If you're on the lookout for top-notch fried catfish, Crown Chicken & Fish has it down. Their catfish is spot-on - lightly breaded, perfectly seasoned, and just the right mix of flaky and moist. I don't come across fried catfish often, but I think this is the closest and best I'll find around. A meal comes with a side and I've tried both the fries and the potato wedges; the potato wedges take the cake. Crispy on the outside, and soft and fluffy on the inside - they're the ideal match for that stellar catfish. It's an unsuspecting place that sells other fried seafood, fried chicken, halal, and more. Each time I have gone, I ordered 4-piece fried catfish with a side, and it took about 15 minutes each time. There is decent amount of seating to wait or dine-in. If you're a fan of fried catfish, it's worth checking out! read more

I would leave 0 stars if I could. Ordered chicken tenders, onion rings and cole slaw. First, they were out of cole slaw and onion rings, so they substituted potato wedges and macaroni salad. Wedges were ok, macaroni salad was bland. But BY FAR the WORST thing were the chicken tenders. They were BLAND, DRY, FLAT and STRINGY. Obviously just VERY low quality "chicken". I took two bites and was instantly grossed out. I'm no chicken snob, but this was truly just horrible. I tried bites of a couple of other pieces but they were all bad. Just... bad. I'd had frozen chicken from the supermarket that was 10x better for half the price. I was so disappointed, I called the restaurant (I ordered it from Grubhub), and asked if the chicken was fresh. He said, yes, we just made it. I said, no I'm asking if you make it yourself there, or do you buy it frozen? He said oh yeah, we get frozen tenders and reheat them in the fryer. When I told him I thought it was crazy to sell frozen chicken for that amount of money (it was not cheap) he had no reply. When I said I wanted a refund (I was NOT rude, mind you), he said "nope". He said to get Popeye's next time. I pointed out to him that Popeye's is MUCH better than what he served me. I don't know what their regular fried chicken is like, but I can't imagine it's any good, nor am I willing to try it. I'm positive the fish is also frozen disgusting, cheap CRAP. AVOID CROWN CHICKEN AND FISH. Go to a fast-food place, or any of the other dozens of chicken places in the area. They may not be better but they CERTAINLY can't be any worse!! read more

We stayed at a nearby hotel and were looking for something different for dinner. We happened upon Crown's and what an amazing find!! It was a small place with adequate seating and the guys there were awesome. Each order of Chicken is fried to order, to perfection. The crisp and crunch and flavor was like no other. We actually went back later that same night to get more for a late night snack as they are open until 11p. We recommend Crown's Chicken and Fish for an all around great experience and amazing food. read more

Been wanting to try this place for quite a while. We ordered some chicken tenders and a fried chicken dinner. All the chicken was fried perfectly and tasted very good. The meals came with choice of side. We got fries and coke slaw. The fries were good and coke slaw was fresh but the jury is still out on whether I'd get it again. Probably not. They had what seemed like a homemade white garlic cream sauce that was very good on everything. I say seemed like because all the other sauces were unfortunately from a big named company and prepackaged (Ken's). Don't ask for ranch. It was horrible. FYI, they also have a Halal menu in addition to the fried chicken and shrimp. read more

Drove with a friend to Rhode Island to see a very rare bird. We were successful. Usually, a good lunch would follow a successful bird chase but it was too early. By the time we reached West Haven, we were starving and I spotted this place from 95. My kind of place. My friend ordered a chicken sandwich, fries and an order of hot wings. I had a three piece fried whiting and potato wedges. While there was nothing extraordinary about the sandwich, everything else was delicious, and well fried. The whiting, in particular, was really good, served with lots of lime wedges and a good hot sauce. Glad I spotted this place! Very satisfying. read more

I'm a fan of everything I've had but the chicken(Ironic for a chicken & fish place.) Not that the chicken is bad, it's actually good, but i just like the chicken better from other places. The catfish was perfectly fried and seasoned to perfection. The lamb kebab delicious. Potato wedges slightly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, just like any foodie will tell you they should be. Looking forward to trying the wings, the tenders, the shrimp, and more sides! read more

Chicken was ok but we ordered for a group. I was quoted a price. Then overcharged by $10. I paid extra for specifics pieces and got wings and drumsticks anyway. I had someone else pick up my order so I didn't find out about the overcharge til later. No honesty from this establishment. Buyer beware! read more

Pleasantly surprised with this place. Had delicious chicken tenders here. The Fried chicken looked amazing also. Small place only a few tables to eat at read more

Arrived hungry and was excited to find something different. Cute looking building from the outside and a special of 2 sandwiches were advertised for $5.99. Walked in to find another patron already waiting for his food. 3 employees behind the counter, none of them were wearing masks. Stood there ready to order and were outright ignored. Shame, considering that this mom and pop place could have gotten a nice review. Apparently they're doing so well, that they could turn away customers. 1 star, since yelp won't let me rate less than that. read more

Really great fish. I went and got cat fish and was compelled to go again the next day for more. Best fried catfish around.

