Crawford's Pass - Glendale

I had so much fun when I stumbled on this place! the first time I left, they had a group casual encounters there for live band kaoke! my friends saw rockstars up there (I was too shy) so funny! we probably go back next month when they are back and I can get my full of makkaroni.

Went for the fried chicken. It was very good. Marinated in buttermilk and fried very well. It was hot, juicy and flavorful. The fried pickles and jalapenos we're good too as well as the cross cut sweet potato fries. Enjoyed the experience a lot.

So the husband and I wanted to go out and we decided to go to ktown. The place he found...was closed...so I looked at yelp and found Crawford's. This place is in a small stand alone building caddy-corner from Tommy's and next to taco bell. One thing to mention is THERE IS NO ESTABLISHED PARKING for Crawford's...you either have to look for street parking...or if you go during the day, you can probably get away with parking in the overflow parking across the street. This place is a small divey bar with a super cool vibe, a pool table in the corner and serves beer and maybe wine? Anyway the food that they don't have a huge menu of food just friend chicken and sides and also you have to order everything at the bar. Coming in in the early afternoon on a Saturday, we still found the place pretty packed the few tables were already full of people. So the husband and I decided to sit at the bar...which was pretty convenient...right in front of the bartender. Anyway our bartender was super nice...if you're there to eat chicken there are 2 types the spicy or regular chicken and your choice of sides...we ordered the macaroni cheese. We then proceeded to order beer, they have a wide assortment of canned beers as well as a few on tap I believe. I ordered this really good sour...can't remember the name and the husband ordered some IPA. Our food came out relatively quickly and it was really really good. Super fresh and delicious....the mac cheese was good too. They don't have any dipping sauces but they have Louisiana hot sauces to use if you want to add some over flavors to your meal. After we finished off our original order, I ordered the potato salad. That i wasn't a huge fan of but i think other people would love it. Personal preference...just FYI it's not the typical potato salad. I would say this place is pretty good...and if i was in the area again, i'd stop by.

Fried chicken is very good. Beers are too small for the price and the mixed batch of jalapenos and pickles was all pickles. We had like 5 jalapenos out of 50 pieces.

Probably the worst restaurant I've been to in a long time. My husband I love fried chicken thought we would give Crawford a try. What a mistake , busy bar I will say! The chicken was far from crispy (that's key to good Fried chicken) no salt no taste(could not taste the brine they talked about)I would have enjoyed a can of beans more than what served us. I don't know what seasoning they use but it needs a lot of help, coleslaw way over dressed. Try Tally Rand, Patys and Gus's fried chicken. U won't be let down. This is my first review. I cannot figure out all the good. The owners should check out how to improve the food.
