Richard's Chicken Coop

The Chicken Coop is widely regarded as one of if not the best fried chicken spots in New Jersey. Mine and my father’s taste buds certainly agree. It reminded us of Golden Skillet back when they used to have locations up here in New Jersey some 20 plus years ago. It’s definitely the best American style fried chicken I’ve had since Golden Skillet used to be around up here, you can only find them down south now. The people running the place are very friendly and the service was quick and attentive. And it’s located within the wildly awesome Columbus farmers market. I’ll definitely come back in the future.

Went there yesterday with my wife. Had what i think is the best chicken sandwich of all my 51 years on this earth. Now there are 2 types of people in this world , those who eat to live, and those who live to eat. I am of the latter, so i take it very serious when i say "the best" of anything. Lets start with the ladies behind the counter of the Coop Cafe. You deserve a raise! They were so wonderful, I explained it was our first time there and they were so helpful and explaining everything. My wife and I both got the "The Plain Jane" which is "Crispy chicken with melted Monterey jack cheese" we added mayo and pickles. I also went across the isle to the main chicken coop and got a order of the famous JOJOs. They called us for our sandwiches and these sandwiches are HUGE! the pictures do not

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

The Coop Cafe at Richard's Chicken Coop was the best Chicken Sandwich I ever had. Honestly the chicken breast was thick, juicy and tasty. We had 3 of them, the Hot Mama, The Famous Sauce Sandwich and the BBQ Deliight. They were all fantastic. The potato chips with the Sandwich was on point. Then we ended the day with a Banana Pudding Milkshake, the server that helped us was absolutely amazing and my daughter loved the shake. Prices were good for the amount and freshness.

I had high hopes for this place based on the amount of people ordering but unfortunately i was left disappointed. This food lacks seasoning all around. I tried the Thighs, a wing, mac n cheese, potato salad, macaroni salad, and candied yams. I am pretty sure the yams are from a can and just a little extra brown sugar mixed in. The wings are just average. The sides however were all very bland and had no hint of any seasoning. They were also out of gizzards when i went. The prices are fair and the staff is well organized and cordial. With all that in mind i would patron this place again only to try the gizzards and the kielbasas which looked good. If those arent tasty i would select another of the many vendors on site.
