My friend and I visited this establishment on Sunday, September 6, and unfortunately, our first impression was not a positive one. As we approached the hostess station, we were not greeted warmly or even with a smile. When I asked for a table for two, the hostess immediately told us there would be a 20-minute wait, even though the restaurant did not appear to be very crowded at the time. We also had a reservation, which she never asked about. Once we mentioned that we had a reservation, her demeanor seemed somewhat annoyed. I understand that everyone can have an off day, but the hostess is often the first person a customer encounters and plays an important role in representing the establishment. A warm greeting and welcoming attitude would have made a much better first impression, especially since this was my first time visiting. I honestly considered leaving a negative review based solely on the initial interaction. However, our server, Julia K.(5 stars), completely changed the experience. She was friendly, attentive, professional, and made sure we were well taken care of throughout our visit. The food was also great. Overall, I hope management takes the initial customer service experience into consideration because the food and service from Julia were definitely worth recognizing. With a more welcoming first impression at the hostess stand, this could have been an excellent first-time experience. read more

Stopped by Chicken or the Egg on Route 70 and had a really good meal. The giant soft pretzel was fresh, warm, and perfect for sharing. The wings were also excellent--cooked just right, flavorful, and definitely the highlight of the visit. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the service could have been a little better. It wasn't bad, but it felt a bit slow and could have been more attentive throughout the meal. Overall, the food was definitely worth the visit, and I'd come back again for the pretzel and wings! read more

I have to admit I haven't been much of a fan of Chegg in the very limited amount of visits I've had over the years. Recently some family members went for happy hour to watch a Phillies game, and they had a great time. We decided to give it another shot for happy hour. We really enjoyed ourselves and thought the value for what we ordered was outstanding. We arrived just after 5pm (happy hour weekly from 3-6) and were greeted by one of 3 bartenders who helped us throughout our visit (all 3 bartenders were great). I asked about their current down east cider on tap and she poured us a taster without having to request it. I ended up going with a happy hour dirty Kettle martini which ended up being super smooth. My wife had a Surfside, also on happy hour. The happy hour food consists of 1/2 price appetizers, fries, 10 piece boneless/bone-in wings and fingers. Drink wise it's $3 off all draft beer & house wine, $5 seltzers & teas, $7 margaritas, and $10 kettle & espresso martinis. I love a good deal and this is it! Chegg also has a fun Phillies special where each game there is a player of the game. If that player records a hit there are drink specials the remainder of the game! We ordered a bunch of food also on happy hour; Garlic Parm Boneless Wings, Fried Pickle Spears, Cheesy Bay Fries, and Bone-In Zapper Wings. I typically prefer smaller wings. These wings were on the bigger side and were meaty and juicy, but they were also crispy, cooked well throughout and not fatty. The wing sauce was really good! Very hot but not overbearing which is just what I was hoping for. The fried pickle spears were also a hit, and seemed to be breaded in house which is a huge plus if they were. The boneless wings were very good, however, we've had better Garlic Parm sauces elsewhere. Still nothing to complain about. After finishing my Dirty Martini I ordered a Jalapeño Margarita which was delicious. The bartender muddled jalapeño in the shaker prior to making the drink. It was limey and refreshing with a subtle jalapeño kick. Well worth the price tag and something I'd definitely order again. I finished up with one of my favorite all time beers, Tonewood Fuego (this drink not on happy hour). I mention this as all of this food and drink came out to ~$65. Again, value-wise I was impressed. I think Chegg has the potential to be great place to watch games. Their bar is very large with plenty of TVs throughout. They also have a great patio bar for beautiful days/nights. I'm sure during big Philadelphia sporting events the atmosphere is pretty great inside and out. I can definitely see myself coming back again for happy hour as the food and drink specials are great in my opinion. This was my first time at a Chegg happy hour. I still feel the prices are a bit high outside of happy hour. If you want decent bar food at a good price Chegg happy hour could be a place for you. read more

We placed an online order and selected a 1:30 PM pickup time. We arrived right at 1:30 and were told it would only be another five minutes. Unfortunately, we ended up waiting an additional 25 minutes for our food, and the staff seemed to have no idea what was going on with the order. We only ordered soup and French fries, so the long delay was especially frustrating. Better off going to the the LBI location. I don't understand why the online ordering system allows you to select a specific pickup time if the restaurant can't have the order ready anywhere close to that time. Overall, very disappointing customer service. read more

Decided to have a late Sunday brunch since I needed to make a run to the Produce Junction. I love the decor and aesthetics of the restaurant. The comic book look. It was a hot day as the FIFA was playing we sat on the outside addition. I enjoyed my food and the Parmesan wings were so good. The drinks were very strong and flavorful. Service was great as our waitress was very attentive. read more

