Okay this used to be my go to place for chicken fingers but I made an order today and it was horrible. The fingers aren't the same they were Tyson's cheap water filled junk. They even tried to cover it up by giving me half the good ones half the cheap gross ones. You lost Brad a customer for good. read more

Chicken Holiday isn't fancy but....the wings are really! Really delicious!!! They are plump. Juicy. Covered-not drenched- in sauce. That makes them perfect!!! My dad brought me here and he knows his wings! Stop by! read more

Way better than Popeyes. Crispy, tender, delicious. We go back all of the time and will probably never go anywhere else for fried chicken again. Only thing missing is a gravy for the mashed potatoes. read more

Chicken, ribs and corn fritters.. oh my!!!! THE Staff is always very friendly. Take out packaging A+

Just ordered a 16 piece fried chicken bucket from Chicken Holiday on Olden Avenue Extension in Ewing, NJ. After calling it in, I drove there on my way home, and arrived just as it was coming out of the pressure fryer. It looked dark bronze and the odor of the steam being released went right to my head, and made me feel a bit intoxicated. Nothing wrong with that! I watched as the cook removed the chicken and transferred it to an aluminum tray for safe travel. I counted the pieces with him, and think my package carried 17 total. I appreciated the extra generosity. He then wrapped the tray in foil, and tore open the top dome to allow the condensation to escape. In turn, that was placed in a heavy gauge brown paper sack, and again split open at the top for additional moisture release. By the time I arrived home, I was nearly overcome by the aroma enveloping the car. I decided to sample a wing while still hot and wait for the family before consuming more. First bite encountered crisp skin, followed by warm white meat and a pleasant clean oil fried chicken flavor. I nibbled and sucked all the meat from them bones, and I selfishly considered grabbing a plump breast for a long moment. Nah! It would be more fun to indulge with the fam. So, I waited. An hour later we were sitting around the kitchen table with sides of homemade mashed potatoes and green salad as excellent complementary pieces to a very happy meal. A star is missing because truth be told, the chicken was a tad overdone. A lighter golden copper finish would have made it perfect. Turns out that as much as I love the color bronze, it is past prime when it comes to fried chicken excellence. Still very good texture and taste, but with a subtle aftertaste that missed the mark. In fried chicken, even a seconds can make a big difference. read more

Chicken Holiday - Flounder Fish Fillet Dinner - Delis Near Me - Trenton, New Jersey

I definitely will give Chicken Holiday another chance. I tried to call in my order numerous times and never seemed to get through. I decided maybe their phones were down or maybe the number was outdated. I drove down here to get some chicken and the first thing the guy asks me is "did you call in an order?" and when I said "no" he said that I'd have to wait 15 min. Which was fine but slightly frustrating when I did attempt to call in an order. I confirmed that the number I was calling was the correct one. The food itself was pretty good. Not the best chicken I've ever had but for the price and all things considered it was pretty good! I've also heard that other Chicken Holiday locations are better but I can't verify this. read more

The food is always great. The service is always great and the atmosphere or ambience is lovely.

Such an awesome experience with them! Was traveling from Virginia and got this for our family as a recommendation from family. The staff was extremely personable, the food was phenomenal and the sides were icing on the cake. Wicked good and would definitely go there again read more

Stopped by today for the first time while on business in the area. The owners who were super friendly have been there 38 years- that should tell you something. Chicken is to die for- you're not at KFC or Popeyes for sure. The quality of the chicken is high end-Perdue. Very fair pricing. Had 4 pieces and fries- amazing. Again, very friendly guys who treat their customers like friends. Run don't walk! read more

The honey wings here are awesome if made fresh some times one of the brothers is lazy and will get you wings from under the heating lamp that doesn't heat. The chicken, shrimp & ribs are all awesome too! Just make sure them honey wings are fresh! read more

Great staff, efficiently prepared and tasty food. Parking easy and a good selection of beverages. I recommend.

