Holy Chick! Mother Cruster!

My wife and I were impressed with the decor, both inside and out. We felt relaxed walking through the door, as we were greeted by an extremely friendly hostess who sat us promptly. The variety that the menu offers makes the selection difficult with the need to return. The food was outstanding, the dirty soda options were fun, and the service was great. Someone had a great idea, and put his money where his mouth is…this restaurant changes the demographics of this part of route 23…we will return for sure…

First time here tonight and WOW—we absolutely loved it! From the start, we were told there would be about a 50-minute wait for food, but a table was available right away, which we were totally fine with. Honestly, the time flew by. Between the games, claw machines (which I definitely couldn’t resist 😄), and TVs playing NFL games, there was plenty to keep us entertained.

We ordered Flight Club with the Eliot, Mother Cruster, Big Dill, and Smoke Show, plus the Chickmate Nashville and Chickmate Hot Honey with signature fries. Everything was incredible. The Eliot and Mother Cruster were my top favorites, but the Smoke Show and Big Dill were right behind them. The chicken was cooked perfectly—crispy, crunchy, and still juicy inside—with bold, delicious flavors. The signature sauce is AMAZING. We honestly didn’t even need the fries, but they were great too.

Dessert sealed the deal. The banana pudding was hands down the best I’ve ever had—fresh bananas made all the difference—and the chocolate shake was fantastic. I also loved the mason jar-style glasses with handles such a fun, unique touch.

What truly made this experience special was the personal service. The owner, Lee, came out to our table to introduce himself and later checked back in to see how everything was. And our daughter even received a cool bracelet, which she loved—such a thoughtful touch for kids. That level of care really stands out. Our server Amanda was attentive and friendly

My daughter can be picky, but she LOVED the Eliot pizza. The pepperoni wasn’t too spicy (huge win!), she loved the pickles, and Lee even brought her her own side of pickles. She also couldn’t get enough of the banana pudding.

Overall great food, fair pricing, welcoming atmosphere, and outstanding service. This place truly gets it. We will absolutely be back!

Holy Chick! Franklin Borough NJ
“A” mazingly delicious - left there so full and ordered more food to bring home for later.
Very cool vibe, excellent food. And the Detroit pizza did not disappoint, already thinking about the next one I want to try. You can even build your own. Great service super friendly staff and the owner, Lee is personable and really knows what he’s doing. We are so grateful to have Holy Chick in our neighborhood. Witnessed other guest devouring their food, chicken and waffles is definitely on my next time list which was highly recommended by the guy at the next table. Took home another staple to eat later, the Nashville Chicken Sandwich n some garlic Parmesan wings. Salads look great as well. A restaurant to frequent often!!
Yay!! — in Franklin.

First and foremost, Lee and his staff are truly changing the industry. I know people will always find something negative to say but how can you criticize a restaurant that quite literally does everything possible to do right by its customers?

Yes, it’s been abundantly busy. Yes, it can be hard to order or even get in the door but that’s not because it’s bad. It’s because it’s that good.

I stopped in tonight for a pickup order and was personally greeted by Lee, the owner himself. My food was ready exactly when they said it would be right on the dot. I got home, unpacked everything to feed my family, and… HOLY CHICK MOTHER CRUSTER. 🤤

I can honestly say I have never had something so unbelievably delicious in my life. Quite frankly, there is not a single place in the tristate area that even comes close to this level of flavor.

I highly recommend being patient, waiting it out, and giving this place the chance it deserves. Let things settle, trust the process, and treat your tastebuds because we simply do not have quality like this around here. I’ll die on that hill.

Thank you, Lee and staff, for the most mouthwatering meal I’ve had in a very long time. We will be back over and over and over again.
10/10 recommend.

Holy Chick truly goes above and beyond. We’ve been here twice already, and every single time the food, service, and atmosphere have been outstanding. On our second visit, they sold out of their Detroit-style pizza within the first 30 minutes of opening, which honestly speaks volumes. Even better, they were kind enough to let me customize a Neapolitan pizza that would’ve been the “Queen B” Detroit style pizza—that level of service is rare and so appreciated.

The food is delicious and priced fairly, and everything we’ve ordered has come out no more than 10 minutes after we placed our order. For anyone saying they waited forever, that has not been our experience at all.

A special shoutout to Lee, the owner—he is incredibly kind-hearted, loving, and hardworking. He greets everyone who walks in and truly makes you feel welcome. You can tell how much care and passion goes into this place.

All the hate this place is getting really shouldn’t be happening until people actually try the food, meet the managing staff, and understand their mission to give back to the community. Their prices are fair and even less than McDonald’s, Burger King, and Wendy’s in the area, and this is fresh food—not fast food.

Holy Chick is doing it right, and we’ll absolutely be back again and again.
