The Soul Rolls was amazing. Very unique & innovative approach to egg rolls. I tasted the Mac & Cheese, Yams, & Cabbage. I would recommend working on finding a dip to go with the egg rolls The Punch was also very good. I was service by a very delightful lady Ms. Khaliyah (sorry if I spelled her name wrong). She was such a joy to talk too. Bring back the spicy chicken wing challenge! We tasted the spiciest sauce they offer for the wings and it was spicy. At first it was sweet but it creeps up on you really fast! Black Owned Restaurant! Support!! read more

Food was delicious and filling. All concepts worked well together. Customer service was lacking. No welcome or greeting. My 1 year old spilled entire drink when we first sat down and let them know and didn't get a complimentary replacement drink for a $6.00 strawberry lemonade. (Which pricing was confusing as the menu only shows it was $3) The ambiance was more takeout with seating to wait and peak in ya platter. Also, only available sauce to go was the sweet and spicy ;( seeing the plethora of sauces available for sell this was quite disappointing as these sauces are "award winning"... food was good though. If I'm in the area definitely shall return and recommend especially for takeout. The food is so good however you would hope the ambiance reflected that as you would want to sit down and enjoy your food at that moment. SN: this menu would work very well in Philadelphia especially on South Street ;) read more

If I could, I would give this place a zero. This was my first time there, and I had high hopes even though I heard nothing but negative things about it. Nonetheless, I decided to give it a try. I ordered stuffed salmon, green beans, a cheesesteak, and an egg roll. Firstly, my salmon was completely burnt on the inside and no stuffing, rendering it inedible. Secondly, I paid $6.00 for half a cup of green beans, which were just okay. Lastly, the cheesesteak egg roll was merely a large roll of meat with no cheese, onions, dipping sauce. What a waste of $30 read more

At some point during quarantine, The Great Food Truck race came back on Food Network. Watching the first episode, I was hooked on the team wearing comfort food written on their shirts. This was my team. Crystal said something like "It ain't soul food unless it's season right" and I agreed. Then their introduction said they were from Philly. What?!?! Specialize in wings and sauces? I'm in. I looked them up, thought they were in Lansdale (my wife would argue that I rush things and don't pay attention) and wanted to get there once the World opened back up. They impressed Tyler with their Deviled Eggs. Possibly invented the Champagne sauce on the show? Right? I don't know, but if they already had this in their arsenal, that was an unfair advantage for this team. Anyways, this was on my list of places to go, but then these George Floyd protests started up. I was trying to support my favorite places that make up my community during Covid-19, but now I wanted to support businesses that I haven't been to, but still make up our community. The first place to pop into my head was Crystal's Comfort Food. They had some frozen food and sauces, so I placed my order for two chicken sandwiches, Swai nuggets, and honey mustard, sweet and spicy, champagne, along with the Cajun butter sauce. Picked up my order on the weekend and saved it all for tonight. I cut open the vacuum bag of Swai nuggets and put some of them in the oven. I used my vacuum sealer to seal the bag back up for later. Reheated the chicken sandwiches too. Sadly, my sandwich roll was too done, but i Heated my wife's in less then. Smothered them in champagne sauce and ate my meal. The sandwich was alright, but it was frozen. I think I'd reheat it differently next time, maybe wrapped in foil in the oven, or delegate out the roll and fry the chicken again? Not sure. Hopefully I could just get the food fresh from crystals though... The Swai nuggets were so good. Something I've never had before. I ate them plain, with champagne sauce and then we opened the sweet and spicy. That was good... really good... you'll keep my business with flavor and they did it here. No napkins for me either. Can't waste that flavor in a piece of paper that will go in the trash. I have a tongue, I can clean the sauces up. I'm hoping the covid world beginS to open back up. I didn't want to get frozen wings, so I can't wait to try them when we return. We're probably doing crabs for Father's Day and I'll bust out the Cajun butter sauce for that. My father in law won't want it, but that just means more for me... read more

everytime I have a craving for chicken wings or soul food and I'm in the area I come to crystals & they hit everytime. Chicken wings are my favorite but I've had the chicken soul rolls. Today I had the spicy and sweet chicken cheese fries and oh my god, i can't stop thinking about it, it's so good!! I've had the champagne wings, mac and cheese, yams, cabbage, and the fish nuggets. Everything was good I love how they make the wings crispy. I'd say my favorite side is the mac and cheese and my all time favorite right now are the speciality fries. read more

