    the inside of a restaurant

    "Underneath a street lamp, I met a southern belle Oh she took me to the river, where she cast her spell And in that southern moonlight, she sang this song so well If you'll be my Dixie chicken I'll be your Tennessee lamb And we can walk together down in Dixieland" (Dixie Chicken - Little Feat) They sure do make some fine chicken here, even if we're well north of Dixie. Welcome to Chicken Joe's, with three locations in southern CT and three more between Albany and the northern NYC suburbs. The first time I had Chicken Joe's was a few years ago. A whole bunch of us were taking the train from New Haven to NYC, and a buddy jumped on the train down in Greenwich to join us. He was toting a big bag of Chicken Joe nuggets which none of us had ever heard of before, and we were all duly impressed with how awesome they were. Joe sells his nuggets a few different ways- alone by the pound, or in combos with a side and a drink. The combo names are a hoot - Baby Special (1/4 lb nuggets), High School Special (1/2 lb nuggets), Bad Boy Special (3/4 lb nuggets) and Godfather (1 lb nuggets). I bought some nuggets for a trip down to Stamford where half a dozen of us were congregating to watch a football game. I went with three Godfather Specials - one with fries ($12.50), one with onion rings ($14.50), and one with cones ($14.50). What's a cone? I've seen it described as a fried potato gnocchi or a fried mini scoop of mashed potatoes. But my wife was right on the money when she said it tasted like a mini potato knish. The combos also came with a can of soda and a whole slew of dipping sauces. Everyone loved the food, really..... it was great. The nuggets are cut by hand and made on site. No frozen nuggets out of a bag here. The chicken was moist and juicy and the coating was crisp and yummy. Joe sells a lot more than nuggets -salads and wings and pizza, fried chicken and seafood plates, hot and cold grinders and wraps, plus breakfasts. It's quite the cool little place, and the food quality, reasonable pricing and good values gives you an idea why Joe has been around as long as he has.

    A friend recommended we visit the original Chicken Joe's and I wasn't disappointed. We went during a crowded time, but the service was quick and efficient, they make sure to keep the line moving. I got the godfather and didn't regret it. The chicken is sooo good. I recommend adding cheese and chili to your order!

    This place is a local favorite that serves up greasy goodness. The big thing here is the "High School Special" in varying sizes-essentially chicken nuggets/strips and fries. But for a small charge (I think $1) you can upgrade to cones which are basically deepfried gnocchi. Crispy in the outside, pillowy-soft on the inside, these things are some special potatoes! The chicken itself was unremarkable and dry however. Basically a watered down version of Garden Catering, these guys copied a fair amount of GC's style (and were in fact sued for it). If you need a grease fix, you could do worse, though.

    Incompetently run. Average at best food. This is a garbage spot. Go to garden catering, Chicken Joe's is bootleg trash.

    This location gets extremely busy around noon and the staff is ill-equipped to handle the spike in…read morecustomer volume. We've lost count of how many times we were kept waiting for extended periods even though we placed our mobile orders ahead of time. Today was no exception after placing another mobile order. We arrived after the designated pickup time only to find that an item was either missing or incorrect AGAIN. By mentioning our issue to employees, I would expect them to check on the status and prioritize our order ahead of those arriving after us; but unfortunately they don't and continue down the tunnel vision path of preparing orders while ignoring missed orders. As we waited for our food, we watched a stream of customers come, place their orders, get their food and leave before us. After 40 minutes and numerous attempts to get employees' attention, we're basically the last ones left to get our missing sandwich. This place consistently falls short every time we visit at noon. We've vowed never to visit this place again at noon.

(a limited intro,reasonable price) .. a very Fresh Roll and the inside Italian ingredients of grilled onions, peppers provolone and cold cuts covered in a delicious relish cannot be missed.. But the added plus is the Beautiful Young Woman who greets you with the loveliest reception every time you pick up your JM Sub..she may not remember you but she SO SINCERELY acts like she does..!!!..She's a Keeper that will out do us all..!!! Terrific Future ahead
