Not the best burger ever but it is a good alternative for the late night food run. I used to bum around at Internet cafes all day and night playing Diablo 2 and Kennedy Fried Chicken was a great place to get a burger and fries for a cheap price. It is one of the only places opened late too! The burger patty taste like halal meat with some mild spices to it. They offer the typical toppings and condiments if you want. Nothing fancy. Some of the guys working there will joke around with you so don't get angry. They are just messing with you! I haven't tried the chicken yet. Will update when I do. However, I love me some Popeye's!!! read more

This place is gold for late night cravings With them being open so late. The menu for the Kennedy fried chicken is a little overwhelming as I've noticed in their other chain locations. There is no organization to the order of items in the menu, but it gets the job done. The customer service isn't the best here. Sometimes it's a little slow and they pack my order to go despite saying its to stay. But the food is fresh and everything tastes good deep fried. read more

I was waiting for my friend on her interview so I had some time to kill and I saw this in the corner of the intersection so I wanted to see how tasty their fried chicken is. Anyway it look decent enough from the outside so i order myself a 3 wings and fries and it only cost like $3.99. The chicken wings were dry and old and it barely have any taste on it, SUPER BLAND. I add tons and tons of salt, hot sauce, ketup, chili flakes, garlic, and pepper to add more robust intense flavor but nothing the dam chicken. If anyone who know me, know I love salt and I use almost the whole container but NOTHING happen. The fries was the same way, BLAND Overall this place suck and i rather eat at KFC or any chain store. read more

We came here once for a late night dinner. The fried chicken here is pretty good & cheap. The fries were bland, not salty enough. The place is small. Open late. Friendly staff... read more

Kennedy Fried Chicken - Burgers Near Me - Flushing, New York

See all

I've never written a review before in my life...but this blasphemous tasting food deserves a review. I ordered chicken and fries and let me tell you...that was not chicken. That chicken needs to be tested. My two friends got chopped cheeses and that was not beef either. That had to be the worst tasting food I've ever had in my life. Never go here for real. read more

Truthfully - Kennedy Fried Chicken is a pretty low key fried chicken place that has been in this location for at least 20 years. Why do i know it's at least 20 years? B/c i remember it being there from when i was in High School and that was in the year 1995. Anyway Ok it's time to review this place. Fried Chicken - delicious! Why? B/c it's ghetto and they know how to fry chicken. Also you can get a ton of other stuff like burgers, falaffel and halal. So it's very diverse, so to speak. But everything that is fried here is awesome. The mashed potatoes are instant so don't think they'll be that good, but the gravy is somewhat spicy and that's nice. Definitely get some fried chicken here. read more

Tasty food, just no space. But hey that's fast food for you. The food is halal, no pork served...of course. We just wanted a meal and we just got one! Lol. My lil one keeps eating my lamb salad (lettuce, tomatoes,onions and green peppers) so I know its good, pep pizza is sooooo lonely... :) read more

Kennedy Fried Chicken - Burgers Near Me - Flushing, New York

How I've been patiently waiting for Kennedy Fried Chicken to be reviewed on Yelp. WHY YES!! I would love an attitude with poor customer service with my 20 piece hot wings and french fries when I ask for some extra hot sauce. When you ask for more hot sauce these guys that work here like to grab a handful behind the counter and potentially give you 2-3 while they throw the rest back with the quickness like they're magicians. Prepare to suck it up if you must eat at 2 a.m. To be fair the chicken and mashed potatoes are decent and the hot wings are even good. But before you leave! The "taxes" these people will charge range anywhere from 8.875% up to 12%, depending if you called him a bro while ordering. read more

Do not eat there!!! They handling your food, money and trash with the same hands. No gloves at all. I saw when a man leak his finger to count a change, than just start serving the food with out washing his hands!!! I'll will call 311!! read more

The young staff's attitude is very bad. The service is gruff and rude. The worst restaurant ever read more

Customer Service: Hit or miss, very small percentage of employees are really polite - the rest tend to have attitudes and horrible customer service. Environment: Not the cleanest place in the world. Food: It's KFC, pretty much the same all around. However, I do have to say make sure you know what you're supposed to get because sometimes they like to not include certain items that come with your meal. read more

I love their hamburgers and fries. Fried chicken is pretty good too. If you're looking for healthy food, go somewhere else.

Won't be eating from here anymore! Saw one man handle food with the same hand he took money with, then the other male had one glove on, took the lettuce out of the package cut it up and placed it in the serving container without washing it. Who knows what else is not washed before serving! Lost my appetite and will never go back to that location! read more

My friends saw Bryan from Cafe Wha playing his guitar outside of this Kennedy's. Ha. They have the most unhealthiest foods you can think of... but their chicken + fries, I loves it. Late nights you'll encounter drunks and drug dealers.. sometimes they exchange phone numbers. read more

The new Kennedy has the best chicken I've ever had! The chicken was fresh and their fries were crispy and straight out the fryer. The new theme is much also modern and very clean. The Management working was very friendly too and asked me how he food was which is really great to know that they care about the customer! I will be a weekly customer for sure!!! Keep it up guys read more

This place has been around for decades, since the 80s if my memory serves me right, it recently went through remodeling and reopened. I almost thought this place bit the dust like so many things in a rapidly gentrifying city but alas this place is still there. Its cheap food for when you do not want spend too much cash, its not the best food but it will fill you up fast. Glad to see it has not disappeared like so many other businesses in this city. I think this place and Lucia pizza are the only businesses around Main St Flushing that have survived over 30 years. read more

