Opinions de Charles Country Pan Fried Chicken Albans
Traveled all the way from Portland, Oregon to taste this amazing food! Elijah greeted us with a smile and great service. Food was hot and ready…prepared to perfection! Highly recommend to your visit when in NY!
Yum yum yum! I love this spot! Shout out to Rica for her recs. I brought my friend from Arkansas and even she approved! Definitely a must try!
Lives up to the hype. 2nd best fried chicken I've ever had in my life. Here's the deal though, best I had was Sylvia's, but it was a single piece of chicken and waffle and cost thirty bucks. This place has the 3 piece for 20 after tax, which seemed steep until I saw the sides and cornbread portions. I'm used to sides like "KFC" sized. These "sides" were the equivalent to the family sized at KFC no joke. When you see other reviews saying two people could share a plate, that is not an exaggeration. Great chicken, large portions, worth every penny.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I recently visited Charles Pan Fried Chicken and had an outstanding experience, all thanks to Jerome! From the moment I walked in, he greeted me with a warm smile and was incredibly attentive throughout my visit. His expertise in taking my order ensured I got exactly what I wanted, and he made sure I was completely satisfied with my meal. The food itself was amazing—definitely some of the best soul food I’ve had in NYC! The flavors were on point, and you can tell they take pride in their dishes. Thank you, Jerome, for your exceptional customer service! And a big shoutout to Charles for the delicious food. I’ll definitely be back for more! Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for great soul food in the city! 🍗❤️
Oh my goodness!!! Delicious food! Here’s the order of my favorites. 1. Ribs (amazing, finger licking, falling off the bone ribs). 2. Fried chicken - sooooo good and home made taste. 3. Collard greens - best I’ve ever had 4. Sweet potatoes - delicious 5. Mac n cheese - very good 6. Green beans - green beans :) 7. Corn bread - good, but better if warmed up with butter. Tried the banana pudding and the no bake cheese cake. Both were good, but definitely the no bake cheese cake wins. So worth it! Can’t wait to go back.
Florida Boy checking in. I been living in NY almost 3 years. And I was craving some southern fried chicken so bad. Not that Popeyes garbage. I’m talking REAL SOUTHERN FRIED. I asked a New Yorker where can I get some authentic soul food. Everyone I asked said Charles Pan Fried Chicken. I came the first time 2 years ago and I can’t leave Harlem without coming to get my 3 piece. The food is BEYOND AMAZING and the staff feel like distant family especially my cousin Naomi. I love yall! Had to stop and get my 3 piece
Very good food. Saw them on IG from Florida and made sure we try it when we Visit New York. Cornbeard was the only short fall. Cuz it was dry.
AMAZING STAFF and the food was amazing!! You could smell the chicken a block away before they even opened, and it tasted just as good as it smelled! The chicken was pan-fried, so it was juicy, crispy, and flavorful without being greasy. The sugar cane on top was such a unique and delicious touch. The drinks were refreshing — the limeade was my favorite, though a little sweet (I’d mix it with water next time). The desserts were sweet but still light, and the sides were all vegan — a healthier take on traditional comfort sides without losing flavor. The turkey wings were fall-off-the-bone tender, and the jerk BBQ had the perfect balance of sweet with a little kick. I also loved the blackfish tacos, especially the sauce with that hint of sweetness. On top of the amazing food, the staff was so kind and welcoming, even sharing a bit of history with me. Overall, such a wonderful experience — incredible food and even better people.
I’ve been going to Charles for years, from when he was at the restaurant located by 155th street. Food was better than too…and cheaper. The food is still good, I was skeptical when he expanded because I know how often the quality goes down. I’d say, it’s still pretty good. I always get the smothered fried chicken (extra gravy) with collard greens and macaroni & cheese. I used to get the yams but they’d been lacking in real authentic flavor so I skip them. Cornbread 5/5. Tasty, right amount of sweetness, slightly fluffy. Collard greens 4.5/5. Pretty good, add some meat and I’d rate it a five. Seasoned well, cooked slowly and they’re not canned. Smothered fried chicken 5/5. My fave dish. This man can do the hell out of some gravy. Chicken is always cooked well and seasoned to perfection. Oh and I always ask for and they give me extra gravy. Macaroni and cheese 4.5/5. It’s been getting better since the expansion. Sometimes, it’d be good and other times it’s just okay. Right amount of cheese in it. Fruit Punch 3/5. Typical koolaid. Not crazy about it but I always drink it. I wish they’d offer a half and half or Arnold Palmer. I’ll try the sweet tea one day too. Overall, I could write more, but an easy 5/5 for ME. I appreciate that he’s a southern black American man running this restaurant, lots of other soul food joints are ran by others. I have an old review from his old spot on Yelp, but this is pretty good. Keep up the excellent work sir!
