they make your order under 10 minutes. They have really good chicken sandwich and four and six and 10 piece chicken

This is the most authentic you could ever imagine. Can't get any better than the crappy computer print out of Jay-Z working there in the 90's. Get me a biscuit and watch your back out the door for a lotta random chaos out in the street for real read more

Ok, so it's Fried Chicken Sunday once a Month. I got the Picnic Box with is 9 mixed Chicken..,and Coleslaw and 2 Mashed Potatoes = 10 plus stars. Fast, Quick, Contactless Delivery! Accurate Orders! Great Customer Service. THEY READ the GRUB-HUB NOTES to call you when they arrive in front of you're building. I'll definitely order again from them! read more

I walked in not that long ago with my husband to order the shrimp basket combo and the mashed potatoes. They charged my card $3 for the mashed potatoes and $11 for the shrimp basket combo =$14 just for me to go home and open the food and there was no fries or drink at all in the bag. So my husband goes back to the place and shows them the issue and they refused to give the rest of our food order and didn't acknowledge the charge! Then proceed to say that they're closed when they close at 12am. Very unprofessional and do not recommend, will be back tomorrow to receive the money that was wrongfully charged! read more

I was around the area looking for a place to eat at 2 am on a Friday night until I found this hidden gem! The food here tasted fresh, even during the time I ordered. Amazing staff, the store was clean and my food was served on time, no questions asked! Definitely a must try if you're around Bed-Stuy, the delicious selections on their menu will make you leave full and happy! Best part of the night! read more

Solid fried chicken and sides. Everything arrived hot and fresh, and in less time than expected. The chicken is crispy and well seasoned. We tried the biscuits, which smelled and tasted heavenly. The corn was fresh. The mashed potatoes and gravy were fine. Standard potatoes, swimming in gravy. Mac and cheese was good. Very similar to Stouffer's Mac and cheese. The best side was the coleslaw. It was garlicky and zesty. Reasonable prices and way better than KFC! read more

Tasty chicken strips. The spicy sauce they gave was good. You get plenty of fries with your chicken strips and a free drink. Very affordable! My friend got a turkey burger... It was a cold and dark time in our lives. He sobbed tears of joy as he bit into that sandwich. I have never seen a grown man so content. Thank u. read more

The delivery man was over an hour late, asked me to come down 3 times, when he was at incorrect addresses, and was really rude when he made it to my place. I kindly asked him to come up this time (1floor up) because I was in the middle of cooking something and didn't want to risk burning my home and he then threatened me to cancel the delivery if I don't. He just left and hung the phone on me. I called the restaurant per say to tell them to manage their delivery person and they just brushed the situation as if nothing happened. I do not recommend to anyone to spend their money where they are not respected and valued especially when the fault was made by the vendor. read more

they charge your card more than what the food charges, dont know how to be generous with sauces, doesn't use glove, I've seen the cook wipe his nose then go back to cooking. 0/10 wouldn't go back read more

Jigga used to work here and the popcorn chicken melts in your mouth. Not much else to say. This is bullet proof style takeout, so don't expect much in terms of ambiance. You're on the edge of the Marcy projects. Price example: Popcorn chicken, french fries & soda : $4.50 read more

Would be zero if possible! Rip off business and rude staff. I ordered through a waste-saving app they are registered with. I called in advance before picking up my food and the old man working hung up on me. I arrived and they deny me my purchase although I paid and showed him my receipt and order multiple times. Old mustached guy working kept denying and started verbally harassing me for simply asking for the order I paid for! What kind of business is that I don't understand. If you do not wish to sell food, close down or at least hire staff who are not a*holes turning away paying customers. read more

This is close to fried chicken perfection. Ask Jay-Z he used to be a regular, this is in his old neighborhood. This area is quickly changing but I'm hoping this family business has a permanent home here. Even for a big piece like the center chicken breast, the outer skin is crisp and inside meat is moist. Tried it here twice and both times we finished eating out of the box on our walk home, it's that good! This is how every fried chicken supposed to be made! P.S. The sweet potato pies are delicious! read more

Only thing holding this place up is a Picture of JAY-Z visiting the place. Other than that food was terrible . Threw away both meals since the chicken tasted sour and old. Never again. Don't recommend unless you want to waste money and have an upset stomach. read more

