7 Best Chicken Restaurants near Ocean

“I came here on a whim with my son who is a huge huge Chick-fil-A fan thought we would try something different. Well let's just say in the past month we've been back six times and have yet to return to Chick-fil-A and that's saying a lot coming from my son the staff is fantastic. The restaurant is clean the food is super fresh, looks like this is our new chicken go to Spot Super IMPRESSED!!!!“

“Although they have been open for the past two years we just discovered them and we are glad we did. Simply coated Korean style wings that are off the charts delicious is their forte. Their sides are quite good. Ambience is bright, airy and open. Service was spot on being friendly, knowledgeable and enjoyable. Everything clicks here, so it's no wonder they have such a high Yelp rating. We will be back again for sure!“

“I’ve been coming to crowns since I was in high school and it’s just something about the fried chicken and fries that just are always right! I miss the old staff I don’t see them much but I see their sons are working here and I think that is amazing! John! I remember him always being so pleasant and welcoming especially to the kids/teenagers that use to come late hours eat and hang out. Definitely will always be a staple in my memories. Much love and stay blessed Crowns. I been to the one in asbury and it just does not hit the same as the one here in long branch“

“I normally don't order from fried chicken locations but I'll definitely order Krispy krunchy chicken again. Upon entering the corner store/liquor store everyone greets you and acknowledges that you're there. I went in with my partner days before actually ordering and the staff treated us with a sample which lead us to order from them. We went right before closing and they still treated us kindly and assuming the owner I was speaking to the owner that night, he treated us to some desserts and they were all delicious. They were unfortunately out of honey biscuits but that's a good sign. The Cajun tenders and chicken was good, flavorful, crispy , juicy. Fries were amazing, mashed potatoes with gravy was flavorful. The mac and cheese was good. Definitely have my support!“

“I'm in heaven! I have celiac disease and today I had fresh gluten free fried chicken, onion rings, fries and tenders. Everything was so delicious ! Fried Oreos were also amazing. The owner has 2 children with celiac, and they understand all the nuances that go along with it. Kudos to Emily for her friendliness and patience with all my questions.“

“I usually only stop in for a soda as I work next door and it's really convenient owners really nice I decided to try the mozzarella sticks and they were really good I'm not a huge chicken person but I saw a coworker bring in food form them and it always looks good.“

“Ok..I saw the pics of the food and decided to go. Now I expected black cooks "known" for a certain type of seasoning on the chicken to be behind the counter, and to my surprise...it wasn't. As I was about to do my best MJ, and moonwalk right back the hell out, I said Phuket, imma give it a shot. Now whether it's Italian, Mexican, Asian, soul food, etc. I'm leaning towards that person "known" for cooking the food it's best. FTR I have had plenty of bland fried chicken..consistently, so I'm specific about where I get it and who's cooking it. Today I wasn't in the mood for bland chicken...so I prayed for the best. To my surprise..the chicken was seasoned, the FRIES were seasoned too GTFOH (and not just salt I don't think)!! With that being said, "never judge a book by its color". I tore that 3 piece apart! Fossilized all 3 of em bitches! If you can fossilize a THIGH...u know it was good! Great job to the cook, management, whoever caught them chickens, everybody. I also let them know how well it was seasoned. Was it the best chicken in the world..Noo..but it was still good AF! Food was great, didn't need to be double dipped and extra extra crispy bullshit. It was perfect the way it was, right amount of seasoning and crunch and def will be back! I usually top out at 4-stars cause 5 means u can't go no higher, but for what I ordered, the food and price, was perfect, zero complaints, 5 stars!“
