to order crispy skin with spicy saucy. Good atmosphere, a bit loud for conversation and with private okey tables if you are inclined.“

“😃Great food, The chicken is delish“

“I’ve been going here since 2019 and have never once had a bad experience or felt disappointed with the food. The owners are very humble and down to earth people and treat you like family. The chicken fries are probably my #1 favorite thing on the menu. The quality of the chicken and sandwiches are top tier. If you’ve ever had a bad experience here or didn’t think the food was up to your standards, please talk to the owners. I know they’ll make it right.“

“I love the chicken and fries. I wish they delivered to Belleville. I would order more if they did.“

“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 😉“

“From the start from when we first walked in, the place smelled heavenly of fried chicken. The restaurant was clean and had no odor except the delicious smell of fried chicken. We were there at 5:30. The service was friendly and my husband and I were even told about the plastic glove that the napkins and fork were wrapped in when the guy behind the counter handed us our food. That glove came in handy when we ate our wings. We ordered sweet & spicy and BBQ. The coating was crispy and delish. Just how I like my wings. Not over sauced and hot! Definitely going back!!“

“Great taste clean place great service Recommended it“

“This place was sooo good. I came for the delicious turkey tender special and it did NOT disappoint. Everything was amazing! I was able to split a tender and a combo with someone else and leave more than happy. The service was great too. Everyone was super nice and got people their food promptly. Good music too. I’ll definitely be back!“

“The Gyros here are amazing. I'm not sure what they're doing with their pizza dough, but the crust is probably the best I've ever tasted, and the food is reasonably priced as well. All the guys behind the counter are friendly and patient. It's 24 hours so show up whenever you're hungry and they'll have something ready for you.“

“friendly peoples like the food clean restaurant“

“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!“

“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.“

“The food was amazing and surprisingly cheap i recommend the jumbo shrimp and wedges as sides it hits every time crispy on the outside soft in the inside. Their breakfast is very good as well i recommend asking for a omelette even tho it isn’t on the menu.“

“Love the unique flavor of the chicken, one of my favorites places to eat! The rice and beans are amazing. But with the St. Jude promotion make this place a very special and unique one. Thank you Pollo Campero for dedicating this effort for the much need Ángels of St. Jude.“

“Great place! Delicious 😋 food“

“My husband and I drove all the way from Jackson Hole Wyoming and stop by to grab a bite, Food is excelent, everything is clean and looks healthy, staff is super friendly and helpful and the taste is top notch, American and Latin American food too. We highly recomend it. They're doing a really good job.“

“Tried it for the first time. The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. It was actually pretty good. I just don’t understand why it’s eaten with gravy. The fries were quite disappointing. They were too dried and not crispy enough.“

“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.“
