Bojangles' new location in Edison, NJ, drew massive crowds on opening day, but some patrons were disappointed to find bone-in chicken, mashed potatoes, and other Southern staples missing from the menu. Despite these omissions, the chicken tenders, sandwiches, and desserts were praised for their quality and flavor.

Bojangles has returned to New Jersey , marking a triumphant comeback for the popular Southern chicken chain. The new outlet in Edison drew massive crowds on its opening day, with lines snaking outside the building and stretching to a neighboring parking lot. The excitement surrounding Bojangles ' return was palpable, with a symphony of chatter, car radios, and honking horns filling the air.

However, a wave of disappointment swept through some patrons upon learning that the Edison location, like all other Bojangles expansion markets, no longer serves bone-in chicken, a popular menu item at previous New Jersey locations. There was also the absence of other staples like mashed potatoes with gravy, green beans, and ham biscuit sandwiches. Yet, the craving for Bojangles' signature chicken tenders and sandwiches remained strong, evident in the unwavering patience of the long lines. Speaking with NJ Advance Media, Chief Operating Officer David Whitaker explained that these menu changes are consistent across all Bojangles locations expanding beyond their established Southern territory. This hasn't diminished the quality of the food, however. Those who tasted the tenders and sandwiches left with a heavy sense of satisfaction, praising the crunchy, flavorful exterior and the juicy, melt-in-your-mouth interior. The chicken sandwich, with its crispy breaded chicken breast nestled in a lightly toasted bun with pickles, was hailed as one of the best in the national chain sector.Beyond the savory offerings, Bojangles is still known for its legendary Bo-Berry biscuits. The blueberry biscuits topped with sweet icing, met with rave reviews. Though the peach cobbler and sweet tea didn't quite hit the mark for some, the Bojangles’ return to New Jersey has been met with a resounding success
