The employees are so helpful and sweet! Jose is extremely considerate and gives the best customer service! Anthony is so sweet and friendly he is always willing to help as much as he can. The store is extremely clean and the food is consistently excellent! Chicken and waffles are sooo good!

Decent chicken joint. The food was good, kind of odd texture tho, the fingers were very soft. The signature sauce was weak, not much flavor. Cajun fries were good. Decor was eye catching and hand painted. Friendly staff. I'll go again and try the poppers next time.

Pretty good crispy tenders with a large variety of very unique sauces. All the food was very quick too. It's just a little pricey for a fast food type place but it's still pretty good food. I would consider coming back.

We ordered for the first time. Delivery. Chicken tenders were ok, same as their house sauce. We thought it would have more flavor. Overall, good but not sure about ordering again.

We used a delivery service. The food was very good fresh and crisp. Not soggy like other delivery places we’ve used. I would recommend you giving them a try for real chicken options.

I feel like its a bit pricey for what you get but it was good. I really liked the sauce that came on the side!

I ordered on the website for pick-up which was super easy. We ordered a Medium Crunchy Finger Basket, Small Grilled Fingers and a side of purple slaw with Mac Sauce, General Sticky, Sticky's Sauce, and buttermilk baby ranch. Both the Crunchy and grilled fingers were delicious and filling! The Mac Sauce was a favorite. The slaw could use some flavor. Service was friendly and efficient. I overall recommend.

Love the chicken and waffles!!! Hot honey thighs too. This is the 2nd time we had the loaded Mac n Cheese Fries. I wouldn’t order them again…

Right off of the highway- quick service, good for takeout and dine-in. Sad since the last time I went to a Sticky's the sauce containers shrunk :( - Thai Fiesta: 4/5, a bit on the sweeter side. Chicken was coated with the glaze, and ordered Cajun fries which only got a slight dusting of the seasoning - Lemon Garlic Aioli: 5/5, my favorite sauce. Can't go wrong with garlic aioli with a bit of a tang! - Honey Hot Sauce: 3/5, too sour, and suddenly a sweet punch - it does not mix together well Go to Sticky's for the sauces, not the chicken itself...

Took the drive thru to get the Thai fiesta which I have to say, it's very tasty! Just to warn everyone, it's a messy dish . Definitely need a fork and knife to eat but it's supplied to you. I also ordered the Cajun fries which paired well with this order. Just full of flavor! I haven't stopped inside but drive thru is so easy and quick.

I was already on Route 22 when I decided to pull up to the Sticky's Finger Joint drive-thru. I've seen Sticky's locations around for a while, but never gone in. The drive-thru option and curbside appeal of the Union's shop tempted me though - It's something with their Route 22 island situation and the old school vibe of the exterior (though the chain is relatively new - established around 2011). I ordered a 12pc chicken popper combo with classic fries. I got sticky sauce and cray sauce. Pretty good and the crisp held up a 20 minute drive. In my mind, I was thinking I would get what I saw on the promotional pictures, but it makes sense to just get dipping sauces in little separate containers for portability. If I go to Sticky's again, I'll try walk-in/dine-in to see if there's a difference.

The chicken was perfectly fried and looked good but lacked seasoning & flavor! I thought maybe dipping it the sauce would help, but the sauces lacked flavor too. The lemonade was watery and had a weird taste to it. My meal from Sticky's Finger Joint left me disappointed and my wallet was not happy about it. I went on a Tuesday during lunchtime and the restaurant was completely empty. A empty restaurant on Rt 22 during lunchtime is unheard of, so I should've known something was up. The girl that took my order was nice and friendly, and the restaurant was spotless. I ordered 5 chicken tenders with fries and a strawberry lemonade. The fries were the saving grace because they were crispy and seasoned well. If you like bland fried chicken, you'll love this place! If you decide to stop here for some eats, be sure to ask for salt and pepper 'cause you're going to need it.

This place is amazing. I come in and the food comes to me as fast as any fast food place but feels handcrafted and fresh. The clean tables and nice and helpful employees give this place a 11/10 in my Book on service quality. Brandon was specifically working today. If the manager sees this, Brandon is the best fast food employee I ever encountered. We Brandon -Those 3 random kids that came in on 2/28/24

I actually love this place. Maybe because I'm such a fried and chicken lovin' gal, lol. I'm such a sucker for a nice, good and tasty dipping sauce to go with it. As you seen in the pictures, I got the Sweet Thai Chilli sauce. The meal I got was the 7pc Fried Chicken Poppers with French fried; with a little razzle dazzle of parsley. I didn't go in. Rarely ever do, but the girl who works the Drive-Thru window was very kind. She always is. Another guy took my order and didn't do me right and she took it amongst herself to fix it for me; which I greatly appreciate.

