Chicken Restaurants near Poughkeepsie

“Food? Slaps. No complaints when it comes to the chicken, crispy, juicy, and seasoned like grandma whispered secrets into the batter. Real talk, the cooks deserve a raise.

Now the atmosphere? Different story. Pull up after dark and it feels like you’re stepping into a rap video without a camera crew. Young heads posted up front like it’s their business, sizing you up like you just walked into the wrong project building. Ain’t no “how can I help you?”…more like “what you lookin’ at?”

I order online now. Not ‘cause I’m scared, but because I like my drumsticks without drama and my fries without feeling like I’m about to get lined up.

Crown Fried Chicken got heat in the kitchen, but outside? Feels like you need a pitbull and a prayer.“

“Everything was fantastic“

“quick and easy place to get hot lunch on a cold day. They do have a good selection of meals and pies“

“The food here was alright. I liked the chicken and loved the fries here. Recently, the fries taste a little different. I don't know if the way they make them has changed or what happened, but I don't really like them anymore. The chicken still tastes the same, though. The chicken always comes hot and crispy whenever I get it. I also love the chicken sandwich here. It is delicious. I would recommend eating here.“

“First time customer. Ordered for takeout, two items, lamb gyro and whiting fish.
Both were tasty, just right. Prices are fair. Service is fast. There is seating in case one wants to eat there. Basic simple.
Will go again, for sure.“

“This is actually quite a nice place. It's fairly clean. At least the counter and drink area were very clean. The floor could use a little work. I'm sure they'll work on it after they get through this little rush. The food was good as always. I especially like to dip my biscuit and the chicken into the mashed potatoes. The service was friendly, and i quickly received my meal. So yes, I recommend this location.“

“My girlfriend loves the chicken tenders here, especially with the blackened ranch. I wanted to try something different and asked the drive-thru person for recommendations. His name ended up being Marrell (I think) and he might have been the most helpful customer service person I’ve dealt with since before COVID happened. If he’s not a manager he deserves to be. If he is a manager then he deserves his own store. And if that Popeyes is his, then he deserves to be in charge of multiple-Popeyes. Because if he can teach his people skills to the rest of the staff you’re gonna be putting other restaurants out of business.“