My husband saw Crystals on the food truck race and wanted to come here. He placed an order online and we came to pick it up on a Saturday afternoon. We got there right after it was supposed to open I think it said 1:00 online , but it wasn't open and there was a note on the door saying it was closed. I yelled at my husband because he never checks store hours or calls people, I thought maybe they had to close because of the coronavirus. But we went to a kohl's about 10 minutes away and he then decided to message them online. They said they were open, so we drove back there again after Kohl's. Maybe it just opened late? I dunno We picked up our food and the man working at the counter was very friendly and talkative. We got 2 frozen chicken sandwiches, swai nuggets, and a bunch of sauces. The swai nuggets were actually really good. Seasoned very well with a lot of flavor, tender and moist. We heated them up in our toaster oven. The chicken sandwiches didn't turn out too good, it said to microwave them and it made the chicken dry. I'm sure it's different if you're actually eating it at the store, we'll have to try to eat there sometime. The sauces were very good. I liked the champagne sauce and the sweet and spicy sauce. We didn't get to try the butter sauce yet, I want to get crabs sometime and put that on it. I wanted to try the sweet potato wing sauce but they didn't have it. We will have to try to go back sometime to get wings at the store. read more

[467] This new local place opened up so I had to try it. Stopped in 8pm on a Saturday evening. Parked on the side street as this restaurant is on the main road. The staff was very nice and friendly. Inside had two tables and a few counter chairs. I'm guessing more tables are on it's way since the restaurant looked really empty/bare. We ordered a bunch of items and I was disappointed that the food was room temperature. Luckily I went straight home so I was able to pop it in the microwave (which I prefer not to do if I'm paying for take out). I guess I should have known since it was ready in less then 5 minutes. Wing platter - Chicken wings - cousin said it was ok but hubby enjoyed them. Candied yams - They were very good. We all agreed on that. Mac and cheese - It was good. Cabbage - cousin said it had too many onions and didn't enjoy Cornbread was ok Pound cake which is sold by the slice $1 was very good. I'm kind of surprised that a comfort/soul food place does not serve fried chicken. The other main plates on the menu are not really my thing so I'll be back but only for sides and probably the pound cake. read more

Soooo good food was like homemade get the Mac and cheese it's amazing as well as the strawberry lemonade

We had so much hope for this place. First we called in an order and ordered the seafood wings, the girl who took the order asked me to hold came back and asked what else I would like. Go to pick up the food to be told they don't have the seafood wings available which leads me to believe she may have known, asked someone and then still let us order it. They said they meant to call us back and got busy. The place was dead. Also ordered the Parmesan garlic wings and an order of cabbage. The wings looked burnt and tasted burnt, the sauce had zero flavor. The cabbage was SO salty, we couldn't even eat it and threw it out. read more

I've been around since the introduction of chicken wings. I have had endless style, sauces, seasonings and cooking techniques. On Sunday 1/22 I ordered 12 wings from crystal's. They are by far the worst wings I ever had. They were over cooked to the point of being burnt and rock hard on the exterior. They we're totally tasteless except for the burnt taste. In stead of returning them I stripped the usable meat off the bones and fed it to my dog. I usually give a place three chances but these were so bad I'm not sure I can force myself to try again. I'm even considering starting a Facebook account so I can post this on there. read more