Came in for lunch on a Saturday and we had no issues finding parking or getting seated right away. We ordered the Stuffed French Toast with Blueberries, Chicken Walnut Salad, and a side of Home Fries to share. The salad was ok and I wish there were more greens it - seemed like such a small serving for how much chicken came with it. Breakfast Potatoes were crunchy so pretty happy about that. Would give this place another try and maybe order one of the breakfast options instead. read more

Outside of a traditional diner not sure where you can order a legit stack of pancakes and wings anyway you want them with your choice of hot and sweet sauces at the same time ( and a Ship Bottom beer on draft). We were seated quickly on a Saturday night even with the Flyers on and the food came out really fast which is solid for the little ones that may accompany you. Zapper sauce was tasty and had the kick that was advertised. Minimal sweat outside of the face tackling just 5 of em. Wings were breaded and meaty so no complaints there. The place is massive and it looks like they got the staffing to keep it up even when it's busy. Good for them ... I hope they open up more of these joints. read more

The food was acceptable, but delivered sloppily. I had to send my first draft beer back because it had a floater in it.our server was very sweet and efficient and the atmosphere is amazing.

We went Sunday during the FIFA games and it was moderately busy. The vibe of the place is better than the food. I wouldn't recommend this place for lunch or dinner if you're looking for something with amazing food. It's bar level food. Very mid. We got the candied bacon. While the flavor was good, the consistency/ texture was that of Thanksgiving ham slices. There was no crisp to it at all. Very soft and flexible. Fat cheg wrap and the chicken Slammer sandwich with grilled chicken. My bf said he wouldn't order the Fat cheg again. Wasn't very good. My sandwich was decent but extremely messy. The sweet potato's were decent though. read more

Stopped in on the morning of the 4th of July. Wanted breakfast and coffee and we came to the right place! Our waitress was awesome! Friendly and personable-the best combo!

I went there twice in one week ! Everyone enjoyed their food including my kids who loved their kids meals . One had a burger the other had the Drummies ( chicken nuggets) . In my 2 visits had the bee sting wings and breakfast tacos my first time and then a chicken cheese steak with bee sting sauce and blue cheese my second. I LOVED the wings ! I was even more of a fan of the chicken cheese steak with bee sting sauce. The atmosphere of the restaurant was great . It is much bigger than it looks on the outside . Both times the service was great. Just an FYI this a busy place for brunch but they seat you quicker than their initially given times. This may be my new spot !!!! read more

Absolutely horrible service from Mckenzie. One of the worst I have ever experienced. There were 4 people at our table and she asked after each person ordered "okay is that all"....obviously one plate of wings is not a meal for 4 people. She never came to check on us, never asked if we needed anything. I called to ask for another waiter and he rolled his eyes and walked away. And then she just brought the check and tried to walk away. I asked her if she could please split the check two ways what each family ordered and she said "i don't remember what each of you got" so I gladly marked the bill to reflect each check for her. Please work on training for servers to have better customer service and attitude. She doesn't have to be perfect but she can be kind. I understand if she was slammed with multiple tables, but she had 3 tables and the others were looking around for her as well. She was rude from the start so I am not sure what we did to get that reaction. We will not be back. I would not recommend this place purely due to the poor service. read more

Such a fun chicken restaurant! A large restaurant where you can enjoy food with the family, or watch any sports games happening. And all of their food is available all day long -- I ordered my "swamp sauce" tenders at 10am! They have 18 sauces, plus dry rubs, available. The "swamp sauce" I ordered my tenders to be tossed in was a sweet Cajun sauce - perfectly sweet and spicy! Very rich in flavor. The chicken was well-cooked, very juicy and tender and delicious. The fries were crisp and good as well. My daughter ordered the chocolate chip pancakes, which they did not skimp out on the chocolate chips. She loved them, as well as her bacon. Our server was so friendly, very knowledgeable, and our food came out hot, fresh, and quick. I would love to go back and try more of their food! read more

Went here for the first time on a Thursday morning. I liked that you can order whatever on the menu at anytime the restaurant is opened. I got the watermelon mimosa. It was ok but it wasn't my particular preference. Service was fine. The stir fried chicken was just ok. I did not care for the amount of chili sauce on it. read more

Just left The Chicken and the Egg. We tried to wave down our server to pay our bill for 15 minutes with no success. She even came to the table next to us.

