Grabbed dinner from here recently and thought it was a good deal! We got the Dinner for 2, which cost ~$25 and included 8 pieces of fried chicken, a side of macaroni salad, a side of mashed potatoes, and two rolls. I ordered ahead and they actually gave me an accurate time estimate (20 minutes), which is always nice. I wouldn't say the inside of the restaurant is particularly well decorated or comfy, but eh, I don't think it needs to be. Everything seemed sanitary, which is the most important thing. Overall, I would definitely come back here to get some fried chicken!

Recently moved to Allentown and decided to stop by. My boyfriend and I love this place! Our favorite is the butterfly shrimp and fried chicken. They also have some pretty good fountain sodas. Can't go wrong here.

We absolutely love Chicken Holiday!!! We had to travel to/out of town and as a family we were able to try many different combinations at Chicken Holiday. I have to say we loved them all. Everyone's so nice and welcoming at the place--we love it!!!

Came in while we were doing our laundry a couple doors down. MADE A TERRIFIC CHOICE. Their ribs were flavorful! They also had fried Mac and cheese bites that was sent out to my son. Shout out to two awesome guys working this morning! I love some good crispy fries and they were the crinkle kind too. We had it with a side of mash and it was soft and didn't have any lumps. We also ordered some mozzarella sticks that was cheesy and again super crispy. Just the way I like it. My SO got a delicious turkey hoagie. We ended up bringing the hoagie home with some fries and one rib. Overall a terrific meal and wonderful customer service. We'll definitely be back!

I have two enduring complaints about this place. First: it would be nice if they had a proper website, with a menu and prices. Their website, listed here, is dead. Second: I hate mayonnaise salads, and most of their combos come with a choice of either macaroni or potato salad. It's an upcharge to get fries instead, which is lame, but worth it so I don't have to deal with the horrifying tub of goo in my bag. And their fries are pretty good, too! Now that is out of the way... Many years ago, my sister worked at Chicken Holiday in Howell, and my favorite nights were when my mom decided not to cook, called my sister at work, and asked her to bring home an assortment of chicken, ribs, and sides. With such fond memories, I have no good excuse for waiting so long to check out the Hamilton location. I'm sorry. I really am. I don't understand the negative reviews: I'm not sure if they caught the employees on a bad night, or if the reviewers were expecting haute cuisine, or what. But I'm baffled by those reviews at the moment. For now, this place is in our regular rotation, so I may learn of a problem, but for now, "Yay, I'm a fan." Chicken Holiday is not the type of place you'd bring a date; there's no need to dress up. They aren't competing with Settimo or John Henry's, but rather, KFC (which now appears to be defunct); it's a welcome alternative to pizza or burgers on a night you don't want to cook. My son and I have picked up dinner here several times in the last month. We both become giddy on the way over, and the ride home is torment while we wrestle to control our impulses against the aromas in the car. The staff is friendly and efficient; they care about satisfaction, and want to get the order right. Today, we ordered for a crowd, and it was the first time we've had a slightly imperfect order - nothing egregious, not a deal-breaker, but worth nothing. Only one meal came with a dinner roll, which was a bummer because they are delicious - we should have had several. But, in the interest of diplomacy, CH staff members were dealing with a difficult customer, who kept walking behind the counter, and helping himself to ice; pestering the staff for things like one chicken finger, cut into small pieces, and 6 French fries, etc. He was relentless, and I would not have known what to do with him either, in the staff's shoes. But the result for us was a distracted team and a meal was a little tight on value. Quality-wise, though, no complaints at all. I know what it takes to make good fried chicken. It is not easy or quick, except, perhaps, in the places that mass-produce it, like KFC. Chicken Holiday makes everything to order, so don't expect KFC speed. Chicken Holiday chicken is juicy when it should be, and crunchy where it ought to be. I love their fried mushrooms, and my son loves their whole wings with buffalo sauce. It makes me happy to know we have a few wings - buffalo and regular - leftover in the fridge for lunch tomorrow! We'll definitely be back soon.
