If you love fried chicken, you're going to want to try Chris Fried Chicken. The place is a family owned and operated neighborhood greasy spoon that's been serving fried chicken and fish for ten years. The aging strip mall has seen better days. The parking lot is a mess and the sidewalks are crumbling. Chris is a small hole in the wall place, not fancy or upscale, but the food is amazing and Chris' family is welcoming and genuine. The menu hangs above cases of fried chicken, fish and potato wedges. Gizzards are a popular menu item. Chris takes your order. My husband wants a 3-piece chicken meal with cole slaw. I select a Buffalo chicken wrap that comes with fries. Ricardo, Chris' son, comes out and asks how spicy hot I want my chicken and I ask for mild. Wow, what great service! They tell us to grab some drinks and have a seat. The dining area is small with three or four tables that seat two. Most people come in for carry out. Chris laughs and jokes with a customer in Spanish as he cooks. I sip mango nectar. My husband's 3-piece meal has four pieces of fried chicken with a cup of cole slaw. The chicken is hot, crispy and moist, not too salty, perfect. The fried batter is thick and flavorful. This is great fried chicken. The slaw is finely chopped and creamy. My wrap with fries comes out on a beautiful white platter. The wrap is huge, and the chicken fresh, hot and moist with lots of crispy lettuce. The fries are batter fried and fresh. The portions are generous. My meal was delicious. Ricardo and his sister checked on us a couple times, thanked us for coming and told us their story. I felt like family. The food is easy 5 stars, as is the service. I'll be back. I want to try the fish next. read more

They need to season their food. I don't understand why people don't put just some salt and pepper seasoned salt on their food before they cook it or fry it up. The livers were really good except for they needed seasoning. read more

I'm so happy that I decided to stop by this place I'm definitely adding it to my rotation of places to go when I need some fried chicken. This is more of a takeout spot but there are a few tables if you want to eat inside, I ordered a family meal with wedges, hot wings, and a half slab of rotisserie ribs. I would have been in and out but had a 14min wait for the hot wings. When we arrived there was a patron eating there and it had a steady stream of people coming in. It looks like this place is liked by locals which I intend on becoming since this is only 10 min away from my home. read more

I was an the area and did a search for restaurants and this place popped up. I must admit that I was skeptical at first because there was not much about this place on Yelp or the Web. I decided to check it out anyway, and I am glad that I did. It is a diamond in the rough and one of the area's best kept secrets....but not anymore! This restaurant is kind of hard to find. You really have to know where you are going? This is not a place that you just stumble upon. It is located at the end of a desolate strip mall. There is an adequate lot available to park, that the restaurant shares with the other businesses in the strip mall. The place is kind of small, but has a few tables that you can sit at and eat. The staff there was very friendly and welcoming. You can tell that they value their customers. They even knew all the regulars by name. If it is fried, you can probably find it here. They have fried chicken gizzards, and fried chicken. They also have elote, Philly sandwiches, burgers, ribs, egg rolls, tenderloins, and chicken sandwiches. I went with their 2 piece fried chicken dinner, which came with potato wedges and I also got a 1/2 pound of fried chicken gizzards. The chicken did not disappoint. It far exceeded my expectations. The chicken gizzards were very good too. None of that food made it home. As an added bonus, they have hot sauce available that really set the chicken off. I was very happy with my meal and wanted more. Who knew that a Hispanic owned fried chicken joint would work. Well it does and it works well. I am glad that I made it here and highly recommend that you seek this place out and give them a shot. read more

Found this place in a local review field fried chicken and figured I would give them a try. Sure glad I did. The shop itself is a little off the road in an older strip mall. When you walk in, you are hit with fragrant aromas of freshly-fried chicken. I chose the three-piece lunch, and it was very solid. Chose the Mac-and-cheese for my side, which was also creamy and flavorful. Overall, I was pleasantly impressed, and will not hesitate to return. read more

Best fried chicken in Indy. The staff is great and prices reasonable. The neighborhood is a little rough but worth the drive.

Very low grade. Nothing like what the reviews said. Food was lukewarm and establishment is not easy to find.

I just went there for the first time. I'd always heard they had the best fried chicken in Indy and they didn't disappoint. I got an 8 piece family meal with mashed potatoes, corn, and Mac and cheese. Everything was great, and the family that owns it is very friendly and polite. I will be going back and I definitely recommend them. read more

They seemed a little slow, but I got the gizzards and liver and it was well worth the wait. Gizzards can be tricky to cook properly and let me tell you they nailed it. I Definetly will be heading back. read more

Unreal fried chicken for an affordable price. A three piece with one side or potato wedges is under $6. Family owned. Homemade horchata. And they have great wings. I'm not sure what else you want out of this place. It's as good as places that charge two or more times at much. read more

It's really good but it's so dirty and they have mold in the fridge so who know where else

Fantastic service and food is unmatched. I ordered something different but he let me try two of his wings. I would put them up there with contending with anyone! Friendly, clean, and flavor out this world! read more

If you're looking for righteous fried chicken like mama used to make, don't pass on Chris Fried Chicken. The chicken was crisp and flavorful. Not too greasy or salty but juicy nonetheless. The counter help informed us that they were out of legs. I suggested he load me up with breasts and thighs and we would be just fine. Ordered an eight-piece family pack. While we skipped the fries and opted for the baked beans they were perfectly savory and not too sweet. Since the pandemic, many of our go-to spots for fried chicken have gone down hill. Pieces are small, overcooked and more bones than meet. We thoroughly enjoyed Chris'. If you're looking for chicken for an outing, picnic or to take to the track, give Chris a try. read more

Excelente servicio al cliente y comida fresca, recién cocinada, buen sabor y precios razonables

Hands down my favorite chicken joint in the city. It's in a lowkey area so it may get overlooked. But the chicken at this spot is popin!!!. Rotisserie or fried they got you ribs they have sometimes. This joint sells more than just fried chicken but that's all I get there tho. I'll update wit pictures when at a later time. read more

First time visitor - ordered the 12 pc of chicken with potato wedges for $22. My only regret is not finding this gem sooner. Excellent chicken and wedges and friendly staff. read more

Chris Fried Chicken - 12 piece chicken and potato wedges - Comfort Food Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Wow. Wings were not available and the chicken we ended up buying was not very good. Probably will not eat there again.

Great food, great staff, all at an affordable price. Becoming a semi-frequent destination for me.

Just tried Chris fried chicken and absolutely loved it! Got some chicken, wedges and gizzards. DELICIOUS!
