Absolutely iconic. Full stop. Those who eat KFC, never had Bojangles. Those who eat Popeyes, settle for the next best thing. KFC sits right across the street looking as deserted as the mall. So fortunate to have had the only Bojangles outside of the south for so many years. The biscuits are next level compared to what's served at other chains. First, they are full-sized, crisp-pockety exterior, flaky inside w/ a buttery finish. Maybe the only fast food item in history that you swear is homemade. Chicken has good amount of breading, spicer as you get closer to the bone, but not as spicy as it used to be as regular vs. spicy option got morphed into one. It's flavorful, moist, & brings some heat on certain unexpected bites. The sides: it has always been about the dirty rice- that's their signature. Golden colored rice w/ crumbled sausage, bell peppers, & cajun seasoning. The rest are mere subs for those who don't like rice, tho at times I appreciate the nearly potato wedges they call fries. Sweet tea is steeped in-store, not pre-bottled. I know people who roll up just to buy jugs of that. No longer have Bo in my backyard, which makes it all the more special when I do have opportunity to get it. Love the giant yellow box that announces, It's Bo Time! I show up at home with it, cheers happen! read more

Bo-Berry Biscuits are MY FAVVVVV. So I was surprised to see Bojangles in Pennsylvania and I had to stop for some biscuits. My son got some chicken and he said it was good. The biscuits were nice and hot! Yummm my only criticism is that the restaurant should get a little upgrade, it's a little outdated read more

Bojangles - Bo-Berry Biscuits - Fast Food Near Me - Reading, Pennsylvania

Had no idea there were any Bojangles in PA! Was poking around in Reading today & did a quick search for nearby food....& up pops Bo's. My Daughter had never been to any, so challenge accepted! We each tried their (spicy) chicken sandwiches - quite good (as are the biscuits). We also finished up with cinnamon biscuits which were superb. Place was slammed, so it took a few minutes to get our orders ..staff seemed to be doing their best to keep up. As for atmosphere - due to the amount of people dining, it was quite loud...but on this Saturday night - this was the place to be! Recommended! read more

Wait, what!? This Bojangles doesn't have the ALL WHITE option!? You're kidding, right!? Anyway, I took a ride up to Reading, PA recently to check out a truck for sale and stopped at Bo's for some yardbird afterwards since I knew there was one there. (Come on, Bojangles, WTF? Open one in Delaware already, FFS!) To my chagrin, the ALL WHITE option is apparently not available here, or maybe they just didn't understand what I was asking for... I ended up getting a regular ass 2 piece meal with the 2 sides and biscuit as well as a carryout 8 piece chicken box which includes 4 biscuits. And everybody knows the BISCUITS are the stars of Bo's. Not great. Not terrible. Service and cleanliness were average. The other customers were somewhat sketchy even for me... The food was typical top notch Bojangles though, and the 8 piece box lasted me 4 additional meals. read more

Place was disgusting! They took forever to process my order. The woman taking my order kept talking about the customers to me.

Bojangles - Fast Food Near Me - Reading, Pennsylvania

Forget Chic-Fil-A, this is the best fast food chicken chain. It's my guilty pleasure and there's only one location in all of a Pennsylvania, so you know the almost hour long drive out of the way is worth it. Even though the Reading location is a older and a bit dated, not to mention always packed with a long drive through wait, I've always had a good experience here. The staff is friendly and quick, and my order has never been wrong. Their biscuits are perfect and their signature Mountain Dew flavor (Southern Shock) is quite tasty. Hey Bojangles headquarters, can you please open some locations closer to Philly? I guarantee it would be successful here. read more

