Chicken Holiday-Bridgewater - Chicken Wings Near Me - Bridgewater, New Jersey

I had a great experience for my first time. Just moved to town a few months ago so I've been on the hunt for great local spots. I ordered via telephone for pick up and order was ready in about 20-25mins. Don't expect homemade dipping sauces or anything like that. I believe prices and portions are fair; and the gentleman who helped me out was friendly and welcoming. We got the chicken cutlet, fish and chips, and popcorn shrimp. I'll be back to try other menu items. Unfortunately, no photos were taken! read more

The chicken is consistently good. I prefer their style over all the other options in the area.

Place is still open and operating as usual, great chicken. Great food and great service, call ahead or come in to have it cooked in front of you. read more

Chicken Holiday-Bridgewater - Still open - Chicken Wings Near Me - Bridgewater, New Jersey

My husband likes their chicken dinners with FFries and a bisquit or he gets the fish dinner. I like their BBQ spare ribs (rib snack) and potato skins. They are not greasy at all. Very good tasting and alot of them. You order and in 30 mins. you have your pick up meal. There is also a section in the restaurant if you want to eat in. We always get ours TO GO. read more

Our go to for chicken dinners. I had the snack size chicken fingers meal with coleslaw and small roll. Hit the spot with honey mustard sauce for dipping. Great taste. Husband gets the regular meal size. Been coming by for years. Order ahead for pick-up. read more

What you see is what you get - homestyle fried chicken is what I saw and I knew I wanted it. There are no frills, no flair, just good fried foods. Stepping in to the restaurant is like taking a step back in time with it's 90's decor; wallpaper and quirky chicken decorations on every wall. We opted for 10 chicken fingers and an order of onion rings and this was plenty for the two of us for this rainy, hungover, Sunday lunch. We barely waited 15 minutes even with the busy lunch rush for our order. This place is A-OK to me and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for an old fashioned, cardboard box filled with tasty chicken tenders. Don't forget the honey mustard! read more

See all

We ordered takeout. Great place, good quality food and the fried chicken skin is a little bit on the spicy side (pepper?) but very good. Definitely better than the chain restaurants and I would highly recommend trying it. read more

What a huge disappointment. I used to go to Chicken Holiday in Bayville NJ and it was the best ever. Three years since I sold that house and decided to try this one in Bridgewater since I was craving fried chicken. It took my husband 40 minutes there and back to get there. Never ever again. Nothing like the one I remembered. This was way, way salty, overcooked, dried out and just not good eats. The salty crust didn't even stick to the chicken. The coleslaw wasn't that good either. I will never go there again. Maybe they had a bad day but I will go to Kentucky Fried Chicken before I ever go back here again. read more

Well gourmet food it's not! But it's decent, reasonably priced fast food.The put it out reasonably quickly. For me this function strictly as a take out place. The chicken and fries were pretty good.The macaroni and cheese better than I expected. read more

Great chicken and fries! We love to order as a family and always good. Glad it is still in the area!

chicken was over cooked , the gravy on the mashed potatoes was too salty threw it all away over priced as well

Tried this place last night. Seemed busy with call ahead orders. Crew was attentive and friendly. Unfortunately my chicken wasn't very good. Either the oil being too hot, cooking it too long, or a combination of both led to my chicken tub being overcooked and dry. I'll try it again in a bit and see if they do better. read more

Good fried chicken. Less greasy and less salty than KFC. Reasonable prices. Local operator as opposed to huge chain.

Great fried chicken cooked to order. It is crispy and dinners come with good coleslaw and French fried

Food is great None of the employees wear masks while customers are in the facility and made me super uncomfy. We will avoid until the pandemic is over. read more

I have been coming here for 10 years. So far the best fried chicken in the area and the owner is very friendly. I hardly ever eat fried chicken but this is the place to go to if you are craving this type of food. Always fresh and tasty. read more

No complaints here whatsoever! Outstanding, delicious, very fresh, tasty, not the least bit salty or greasy, A+ quality, 4-piece fried chicken meal, with mashed potatoes, gravy, a dinner roll, and corn on the cob. Much better and healthier than KFC, Popeye's etc., and a lot less expensive, for much higher quality! Enthusiastically recommended to all. Thanks Dave! read more

I purchased 8pc chicken and fries. The chicken was so dark and dry. Cooked way to hard and seems as if they needed to change the cooking oil. I was looking forward to it but will never buy from here again. Don't sell what you can chew. Hard & Dry read more

Super friendly, food is SUPER good, prices are extremely reasonable, especially for the quality that you're getting. It was my first visit there today and got a bucket of jumbo shrimp. SO good! Will definitely be a regular. AND they're on Door Dash. I was pleasantly surprised =) read more

I was CRAVING fried chicken for months. Literally months. I googled and this place came up. I actually have to thank them. It was sub par enough it will be a long while before I crave this artery clogging meal again and it will certainly be had elsewhere. The people were really nice - the food just didn't taste good. The Mac & cheese had NO flavor - seriously boxed is better and the coleslaw was vinegary and limp. Bleck! My thighs thank you. Your chicken thighs do not. read more

