The food is, as always, outstanding. Made fresh as you order it.. staff is not so friendly. Ignoring people they know are waiting to have their order taken. It was unfortunate, that mine was taken by a new employee. First she didn't charge enough, then charged too much, and not one of the tenured employees, came to help her. It was obvious that this new girl, had no idea how to count back money. When she asked for help, because there wasn't enough money in the drawer, no one double checked what she was or had done. I'll take the loss, but not sure if I'll be going back anytime soon... read more

I like their chicken gizzard and liver! The fried chicken is good with right amount of breading and not over powering. The price is reasonable and affordable. It's right in the neighborhood. Polite and friendly staff. Ambiance - The place could use some upgrade. Just a to go place with no dine in tables. Plenty of parking space. Another hidden GEM. read more

This time we got the empanadas; a buffalo chicken and a shepherds pie that came with a side of ranch and gravy for dipping I definitely liked the buffalo chicken the best! The gravy was warm and very savory. As always, I recommend the chicken chunks. They are so good and crispy. read more

I just love this place. I was in the mood for chicken soup so I decided to do takeout. I have to say they make a very good homemade chicken soup with dumplings. Tons of chicken that's always tender and I just love the dumplings very tasty. Service is always friendly as soon as you walk in that's all you smell is fried chicken. The food is awesome. Great place to stop when you're not in the mood to cook. read more

Great chicken but I've never visited. But my coworkers and friends grab lunch often it good and crispy.

If it wasn't due to my in laws who are local send me out to get food from here.... I wouldn't think to stop at this hole in the wall. You could wail at drive by this little spot but the inside is bubbling of the fryers. Prices are decent so worth supporting local. We got the fried chicken which was tasty. Also enjoyed fries (I like their thick crinkle cut) & coleslaw (standard). I never pass up pickle fries and was surprised to see they were full on spears deep fried! Tasty. Overall we ordered and got the hot food rather quick. Like I said... if it wasn't thanks to locals I don't think that upon first impressions I would have ordered here. read more

Greer's Chicken - Fried Chicken - Chicken Wings Near Me - Bristol, Connecticut

Plenty of CT restaurants serve very good bone-in fried chicken, but I've only been to one noteworthy CT restaurant where bone-in fried chicken is a particular focus -- Greer's Chicken in Bristol. Greer's is a longtime Bristol institution, and outsiders in the know make the trip to the takeout and outside picnic table only shack. In addition to tasty bone-in, Greer's has "chicken chunks", nuggets, fries and other fried sides, Mac N Cheese, Mashed Potaoes, and classic cookout sides like coleslaw, potato salad, and macaroni salad. All the sides (mashed potatoes, Mac N Cheese, coleslaw, and Macaroni salad) we tried were a cut or two above the normal. Over the course of two days, I tried a breast, thigh and drumstick. All high quality chicken. The breading has a minimalist vibe. I'm cool with that style. I could use a touch more seasoning, but I'm a fan of Greer's chicken. I like the chunks even more. Air fryers now make enjoying Greer's possible for a wider range of people. I live about 30 minutes from Greer's, but I air-fried the chicken pieces for 5 minutes at 360 and it was right on. I also put some Mac and Mashed Potatoes in a small oval Pyrex and air-fried them with the chicken. The sides were perfect after this re-heating. While I was waiting for my order, a woman came in and ordered THREE chicken pot pie's. I asked her why 3. She told me because "they're that good. And one is for a bribe." There you have it. A woman I don't know thinks Greer's has bribe-worthy chicken pot pies. 4.5 Stars read more

I have been eating Geers chicken for over 18 years, The last month I bought it and it was fair, not great. To night I purchased a 12 piece, The chicken tasted old and dried out. My first piece was a wing and it tased like burnt oil. The rest of the chicken was very dry and had no flavor, Boarder line inedible, We ate three pieces of the 12 piece's and threw it out. It was so dry you could not swallow it. I don't know if their oil is hot or burnt and if they are buying lower quality products, But I know one thing I will not be going back, It was a waste of $50.00 for the dinner. I thought about calling them, but I doubt it would have done anything but gotten me more aggravated. read more

Th chicken here is great. I'm never disappointed. Fresh tasty and pretty fast. The chicken chunks are the go to for everyone. My whole family agrees on Greers. read more