Drive past this location often so decided to give it a try. Food: I decided to go with the chicken and waffles. It comes with chicken popers and pieces of waffles mixed together with chilli peppers and maple glaze type sauce. The chicken bites tasted kind of dry but everything mixed in togther overall was ok. Service: Upon entry the staff completely ignored the guest (me & a few other customers came in st samentime) because there was little boys in their that were flirting with them so finally when I took it upon my self to greet them and try to start my order as there was just 3 girls standing around behind the counter 1 girl looked at me and said wait and walked off then came back.

Loved the grub I got from here. Nice grilled chicken tenders with some awesome fries. Also, got the crispy chicken tenders and those were good too. Over all good food and service!!!

Absolutely excellent! Didn't know what to expect but the chicken was delicious! We tried the wings and multiple sauces that was equally awesome.

3 words ! Chicken Fries Destin This sticky's has been open for a while but being a work from home girl I didn't know until one day my husband was on his way home from work and asked if I wanted it. I said sure but had so many sauce choices I just went with bbq sauce. Well last week I stopped in..and being a "foodie" I had a MILLION questions and this guy answered everyone. He and his coworker laughed at and with me but never made me feel like I was doing too much. Shoutout to the other guy as well I think his name started with a J but I could never forget the name Destin. Great name for a great guy at a great restaurant with great food!

Best chicken fingers in the world. Always hot and fresh. Whenever we order the whole family loves it.

Yelp
First time here might be my only time here.. I guess I would recommend the chicken fingers and fries with the (Caribbean heat sauce) Counter service - ok Wait time - didn't wait at all Food - just some regular chicken and fries but the sauce made it taste a lot better...I think it comes down to which sauce you pick.. Overall I wouldn't come back..but if someone told me they were get it I would give them my order

Stuart T.

Yelp
Wow this chicken is really delicious, didn't believe they could actually improve on fried tenders and poppers, but from the tenders juicy chicken perfectly fried to a never before tasted, crispiest yet not greasy or h act batter, this was really unexpected. Absolutely decadently delicious. I had it as a basket, asked for them to make my chicken with two sauces half and half which seemed to confuse and surprise the Man behind the counter, but I thought it naturally a thing to want to try multiple sauces on this fantastic chicken, and I'm really glad I did. I tried the Asian barbecue, and the Caribbean sweet heat sauces as well to dip the fries in and a little bit extra on the chicken which turned out really fantastic, the sauces are very good they've taken extreme care to blend delicate fruity flavors that are not overpowering and sticky like the name on the sign says but more like a sauce that really complements it and sinks well into this batter yet stays crispy. I definitely will return.

Was craving chicken tenders and decided to give sticky's a try. The crew was friendly. The food was warm and fresh. The chicken has an interesting consistency. When you bite into the chicken strips, it comes apart in chunks instead of shreds. Wasn't really a fan. The chicken was crispy, but sitting in the box made it a bit soggy. The fries were my absolute favorite. The spicy cheese was delicious. The fries had the perfect crunch as you bite in. One major suggestion I have is that they label their sauces. We wanted to try a variety but weren't really sure which was which. A lot of the sauces are a Mayo base, and it seems as if the sauces are more mayo than whatever seasoning they add. Glad I checked it off my list to try, but don't really see myself going back for anything besides the fries.

Been going to this place since it opened, their Chicken & Waffles are great! The mushroom poppers are delicious. But like, for some reason they have a tendency to mess up on the fries orders, just the classic fries, the other ones, the specialty fries, they take care of. With the Classic Fries, and this is my gripe, they have forgotten either to put it with my food, or it's like this time, where it's not nearly as filled up as it should be. It's such a weird situation because they're just fries! They're not difficult lol. Idk what it is, but I won't be buying the fries from them anymore, it just ain't worth the 5 DOLLARS for a bunch of regular fries if every damn time I have to check! And I'm only 5 minutes away from them!

