Kennedy Fried Chicken

Hahaha! The day I ate at Kennedy Fried Chicken, I felt like I had been duped by a restaurant and I felt my stomach cry.
One day, my friend who is a fried chicken lover decided that they would order «KFC». Somehow, when they googled the closest «KFC» to my home, Kennedy Fried Chicken popped up under the acronym of «KFC». Thinking that KFC on 14^th Street was a Kentucky Fried Chicken, my friend placed a delivery order.
When the food arrived, everything seemed a bit off. When we looked at the packaging, we realized for the first time it wasn’t Kentucky Fried Chicken and that Kennedy Fried Chicken was trying to market itself using similar packaging, internet marketing, etc. It wouldn’t have been an issue if the food was good but everything was simply much worse than Kentucky Fried Chicken.
Simply put, Kennedy Fried Chicken is ghetto, and something straight from the hood. The chicken had sad, limp batter and the bread rolls that came along with our order tasted like hot dog buns. My stomach cried that day.

Ordered a delivery here, and it took almost 2 hours to delivery to my apartment where only 10 min walk away from the restaurant! I tried to call them several times but they NEVER answer! I had to call
and asked them to contact the restaurant. The first time they said they would be here no longer than 10 min, so I did not cancel the order and it took me another one hour to wait! The food is just ok and the order lost a can of soda. Never order from this restaurant EVER!

I will never order from here again.
I ordered through seamless and my order took over 90 minutes to deliver! I called multiple times checking on my order, and the person answering the phone was extremely rude, and kept hanging up on me when I asked what the status of my order was.
I will never order from here and will encourage people not to go to this establishment.

The food is okay for the price. But *never* order delivery from this place. I’ve had serious problems on two different occasions (and will never order from here again).
First time, the food simply never came. Calls to the restaurant went to a machine.
Second time, I waited eighty minutes before calling the restaurant to find out where it was, only to be told it would be another 10 minutes before it even left the restaurant. In total it took two and a half hours from confirmation of the order to getting to my door. And lo and behold, half the food was missing when it got here.

I ordered delivery through seamless and it took about 2 hours, when the estimate was 30 – 45 minutes. Eventually, I called seamless to cancel. When they called Kennedy Chicken, they got a phone sex hotline instead. I got to bond with a friendly seamless employee, but I did not get my food.

Placed an online order an hour and 15 minutes ago. Just called. The guy said it’ll be at least another 30 minutes! 2 hours for dinner?!? Unacceptable.

I ordered on seamless and took over 3hrs for my order to arrive and it showed up with a hole in the bag like it was chewed on by a dog and then dragged on the floor. They refused to send me a new order even after I texted the manager photos of the bag. Stay away from this place

What a joke. This place just ignores deliveries and not deliver them. DO NOT ORDER.

This place sucks! Do not order from here!
I just tried ordering from here from seamless. The delivery time said 45 mins. So naturally after an hour I called to check on my order. I was greeted by someone who clearly didn’t speak English. They didn’t understand a word I was saying and nor did I understand him. THIS PLACE IS A JOKE!
Not 5 mins later, an English speaking person called me and told me that they did not have chicken breast. I was pissed and yelled, «this is a joke. If you ran out why didn’t you call 15 mins after receiving the order instead of an hour!»
All I say is, DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE!

Ordered delivery at 7:40pm, still haven’t received food at 9:25pm. Worst service ever.

Yes, it’s ghetto, but it’s the MJ of hood chicken bitches!
Each Kennedy is a lil different. I’ve been to many. Too many actually. THIS location is the best! It’s consistently good and the thing is the guys here are actually friendly.
That said, it is a hood spot chicken joint so it is what it is. However, their cHicken is the Kevin Durant…, the Tom Hanks of the hood chicken joints. Drunk, high or sober it’s great for all occasions !!! I’m drooling just thinking abou it. If I was king, «Fried Chicken for ALL»
Crunchy. Juicy. Tender. Flavor eXplOsion in your mouth. But enOugh about yo mama, this chicken is the truth, Ruth!

