Crown Fried Chicken

It was late and I was hungry for fried chicken, wanted good food and was looking for a deal. This place had everything I wanted. The chicken is seasoned lightly and just right, and if you’re a fan of beef ribs order the half rack.

Heyo, 10 pieces of mostly dark meat chicken as I requested and 2 slices of pizza with a drink at $ 16 fits my budget. The pizza were surprisingly good. Idk if it was because I was hungry or I haven’t had pizza in a while. The fried chicken skin is not as crispy as Popeyes but it passes. The flavor was better than average Chinese take out chicken wings. I would know LOL. I love dark meat so much omg. I know white meat is healthier but it’s so dry like why so dry? I would come back if I’m in the hood again :3
Props to the guys in the front for having patience with me as I grabbed cash cuz it’s CASH ONLY.

My favorite place ever. Cheap prices, good food and good variety. Service is pretty quick too

Not the cleanest place, an okay customer service, cheap eats, great food, and not the most comfortable seats.

I’m not a huge fan of the Crown/​Kennedy fried chicken chains across NYC but throughout the years I’ve learned that the quality of the ingredients, style, taste and the care in preparation does differ from one fried establishment to the next. Case in point: this particular Crown chicken is home to an amazing cheese pizza! The crust is on the thin side and baked crisp! The pizza is topped and I mean topped with fresh premium gooey mozzarella and a generous spread of tasty tangy (a little sweet) pizza sauce. It’s almost always fresh out of the oven, but be sure to ask for it piping hot for the full effect. When you fold the pizza, you getting a little gathering of oil, I presume from the fresh mozzarella! The pizza across the street by comparison is doughy, not crisp, very light portion of rather bland sauce with underwhelming mozzarella both in a quality and freshness! For a real taste of the NYC Pizza you gotta come to this Crown location on 170 and hillside.

Fresh chickens, absolutely in love with this restaurant. Tried the chicken sandwich and it was awesome.

Some of the best fried chicken I’ve ever had. I have no idea what makes it so good. I thought the hand-​slaughtering had something to do with it, but I just looked it up and no, that has nothing to do with the taste of the chicken as far as I can tell… it fulfills a Muslim dietary restriction.
It’s just really good and I like it, and I can’t find anything like it in Los Angeles.

Even though I had to wait 15 minutes for chicken, it was the best chicken I ever had in my life (especially when I just finished drinking a hour before). Fries tasted fresh and chicken was crunchy. Anyone expecting something extravagant from a Crown Friend should to go back to Manhattan. No worries, the F train is right on the corner.

Wow, again there is no accounting for people’s taste. I stopped in here once on my way home to grab a slice of pizza, I normally do not frequent these types of places, but really needed something in me. AWFUL, the worst pizza I have ever tasted and I have had bad. It might as well been cardboard with salty cheese on it. The place is not too clean (not unusual for this stretch of blocks on Hillside Avenue) and the people who work here are just plain bad as the food. The bottom of the barrel. Too bad I had to give it even 1 star.

LOVED IT!!! The Smell is what caught my attention everyday when I left the train so One night I went out walking and I was hungry. It seems to be open late everyday. The Chicken is WONDERFUL! Heck even the Pizza was wonderful. this was the FIRST thin crust pizza that I actually liked. The Owner or manager was awesome. when we first went in we asked if we could order one piece of chicken to try it out he said sure but always gave us an extra piece or
was Soooo Yummy and Queens is so far from The excitement in NY, But its close to the airports so see ya soon crown fried chicken!!!

I have been living in queens for about 4 years, and I just tried crown fried for the first time last week. I order the shrimp and fries combo. The shrimp was good, but the fries hurt the roof of my mouth (bad oil?). They give you a decent amount of shrimp and a lot of fries. My total, with a soda, was about 5 bucks. No complaints here.

Every time I walk by this place I have pretty fond memories of this place being pretty much all I could afford as a kid. A burger for me and my brother. Both of us pretty fat and happy.
Five stars for price and food– well, you get better than what you expect.

It’s crown fried. Typically I wouldn’t go in here but I was absolutley starving and it was the closest thing with cheap shrimp on the menu.
That’s exactly what I got. 9pc jumbo shrimp with fries combo. I thought they were going to be little shrimp. Surprisingly they really were jumbo and I had to give my cousin three pieces and I actually threw away some fries. If you know me you KNOW I don’t give away shrimp and damn sure never through anything away lol it was so much food though. I also got a drink. All came up to 8 $. Not bad at all. Actually pretty good. The guy behind the counter was also very friendly. The food was made quickly and I didn’t have to ask him for condiments. He already threw it in the bag (in a recession. I am that rich!)
I’m happy I know I can run in to crown fried for some clutch eats.

Discovered this gem back when I was at college and had to take LIRR every other day. My train arrived at 10 pm, and I was so hungry and couldn’t wait to grab a piece of chicken before running to subway.
And Crown Friend Chicken never disappoint me.
Have tried their fried chicken, fries, chicken sandwich and ice cream. Fried chicken is a MUST HAVE. Very delicious, well seasoned, a little bit salty and spicy. Super affordable, only $ 1.5ish for a piece of thigh. Ice cream is good too. Others are mediocre.
The staff are friendly and they give you foil bag to wrap the chicken.
They do not accept bills larger than $ 20.

Cheap fried chicken. So freakin’ good. If you’re going to spend money on deep-​fried greasy poultry, go here. It’s cheaper than KFC or Popeyes, and it tastes even better (sometimes).

I guess you can’t go wrong with anything fried and salty. I wasn’t really in the market for fried chicken so I decided to pursue a spinach roll. And a pursuit it was. They had forgotten my order and only remembered to place it when they noticed I was still standing after 3 other people got their piles of cholesterol. Twenty minutes and one dollar later, I received my egg-​roll look-​alike. I was ridiculously impatient with them by then. They had somehow filled about 10 orders after I placed mine. But for a local cheap eatery, I couldn’t expect awesome service. Hungry, disappointed, and anxious, I took my first bite of the 6 inch roll, and all was forgiven. They were just busy.

Delicious!
dine on succulent southern fried chicken, mashed potatoes, buttermilk biscuits, all while watching the amazing carnage outside. Seated safely behind bullet proof glass and steel reinforced brick walls, you’ll eat your wonderful (and wonderfully priced!) chicken dinner and watch other people destroy their automobiles. It’s kinda like dinner theater, but WAY better, and cheaper too!
my personal favorite.
PS don’t park on the street! ;-)
