Chickenbox

Stopped by Chicken Box in Rahway and it did not disappoint. The fried chicken was crispy, well-seasoned, and fresh—golden on the outside, juicy on the inside. You can tell it wasn’t just sitting under a heat lamp. The sides were on point too: the mac and cheese was rich and comforting, and the yellow rice was flavorful and cooked right—not dry, not mushy. Portions were generous… real value. There was a little wait, but they threw in an extra piece of chicken for the inconvenience. No attitude, just good energy. Very cool vibes all around. Bonus: it’s right across the street from The Hive, so it’s an easy post-workout or late-night stop. No gimmicks—just good food and even better service. If you’re in Rahway and craving real fried chicken with solid sides, Chicken Box is a must-stop. 🍗💯

Just discovered this spot and I've been living in Rahway for 4 years now! The owner and staff were super friendly and chill but the food! (Because let's be honest, you can be nice but how that food taste?!). Every bit of soul and delish. Some of the best Mac and cheese I've ever had.. perfectly proportioned with those yams! Chicken breading was seasoned nicely and I haven't even tried the corn bread yet. Based on everything else, I'm just going to say it's good. Try this place out, you will not be disappointed! 😌😋

A hidden gem! Sooo yummy! Sad I just found out about this place even though it’s been there for over a year. The fried chicken is amazing and the sweet tea was delicious! Definitely going back!

This is was the best fried chicken we’ve ever had. It is cooked fresh and is not some reheated soggy garbage. The breading is perfect. The chicken is juicy and cooked perfectly. The fries were also great. You will have wait a little bit longer then a normal place but I assure you the wait is well worth it.

🙌🏾 HANDS DOWN; ONE OF THE BEST SOUL FOOD SPOTS I’VE EVER BEEN TO! Black-owned, Family- Owned, cozy, and full of heart. When I went I had the fried catfish dinner with candied yams, collard greens, and cornbread. Baby that cornbread 🤤 just wow. That cornbread took me straight back to Grandma’s kitchen; buttery, crunchy, and melt-in-your-mouth perfect. The catfish was Golden, meaty, perfectly seasoned. Yams, Not too sweet, just right. This place is a must-visit. Bring your own bottle, bring your appetite, and leave happy.
