Crown Fried Chicken 408 Forest Avenue, Portland, ME 04101

"I have noticed people complaining about mold in their food on social media. I purchased a piece of cake, and it also had mold on it. I went back and returned it. You should ensure the safety of your food before you sell it to customers. You guys need to stop microwaving your food and make it fresh so that customers get what they paid for."

"Used to love this place. Not any more. Ordered ahead, waited a half hour, and headed in. Not even started, and the place was dead. Ordered a 10 pc bucket with slaw and mashed potatoes. After another half hour, food was ready. Got home to find both the mashed potatoes AND the slaw were frozen. Literally encased in ice in the serving containers. Got six legs and four thighs. Not a single breast. The chicken was lukewarm and had clearly been sitting under a heat lamp for quite some time. It's clear that the owner of this place just doesn't care. Too bad, because while it's always been kind of dark and not particularly clean, the chicken used to be great. Not any more. It's just awful. Avoid at all costs."

"We stopped in after seeing a concert at the State Theatre due to Burger King being packed and it was the only other thing open. This place looks and feels sketchy right off the bat. The prices were good but they did not give us our drinks and forgot half our order. When we asked for the rest of our order they said that it would take a couple of minutes and it never came out. 3 out of the 5 pieces of chicken was raw and pink in the middle. I tossed away all the chicken and just ate the French fry’s. My girlfriend didn’t get what she ordered and was given chicken fingers instead that were dry. We asked for condiments and got ignored. The staff there seems very unfriendly and careless. There was a new guy cooking and the senior worker was yelling at the new guy in a foreign language. We ended up tossing our food and getting gas station food instead. We will definitely not be returning here!"

"To say this place was a disappointment would be a significant understatement. Ordered food, waited 30-45 minutes (?”fast food”), onion rings were cold, the chicken severely overcooked and chewy, and the fries that we were offered were instead not given and we got the rice as on the menu (even though they “didn’t have it”). Clientele was sketchy. Staff were impolite. And frankly, it was quite over-priced for what it was. Really, this was potentially the worst “fast food” experience I’ve ever had. The lamb was good, I’ll give them that. Everything else made it negative 5 stars."
