Always a pleasure to come here I love this place so bad I go to sleep dreaming about the chicken and wake up thinking about it too. The chicken here is so fresh and crunchy not to mention you can ask them for a little bit of lemon pepper seasoning to throw your wings right over the top where you need it I love this place. The food is amazing. Service is even better and the ambience is very welcoming although it's a takeout place. It's In-N-Out. read more

This place is amazing the best Crack chicken ever. The need to open up in Clifton Totowa or Paterson. KRISPY CHICKEN has nothing on them. Ambassador has great prices. read more

Love the food and service. Great dudes running this place. I always get wings here. You will not be disappointed.

Love the chicken from here, but order online because they can be packed and the wait can be long. I am not a huge fan of fried chicken wings but theirs is always too delicious to resist. The fried fish is also too good to be true. A must try. read more

My order isn't correct. The menu shows family pack #67 is 20 pieces of chicken and 10 pieces of fish - there's no fish. I ordered 2 sweet potato cheesecake slices and I only have 1. There's no garlic Parmesan sauce. And the soda is wrong . All of the food is cold, there's no way this was prepared today. I am so disappointed read more

The chicken here at this spot is so delicious!! Nice and crispy and addictive.. I love ambassadors chicken.. I pre-ordered and when I arrive my order was ready.. The chicken is always cooked fresh.. It's best to preorder as you'll have to wait if you don't because it's a small place and always pack..Highly recommend this location.. Wast Orange in Dood street is good too!! read more

Out of alllll the Ambassador's this location is my favorite !! Chicken wings always crispy and fresh!! I don't rock with ambassador Mac n cheese it was horrible but to be expected !! Lol read more

FIVE STARS at first bite...and maybe even the second or third bite, but a few more bites in on those wings, I could start to taste the grease. By the time I finished the first wing, I 'felt' the grease. Still good to the mouth, so I ate three wings. On that third wing, I started to fell ill. Not food-poisoning-ill, more like damn-I-just-ate-some-pure-trans-fat-crap-ill. That greasy, scratchy feeling stayed in my chest all night and in my throat till the next day. Great prices, vast menu, but no thank you. read more

Like everyone has already said... this place is the palace of fried chicken... well it is.. And this place has expanded to include two additional locations... scary ass Clinton ave.. and Springfield Ave right outside of my hometown (Maplewood,NJ)... Im reviewing the Springfield Ave and Clinton Ave.. so there is not much difference in any of this delicious chicken locations - its about surroundings... So South Orange Ave although the original may be a hell no purely from long wait times... everyone is in love with these chicken and its in the heart of the ghetto- which means its a crazy wait for fried chicken. Clinton Ave can be better as far as wait times.. but damn then you have all the crazies around the location... better parking less wait times great chicken.. but crazies.. Ambassador is amazing for fried fish, shrimp and chicken.. and the fires... whoh.. they are perfection.. Of course I have never had the rice option.. but I think its ok.. I mean my coworker ate it.. lol read more

Total waste of money. The wings are so small it's like they came of pigeons. It was not crispy at all. The breading was soggy with no taste. It's like they just reheated some already fried wings and threw some Buffalo sauce on them. Horrible!!! This side of Jersey really needs some wings and food options. It's sad! read more

Sooooo this is my go to place for chicken I absolutely love "LOVED" Ambassadors Chicken HOWEVER !!! I don't know who is responsible for seasoning the chicken over there but either he needs to come back to work and season that chicken like he use to or find someone else to do it I was craving some chicken yesterday went to ambassadors (ON SOUTH ORANGE AVE.) and that chicken was plain, unseasoned and hard as heck I was super disappointed 12/14/18: Thanks Mounia for your reply I ordered just the chicken wings which I and my family absolutely love and the guy in the back I saw him when he took some already fried chicken and dip it back in the fryer to make them hot but all that did was not only make them hot but made them hard as heck, please bring back the original guys who season and make the chicken fresh despite the few min wait time I'd prefer waiting however long I need to for the great chicken that I'm use to I will be revisiting Ambassadors tomorrow as I'm ordering a large pan for a anxiously waiting party looking forward to the tasty chicken I always show up with I will be paying close attention and looking forward to what I'm use to read more

This was the first chicken spot that I was referred to when I moved to New Jersey. In my mind I was like whatever their chicken is not the bomb is not that good as everyone is saying. And people would tell me that you just can't have one and everyone that told me about this restaurant was like, Tiffany you have to get them crack wings. So I'm like let me go check this spot out and see what all the hype is about and I got like eight wings and some side dishes to go along with it when I tell you I ate them 8 wings and kept looking in my box to see if I had anymore. Lol I was like damn maybe I should I got a bigger box of wings instead of a couple. because I literally ate one after the other and did not even realize I had ate all 8 and was pissed when I did. But they were Delicious! Like yumm. What I really like about this restaurant is not only the menu and a variety of food they have they also do catering. and because the food is so good when I do host training in New Jersey I'm going to take advantage of their catering menu and order a bunch of crack wings. read more

I was very disappointed after watching the video, stating that this was the best fried chicken in Newark. The chicken wings were bland, no seasoning at all. The fish was just as bland as the chicken. Stop/Shop fried chicken wings, has more seasoning than " Ambassadors ". I will give a pass on the shrimp, it was seasoned. Maybe, I will try one of their other locations. read more

