Crown Fried Chicken didn't fail me -- it successfully executed mediocrity at a professional level. Everything was crispy. Loudly crispy. OSHA-approved crunch. The texture showed up ready to work. The flavor, however, called out sick and never returned. Every bite sounded incredible and then immediately tasted like air that had been briefly introduced to salt. This place used to be legendary. Life-altering. The kind of chicken that ruined other chicken for you. Now it's fried chicken that crunches confidently while delivering absolutely no message. It's like listening to fireworks with noise-canceling headphones on. And the onion rings -- golden, crunchy, structurally flawless circles of nothing. Perfectly fried, expertly engineered, and seasoned with the restraint of a monastery. I kept waiting for flavor to kick in. It never did. It just stared back at me. Nothing was wrong. Nothing was exciting. I wasn't mad -- I was confused. How can something be this crispy and still say so little? This wasn't bad food. Bad food has opinions. This was food that refused to take a stance. Crown Fried Chicken didn't disappoint me. It crunched loudly, said nothing, and left me alone with my thoughts. read more

This place always hits the spot. The new owners surely improved a restaurant that I already thoroughly enjoyed. Just a heads up, the prices have definitely went up quite a bit in recent years. 2 lamb/chicken and rice meals and 1 side cost me just under $50. That's a little pricy for what is a large portion but amounts to mostly rice. And then they charge the same for lamb or chicken with rice, but if you want 1/2 lamb and 1/2 chicken, it's an upcharge. I guess I miss when this place was a spot that I could get some super tasty food and grub out for the low$ . But all things have gone up in price so it's not really a knock. Nonetheless it's still a place we choose to eat at nearly every week. read more

Food is amazing and everything is made fresh on the spot I truly recommend it for anyone in town.

Amazing food! Everything was clean, and well kept. Owner was very kind and friendly! Will be coming back! Thanks!

One of the very few halal places in Williamsport. The serving sizes are very big and the food also tastes good

This review is based only on the falafel pita sandwich. I think I've had it three times in the month or so since I first tried this place. I didn't really know what to expect the first time, but it's been consistently great. You'd never guess from the name of this place, but it's an awesome choice for a quick vegetarian meal. The falafel has never been dry or overcooked, which is a common falafel problem. Not here. It's flavorful, and it doesn't taste like it's fried in old oil, so that's good. The veggies have been crisp and fresh each time. I do wish the tomato and cucumber pieces were cut a little smaller, but that's it. The pita bread is good, the serving size is very filling, the service is quick, and the price is good. read more

Staying in the area for labor day weekend and came across this place as everything else was closed late at night and boy I'm glad this choice was made for me because otherwise I might've overlooked it. First off, the people a servicing us were very nice. I was skeptical of going for their falafel sandwich because this place does more than this, they do fried chicken and burgers as well. Anywho, I got the falafel and chicken in a pita.. Mind blown! Beat expectations! It was soooo tasty! Going there tonight again! read more

Great service, very nice people great food !!! Nice area good seats .The ambiance is prefect !! I don't know what you are waiting on to get here but it is worth coming and checking it out for yourself!! Support this business. read more

Worse chicken I have ever had Im from California ordered a chicken box and all they had was chicken quarters that was crap! Supposed to get roll and mashed potatoes and all I got was chicken for $16. Not happy won't be back! read more

With great prices and even better food, Crown Fried Chicken (CFC) adds some great diversity to the local food scene. Serving up everything from curry and biryani to--you guessed it--fried chicken, this place has something that will appeal to pretty much everyone. My go-to, though, is the lamb shawarma (gyro), which is one of the best I've had Stateside. Their falafel is also fantastic, which is not something I ever expected to say in Williamsport. read more

See all

Very helpful and kind workers. Love the service. Fast and amazing tasting food, and for a Lebanese girl stuck in Williamsport this restaurant took me back to my roots with amazing shawarma. Highly favored and recommended, my new place to be!! read more

First off, the store itself is not clean, meaning the kitchen is probably not clean either. There are hanging flytraps in the kitchen visible from the front counter, which was full of dead flies. The chicken itself tastes like it was deep-fried in old oil. I do not recommend this place and would eat ANYWHERE else. read more

I absolutely LOVE crown fried chicken! You guys are the best 10/10 recommend! They were quick with their service.

Had High hopes for this place with its 4 star reviews. Myself and three other co-workers threw away our food. It was terrible. Dry chicken, small salad portions and the mashed potatoes came out of a box and were watery and gritty. AWFUL FOOD. read more

I go crazy for Middle Eastern fast food so I'm hesitant to write this review. I've noticed that small townsfolk give out way too many stars, and the restaurants in Williamsport definitely take advantage of having a captive audience. I'm actually sitting in Los Angeles eating the same shawarma sandwich that I tried to get in Williamsport but this one is great and that one sucked. I knew I was in trouble when they threw the meat onto the grill after slicing it off the skewer. Uh oh... The sandwich fell apart into a big greasy mess as soon as I tried to eat it. This place is strictly takeout so don't even think of eating in their cramped hotbox of a store. But if you really like ethnic fast food you'll be badly disappointed. Apparently people can screw up anything including fast food. Oh well, I tried... read more

Website offers online ordering through the restaurant - DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!! After receiving confirmation of the order and a pick-up time, the order was not received. 30 minutes later, still dictating the details of a very simple order. Definitely will not be supporting this business ever again. read more

Crown Fried Chicken - Yummy cheeseburger - Falafel Near Me - Williamsport, Pennsylvania

You will not find better drunk or hangover food in town. Whether it's 2am or 2pm you'll be happy with your meal. CFC has mediocre fried chicken but amazing middle eastern food including gyros. Get a gyro, maybe two so you can eat leftovers. You have an option of lamb or chicken and pita or rice. I highly recommend the lamb on rice for a genuine hangover cure. The rice is a yellow rice with a mix of Arabic and Indian seasoning. The lamb is more traditionally seasoned gyro meat with a delicious smothering of white sauce. No, I don't know what the white sauce is. Nobody does. It's delicious, just accept the sauces and all of its glory. Their salads are shockingly good as well. I wouldn't go there just for the salad but if you have that one assho... poorly informed person in your group that won't eat meat, you can still order from CFC. They should be as happy as any non-carnivore could ever be while eating. I've always had great service and the staff has never been anything but welcoming and friendly. While they do deliver, I do not recommend it. The wait time is foooorrrreeeesevvvveeeeerrr. read more

Great food at great price. We have been going there for 2 years and fell in love with their food and hospitality. In case if you do not know the sad news, the owners met fatal car accident in the afternoon of September 12, 2016. http://wnep.com/2016/09/12/coroner-called-to-crash-on-route-220/ Unfortunately Fazal Malik and Ali Shah passed away. Yousef survived with some injuries. I have created a fundraiser to support them, in case anyone is interested in donating: https://www.youcaring.com/yousaf-and-families-of-fazal-and-ali-651113?fb_action_ids=10155160175452004&fb_action_types=youcaringcom%3Ashare read more

Very friendly and helpful staff, great quick food. Gyros great! Kids love the fries.

The food here is crazy good. Owner came out to ask if we liked the food. This place would get 5 stars from me if the had some more seating. The goat and lamb is amazing. A must try read more

Came here for curry and never thought one could make it "not good". Haven't tried the chicken yet...

They won't deliver until 2:30pm past the lunch hour just a heads up. Otherwise the food is fantastic.

When I need my Gyro fix...this is the place. The staff is very friendly. Glad we have some different food options to try in the area.