Greasy food, what more do you want? I see comments about how "rude" the workers are, but I never had a problem with them (I grew up in a non-English speaking family myself and maybe minimized the non-English speaking exchanges amongst themselves in public?). The guy was even smiling and said "Thank you, good night." when I was walking out, so YMMV? You're there for the food, not the gossips. read more

charged me 8$ for two chicken sandwich... the menu said 3.75 per sandwich. even if they add tax , which they don't.... they still shorted me a couple of cents.. if you are going to charge more just change the menu price.. why be shady and short change people? read more

I love that this place is open 22/7. If I'm going home really late at night, and I find out I just missed the bus, and have to wait 45 minutes for the next one, it's nice to know that Pho32&Shabu and some below average halal carts aren't my only fooding out options here. The chicken is pretty good, way better than the other KFC, and the biscuits and fries not bad. But this will stay a late-night-only place for me, especially now that there's a Popeye's nearby. read more

I live close by this place and will never eat there! Two times got sick after eating the pizza and never got that drunk to try the chicken.

Not as greasy as it used to be (which to me is a bad thing), but the fried chicken and the fries are the best in Flushing (possibly all of Queens), and it's still a very reasonable price. The biscuits are still awful margarine-smelling biscuits, but that's not why I go here anyway. read more

Cheap food for a cheap price. Food tastes good, but then again I love fried chicken period. Although its decent food I can tell the place is dirty and food is probably not clean and not healthy at all. Staff is also very unfriendly in that small sad place, the guy wouldn't give me more than two pieces of napkin lol.. cheappppassss read more

Been to a lot of chicken joint. But this is the only place that charge you extra for dark meat. And no receipt. Dry chicken, been sitting too long on the warmer. read more

There food is nice and cheap. If you wanna catch them making hot and fresh food, the best time is 12 pm, 5 pm, and 7 pm

I would rate "no star" if I can, but this is the lowest I can grade. Today I caught this guy trying to over charge me and my friend for no reason. They probably thought we were tourists or something, but the important thing is that it is not my first time getting overcharged here. Last time I went there, they tried to overcharge too. Now me and my friend feels sick of the chicken.. I think it had problems with it.. and this makes me to write such a bad experience comment like this.. I tell you THIS WAS THE WORST PLACE read more

Let me just start by just saying this: This chicken sure don't taste like $2.99! Sure some of the locations are in iffy areas and yes you probably cannot eat in there (or want to) BUT take it from this street savy NYer: The chicken is good. The prices are great. It is better than Popeyes, And a hell of a lot better than KFC (Kan't Fry Chicken) Maybe it's the Halal or maybe it's the ethnic and cultural background of the workers that influence the cooking skills but one thing is crispy clear: the chicken is well prepared and COOKED which believe it or not seems to evade many of these big chain restaurants cooking manuals. At Kennedy cheap doesn't mean cheaply done and Kennedy offers some of the least greasy chicken out there, with the exception of some Korean fried chicken joints, which is saying alot. If you like crispier skin chicken with a touch of zip that tastes clean and well cared for, the Kennedy folks are your place to go. If you like flabby, greasy undercooked chicken for more money, there are plenty of other choices. read more

The service was so poor that I will never go to this place. They threw the wings at me because I didnt order enough? Screw you, I am never going back read more

the prices are very different from the ones they have in the website, the amount of food is not the same as it shows on the menu, this restaurant needs to update all the info,and stop faking with false advertising just to get customers. very disappointing because their food is fresh and state really good. read more

This place is ok but I also still like Popeye's more, and I 'll tell you why: I think I had an unfortunate experience here which starts with me not understanding what language the guys behind the counter are talking. OK, they're not talking to me, but still not nice to ignore the customer while gabbing away in a private conversation. My first time here, I wanted a variety so no combo for me, I order the chicken breast, one slice of Pizza and a corn on the cob. So the guy asks me if I want a soda, and I ask if there's refills and he says NO so I say no thanks to the soda. I think most Mac s and BKs are offering refills so it's not unreasonable request. I give the guy a $20 ( because I only had 20's from the ATM and he gives me change for a 10. I have to protest, but he knows he did it so he gives me the rest of my change. I ask for water instead of the soda and he refuses, says I have to buy bottled water. OK, so I know they make an extra profit on drinks, but this is too transparent a rip off and I think it disrespects the customer. Ok, they get some stars because the Pizza was good, but not spiced like italian pizza, the chicken was good, not too dry but small, and the corn was not very fresh(had dimples on the kernels already) but was sweet. read more

Great find! Fresh and delicious food, fast service, very reasonable prices. Don't expect health dishes galore, but reasonable expectations would be met and exceeded. read more

Went to this place about four days ago. First thing that strikes me is how small this place is and maybe for that you gotta give credit to the owner how he can make pizza fried chicken and burgers among many other things in such a small area. And while the fried chicken I really liked that's where most of the credit and liking for me really ends. The place looks extremely dirty. Why doesn't the owner actually paint the place and clean it I've never seen anything so small and so dirty. I also noticed that it doesn't attract the cleanest of clientele either which I can't understand considering you charged me eight flipping dollars for a burger that had the thinnest of meat patties I've ever seen, fries which tasted okay, and a can of coke. That really set me off how are you gonna charge me that much for that. Was definitely not worth eight dollars. Only ate here because it was halal. But the fried chicken was great tasted really fresh. One of the staff members was nice but the others seemed rude. I might come back here maybe not who knows. Very good fried chicken breast in my opinion though wow. read more

this place is decent. for late night hunger, this is probably the place that you should go to get some cheap food
