Its fresh they make all the chicken to order, its seasoned perfectly, its extremely moist, juicy and the crunch is amazing.
My weakness is fried chicken. In my opinion THIS IS THE BEST FRIED CHICKEN I EVER TASTED PERIOD
You can forget about KFC and Popeyes after you have had The Chatanooga style fried chicken from Urban Chicken it will change your life. That is all i have to say about this place.
I would give this place 4.5 stars based on food alone. I do find it a little pricey but the fried chicken is really good. The chicken is really moist. I have started getting the 8 piece. The cornbread is good also. We've ordered the wings as well, not bad but I prefer the fried chicken. You can park in the gravel lot near the front or just try to find some street parking on the side streets.
Super Bowl Sunday and I forgot to get chicken wings! Where do I go? I know… Urban Chicken in Montclair. Simply amazing. Wings are cooked perfectly. Sauces are divine. 24K Gold sauce is to die for. Service was top notch and quick. Small store but large in customers. Will definitely come back in the future.
Walking into this storefront you could be anywhere….. in place of where a giant bilboard menu should be is a blank white board…. the lone table in this takeout joint is completely obscured by old newspapers… the smell of oil is telling… it smells fresh.. and the quiet symphony of bubling goodness in the fryers is music to the ears.
I heart wings. Traditional… breaded.. exotic… jerked… mole'd.. baked, smoked or broiled… I do not descriminate… I prefer them breaded in a spicy BBQ or smoked then grilled, but as I said.. One love when it comes to the bird…
when i ordered they told me they were breaded.. but, they are not. they are "purist wings"… that is… they are traditionally prepared, fried.. no breading.. with a butter/louisiana hot sauce. The wings are plump made to order from fresh, not frozen wings… (places that use frozen wings usually serve them way underdone for me).. as the outside cooks much faster than the center… I ordered mine well done, as Sal Manila is not welcome at my table. The wings were a GREAT representation of the classic buffalo wing. They use good quality wings, and cook them correcly.
I am looking fwd to trying the fried chicken and cornbread on my next visit.
Move over Urban, there's a new top bird in town, and that belongs to Jefferson Cafe. While still putting out a quality product, I have to say that I was more impressed by their competitor on the other side of Bloomfield ave.
Additionally, I ordered a huge batch of wings for a party and was none too impressed. While very large, they were nothing different from their regular wings with a variety of sauces for dipping.
I'm going with 3.5 stars with the round down for being 2nd fiddle in town.
Acceptable fried chicken. Fast, friendly, reliable delivery. I got an 8-piece with fries and mac and cheese. The fries were tasty. The chicken was a little dry at some points, but overall pretty good. Although sometimes the entire skin would come off in one bite. It was even better the next day as this wasn't a problem anymore. The mac and cheese wasn't very good. Will probably order from them again when I have a fried chicken hankering again in 6 months.
I consider myself a true lover of fried chicken, not to say that anyone else isn't. This place claims to be better than the franchise such as popeyes and kfc. After giant getting a chance to try it, I'll have to say that is better than kfc but about the same level with popeyes. I love me some popeyes so this is a good thing.
They're different experiences for your taste buds but both are glorious delights to be had. I'd definitely come back here for another go but my love for popeyes still hasn't been tainted.
The only thing that didn't make it 5 stars, though, was that my taste buds have been spoiled by the best chicken in america. If you ever find yourself in New Orleans, you have to try out Willy Mae's Whisky House. You won't regret it.
Back to this place, though. Try it out because it's some great chicken. You should also try out the cornbread that many other yelpers are talking about. I really enjoyed it even though I'm not a big cornbread person.
Sooo much better than KFC or Popeye's! The fried chicken is so juicy, and was still hot and crispy even after the drive home. The only negative thing I can say about this place is that it's so small and only has two tiny tables if you want to try to sit and eat.
The place itself is really clean, and somehow doesn't have the overwhelming aroma of fried food. You can even see into the kitchen area and the place is immaculate. The chicken is fried fresh for your order, so it doesn't dry out sitting under heating lamps for hours.
Besides the chicken, we tried the pulled pork sandwich, which tasted great. They even grilled the bread a little, giving it a perfect texture. The cornbread, as other reviewers said, is a bit sweet (with a hint of vanilla extract) and I thought it complimented the chicken well. The coleslaw tastes fresh, and unique with the pineapple chunks in there. The mac and cheese is your generic fast food type, but I thought it still tasted better than KFC's. And their 24 karat gold sauce tasted like a variation of honey mustard, mixed with what I think is some vinegar, giving it a nice sweet and sour mix.
I'll definitely be coming back to this place, and maybe I'll give the ribs a try.
