This spot is a Bushwick staple. I've lived a block away for about 8 years, and when they closed for a quick renovation last year, people on the Bushwick Facebook groups and IG were stressed thinking it was gone for good. They've updated the name and logo since then, but the food hasn't changed at all. It's straightforward fried food--perfect after a night out or when you've got the munchies. Staff is always friendly and service is quick. I've never actually eaten inside, always take it to go. Only downside is everything goes into paper boxes while it's still super hot, so by the time you get home the fries are kinda soggy. Still, solid, no-frills food to soak up some alcohol. read more

This is a neighborhood gem. The staff was friendly and helpful. They have a small sitting area that probably has two tables for a family of four and two single tables for dinning alone or a partner. Had the lamb platter ($13) and fried chicken drumstick and thigh special deal (4pc for $6) The service was great, accommodating and very friendly!! The lamb platter came with rice, fries, salad, and soda. For $13 thats a good deal in my opinion. Not a huge fan of salad and was given the option to add a little more fries or rice into the platter with no extra cost. The food was delicious, made to order and not just scooped into a container. The lamb was juicy and flavorful, the basmati rice had its cumin flavor (in which is the real deal). I dont understand how people find yellow rice at those famous halal food carts to be tasty. The shoe string fries were flavorful as well but got a little soggy on the way home. The white sauce tasted like taziki sauce without the cucumbers. You can see that they used herbs in it and not just a plain white sauce. The red sauce is super hot and definitely holds a kick to it. I usually have my red and white sauce on the platter but the The cashier and cook recommended to place the red sauce in a small sauce container on the side rather than having it drizzled on top of the platter! Appreciate that recommendation. The fried chicken was flavorful with a thin coat of batter and still crispy when we got home. The chicken was juicy and paired really well with the hot sauce and rice platter. There are many options on the menu in which you can even buy a single drum stick. Overall experience was amazing and would recommend. Thinking about trying the chicken platter next time or wonder if they would do a combo platter. But you have other options like fish and shrimp. read more

This specific location that is listed on #Yelp actually closed a long time ago, but there is another Crown Fried Chicken across the street that's been there for a while. I used to swing by when I came home late #drunk when everything else was closed. But these days I don't go outside after dark. Surprisingly good Chicken over Rice (#halal cart style). read more

Crown Fried Chicken - Chicken over rice - Fast Food Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I really don't like to jump on the band wagon and hate on places, but damn this place is nasty. The white trash redneck genes of mine that normally lie dormant became active and lured me into this place, with the chrome glowing exterior that only a carnie would love. I stood in front in awe while the storefront glowed in front of me, Journey started blasting in my head and I could hear the sound of pinball machines. The cook in the back flicked a bug off of the rice spoon and then put the rice into a container, I witnessed this while eating here. The soda machine here has old mixed syrup and there is mold in the pipelines. There were flecks of mold in my drink. Definitely don't get the Dew, even if it feels right at first, don't do it. Ugh. The chicken here is like rubber and the fries are coated in wax. The cheese sticks are bland and the gyro is filled with grilled onions that you cannot even chew. So much grease running everyone on the plate. Tragic! There is a meh Halal cart across the street, but they unexpectidely closed when the gyro craving struck. The other people eating here did not look much happier. Two people enter, one person leave. read more

The realist people around. They didn't have to make me anything after they closed but they did. Great people, great food.

Popcorn chicken and French fries for lunch sounded good. At $3.00 and $1.25 respectively, a small investment to stave off hunger. Next time, I will go a block further and eat at subway. While the servings were adequate, the chicken breading was rather flavorless. At least until I added salt. Then it was salty. I asked for extra BBQ sauce, explaining that I needed it for the chicken and the fries since I am not a fan of ketchup. I was given three whole packets, each of which was smaller than a standard ketchup pack. I managed to add taste to approximately a third of my chicken bits. My fries were left completely nekkid. Most annoying, though, I ordered ala carte since they did not have Diet Coke to drink. Instead of the 4.99 combo meal, I ordered 4.25 in food. Somehow, my meal still cost over 5.00. New math, I guess. The next time I am in the mood for popcorn chicken, I will bring my own BBQ sauce and leave off the fries. read more

There is no reward without great risk, so quotith Euclid or some other ancient Greek pederast. The same aphorism may be applied to my dining habits. Every time I step inside the bulletproof class for a crespular meal, my heart beat quickens--not only because I am surrounded by what seems to be G-Unit, but also because I will eat a meal so loaded with trans fat that my subsequent steps will be inside the cardiac unit at Woodhull Medical Center. The food quality works much like sex appeal at a party. When dining at Crown's Fried, one must adapt the same "Beer Goggles" mentality. Whereas Crown Fried might taste acceptable at noon, it will taste much better at 3 am after drinking from the sweet teat of the PBR Keg. The menu consists of mostly the aformentioned fried chicken. It is usually greasy and not hot, but again, perfunctory details. Who needs taste when you can breathe in the refreshingly pungent smell of urine cleverly shrouded in 99 cent store cleaning product? Most of the food items consist of items one may purchase at any provincial grocery store. Items of particular interest include: Pizza Rolls, Hash Browns, Popcorn Shrimp, and Fish Sticks. "Why," you ask yourself, "should I scurry in the brisk winter air in order to procure such items that I could get for half the price at Associated?" The answer is simple: You're an American. And if someone can heat up your pizza rolls for you, it is your civic duty to exercise your freedom of choice. read more

Perfect if you hate yourself. The rush you get from ordering boneless wings and bacon cheese fries at 1am on a Monday night is better than crack yet somehow tops itself when it shows up half an hour late, cold, with dry strips of meat that vaguely resemble chicken and (cold) nacho cheese drenched Gordon Food Service French fries. Oh baby. You're gunna eat every last bite. Seriously, if you're feeling down in the dumps, order from this place real late at night dig the fuck in because this is VOID FOOD BABY read more

Never order delivery from them! It won't come at all or extremity late! The food is very average and not worth it. We called and asked about our order only to be told they didn't get it and can't take it over the phone. This place is a joke. read more