New chicken finger spot on Rt 22 where the Liberty Travel used to be. Just take out for now because of Coronavirus. As far as chicken- they have tenders and crispy bites . You can add regular or Cajun French fries if you want They also have sandwiches I tried the crispy bites. They were pretty good. Depending on the size is how many sauces you can get. Not sure if you can purchase more . I tried the Thai sweet chili and the buffalo balsamic maple( sounds like maybe too much but it's a pretty good buffalo sauce) . I saw that they have sandwiches too ---- So I went back and tried the tenders and I liked them much better. I also tried the honey mustard sauce and I think I like that one best so far :)

This spot just opened up not too long ago and I wanted to give it a try. I parked in their private parking lot when I arrived. I walked it and there were about two people ahead of me. I ordered the small chicken fingers, cajun fries and a drink. It came to $12. There was so many different sauce flavors but I got the sweet thai chili sauce. When I got home I took the food out and they gave me poppers instead of tenders and the poppers looked skimpy. I was not happy about this. The taste was good though and the sauce was good as well.

Go here if you want to risk getting salmonella poisoning. I ordered from UberEats and not only did my order arrive ICE cold and soggy, it wasn't fully cooked, which is NOT what I ordered. You cannot play around with serving poultry par-cooked. This is how you get people sick. I tried this place for the first time and I will never do it again.Please practice appropriate food and safety behaviors and sauces.

Basic chicken/ chicken fingers. Not bad....but not memorable. Good for a quick lunch.

Meh, nothing special and I'm disappointed! I used to order from this place (not this location but the Brand) when I worked in NYC, and they was always delicious and on point! But when I came here, out of my way, on that blasted Rt 22(insert angry face lol), I was expecting it to be the same , and it wasn't. Shoulda went to McDonald's, yeah you heard me right! Nuggets I ordered were cold, and the chicken sandwich just was corny. Never again... Wasn't necessarily "bad", but far from "good" However, the dipping sauces were still very good! I love Thai chili and General Tso's! And there are MANY to choose from! Good enough to take a layer off of Hangry x-p

My meal and service was so good the other day I decided to go back today. I got the Thai Fiesta chicken fingers with Cajun fries. Thanks Destin for another great suggestion! I must be lucky to get this young man again. Very courteous and helpful. Destin, you are appreciated.

We've ordered here twice now. I do love all the different dipping sauces, but the chicken is a bit weird in texture. I wouldn't order here again sadly. Interesting sauces though.

Ashley F.

Yelp
Pathetic. I've enjoyed stickys before but i will never be back after today's visit. Ordered grilled fingers over lettuce. When i arrived my online order was ready but the employees were not at all helpful and avoided eye contact with the numerous guests waiting for either online orders or to place orders at the line. When i got my food, the white takeout box was dirty and covered with food on the outside, this is not a good look at all. When i opened the box, the grilled fingers were black, very overcooked and there was no bed of lettuce under them. I also asked for napkins and utensils to be added to the bag and there were none. They literally got everything wrong. I do empathize with you that hiring is impossible these days, but still, maybe training could help??

I personally like this place. Not a huge array of options but you definitely have choices. My only complaint is they never label the sauces and there's so many to choose from but honestly, an initial or something would be helpful. Sometimes there is a certain sauce you're trying to avoid but love another and they both look alike. Can be daunting. My kids love the Sassy BBQ, Smores Sauce and I'm a fan of the Cray and Chipotle Aioli sauce. They despise the sweet Chilli sauce though I'm not sure why but they all agreed lol Their chicken is always freshly fried and tender juicy and large quantities. This isn't your average thin, flat, flavorless chicken nug from a local vendor. No. This is a moderately chunky, juicy flavorful piece of chicken. So filling, three strips and fries is enough to fill my teenage boys. The medium crunchy poppers with fries is enough for me to split with my daughter. I love their mushroom poppers as well. I love mushrooms and really enjoy the texture and option of having these. If you're going to get some fries with your order I really would suggest the s'mores fries! If you're a fan of sweet and salty this is the jackpot. My boys like the bacon cheddar and the Parm fries as well. So, far, I think this is a great comfort food option.

