Very disappointed by how extreme this establishment has raised the prices. They haven't even printed out new menus with the new prices, fuss they know it's that ridiculous. How do you have two individual prices for one item...look at the receipt!!! It should be $3.99 for the small size and $4.99 for the large, but to Combine them....that sounds like Malarky. Make it make sense!!!! Please try to retain your integrity!!!! Sad!!! read more

First time trying this place. I came at 6:00 on a Wed night. Mostly door dash people picking up. I placed my order and the guy says 15 mins because they cook fresh. Ordered 2 piece breast and wing with 2 sides then went in my car and read reviews. Starting we elite then newest reviews and started to get nervous. So, my experience was definitely not that of others. The chicken was perfectly golden and crispy while moist inside. The crust had a peppery undertone to the seasoning that I liked. Broccoli was fresh bright green with a little crunch. Rare to find broccoli that hasn't been overcooked at a take out. Potato and garlic was tasty but drowning in butter. The cornbread was moist and slightly sweet not giving me a dry cough. Not sure about others. But when I go to a chicken joint they better get the fry right (I'm not here for the mac and cheese and someone mentioned). They nailed it tonight maybe because I ordered and picked it up fresh. I'll be back. read more

Fire Roasted Chicken & Grill - Half roasted chicken. Ate half before picture. Delicious and perfectly steamed vegetables - American Near Me - Cedar Knolls, New Jersey

Local shop similar to a Boston Chicken/Market, honestly. 1/2 dark + two sides was around $14. Broccoli w/garlic and butter was excellent. Mac & cheese a far cry from the Boston Market variety... had to put it in the same quality as my high school cafeteria versions that I'd eaten a long time ago. Chicken, while moist, wasn't as flavorful as at Boston Market. Cornbread wasn't bad, though again, better at Boston Market. Overall, have had better, just not as much a fan as others on the team. read more

I wish I could've gave you guys no stars .. don't even deserve a half of one especially not a full one I've placed an order on Uber eats with them and got the worst delivery service I ever had in my life ! I never received any food which I waited over a hour for just for the delivery driver to say he is not meeting me in the lobby of my business ( as instructed on Uber ) he just totally ignored it. This company sent their own driver instead of an Uber driver and one of the reasons the person I spoke to on the phone with said was because using Uber drivers they don't make as much money. I never do things like this like write reviews but for a place that's literally a 12 minute drive from me never even came with the food . Rudest driver I've ever spoke to. Laughed and said he wasn't coming inside . He needs to be disciplined and reprimanded. Very very rude driver they had. I feel like if you guys are on Uber eats why not use the Uber drivers ? Don't use Uber eats or door dash or any other food delivering apps to order from this place I wish I could've gave you guys no stars .. don't even deserve a half of one especially not a full one read more

Ordered online and picked up in-store. Fast and friendly service. The food tasted so fresh and filling. My girlfriend ordered 1/4 dark meat chicken with mashed potatoes and broccoli and I ordered white meat with a side of mashed potatoes and string beans (gravy & sauce came on the side which was much appreciated.) We also ordered a Ceasar salad (dressing on the side) and popcorn chicken. We were so full over our meal that we saved our side orders. Overall, everything was made fresh, and we would definitely try it again. read more

I enjoyed the chicken but not the sides sweet potatoes (soupy) and yellow rice. Cute place I would compare to a low end Boston Market.

I ordered $30 worth of food to be delivered. When the food arrives I was shocked how small the portions were. Let me give you an example. As a side dish I ordered corn bread. I thought, as most people would, that it would be a nice sized square. Nope! If I say it was the tiniest little muffin I had ever seen it would be no exaggeration!! Some food like the chicken was basic but no taste. I could have gone into the supermarket and picked up the same thing. Just be aware of these facts prior to ordering. Maybe you'll have better luck than I did! read more

I was REALLY hoping to love this place because I love a quick service chicken place that has a bunch of sides. I love love places like this where you have the option to be healthy (grilled/rotisserie chicken and vegetable sides) BUT you can also get something a little more fun (fried/crispy chicken). I wanted something that was somewhat in the middle on the health scale. I got a grilled chicken cesar wrap and a side of mac and cheese. Mac and cheese at a chicken place is vital - it needs to be good and you will be judged by your mac and cheese. This is nottttttttt it. So bland, so boring. Tasteless. The noodle consistency was great, but WHERE IS THE FLAVOR. The wrap was also disappointing. Didn't really taste like caesar. Chicken was cooked well and the wrap itself was good, but once again- where is the flavor. People were nice and moved efficiently. Place seemed clean. I'm not sure if I would return. read more