I finally got a chance to visit Crystal Comfort Food Restaurant. It was my day off and me and my sister went for a ride. I decided to take a drive to try the wings that everyone's was talking about. The new location of a restaurant is very very far from Philadelphia my sister thought I was crazy. To drive all the way out there too try some chicken wings she didn't know what the big deal was and neither did I. But when we took this long drive the wings was ok. I think because it was different kinds of flavors of Wayne's debt in the flavors of wings that was the height of the chicken wing. The lemon pepper was too salty for me. It seemed like half of the bottle of salt was pulled on the wings. My sister hit the barbecue hot I think that's the name of them but we totally forgot but they was ok too. We also ordered a order of fries they also put half a bottle of seasoning salt on the fried they was too salty for us to eat so we had to throw him away. Ordered two strawberry lemonade it was too sweet and no ice We were thinking if it was ice in the cup and it might diluted a little bit. Crystal was very nice but very busy. This is a black own business They had another location in land style but they closed it. This location is really a no man's land but if you think about it is no other place walking distance or driving distance that make chicken wings. They even order trays of macaroni and cheese for their parties. They also need help A restaurant is located in the shopping mall. Oh I forgot to tell you about the wings the crust of the wings was good the taste was OK like i stated earlier mice was too salty to really enjoy i had to take a paper towel to watch the salt and pepper off. It was a little expensive for 3 whole wings was $9 and 6 was $18. When we opened our container we couldn't even pull off because we wanted to see and what the chicken tastes lik. They took 3 whole wings and cut them up to seem like you have wing things but truly you just have 3 whole wings cut up. This restaurant is convenient if you live in the area. I also wanted to try the food because Crystal and her Family was on The Great Food Truck Race. And that's one of my favorite shows But I truly wish I would try the wings when she was in Lansdale. They used to have delivery for their wings I might try that next time but with no seasonings at all. And what was crazy also that you had to pay a dollar for whatever saw she wanted on your wings. Every song you have to pay for even if is a different sauce which they did not offer. And unfortunately they did not win the great food truck race but I still wanted to try the food. The restaurant has a nice size you can see them preparing your food we didn't have a long way but some of the tables was pushed back because it the covid restrictions. People in the area probably never had chicken wings because they have variety flavors of sauces like sweet potato, sour cream, barbecue harbanera and The menu has so many sauces it was kinda confusing especially the one that was wrote on the board which is the wall. When is your 1st time there you look in and looking and then you decide to pick one like I did and it was too salty it wasn't even like I could take it back because I lived too far. That was $30 down to drain. If you knew there check out the wings and let me know what you think.NO SALT!!!!! read more

I visited a few months ago and the food was amazing! I went back this weekend and there was a noticeable change in the taste of the food. I had a Groupon and was told it is no longer accepted although it doesn't expire until April 2022. It would have been nice to notify customers; post on social media or on the website. Ordered salt and vinegar wings as well as champagne wings, sautéed cabbage and macaroni and cheese. The wings were well done, but did not taste like salt and vinegar, champagne wings were good but really sweet,macaroni and cheese was cheesy but bland and the cabbage was brown and extreme salty. Definitely not worth the price. Based on this recent visit I doubt there will be a third. read more

I have been waiting to try the food at this restaurant for some time. The mac and cheese was okay. The collard greens were pretty bad. The chef added so much sugar that I thought I was eating candy yams...unbelievable. I will give this place another chance. I did notice that discounts are given to professionals who service the community such as firemen/women and nurses....which is kind. read more

I follow Crystal's Comfort Food on Facebook and Instagram. So I always see their wings. I stopped in on a Sunday, looked kind of gritty. But I'm like watever. I ordered the sweet and spicy wing platter with Mac and cheese and greens. The wings were good, can't lie! But the sides were a joke. The greens tasted like salty glory greens from the can and the Mac and cheese was disgusting. They charged for cornbread which taste nasty. I would only go for the wings and that's it. They should just be a wing shop and that's it. read more

I really wanted to love this place. I heard rave reviews and I saw them on tv. I walked in and the restaurant did not look very appealing, but I was able to let that go. I mentioned that it was my first time and the person behind the counter did not try to sell me on the menu, mention any best selling items, or even thank me for coming in. Customer service has to be superb in the restaurant business.Maybe he was exhausted, so I'll let that go. I ordered the crab cake, macaroni and cheese, and green beans. After waiting 15 minutes, my food was lukewarm, including my crab cake. The food was heavily seasoned and unbearable to eat. The macaroni and cheese was the worst I've ever had. Sadly, after I spent $20, I had to throw away all of my food. This was supposed to be a graduation treat for myself and I was disappointed. read more