Man, was I spoiled. When I was young, it wasn't often my family ate fast food for dinner (since my mom was such a great cook and pretty much demanded my sister and I eat healthy growing up). But on the rare occasion my mom didn't feel like cooking - between raising two kids, working, and going to school - it was understandable; she would simply ask my dad to pick something up on the way home from work. That something was often Bojangles fried chicken. You see, when you are junk-food repressed as I was growing up, any opportunity to eat something fried with no discernible nutritional value was this small yet memorable blip on the radar of my childhood. Yes, I have fast-food related nostalgia. But doesn't everyone? Surely someone reading this can remember the warm fuzzy feelings they had eating at the Wendy's Super-Bar back in the early to mid 90s. Alas, that story will have to wait for another day. When I was little, I figured Bojangles was a nationwide chain a la KFC. Then I started noticing people from the west coast had never even heard of Bojangles. WHAT?! After doing a little research, I found out a few things. DID YOU KNOW? This Bojangles location is the only one in Pennsylvania. It's also the northernmost location in the U.S. It's also the easternmost location. There is a whole part of this country that is not aware of Bojangles' existence. Well, rest of the country, let me tell you what you're missing - SOME OF TH BEST DAMN FRIED CHICKEN YOU'LL EVER EAT! I mean, it's crispy, it's tender, it's got that secret blend of southern spices. When I walk into a Bojangles, I feel like Ray Kroc when he first walked into McDonald's - in absolute awe, watching intently, knowing full well these stores are well oiled machines, effortlessly churning out buckets of impeccably fried chicken. Oh, and let's just talk about the sides for a second. Yeah, they have the usual biscuits, coleslaw, mac & cheese, green beats, and even grits ... but the real star of the slideshow of side shows? The DIRTY RICE. It's so disappointing when competing fried chicken joints don't serve this up. Dirty rice is the quintessential southern fixin'. Hell, its origins stem from the Creole regions of southern Louisiana. Sure, Popeye's just moved in down the road, but Bojangles will always have a special place in my heart. read more

I don't usually write a review for a fast food place, but we spent 25 years in the Carolinas and Good Old Bo was a favorite. We live in Lancaster PA now, so this Bo was 35 mins away and we decided to treat ourselves on a drizzly Saturday afternoon. This place is immaculately clean, rest rooms are spotless. Manager is incredible, his attention to detail, how long food has been sitting, everything is very focused on quality and customer appreciation. When we mentioned we came all the way from Lancaster he gave my wife a free cookie and some other stuff. What a great man! Staff was very nice and polite. So great to see someone "doing it right" 5 Star experience. read more

Nice spot. 1) I got the 3 piece chicken with fries and dirty rice. All tasted great and spiced well. 2) The dirty rice is some of the best fast food rice. Much better than Popeyes. 3) The biscuit was good, but make sure to add grape jelly or honey to make it way better. read more

I must admit the chicken is always very good BUT WHAT IS WITH THE FRENCH FRIES? they were half cooked no seasoning most were actually raw. I didn't understand. However, friends have said that the french fries haven't been good lately. Please manager(s) of the N. 5th St., Highway facility make sure your employees do right by the customers. It doesn't matter if you're eating in, take out or drive-through all the food should be equally good. Bojangles used to have the best french fries. Mistakes like this need to be fixed immediately. I hope by the time you read this post that the mistake has already been rectified. read more

I'm not the type to write reviews but I felt that this establishment deserved one. Total wait time in the drive thru was 90 minutes. But the worst part of it all is that we waited at the drive thru window itself for 45 MINUTES. And I could see the high school kids they call employees literally talking doing absolutely nothing. Not one order was prepared or served for 45 minutes. When I asked after all this time where my food was, I was told they were waiting on the chicken sandwiches. My order consisted of 2 chicken sandwiches and 2 orders of fries. That's it... When we tried to angrily eat our food after all this time, my PREGNANT girlfriend then finds a piece of plastic in her sandwich. To add, our sandwiches were cold nearly frozen.. this was honestly the worst food experience ever on top of the absolute worst customer service ever. I drove back to address this issue and get my money back and the "manager" (pretty sure she wasn't a manager) was useless. Gave me a refund and as I drove off I realized I was a dollar short. Thank you bojangles. Fuck off forever... Don't waste your time read more

Bojangles - Fast Food Near Me - Reading, Pennsylvania

"Next time you go to PA, ya gotta go to Bojangles!", said my coworker to me...about a million times. So finally I went! And I found out what I've been missing this whole time: sodium-induced hypertension. I'm not sure how to rate this place. I'm not a big fan of fast food fried chicken, so I'm trying to be fair. Bojangles is like a poor man's Popeyes. Half of the menu items are hit with a heavy dose of Cajun seasoning (and salt!). My chicken pieces were kinda small in comparison to my giant, fluffy (and salty!) biscuit. Bojangles is not going to change my mind about fast food fried chicken, but people really seem to like it. The logo and decor are reminiscent of a 70's Las Vegas casino cafeteria, minus the sound of slot machines. The order counter/wall was really weird. I felt like I was placing my order through the rampart of a castle. The customer service was very good, very much unlike a typical Popeyes. An issue with my order was quickly and pleasantly resolved. Kudos to the staff! Should you eat at Bojangles? Ehh, you could do much worse. * nods at gas station fried chicken * read more

