    Interior and ice cream counter
    Lin Y.

    I found this place while exploring en route back to the NJTransit station. Rahway is in deep trouble if this is the best fried chicken they can do! The place is no frills, with very colorful menus hanging up. Several tables and an ice cream counter. The chicken is quick and cheap but tastes like it is. I got the two piece mix for $6.40. The chicken was bland and super dry and got caught in my throat several times. I didn't eat it the same day but fried chicken should still hold up and other fried chicken I have tastes good the next day. The bread was hard so I wrapped it in a moist paper towel to reconstitute it in the microwave and it did the trick! It was soft and pillowy and when I took bite I got lots of air and the rest of the bread in my mouth deflated into something that reminds me of woody cellulose dough. I chucked the rest. The service is quick and employee was nice and deserves the stars.

    Crispy on the outside & moist inside!

    Popped in to grab a quick lunch to go. Place was small but clean, sit down seating wasn't available which was unfortunate but understandable for now. Onto the food review! I got the 2 piece chicken with fries and a side of potato salad since the Mac and cheese wasn't available. The chicken was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside so that's a solid 4/5 stars, the fries were the usual easy to make fries nothing special, nothing bad. The potato salad on the other hand was....weird. I think maybe it was a little heavy on the onions, or some other flavor? I can't put my finger on it but it just had a weird taste, not...bad per say but just a little off putting. Plus the chunks of potato were HUGE which leads me to believe that it was homemade or something. Overall it wasn't bad, probably a place I'll try again before I leave, but I think I'll pass on the potato salad this time. ;)

    Damn! This place cooks the worst fried chicken I have ever had.. literally the worst. It was so upsetting I just threw away the rest of my box. Ate 3 out the 10 piece.... I gave it two stars because their cheese fries weren't bad at all. At least that satisfied me...

    Chicken with rice, 2 pc fried chicken with rice, sweet potato pie, pasta salad, 2 white sauce containers and a salad..  So good

    Yes yes yes!!! We have found a place that sells chicken and rice with the white sauce without having to go into the city to find it!!!!! This place is great! Super friendly and Yes, it is a chicken shack, but on steroids! Place looks great and it's in the center of town. Their menu is pretty basic, but I went for the rice and chicken with white sauce. Ohhh yummy! They put the salad in another container so the rice and chicken portion is enormous. It's not salty at all, and it has great seasoning. Ask for extra sauce on the side!!! The fries are so good! Crispy and very tasty. Their fried chicken was juicy and crispy!! Totally going to order here again!! I'm going for the sandwiches next! Take note, Rahway isn't in its best shape just yet, visual wise, but it's growing. The bars, restaurants and new apartments are starting to pop up. Police are present in the area and they don't mind pulling people over lol

    Wow! This Fried Chicken is so delicious! I was craving some fried chicken and started looking up menus on Yelp and stumbled upon this place. I had seen it before but had opted to try places closer to me first. their online menu was really good, easy to read and to access online. The prices were great as well! I placed an order for delivery and my order came earlier then anticipated. We had ordered an 8-piece a fried chicken which came with three roles and two side dishes. We chose the mac and cheese and French fries. The signs are nothing to write about. You come here for the chicken! We were also eyeing up some of their chicken sandwiches as well, which I would assume are also really good. The chicken breading is almost unbelievable. It is so well seasoned and delicious, it leaves you craving more. The quality of the chicken itself is also great! Some places skimp on the quality of chicken and just brought it but this place has great chicken with a delicious and perfectly crisp outside. I'm such a fan of this chicken, I'm hooked on it now! And they do delivery!

    Hot Wings were way too salty to the point where they we're inedible; and if I could have given a zero - I would have. Disappointing.

I called in for a big party, and they did an excellent job with the table-setting & location. Secondly, the food: Their apps are absolute winners. Our table got the Bavarian Soft Pretzel ($12) and the 12-piece wings ($22). Both came out hot and full-of-flavor! Both were excellent with a cold beer. For my main, I actually got a special which was not on their main menu. It was a Fajita Burger served with (you guessed it...) fajita fries. I added jalapenos for an extra kick. It was very good, but the buns are quite thick, so I actually just ate it with the bottom bun intact. The burger patty itself is quite thick which I enjoyed in this current smash-burger phase our world is currently in. Don't sleep on a pub burger. For dessert, it was one of our friends birthday, and as you can see --- they decorated it nicely! Not "they", sorry, Sara - our waitress - did! She was such an awesome server, and communicated very well. Awesome experience + awesome setting + awesome food! Thanks Paragon for doing what you do!

    Visited some friends recently who took us to eat dinner at Paragon Tap & Grill. Before going, they…read moreclaimed Paragon was a great place to get food. From the outside, it didn't look like anything special or a place to rave about but I quickly learned why it was all the talk with them. Since it was a Saturday night, they had a nice crowd and the place itself had a feel of both a sports bar and a brew pub. The one side was more of a sports bar type of feel (or setup) and the other half had more of a brew pub type of feel. After looking at the menu, I decided to go with the healthier choice so I ordered the Drunken Parm Sandwich. I wish I took a picture of the sandwich when it came out because it looked very good and like it was made fresh. Almost immediately, the server came over to me to let me know that they made me real chicken rather than the vegetarian chicken and said she would take it back for the vegetarian chicken. I opted to keep it since I knew there was a chance it would probably get thrown out. I took one bite of the sandwich and I have to say, it was one of the BEST chicken parm sandwiches I've ever had. It was piping hot and tasted fresh. From the chicken, to the sauce, to the bun, it all tasted fresh and practically melted in my mouth. It was a little on the salty side but aside from that, it was made to perfection. To top the night, as we were paying the bill, our server Maya (who was very friendly and tentative during our visit) handed me a take out container with the veggie chicken parm sandwich in it AND the general manager Greg came over to me to apologize for the mistake and said the veggie chicken parm was on the house. It's very rare for me that this happens. I wish I lived closer to Paragon so I can go back more often but believe me, I'll be back there for drinks and dinner next time I'm in the area. I highly recommend going there. Their service, food, and drinks will not disappoint.

Whether it's at the bar or a table outside try to make a reservation to secure your seat. One of the times I went was on a Wednesday and the place was packed our wait was about 20 mins and it was well worth it. The menu changes daily so don't go back expecting to get the same thing you ordered the last time. To be quite honest of all the items I ordered two did not stand out although sounding promising The lobster roll, the bread was mediocre and the filling was scarce. The pizzette was also ehhh. Nothing impressionable. However the oysters, fully dressed and ready for consumption were pops of freshness and flavorful jellies exploding in your mouth. The corn was a nice touch. The mussels were in this sauce that was to die for. Full of garlic and creaminess paired with about 3 slices of sourdough bread perfect for soaking. The crostini appetizer, drooling thinking about it. Prosciutto with honey and mozzarella is the best combination.now for the chicken Milanese. Perfectly crisp with tomatoes I'm not sure what they put in the salad but delicious! Overall it's worth a happy hour with great deals. And even the dinner entrees are worth the visit. Third time back will be soon.