I keep telling myself that I would take a photo of the food for the review, but I always end up wolfing my food down before I can remember! This place is the truth! I've driven past Sticky's countless times when traveling on Route 22, but last weekend that all changed when my mom and I decided to try it out after seeing a billboard for Sticky's at the mall. We loved our food so much that we came back again for lunch yesterday! We both had the original sandwich, but I tried a different sauce with mine. I really loved the vampire garlic aioli on the sandwich, it was delicious. Their house made pickles and purple slaw give the sandwich texture and the right amount of crunch that the sandwich needs. I love how they have 18 different sauces to try, so each time their dishes can have a different spin with the flavors! The buffalo balsamic maple sauce is must try, as well as an order of their truffle parmesan fries, but their regular fries are also really tasty. They are crispy, hot and fresh, which is exactly how I love my fries. One order of truffle parmesan fries is enough for two people, which I learned the hard way when I was too full to eat them! The mango mint splash juice is house-made and is full of mangoey goodness and not a lot of pulp, which I love. I am so glad I decided to try it out last week, I am officially a fan! This place is a must-try if you love a good chicken sandwich as much as I do!

Well thought this place would been much better then other spots but it was just average not the worst chicken spot I had but not the best ! I had the three piece tenders with fries for about 9 bucks ! The chicken in side was very good but the outside was soggy! That ruin the whole deal . Maybe they make so much chicken and it sit there causing it to become soggy . The fries were avg. nothing to write home about and there home made sauces were ok the ranch was no that good compared to the outbacks or chucks chicken in Trenton nj . The place had a lot of parking and located in the center island of Rt22 very busy so getting in and out of the lot can be tricky. The girl was pleasant to deal with and place appears clean and updated. Staff was wearing masks properly not like most businesses the staff just has them over there mouths only .

Nice and Good Chicken Place. I tried 3pc chicken fingers, popper and chicken Sandwiches. Simple and easy and good price!

Poor presentation for the mushrooms in addition, ordered 8 only received 7. Chicken definitely needs sauce otherwise extremely bland. Definitely didn't meet my expectations wouldn't recommend. Overpriced and under flavored.

Chris A.

Yelp
I ordered online, I passed this place while driving and it looked really cool from the outside. I picked up my order, friendly people inside. I got the 4 piece chicken with fries. The chicken had a Thai chili sauce on it. The sauce was good but the chicken itself was delicious. Some of the best i'd had and the fries were crispy and soft in the inside. Definitely gotta try this place!

Yum! !!!!!!!Yum!!!!!!!Great sauces with juicy chicken!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'd go again......you should try it!

this review is for the Sticky's on 45 & Lex I ordered the chicken thighs the 8 piece omg the worse. the chicken was days old and disgusting. I will never spend my money at the Stickeys on Lex and 45 ever again. The food is not freshly made.

Bella M.

Yelp
The chicken is really good! I wish they used real melted cheese instead of cheese sauce on their fries though. I'm not a fan of the cheese sauce and tossed my fries w bacon and cheese because of it. The mushroom bites are decent but fries were all soggy. Try the different sauces!

Damyra P.

Yelp
Very Basic! Not impressed at all but I guess that was just my expectation. Don't get me wrong there was nothing wrong with my food. But if your a foodie & look for great spot as a "chicken joint" this place isn't top 10 ‍ I didn't take photos but we got the chicken & waffle which was actually very good. Tasteful & delicious for a dessert option. We also got the basket 16 piece with fries with the Sticky Sauce, Honey Mustard, Thia (best)

Michael H.

Yelp
This place needs to be closed down the chicken is horrible very dry no taste the sauce is not worth it horrible and over priced everything is over priced I see why this location never has business and they are on the busiest route 22 in union but it's always empty and why do they have a drive threw it's pointless no one goes there they seriously need to step rhey game up or close down why would they open up literally right by a chick fila beyond me if I could give this dump zero stars I would

Vanessa N.

Yelp
I was so excited to try their food i ordered three items i ordered mushrooms they breaded it in cornmeal and that ruined the taste my food was completely cold I could handle that, I can honestly say the fries were the only thing that tasted good Needless to say I won't be ordering again

Ryan P.

Yelp
Let me start by saying they definitely aren't shy with their prices. After seeing the price for a tiny chicken sandwich and fries I proceeded to ask the cashier if I broke a window in the joint that I was not aware of. For the price you pay you would think the chicken sandwiches would be bigger. The best part about the sandwiches are the sauces and toppings that you can get on them. There is a bright side to all this though, if you are backed up and can't seem to get a proper bowel movement going then your in luck; this place is definitely for you! If you eat here I can guarantee you will get a free colonic here that will last about two days and it will save you a trip to the doc and some insurance money. Good luck fellow yelpers... P.S... only people who stocked up on massive amounts of toilet tissue for the quarantine should eat here, beware.