Update: had a friend of a friend comment valid getting food poisoning post chicken noodle soup - do not eat here

We old timers from Beach Haven knew Chicken or the Egg as the somewhat bizarre breakfast/lunch joint that made customers sign a liability release before participating in a Ludicrous Chicken Wing Eating Contest. Many of us accepted the challenge and promptly lost our shit when the spice quotient was so off the charts that it blew out our mouths in flames. The newer CHEGG in Marlton is a lovely hangout, more sports bar than full blown wing spot, still capable of blowing you up, but less dependent on that gimmick to bring you in the doors. The menu is broad and deep, with plenty of choice any time of day. My son and stepson still wanted to try the killer wings, but were smart enough to order real food as well if the Ludicrous Wing contest fell apart, as it inevitably did. One had a Turkey Wrap, and the other a Standard Burger and French Onion Soup. Those five conflagrationary wings proved too much to consume even with multiple glasses of milk to extinguish the fire, came home as three, with full episodes of gasping, sweating, tearing, moaning and running to the restroom. Their other food was fine, if not exceptional, and my Farmers Breakfast Melt (eggs, sausage, ham, onion, pepper, cheese) in a bowl, actually a quite good first meal of the day. Better than I recall available in Beach Haven. So, the Marlton shop is an upgrade for sure, with plenty of space in either large barroom or separate dining areas. Colorful, loud rock, and friendly servers in black Ts, making the experience as attractive as possible. Although close to an hour from home in Bucks, worth the trip to Jersey for the fun and flames. We agreed we would come again, despite the $100+ price tag for the three of us without a bar tab. read more

The inside bar service is very inconsistent. The bartenders don't circle the bar and check on their customers. Looks like they're too busy making drinks for tables or socializing with other employees. read more

When: Tuesday Morning Service: seated right away and waitress was attentive and able to answer questions about the menu. Food: ordered a create your own omelette and it was packed! Like too much in it. The egg was basically the side. Had a side of chicken sausage, that could have stayed in the kitchen. You get 4 large patties. But they are clearly previously frozen patties. Not nasty, but I didn't even get through one whole one, just wasn't good. The pineapple habenero wings were good. The flavor was on point, I'm just not a huge fan of breaded fried wings and then tossed in sauce. The waffle was surprisingly good. Drinks: got the Cheggnog and Bellini both good, but strong. read more

I wasn't sure how much I'd like this place when I read about it, but it has turned out to be a pretty solid option, especially since it has a lot of outdoor/semi outdoor seating. Food is consistently pretty good, they have a pretty decent beer and drinks offering, and service is pretty good as well. The waffle is really good at any time of day. The vibe seems to get a little different if you go there on a Saturday for dinner, I guess to get ready for the partying side of things later in the evening, but overall a good addition to the area. read more

Stopped for lunch. Forgot to take pictures of our salads but they were delicious. I ordered the Buffalo chicken salad which came with two boneless chicken breast fried and tossed in the sauce of your choose. I picked medium which was had just enough heat without taking away from the Buffalo flavoring. We sat outside which was lovely on a cool Saturday afternoon. They have a large outdoor section with even a bathroom so no need to go inside for anything. Service was good, quick with a refill and didn't feel rushed. read more

Solid experience overall. We agreed it was average at three stars, but it was definitely a step up from the last time. The food was good today. Slow start, we actually debated leaving because our server took way too long to make initial contact. Then, the server spilled one of our drinks on the table when they arrived. It was handled promptly and they were apologetic and alll. It was not a problem. Food came out and was good! Burgers were cooked well done. We were not asked for a doneness temp. Prefer medium. But they were good. Nice brioche buns, crispy bacon, fried eggs were just cooked with nice runny yolks. Tater tots were perfection. Crisp and hit. I will return,, and maybe they can make it up to four stars! read more

Came here for dinner and had a pleasant experience. Came for dinner around 7 on a Saturday and it was pretty lively outside. Despite the inside being empty, there was a wait (I'm assuming due to short staffing). I ordered the 10 wings with the ludicrous sauce. The waiter suggested I order one step down (the obscene) since the one I wanted is insanely intense to the point it isn't enjoyable. The obscene had a very strong kick and I did sample the ludicrous sauce and holy moley was that thing HOT. I love spicy and have an insane tolerance for spice, but that would have been brutal to eat on wings in a large capacity. The server was great and worth five stars, but the food is average. Got the garlic pub fries and they were insanely greasy. read more

I'm so surprised by the amount of poor reviews on here! My friends and I came last night for dinner and drinks, we had an awesome experience. Our server Des was so sweet and kept checking on us to make sure we were good on drinks. Started with the nachos, which were great! Loaded with toppings and a perfect shareable. I got the BCW with their "Beesting" sauce (reminded me of a more mild version of hot and honey) which was delicious. The fries were perfectly crispy. Great drink menu with a lot of options on tap, good mixed drink menu as well. After our meal we hung out in the outdoor area where there were couches, fire pit seating, and cornhole. Looks like they're working on getting TVs put up on the outside as well, which will bring even more appeal to the area. Definitely will be back! read more