Ordered dinner for 2. Freshly fried chicken, Cole slaw, mashed potatoes... As American as it can get. This place does it right, once you pick up a piece you can't put it down. A bit salty though. read more

They refuse to wear masks here so I'm done with this location forever. If they can't be bothered to follow proper COVID protocols, then I'm sure they aren't following proper food safety/handling protocols either. Yuck! I'll go elsewhere, even when the pandemic is over. I can't believe management is so stubborn and willing to lose business over this. read more

I have tried this location a number of times. The food is inconsistent. As of late it has had an odd, greasy taste. The final nail for me was the lack of use of gloves or masks. During the day there is a loosely veiled attempt to have a mask on but in the evening nothing exists. If you cut corners during Corona, in what other situations were they cut? read more

It is with tremendous disappointment that I write this review. After patronizing this store regularly since the 1980s, I witnessed something I just cannot let go. As I pulled up in front of the store today, about to get my order, I witnessed the manager (I dunno, he's there all the time, though) spray insecticide just below the front windows of the store, then go behind the counter without stopping to wash his hands. He put the container down, just feet from the food prep area. I asked, "Do you put that on the chicken?" to which he replied, "No, just regular maintenance." Too bewildered and saddened to do or say anything else, I completed the transaction. Figuring this has been going on for years without my knowledge, I enjoyed the delicious meal (maybe the pesticide explains the flavor?), but I will not patronize Chicken Holiday in Bridgewater ever again. I'm guessing this crap happens all over - I really do need to learn to cook. On the off chance the owner sees this... http://pestcontrol.about.com/od/pestcontrolsafety/a/Pesticide-Safety-Tips.htm read more

Chicken is good but Not following COVID regulations. Two guys behind the counter. Neither one was wearing a mask. (At All). Handling, cooking and packaging food. read more

I've never rated anything 5 stars before, but I'm making an exception this time. I did a Yelp search for fried chicken, and the results came up with everything from chinese food to my local bagel shop. This place should come out on top if your goal is good, fresh, hot fried chicken. Chicken Holiday is an old chain around these parts. It kind of went away for awhile, or maybe it was just hiding. I now know where three of them are. I think they are all similar. This is a basic take-out place, though they do have a half dozen tables. Basic decor, fluorescent lights, order counter, fridge with drinks, sports on tv. They have a pretty varied menu, but honestly I've never had anything but the chicken (and fries.) Good basic - crunchy on the outside - juicy on the inside - meaty good sized pieces - and you can tell which part of the bird they are - chicken. It's a mild coating, but delicious. Doesn't overpower the chicken like 11 herbs & spices or cajun fast food does. It's what they call pressure fried, which keeps the moisture from steaming off and leaves it drip down your chin juicy. Not greasy mind you. Juicy. Of course there's some grease involved. It's fried chicken. The also carry fries, mashed potatoes, potato salad, cole slaw, dinner rolls, chicken fingers, fish, ribs, sandwiches, and a bunch more. Read the menu for that. Its online. I can't vouch for that stuff, I haven't eaten it. But remember this place for fried chicken. It's like an escape to fried chicken heaven. It's a Chicken Holiday! (ha ha) read more

I rarely review, but I have been coming here for 20 years, I stop in every time we get our hair Don at hair movement down the road. The food is always fresh and jot, plus oat importantly consistent. Not flashy, just basic fried chicken, give it a shot. read more

There main food is amazing.....chicken, shrimp, flounder....all excellent. Their sides....not so much. I have tried them all and they are all just so so. Also if u want to eat their food order ahead of time. They make it fresh so it takes about 20 min from the time u order till the time ur food is ready. read more

Favorite decadent treat. Best fried chicken in CNJ by far. Dave the owner is a friendly conscientious fellow who keeps a clean store and great meal. read more

The chicken here was awesome- chicken holiday has the best batter around and it was fried perfectly. I had 2 issues: #1, the buffalo wings had the same fried chicken batter/flavor as the whole chicken pieces. I'm not saying it was bad, it just wasn't a buffalo wing. #2, the sauce on the ribs was not very good. Thick, sweet, and tasted like teriyaki. So, if you want awesome fried chicken, this place is here. If you want chicken and ribs or buffalo wings, keep looking. read more

NEVER RATING HERE AGAIN... 3 employees behind the counter speaking openly with each other, handing orders and touching debit/credit cards handed over were not wearing masks while cooking nor speaking to each other or customers. Super gross... blatantly disregarded health safety laws and general public concerns and courtesy for paying patrons. The older guy at the counter who is always there seemed to not care AT ALL, handling customer cards and prepping orders with the same gloves. Disgusted and concerned for general cleanliness if that is the customer facing actions during COVID-19. read more

Solid fried chicken at a no frills place. They don't even have boxes to put your food in when you get takeout - the chicken is sandwiched between two stapled-together plates that you have to make sure stays parallel on your drive home. The chicken is crispy and juicy, there's nothing special about it but the batter is crispy and hot. I wish it had a bit more spices on it, but I'll take what I can get. read more

Had chicken wings from here for the first time. The batter on the chicken was delicious....had a spice to it that was very flavorful. Am looking forward to trying more from this place! read more