Excellent tilapia, Philly cheese steak, and mixed chicken gyro platter. They are not stingy with the white sauce either.

YOOO , when I say this was worth the walk from my hotel where I'm staying at , it was worth the walk ! I'm originally from Maryland , stayed in Connecticut for two weeks and literally on my last day here , I tried their chicken salad bowl and I regret not coming here sooner to try other things they had , but Most definitely will come back here if I come back to Connecticut. read more

I can't tell you how infuriated I've been ever since Halal Guys dropped the ball. "You were supposed to be the chosen one." Bring balance to the "halal food" scene, yada yada yada. Aladdin's is great, but they don't really do chicken and rice very well. They are open until 3 am or whatever, so that's great, but not always useful. Halal Guys took a formula that couldn't be messed up and somehow found a way to mess it up with ridiculous portion sizes. Mamoun's is neither here nor there. And, Ali Baba is only on Cedar St for lunch, otherwise you have to drive up Dixwell... So, what do you do when its between 8-11 pm when you need chicken/gyro and rice? Hop on the 95, exit 42, about an 8 minute drive during the aforementioned hours from downtown New Haven and walk into Crown Chicken and Fish. Are they doing fried chicken, fried fish, "halal food", or everything? The chicken and gyro over rice was super. Its not NYC Halal Guys, but for New Haven its probably right below Ali Baba. The white sauce has a weird kick and a slightly too thin consistency, otherwise its excellent. There really isn't a hot sauce except for bottled buffalo sauce which is what necessitates the 4 stars instead of 5. Otherwise, I loved the medium sized chunks of gyro meat and tandoori style chicken. Everything was seasoned really well, and the rice definitely has an Afghani style to it that is a much needed break from turmeric tinged yellow rice I'm used to. Solid food overall, I'm kind of excited to try out the other stuff. The service is pretty good and its a family owned and operated business so there's a lot to like about the place. Once you're inside the restaurant you'll notice it resembles a diner, but its kept fairly clean and its also a decent place to just sit down and enjoy your meal before it gets cold on the way home. Although, it is just an 8 minute drive... read more

Passed this restaurant all the time. I thought it was just a fried chicken joint. Actually, more of a kebab place. Excellent quality of food. I had the lamb kebab. About $14.00 with coke. Chicken is about $12.00 with coke. Very healthy meal with delicious rice and salad. read more

Found this place on Yelp, and being from NYC I have plenty of great experience with Halal dishes. Ordered the chicken and gyro mix platter, and glad I did. The chicken very well seasoned, the lamb was more fluffy and fatty, more like cut up kebabs rather than gyro, which was great. The white sauce was flavorful and not too watery, and the basmati rice was moist. All in all, very pleased with the meal, this place is a welcomed asset to the New Haven area! I'll be back. read more

Late one night my wife and I were looking for someplace to get a quick bite to eat. When we walked into this restaurant, we were a little concerned about what we might end up with.

When our number was called, we were pleasantly surprised. Both the chicken and the fish were delicious and affordably priced. read more

It's a hidden gem. We wanted to eat some halal food when we were in that town and came across this place. We don't get pleased easily everytime we try any new food place but it hit the spot right away. The chicken kebab and rice was good and it got even more delicious with that hot sauce they have. Chicken tenders were really juicy and tasty too. Food was served fresh and was really good. They should put a little work on the ambience though. read more

Best Halal spot in CT, without a doubt. NY style chicken and rice gyro platter is one of the best I've had! Cheeseburger was as fresh as could be, buns were even grilled for a warm crispy taste, not soggy at all! Chicken cheesesteaks are one of the favorites on the menu, and the wings are ON POINT, crispy and full of flavor. Food has always come out in a timely manner and has been fresh every single time. I've made this place a regular for lunch! Taking the drive from Hartford area is well worth the 40 minutes. Everyone I have recommended this spot to has fallen in love immediately. The staff is as friendly as can be, very courteous! read more
