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.

Paid a visit to Freddy's Frozen Custard and Steakburgers for a quick lunch on a Saturday. It's a…read morefast food place, order at the counter and wait for them to call your number. I ordered the Prime Steakburger, which was a double smashburger with shaved ribeye on top. I also got the fried cheese curds as well as the cheese fries. The burger was OK. The patties were smashed super thin and flat, and the shaved steak kinda slid off. It was pretty messy. The fried cheese curds weren't very stretchy, i wouldn't get them again. I liked the fries the most. The milkshake i got was pretty awesome, but for the price, this ain't that worth it. Bill came to near $30

This place is really cute and has a great aesthetic inside--it gave me a nostalgic, old-school vibe…read morethat reminded me of similar spots from back in the day. The staff was also very friendly, which I appreciated. The food, however, didn't quite live up to the atmosphere. The fries and onion rings were clearly made to order,..fresh, hot, and well-prepared. I ordered the California burger, and although it was labeled as a steak burger, it was much closer to a steak-umm style patty than what I expected. The burger wasn't hot, the meat had a slightly weird smell, and it lacked seasoning. I think a little seasoning could have gone a long way, but unfortunately, it just wasn't there. The restaurant could also use a bit more attention to cleanliness, as others have mentioned in their reviews as well. The garbage was overflowing and some tables had crumbs, which was surprising considering it wasn't very busy and seemed fully staffed. Lots of of high top tables and booths. There's a couple of outside tables as well. Plenty of parking and a drive-thru! On a positive note, the custard was the highlight & definitely the best thing I tried. Prices were fair overall.

1st time in Rahway and we stayed at the Watt Hotel it was late and we wanted a burger... this place…read morewas in literally a few doors down so we decided to stop by. For starters we had the shrimp tacos!!! $17 for 2 but worth every penny! And they were by far The best I've ever had!! Very fresh toppings and perfectly seasoned. And I loved the green sauce they topped it with. For dinner my husband and I split the $19 classic burger and substituted the fries for a Caesar salad. We also subbed the cheddar cheese for the smoked Gouda and omg chefs kiss!! Ordered it medium and It was cooked perfectly! For drinks we had a coke soda $3.50 and an uptown girl (lychee martini) $14 Both were good. The servers were really nice. The vibe was laid back. The volume of the music was perfect. The bathrooms were really clean. If ever in the area again I'd definitely come back!

I just wish they had a bit more crisp or char. For mains, we got the classic burger, veggie burger, and chicken milanese. The chicken definitely drives this review. The breading is crisped to perfection and the meat itself is nice and juicy. The salad on top provides a nice contrast and had me wishing I had a bit more to gobble up. The main bar space has high ceilings so it allows for you to not feel like you're on top of one another.

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!

The buffalo chicken dip was overwhelmingly loaded with cream cheese and didn't have much flavor. Even the drinks were disappointing--small, weak, and not at all what we expected. Overall, the entire experience was a big disappointment, and we wouldn't return.
