Fried Chicken dinner
Heather H.

Walking in it smells so good. We got the fried chicken 4 piece dinner. Took a few minutes to cook but worth the wait. We ate inside where they have pizza shop type tables and bathrooms. Bathrooms super clean. Food was really good. I'm looking forward to trying other offerings like chicken fingers or wings.

The guy at counter has been working at chicken holiday since he was a teen they were very friendly and quick. He wrapped up the leftovers for me. It was so fresh and really hot chicken, fries and corn nuggets. Really good

Rib and chicken Chicken and Rib Combo and Fish and Chips Dinner
Alexis ..

Great place with friendly and welcoming staff. They wrapped my leftovers for me. Food was really good for my first time being there. Hot and fresh too. The ribs were extremely good and so were the fish and chips. Place was clean and felt like a family owned food spot.

This is one of the cleanest restaurants I have been to in a long time

We were driving from NYC back to Virginia and decided to check this place out due to the Yelp reviews. We have had some hot or miss experiences lately. This was most definitely a HIT. We had fried chicken, a few pieces of fish, a few shrimp. The chicken and shrimp were great! Well cooked, nice portion size and a great flavor. The fish was a bit thin, but still had a great flavor. The owner was a great guy! We had a nice dinner conversation and left stuffed. If this were in our stomping grounds we around be regulars!!

24 piece fried chicken
Leena S.

Chicken Holiday offers great fried chicken. We recently ordered the family pack, which was 24 pieces of chicken, Family Size French Fries, 2lb of macaroni salad, and rolls. The chicken was a solid fried chicken offering, all 7 (5 adults and 2 kids) of us devoured it. The French fries were a bit soggy, perhaps they ended up that way in transit, since this was a to-go order. None of us were fans of the Macaroni Salad; it just had too much mayo. If you are looking for the comfort food of fried chicken and want to support a local business, the chicken here will not disappoint.

Chicken Caesar salad, and mozzarella sticks

We catered from this place and ordered a ton of food to feed a group of 25 adolescents! The people who helped us with our order, were extremely nice and helpful, and even offered some discounts for ordering in bulk. The kids really enjoyed the food.

Chicken n ribs dinner yum..cheating...all good and well deserved.
Tara M.

This is comfort food. Not greasy and crunchy, moist delicious chicken..let's not forget their fish n chips, bbq ribs, fried shrimp. Chicken wings. Now as a Jersey girl never really seen one of these outside of Jersey. So I'm guessing it's our comfort food. I was craving crunchy fried chicken and mashed with lots of gravy. This location has an extensive menu, albeit mostly fried. But chicken holiday is no ordinary chicken place..why? U ask..they dont deep fry, so no grease. You do get many dinner options for family and friends. Like "buckets" 8 piece, 16, 24 plus some come with ribs or fried shrimp and theirs even a fish n chip bucket. Guys behind counter are friendly and courteous. This place does helluva take out orders. So call ahead or just walk in but be prepared to wait bc if u come in after a take out order you're gonna wait awhile for your food. But so worth it in the long run. They also have sandwiches if that's your thing and those darn fried clam strips..lol This chicken is even awesome cold..seriously. So if your flying down rt. 130 and need some comfort food sneak on in . Worth a check in or two.

Fried perfectly!

Our drinks (pear-licious martini and appletini) were good but filled so full that there was spillage on the bottom of the glass when they were served. I had the goat cheese poppers which were delicious, as was the apple salad that accompanied them. I also had a side - apples Brussels sprouts, butternut squash & celery root - a fabulous combination that I thoroughly enjoyed. The others in my party had a burger (too well done but ok) and rare seared tuna (yummy) with the same veggie side. For dessert, we tried 3: warm chocolate chip cookies (very good), baklava (ok), and espresso creme brûlée (good). We had espresso and coffee as well - which were both accompanied by biscotti which went home for a morning snack. Our reservation was 7p on a Thursday near Christmas. The place was packed with lots of larger parties and what appeared to be a holiday party. So it was LOUD and hard to hear each other speak. As the crowd thinned out, it got much better.

The omelette was a bit dry, and it wasn't really my favorite. The sausage was nice and snappy though. One of my friends got the eggs Benedict which she thought was alright. Desserts were shared around the table: carrot cake, cannolis and blueberry pie. The taste was a bit artificial and each dessert was very dry. Despite having a large party, the dessert was not finished. I like how there's plenty of parking in the back. I believe this diner has been open for quite some time. I'm not sure if it's bc when we came here it was a holiday weekend and it was super busy, but everything to me just was a bit subpar.

The food here is insanely fresh as was our daily interpretation involving copious use of root vegetables. In a Woodstock mood, I went for a mushroom motif inclusive of a mushroom onion soup and mushroom infused homemade cavatelli. You won't get points for atmosphere as the location is main street central and directly across from an Irish pub that is still serving the same slab of corned beef that they first boiled in 1991. If you're a foodie or even a fraudie, 12 Farms offers infinite pleasures and is richly deserving of a resounding five stars. Speaking of rich bring lots of cash as plastic is not accepted.

The soup sampling consisted of three very tiny cups that were sort of like an espresso size cup. The salad was a very small portion. They said that the portion sizes were not smaller because of the $65 price fix option. If you ordered the salads à la carte they arranged from $19-$22 I believe. Had I did the à la cart and received that portion for that much money I would be disappointed to say the least; my wife and I often share a salad before entrées and generally speaking they are big enough to share but their portion wasn't enough for me alone. Presentation was beautiful and service was great, as well as the ambience, and we have been there several times. We are raying a 3 because of the positives, but I did consider making it a 2. I hope the restaurant takes note and addresses the piints I made. Note that the entrée portions were good.

There is all your usual stuff that you'd expect to find at any diner. From your sandwiches, omelettes, crepes, typical deserts such as cake and pie, to just about anything else you'd expect to find on a menu for a diner. The service was overall fine but nothing super special but it still is a decent diner to go to for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is better to go around dinner time because then they give you complimentary garlic knots which are delicious. And the televisions they have around the diner are also nice to watch too so you don't feel bored. The only major criticisms I have is that there are times when there are tables that are still very dirty rather its from dirty dishes or too much dust lying around the diner. Another criticism is that the deserts maybe dry from sitting in the fridge too long which is disappointing because they look delicious. The final criticism is that it can be noisy too inside when its always busy. But that is expected as that happens anywhere. In the end, its a solid diner to go to. But it's not the best diner out there as there are plenty other better options for food and to hang out.

The service was also overall fine too as they tend to listen and respond soon you need help with something. The complaints I have are the pastries may look good, but they tend to be very dry which is never fun. Eating a dry muffin or anything is just not delicious to eat. Also the place does tend to feel a bit dirty and dusty in areas most likely due to the staff forgetting to clean certain areas. But that is expected when it comes to most places.
