What drew me into this place besides having a few drinks in me was that it's halal and I equate halal food with freshness, so here goes…
1. Fried Chicken – juicy, moist, crispy skin – what more can you ask for of your fried brethren
2. Biscuits – little grainy but not overly sweet; good for slathering on some honey or dunking in gravy
3. Side of veggies – boiled, overcooked and bland :/
Haven't tried anything else yet on their menu and chances are I won't if I want to stick to not particularly eating fried food but a girl can dream…
"Fried chicken just tend to make you feel better about life."
Eh, I figure with a place like this it would be a more upscale greasy burger place. Instead what I got was just a okay greasy burger place with the upscale price tag. The staff is Burger King level apathetic. I ordered and waited for my food to come out, with the amount of time it took I figured it would at least be okay.
What I got was a pretty plain cheeseburger that was pretty forgettable. A side of fries that were all right and a drink that was gone in three sips. I spent almost 10 bucks on this? I feel like I could have walked a block or two to Wendy's and had a better experience.
This place is new and hopefully with time things will improve. I've been here twice, both late night after drinking and my impression so far is that the food is OK, not great but nothing wrong with it either. The three stars are for their late hours and the friendly quick service. The french fries here are good but the chicken could use a bit more seasoning. I tried their hot wings yesterday and again it was OK. The food at this place is a lot like Kennedy Fried Chicken minus the seasoning. I also love the name of this place since is a good indicator of how you will get if you eat this non-stop.
Stopped here a couple of times for a late night meal and I noticed they're open past 11pm on some nights, depending on the flow of customers (I'm guessing)…
The spicy chicken sandwich and the cheesesteak are both good. The service is quick, but not as quick as other fast food establishments. They take a few minutes to prepare your food because, wait for it… It's real food.
And it's HALAL, if that matters to you.
This is a no frills spot. Although there are much better places Steinway to get a chicken sandwich or a burger, this place will hit the spot when you're short on time, can't look for parking and need to run in and grab a quick bite and take something to go. The wings are ok, the burgers are good and juicy, the fried chicken is moist and their Philly cheesesteak is a surprise star of the show.
Having picked up a menu ahead of time, i finally decided to grab some food and check the place out. From the menu, I knew or should I say, I hoped for food above the regular fast-food chain quality, unfortunately that wasn't the case. Grabbing food for a few people, I ordered the 5oz burger, 10oz burger chubby burger with cheese (asked for mushroom, jalapeño, fried onion additions), 2 spicy chicken sandwiches, beef cheesesteak, and side orders of corn and onion rings.
Unfortunately, both chicken sandwiches were not in the order but was charged and yes I should have checked before leaving. Surprisingly, the 5oz burger was par at best, however the chubby burger (again, minus the additional asked choices) still appeared to be more flavorful and felt worth the paid price. The cheesesteak on the other hand was decent and something I could recommend for others to try without hesitation.
Yes the venue is Halal and a good option for the strictly halal patrons, but for all others, it is just an option with other locales in the neighborhood.
Crown Friend Chicken is beta and Chubby's is 2.0. Its just a step above the ghetto fried chicken places that I go to in Brooklyn if not the same thing. The only difference they have kabab. Place basically serves frozen food just like any other fast food place except some items are halal.
Place is definitely over-hyped !
You will get a good meal don't get me wrong but its nothing out of the ordinary. I can make this stuff at home.
Food really isn't that great, you're way better off going to a fast food joint or a slice of pizza.
Staff is perverted. They stare at you and flirt with you and try to hug you. No thanks my man.
Overall- decent drunk food. don't go alone.
