Joella's Hot Chicken - Middletown

First timer! This place is very similar to Hattie B’s. Service was good, the young lady that took our order was friendly and helpful. She explained a few things on the menu to us which was helpful. I ordered the 3 piece chicken tenders- heat level “Ella’s fav” with fried pickles and garlic parmesan fries. Ella’s fav is a mix between flavor & heat. This was perfect, the tenders truly had both. They were freshly made and juicy! The fried pickles are new (according to a sign) which were great and the garlic parm fries had the flavor but were cold. I was able to speak with the manager about it (not complaining but just feedback) and he was very nice and accommodating about it even though it was ok. I really appreciated that! There’s ice tea was pretty freaking delicious. Definitely will be back and Thank you for the kind hospitality!

I love this restaurant it is good and the service is great. I have been here multiple times, and the quality of the food is the same. They are known for the tenders, and you are able to choose the type of heat level that you may want you tenders to be, and you can even get them original with no heat if you like that.

They also provide dipping sauce, and they have a variety of those that are good but have the traditional flavors as well.

The atmosphere is nice, and they have multiple tvs around to watch, so if you like sports, you are covered. They also have an outdoor patio to sit at when it is nice.

If you are in the mood for chicken, check this out.

First time coming here, definitely will be back we enjoyed the food very much. Got the grilled Chicken tenders and garlic parmesan fries and my husband got the 2 jumbo thighs and loved them. Try the fired pickles they are awesome.

Great service. Fresh hot food. I had tenders with ‘tweener’ spice level. I like spicy foods and found that choice perfect. I had spicy honey dip that was very complementary. I ordered bourbon slush. I enjoyed it but didn’t taste great deal of bourbon in it. I like bourbon heavy drinks though.
First time visit. I’ll come back to try more.

I’ve been here a few times, not a huge fan of the sodas. Chicken quality is great, very tender and consistent! I really like the spiked honey sauce. Today I tried out the chicken and waffles which was a pretty awesome meal before my day of rock climbing. I would have liked more than one pickle slice since the sauce was spicy, maybe next time.
