Fried Chicken or refried It's been along time since I bought chicken in this store, this is one of our favorite because the taste reminds like home recipe in our country. But today i was in the area of dumont like I used to do i order for To Go, and i was excited to eat for early dinner but i was disappointed when i got home and open the box. It doesn't look fresh fried chicken it looks refried. Wasting of money read more

Chicken Delight - Fried chicken or refried - Chicken Shop Near Me - Dumont, New Jersey

I have been ordering from here for years, I have to say we really like it, but this will be the last time I order from them, each time I order it goes up in price, last time I ordered it was $30, today was $39, I called as usual they were nasty, she said she looked and it's been the same no, sorry, charge)4 for delivery, usually free, tax, charge for using a card, then tip it's not his fault, fries were hard as a rock, and I looked not 1 word about any other charges! Never again! I'm sick I spent that much on tenders and small hard fries, My advice to them stop being so selfish for money and Be Nice! especially on the phone, they didn't even apologize, or say thank you for being a good customer, or offer anything! Don't go in there it's filthy and falling apart! read more

This place is a staple in Dumont!! The chicken, fries and coleslaw are always good! Some of the best fried chicken around

We ordered 2 wing and 2 breast, corn fritters, mash potatoes, and corn on the cob. Everything was delicious. The chicken was cooked perfectly, it was crisp and juicy. The corn fritters were sweet and yummy, same for the corn on the cob. read more

Ordered just fried chicken thighs and legs. The chicken was as good as previous years. Thin coating, lightly crispy, juicy. Other reviewers mentioned refried chicken which ours was not. Ours was fresh. We ordered on a Friday night. read more

Unfortunately this place has went downhill over the years. A lot of the items on the menu are rather subpar. Do yourself a favor and don't get anything other than chicken if you must. The portions are smaller and everything is more expensive. What is absolutely the worst is how they don't even operate the hours they advertise! Their menu, sign, and online says they're open until 8:00 pm and numerous times by 7:15 everything was locked up and closed! One Saturday they even opened an hour later than advertised. If you can, just make the drive to Chicken Galore in Fair Lawn for the far superior chicken and service. read more

DO NOT EAT AT THIS PLACE!!! this place is a scam and gives you the nastiest most bland food imaginable, just look at the "cheese hotdog" they are selling, the macaroni and cheese literally has no cheese and taste like the macaroni pasta, the chicken is greasy and unseasoned, I ordered cheese fries and got store bought fries in a bag with no cheese nothing, stay away you can cook better than this "restaurant" read more

Chicken Delight - a hot dog with cheese and mustard - Chicken Shop Near Me - Dumont, New Jersey

"Don't cook tonight, call chicken delight" is a genius jingle , but food doesn't jingle. Just your average bland chicken that took a dive into the oil abyss. Bucket of fries tasted like bucket of lard sticks. Gotta respect the hustle though. The owners are sweet and kind. read more

The wife and I passed by and said "fried chicken? Mmm kay why not" I believe Chicken Delight is a franchise of sorts as I've seen others around. That being said I knew everything they served is pre frozen pre made stuff ready for the fryer. The chicken is pretty good as its loaded w sodium. The wings are good but super small. The mash potatoes and gravy you should pass on. Although every thing is pre made, this by far tastes the most fake. The gravy is even worse. Stick with the french fries. Hey once in a blue when you don't want to cook and prefer to indulge in some cheap fried chicken, why not. read more

Did not get a call or a ring on the door bell! I stumbled on the the order on the way to the mailbox. WTF. I no longer leave tips on the app. If they want a tip then read the comments. Ring the doorbell and the tip is waiting for you. People have become ungrateful and I'm not saying all but the after affects of the pandemic has made the them believe they are entitled. Bull read more

This place needs to update there hours, I ordered food for delivery got it at 7:56 called at 7:58 to let them know half the order was missing and no one answers. I have been ordering here for all my life, google says they are open and yelp does too. They need to get up with the times and make sure your hours are accurate and at-least open until 9 on a Saturday. read more

Sometimes, in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, a hankering for good ol' fried chicken arises and it needs to be appeased. The big fried chicken chains were too far for pickup so I went local, Chicken Delight. Ordered the Chicken Delight Dinner and the 12pc Chicken Platter at 743pm for pickup. Barely made it too because when it was time to pay, I asked the gentleman behind the counter what time the location closed and he said 8pm. Looked at my watch and it was 7:59pm Couldn't thank the guy enough for taking my order because, in all seriousness, he could've chosen not to pick up the call but he did. And now I have fried chicken for dinner and leftovers the next few days. Thank goodness for Chicken Delight! Support small and local businesses! read more

