Here for a brief stay and was looking for food one night when I noticed this place was open unlike most other restaurants in the area. Can't complain at all with a loaded to-go plate of good quality food for a reasonable price. read more

Got horridly sick from the food. Stomach twisting all night, threw it all up and had cold sweats. I was down for over 12hrs! Have never experienced this in my life. I had ordered the grub hub and an order of the lamb & ck mix plate with side of falafels came out to $34 rounded up with fees/tip. Disappointed that I spent money to make myself sick. read more

We just moved right down the road from this restaurant. We finally tried it and were very impressed! The man working there was very kind as we had no idea what we wanted to order! They have such a variety! We ordered quite a spread of food from fried chicken to jerk chicken and deserts. Everything was great. We can't wait to try more from on the menu! read more

Great selection of food from fried chicken to Indian to Mediterranean. Love the fried chicken. The falafel platter was really good but a tad dry. Flavor was great. Atmosphere was more old school KFC. Very nice counter staff did their best to help with selections. We will be back! read more

The tikka kabab over rice is incredible, any of their platters are worth it. Staff is friendly and accommodating.

I like it, reasonable price, I got chicken Tikka masala and beef Tikka kabab, for me the beef is okay, but the chicken is so good read more

Crown Chicken & Grill - Chicken tenders meal - Cheesesteaks Near Me - New London, Connecticut

AWARENESS: What's open late in New London to grub on? According to the Yelp app, Crown Chicken and Grill is that spot. NARRATIVE: This is a re-write of my first review of Crown Chicken and Grill. Seems honesty along with freedom of speech acted as kryptonite for my first review. Crown Chicken and Grill looks like an old KFC but, don't judge the book yet. The food is extremely worth a visit. So, don't be fooled by the resturants unkept appearance from the outside. Inside is well maintained and clean. During my visit and while awaiting our food, I conducted my usual roam-around the restaurant and noted not only was the interior of the restaurant clean but so was their single restroom. Clean, free of graffiti and had an ample amount of supplies. Food - I ordered their 2 piece chicken with a side of corn on the cob. My order came out hot, crispy, very well seasoned and not greasy. SCENE: Crown Chicken is located at the corner of Bank Street and Carroll Court in the town of New London, CT. The area is a mix of shops, banks and other retail type stores. The big plus is; Crown Chicken and Grill is close most nights at 11:00PM. RECOMMENDATION(S): Crown Chicken and Grill is kept extremely clean and well maintained and the food was was AWESOME! Now, time for you to visit. read more

Wow! This place is terrific. The people are friendly, the food is absolutely delicious, and the price is right. No pretense, no flashy details, just neighborhood eats. I highly recommend the lamb gyro combo. Normally I'm not a sauce guy, but thankfully I forgot to request no sauce because oh man, that gyro is a symphony of flavor. It doesn't need a million ingredients Chipotle-style to be outstanding. Lettuce, tomato, onion, sauce, meat, wrap it in a pita. Yum yum! read more

New Management is horrible. Disgusting. It's very dirty. Plus I've seen mice there. They have a old car chair laid in the back of building to sit which looks very unhygienic. NASTY PLACE, Don't go to this place. They don't use GLOVES to prep meals. They're grabbing mops and garbage and preparing meals at the same time. picking there nose and scratching their asses while touching food. Never again read more

Not a shawarma. It's more of a gyro Sloppy looking, not being mean but I really wanted a shawarma. The fries were good, the Jamaican beef patty was not edible it was stale and hard around edges and middle was cold and mushy. I was super excited and didn't meet expectations, I wouldn't order from them again. Specialized in chicken. It's my own fault read more

This place doesn't impress from the outside, however once you taste their food you will definitely be impressed! The place is very clean inside and the management is very friendly and accommodating. The fried chicken is the best I've had! Non-greasy, very crunchy and hot. There is no fat under the skin, which is always a disappointment with fast food places. They have Pakistani and Indian food as well. I can't wait to come back and try some of these new items! read more

Excellent fried chicken, was hot and crispy, even after the trip home in the car! Seasoning was delicious!! Would definitely recommend.