I just purchased a mashed potato bowl which used to be my favorite. This one tasted like pesticides and the chicken was old. I am scared that I might get sick. Something was going on in there because when I picked up my order it wasn't ready even though I was there 15 minutes later than the time they told me to pick up the food plus when I got there the girl in the front yelled at the kitchen "Hey...that order of the mashed you guys been talking about, is it ready?"...I wonder what they were talking about? Shoot! Did that roach spray get into the mashed potatoes?...I wonder if that was the talking they were having in the kitchen because I for sure tasted something weird! They used to be great but very disappointed. I tried calling them to let them know but their phone is not working so I am letting them know here. read more

Really wanted to love this fried chicken since we were craving broasterant but they were closed. Initial reaction, I'm confused because it seems like a residential area but there's a fried chicken place? Heck yeah. Anyway, we initially ordered the chicken bites and a couple of wings to try it out before we ordered a bunch. It was ok. Not so much seasoning but the fry was solid. The cornbread I wish was warmed up. It was very thin and small but it was $0.85 so I guess it's ok. The potato salad was also good. Overall, they need to add more seasoning to the chicken. Still hunting for great fried chicken in the hartford county. ++ Staff was friendly. read more

When you go against the grain, hopefully you have a good explanation as to why and for Greer's, let me see if I can break this one down properly. Upfront, the customer service here is amazing. Both women behind the counter were nothing short of amazing. This is definitely a small shack like establishment and you have some parking but not a lot. Do not expect to dine inside here for they do not have much space for any indoor tables. I will start with their chicken chunks which are basically made fresh to order vs you ordering tenders, which are frozen. The Chicken chunks were tasty and thick little pieces of chicken (think poppers) but larger in size. A nice crunch to the bite with very little seasoning here and so I dipped mine into their housemade honey mustard. It was tangy and creamy, a nice dipping addition here. The Crinkle Cut Fries were salted up just right and the more I ate, the crispier the fries became as I sunk deeper into the fry box. A taste of French fry Bliss indeed. We were on a roll so far but then we arrive at the Macaroni & Cheese...... The cheese sauce seemed curdled and didn't have the best overall flavor to it. My spiral elbows were harder than normal for me and so this Mac and Cheese did not pack a powerful bite nor was it friendly. It seemed as if I took bites of despair with this one. If loneliness had a taste, this would be it. Which brings us to their cornbread. Dense and thick for this small piece and so you will instantly need something to drink for it will truly absorb all of the space in your throat and FAST!! Slight butter taste but I am not sure as to the cornmeal used on this one, just wasn't doing it for me. Now for our MAIN...The chicken itself. It's rare that I come across extremely light chicken. Almost as if it was fried with the first round of flour, taken out and floured up again for a quick blanch fry. Don't look to taste any seasoning here for again, lightly salted and its flavor was lack luster in sight of many other chicken spots. We fell short on this one for me but everyone has different tastes and so, you may love it. read more

This place is so cute, and so good! It's located on the cusp of a residential area in Bristol, and I would recommend calling in your order ahead of time. The inside has enough room for a line of customers to order and pick up, and the rest is devoted to cooking. There are picnic tables outside, but most people seem to pay and go. (Then your car smells like delicious chicken) The corn bread is moist with a honey layer on top, and the mac and cheese is downright velvety. However, the star is their fried chicken. They come in bites and bones, and the bone-in chicken I personally think is the best. Even the breast, which so many places dry out, is perfectly coated and flavored throughout the meat. read more

First time I've been here in over a year. Absolutely disgusting! - Chicken chunks were dried out, almost like they were fried and then refried. The coating was extra thick and didn't taste like fresh chicken like it used too. - Southern fried chicken, again, dried out - overcooked. - My fault for asking for extra mayo... holy hell, they definitely gave extra mayo on my chicken sandwich. I couldn't even taste anything but the mayo - not edible. - Wings were dried out - and the Buffalo sauce tasted weird! - Positive side, fries were OK WASTED $80... read more

If you're looking for a place to get your chicken fix, look no further than Greers Chicken! Their tangy mustard chicken chunks are the stuff of legends. I swear, it's like they're marinated in gold or something. I can never get enough of that sauce, so I always make sure to buy extra on the side. And the fries? Let's just say they're so fresh out of the fryer, they're practically still sizzling. But the real star of the show here is the friendly staff and lightning-fast service. It's like they know I'm on a tight schedule and they're determined to get me my chicken fix as quickly as possible. Plus, you can support your local businesses and get a better meal at the same time! Do yourself a favor and head down to Greers Chicken today. Your taste buds (and your wallet) will thank you! *stick to the tangy mustard chicken chunks & you can't go wrong. read more