Had this ordered for lunch for work. We ordered family style. I just don't get the hype. It tasted like nothing had seasoning. The shoestring fries were cold and some were frozen. The chicken was good. So that's why I rated the three stars read more

Solid fried chicken and really good Cajun French fries. The order arrived much earlier than expected. The price was reasonable. I don't indulge in this sort of food often, but this will be a go to place when I do. read more

Ordered a 50 wing special and they allowed me to substitute the fries for corn nuggets. Ok so for the good: wings had great flavor, corn nuggets were delicious and with the coupon its just 28.99 for the 50 wings and fries . The bad: great thing that it was only 28.99 for the 50 wings because the wings were laughably ridiculously tiny. Like ive never seen such a small wing in my life. But very tasty. Lol. I will post a pic of the wing with a nickel as size reference. Yes a nickel. For now only 3 stars. read more

Effective July 1st there was a price increase. I ordered the L6 lunch special (full rack of ribs and small mac and cheese) and corn nuggets. The corn nuggets were smaller than I anticipated. Creamy center with whole kernels of corn. First few bites didn't have much corn flavor but it has subtle sweetness to it. Mac and cheese was pleasantly good. Not dry at all like most places. It was, dare I say, overly cheesy? No such thing. The ribs were surprisingly good. I don't often think of ribs when I think of chicken delight but it had really good flavor and was tender. I ate it for lunch at the office with plastic utensils so you know it was tender. Wasn't overly saucy because I didn't think it needed it and all in all, really good. read more

Hands down best fried chicken in the area. Chicken is freshly fried to order. It's crispy, juicy and is seasoned just right. I'm literally thinking right now about the next time I should come by read more

Craving fried chicken so decided to order from this place based on other's good reviews. Food was so-so. We ordered fried chicken, mashed potato, jalapeño poppers, mac & cheese and baked beans. I would give 2.5 stars if that's available but since it's not, I'll give 3 stars. Unfortunately, all of them were just meh and pretty bland. Pretty bummed about it because we're on the hunt for good food in the area. Sadly, we won't go back. read more

Take out chicken and ribs. Ordered family special 1. The chicken was cooked perfectly and was flavorful. The fries were good including the macaroni salad it came with. Would order from here again. read more

WOW! WOW! WOW! Does that adequately convey my enthusiasm for Chicken Delight? First of all, lets be honest about expectations. This review is for a cheap storefront operation, where you can satisfy your need for a fried chicken fix. The help was gregarious, they got my order correct, my dinner was fresh and hot, and the place was cleanish, if a little time worn. It is not a Michelin starred restaurant... If you go here expecting ambience, witty repartee', and an extensive wine cellar, you're F'n delusional!!! That said, this particular location (HIdden in the strip mall at the circle where Knickerbocker Road, and Madison Ave. intersect.) has been serving up fresh, hot, fried chicken for 50 years give or take. THAT'S 50 YEARS PEOPLE!!! I know, because as a kid, my Dad would occasionally pick up a bucket with fries on a Friday night. I'd be salivating as soon as that ethereal aroma started to tug at my olfactories. How many other places do you know around here still serving it up after a half century? Now I haven't stopped in here since maybe the 90's, possibly even the 80's, but decided I'm getting me some fried chicken for dinner, and you know what? In this world of food disappointments, and "NEW IMPROVED RECIPES" (always changed for the worse), Chicken Delight tastes exactly the same as I remember!!! Crispy, Juicy, Hot, and not oversalted like the big boy competitors KFC or Popeye's. The Snozberries taste like Snozberries, and the Chicken tastes like Chicken!!! Also, they've got old school Crinkle Cut French Fries, not the ones with the stay - crisp coating, which to me are inedible. What I ordered: A four piece meal, basically half a cut up chicken (not sure if it was a mistake, but I discovered a 5th piece, an extra wing hiding under my fries) a dinner roll (Yea just a soft little old dinner roll, not a biscuit) and the above mentioned, crinkle cut fries. $6.95 An order of ribs - just nice babybacks, (oddly enough served with two packets of Chinese Duck Sauce, as opposed to BBQ) that were pull apart tender, moist, and with just enough char. (These are not long - smoked BBQ ribs, OK? So don't order expecting those.) In the old days, their ribs were the big St. Louis Cut Spare Ribs, served separated, not as a rack. These were actually tastier. $10.95 for something a little smaller than a full rack. The bottom line - Want to experience fried chicken as I did 45 or more years ago? Want your Chicken Fried to order? (If a walk in like me, expect to wait 10 to 15 minutes.) Are you constantly going back to KFC or Popeye's because it's easy, even if you think it doesn't taste as good as it used to, and you keep hoping that will somehow change? Well then, get yourself over to the Cresskill/Dumont Circle, and experience some deep - fried euphoria of your own!!! BTW - if you drive around the circle to Madison Ave. heading West, the first driveway on your right, will take you right to parking for the place. Don't Cook Tonight! Call Chicken Delight! read more

