Interior and ice cream counter
Lin Y.

I found this place while exploring en route back to the NJTransit station. Rahway is in deep trouble if this is the best fried chicken they can do! The place is no frills, with very colorful menus hanging up. Several tables and an ice cream counter. The chicken is quick and cheap but tastes like it is. I got the two piece mix for $6.40. The chicken was bland and super dry and got caught in my throat several times. I didn't eat it the same day but fried chicken should still hold up and other fried chicken I have tastes good the next day. The bread was hard so I wrapped it in a moist paper towel to reconstitute it in the microwave and it did the trick! It was soft and pillowy and when I took bite I got lots of air and the rest of the bread in my mouth deflated into something that reminds me of woody cellulose dough. I chucked the rest. The service is quick and employee was nice and deserves the stars.

Crispy on the outside & moist inside!

Popped in to grab a quick lunch to go. Place was small but clean, sit down seating wasn't available which was unfortunate but understandable for now. Onto the food review! I got the 2 piece chicken with fries and a side of potato salad since the Mac and cheese wasn't available. The chicken was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside so that's a solid 4/5 stars, the fries were the usual easy to make fries nothing special, nothing bad. The potato salad on the other hand was....weird. I think maybe it was a little heavy on the onions, or some other flavor? I can't put my finger on it but it just had a weird taste, not...bad per say but just a little off putting. Plus the chunks of potato were HUGE which leads me to believe that it was homemade or something. Overall it wasn't bad, probably a place I'll try again before I leave, but I think I'll pass on the potato salad this time. ;)

Damn! This place cooks the worst fried chicken I have ever had.. literally the worst. It was so upsetting I just threw away the rest of my box. Ate 3 out the 10 piece.... I gave it two stars because their cheese fries weren't bad at all. At least that satisfied me...

Chicken with rice, 2 pc fried chicken with rice, sweet potato pie, pasta salad, 2 white sauce containers and a salad..  So good

Yes yes yes!!! We have found a place that sells chicken and rice with the white sauce without having to go into the city to find it!!!!! This place is great! Super friendly and Yes, it is a chicken shack, but on steroids! Place looks great and it's in the center of town. Their menu is pretty basic, but I went for the rice and chicken with white sauce. Ohhh yummy! They put the salad in another container so the rice and chicken portion is enormous. It's not salty at all, and it has great seasoning. Ask for extra sauce on the side!!! The fries are so good! Crispy and very tasty. Their fried chicken was juicy and crispy!! Totally going to order here again!! I'm going for the sandwiches next! Take note, Rahway isn't in its best shape just yet, visual wise, but it's growing. The bars, restaurants and new apartments are starting to pop up. Police are present in the area and they don't mind pulling people over lol

Wow! This Fried Chicken is so delicious! I was craving some fried chicken and started looking up menus on Yelp and stumbled upon this place. I had seen it before but had opted to try places closer to me first. their online menu was really good, easy to read and to access online. The prices were great as well! I placed an order for delivery and my order came earlier then anticipated. We had ordered an 8-piece a fried chicken which came with three roles and two side dishes. We chose the mac and cheese and French fries. The signs are nothing to write about. You come here for the chicken! We were also eyeing up some of their chicken sandwiches as well, which I would assume are also really good. The chicken breading is almost unbelievable. It is so well seasoned and delicious, it leaves you craving more. The quality of the chicken itself is also great! Some places skimp on the quality of chicken and just brought it but this place has great chicken with a delicious and perfectly crisp outside. I'm such a fan of this chicken, I'm hooked on it now! And they do delivery!

Hot Wings were way too salty to the point where they we're inedible; and if I could have given a zero - I would have. Disappointing.

Whenever I find myself in Union County, more often than not you will find me at Paragon Tap +…read moreTable! I called in for a big party, and they did an excellent job with the table-setting & location. Secondly, the food: Their apps are absolute winners. Our table got the Bavarian Soft Pretzel ($12) and the 12-piece wings ($22). Both came out hot and full-of-flavor! Both were excellent with a cold beer. For my main, I actually got a special which was not on their main menu. It was a Fajita Burger served with (you guessed it...) fajita fries. I added jalapenos for an extra kick. It was very good, but the buns are quite thick, so I actually just ate it with the bottom bun intact. The burger patty itself is quite thick which I enjoyed in this current smash-burger phase our world is currently in. Don't sleep on a pub burger. For dessert, it was one of our friends birthday, and as you can see --- they decorated it nicely! Not "they", sorry, Sara - our waitress - did! She was such an awesome server, and communicated very well. Awesome experience + awesome setting + awesome food! Thanks Paragon for doing what you do!

My friend and I visited on a very quiet Friday morning for breakfast. Neither of us had been here…read morebefore but that is going to change. We were provided a very friendly and warm greeting upon entry. My friend ordered the chicken and waffles with two eggs over easy. I ordered the brioche French toast with bananas, strawberries, blueberries, and a side of sausage. The Belgium waffle had two big pieces of fried chicken attached and the portion was huge. My French toast consisted of three thick slices of brioche bread with plenty of fresh fruit covering it. The sausage was two fat links. Tasty and cooked fresh. As a coffee snob, I would say it was very good. Very extensive menu for breakfast with plenty of options to eat healthy or to adhere to your dietary restrictions. The service was excellent and very friendly. The prices were very reasonable. There is plenty of parking in their private lot or you can find some on the side street. We will be back.

Maybe you should consider people's dietary preferences and accommodations, no need to explain. Every restaurant, diner, cafe or place breakfast is served across NJ and beyond have I never been restricted with my options and needs. It's not about the cost because I pay for what I want. I got the regular order because I wanted to be respectful and that is basically what I want on the menu, my side was never received so I had it removed. The taste was actually good but after eating a quarter of one I boxed the rest and gave it to my daughter. Strike 2 was the wait time for our food, two tables after us were served and sizable meals. I ordered Pancakes and water. I ordered an omelette and a cup of coffee, horrible she said. How long do you have to wait for that 30+ minutes. Strike 3 was they seemed more focused on the turn around verses the actual service to seated customers. We weren't the only table. I've shared MY REVIEW......

I want to preface this by saying that I'm a native New Yorker who grew up almost around the corner…read morefrom Lucali, so I'm very familiar with waits, lines, reservations, and the realities of trying to get into a popular restaurant. That's why I was actually excited and hopeful to find a restaurant in Garwood that might offer a similar experience. Unfortunately, our first impression left a lot to be desired. We arrived without a reservation and were told by the maître d' that there would be at least a two-hour wait. While I understand that restaurants get busy, the way the information was delivered felt unnecessarily dismissive. We were then directed toward the bar, where we attempted to find a place to sit. Just as we were about to sit down, the owner told us that those seats had been reserved for someone else. We went back to speak with the maître d', but the interaction and attitude at that point were unpleasant enough that we decided to leave. To his credit, the owner ultimately offered us a table outside, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, by then, the overall experience had already left us feeling unwelcome, and we decided it wasn't worth staying. I'm sure the food may very well be excellent, and perhaps we simply caught the restaurant on an off night. But a great dining experience starts well before the food reaches the table. There are plenty of restaurants where I'm happy to spend my money, and I don't expect special treatment--just basic courtesy and hospitality. Hopefully others have a better experience, but based on ours, we won't be returning.

Like mentioned, this was supposed to have artichoke, but it seemed like asparagus was used instead. This was a little plain. It needed more seasoning, specifically salt, pepper, and cheese. The risotto was cooked just right though. Will I go back? I was not present but probably would head there.