3.5 stars Locals rave. Fry badder coating is perfect. Light and not greasy at all. Extra .5 star for super friendly staff! Sadly though... Chicken is dry. This is my 2nd visit and I hoped the last dry ck experience was a fluke. Sadly, no. You can really tell in the ck breast pic I took. Ck Chunks were also dry. I went crazy and ordered mozz sticks knowing they were frozen but sadly the cheese inside was like a cream cheese schmear... hard to explain. No stars deducted because mozz sticks aren't what they r known for. Glad they have a local following. Wishing them continued success- just not my preference for fried ck read more

Don't let looks fool you - may not look like much on the outside, but it is FANTASTIC!! We ordered family style for 5 of us, a few pints of chunked chicken, veggie macaroni salad, coleslaw & potato salad sides. Chicken was tender & very juicy!! The potato salad is to die for!! The tangy veggie Mac pasta salad was unique & yummy!! Coleslaw is more tangy than sweet - very good!! We got an assortment of their sauces - Chipotle Mayo, BBQ, & honey mustard were very good! The ranch was ok. Their chicken & sides were soooo yummy!!!! Prices reasonable. Definitely A+ 10/10 recommend!! read more

I had their chicken chunks and fried pickles from their food truck. The food was mediocre, taste was rather dull. Their sauce tasted good. I used the sauce to mask the taste of the oil. The chicken was tender and crispy. It just lacked any real character or flavor. The fried pickles looked like stringy pieces of pickles, most of which the crust fell off. Overall, subpar food; not terrible, not good. I wouldn't try again. The meal was $16, it's not worth it. The women running the truck all seemed nice and friendly. read more

Been coming here the past year and The fried chicken sandwiches with the harvest bakery rolls are very good !!

The staff are friendly and the food is good. Their fried food is not greasy. I would like to see them make a renovation to the place. Perhaps closing the inside to customers and serving from a walk-up window. It's tight in there, and moving customers outside would give the staff more room to work from and would probably lead to faster service. This is a bristol staple. If you know, you know and you go. read more

While during Covid, this place struggled and the food did as well... but now it's back to being amazing and our favorite spot for chicken. Need to plan, because they close at 7, so can't just pop by after a busy day. Great picnic area if you want to eat there. Homemade ingredients. Mashed potatoes and gravy are a must! The chicken chunks are fabulous, but you can't go wrong with anything on the menu, like the seafood or fried chicken! read more

When in Rome do as the Roman do. That's my story with Greer's. One of my close friends loves this place so when we visit them and head to Lake Compounce or Imagine Nation we stop at Greer's. FYI: I have been to Greer's about 4 or 5 times. We stopped on Saturday. This was the first time it's been good weather and we utilized their only eating area, outside! There are about 3 picnic tables under a some trees. For a sunny, hot day we were in the shade. Also, there is a little babbling brook that runs right along the eating area and behind the chicken shack. This allowed for a bit of fun with the kids crossing the brook, stone throwing and rock jumping. I usually have the chicken bites but there were some chicken wings sitting out. I felt like a whole new world was about to open up for me at Greer's! I tried the honey BBQ and it was alright. I can say fresh and meaty, but next time I will stick without a flavor. The chicken chunks are always consistent- crunchy! Their fries, standard. I can say Greer's gets major points for bringing it back old school McDonald's style and serves honey as a sauce! Also, owner is really involved. This is the second time we have met him and on both occasions he is engaging and thankful for your business. (The staff this time seamed unhappy to be working!) read more

I had a road trip to Bristol and was hungry at lunch..so I did a yelp search. Turns out I went somewhere else for lunch, but saw the reviews and ordered a chicken pot pie with mash potatoes and gravy for twenty-one dollars to bring home for a no cook evening. So glad I did! Best chicken pot pie ever!! Perfect crust, delishes chicken with the right amount of peas and carrots. My wife LOVED it and the mash and gravy hit thr spot. Did have to add a little seasoning, but that is a personal thing. My wife put in an order of 4 more next time I go through Bristol to have them in the freezer! read more

It was never good after going there for a dozen years. Some people seem to like it, especially the chicken kidneys, but I'll pass.

