Crown Fried Chicken

This is some of the best fried chicken in the city. Really tender pieces. I’m normally not a skin person, but the crispy flavor is just right. Definitely worth the wait and the trek over.

It’s deliciously greasy fried chicken that’s super cheap. What’s not to love about that? There is literally nothing fancy about this joint, but I will definitely be back after another round of bar-​hopping!
$ 10 credit card minimum.

Best drunk food in south philly. Chicken is great (crispy, better than KFC, popeyes, etc) and cheap.
Sides are cheap as well (mac and cheese, fries are the best).
Shady characters come in and out and the cashier is blocked by bulletproof glass. ATM prints bills that resemble counterfeit money (thin, hard, $ 10 bills once a few weeks back).
Nonetheless, two thumbs up for Crown.

Complete fail. Total rip off artists and shady business dealings. The clerk harassed me and threatened me. Time to contact the authorities. They get –5 stars.

Drunk. Hungry. And upset.
On a piece of paper that they taped to their bullet proof glass (classy), says 2 drumsticks + fries for 2.95.
I was there at 1 am, and requested such a excellent priced offer. They didn’t have anymore. Really? Alright… I guess I’ll leave.
My roommate arrives home with that special. I asked him how did that happened, and he said that he gave the guy an extra dollar and got what he wanted.
My roommate was polite to give me one, and it was bitter. Bitter because they lied to me, and bitter because they probably over-​salt their chicken to hide the spoiled chicken taste.

That lone star is for their Mac & Cheese.
One day I was walking home from class and had a huge craving for some Mac & Cheese. I hadn’t eaten yet that day and I had a long, cold walk ahead of me. I remembered that I pass a Crown Fried Chicken on my way home and assumed that they would have a Mac & Cheese side dish or something. When I finally make my way down Broad and into the place, low and behold they have some Mac & Cheese! I was so excited!
I rush the rest of the way home and open up the food container. It smelled kinda funky… But I disregarded this initial reaction and tried a bite. yuck. YUCK. YUCK! It was luke-​warm, way to thick & heavy, and tasted like bitter old cheese…
That’s the last time I’ll ever feel inclined to satisfy my Mac & Cheese craving at a Crown Fried Chicken. Yuck.

I love how they advertise fresh healthy salads that have fried chicken or fried shrimp. FAIL.
Anyway, this review is more for the Crown Fried Chicken patrons.
Why must you be so ghetto and throw all your chicken bones and trash on the ground? There is a freakin trash can right outside the damn place. Please properly throw out your trash/​waste. There are dogs in this neighborhood that could potentially choke and die on your damn discarded bones – and like immediately die, not the long, slow death you’ll suffer from eating Crown Fried Chicken.
Don’t be douches. Be responsible.
Update: Seriously, CFC! Take a few moments each day to sweep outside your establishment. You are an unsanitary embarassment to the neighborhood!