First time here. I was craving a breakfast sandwich in the middle of the day and this place definitely fit the bill. I got a sausage egg and cheese biscuit and tater-tot/mini hash browns; I think they're called "Bo-tatos" This was an actual, real egg. Not a "rethermalized" egg like you would get at Dunkin' donuts which was likely cooked by a robot a thousand miles away. The biscuit part was great The eggs were perfect. If I could change anything I would have made the sausage just a tad more spicier but that's just a personal preference. This all took a few minutes to prepare so just chill out because its freshness is worth the time. Service was good and the restaurant was clean. read more

I might be biased... but I grew up eating here. It was the best place to eat chicken and fries, I still think it is. I'm super happy they renovated inside, it was about time! The service varies, but I noticed it's usually when they slow down. I think fast food will always be like that. The best time to come is during lunch hours and dinner. The drive thru also got renovated which is great. The workers here are always so nice when taking orders. I recommend the classic fried chicken with fries. The biscuit is always so good. I also love the boberry biscuits! Highly recommend, my gem in fast food dining read more

I accept that mistakes happen but at this point it seems intentional.

The food is excellent, but there doesn't seem to be any interest in training employees on basic order protocols. The people in front of me stood there for fifteen minutes without a word being said to them. They spoke up and their order was taken. I was left standing there for another 10 minutes before I walked out. When I told a big group behind me that just walked in what was going on, all 20 of them walked out. That's 1 store. I will never go back to the Bojangles in Villa Rica again. They could care less if you get anything and are rude, loud and obnoxious. I don't trust them to handle my food. read more

One fine day, friends and I stumbled into the only Bojangle's in Pennsylvania. I found their 1970's-era countrified interior to be very Twilight Zone, the perfect lunch setting. It was around 1:30 pm, and still a bit crowded. A retiree/cashier took my credit card, took my order, and returned with chicken moments later. Per the cashier's recommendation, I volunteered to be a test subject for their creamy cole slaw: not only did the slaw taste like the opposite of boiled babies, I'm still alive to write about it. Anyway, I used a spork to attack the crispy breading of my southern-style, Cajun-spiced chicken leg, exposing the slightly greasy underworld beneath. The meat came right off the bone, no rending required. My fried chicken smelled like fried chicken, but tasted like crack cocaine. Yum! Greasy chicken, buttery biscuits, and diabetes-inducing iced tea are some of the worst things you can possibly eat. But when their powers are combined, you get Bojangle's, and you stop caring. read more

Fried chicken at it's best but it depends on when you stop by for your meal. If you stop in after two you get the dregs of dry chicken. But if you come by during dinner or lunch you are in for a fantastic chicken feast. When I do show up here at the right times the chicken is crunchy, juicy, and oh so good. The biscuits are soft and moist as well as the sides. As for the restaurant itself it has been around for decades and basically looks the part. That is why I suggest drive thru, its easy, fast and you are on your way to chicken goodness. The thing about Bojangles is that its only in the north area, they don't exist in Texas so I always make sure to stop by when I visit. Now if there was one near me I would probably go every week and gain 100lbs but it would be worth it. read more

Went with hubs to get dinner, after taking one look at all 5 girls behind the line with no masks on and long glamor nails I would have left at 70 mph but hubby was like nooooooo! Everyone behind the window (5) girls had a mask but no one was wearing it properly. It was under their chin, so what is the damn purpose? Very disappointed that they are not taking this pandemic seriously enough to enforce and ensure that we are Safe. What if they cough, sneeze or laugh over our food. Droplets can spread. I really have to reconsider eating out because I made it through quarantine and I am not about to let some 20 year old send me to the hospital. read more