The chicken here is deeelish. The meat is tender and fall off the bone, and it's so juicy and flavorful. Fire Roasted is a lot like Boston Market, but better. Order up a roast chicken and choose from a large selection of sides. There are healthy options, or you can take a heartier route and order things like mac and cheese or creamed spinach. I'm partial to the red roasted potatoes and the garlicky broccoli. Cornbread comes with every meal and is also a fave. In addition to the classic roast chicken / sides, there are a bunch of other options like chicken tenders, burritos, wraps, etc. You really can't go wrong with anything. It's a small quick service joint with no seating areas. Roast chicken and sides are already prepared behind the counter, so everything is ready super fast. For a classic chicken dinner you really can't go wrong. read more

Fire Roasted Chicken & Grill - Half 1/2 Chicken White and Macaroni and Cheese and Creamed Spinach - American Near Me - Cedar Knolls, New Jersey

Juicy birds, fantastic sides and solid cornbread. For 25$ out the door you get a freaking feast. The Macn'Cheez is low brow in all the right ways, the black beans are creamy but begging for some bacon and the creamed spinach binds it all together. The only critique will be the seasoning on the chix skin. It is very basic. Like au natural, maybe just salt and some paprika for color. For you rotisserie puritans this may not foul your fowel.. but I prefer bold flavors. They go so light on the seasoning I need to rely on sauce to give their bird any flavor. Solid showing on the sides saved the meal from mediocracy. read more

Not really sure what all the fuss is about this place. If you're used to bland food that has zero to no taste to it, then you'll love this place! The food is undercooked, tasteless, under seasoned and just plain terrible. I wanted to try a new place for lunch, so I searched Yelp for a recommendation. After reading all of the wonderful reviews, I decided to give this place a try. Although the customer service is great, and the prices are amazing, the food is 100% not good!! Unfortunately I do not recommend this restaurant. read more

Fire Roasted Chicken & Grill - Rotisserie chicken, creamed spinach, sweet potatoes and a corn muffin. It tasted exactly how it looks- TERRIBLE! - American Near Me - Cedar Knolls, New Jersey

Visited this restaurant on a late Sunday afternoon and was curious to taste some BBQ. I ordered the barbecue chicken wrap with two sides (veggies and corn) that tasted fresh and was very pleased with the meal. There were two wrap options, regular and wheat and a good assortment of sides from which to pick. The meal was made within 10 minutes and The wrap was loaded with barbecue sauce. It had a slight tang to it but was good. Bonus points for including plenty of napkins and a fork in the bag. I would definitely visit this place again. read more

I used to order from this place all the time. I loved the quarter dark chicken. The last two times I have ordered, however, the chicken was not up to par. The first time, the chicken did not look or taste fresh. Last week I decided to give them another try and received chicken that was pink from being undercooked. The side dishes were horrible. Not sure what is happening with the quality and consistency of the food but I will not be ordering from them again. read more

Just had takeout from here for the first time. You can tell that everything is made fresh on the premises. The chicken fingers were the best I've ever had!! My husband's Chipotle chicken wrap was also a hit. The only thing I would have liked to see were French fries as one of the included sides. So glad they mailed out menus!!! read more

Overpriced version of Boston market, got a chicken burrito bowl, but the rice was hard and not cooked properly. Had a tummy ache. C'mon guys at these high price points you can't do stuff like that. The rice cost less than $1 to make and you charging $13 for the bowl. The price of this bowl should be closer to $6.99, this isn't chipotle size. read more

Scene: I didn't have time to prepare a lunch. One other coworker was willing to go. We need ideas. We need something close and fast. We find this. I think he had eaten here before. Let's roll with it. This is sort of a hometown Boston Market. It advertises itself as Latin or Latin-inspired, but it's a mishmash of southern, Latinx, and Northeastern. I got a variety of food and present the good, the bad, the wtf: * Chicken: It's in the name, so it has to be the star of the show. And while it was very flavorful and cooked just right, the skin was all moist and icky like at Boston Market. Pollos Pucalor knows how to make a thin, crispy skin on a well-cooked bird. * Cornbread: Sure. Not the best I've ever had, but solid. And yes, I've had bad cornbread. You can mess it up. * Stuffing (side): I was mostly a fan, but it was a bit salty for my liking. It is very thick and bready, and moist. That's how I like my stuffing, but you may or may not. * Creamed spinach (side): Not a fan. It was simultaneously salty and lacked flavor outside of that. It was also very thick, which is good in a stuffing but not good in a creamed vegetable. And yes, I know creamed vegetables are thick by nature. This is really gooey and almost gelatinous. I'd veer to a different side next time. * Green salsa: Avoid it. Do not ask for any. It's totally artificially colored with tiny specks of bright green something, and it doesn't taste good. Verdict: 3.4 stars. It's a solid step up from Boston Market, but like Boston Market, it's clearly geared toward Caucasian tastes. Go down the road to Pollos Pucalor for more flavor and overall better food. But you don't need to throw a fit if you're being dragged here. read more

Got delivery tonight and my only complaint was it took about an hour and a half. To be fair they said it would take 45-hour when I placed the order. The food was very good and highly recommended. Chicken was moist and full of flavor. The sites were great. Will definitely eat there again. read more