Fried chicken is one of the greatest things to ever be created. It's crunchy, it's juicy, it's full of delicious flavour, and of course it's really unhealthy....but that's besides the point. Spending some of my childhood in Bristol meant that Greer's Chicken was bound to be on the table sometimes. This small what I presume is a family run business offers fried chicken, fried chicken chunks, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, and a ton of other things I never took the time to try because fried chicken is my food lover. It's been roughly 4 1/2-5 years since my last visit to Greer's (I live in Buffalo, NY now) and when I heard a large portion of food was being delivered to my parents house via a friend, I became overwhelmed with nostalgia and joy. I was able to indulge in both the full fried chicken and the chicken chunks and both of them were absolutely amazing. I don't know what these guys do, but they do it better then almost anyone else ever ever ordered fried chicken from. This stuff is as juicy and flavourful as you could possibly want and the prices aren't bad too match it. Overall, Greer's is the undisputed fried chicken king of the state of Connecticut. If you want fresh and delicious fried chicken, then you better come to Bristol and treat those taste buds! read more

When did this place become terrible? I grew up in Bristol & Greers was always a staple for my family. I ordered recently for dinner - chicken chunks (plain and buffalo), a few pieces of fried chicken, fries, onion rings, a roll and cornbread and a slice of cake. The person that took my phone order was friendly but whoever I dealt with inside wasn't very friendly. The chicken chunks were dry & tasted as if they were either reheated or sitting. The fried chicken was incredibly dry & bland along with the piece that I had tasted off (hoping I don't get sick!) The fries and onion rings were standard, the cornbread was decent and the roll was a Harvest Bakery roll so with that you can't go wrong. The slice of cake which was $6.50 for a slice (WOW!) somehow seemed like a mix of cake and cheesecake, the bottom seemed to be a chocolate graham crust with mousse and a very dry cake on top. Overall incredibly disappointed as this is not the same Greers I had grown up on. Will not return... you can get better fried chicken at KFC or Popeyes. read more

This spot is super popular with the locals. Situated on a semi-residential block with homes directly across the street, stands a quaint little shack that resembles one of Adam Richman's pre-game food stops before starting his Man Vs. Food challenge on the Travel Channel. As we walked into Greer's, we were greeted very happily by this young guy behind the counter who energetically asked us if this was our first visit, we both responded with a resounding, 'Yes'. 'Young guy', then proceeds to give us a rundown of some of the items off of the menu board and includes that all items are fried to order...you can't get any fresher than that. Listed on the menu are other non-chicken items such as cole slaw, plus potato and macaroni salads. But, we stayed the course and only ordered the fried chicken of which we chose the 8 piece assortment as well as an order of their fried chicken chunks. The chunks came in a pretty large, Chinese food takeout container, that looked to be either 26oz or 32oz, pretty large indeed. Accompanied with all orders comes a choice of two dipping sauces, any additional sauce will cost a mere .50 cents. We both acknowledged that it was a good thing we came early, as additional customers started to trickle into Greer's making it clear that this spot is popular with the locals. The wait for our food was much faster than expected, considering everything was being prepared to order. There are two chairs for sitting and waiting, but no main seating area to eat your meal. So after a quick exchange of funds for the goods, we thanked 'Young Guy', and headed to the nearest broad opened parking area to sample a few pieces of our order. Out of our two items, we really enjoyed the aptly named chicken chunks. They were fresh, thick and tender breast meat, that were seasoned very well to the point where they hardly needed any sauce. The fried chicken was good, but I would opt out and stick with the chicken chunks, if ever in Bristol again. After having our quick sampling of each of our items before our long ride back home, it was easy for us to see why this homemade-type of down south, feel good, fried chicken juke joint called Greer's has a following. Happy that we took the time to visit Greers. Keep up the good work!! read more

Stopped in today for a lunch take-out. 8pc fried chicken for $8.99, small side of macaroni salad and a medium side of mashed potatoes. Since we just moved from the Deep South, we assumed it would be hard finding good fried chicken in this area, but Greer's Chicken is on par with the places we use to go to down in Tennessee & Alabama. Sides were decent also, loved the macaroni salad. Seems like a family run business, people working there were very friendly. We intend to be back, it's only a mile away from us. *** Chicken Chunks are outstanding, I highly recommend them ! *** Fish sandwich is decent also. BUT, the chicken wings are lousy. Sauce is bland & flavorless, would not order them again. read more