We are new in town and have been driving past all week so tonight my family had to try it. We were not disappointed. Everything was so great and the man who took my phone order was awesome and promised some of the best food I've ever had. He wasn't wrong! We tried chicken breasts, chicken fingers, Buffalo wings, mozzarella sticks and ribs. I can't pick a favorite. We will absolutely be back! read more

Chicken Holiday - a sign for the restaurant - Delis Near Me - Trenton, New Jersey

Strange, couldn't find a menu online so I called to find out bulk sizes for wing orders. Asked about flavors and he said can't go wrong with the buffalo. I mentioned honey just guessing and he said "ya ya but you can't go from wit buffalo" Come to find out later they have several flavors. Appears he was too lazy to want to make them. read more

When we moved to the area, we would occasionally pass this place or see a flyer or ad, and joke: "Chicken Holiday. Well, doesn't sound like much of a holiday for the chicken!" [yuk, yuk, yuk]... and we kinda wrote it off. And what a stupid thing to do. This past week we were at a picnic, and had what I really thought was some of the best fried chicken I've tasted in a long time. [you see it coming...] Me: "Man, this is incredible fried chicken, where is it from?" Host: "Chicken Holiday, over on Olden." Me: "Really? Wow! It's great!" Host: "Yeah, they do a great job." [Pause. Taking a bite of chicken] Me: "I guess it's not much of a holiday for the chicken." Host: [exhales beer through nose] Recommended for take out, not a place you really want to sit down and eat. Still, freaking sign me up. I love fried chicken, and this is the best in the area unless you want to drive up to It's Nutts. Four stars not for ambience or service, but for serving damn good fried chicken. Cole slaw is also amazing. Avoid the fish. read more

Nope. Nope. and Nope. Asked for a suggestion and was told I could do no wrong. So I went with the flounder. It was frozen and ordered in bulk and then deep fried. I should have guessed it would be but it was my fault for not asking. Or maybe I should have just gone with the chicken. Regardless...nope. I won't be back. read more

The chicken is amazing and the tender ribs been going there for over 30 years Jimmy and his brother John still there all those years.

Family owned, friendly, amazing service. Chicken was fantastic. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!

Look I am from the south. I know good fried chicken. Friends let me tell you, this fried chicken is legit. The crispy coating is something to admire. It is flavorful and fresh. I can't believe I'm going home to Georgia and telling people that I had some of the best fried chicken ever, in New Jersey. The owner is also very entertaining. Great food and great atmosphere. read more

Probably the best barbecue wings in the area. And I absolutely LOVE chicken. The staff are good guys, and you will be back for more

First time in Trenton on a business trip and found Chicken Holiday on Google maps. Convinced my co-workers to try it, and we loved it. Incredibly moist chicken. The chicken is cooked in a pressure fryer. We will be back. read more

Small Chicken Wings My name is Rico, I went to the Chicken Holiday (CH) on North Olden Ave, Ewing Twp. Everyone in my Office gave CH great reviews so I decided to try their Buffalo Wings, order of 12 for $8.95. I picked up the wings and rush back to my office in West Trenton. I opened the container and I couldn't believe my eyes. I never, let me repeat, NEVER saw wings so small in my LIFE. I started counting and there was 12 but they counted wing tips as wings. Wings Tips should be garage not part of the menu! So I called back and the old gentleman said the wing tips should be extra and not part of the 12 wings. He also said come back and I will give more wings. NO THANK YOU. This is my first and hopefully last negative review I ever wrote. DO NOT GO TO CHICKEN HOLIDAY. I ordered "extra hot" sauce and the sauce was not hot at all. Please tell me how this place is in business for over 30 years. Not great food and Not great service. I had to go out and get a real lunch. $8.95 plus tax and a real lunch = bad lunch day that cost too much. read more

I think the chicken holiday is much better. The chicken breast I got my mom was 3x the size of the one in Ewing.

Good quality chicken cooked fresh to order. Better flavored chicken than the other local joints, super friendly service, great owner. The place has been running for 30 years and there is a reason for that. read more
