Reviews
Literally the best f*cking fried chicken we've ever had! I grew up on this chicken and it's been about 15 years since I've enjoyed this place. On vacation, my boyfriend and I ordered a ton of fried chicken, fried okra, sweet corn fritters with powdered sugar, and fries. Ommggg we can't wait to go back! The fries were meh, but everything else was amazing!
Great lil fried chicken spot. Homemade and very fast. Always try to schedule my trip through Melrose so I am able to stop here. Although fries, twice now, were as limp as spaghetti and really could use a lil more attention to cooking/prepping. The chicken is always tender and juicy and try the chicken fingers sometime, hand cut!!!! Enough room to sit in and eat and avoid the long drive thru line!!!!
Their chicken specials are always so good. Once in a while, I'll get a craving and Fryer's is the only place that'll quench it. Their fried mushrooms are always hot and fresh, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Dipped in their house made ranch...a match made in heaven! Don't forget their gizzards. This place made my NJ-grown husband into a gizzard lover! He'd never tried one before in his entire life, until Fryer's! One yankee down...so many more to convince! Their Mac 'n cheese may be exactly like Stouffer's, but when you just need the cheesiest flavor around...it really hits the spot. I've never eaten inside or any of their sandwiches, so those things I can't report on, but if you're picking up dinner and fried chicken--GOOD fried chicken is what you're looking for? Fryer's in Melrose has got you covered!
The best fried chicken I've ever had! I had the spicy tenders with ranch, fries, and Mac & cheese and it was all delicious! The cashier who took our order was so sweet and patient with us too. I highly recommend when in the area.
Great fried chicken and quick service. Whenever we go there is always a line of cars in the drive thru but don't let that discourage you, Fryer's keeps the line moving.