This is hands down the best fried chicken I've ever had! Make sure you go early so that they don't run out of sides. The service could be better but I know the place stays packed and the workers are always very busy. I definitely wish they had more seating and a public restroom for paying customers would be nice but it is definitely worth the trip!
Food ! Delish ! Janelle & Trey were amazing in customer service! Legit the best! For my first time I had a great experience with my family. We will be back ! Ok had to add to my review. The customer service is phenomenal. Highly recommend. Felt like I was home.
Great spot Right on the Corner the way it should be In HaRLem Much Love ❤️ To The Crew Working And Service Amazing Fried chicken 🍗 🐔 😋 Collard Greens Candy 🍬 yams 🍠 😋 Dessert cheesecake Peach cobbler Mac & Chesse top of the list in Manhattan... Fish Fry is Perfect....thank you For the Service Welcome to CHarles Pan Fried! Please 🙏🏽 don't Forget the Traditional Kool aid just like In Your Mommas House🥤 The Ribs And Cornbread 🫡🤭
I rarely give 5 stars but this place gets 5 stars! The food is amazing! The flavors are so subtle but rich! The yams have an amazing rich taste but so subtle. The black eyed peas are so delicious but such a subtle seasoning. My only complaint is that this place is pretty much take out only. No good seating here.
Very friendly service and impeccable food. The chicken was sooo juicy and seasoned well. Would definitely recommend picking up some Mac and cheese too!!
Now, this is about and southern as you can find. Large black iron skillets with golden fried chicken! Sweet cornbread. This is a good find. I plan to come back when I come to NY. Oh, and thr friendly faces. Great business.
Charles fried chicken!!! This place rocks. Top 10 chicken in NYC easy on anyone list But to be completely honest I just ordered in and I really wouldn’t recommend it if you’re 20 blocks away it definitely didn’t hit the same. I have had this many times and it’s definitely one of the best fried chickens in the city. I’m not sure if it was cuz it’s close to closing time or just the delivery I’ll have to try and order it again soon to see definitely going to do it earlier to see if it’s better. Got the white rice (I definitely would pass on this) should have done the greens The pees was ok The Mac and cheese always hit The corn bread was a bit dry but again I’m guessing it’s because of the time. It’s late so maybe it sat for a bit normally it’s top tear. I can’t blame them for the delivery especially since I’ve had it in person so many times and it was always consistent I definitely recommend this place definitely visit it’s many locations and you won’t be disappointed Ordering or delivery I can’t promise anything on that but if you go u will enjoy it.

The fried chicken is excellent. Workers are awesome. Collard greens, rice and black eyed peas great. Ice tea and lemon 🍋 made was flawless However, 🍌 pudding was horrible. It tasted like.... It was just nasty. Mac and cheese needs better so. Thing or another.... I will be back but just won't get those items again.
I've only gotten delivery. The food is the closest I've had to southern cuisine in Harlem in a vert very long time. The fried chicken is seasoned to perfection. The blackeyed peas are so flavorful. Every item I've ordered has been more than satisfactory. However, I don't understand what type of weird campaign both locations are on. Every time I request napkins and utensils, I get ignored. Ive clicked the option for this in uber eats and did not recieve (125th st location). Ive clicked the option again for my next order and asked additionally in the notes of each item (145th st location) and did not recieve. Why are both locations like this?😩
The fried chicken and turkey are terrific! So are sides like collards and beans. I also tried the catfish tacos, which are big pieces of fried catfish inside tortillas with sweet sauce and coleslaw. These were just too sweet and rich for me. The drinks are also all too sweet for me, so I get water. The people are nice but service is functional and kind of brusk. Not really a problem if you come expecting it. Great chicken.
