50 Best Chicken Restaurants near Rutherford

“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!“

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

“Dave’s Hot Chicken is a great place if you love spicy food. The Reaper hot burger is insanely hot but full of flavour and cooked perfectly. The chicken is juicy, crispy, and fresh every time. Portions are good and the taste really stands out. Not for the faint-hearted, but a must-try for anyone who enjoys serious heat and bold flavours.“

“Loved their wings and appys“

“Chicken and french toast brunch is amazing“

“Amazing elevated chicken. It's not just chicken, however. Oysters were superb. Salads (the scallion salad is an absolute delight) and all the sides are just superior. Little touches that seem whimsical but are just spot on - try the 24 carat nugget with caviar. Excellent star-studded champagne list; why not? Staff were just exceptional. Special shout out to the sommelier who came by and spent time even though we didn't buy a killer bottle of bubbly. We will return.“

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

“In todays economy, 15 bucks for half of a delicious roasted chicken, a side and a drink kind of feels like a steal. Fast and good service and very much appreciate the gloves they give you. The chicken is literally fall of the bone good. Highly recommend!“

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

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

“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!! ❤️“

“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“

“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 😋“

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

“Delicious food and friendly service. Top notch!“

“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!!!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“This particular location had very attentive employees. One in particular, Sammy, was very kind and communicative about my order status, letting me know they were making my food fresh so I didn't get something older/cold. Sammy made sure I had everything I needed and was very personable! A great morning experience!“

“Chick's deluxe sandwich is the GOAT chicken burger in NYC!
Great place to grab one, fast and welcoming staff. Guy Josh was specifically helpful! The man take the work responsibly and needs a raise 👏
Definitely, my first go to place for Chick-fil-A in a city“

“Very friendly staff and excellent food“

“Got this as takeout and was impressed. The chicken and corn were the stars of the show. One piece of feedback for the restaurant is that the salsa verde is labeled incorrectly on the menu. After trying the time I realized it’s not salsa verde, it’s Chimichurri.“

“Dave’s Hot Chicken is always on point. crispy, juicy, and full of flavor. The sliders are the best thing on the menu, hands down.

Shoutout to Pat for the great service. friendly, fast, and made the whole experience better.“

“Tada — Chinatown, NYC

Tada is an easygoing spot in Chinatown that does casual Korean comfort food with a clean, modern touch. The room is simple and relaxed, making it a comfortable choice for an unfussy meal that still feels thoughtfully put together.

The food is straightforward and well executed. The HSBC Army Stew stands out as the most satisfying dish—rich, spicy, and comforting, with enough depth and portion to truly anchor the meal. It’s the kind of dish you come back craving.

The fried chicken, which Tada is best known for, delivers as expected. Crisp, well-seasoned, and juicy, it’s done with confidence and is an easy crowd-pleaser.

Portions across the menu lean modest, and at this price point, a few more side dishes or something like a steamed egg or soft tofu would make the meal feel more complete. Still, for casual dining, Tada gets the fundamentals right: good flavors, reliable execution, and a laid-back atmosphere that works well for a low-key Chinatown stop.“

“Pretty solid spot overall. I came in expecting just standard fast food, but the fried chicken actually surprised me — crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and well seasoned. The peach mango pie was easily the highlight for me, definitely worth getting.

Service was quick and the staff were friendly, even though the place was pretty busy. The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is because a couple of items felt a bit too sweet for my taste and the wait time during peak hours can get a little long.

Still, I’d definitely come back when I’m in the area. Great comfort food and a nice change from the usual fast food options.“

“Went to the opening of Sheffield store was nice and clean food was excellent staff were friendly especially Matty ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Excelente servicio muy cómodo lo maximoo“

“Been going there for the past 30 years“

“😃Great food, The chicken is delish“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“we just stopped by the Wake Forest location! London was our cashier, and she was so friendly!!! she was smiling as soon as we walked in! Will definitely come back!“

“I had a question why the payment on the app didn't have a cash option. and they went above and beyond to allow me to pay cash. Khuram and Bhumika were working and went above and behind to allow me to pay cash. Getting my order perfect. It was also during a snow storm so I give them credit for caring. When most people in food industry dont.“

“The amostsphere pretty fair and different. I didn't enjoy the cheese. The chicken sandwich was excellent very mild.

I came for a second time and Julie was phenomenal and professional. She made the experience worth while again. Keep up the good work.“

“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.“

“Found this recommended as a hidden gem, and I'm glad we added it to our itinerary! We went during happy hour and we were very pleased with the quality and the quantity of food for the price. We got the half and half wings and they were delicious! They were a hearty size compared to most places that serve wings anymore. I plan to return the next time I'm in the city!“

“Honestly the chicken was better than expected and i loved their pick up window where i was able to easily walk up to pick up my togo. It's a small spot so if you work nearby just grab and go. Price is a real bargain ad well. But man the food is HEAVY! I was hungry but only could eat half the chicken on mac n cheese. Next time imma try fries io mac and cheese. My first time and it was very memorable.“

“The roasted chicken bowl was tasty, the rice had a good flavor too. The chili lime fries had a wonderful flavor and were nice and crunchy.“

“Chicken was delicious and facility clean“

“We need Jollibee here to build in Showlow Az“

“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.“

“Stumbled upon Bird and Box by accident and was so thrilled to see it was Seed Oil free! This chicken was probably some of the best we have ever had. So fresh and crisp and the service was amazing from the guy that made the chicken to the woman that prepared the boxes it was a great experience. Will definitely be back!“

“My family and I tried some Jolibee fried chicken this weekend, and we all agreed it was delicious! The dark meat was succulent and tender, the breading was perfect, not hard or wasn't heavy, and the flavor with or without gravy was sooo tasty! We'll definitely go back for chicken and to try other items!“

“Went in and immediately was greeted by the staff with a warm welcome. Talked to a man named prestige who help me gauge spice levels and what I should get based of my presences. got the Nashville hot and the Korean bbq with fries . needless to say this food was incredible , and the service was the same if not better. If you're around don't hesitate to stop by!!!“

“‎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.“

“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!“

“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’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.“
