I ordered the three-piece chicken and corn on the cob. It was so tasty. The fried chicken was crunchy and full of flavor. It was an indulgent treat for me. And the server was helpful and polite. Oh — I also ordered the mozzarella sticks. I'd go back here on my next visit to Poughkeepsie.

Title: Finger-Lickin' Good Fried Chicken Rating: (4/5) Review: I recently had the pleasure of trying Crown Fried Chicken in Poughkeepsie, NY, and I must say, it satisfied my fried chicken craving perfectly. The highlight of my visit was their fried chicken. The chicken pieces were crispy on the outside, with a juicy and tender inside. The seasoning was flavorful without being overwhelming. It was evident that the chicken was cooked to perfection and made with care. The menu at Crown Fried Chicken also offers a variety of comfort food options like burgers, sandwiches, and sides. I tried their fries and was pleased with their crispiness and seasoning. The service was friendly and efficient, ensuring that my order was taken promptly, and my food was served hot and fresh. The pricing was reasonable, making it an affordable option for a quick and satisfying meal. The only reason I didn't give it a full five stars is that the seating area was a bit small and could get crowded during peak times. However, the quality of the food more than made up for it. Overall, if you're craving delicious fried chicken and comfort food in Poughkeepsie, Crown Fried Chicken is definitely worth a visit. It's a no-frills spot with mouthwatering chicken that won't disappoint.

You don’t come for the atmosphere, although it is usually very chill here. They usually get folk’s orders right, and I think the same folk should tip a bit more often. Anyway, good food and good service IMHO.

Absolute fire. Late night on New Year’s Eve. Insane value all things considered. Chicken was moist. Philly was full of meat. Die hard Casablanca fan but I will Most likely come here instead for the late night snag. Discredited this place at first because of the location but I’m thoroughly impressed and I am a chef. Chicken beats Kennedy all day. Come here. Trust me. Culinary institute approved spot on my mother.

I am only giving atmosphere a 3 because I have never been there, I used door dash. I have no idea what drew me to this place, I thought it was a KFC knock off just looking at the name. Obviously not. I took a bite and nearly passed out. That was delicious. Everything was cooked incredibly well. No singular ingredient in the dish is trying to "do too much" or carry the flavor, it all just works so well together. I am from upstate, down here on business, I ordered here two nights in a row and am getting some chicken and rice on my way home tomorrow. No regrats.