This place has been around Bergen county near the Madison Ave circle forever. We passed it all the time and decided to give it a try last week. We were pleasantly surprised and understood their longevity. The fried chickens were tasty, the fries were good and the onion rings were perfect. We saw another customer ordered over $60 worth of chicken wings - and that will be our next time ordering from this restaurant. read more

Tasteless chicken. Tasteless French fries. I went back to ask for salt and the young man behind the counter only gave me two, I had to ask for more, he adds only two more, until I said I needed a handful for that entire platter of unseasoned chicken and French fries I regretfully ordered. Don't eat here unless you enjoy the taste of food marinated in nothing but palm oil. read more

You really have to look at this place with low expectations. It has the look of a small, inner-city food place and it's not exactly trying to look flattering. But it's hard to complain when the prices are so low. $6 gets you 3 enormous pieces of chicken and a whole mess of fries, which are absolutely delicious. So in that regard, it does its job as comfort food. The meals are a great deal, as you can get a combination of a wing, thigh, leg, and breast with fries. The chicken is not seasoned, so it's basically just breaded chicken thrown into a fryer. At the very least, it's always crispy and hot. read more

It may look like a small ordinary chicken place, but past those doors you will taste amazing, crispy, juicy fried chicken. The chicken was fried perfect and the skin was so crispy and tasty and the meat was very tender and juicy. The French fries were very good as well. I would eat this again in the future 100%. read more

Their name fits them well; the chicken here is very good and prepared in front of you. I tried one of their specials, don't remember what it was named, but it included two pieces of fried chicken and fries and both were really nice. read more

We tried this place for the first time. WOW, nice big juicy pieces of chicken. We got the family meal, #1, 8 pieces, cole slaw, bread, and a ton of fries. My son got the ribs meal. Everything was fantastic!! And a great price. read more

This place is delish! Chicken is always fresh. I ordered a few pieces for Thanksgiving the day of and they were accommodating. I will def go back, when I am in the mood for fried chicken. read more

This is the restaurant to get your desires for chicken wings, fried chicken, ribs and french fries fulfilled. The food is hot and fresh, and the staff has always been friendly. The chicken wings are fried and served with blue cheese and a hot sauce on the side. (Save the hot sauce as a dipping sauce for your fries.) The chicken is good and the ribs are tasty. (They are not perfectly smoked ribs, but still good. As another reviewer pointed out, they are served with duck sauce, though it is not needed.) Not a full five star because nothing is perfect, but this comes close. read more

The food tastes good and it's good comfort food no doubt. But they literally get the food out of the cooler and fry it. But they do it fast and they deliver. So that's a plus. read more

Way to greasy!! And not really much taste. I was hoping it would be a much better experience but was sadly disappointed

This place is CRACK, if you want some good fried chicken you come here. The pieces are ridiculously big, crisp, and juicy; I always eat here with a friend as tradition when we are home on break from college, and they chicken is always consistently fresh and never dry. I'm used to getting their family special #1, which comes with fries (HOT DAMN they're good), breadrolls (they're tasty but nothing too special), and choice of side (I recommend the macaroni salad). Also, if you don't get their hot sauce on the side, you're really missing out on some SUPA HOT FIYAH read more

For take out chicken and ribs, this place is great! This is not a sit down place but I recommend the hot wings, tenders, ribs, Mac & cheese and fries. read more

Looks like a hole in the wall but they have one of the best hot wings (the small crispy kind) and ribs around, not to mention their Mac and cheese. read more

Bring me back to old memories. The chicken was crispy and so good. The French fries was the best. And the fried shrimp was excellent.

I was very hopeful for Chicken Delight as it has gotten some nice reviews and is much closer than KFC or Popeyes for us. While it is nice that they fry the chicken to order versus having it served under a heat lamp as per the other places, the chicken was no more moist or fresh tasting than the others, and the batter had absolutely no flavor or seasoning to it whatsoever. It just tasted like chicken that was lightly dredged in unseasoned breadcrumbs and fried. And the chicken tenders we got for the kids were similarly bland as well as tough, dry, and chewy, and neither of the kids liked them nearly as much as KFC or Popeyes -- nor did I or my wife. The fries were similarly unremarkable and unsatisfying, and the bbq sauce they provided for the chicken was clearly the garden variety supermarket bottled sauce (I'm thinking Bullseye) that did absolutely nothing to help the situation. Very disappointed given the other alternatives available and will not be going back despite having to travel further and maybe even pay a little more for other options. Too bad. read more
