Plainly: fantastic fried chicken. Seasoning is great, their chicken is juicy inside. They have a few different cuts and you can actually order between thighs and drumsticks which is great for those with preferences! Location might seem a bit out of the way but honestly great to walk all that friend chicken. Good amount of indoor seating, they even have a bar section. it wasn't loud when we visited but there weren't a ton of people either. Service was fairly fast. Try their mac & cheese, you'll love it!

That's it - game over. Whatever other fried chicken place you were thinking, forget that. Bob White's Counter is a hidden gem in Paulus Hook, just steps from the water. True to its name, there is a line of stools by the counter you can eat, but there are also indoor and outdoor tables. The food is just fantastic. Made to order, the chicken comes out piping hot, with a crispy exterior and is moist within. The biscuit is a mouthful of heavenly fluffiness. And I can't say enough about the collard greens. Otherwise, the establishment is a warmly lit place, with a simple menus that sticks to the classics. This *is* a fried chicken place - that's is what they do and do best. Don't come here asking for a burger. I hope nothing ever changes.

Great experience here. Lovely location tucked away in a quieter residential section of Jersey City. Close to the water offering some amazing views of the NYC Skyline along the Hudson River. Be sure to make time for a walk before or after you eat. Parking can be tough but we were able to find a spot two short blocks aways on a Saturday afternoon. Ordered tenders, fries and sides. Food came out in about 10 minutes. Prices are a bit more expensive than "fast food" but worth it. Tenders, fries, biscuit and a drink will cost about $16ish. Everything was very good...definitely a few steps above fast food places. The space was clean and well-maintained. There are lots of board games separated by age ranges from toddler to adult...comes in very handy for those with kids. All staff we encountered were very nice.

Finally got around to ordering from Bobwhite and it was absolutely delicious. They really do have some of the best chicken strips I've had in the area. The quinoa salad and cookies were a great accompaniment to my meal as well. They have a lot of delicious things on the menu and I can't wait to try even more. I highly recommend the grilled chicken sandwich, if you're looking for a healthier option. And definitely get a side of pickles. They're out of this world and you'll be glad you did.

I was told by my co-workers that I HAD to eat here. They were not lying. The place is standard looking burger joint but the service is fast and the staff are super friendly. Now the food. The food was seasoned for the GODs. I got the tender box with the biscuit and man dipping it in the bobwhite sauce was heaven , the biscuit was fluffy and soft. The mac & cheese felt like I came from a cook out. They seasoned the heck out of those noodles cause good lord I enjoyed every bite. The price was reasonable and the store felt open and spacious but nothing too spectacular . Highly recommend if you want some delicious food for a reasonable price.

Delivery review! (Also on a very rainy gross day) used UberEats, driver was excellent but food did arrive cold. Threw all the food in oven for a quick broil and it was great! Loved the chicken sandwich, fries and thigh/drum stick. Also the chicken fingers and sauces, very good. Biscuit was also good. We were impressed- would definitely order again! Dare I say better than Popeyes?

Finally crossed this place off the list to try. I've been meaning to come to bobwhite and get myself a chicken Caesar salad wrap and it's truly something I never had before. There's croutons which gives it a crunch. You got your fried chicken chunks and it's drizzled in ranch dressing, what's not to love? I also ordered the chipotle ranch fried chicken and unfortunately that was average. It wasn't saucy enough and the fried chicken was too dry and not nearly as juicy as others I've had. Verdict for me is to skip the sandwich and get the wrap. ---- I came back a week later and tried their Buffalo chicken sandwich and they truly redeemed themselves. This one was saucy throughout and not just a little dollop on the corner. Absolutely much better than the chipotle ranch I had last week. Must get!!

My nephew lives near this restaurant in Union Square, Manhattan, NY and said we need to try them out and that we wouldn't be disappointed. Oh he was right! I throughly enjoyed my food! This southern style chicken spot is exactly what I needed. Way better than most chicken sandwiches I've had including the over-rated Chick-fil-A. The chicken sandwich was the right size, the right flavors that really hit the spot. I combined the sandwich with their mac & cheese and a sweet ice tea which was amazing. My meal was pretty effing good...thanks nephew! Their menu also includes buckets of chicken, chicken strips, buffalo chicken sandwich, black-eyed peas, fries, coleslaw, desserts, etc. Another thing I love is that you come in and order your food and your food is ready pretty fast. You have the option of sitting inside, which is very limited, or sitting outside. This is a small restaurant just like everything else in the area. I saw a lot of people pick up and go which is always an option if you live nearby or are in a hurry. The service was friendly and quick. This will definitely be one of my go to spots when I'm back in the city.