five star review for something as basic as kennedy fried chicken? am i serious? what’s wrong with me? do i have the most undeveloped palate ever?
not even! keep in mind that, obviously, a person coming to kennedy fried is here for some satisfying savory greasepile, not foie gras. upperclass food gets upperclass standards. fried chicken gets its own. and man, the chicken here is good.
i come here so often, all the workers recognize me. it’s cheap and fast and delicious. i usually either get a two piece meal or the basic chicken sandwich meal. the fried chicken here has such a crispy crackly crust, and the meat is tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. the sandwich i get is pretty much an upgraded mcchicken. better bun, better mix of condiments within, more veggies piled in, and a crispier, juicier patty. i really do love a chicken patty sandwich, and the one here always hits the spot.
and the fries. the fries!!! i RAVE about the fries here. why? because they refry each batch on the spot, so you literally get your very own batch of fries, freshly prepared just. for. you. so they come out hot, so so so crispy, perfectly salted and delicious. i can’t ever finish my fries that come with my meal because of the generous amount they give you, and my bf is always more than happy to polish it off for me. he thinks they’re some of the best basic fries he’s had as well. (he eats royale burgers because he’s classier, but definitely agrees that royale fries are much worse.)
and did i mention cheap! meals here are so freaking cheap (around 5 – 10 dolla will get you and prob a friend full) that anyone can afford it. if you want yourself some chicken and you don’t care about being made fun of (hey, why do all of us who love kennedy fried get chided by our friends anyway?!) then come to kennedy fried chicken. i can only speak for this location, but it’s definitely my favorite fast food around here.

What’s a diet? #BULKseason.
Addicting. IMO better than most of the KFC out here.
Chicken is seasoned well, crispy, and never dry!!!
They also have a dish (Wings over rice) that is similar to the Lamb over Rice option at Halal carts.
Does NOT accept credit/​debit. BRING cash. IDK why it says it accepts Credit Card on here. Nearest atms charge $ 2 to withdraw cash.
Not to bash on a fellow Unilocaler, but bro why are you ordering a cheese burger at Kennedy Fried Chicken? Come on, logic.

Fries and thighs. That is all.
Greasy, quick, and delicious.

Kennedy Fried Chicken is one of my guilty pleasures. I know it’s sketch. But it’s so good! Chicken is seasoned well, has crispy skin, and it’s moist. Every location has tons of different options in case I’m not feeling fried chicken (I’m never not in the mood for fried chicken, but sometimes i’ll get a little something extra)
This particular one is perfect for right before going to Otto’s which is right next door. They only have counter seating, but that’s fine. You just need to grab a quick bite to prepare your stomach for the incoming alcohol.

I ordered a cheese burger here, worst restaurant I have ever been to. Its small and cramped. The worst part of my experience here was that when I ordered the burger, they did not handle the food with gloves on. When I addressed it, they refused to do anything about it. Will never come back.

so delicious… so delicious… even tho they messed up my order and scammed me two bottles of water, i can’t help but give this establishment 4 stars. go for the hot wings, you won’t regret it. I shared the 20 pc bt me and my friend and we BEASTED it. asked for the curly fries but the dude only gave me regular ones. but that’s okay. the wings were so worth it…
DEF coming back. and make sure you get your water bottles/​drinks if you buy any!

With a vast menu containing every combination and permutation of chicken and shoestring fry orders you can imagine, this fine establishment remains a beacon of light in a weary world.
The entrance is well appointed with a steel-​door frame, stylish mid-80’s glass door with metal handle; while to the left of the entrance is an un-​Warholesque poster-​sized rendering of a non-​descript middle-​aged woman taking a bite of «Fresh Whiting Fish.»
The seating area is cozy with red formica counters, and bathroom tile walls. The display case of Breyers ice cream is sure to please your inner child, while the mouthwatering chicken display will make you want to eat yourself into oblivion.
Can’t tell you how happy this makes me.

Best 3am fried chicken I have had in a long while!!!

Dear Corn Nuggets,
Last night after my whisky tasting at White Noise, I picked you up from Kennedy Fried Chicken and took you home, and what we shared was magical. I’m sorry for doubting your awesomeness and only taking 10 of you home ($ 2). Next time, I’m going to take all 25.
I also really enjoyed spending time with all 21 popcorn shrimp ($ 4), 6 chicken wings and the fresh batch of fries ($~5?). I’m sad about the missing mac and cheese ($ 1.50), but I really didn’t need it at the end of the day.
Let’s party again soon.
Love,
Fats
