Every summer we visit family, and my son insists on getting Chicken Joe's at least once!
Chicken is all he eats, and this is one of his favorites!
We will back next summer! -

"Underneath a street lamp, I met a southern belle
Oh she took me to the river, where she cast her spell
And in that southern moonlight, she sang this song so well
If you'll be my Dixie chicken I'll be your Tennessee lamb
And we can walk together down in Dixieland"
(Dixie Chicken - Little Feat)
They sure do make some fine chicken here, even if we're well north of Dixie.
Welcome to Chicken Joe's, with three locations in southern CT and three more between Albany and the northern NYC suburbs.
The first time I had Chicken Joe's was a few years ago. A whole bunch of us were taking the train from New Haven to NYC, and a buddy jumped on the train down in Greenwich to join us. He was toting a big bag of Chicken Joe nuggets which none of us had ever heard of before, and we were all duly impressed with how awesome they were.
Joe sells his nuggets a few different ways- alone by the pound, or in combos with a side and a drink. The combo names are a hoot - Baby Special (1/4 lb nuggets), High School Special (1/2 lb nuggets), Bad Boy Special (3/4 lb nuggets) and Godfather (1 lb nuggets).
I bought some nuggets for a trip down to Stamford where half a dozen of us were congregating to watch a football game. I went with three Godfather Specials - one with fries ($12.50), one with onion rings ($14.50), and one with cones ($14.50).
What's a cone? I've seen it described as a fried potato gnocchi or a fried mini scoop of mashed potatoes. But my wife was right on the money when she said it tasted like a mini potato knish. The combos also came with a can of soda and a whole slew of dipping sauces.
Everyone loved the food, really..... it was great. The nuggets are cut by hand and made on site. No frozen nuggets out of a bag here. The chicken was moist and juicy and the coating was crisp and yummy.
Joe sells a lot more than nuggets -salads and wings and pizza, fried chicken and seafood plates, hot and cold grinders and wraps, plus breakfasts.
It's quite the cool little place, and the food quality, reasonable pricing and good values gives you an idea why Joe has been around as long as he has. -

Was visiting friends in Greenwich and needed a quick bite. We ended ordering the Mac bites, Buffalo Fries, which consisted of fries, their buffalo nuggets and little pieces of Celery. We also got a grilled chicken with lettuce tomato honey mustard and cheese, which was very tasty. Definitely a take out place, there are two seats on a counter facing the window.

My favorite deli in the area! Great sandwiches, salads and coffee. Always good conversation while waiting.

This place is a local favorite that serves up greasy goodness. The big thing here is the "High School Special" in varying sizes-essentially chicken nuggets/strips and fries. But for a small charge (I think $1) you can upgrade to cones which are basically deepfried gnocchi. Crispy in the outside, pillowy-soft on the inside, these things are some special potatoes! The chicken itself was unremarkable and dry however.
Basically a watered down version of Garden Catering, these guys copied a fair amount of GC's style (and were in fact sued for it). If you need a grease fix, you could do worse, though.