I love grabbing Charles Pan Fried chicken once in a blue! However this now the 3rd time in my past visits when they forgot to give me my cornbread, even after reminding the employees twice. It’s frustrating going all the way home and then realizing it’s not in the bag. Management needs to make sure employees are reminded of what orders come with what. Hopefully my next visit will be a bit different.
Heard about this place for years and finally got a chance to try it. It was worth the long wait, I will not wait as long to return. This fried chicken might not be what you're used to, but the flavor is incredible. Real dark meat that it crisp and not overly crunchy. That's why people love it! Cornbread is equally old school, not some fluffy stuff. Collards were excellent- meaty tasting and so tender, even the stems were soft to the tooth. The staff is friendly, professional and also entertaining. Will return soon!
The food was nice. Everything looks clean. However, the chicken looked dry when I first opened the box. The skin was crispy and fragrant. The meat inside was also somewhat dry. At least for the one piece of thigh and the breast piece I got, they were dry from the inside out. The other piece of thigh was perfect, the meat was tender and juicy inside. The corn bread was very nice and nice. Not too crumbly and not too sweet. The two sides I got were also very good. I got a potato salad and a baked Mac and cheese. Both were very flavorful and not too salty. Overall, the sides were much better than their famous pan fried chicken. Maybe I’ll come back and try again when I’m in the neighborhood, but honestly I was a little disappointed.

Best fried chicken in town, it s not a fast food franchise even tho its look like but the approach it’s really different. staff is really kind
Ordered 3 piece chicken with 2 sides quickly. 15 minutes to wait for okra side which came out ice cold somehow. Black eye peas were mostly liquid. Opened 3 “piece” when I got home and I couldn’t id…
The food was, decent to good. I will say that the chicken was definitely the star. Taste like it was fried in someone's home kitchen instead of a restaurant. Major points for that.... But that is where it stops for me on this night, at this location. I don't know what the other locations are like, but 145th was chaotic and unorganized. Young lady doing "takeout" orders was on the phone, while people were waiting for their orders to be made ready. They ran out of yams. They ran out of potato salad. They ran out of catfish. The online order system allowed me to choose all of these things, but nobody called to inform us that those items weren't available. The black eye peas were a bit plain. The greens were decent. The mac and cheese was just ok. They also forgot our cornbread. And utensils. And napkins. Chicken was good, but the service and attention to detail needs to be addressed.
paid for a three piece, they only gave me two. didn’t notice until i got home. it tastes good, but make sure they actually give you your whole order.
Might have been an off day? Tried the classic 2 piece fried chicken, with green beans as a side, and corn bread, to go. Also had the limeade. The fried chicken skin texture was great, crispy. The meat though was quite dry, not tender or moist. Limeade tasted ok.
First time going here. Portions are small compared to the price charged.\n2 pcs chicken was edible. Didn't taste terrible but I have had better.\nPieces of Pulled pork was dry.\nCorn bread was ok. …
The crunch of the chicken was good, but extremely salty. Too sad to enjoy,. I also had the cornbread which was not great but average. It was good but dry.

This was my 1st time at this location and only my 2nd time getting food from Charles. I ordered the 2pc meal w/ mac&chs & cornbread & I was highly disappointed. I got dark meat and the leg & thigh were tiny & soggy. The portion of mac&chs was very small. This location was nothing like what I experienced my 1st time from the 125th street location in Dec 2024. If I go there again, it will only be the 125th St spot.
I don’t appreciate how they gave me this dry ass Mac k cheese. My first time and my last. Not worth any travel. I can make better tasting fried chicken. 145th
Only thing worth having was the fried and the smothered chicken. All of the sides were NOT tasty. Check photos for ratings! \n\nService was awful - the cook was nice and he took my order. The cas…

After waiting an hour for my food, the restaurant called to inform me that one of the two desserts I had ordered was unavailable. I chose another option and continued to wait for the delivery. …
The chicken is good. The sides are meh- the green beans were remarkably overcooked. The service is unacceptable. I would expect people who walked through the door to be served in order of arrival…
