    I'm want to let you know that this franchise is really good. Especially if you love yourself some spicy chicken. Once I found out this location opened and since I was in the area, I decided to stop and make an order. Customer service was great. My cashier greeted me with a smile. I didn't have to wait long for my order. The chicken itself is amazing. It's seasoned very well. The chicken is juicy, and what a flavor bomb because of the spices. I really like that you can pick the spice levels or no spice at all. You really want this chicken because of how spicy it is. I don't care for this location much and probably wouldn't visit it often, but it does have enough seating to dine in, and from the looks of it, it will be a teenage magnet. Happy Yelping!

    Yum yum yum! I tried the spicy chicken sandwich (medium heat) and it was so tasty and flavorful- just the right amount of kick, savory, crunchy, and saltiness added by the pickle and chicken seasoning. I would definitely return and get another sandwich. The Harlem location is clean and staff is friendly and attentive. It was my first time at Dave's Chicken and the gentleman behind the register didn't seem annoyed when explaining the different sauces available and the different type of heat you can add to your chicken. I went on a Thursday afternoon and the place was practically empty with only two other customers sitting and enjoying their meals. I would argue that this chicken sandwich is better than Cane's chicken sandwich which is very similar but doesn't quite have a leg up on Dave's chicken. It just has the right amount of heat and fried perfectly.

    I stopped by one early afternoon and it was empty which meant no long wait time which I like because I was on a time crunch. I loooooved the spicy chicken sandwichThe chicken is huge and you can adjust the spice flavor I got medium. The slaw on the Sandwich is a perfect balance to the spicy chicken. I also tried the cauliflower bites and those were also very good. The fries I liked but I wish they were crispier and the Mac and cheese was good but the star of the show was the chicken sandwich.

    Great view outside.

    Amazing manager great staff he is very nice and he is also very respectful and kind I give him a thumbs up for that. The food is great and I love it so much I would come here again and again. The ambience is clean and great to do when you visit New York City 125.

    Cool and urban vibes.

    Ordered some chicken tenders to check out the taste of this new business. A Friday night for no fuss and fast food in Harlem is a good suggestion for this place. They are friendly at the counter and explain spice levels, if you're scared of spicy flavors and they have cool R&B/soul music while you wait for your order.

    Okay so this spot has only been open for about 2 months at this point and they've done an excellent job. The decor is an edgy spray painted mural with a Harlem twist which keeps it in the ethos of old school. Harlem. Every time I've gone in or passed it, it is impeccably clean. The countertops are stainless steel adding to that very sleek feeling when you enter. The menu is very simple. You can either get fingers or sliders. There are a number of heat levels from no spice to extremely hot. Full disclosure, I have a sensitivity to chicken so I got mild. Needless to say, I enjoyed it. Because of return the next week. Now they start off with two chicken fingers, but before you think that they're skimping on you, those fingers are actually a little under a whole breast size. Joe, I actually didn't finish more than a single finger while I was in the restaurant. Now let's talk about the staff. They are extremely well mannered and give you service with a smile. Dare I say they are refreshing in a city where we're fast food service folks are understandably the stressed out and over it. They welcome you with a smile and generously offer condiments at no extra charge. Not over fried. This tends to irritate my stomach so I appreciate it not having that happen. I didn't want to be too conspicuous so I didn't take a picture of the menu, but the least expensive item is a little over $11 excluding the drinks and fries which are less

    Went to Crown's on a late Sunday night with 2 friends after a night of hanging out. It was my first…read moretime there but my friend from Jersey said it's a staple where he's from. I ordered the 5 piece hot wings and fries. It was so good!! Whatever hot sauce they use is perfect; of course I put more hot sauce on it with the hot sauce packets they gave me. The fries weren't anything special to me. They were soggy, I like my fries a bit more crispy. But what I can say is that they're not stingy at all on the amount of food they give! My friends enjoyed their meal as well. I'm glad I got a chance to experience it.

    This review might just be the tourist in me, but I really liked this place. The guy at the front…read morehad the really New York accent. Like, welcome to New York, what's good, what's popping, where you need to go! He was nice though, asked us what we wanted, pointed to the menu, even talked to the cooks to make sure they were ready for us as soon as we gave him what we wanted. Quick! New York quick! New York is Pepsi, just get used to it, cannot fault the guy or the business. Food, fresh! Food, a little pricey for the amount you get but not crazy! Overall I was a happy camper, though I think some of that had to do with the fact that I had not eaten in a while and that was the first thing to satisfy my stomach, lol. The wings were better than the pizza just to let you know, so FYI, probably anything else with the word, "chicken," in it on the menu is going to be better than the other options. Go, try, enjoy! I did!
