Food always fresh and delicious 😋 always please when I go here.
One of my favorite chicken spots to go to in Albany. They never disappoint. Everything from the food to the customer service is really above and beyond. I highly recommend visiting here.
First time trying this place after Pride festivities. The food was hot and tasted great. They have a wide range of options and the staff working were super friendly and food came out fast!
Best fresh quality chicken & pizza in Albany NY… Get there or be square 😎😎😎😎
Best fried chicken this side of town and that’s with the competitor across the street. I get the pizza combo mostly and the Philly Cheesesteaks with mashed potatoes instead of fries and it’s hits the spot every time!
I came and I had the wings! French fries! And a pie it was amazing. 10/10 I highly recommend this spot for wings and pizza. The owner is very kind and pleasant. It wasn’t a long wait at all I left happy!!!! Everyone please try the wings they were so Fresh and hot sincerely. - Nadi
Love this place. It's the best chicken place out here right now. My only complaint would be that they can do better on making sure the fries are fresh
good pizza about $2.50 for a cheese slice. pizza dough doesn’t have much flavor but can be improved nice fast service. Over all nice business and food.
Person who owns capital fried chicken is very pleasant. His customers are friendly as well. The service is excellent and food flavorful.
This is my go-to place for chicken over rice. They're hot sauce and white sauce is amazing. I will pass four Halal places just to come to this place. Serving size is good, food is amazing, Chef is phenomenal, staff is very good.
EVERY TIME I get food from you, I enjoy it. The crew in the spot is great, they make me laugh and the back and forth with locals is hilarious. Not sure why the ONLY review here is a 1-star, seems like a hater. Try the place out and see for yourself. Best chicken spot around.
Food is always great. Reminds me so much of Kennedy fried chicken in nyc. The prices are also reasonable. I also like the fact they’re also open till late.
I was amped about my first visit to a place I knew is very popular in Albany. I was disappointed. Not my idea of a classic Upstate NY fish fry. It was overcooked to boot. Maybe I'll have better luck next time.
Touch cooked food with no gloves that’s a no for me especially being Albany. Spent money and saw it happen just walked out without any food and they kept my money. Highly unsanitary.
I ordered a Philly g state combo. When I got home, I had a hamburger and french fries period. Make sure you check your food before you leave the building.
I wish I could leave a zero-star review for this chicken spot. Their attitude was unbelievably rude and disrespectful when I visited them to grab some fried chicken for the family. The food was disgusting, and the customer service was trash. My kid didn’t feel safe around the cashier's tone of voice. I'm definitely not going back again. I wish they did better with their customer service, but they choose not to. I don’t recommend anybody shop here for chicken. There are a couple of chicken spots you could check out with better service and delicious chicken.