I came here for lunch just to check it out. The service was great. He gave me recommendations on what to try. Went with the mix over rice and it was amazing. The meat was perfect. The rice was perfect. I ended up ordering dinner from here the same day. Definitely a must try. read more

Crown Chicken and Grill located at 922 Bank Street in beautiful, safe, and bright New London, CT. Open daily from 7am-11pm. This local chicken joint took on a daunting task of replacing the chain known as KFC. Lofty shoes to fill. Rumors have it, that the franchise was run by a lunatic, and the stories I've heard lead me to believe that the man's nature led to the demise of KFC in town. Hey, the Groton location is still open. So Crown had a reputation to build, and they've been around quite a while, and I had yet to try them out. I ordered a 10 piece Mixed Chicken special that came with 2 sides and 2 biscuits. I also ordered a "New York style platter", featuring fish over rice with salad. Rice and salad is an unbelievably underrated combination. It is so light, so simple, and so good. The fried chicken was very fresh. It warmed up the car with its exciting and welcoming aroma. I will say that it was quite orange in color, and was very "gas station" quality if you know what I mean. It just had the taste and appearance of "cheap and nuclear" fried chicken. I do not mean to degrade the taste, because I actually like 'gas station' chicken. It is tasty, meaty, and good. Healthy? I did not say that. So again, I cannot help but be reminded of what it reminds me of, but I am not complaining and I thought it was fantastic, and fresh. And cheap, the 10 piece combo meal was $14.99. The sides were a slight disappointment. I ordered corn on the cob, and to my chagrin, neither my parents wanted it, probably wishing for traditional mashed potatoes, but their errant son decided to go rogue. Hey, I thought they'd like the corn more! Regardless, the whole corn on the cob, was very hot, but the texture was very rubbery. Seriously, I thought to myself, this looks, smells, and is presented as authentic corn on the cob, but if you could tell what GMO corn was, this texturally felt like fake corn. Coleslaw. The best coleslaw is KFC coleslaw. It is chopped well, sweet, and crunchy. It is THE coleslaw to beat. The quality can change depending on the restaurant itself, but more or less, KFC has the best. The absolute worst Coleslaw is what I can only describe as some type of vinegary, almost pickled and tangy coleslaw, that I usually identify with store brand coleslaw that comes in bulk. Not to say KFC does individual portions, but to me, supermarket coleslaw is made, according to a diagram, with no love or care given to the end product. I actually did inquire to the counter associate as to the quality of the coleslaw, trying to see if I could gauge an honest answer. Well, the coleslaw did disappoint me, it did taste like supermarket coleslaw. To its credit, it was on the higher end of that category. Here comes the fish! With these New York style platters with other such protein possibilities as steamed shrimp, lamb, and chicken, I had a hard time choosing between the options. Ultimately, the idea that the next day was going to be a BBQ fest full of meat and, well, meat, I opted for the fish. I saw a photo on Yelp of someone's fish and thought I'd give it a chance. But I really do want to try the shrimp and lamb someday. If finding real bones (more than I'd want) in the fried fish in this dish is an indication of freshness, this fish was caught ten minutes before I arrived at Crown. I actually appreciate that, so it doesn't get negative points, and the remainder of the dish was impressive. A ton of fried fish, a bunch of foreign rice, and salad with dressing. It was a meal fit for a Hungry Man, and for only $6.99, it was a hell of a deal. Compare that to a Fish sandwich meal at the double arches, I think Crown is a steal! Overall, I came away from my first visit at Crown impressed. Not everything was perfect, but from the eager, welcoming, and friendly staff to the actual food received, it was a positive experience, and I would like to go back there, anytime I'm in the mood for a cheap, local, and generous meal. read more

