Signage is Up at Crown Fried Chicken; Opening Date Set

By MCS Staff

Over a year ago, we let you know that Crown Fried Chicken: Homemade Waffle & Breakfast would be coming to the 1900 block of Seminary Rd in Silver Spring, taking over the former location of Krazy Steve’s (and Armand’s Pizza before that) at 1909 Seminary Road. At the time the restaurant believed it would be opening within a month or two, but various issues have led to delays, but progress has been made as Crown Chicken signage is now up at the restaurant, according to instagram food blog Silver Spring Eats. Per its Google listing, the restaurant is scheduled to open on Saturday, April 30th.

Crown Fried Chicken opened its first Montgomery County location at 9120 Rothbury Dr. in Montgomery Village (next to Athens Grill) in March of 2021 and closed the location in February of this year. The menu features various chicken and waffle combinations, omelets, wings, cheesesteaks, and gyros. The chain is known for using Halal chicken and has locations across the east coast. The closest franchise locations are in Hyattsville, Waldorf, and Washington, DC.