I order a family pack 20 Wings, 15 fish, 2 sides of rice & 2 sides of Mac & cheese. Everything was horrible but the chicken. Fish had no taste at all, sides tasted like it came from a box. It wasn't worth it at all. If you do choose to order from here watch your surroundings, order your food and get out. read more

Every time I order I get 25 wings or more the catfish is the bomb I eat both by it self no sides it's just delicious I enjoy they chicken every time I get it never had a issue. read more

Love soul food! .................. keep it coming, don't stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'nnnnnnnnnnnnnn. read more

I love me some chicken wangs! So while in Newark, my wife and I heard about the Ambassador Fish & Wings spot on South Orange Avenue form a friend of hers who swears by them having the best wings in town. So, we drop in on them before we left Newark. It reminds me of a Chinese takeout place. The location there in is not ethically pleasing to the eye but I enjoy places like this. It unexpected and most good foods come from areas and places that people find seedy. So, for those of you who want wings that are not greasy, overly salty and crunchy enough for you to sink your teeth into, then this is the spot. Just don't forget to bring cash. Believe you me, once you have one, you will want another. Their just like Lays potato chips. Can't wait to go back for more WANGS!!!!! read more

visited this establishment based on reviews and to my surprise I was not disappointed. The wings and shrimp were delish!! The fish was good too but in my opinion needed a bit more spice. The other reviews pertaining to location and surroundings were unfortunately accurate as well. Although it's nestled next to a McDonald's and rite aid, this is a kind of place where you should stand in lit areas at all times. Other than that based on food this place is a definite MUST TRY! read more

I love their chicken. I live I Florida but my family knows first stop. Ambassadors!!!!

So yeah... the chicken at this place is crazy addictive. Also it doesn't really seem to matter if you call ahead for an order though I do it anyway. If you do call ahead I'd say give it about 15 mins and you'll prob sit there another 10 mins depending on how busy they are. Also like Tuesday nights are slow read more

Okay. ....so the location is lousy and intimidating ; located in the heart of the ghetto (South Orange Ave ), keep your guard up, but the wings and fish is delicious. I think it's the batter. I placed a large order for a family gathering last January and the guest are still talking bout those chicken wings. read more

For me this is just ok. The chicken had good texture and was made fresh. However, to be honest, I personally felt like it lacked a lot of flavor. Although I was not blown away, I would try it again. I mist say that it must be a favorite for many, because it was very crowed at 8:30pm in the night. The neighbors is not the best and made me feel a little nervous, but I guess every neighborhood has it sketchy area. read more

First mistake was ordering online as the order was wrong. Second mistake was ordering from here period. It was my first time and truly will be my last. read more

Best chicken wings in town the only chicken I get. Whenever I'm in the mood never had to wait know more than 5 minutes.

I ordered thru Uber eats. My order was messed up and they stated it was not with them, it was with Uber eats. I called to get help and the staff acted as if I was bothering them. I have used Ubereats many times and the restaurants own up to their mistakes. He even told me to come pick it up no problem. IF I HAD A WAY TO GET THERE I WOULD NOT USE A DELIVERY SERVICE. PAY ATTENTION TO DETAILS. read more

I had some friends coming over and decided to get some wings got us to munch on. They were solid. Fried crispy and well seasoned. I ordered ahead then just picked up. Everything went smoothly. read more

Today was National Chicken Wing Day so the office told me to find the best wings in Newark. I found 2 spots. This place was the first spot. If you're looking for Buffalo wings don't go there because they don't sell them. They sell fried wings with hot sauce on the side. Some young dude was at the register and everything I asked for was like me asking for a favor, it's not called a favor it's called doing your job. It's just a chicken spot, there's one on every other block. What should have clued me into this being a bad spot is right on the bottom of their website "Pictures are used only for Advertising" do not expect anything you buy there to look anything like whats on their website. The second spot was Hells Kitchen by the Rock and they definitely have the best wings in Newark. read more

Chicken is mediocre. Hate that they don't accept debit *i never carry cash *. Staff is pretty rude

The fried chicken is addictive!!! Finally a place that seasons their chicken. Great to buy in bulk for parties. They were a hit at my recent event. I have to try the rest of the menu. read more

So, I finally stopped by the infamous Ambassador's to see what the hype is all about regarding their so-called "crack chicken" lol... and it's only because I happened to be in the area, usually I'm not therefore out of sight, out of mind. Nevertheless, I ordered a 5 piece chicken wings and french fries to go with it. I want to give it all 4 stars, but I honestly was not too impressed. Don't get me wrong, everything was good. But just decently good, as it should be for just fried chicken wings and fries. First impressions are everything, right? Well, I was disappointed when I saw how small the wings are. They were like mini wings, but they were yummy. The fries were a tad bit overcooked but ketchup brought them back to life. Overall, I don't think it was worth almost $7.00 but it was good. I would most likely go back, but I am definitely not in a rush. There are plenty of other places with better fried chicken, like Amin's on Chancellor Ave, who can do no wrong in my eyes. 3 starts well deserved! read more

Crack chicken as it is called in the neighborhood is great. Bring cash come during the day and watch your surroundings . Despite all that it is some of the best chicken you can get. read more

Staff is friendly. Food comes out quick. Chicken gets better after it has cooled a bit and the seasoning has settled.. this place is strictly takeout. No seats or tables and anyway it's not in the best area so best get your chicken and keep it moving! read more

Rude and nasty ppl. Will never get another dollar out of me. I traveled far to support but never again. Quality and customer service dropped drastically read more