Mabey because they are new and still trying to figure things out. The crab platters are not fresh, the food was mushy and over cooked. I'm only speaking about the crab platter. I haven't tried the soul food so I can't speak on that. read more

Ever since I touched down in USA, I have been slow poisoned into wing tasting. It all began when I started living next to Union Jack, Roxborough Philadelphia. They claimed and as someone told me were the best wings in town! Id had a fair share of my wings over the last few years from many spots that rave "best wings" but boom I finally hit the spot in Crystal's, - top notch flavors, home style delivery and cosy environment - made me feel like home Im thinking of buying a house near here just for these wings, thats how much I love them read more

Got the Wings with Champagne Sauce, Soul Bowl, Philly Cheesesteak Quesadilla and a Lemonade. Everything was amazing.

First time trying this food. The place is t where it was so the directions need to be updated. Ordered spicy wings with fries as ranch wings with cabbage and sweet potatoes. Strawberry lemonade. The food was good the wings were crispy and on the big side. The sauce was really good. The potatoes and cabbage was really good. The best thing was the lemonade. Nice and flavorful. Not too much tartness not too much strawberry. Just right( delicious). Would definitely go back again read more

Don't believe the hype. Highly disappointed. Been trying to get here for a while only to hate the food. Food was not ready in the 30-40 minute window they stated. Took over an hour and a half only to get left over food from yesterday. Mac was dry, tasteless and def cooked days before. Cabbage old and soggy, bottom of salmon burnt (only thing made fresh) devil egg crab salad was OK. The sweet potato wings we OK as well. Prob the only thing that tased like something I would purchase again. I didn't taste sweet potato more like brown sugar wings but whatever. Totally a waste of my time and money. For the $50 wasted on two platter I would have rather go to a restaurant. Pic to follow. I only speak facts. I give credit where credit is due but I def let you know if the experience is not a good one. NOT NOT BE RETURNING! read more

We've driven past this place several times and I really wanted to try it. Sunday night (yesterday) seemed like the perfect time. Called and ordered at 6pm (they close at 7) and my fiance' went to pick up the food. Unfortunately, I was mostly disappointed. The sweet potatoes were not nearly sweet enough to be called candied yams ( which ok, is definitely subjective, I get that) but my poor crab cake was cooked to DEATH! It was dry on the inside and hard, with a burnt ( not Cajun) taste on the outside. Even the regularly fried wings were just o.k. ( read; fried nicely but not well seasoned.) There were two bright spots; the potato salad was tasty and the shining star was the sweet n spicy wings that of course, my fiance ordered ( so I only had one- though he offered more.) Can't say that I'll be back except maybe for wing night... read more

It's crazy how you try to support a black owned business and they cant keep up with their hours. I drove 35 min to get wings from them. Got there 55 minutes before their closing hours and they were closed. Even tried to call first and their voicemail stated their hours and that they open but they are not answering calls because they aren't taking any more phone orders. Very disappointing. Ridiculous. read more

I ordered from here to support a new black owned business, but as you can see from my rating, I was highly disappointed. The food arrived and was still warm, which was a plus. It looked like it was about to taste so good, but surprisingly even with great presentation, it tasted very bland. The baked mac & cheese was dry and missing the cheese part of It. The seasoned green beans had no seasoning whatsoever on them, and the sweet and spicy wings were just ok. The sauce tasted more like bbq, and weren't cooked the way I requested which was fried hard. Also, I only had 5 wings in my platter, but the menu said I should have 6 along with the 2 sides. Even the cornbread muffin was hard and tasteless. I literally took a few bites of each thing and was over It. Waste of money and time... I definitely won't be ordering again. read more

I did not enjoy this meal. Now I NEVER write reviews, this is my first, but I was absolutely disappointed. I had bbq wings, the sauce was good, however the chicken was very chewy/hard. I couldn't even swallow it. The Mac and cheese was just Mac. There was barley any cheese. I tried to add salt to the blandness but it didn't help. The green beans had a seasoning in there that I could not identify but it was not something my tastebuds agreed on. The cornbread appeared to be store bought and very sticky like. I also did not eat that. I also ordered an extra side of potatoe salad which was ok and although it was only ok, it was best part of the meal. I ordered this food from Uber eats and I am currently contacting them for my money back, something else I've never done as well. Very disappointed! read more

