"If you’re having a bad week, come to Redcrest on East Passyunk and decompress with some cheap fried chicken. You can get it a bunch of different ways, like in a sandwich for $8, or by itself in either a half ($10.50) or whole ($20) bird. They also have a wide range of sauces, from buffalo to garlic ranch, so feel free to get creative." - Sydney Mcelwee

"Redcrest on East Passyunk only has a couple of tables and a small bar against the wall, but if you’re having a bad week and just need to decompress with some fried chicken, this is the place you want to be. The fried chicken is why you’re here and you can get it a bunch of different ways, like in a sandwich, by itself, or in wing form. They also have a wide range of sides and sauces, so feel free to get creative." - Sydney McElwee

The shop is super small. They only have room for like 4 people to eat in. So if you’re a group, order out! But for a small place they pack a big punch of flavors. I had their vegan version of the redcrest burger and it was delicious. From beginning to end, fries were delicious as well. But the price is a little inflated in all seriousness. Oh and you have to pay for the honey dip for the biscuit, I’d understand if it was for an extra sauce but I don’t make the rules.

Order arrived by bike 20 minutes before promised that was the only plus. The biscuits were doughy, as if cooked in the microwave. The chicken had feathers in each of the 4 pieces. The mashed potatoes were over salted, the Cole slaw was inedible and tasteless. The chicken was soooooooaked in grease... See it glistening? And the popcorn chicken was grease soaked, halfcooked pieces of chicken thigh meat that tastes spoiled. This was my first and only order and it cost over $40 and I still have to get dinner. Inedible. The 2nd star is because they were so fast with delivery.

Very disappointed that I had to trash my lunch. Ordered the chicken sandwich for the first time since the last place and it was undercooked. Took my first bite and realized that the texture was not right. It was pink and bloody. Tried calling the restaurant but no answer. Left a voicemail too. 🤷 Used to love the chicken sandwiches back when it was at East Passyunk.

Way better than KFC. Outer texture is crispy while inside is moist and juicy. Have their own dipping sauses and sides are pretty decent. Popcorn chicken is larger than normal ones from KFC. Plus they deliver. I had the buttermilk. Now ready for the spicy. Check them out when you have a chance.

Buttermilk fried chicken was insanely juicy! The garlic mayo topped with crispy bacon set it off so well. Their fries crispy with a moist biscuit. Will definitely be back to get their seasonal sweet tea!

Absolutely delicious!! Quality food! The chicken was yummy and cooked to perfection with that crispy outside that you expect to find in fried chicken. We ordered delivery and spent around $90 because we wanted to try a little of everything. We got the Drive Thru chicken sandwich (pictured), the BBQ chicken sandwich, fries, Mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, popcorn chicken, biscuits (be sure to drizzle some honey on them omg), and a whole fried bird (also pictured). Everything was so good, we have found our new fried chicken spot for sure! We look forward to our next order. Both my husband and son, who are picky, enjoyed everything as well. So Well done Redcrest!

Great! Had the redcrest chicken sandwich and the coleslaw to top it with. Guys behind the counter were nice & everything is fresh. The “drop” the chicken in the fryer after ordering. The bun was great too.

Delicious, filling fried chicken shop on East Passyunk Ave. the sandwiches are HUGE. Can’t beat them for $9. They have extras like fries, Mac n cheese, Cole slaw, and more. Pretty quick usually takes 15 mins for an order. Highly recommend.