Disappointed. We wanted to support a local business. But... the chicken was tiny. Green beans were undercooked. And the watery mashed potatoes were sad and unappetizing. The price is much more than it should be. read more

I've tried so many Fire Roasted dishes. The sides are excellent, all of the protein is fresh and delicious, and it's very affordable for the portion size. I haven't found a dish I don't like. Highly recommend the chipotle chicken wrap meal with two sides. My personal indulgence sides, sweet potatoes and corn. Can't go wrong with the broccoli or creamed spinach either. I like to mix one indulgent side and one healthy but that's just me! read more

The wings were Cold, they were priced high, and the fat content was much too high, not much meat. Also, the wings should've been cooked more. We got the tenders with two sides, mac & cheese and yellow rice. For the price the sides could've been larger. Also the sides, and the tenders, were cold, if we want to make food myself We,ll make it ourself, if We want to order something We hope it would be hot. Look, delivery can cause items to cool down, however nobody wants cold mac & cheese and cold rice. We were very psyched to order and have some fun, the unfortunate result is we got something that was very bland and cold, what a buzz kill. We don't plan to reorder. read more

This place is great for take out and delivery. Unfortunately there's no room for seating. There is also online ordering. I had the Grilled Chicken Platter which came with corn bread and two sides. The grilled chicken was seasoned very well and very juicy. I wish there was a little bit more char on it but I'm sure I can ask them to do that next time around. Their mac n cheese was great and went really well with their cornbread. The cornbread is a little sweeter than I'm used to but it was great. Gonna go back their and try one of their burgers! read more

My original review from now almost 7 years ago was how good the food was. I don't know if the place has changed hands,but wow. This place rightfully bragged about the la frieda formula meat. The problem started w ordering the three burgers we wanted. I ordered a cheddar burger ,which I have gotten in the past, and the person on the phone claimed they never had cheddar, only American ( meanwhile when I picked the order up, it was on their menu displayed). The burgers themselves were almost not edible. They were two tiny patties, nothing like they used to have, like the size of a regular McDs burger. They didn't have the flavor and were dry,almost burned. Honestly it tasted like they cheapened up and went with frozen patties. I can't speak to the rest of the food but the burgers we got ,which used to be their point of pride, were dismal. Looking at the operation of the place I wonder if the original owner has sold out or is not involved, the service was kind of chaotic and looking at the sides they didn't look the same as we had back then. I hope I am wrong, bc there already are too few really good places around, especially burgers. read more

We had high expectations that were absolutely exceeded! From the delicious cornbread, to the sides, the star of the plate was the browned skin, the moistest white meat I've had in a long time and the just spicy enough green fire. Will be back for sure!!! read more

Tried this place today and I ordered Family Meal #7 (whole chicken, 1/2 rack of ribs, cornbread and 2 sides). I can honestly say that I thoroughly enjoyed the food. The chicken was juicy and well-seasoned, the baby back ribs were falling off-the-bone tender and the sauce was tasty. As for sides, I got the creamed spinach (which was a bit bland to my liking but a lil' dash of salt helped) and cornbread was surprisingly good (I say that coz I have family from the south and as you know southerners know how to make em ). Their prices are also very reasonable. I'll definitely come back and support this business again. (Note, they don't have a dine-in area.) read more

Frozen rotisserie chicken. Plus they're insanely rude. They get mad when you come in at the time they say. I've seen the guy pull out frozen chickens just go to the super market or a better chicken place . 3 thumbs down. Just stick to la Rosa. They're just a copy of them anyway read more

Good food. Quick service. I like the moist chicken and corn bread. Food is always ready on time.

I went here, with positive expectations, considering the local popularity and the positive reviews here. I have NOTHING good to say. I ordered the 1/4 chicken (dark) with two sides and a piece of cornbread for $8. For sides, I ordered the Cream of Spinach and the Mac & Cheese. The sides were both not only bland, they were clearly not homemade...just some bulk-purchased Restaurant Depot garbage. The chicken had clearly been pre-cooked, and then reheated. How a place that allegedly specializes in chicken can dry out chicken thigh is beyond unacceptable... The corn bread was so dried out that it crumbled when I picked it up. This place is horrible. read more

i have gone to this location many times. This time the chicken I received was burnt, the cole slaw had turned. I will not be back read more

We ordered DoorDash for our office and since your DoorDash menu does not show creamed spinach and pulled chicken in the menu your website does, we put it in the notes. We actually paid more than the website price for the pulled chicken so it should not have been a problem. They did not follow the notes or even bother to read them. I called and a very rude man in a Spanish voice claimed to be the manager and that they were out of spinach (highly doubtful) and then proceeded to argue with me over the notes that he did not read on the order then hung up when I requested they send a proper replacement or refund. Very rude!!! read more

We've been ordering from Fire Roasted for several years now and their food preparation has definitely gone downhill.