Bojangles is an experience unto itself, this location is the only one in the state of PA, and the only one reasonably nearby (If you can call 90 miles that) to where i live. Ive made a couple of trips here, once for dinner, and another for brunch, and so far Bojangles has refused to disappoint. My most recent trip was taking a look at the breakfast biscuits on offer which are fairly cheap at about $2 a pop, i tried the current limited ham biscuit which was superb. The ham's flavor was extremely powerful closer to an ultra thick bacon than a typical ham slice, and the biscuit was fantastic as well, moist on the inside, the slightest crisp on the out, even texture, and beautiful buttermilk flavor, biscuits at bo's wont disappoint you, ever. The sausage biscuit i tried was also fairly good but didn't have that same flavor punch as the ham, the sausage was quite good and i enjoyed the thorough spiciness, its just the biscuit out savory'd the sausage. You know a place has decent food when the biggest problem you see is certain items outshining others. The real show stopper however were the Bo-tato rounds, i went into my order of them with relatively low expectations, and wound up absolutely floored. First off these things are huge, and you get 10 of them with a "picnic" size order. Secondly im pretty sure these are made in house, the rounds weren't uniform, and the potato was just too fresh. If i didn't know better id say they're made in house, and have a teensy bit of onion in them for that extra flavor, either way i absolutely loved these bo-tato rounds. The last time i went i grabbed some of the boneless tenders, tried some sides, and while i ordered sweet tea both visits, i figure its only fair to talk about it while over viewing my first experience. There are two types of chicken tenders here, i cant remember which version i had but they were fantastic, juicy meat and crisp breading, none of that dried out chicken nonsense other places have going on, these tenders are as moist as rotisserie chicken on the inside. On the sides...side of things the dirty rice, was absolutely fantastic. I'm not personally the biggest fan of rice but it was so smooth and buttery, and the little chucks of meat (Pretty sure it was some form of sausage) were to die for. Mac here was quite decent, not life changing but very rich, cant quite keep up with some of the home made or house baked macs I've had, but its definitely the best mac and cheese I've seen at fast food location, and beats out a lot of diners and restaurants as well. The Tea here has some consistency issues, but is always fantastic throughout, a nice home brewed sweet tea made at location and bottled daily as far as i can tell, amount of sugar in use does vary slightly day-by day, and there is always the off chance your half gallon may be from the bottom of the pot and have some actual tea leaf bits, but this stuff is fantastic throughout, even on the lighter batches, and as far as i'm concerned the tea leaves just make it healthier. I'm absolutely enamored with Bojangles, i just wish it were a whole lot closer to me down in Philadelphia.

What's way better than KFC and better than Popeyes? It's Bojangles. I Stopped by here on a recent trip to Dorney Park and was very happy to find some delicious southern style spicy fried chicken.

We haven't visited Bojangles in a very long time and we wanted to compare Bojangles vs KFC vs Popeyes today. We ordered a 3 PC Dinner, all chicken thighs (that's cool that they allow you to choose which pieces you want IF you request it), french fries, mash potatoes & gravy, and a large soda. The first issue was that 90% of the tables there were filthy and dirty. The next issue was that the fried chicken was VERY oily. The fried batter quickly separated from the chicken and the taste was just mediocre. I liked their fries way better than Popeyes and just slightly better than KFC. Their mash potatoes & gravy was much better than Popeyes, but slightly worse than KFC. Their fried chicken was worse than both Popeyes and KFC, mostly due to the extreme oiliness and underwhelming flavor. My parents are long-time HUGE fans of Bojangles, but during a recent visit they told me that their fried chicken tastes different now and is not as good (flavorful) as before. I agree that the fried chicken wasn't that great. In conclusion, the sides (particularly the fries) were better than the chicken and that's just sad for a place that primarily serves fried chicken. We'll visit again in 10 years from now to see if anything has changed. read more

Chicken was inedible. Very dissapointed. Too heavily coated. The costing was rock hard. Very little meat on the bones.

Very good chicken. Painfully slow service. This is the cheap owner understaffing. Could probably double their revenue if they staffed correctly. I always think twice before going because of this. Plan on 10-20 minute wait in line on a slow day. Easily 20-30 during a rush. Ruins what ever good chicken the may have. Again staff is moving, poor ownership is the blame. read more