The food is not halal, and the place is quite dirty, the workers do not simply care about the customers or even to make sure the food you order is correct. The worker at the front doesnt wear gloves and was picking his nose when he handed me my order and was rude when I called him out on it. Dont go here my brothers read more

Went here for lunch one day with my coworkers and was a bit disappointed. My coworker had raved about the chicken so I had high hopes. The staff was friendly and nice. The place itself seemed a little a bit dirty as the floor was sticky. They have a big menu with lots of items to choose from but I stuck with chicken. The mac and cheese I got as a side was bland and tasted nothing more than velveta I can make at home. The chicken was dry and also bland. I see there are a lot of good reviews for this place so I'm wondering if I just caught them on an off day. The prices were reasonable for the amount of food you get. I just wasn't feeling the food. read more

Best food ever!!!!! So much flavor and taste good I love this place. Every meal is seasoned well and this is coming from a person raised in the Deep South. I will definitely be back to explore their other menu options as the menu is vast. read more

The staff is very polite and friendly. The fried chicken here is nothing short of amazing. The price is good for the quality and portion you receive. I would not recommend the lamb over rice though. The lamb they used taste very similar to the squishy meat they use on a gyro and when I eat the lamb along with the sauce provided I felt like I was eating a deconstructed gyro. I was able to get a mix of chicken and lamb with my rice and I found that I favored the chicken over lamb. Go figure that the chicken would be good at a chicken place. Over all this is a great establishment with good food and friendly people but if I were to go here I would stick with just ordering chicken. read more

Read 4.5 stars! First place in this area that I have found that makes the humble Lamb over rice plate. You even get the sauce like how you would order at the Halal Guys place in nyc. Really good and substantial. Because I can't contain myself when it comes to food I also ordered a piece of fried chicken. I did not know what to expect since it seems most people in New London get their chicken from gas stations...looking at you Sam. Good news is the chicken was fresh and crispy, bad news the chicken lacked any distinguishing flavor to set it apart. So, I docked them 0.5 star. Can't wait to try the chicken and rice and the fried fish, which may earn them back a 0.5 star based on other reviewers' photos. read more

Best Southern Fried Chicken I have had in a long time. The pieces are large and not from those 48 day old chickens that are at the super market rotisserie, but from adult chicken fryers. The breading is great with the right amount of spice, salt and sweet. Counter workers are polite and friendly. Customers are loud but fun and friendly. read more

This place gets five stars, great customer service, Excellent food and inexpensive my favorite is the grilled chicken salad and chicken over rice and salad read more

Great food made on the spot. Lamb over rice is a large portion for only 7 bucks, we'll worth it.

Chicken had no seasoning, the Mac and cheese was bland and hot wings were more salty than hot. The mashed potatoes and gravy and biscuits are good. Stop and Shop fried chicken has better seasoning than here. Not good for fried chicken. read more

Crown Chicken A fast food style Restaurant & locally owned that is located on Bank St. - When you walk through the front door, you will see it is clean, bright and Sunny; we went on a Sunday afternoon. While out with my husband and grand children we decided to stop in. My husband order the lamb and rice, I ordered chicken for two of our grand children and a burger for the other... and fish for me. Not only was the customer service genuinely kind, but the food was delicious and reasonably priced! I am chagrined to say it has taken me 6 months to review this restaurant. I would always prefer to support a locally owned business then go to a chain. So, if you are looking for "Chicken to go" and or can not make up your mind then stop in. They have french fries, Pizza and or Spinach & Cheese egg rolls, along Burgers, fries, Onion Rings, Chicken, Biscuits Breakfasts and desserts and many other items. read more

All I can say is, "Oh, my goodness!" The wings are AMAZING! The fries and macaroni and cheese are pretty terrific too.The prices are incredible! The young lady at the counter was lovely and friendly and the food is worth every dime paid...and more! Great value and great food. read more
