One of The best fried chicken around our city! Crown Fried chicken has been around for quite a long time and they never disappoint! The service is quick but it can get very busy at times bc of their reputation of having some of the best fried chicken around! There is availability in parking spaces and it is across the street from Lincoln High School. I have heard people mentioning that it can be a little sketchy around this area, but, never have I encountered any problems. Just mind your business, get that Yummy Fried Chicken and you're good! Usually, when I order from here, it's early evening hours and weekends early hours before 5pm and the line can be pretty long but it's not that bad of a wait. Definitely worth waiting for and definitely highly recommend!! If in the area, you should give it a try bc it won't disappoint!! read more

The best chicken I've ever had. I tried other places, but nothing matches up. I had some fries and rolls with it, it complimented the meal perfectly. The cashier was super nice and gave great service. Will definitely go again! read more

This spot is the best and cheapest for a proper fast food meal in Jersey city. Everybody loves crown chicken.....Try it

Best fried chicken spot in Jersey City, and in the words of the great Rick Ross, "You ain't even kno it". It's tucked away in one of Jersey City's many "up and coming" neighborhoods (i.e. the type that many will lock their doors and run red lights while driving through at night). It's a shame because like many places in JC, the neighborhood is gritty but you won't be subject to random acts of violence (I think). Ok maybe the 3" bulletproof plexiglass guarding the cashiers might tell you otherwise. But still, it's worth a trip out here! The chicken is delicious and super cheap, and the hot sauce packets they give out are phenomenal. There's a constant flux of customers coming in and out so they always have chicken ready for your consumption. I've always been meaning to try something else here, but damn the chicken is so good that I always wind up going for that. For the JC trifecta, start here for dinner, head over to Ringside Lounge and have some drinks there, and finish off the night with a late night snack at White Mana. So JC it hurts. read more

5:00 pm They kept the bullet-proof glass up when I was ordering. I thought the cashier was sayin that I was soft. Nope. He told me they pull the glass down only when it gets dark. 5:20 pm ::runs the F outta here:: read more

This was the first time I ever seen the cook came out the back from making my Italian cheese burger with his gloves on no mask and open the kitchen door to go outside to get a yellow sign as he entered the store I told him he has to change his gloves he say don't say anything to him even his co workers was telling him to change his gloves he insisted that to not tell him what to do so I told the cashier to give me frie chicken instead this is pure nasty it has to stop a cook should be wearing fresh clean gloves and a mask during this pandemic if it was Jon taffer from bar rescue or chef gordan Ramsay they both would have the chef wash his hand and put on a clean fresh gloves and a mask read more

Chicken to die for. Man for those of us that live on the west side yes Crown Fried Chicken is the landmark of entering a ghetto fabulous area. Don't worry though because the police station is literally right down Communipaw and if you do get shot at least it'll be with a chicken bone and biscuit in yo mouth as you hear Rick Ross playing in the background. Yes that is protective glass dividing you the victim from their staff at the counter =) But the prices are pretty sweet you can get a 3 piece combo or an 8 piece combo depending on which hooligan you've pissed off. Remember not to rock any red bandanas when you enter this arena. And wear your bullet proof vest mofo! read more

Awesome fried chicken - as good as it gets. Fries also excellent. Do not even think of going here at night unless you are with Jason Bourne or an entire Marine Corp platoon. Note that the nearby KFC is fully bulletproof. read more

Better known for having the Soprano's shoot a scene here (episode 'The Fleshy Part of the Thigh') the place can be scary, even though a police station is steps away. Food is 'meh' at best. read more

Filthy. Absolutely filthy. Crown fried chicken is by far, one of the most talked about and well known chicken spots in all of Jersey City. People claim to really love they're food but don't believe the hype. They get a ton of business from people all over and make lots of money which means that they have way more than enough cash to clean up their business. It's unfortunate but most of the people who buy their food willingly ignore the uncleanness of the place just because they enjoy the taste of some of their foods. I'm not one of those people who's willing to sacrifice cleanness for taste, it's very unsanitary and unsafe health-wise. The tables and chairs are all old and contain gum and graffiti on every single one. Do yourself a huge favor, DONT eat here!! read more

