Kennedy Fried Chicken

Terrible service, workers rude! Cheating with every penny, I will never eat here again! Don’t eat here so they go out of business! Asked for 4 pcs chicken (breast, thighs and leg) was told it would be $ 7.50! Noticed they sold 6 pcs for $ 7.35 and this included breast, thighs, leg and wings, when I got home they gave me no legs and 3 small wings!
I wanted the 1 pint coleslaw for my husband who was sick all weekend and wanted only that, they sell 1 pint but they had none, when I asked for two ½ = 1pint and they refused to sell me the 2 for the 1 pint price of $ 2.50. Instead sold me one for $ 1.75! His excuse — not my problem — it will be his problem when they go out of business. I’ve never been treated so rude and terrible at a Halal joint! Shame on you all!

Okay I have no problem with Kennedy opening up near me… until crime and murders happen. But so far, so good. We ordered the fried chicken the other day and it was bit salty but it’s a new restaurant so I am willing to give them a chance. I like the variety: Fried chicken, burgers, gyros, kebobs, chicken things, etc. We got the 12 piece box special that came with 3 mashed potatoes or fries and 3 sodas. We thought it was a good deal for $ 16.99. Willing to go back, let them know it’s salty and try again. The kebobs look delicious.

This place is gold for late night cravings
With them being open so late. The menu for the Kennedy fried chicken is a little overwhelming as I’ve noticed in their other chain locations. There is no organization to the order of items in the menu, but it gets the job done.
The customer service isn’t the best here. Sometimes it’s a little slow and they pack my order to go despite saying its to stay. But the food is fresh and everything tastes good deep fried.

How I’ve been patiently waiting for Kennedy Fried Chicken to be reviewed on Unilocal.
WHY YES! I would love an attitude with poor customer service with my 20 piece hot wings and french fries when I ask for some extra hot sauce. When you ask for more hot sauce these guys that work here like to grab a handful behind the counter and potentially give you 2 – 3 while they throw the rest back with the quickness like they’re magicians.
Prepare to suck it up if you must eat at 2 a.m.
To be fair the chicken and mashed potatoes are decent and the hot wings are even good.
But before you leave! The «taxes» these people will charge range anywhere from 8.875% up to 12%, depending if you called him a bro while ordering.

Name of establishment: Kennedy Fried Chicken (not KFC)
@ 2:43 am… it’s a freaking beacon in the night.
popped in here after a movie, and had a slice of pepperoni with a double-​cheese burger. Then upgraded the burger to a platter: O)
Conditions:
–It was my cheat day, technically.
–I am a night owl.
–Being bad, taste so good.
–This food will literally kill you if you are unhealthy.

They so rude. Crazy people work that place and very expansive food. I went to that store only because of It says HALAL Food

I came in about 8pm. There are about 4 customers. So why is it so dirty? Half the tables are dirty and you can tell its been sitting there. There were 2 cashiers when I approached. One of them you can tell does not like people. She saw me approach and turned around walked off and pretended to look for something. The whole time she looked lost and only went back to register after the other cashier called me over.
The food was pretty good which surprised me with the experience I was having.
One of the reasons I’m even giving this 3 stars is because the second cashier was nice and remembered my custom preferences to my order. She really should find another place she is too good for this one. Wish I could remember her name. The rest of crew just look like they want to avoid customers as much as possible.
I’ve worked in a retail environment for a long time and I have a good standard on how things should be. I don’t know how this place stays open. You don’t feel welcome except for that one nice associate. In the end I’m sure there are worse places but if you can go somewhere else than do.
However please know this is my first visit and I can only base on that. Will I give it another shot? I guess if I’m in the neighborhood I may give it another shot to see if I’m right it if I’ll have a good experience like some claim they have.

Truthfully — Kennedy Fried Chicken is a pretty low key fried chicken place that has been in this location for at least 20 years. Why do i know it’s at least 20 years? B/​c i remember it being there from when i was in High School and that was in the year 1995.
Anyway Ok it’s time to review this place. Fried Chicken — delicious! Why? B/​c it’s ghetto and they know how to fry chicken. Also you can get a ton of other stuff like burgers, falaffel and halal. So it’s very diverse, so to speak. But everything that is fried here is awesome.
The mashed potatoes are instant so don’t think they’ll be that good, but the gravy is somewhat spicy and that’s nice. Definitely get some fried chicken here.