Crispy chicken and fries and lots of tasty sauces! Most importantly is that the staff was friendly and helpful. Thanks guys!

The Chick-Fil-A down the road has a real contender in Sticky's. Chicken quality is equal if not greater but comes in way more creative forms. You can't go wrong with their classic tenders with sauce on the side, but I'd recommend taking things to the next level with the Thai fiesta signature. Start with your chicken form (poppers or fingers) and then have it drizzled with sweet chili, Mac sauce, taco seasoning, and sesame seeds. Like many of their menu items, it's a bold and unusual mix of flavors that work perfectly together. If you are hesitant, don't be shy about asking to sample sauces or a signature creation. The staff are pretty trigger happy about letting you try anything. I wasn't the biggest fan of 2 of the sauces I tried but they do have over a dozen so there's something for everyone. It's not unusual to go to Chick-Fil-A and wait 20 minutes, but I was out the door at Sticky's in under 10 minutes during both visits even with several guests ahead of me. I would have liked to dine in, but that's unfortunately off the table at this time in NJ. The store was really clean and decorated with cool graffiti art. Will be back many more times!

Fries and juice was good shot the sandwich in the garbage. Staff was cool and decent sandwiches was just trash

I left Jersey for about 3 months and came back to a new GEM! The Thai fiesta was so good. The Mac sauce was everything. My boyfriend had the General Sticky's Tso bit he ate it before i could take a picture. i will definitely be going back, everything was great from the chicken to the fries. Lots of flavor, would recommend trying it out!

Steven F.

Yelp
The chicken is very good. The service is absolutely horrible. I waited 10 minutes on the drive in line with one person ahead of me who did not have a large order. The folks working here are a bit rude and don't seem to value customer service. Better management at this location is needed.

I'm on a very restricted diet and when I saw they had grilled chicken tenders, I figured I'd give this new place a try. When the order arrived it was not grilled but fried. Can't eat it so it was a $10 for some wilted lettuce. Won't be ordering for this place again.

At what point did it start to be ok for restaurants to have hip hop playing so loud you couldn't communicate with the staff? Not to mention it's the original unedited versions. No parent or most adults want to walk in and here N this N that, F this F that! Not very professional! Let's get on to the food. Don't order on grub hub. They charge you $2 more per item on grub hub than at the restaurant! That's so crazy and disrespectful especially when they are already over priced. I got the spicy chicken sandwich. They put so much of the 2 sauces that the bread was soaked and mushy. I decided to eat it without the bread. Chicken wasn't bad. The Nashville hot sauce was good but whatever the other sauce was there was too much of it and it wasn't needed. I don't plan on going back but if i do i would order the hot chicken with only the Nashville hot sauce! French fries were nothing special. Not worth getting. Paid $11 for a below avg meal but I did get to hear the latest rap song with the cursing and racial slurs! About 100 feet up in the same center aisle is chick fil a. Just go there. The food is 10x better and the entire experience will be better, kid/ family friendly and you will get way more for your money! The only reason they get 2 stars instead of 1 is the place was clean, service was semi fast and the staff seemed nice!

Decided to give Sticky's Finger Joint a try for lunch. Placed order via Uber Eats. I ordered classic wrap and side salad. My order arrived quickly and everything looked so fresh. This wrap was absolutely delicious and definitely want to try other items from their menu.

Just like every other Sticky's I've visited, I am very satisfied with the care and respect I've received. The food was great as usual and the restaurant is well taken care of. Management and their staff deserve a lot of credit for their care and patience for both the store and guests! I highly recommend the Honey BBQ Club Sandwich with Thai Sweet Chilli on the side. It is absolutely amazing and the Cajun fries are always a great add-on. Definitely don't sleep on those chicken poppers either!

We order from here regularly...great menu with a wide variety of different sauces. Highly recommend it

So I ordered sticky fingers through Uber Eats, and I am extremely confused as to why anytime I order from Uber eats, these restaurants don't keep the same energy as if the customer were to walk in.. Not only did they get my order completely wrong, I didn't receive none of the ACTUAL items I ordered, but instead I received someone els order, perhaps a workers; the way it looked so picked through and thrown in the box, not nicely packaged at all. And OF COURSE.... also not to mention the chicken meat was still pink..It would definitely be safe to say I am good off sticky fingers.
