50 Best Chicken Restaurants near Rutherford

“Dorothy is the best…. Great tasting chicken… get the shrimp dumplings…“

“Popeyes never disappoints! Of course, the chicken is crispy, juicy, and full of flavor exactly what you’d expect. But what really surprised me this time was the ranch. Their buttermilk ranch isn’t just any ranch; you can actually taste the creamy, tangy authenticity in every bite. It pairs perfectly with the chicken and sides, balancing out the spices with a smooth richness. You can tell it’s made right, not just a generic dip. Honestly, the ranch alone is worth coming back for… it takes the whole meal up a notch. Popeyes nailed it!“

“This was my first time trying Dave’s Hot Chicken, and it definitely did not disappoint! I had the Dave’s #2 with medium spice, which was absolutely perfect. I’ve never had a chicken sandwich this good—huge compliments to the chefs!

As a pickle fan, I really appreciated the extra pickles—such a great touch. If Dave’s were to expand to more countries in Europe, I have no doubt it would be a huge success.

The only downside was that the location felt a bit messy and unclean, but given that it was during rush hour and it's a fast-food spot, it wasn’t a big deal. Overall, a fantastic experience—highly recommended!“

“Chicken and french toast brunch is amazing“

“Delicious and juicy chicken at reasonable prices. You eat the chicken with your hands with gloves so I might not go there on a date, but it’s great with friends. It’s very small and there’s not many tables. Not sure if they take reservations.“

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

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

“you think your grandma is in the kitchen. you really won't believe hiw good all the food is.“

“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!! ❤️“

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

“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 😋“

“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!!!!!“

“My husband and I went to Forefeathers tonight for dinner, it was excellent. The chicken tenders were delicious, the pink dipping sauce was very good. The chicken sandwich that my husband had to amazing! Coleslaw was delicious, plenty of sauce and pickles. Fries were excellent….definitely will go back.“

“Loved their wings and appys“

“Absolutely fantastic!!! I was impressed from the first bite to the last. This restaurant earned a return visit when I'm close. Every dish features fresh elements and careful presentation. Staff handle requests quickly with a friendly attitude. I'm promoting this place to all my contacts.“

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

“Delicious food and friendly service. Top notch!“

“The spicy chicken biscuit omg toooooo die for so my husband and I saw many people entering this spot plus it was our first time. We heard mac and cheese, greens, and fried chicken. So we got a bucket of mixed chicken, two sides of Mac and cheese, and some collard greens (they make them with black eyed peas and tomatoes; totally different from any kind of greens I ever had and I definitely was left craving more. Nice little spot and such friendly people. Heading back very soon“

“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“

“Don’t know why I always disregarded this place because it was local. It’s absolutely so good. Better than Cane’s. The special side sauce is VERY similar if not the same, but the chicken is better. Will be returning to try their drinks!“

“Loved this place! Walked by it a million times and never went in, decided to try it out recently and was very pleased with this local restaurant. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich and fries which were both delicious and very generous portions. An added bonus was the friendly and welcoming service!“

“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 think I can honestly say, without hyperbole, that this was the best chicken sandwich I've ever had in my life. The only way I can describe the chicken sandwich is it was immaculate. The sandwich itself wasn't anything new or fancy or unique it was just the perfect example of something simple done perfectly. Good chicken with Juicy and tender the breading was crispy and well seasoned and so were the fries. 10/10 would highly recommend I'd eat this everyday if I could.“

“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.“

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

“Food tasted great. Service was excellent and quick despite the crowd.“

“Place was the bomb back when I went to Brooklyn Tech. Went off to college and now employed, but still return here for the quarter chicken, two ribs, side(the most okay stuff, rice n beans, mac, potatoes & salad are decent) and extra stopsauce!“

“Excelente servicio muy cómodo lo maximoo“

“This store is the one of the best Popeyes ever. The store is very neat and clean. And employees are very professional with their job. They always try to help you for your perfect order. Also I think I would like mention that the grils Halima she is very nice girl.and super professional. And i love popeyes Fried Chicken tender 😋😋😋“

“Chicken was delicious and facility clean“

“Overall I had a good experience. The Chinatown broccolini was the highlight for me — fresh, healthy ingredients with a nice kick, definitely something I’d come back for. The tenders themselves were hot and moist, made with prime cuts of chicken breast. I would have appreciated a bit more seasoning in the batter, but I can see how that might be intentional to let the sauces shine and appeal to different palates. I didn’t love the truffle mac and cheese — I personally prefer a sharper cheddar and egg-based style — but the portion sizes overall were satisfying. The staff was very friendly and polite, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting for a casual bite. Ordering at the kiosk was convenient, though I do wish there was a bathroom on-site. Not fully convinced about the value for price given a couple of these factors, but I’d still return, especially for that broccolini.“

“the food was delivered but for all the hot chicken places in town. i think daves is my new favorite good portions. good quality chicken pickles galore. fries just right you can order hot very hot and reaper and youll be crying into your food! bring wet naps“

“BEST CHICKEN I EVER HAD!!! And the fries were PERFECTLY crispy and seasoned! Nothing salty or greasy! This is worth every penny!! I can’t wait to come back and try everything else lol

Kid-friendliness: Beautiful fun atmosphere for kids“

“Great place! Delicious 😋 food“

“😃Great food, The chicken is delish“

“Chicken is good! Seasoned & flavorful! Fries good too! Mac & Cheese needs to go back to the basics.“

“Gave me the chicken leg I asked for. Went down right came out wrong. The next day the fries and biscuit came. My toilet was devastated.

Unrelated - they keep shorting me on sauce. You think i wouldn’t notice? You’re wrong for that. Sweet tea? Weaker than your employees lifting my chicken leg. 5 star service.“

“Delicious chicken and sides with recipes straight from Guatemala. You can get fried or grilled chicken. Your sides could be rice, beans, rolls, tortilla, etc. Food was quick and easy to dine with plenty of room inside the restaurant. The food will definitely get you craving for more and more.“

“I visited this bar for the 1st time. I tried the soy garlic fried chicken and scallion pancake. I also tried their lechee Sojo. I hope I spelled that correctly. The drink was delicious. The apple sojo was delicious as well. I didn't wake up with a hangover, and I drank a lot. I tried the karaoke, and that was so much fun. I would 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.“

“I mean, it’s Popeyes! Sweet people working a tough job without much support. The space is big but most people seem to get takeout. I really only get the chicken tenders- sometimes the combo and sometimes just tenders but I have had the fried chicken sandwich and it’s been fab.“

“My go-to location, something I always crave. They recently renovated their place not so long ago, and added an elevator, so yes, it's wheelchair assessable. Other than that, customer service is good, and it's a clean environment. I LOVE YOUU CHICK-FIL-A!!!“

“HOT HONEY THIGHS CLASSIC SANDWICH BASKET“

“This place is really good! The chicken is always cooked to perfection—juicy, flavorful, and just the right amount of spiced. The fries are crispy and delicious. On top of that, the staff is incredibly kind and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. Highly recommend stopping by!“

“Did an Uber eats search and found this spot with chicken & waffles I said I have to try it. Hot fresh Chicken Poppers and bite-sized Belgian Waffles topped with waffle sauce and then got some popcorn chicken and had to get a drink. Had a peach Joe tea. Was awesome. Highly recommend.“

“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“

“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 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 😍“

“The Food was absolutely delicious, the service was excellent the young man who took my order was patient and even helped with my order and gave me some recommendations on what to get, great pricing! Food alone was fresh and mesmerizing can’t wait to come back!“