The service was so poor that I will never go to this place. They threw the wings at me because I didnt order enough? Screw you, I am never going back

Customer Service: Hit or miss, very small percentage of employees are really polite — the rest tend to have attitudes and horrible customer service.
Environment: Not the cleanest place in the world.
Food: It’s KFC, pretty much the same all around. However, I do have to say make sure you know what you’re supposed to get because sometimes they like to not include certain items that come with your meal.

This place is garbage, son.
First off, if you wanna get sick, come here. If you want haram food, come here. How you gonna say your food is halal, and right next to the chicken you got pepperoni pizza lying around… You must be the stupidest mahfocker on the planet to believe this place is halal.
Yo, real talk though, I give this place one star because when I’m twisted drunk out my mind, there’s nothing better than over-​fried chicken with hot sauce and tainted fries. That shiz will wake you up no matter how piss-​drunk you are.
Other than that, if your sober, and you’re muslim like me, just hit up BK or McDonalds. Their food is regulated by the FDA and they get regular inspections, so you are less likely to get sick.

So… we were stuck in Flushing, NY, and stayed at the Sheraton since it was close to the airport. We ventured out to find food, and stumbled across this place.
The beauty of the north is that the calories are listed on all of the menus, and this can be a real reality check. Kennedy’s food all had a high calorie count so it was hard to choose just one extremely bad choice.
We got chicken wings, salad and corn. The portions were very large, and the food was good. Would I go back? Probably, but it’s not something that I would crave.
The staff was very helpful and professional. They answered any questions that we had, and there were plenty of them !

Why did i get chicken over rice here? Because I was buzzed and it was 430AM. I was craving halal but this was definitely the worst chicken over rice Ive had in my whole entire life. It was so salty and spicy and made my tongue red and sore. Highly upset to taste such bad dry halal.
The only time you should come here is when you are done drinking and you need crappy food to sober you up. Also they close at 5AM.

I live close by this place and will never eat there! Two times got sick after eating the pizza and never got that drunk to try the chicken.

We came here once for a late night dinner. The fried chicken here is pretty good & cheap. The fries were bland, not salty enough. The place is small. Open late. Friendly staff…

Tasty food, just no space. But hey that’s fast food for you. The food is halal, no pork served… of course. We just wanted a meal and we just got one! Lol. My lil one keeps eating my lamb salad (lettuce, tomatoes, onions and green peppers) so I know its good, pep pizza is sooooo lonely… :)

The review from John N makes no sense… he said the chicken had no flavor and that he usually pours a whole jar of salt on his food… HELLO!!! Most people don’t do that!!!
I think the chicken here is good and seasoned well enough especially for the price… and the pizza is nothing special but still taste ok… the burgers are great though and my son LOVES their fries…

Not the best burger ever but it is a good alternative for the late night food run. I used to bum around at Internet cafes all day and night playing Diablo 2 and Kennedy Fried Chicken was a great place to get a burger and fries for a cheap price. It is one of the only places opened late too! The burger patty taste like halal meat with some mild spices to it. They offer the typical toppings and condiments if you want. Nothing fancy. Some of the guys working there will joke around with you so don’t get angry. They are just messing with you!
I haven’t tried the chicken yet. Will update when I do. However, I love me some Popeye’s!!!

If you have no other options, come here for a cheap chicken meal. Overall quality is okay, nothing astounding but the price is really cheap.
If you’re really hungry in Flushing and its late but you don’t have much money come here. There are no halal carts that I know of in Flushing, so this is the next best choice.

I was waiting for my friend on her interview so I had some time to kill and I saw this in the corner of the intersection so I wanted to see how tasty their fried chicken is. Anyway it look decent enough from the outside so i order myself a 3 wings and fries and it only cost like $ 3.99. The chicken wings were dry and old and it barely have any taste on it, SUPER BLAND. I add tons and tons of salt, hot sauce, ketup, chili flakes, garlic, and pepper to add more robust intense flavor but nothing the dam chicken. If anyone who know me, know I love salt and I use almost the whole container but NOTHING happen. The fries was the same way, BLAND
Overall this place suck and i rather eat at KFC or any chain store.

This is hands down some of the best fried chicken you will ever eat. Ever.
The chicken is fried extremely well, with a crisp, thin coating, and moist, succulent meat. Unlike many fried chicken places, the chicken served here is does not leave a greasy feel in your mouth (although obviously your hands will still get oily). The fries are also top notch. The biscuit is pretty good, but not outstanding.
I haven’t tried anything other than the 3pc fried chicken meal, but it’s simply amazing.
