So I see the hype is false. I actually interviewed people in line and everyone said its was sooo good. NO! SUPER BLAND. Biscuits were tasty.. 30 to 40 minutes wait to place order and totally disappointed. The chicken has no flavor at all. Mac was bland. Potatoes Ok. read more

The Chicken Coop - Chicken Wings Near Me - Columbus, New Jersey

What an amazing find! They are located inside Amish market/flea market. This place is pretty bumping with customers frying up some delicious fried chicken and all the tasty sides so you basically just grab a ticket. They call your number and then you place your order for whatever chicken and sides you want. The prices are fairly decent and you get a good amount of food or whatever you're ordering the staff was friendly and suggestive. We heard about this place through a friend that lives nearby and I'm glad we had the opportunity to give them a try. I ordered about $100 worth of food to bring it back home For the family to try. I definitely recommend it if you're down in the area . it's definitely a nice walk inside to see all the vendors. You can find plenty of tasty treats to purchase . I ordered the family meal which was 12 pieces of chicken , fried potatoes and a large side of candied yams . I ordered an additional side of collard greens and 6 extra large wings . Chicken was cooked to perfection ( nice and juicy ) candied yams were delicious( just the right amount of sweetness ) and the collards were tender ( but could use some vinegar to give them some southern twang ) the fried potatoes weee yummy as well . As a bonus I got some fried chicken livers and gizzards read more

Although I understand the limitations of dining in a flea market, my experience with this food vendor did not live up to the positive reviews I had read. The chicken was underseasoned and lacked freshness, while the biscuits were overcooked and dry. This is far from "the best chicken you'll ever taste" as most people have stated. Maybe I caught them at a bad time? A 3 piece, two biscuits, and a small drink will run you a little over $15. There's counter space and stools available should you decide to eat there. They prefer cash but visa & Mastercard are accepted for orders over $15. read more

Juicy fried chicken, great sides and a drink for $13.99?!!! You can't beat that! The customer service is also great and friendly. We had the white meat which came with 2 breast and it was fried perfectly! The jojos and collard greens were perfect sides. Definitely will return! read more

Located inside the Columbus Market right outside the Amish market. Which I did not buy anything from the Amish market. But they are killing it in that market. You name it and they working it. Finally got here. According to Google, this place sells some of the best fried chicken in NJ. So getting take-out to see for me. And a cool yelper I hope she does not mind my shouting her out named Allie reviewed the chicken as excellent and gave them 4 stars. Sorry Allie, I had to give them 5 because the staff was really friendly and though busy took the extra time to answer all my questions about the deep-fried Kielbasa. It looked so good. But that's way too much-fried food for me. But definitely next time. There was few people (8) when I got to the stand. Picked up my order, walked around, and returned and the Chicken coop had about 20 people in line. That was in about 20 mins that I walked around. I picked up a 3 piece of chicken with 2 sides. JoJos (potatoes) and sweet potatoes. Planned to eat it at home. But it was hot and fresh and I took a walk break to try this chicken. First, the JoJos was mad good. I mean so freaking good. Big potatoes and flavor. The yams I almost ate all of the after-tasting a fork full. And the chicken was juicy on the inside, with golden crisp skin but not greasy, and had good flavor. Now, what determines the best-fried chicken? I can not say. But I can say this will rank very high on my list. read more

Came here on a Friday afternoon and there's already a line forming at this restaurant. Everything looked great from the fried gizzard, to the various pieces of fried chicken. You can pick from thighs, breasts, or wings. We opted for the wings, jojos, and mac and cheese. Everything was very tasty, although the chicken pieces and the jojos wasn't as crunchy as I hoped. Probably because it was sitting around in a pile and got steamed. The wings are huge and not your everyday normal wings. Three wings can feed a hungry dude. read more

Very greasy food. If you take out a bag of food, be careful where you place it as the grease soaks right through it. Very rude staff, given to rigid enforcement of their arbitrary rules. read more

I got sick on their breakfast sandwich again. I have been going there on a regular basis then they started ignoring me and giving me attitude, very typical from previous experiences with the owner and her daughter. I don't feel they handle the food properly to prevent bacteria that is probably why I got sick eating the sandwich. read more

Honestly I don't understand the hype. Got a platter and the chicken was room temperature at best, the Mac and cheese was cold and so congealed it looked like it was mixed with cottage cheese and had no flavor at all. It was more like buttered noodles instead of Mac and cheese. It's not like it was sitting out either as I sat right down immediately to eat it. The best thing about the platter was the biscuit. It was fluffy on the inside and not dry at all. If you like fast food it reminded me of KFC's biscuits. The chicken finger was also pretty good but not for $2 and change per piece. Hit and a miss for me. read more

Don't judge. I wasn't the only person eating fried chicken at 10:00 AM on a Sunday. (I'm not being defensive, it's the truth.) It's plenty busy, so be prepared to get your name yelled out loud and get called everything from my dear, sweetie, hon, honey, you, and hey you. I thought it was adorable. I ordered the platter with a chicken breast and 2 sides, cole slaw and mac and cheese. Both sides were really, really good. I could've and should've just eaten those two. The star of the platter should've been the fried chicken. And as fried chicken, it was pretty dang good. But I've eaten a lot of mom and pop fried chicken myself, and am pretty good at making it at home with my much beloved air fryer, so I will say while this chicken breast was nice and big, juicy and fresh, it also lacked a tiny bit of seasoning. I try really hard not to salt things, so it means something that I actually drizzled hot sauce on the chicken to give it a bit more CUCKLE DOODLE DOOOOO. Other than that, it was a delectable start to the day and it means I only snacked later on for the next 24 hours. read more

THE ABSOLUTE BEST fried chicken. Homemade sides! The creamiest ice cream! Breakfast at the 2nd store is phenomenal!!

