My son had a craving for fried chicken. Off I went to his favorite spot, Church's in Vauxhall. But Church's was too busy. So was Mama's down the street. So I dropped in on Jersey Fried Chicken.
Good, cheap fried chicken. A tad salty. Good shoestring fries. A slice of red velvet cake. My son was quite pleased.
The fried chicken is what you'd expect at an independent joint – far better than any of the commercial brands, obviously. Quick, friendly service, reasonable though limited selection. A lot of what they have available isn't on the menu! (Ice cream, sweet potato pie…) If there is one thing I'm going to order every time I come back, it'll be the mozz sticks. I don't care where they come from, they are delicious and cheap.
Jersey Fried Chicken, New York Fried Chicken, Detroit Fried Chicken…they're all the same.
If you're in the area and don't know what to eat, stop by and get something from here. It's cheap and filling. It's almost exactly the same as NYFC; they sell chicken, gyros, gyro plates, burgers, whiting fish plates, and various sweets. They sell ice cream, too, albeit a limited selection.
I suggest getting a gyro for $3.99. You get a decent amount of lamb/beef mix in a giant pita topped with plenty of vegetables and ranch dressing. If you want chicken, it's a buck extra. Still, I've ordered both and this place makes a decent gyro, much better than NYFC in South Orange. The "buffalo wings" aren't doused in sauce, which I am still looking for, but they're battered and fried; 20pcs is only $13. They're small and can be a bit too salty at times.
There are only two people working, but the food comes out quick. They're open until midnight, if I recall correctly. Don't bother going that late though.

In a pinch, JFC fills a need.
