Wow. The portions are enormous! I started w a side salad…read morewith the house dressing, a must!, served with warm rolls. I ordered the angel hair pasta with two meatballs. When I say that I probably have 5 lb of pasta on my plate, I am not lying or exaggerating. The meatballs takes like a mix of veal or pork and beef - delicious. Meaty but not heavy. The pasta sauce was a little spicy but nothing mouth scorching. Again delicious. My friends got the grilled tilapia and there's probably three very large pieces of tilapia served with a lemon wedge and another side of angel hair pasta, again at least a pound of pasta in the side. They had the French onion soup, a hearty very beefy based soup with a giant slab of cheese on the top. My friends loved it. My other friends had the pork cutlet which was a hammered piece of pork lightly fried, and the size of a dinner plate served with a side of beef gravy, and also a side of angel hair pasta. Portions are ridiculous and I'm from the south I know huge portions. Lol If you come here though don't come in a hurry, as the staff is very busy. I didn't get her name but she was the only one working the floor. Efficient, direct and friendly. If you leave hungry it is your fault. Enjoy!

Cube steak is basically a burger with gravy, so that was OK. The gravy tasted artificial... corn is corn, so that was fine... The mashed potatoes tasted like they were instant.

The food has improved but many times we have been there the bar tender also has to be the server and that makes their job harder.

This is where I used to go for my cheat days, for getting quick lunch during busy work days and…read moreduring random days when I had cravings. Cravings for their sinfully delicious, golden & crispy fries. I've tried their chicken wings (3 pc), chicken kabob rice plate and their desserts. Food has been a hit or a miss. They sometimes fry everything in the same oil which spoils the taste of the food. But, on the hit days, food tasted really good. Ambience is casual with the restaurant designed only for pickup. They have a waiting area but with no chairs or tables, so plan accordingly.

Most meals come with a massive order of fries or other sides - the macoroni and cheese, in particular, is amazing. Unlike Kentucky Fried Chicken or other similar restaurants, an entire meal at Crown Fried Chicken will end up costing about $5 per person. There's a reason Crown Fried Chicken in Downtown Wilkes-Barre was recently named as the Best Lunch on a Budget by the Diamond City. An advantage this Crown Fried Chicken has over other franchise locations is the size. While the restaurant is only open for takeout, there is enough room to wait comfortably in line or for your meal without having to stand out in the parking lot. The men behind the counter are all very nice and hard-workers. Crown Fried Chicken closes very late and opens early in the morning.

I had the classic which had a double patty, choice of cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onion and thousand island dressing. For $11.25! Roll was good.

Picnic tables available to sit down. There were even 3 slot machines by the bathrooms (which were clean.). Great little place for simply good food.
