What People Are Saying About Crispy Fried Chicken

In Short – As if indulging in deep-fried, dark meat chicken thighs wasn't naughty enough, City Height's Crispy Fried Chicken serves them up in those so-faux pas Styrofoam containers. A trip to this legendary fried chicken joint proves that sometimes, just sometimes, it's good to be bad. They do offer white meat and drumstick dinners, too, with a choice of sides like coleslaw and corn, as well as a few fried fish entrees.

SImply great fried chicken!
by Lonathon
My girlfriend suggested we go to "Crispy's". She didn't get the name right but, I'm glad she bought up the idea. It's located on El Cajon Blvd near Hoover High. The outside and inside remind you of a taco shop small and efficient but not the type of place you want to dine in. The menu is on a a deli board behind the counter with a list of great combos. I'm a fan of the 12 shrimp combo which comes with two sides. You must try their hush puppies. Perfect place to stop by and pick up a meal on the way home.
- Pros: Great food at a great value.
- Cons: Location and decor
The Details on Crispy Fried Chicken
When to Go:
As much as we would love to count on this joint as a late-night option, sadly, it's not. Note that it's closed up by 10pm even on weekends.
What to Order:
It's more than just chicken. Try the cripsy, popcorn-style fried shrimp or oysters. Or if you're really ambitious, the fried gizzards.