As someone who frequented Crystal's Comfort while in Lansdowne, PA and actually loves their wings, I was very disappointed yesterday after driving almost an hour and a half to find they were closed. The day before heading to Delaware, I actually called the restaurant. A voicemail came on that said "please listen to this message in its entirety", which I did. Nowhere in the voicemail did it state that Crystal's would be closed for a week from 8/17 to 8/25. The voicemail also stated to check their website for any updates and before coming to the restaurant, which I ALSO did the day before and day of. Again, nowhere did it state the restaurant would be closed for a week. I even went to the section of the website for "latest news" and again no messages. To my surprise, we get to the restaurant to find this sign on the door "Closed for Vacation 8/17 to 8/25". As a business, I'm actually shocked that this was neither on their voicemail or website. Everyone is not a local customer. Some people actually travel to patronize establishments. There were multiple people who I saw walking up to the door and then turning around or going to the restaurant next door. Customer service is definitely an area of need. In the future, when closing your business, please take a few minutes to update your voicemail and website. It's only right for your customers, especially ones traveling from out of town! read more

No long waits. The food is always great. I absolutely love the wings. Customer service is on point. I will definitely recommend this place.

Only speciality I have to say is their wings. Not sure why they have set times on their store just to be CLOSED when you arrive. Even after waiting 30-40 mins. That part I do not understand. I wish the punctuality was better because you want to support #BlackOwned business. So unfortunate. read more

Was in Lansdowne for business and walked by this restaurant at @ 2:45 PM. I thought I'd give this place a try. All I can say is that I will never return. I don't eat meat. Nope out of crab cakes. OK. I ordered 3 sides. Out of potato salad..."it's being made". The cabbage was somewhat tasty. I'm not sure if it was supposed to be fried, but it was brown. The other two sides were garlic potatoes and collard greens. The potatoes were edible, but I could not detect garlic or much seasoning. The greens were AWFUL. They tasted like they'd been boiled in water and nothing else. At $4 per side dish, I should be able to tell a good story @ the food here. It's neither comforting nor good. read more

I think they need better cooks. I was so excited and disappointed in my platter. They really need to work on their Mac and Cheese. My boyfriend enjoyed his wings. read more

The sticky wings have good flavor. However, the are too big causing them not to become crispy and cooked all the way through without being wet inside. The seafood egg salad is extremely sweet (horrible in my opinion) & the Mac & Cheese is basic (lacking flavor). I also ordered the fish but since the chicken & fish is cooked in the same fryer my fish came out dark (not sure how often the grease is changed) also, her help (her boyfriend or whomever) will cause the business to cease he is very unprofessional. This will be my first and last time ordering from this establishment. read more

Been waiting to try this place when I saw they were opening in Middletown, DE and finally got a chance to stop by today. Let me say, I've lived all over the US and I've never spent $80 for some wings, mac n cheese and a fish sandwich. The food is extremely overpriced and I was underwhelmed by the taste. This is one of those fool me once shame on you situations because it will not be a fool me twice. Now don't get me wrong, I'm someone that will spend good money on quality but when I'm eating at a mom 'n pop storefront restaurant, I should not be paying these types of prices. In Atlanta, I could get a 10 piece wing meal with fries and a drink for $12, the wings alone at this place are $18 (nothing else included as you even pay for the sauce). Ridiculous! This place is a no for me. read more

I soooo wanted to enjoy this place. Firstly, in general, I have an issue with any business where I don't feel welcomed or greeted in a way it makes me want to come back. I got a half, hello and that was it. As far as the food the sweet potatoes were very good, not too sweet but flavorful. I did not like the mac and cheese. It did not have a lot of flavors and reminded of the cheap cheese people use to save money. My salmon was the worst. It was almost burned and there were at least seven to eight bones I almost choked on eating it. read more