Crispy on the outside + juicy on the inside + piping hot + great flavor + awesome service = pretty much heaven out of a deep fryer. Eating fried chicken in Jay-Z's hood = priceless. read more

Stop by Crown after a long bike ride over the Williamsburg Bridge. Enjoyed a delicious grilled chicken salad w/ aloe vera mango juice. I was actually surprised that they offered that. It was a Delicious combination highly recommended!!!! read more

Crown Fried Chicken - Mmmm YUMMY Salad !!! - Fast Food Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Have been coming here for quite a few years. Chicken has always been great but they changed up their recipe for breading as of late and the chicken is EVEN BETTER. Classic crown fried chicken joint in the heart of BK. Easily the best spot in Marcy. I've read a couple of reviews.. some person mentioned a couple of racist workers?¿ I've grown to know the owner and the workers there very well, this has been an established business since the 90s. I've never encountered racism out of any of the workers EVER. Always has been great service and GREATER food. Anyways y'all gotta hit this spot up for some good a** fried chicken man believe me!!! read more

Crown Fried Chicken - closeup of fried chicken - Fast Food Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I would visit often while I lived nearby. After hearing it was Jay-Z's spot I had to go.The chicken is quite delicious, affordable and fresh! Literally, the flavor is exquisite and the skin is perfectly crispy. On a few occasions, the chicken had been sitting out for too long and was dry. I had also gonna a few hard overcooked pieces that were not great. One day when I was here I witnessed an encounter between a young black boy and an employee that really did not sit well with me... Other than the hit or miss chicken and the slightly racist encounter, it's not that bad. In the words of Jay-Z, "Everyone needs a chance to evolve" so better luck next time Crown. read more

This chicken is the best. Really cheap for the price and you do get a lot of fried chicken. Seasoning makes you weep with joy and makes you ponder at 3 am why you did not try this earlier. Mash was terrible but hey, no one goes to this place for mash, right? read more

Jay-Z, Jay-Z, yadda, yadda, yadda... how many white kids can mention that there's a picture of Jay-Z hanging on the wall of this fried chicken spot... it's an alright place for chicken... they're cash only and all of a sudden after a tax audit or something they decided that tax actually wasn't included in their prices after all... that was about 6 months ago... that was when I stopped going there... cans and bottles of Pepsi products and an official Slush Puppy machine... Honestly I'd prefer Popeye's chicken to Crown... but whatever... oh and I'll upload the picture of Jay-Z up to the site, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't even taken at this chicken spot... dorks. read more

Ordered here online. Never received my food. How do you have the nerves to confirm an order and not even bother to make it? read more

This chicken is the bomb. Absolutely the best chicken wings I've ever had. Hole in the wall with no seats... don't let them fool you. For the price absolutely amazing. Get some chicken wings and take them home! Dip them in hot sauce and ranch and eat those dam thangs up!!! 12 wangs for 11 bucks. Jesus is shaking his head on this place. especially late night! read more

This is the most puzzling thing and upsetting experience when it comes to ordering delivery. My order took over one hours to be delivered to my home when it was said 15-30 minutes. Then the delivery man asks me to come down to get my food. I live on the 3rd floor. Isn't the whole point of getting delivery is so you don't have to leave your apt??? And that's why we're ordering delivery knowing to tip for this service??? Anyways the delivery man gave me such an attitude because I wouldn't come down. I said to myself, maybe food will make up for this rudeness. Food was okay taste-wise, nothing special... All my chicken order was on the burnt side, dissappointing. Squished burger... So upset. read more

Worst breakfast ever. The sausage was bad and smells like fish. I took a bit and threw it in the trash. And their Mac n cheese is sour.

Chicken was dry, over cooked and not flavorful. Not sure what all the hype is about this place. Maybe cuz Jay Z liked it? Won't try again.

