    the inside of a restaurant

    "Underneath a street lamp, I met a southern belle Oh she took me to the river, where she cast her spell And in that southern moonlight, she sang this song so well If you'll be my Dixie chicken I'll be your Tennessee lamb And we can walk together down in Dixieland" (Dixie Chicken - Little Feat) They sure do make some fine chicken here, even if we're well north of Dixie. Welcome to Chicken Joe's, with three locations in southern CT and three more between Albany and the northern NYC suburbs. The first time I had Chicken Joe's was a few years ago. A whole bunch of us were taking the train from New Haven to NYC, and a buddy jumped on the train down in Greenwich to join us. He was toting a big bag of Chicken Joe nuggets which none of us had ever heard of before, and we were all duly impressed with how awesome they were. Joe sells his nuggets a few different ways- alone by the pound, or in combos with a side and a drink. The combo names are a hoot - Baby Special (1/4 lb nuggets), High School Special (1/2 lb nuggets), Bad Boy Special (3/4 lb nuggets) and Godfather (1 lb nuggets). I bought some nuggets for a trip down to Stamford where half a dozen of us were congregating to watch a football game. I went with three Godfather Specials - one with fries ($12.50), one with onion rings ($14.50), and one with cones ($14.50). What's a cone? I've seen it described as a fried potato gnocchi or a fried mini scoop of mashed potatoes. But my wife was right on the money when she said it tasted like a mini potato knish. The combos also came with a can of soda and a whole slew of dipping sauces. Everyone loved the food, really..... it was great. The nuggets are cut by hand and made on site. No frozen nuggets out of a bag here. The chicken was moist and juicy and the coating was crisp and yummy. Joe sells a lot more than nuggets -salads and wings and pizza, fried chicken and seafood plates, hot and cold grinders and wraps, plus breakfasts. It's quite the cool little place, and the food quality, reasonable pricing and good values gives you an idea why Joe has been around as long as he has.

    A friend recommended we visit the original Chicken Joe's and I wasn't disappointed. We went during a crowded time, but the service was quick and efficient, they make sure to keep the line moving. I got the godfather and didn't regret it. The chicken is sooo good. I recommend adding cheese and chili to your order!

    This place is a local favorite that serves up greasy goodness. The big thing here is the "High School Special" in varying sizes-essentially chicken nuggets/strips and fries. But for a small charge (I think $1) you can upgrade to cones which are basically deepfried gnocchi. Crispy in the outside, pillowy-soft on the inside, these things are some special potatoes! The chicken itself was unremarkable and dry however. Basically a watered down version of Garden Catering, these guys copied a fair amount of GC's style (and were in fact sued for it). If you need a grease fix, you could do worse, though.

    Clean and bright with off street parking. Chicken Joe's outdoes the "other" place in every way.

    Just go here. Get nuggets and cones and ask for the 3 sauces and seasoning. And you HAVE to try the Mac and cheese bites.

    So if you're passing by Greenwich and you don't stop by this place, you're doing yourself a disservice.

    Lately I have been on a breakfast kick trying to find great local spots, and I stumbled onto this…read moreplace. It feels hidden in the sense that you could drive right past it and miss it, but once you find it, it is absolutely worth it. There is parking out front which is a plus. Inside, it is exactly what you would expect from a classic mom and pop Italian deli. Small, warm, welcoming, decently lit, and clean. They also have a huge menu with tons of options, not even counting everything available at the deli counter. I took my time looking over the menu and the staff was patient while I decided. I ordered a sausage, egg, and cheese with black pepper on a wedge and a bacon, egg, and cheese lightly toasted on white bread. The wedge was the highlight. Big portion, very filling, and everything tasted fresh and high quality. It was cooked and put together really well. My only small critique is that the bread was very soft and the eggs were falling out a bit, but I also did not ask for it toasted so that may be on me. The bacon, egg, and cheese on white bread was good as well. The only downside was that it was very lightly toasted, almost not toasted at all, and it used bacon pieces instead of strips. Overall, this is an excellent local deli with quality food, generous portions, and a welcoming feel. I would definitely recommend stopping by, and I will absolutely be back.

    Great service & quality food. Breakfast or lunch cannot go wrong…read more Great selection of Italian specialty products as well.

    Stopped in this morning to pick up two sandwiches and a bagel for a 5 hour car ride…read more I should have know better.... I knew better, but got a bagel anyway since I didn't want to drive to the bagel shop for another stop. Asked for the bagel not toasted with butter - since I asked if they were fresh delivered this morning. This bagel was like what you'd get at the airport in the Midwest. It was like white bread with a smear of melted butter. Crap bagel. Ok again I knew better. That's on me Two hours into the ride, it's time for a sandwich - Italian combo, no lettuce. What wasn't listed on the sandwich ingredient list was mold. The provolone was moldy. How did he not see this when making it. I guess he didn't care since he was using all pre-sliced meats at 9:00 am. I get you need to be efficient in a deli, but you should be slicing fresh every day. How old was this provolone that it had mold on it? The other sandwich was made with freshly sliced prosciutto. It was supposed to have pesto on it - little evidence of that. (Although maybe the mold on my sandwich confused the guy thinking he already added green to the sandwiches). Ok. Snide remark but I'm pissed that I spent $35 for two sandwiches and a bagel ;and 2 of the three were inedible. When Corbos was across the street this deli was great. Now not so much. Pass on this place. I couldn't go tell the owner that there was a problem because I was now 2 hours away.

    Great quality food, quick service and friendly staff…read more I ordered the Cajun Chicken Cutlet Caprese wrap and the Eatalian sandwich on a roll. Both very good, ingredients taste very fresh and it was filling. One time we ordered one item and since they didn't have it, they included a sorry note and included some alternatives. Would highly recommend.
