Chicken Joe's Introduce
For Connecticut locals in the Greenwich area, Chicken Joe's in Cos Cob stands out as a true culinary landmark. It masterfully operates as a dual-concept venue—both a reliable 'Breakfast restaurant' and a highly-regarded 'Fried chicken takeaway.' This unique combination makes it an indispensable stop for anyone seeking delicious, high-quality, and fast comfort food at any time of the day. The core appeal of Chicken Joe's lies in its authentic, friendly, and efficient service, creating a casual atmosphere that feels deeply rooted in the community.
The commitment to efficiency is immediately apparent and is highlighted by customers who consistently praise the "Fast service." Even during busy periods, when the line is long, the staff is "quick and efficient," ensuring that patrons are served promptly and can get their "quick bite" without delay.

This personal touch fosters a sense of community, as exemplified by the customer who received a custom "Electrician’s special so good I thought I was on Arthur Ave."
The breakfast offerings are a solid foundation for the day. While famous for their chicken, the status as a dedicated breakfast spot is supported by essential 'Sides' that form the basis of a perfect morning meal: crisp Home Fries for $2.50, savory Bacon for $2.00, and flavorful Sausage for $2.50. Simple, yet crucial, additions like Toast W/butter ($1.00) or Toast W/jelly ($1.25) are also available. This focus on hearty sides suggests a full complement of egg sandwiches and plates available to truly make it a complete breakfast destination.
Moving into the afternoon and evening, the menu offers signature items that have cemented the restaurant's reputation. Their fried chicken is legendary—one reviewer stated plainly, "The chicken is sooo good." Among the fan favorites is the signature 'Godfather' sandwich, which customers recommend customizing with "cheese and chilli" for an extra kick. They are also known as the "Home Of The Flying Wraps," offering five large, satisfying options, including the 'Joey Love Wrap' and 'Big Sal Wrap,' all affordably priced at $6.50.
For a heavier meal, the 'Hot Sandwiches' are a fantastic choice, featuring classics like Steak & Cheese, Meatball Parmesan, Eggplant Parmesan, Chicken Parmesan, and Bbq Boneless Ribs. Meanwhile, those looking for lighter options can select from the 'Healthy Salads,' such as the Roasted Pepper & Mozzarella Salad or the Tortellini Primavera Salad, both priced at $7.49. To finish, the 'Sweet Joes' selection provides an array of indulgent 'Dessert' items, including Fried Brownies, Banana Foster, and Fried Cheesecake.

★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1A friend recommended we visit the original Chicken Joe's and I wasn't disappointed. We went during a crowded time, but the service was quick and efficient, they make sure to keep the line moving. I got the godfather and didn't regret it. The chicken is sooo good. I recommend adding cheese and chilli to your order!
January 03 · Carlos DeschampsStaff very nice and friendly. Great food. Joe served me up an Electrican’s special so good I thought I was on Arthur Ave
September 19 · Doug SteffenUse to work in Cos Cob I remember when HS special's were $5 man where did time go? But still the best spot for food and those Ecuadorians that work there are the best.
July 09 · Diego Duque (Dee)It's my favorite little deli of all time. I grew up with the place and after 20 some years the place remains the same as always, simple good food made with love and care. And in a world dominated by quick apps it's nice to have a joint that's rooted in old school values. I implore you to try the chicken, it's great!!!! PS, the empty bag in the photo shows you how much I love this place, lol!!!
January 24 · 812GUITARSOrdered takeout for lunch, the cones are no longer cones. They are now small balls of deep fried, grape sized potatoe which went in the garbage. (All outer shell, pea sized potatoe) The grilled chicken wrap was also inedible, the chicken was so dry I couldn't chew it. Co-worker also threw hers away.
