For what it is , it always hits the marks on fast, affordable and late night eats. Wing zings are really good ( ask for them extra well done. Cheese fries are solid and usually are still hot and crispy. Regular chicken is mid and need a little of the hot sauce which is really good. read more

I ordered a gyro which was supposed be on pita bread with tzatziki sauce. They put it on a "hoagie roll", no tzatziki sauce, hardly any meat and sent two packets of hot sauce. read more

Sketchy Neighborhood? Check. Utilitarian Block Building? Check. Defunct Check Cashing Business? Check. Take-out Only Friend Chicken Joint with Bulletproof Ordering Window? Check. Yep. You just know this is where you're going to get the best gyro you've had in 20 years, especially if you're a preppy middle aged white guy that The Ex-Wife described as... "It's almost like God ran out of common sense." The New Girlfriend hails him as... "Such a retard." Critics agree. Ken don't give a shit. And that's what I found here: a really top notch lamb gyro, which would have been utterly perfect if possible to have eaten at all neatly. The fellow behind the shield went a little crazy with the tzatziki, and since there isn't a table in the place, I'm very happy I didn't try to eat it in the car. The meat was in big, thick chunks, the pita toasted perfectly, and the veggies were fresh. It wouldn't seem like putting three different prepared foods together with a garden salad would be difficult to do well, but experience proves differently. This fellow gets the right stuff from the right companies. Another item that emerged from the slot were a half dozen excellent panko-breaded fried shrimp. Hot, cheap, and clean, too, because this shop has the pretense of being Halal, even if not actually claiming it; they proudly advertise that they don't serve pork. How's the chicken? I have no clue. I can tell you, however, that if you need something to roll a blunt in, you've come to the right place. Those days are way behind me, but as good as what I had was, I can imagine that the food would be even better if I was REALLY hungry. Wink. read more

See all

Food is good but they always missing something, I never get my dinner rolls with my chicken‍‍

You know what it is and why you came....lol It's the late night spot for the munchies(any kind of munchies, you can think of)... My family sends me here all the time when I don't feel like frying chicken or everyone is up past 12am and gets hungry. read more

If you are larger than the average woman or small man, this place will be tough since the tables are small with attached seats that won't fit a large man. Besides that, there is hip music playing with bass turned up a little, enough to be disturbing for dinner. Now the food! The ramen was very good if a little small. The chicken Gupta's was also very good. read more

Still no changes as I went back people standing out side no air conditioning and people were just coming in and purchasing cigar and tobacco products read more

I don't understand exactly why it bothers the other reviewer that they sell tobacco products as well. What matters is the food. As with any Crown Friend it is perfect for a nice urban chicken joint. Fried perfectly crisp with tasty spices. The perfect place for when you missing true friend chicken from the city. I would give it 5 stars aside from the collard greens being disappointing and the interior of the building itself and lighting need to be a bit spruced up. Other than that, you know what you're getting and it hits that spot. read more