Never go wrong with crowns fried chicken.....limited off street parking...good to get a quick meal to go....with the little mash potatoe cups n box of chicken..the location is in a bad neighborhood...but hello,..its a place to eat for a great price..quality and quantity... read more

I love the Italian cheeseburger. This place can get busy during lunch. I've noticed they have more selections but I'm a fan of the Italian cheeseburger, read more

Love their fried chicken and the wings with mac & cheese are my favorites! If you want good chicken these people know how to do it! Serving fresh chicken every couple of minutes...that's just how busy and popular they are! I've never had a complaint...it's a get in and get out kind of establishment and I respect that! read more

Straight up dog food, waste of 20 dollars didn't even eat this $£|¥. But a nibbles out of the chicken and knew this wasn't right. The pumpkin pie was aight though along with the mac and cheese. Definitely use the cheapest oil for their preparation. read more

Damn, i love these fast food restaurants situated in the ghetto area of Jersey City. Their prices are so freaking cheap and offer huge quantity of food. I got 2 pieces of chicken (thighs, thats how i like my chicken) fries and a 16 oz drink for only $3.00. It's pretty ghetto here but the worker there KEEP IT REAL. For that, I respect that. Dont need to beat around the bush. read more

I love fried chicken and this is the place to go. I came here one afternoon to get a three piece dark meat combo. YUM. Their biscuits are way better than Popeyes or KFC. The people may look at me and think I'm crazy for going there but they have been around for ages. It may be in the ghetto but sometimes you can find the best food there. I've been running a lot of errands around Jersey City and I'm not afraid of the "neighborhood" read more

When I first read the reviews for this restaurant, it sounded like an intimidating spot where I would probably not want to go on my own. That said, I made my husband accompany me there over the weekend. It was a sunny day and we were there around 4:30pm. It didn't seem crowded, they had at least two people on the registers and a few people in the back. The smell of the chicken is enough to make your stomach grumble and your mouth water. We ordered a box to share, with a side of mashed potatoes and a side of potato wedges. It came with a lot of rolls which we didn't touch, they aren't made on site, and we didn't really need more carbs with this meal, and you definitely get what you pay for. The serving sizes are large. The chicken didn't disappoint. The outside was perfectly crispy, the seasoning was delicious, it had a great bite to it, and the chicken was perfectly tender and juicy. The mashed potatoes were nothing special but they hit the spot, the potato wedges were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside and very delicious. If you are looking for some good comfort food, look no further. We've had other fried chicken in the neighborhood, and it doesn't even compare. So why 4 stars? Despite the number of employees working and the lack of customers waiting, it took a while to get our food, but when we did get it, it was delicious. I would definitely go again... in the daytime. read more

You feeling like fresh fried chicken? Come here on a Sunday around 11AM. THE best fried chicken on the east coast guaranteed. Our local parishioners are getting out the fryer just like the chicken. For an individual that can eat like they have 3 a-holes get yourself a 5 piece box with mashed and gravy. Biscuits are killer too. Do NOT waste your time on any other type of food here. You and your Lipitor will enjoy working this off in your food coma 20 minutes later. Remember don't leave your car unlocked or running outside. It won't be there when you come back. Also keep your cash close; only bring in what you need. This place closes earlier than it used to due to late night/early morning shootings inside...that should explain why you should keep your purse strings tight.... read more

I had food from Crown chicken on Monday and the next day I didn't feel like myself. I went to the bathroom a couple of times and my stomach felt queasy. I went out that night and was farting quite a few times accompanied by a sick sour stomach. The night before I had 4 pieces of their chicken, fries, 2 biscuits and a small sweet potato pie. The chicken seemed cooked but the drumstick had a little pink by the bone. Also very salty. I will never eat there again. The breast was a little dry also. This feeling lasted about 3 days and I feel a bit better now but not 100%. Avoid this place as I have also heard that they have rats running around on occasion. Yuck! read more