Excited to try this place with so much local anticipation for the opening. Came for brunch on Friday and it was packed. Parking was crazy. Huge menu so lots to choose from. I picked the $9.99 Texas Toast French toast. It was meh. It was described as extra thick French toast...and it wasn't. Hubs tried the Cinnamon Roll French toast which was a decent portion but he just wasn't wowed by the portion size or flavor. The space is huge with lots of blaring TVs and music so don't plan on having any quiet conversations when you come during busy times. Sadly I doubt I will return. read more

2.5 stars ... this place needs to get it's collective act together!!! It's big and beautiful and all new inside but all that glitters is certainly not gold! (I didn't like the ugly chicken artwork either). Our server was often MIA and some of the dishes took super long to come out. The chicken pot pie looked like a crock of soup with a fancy rectangular piece of pastry over top! (I just met the girl who had it or I would've taken a picture ... she said "Marie Callender's was better!") I personally would have sent that thing back! The chicken nachos were supposedly good (not great) and I would've had ordered them if it weren't a night meal (always watching my carb intake!). I had a Caesar salad. It came in a small cereal-sized bowl and it was literally just romaine, croutons, and dressing! Totally bland and it was $11. Rip off! (I asked how much "market price" was for an added seared crab cake - ONE crab cake? ... $12!) Mixed reviews on the drinks. My one friend loved his (said it was strong) but ... $18 !!! NEV-ER for me! Another friend was unimpressed. The sorting of a big group bill was nothing short of a 3-ring circus! It gave me a headache! Bring your cash because there is a 3.5% fee if you use a card on top of all of the aforementioned mess! I will not be returning to this all over the place target marketing mess- HARD PASS! read more

We spent a beautiful Mother's Day here with my brother, sister-in-law, niece and her boyfriend. The menu was extensive. It took us a long time to decide what to eat. I ended up just settling for a vegetable omlett. It was a good size with a side of home fries and toast. That was the only meal we had all day and it kept me full. The other meals were just as filling. The atmosphere of this place was beautiful. We sat outside on a sunny, 70 degree weather day. There were big screen TVs outside playing sports. There were two bars, one inside and one out. The service was slow. Perhaps because it was a holiday. It took a long time not only to get the bill, but to pay. Parking was ample. All in all, we had a beautiful time and will definitely return. read more

A waiter (later found out his name was Kyle) saw us took the menu from the diners across the way looked at us and walked away.

We came in as a larger party and service was great!! 8 peoples orders and we did not wait a million years for food, drinks, boxes, or a bill. Food was solid, pancakes were a hit all around (blueberry, chocolate and jersey) and the cinnamon bun French toast is not to be missed for French Toast fans. Only thing that came up is a personal issue, not anything on establishment. My older son is ASD and it was louder than he liked but we solved this by getting his noise canceling headphones from the car. Outside of that my super picky ASD kiddo ate everything on his plate happily so clearly the volume with headphones was a non-issue. read more

Sat. Feb 28: Looking for a breakfast/brunch place near my daughters home in Mt. Laurel. Chicken or the egg sounded like a good option. Never been there before and never will again. There were 6 of us. On walking in the first thing that hit us was the incredibly loud blaring music. I did not realize I was going to a club or sports bar for breakfast. Although there is a bar right in front as you enter with multiple screens tuned to sports. That surprised me. We were seated quickly. Got a booth that seated the 6 of us comfortably. Probably best part of the experience. Food was meh, acceptable nothing to go back for. Better option for breakfast would be a diner such as Ponzios a few minutes West on Rt 70 and you can actually converse with one another. Service was good in spite of difficulty of server hearing us and us hearing him due to the blaring music. I asked the server about the loudness of the music and he said yes it made it difficult to hear the customers when they were ordering. I don't know about others, but when I go to a restaurant whether it be for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner I want to be able to hold a conversation with others in the group without having to yell across the table to be heard and even then we missed quite a bit of what was being said due to the volume. Even the 2 teenagers with us complained about the loudness. One of them suggested we immediately leave and go elsewhere before ordering. Music should be in the background adding a serene ambiance to the dining experience permitting the diners to converse with one another. If the music was not so overpowering I'd go back in spite of the mediocre average food. But when you combine the bar/club music volume and meh food there's no need to return to have your sense of hearing blasted. read more