When there is nothing in my fridge or I'm just too lazy to cook i often walk the one block to crown fried chicken for some delicious, tender chicken. This place is a staple for late night gathrings and parties as well. It's not rare that a few friends disappear and then reappear with red cardboard boxes of fried chicken. The chicken is what they do best. I usually purchase the nine piece special for five or six bucks and make my own potato side. Their mashed potatoes are so small you will wish you hadn't asked. read more

Fried chicken and burgers are really good. Accepts cash only which is annoying, otherwise my go to spot for an occasional fried chicken treat. read more

I ate here a few times 6 years ago. I still remember it. I dream of it. I dream of one day finding fried chicken as good as this. I ordered a 6pc fried chicken basket with a biscuit and fries. Spicy. Like everyone else says: Crispy outside and juicy inside...but to an extent you never thought possible. To this day I am not satisfied with fried chicken...this place ruined all other fried chicken for me. When you eat here, be sure you mail me some chicken to Colorado. I would really appreciate it. read more

The chicken is the kind that's fried, frozen, then refried. You can tell by how gray the meat is, and the poor texture of the breading. The regular chicken and wings will be hot and crispy, but it will taste old, slimy, and VERY salty. The "crispy buffalo wings" are very soggy despite a super fast delivery. I think they were cooked and sauced at least an hour before I ordered them. The burger was the best part of my meal, but you can get better and cheaper at McDonalds. Needless to say, I won't be back. read more

I have been a loyal customer of this place for years. I always make sure to make a quick stop anytime I visit NY. Unfortunately, I moved to NEw Jersey a few years ago, so I don't get to visit as much as I would like. The pizza roll, and gyros are amazing!! Although, the chicken is also really juicy. Did I mention their sweet potatoe pies? Who doesn't love a good old sweet potatoe pie? Not only do I visit for the food, but the employees are all very sweet as well. They know I'm usually in a hurry and need to get out as soon as possible to try to beat NYC traffic back into jersey. So they always make sure to get my order in as quick as possible. Everyone is very friendly, and the food is always fresh. Worth a visit! read more

Their delivery bike riders literally ride on the sidewalks in Crowded areas with zero regard for the safety of other people. They also don't care when you say something about it and are very rude. Also the chicken is disgusting and soggy Anyways. read more

I've got something real to say about this place. First off, the fried chicken is hands down my favorite over in this neck of the woods. If you want something with a little more of a variety, go for the shawarma plate, the meat used is finger-licking good. If you're itching for some dessert afterwards, try out the sweet potato pie. Aside from the decent food, consider the fact that you're eating at a place where Jay-Z himself worked at. My review isn't as lyrical as Jay-Z would have described this place but quality speaks and works here. Will definitely be coming back here on my next trip. read more

What can I say? This place is usually on point and sometimes gives me more food than I ordered. Everyone is super nice. Great spot when you have that urge for some fried chicken and hot sauce! A little dangerous too, it's good. read more

This is my first review regarding the last time I'll go to this place. The taste is amazing, the flavor is heaven, cheap as hell. The combos are so cool, is the perfect meal for a hangover, a drunk night and a guilty pleasure. Tasty and cheap, bed stuy and brooklyn. What more can you ask for? read more

My food was okay, but part of it was missing and incorrect. I tried to call the restaurant and explain but that did not help the worker tried to play stupid. I WILL NOT ORDER FROM THIS PLACE ANYMORE. read more

Kind of feels like I'm at a liquor store buying chicken with the setup but the Chicken is real good, hell even the onion rings were good. Could take some time to get your order but it's worth it. read more

HELLO EVERYONE, JAY-Z WAS HERE i was raised here, this is my fathers chicken store.. if you want more information about Jay Z and the history, theres a magazine that Jay Z wrote in about the chicken store in marcy projects that he used to work at, which is this one. He wrote this biography in 1998-1999. :) read more

Food was delivered after 1h30min. Cold. My bacon egg onion cheese omelette was a tiny fried egg. Wrong order. Chicken was blue around the bone. Side orders were cold. Shrimp salad came without dressing. Who eats a salad with out dressing? Delivery boy was down stairs sitting on my railing. Looked at me funny when i tipped him $3 on $20 when the good was 45min late... Gimmie a break Crown Chicken! read more

It's a coin flip on what your going to get. One day the food . Although not healthy, looks great. The other day it looks awful. It can do be really salty. I wish they focused more on the quality and had more sauces available! read more

I've been coming here since I was a kid, it's the best place to fried chicken in not only a 15 mile radius but 30 mile radius. Hell it's the best place to get fried chicken in the Tri-state area! Food is great quality and portions are great! read more

Best chicken spot in BK. Ask JAYz that 21 pce special was a life saver on thanksgiving eve. Store is clean and halal. I don't recommend going anywhere else. read more