This place is awesome. The chicken is delicious, crispy, and perfectly cooked. Did I mention it's super cheap? I always feel sketchy going here, but if you can overcome the feeling then it's worth the visit. read more

Crown's is the epicenter of Jersey City's HOOD. This place is so dangerous on the late night and the cops aren't going to assist you with any trouble you may encounter with the local residents/customers. You will get jacked (robbed/accosted) if you get caught slipping on Communipaw and Crescent Aves once the skreet (intended misspelling) lights are on. The ambience is reminiscent of Mary J Blige's Burger King Commercial. The chicken is crispy, Eyetalian Cheeseburger kicks Pauly in the Walnuts. The ribs are the bomb diggity. Dessert Menu consists of Bean Pies for my Mooslim Brothers & Sisters, Sweet Potatoe Pie is a favorite of Dan Quayle. The ice cream is cool too. read more

This is the best place to get fried chicken in this hood ! Sometimes I run down here durIng my shopping trips to get a nice snack. I always buy a ten piece when I don't want to cook and add my own sides ! The chicken is juicy and well seasoned ! What I love the most is they have center breasts aka the kiel (not sure if it's spelled that way). Now if you don't want that is you're missing out. It's the meatiest and tastiest part of the chicken. My only gripe with this place is it's cash only besides that I love coming here. read more

This was actually my first time here. When you first walk in, the smell of fried chicken clutters the room. Your first thought is you're about to get your hands on the world's best fried chicken, and you start getting excited to place an order. I got a 4 pcs, with mac & cheese. I thought yummy. I can't wait to sink my teeth into this delicious piece of meat complimented with a small portion of cheesy heaven. I get my order, run back to my car and step on the gas. My mission now is to make it home as fast as possible. The smile on my face was enuff to tell the world I was a happy baby. Now I'm contemplating on whether or not to have a wing in the car. The smell is overbearing and I can't resist temptation anymore. At a red light, I look in the box and methodically hand picked the piece I thought I heard call my name. Then while my mouth is salivating, I open it wide and I thank 7 gods that I didn't close my eyes bc staring back at me was not one but two very long, battered and fried feathers, still dangling from this chicken wing. I immediately had the gag reflex. I now pull the car over bc I feel like I'm gonna puke all over myself. I called the place and told the manager how disgusted I was and that I couldn't believe I was plucking feathers off my dinner. I told him I would have much rather the chicken alive, so I could have cleaned it properly myself. I stepped on the gas and hauled azz back to this shit hole. Now I want my money back asap before I change my mind and just contact the health dept. The look on my face when I swung that door open and stormed in with the bag in my hand, was enough to alert the other customers. That manager looked right at me and he knew I was the one who called. I kid you not, I saw him close his eyes for 5 seconds and I swear he prayed that he'd be in Kansas when he opened them. He took the bag, inspected the chicken and after confirming the feathers, he had the ordacity to look me in the face and ask me if I wanted a fresh order. I looked at him crossed eyed and started shaking. I'm my exorcist voice I said, MOTHAFUKKA!!!!!! Me and this chicken are friends now. No, I don't want to taste his cousin. Give me my money back fast before I go POSTAL!!!!! I will NEVER, EVER drive by this place, again, let alone eat there. I don't care what anyone says, the quantity is large bc the quality is poor. This places is screaming salmonella. I think I'll spend a little more money and enjoy a better dinner in a descent restaurant. Good luck to those who still decide to eat here. (The pic is below as proof, I couldn't make this up) read more

Crown Fried Chicken - Chicken Wings Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

Chicken had no flavor, stale ribs, Mac and cheese seemed out the box. Highlight of the meal the potatoe wedges and roll.