The chicken coop, I've known you for a very long time. My mom used to have a little scrub shop waaay before the renovation with the food court. You guys always have the best fried chicken, gizzards, kielbasa, and of course the jojos potatoes. I always spend quite a bit of money here because I'm not here every week. So to compensate for that, I usually get a 1-2 lbs of jojos, several pieces of fried chicken, probably a pound of gizzards, and sometimes a good hunk of the kielbasa. When my fiance (the vegetarian) wants some jojos and a side. I opt to go for the "family meal" which is a good amount of pieces of chicken, 1 and a half lbs of jojos, and a large side. Recently, they expanded across the hall and now have the Coop Cafe! You can get breakfast sandwiches and chicken sandwiches. They also have ice cream and shakes. read more

It might be a regular fried chicken place but who doesn't like fried chicken?!! The smell was spectacular and there is a decent selection of fried chicken. I got the four piece chicken wings and the chicken tasted good. I liked the batter and the chicken was hot and juicy. Each Wong piece is about $1.30 which isn't bad. They also have soft serve ice cream and other sides but I didn't get them. I will next time I'm in the area. The service was good! Super easy and quick to get my order. read more

Most restaurants and diners don't do well with fried chicken. Fast food fried chicken leaves me feeling like my mouth is coated with Crisco & salt. The Coop knows fried chicken. Crispy coating, moist flavorful meat. Not over salted or greasy. The kielbasa is really good too. If you're in the market, give them a try. read more

Put it like this I've been back 3x in a row ! I tried their chicken wings , fried chicken gizzards which is my top favorite item to munch on, and baby that hot cakey like cornbread with the melted butter and honey omg it's to drool for ! Some might disagree, however I have a connoisseur for taste when it comes to food lol! read more

I was disappointed with this ordered family pack. The chicken tasted old and the cornbread was blah no honey like they use to do. Not happy for the money I paid. Smh read more

I love me some fried chicken. I don't care how that stereotypes me or whatever. I love it and I love when it's fried and seasoned well. My coworkers and I were craving some type of fried chicken, but I can't eat Popeyes and there were no KFCs in the area. I take to Yelp (because I trust y'all) and I read a promising review for the Chicken Coop. We immediately start driving there after clocking out. Okay, so... we got hella lost. We end up in this farmers market ran by the Amish and we're blown away by it. How did we not know this existed?? Stuck in Bordentown for two weeks and we found out about it a week into our stay. Wow. The GPS was bugging out because we were driving around in circles in the parking lot looking for the Coop. We eventually wandered into the Amish grocer and, oh my god, I could have died and gone straight to heaven. I'm saving that for another review! We finally make our way to the Chicken Coop (it's inside the mall that we didn't even know existed). So many things to choose from. I ask what's good and the women at the front respond with, "Literally, everything." Well, that's called being confident about what you're serving. I order some jumbo wings and a gravy bowl. My oh my, was my food good. The Jojos (fried potatoes) were seasoned perfectly and cooked just right. The chicken wings were delicious. Crispy and juicy at the same time. Hmmm~ And for a good price, too! Get you some! read more

Ok so it is THE BEST FRIED CHICKEN so far that I've had in south Jersey The jumbo wings really are JUMBO and crunchy and still moist actually worth the ridiculous price of GOOD WINGS read more

I've been craving fried chicken and this place hit the spot. However, I don't find anything amazing about it. It's just good fried chicken. It is a little pricey which was disappointing. The JoJos, which are fried potatoes, those are worth the buy. I really enjoyed them. They only take cash which I'm never a huge fan of as well. It's good fried chicken but it's not food I would go out of my way for. read more

Super good! They're fried chicken is so crispy and juicy. I love eating mine with hot sauce. Always get JoJos and they're coleslaw beats the heat! Expect to wait some time though since it's gets super busy. All well worth it though! Staff is super sweet also! read more

The food I had today was delicious as always. My only dislike was that one person takes your order and name, then someone else bags it and puts it on the counter, apparently in no particular order. Then someone else grabs a bag and calls the name and collects the money. The problem is there are no numbers on the bag and people that ordered after me got billed out first and my bag just sat there and got cold. The old way was much better. If they would put your ticket number on the order at least it would be more efficient read more

Dear Lord I could devour pounds of the Chicken Coops JoJo Potatoes & the Fried Chicken, I also buy the Chicken strips so I can dig in on the way home.

Delicious chicken, jo-jos (potatoes), kielbasa, mac & cheese, corn fritters, pulled pork, chili, cornbread, coleslaw...and the list goes on and on. Our family has been coming here for 30+ years and I've pretty much tried it all, and have never once been disappointed. read more
