Cafe Crispy — Restaurant in Birmingham

Final Update: what was once good place to grab a good cheap bite to eat has become a place to find food that is so over cooked(in batches/ left to sit in a hotel pan until ordered) that it resembles more of fried chicken jerky.. The fries were hard and over cooked as well. sadly the only part that i could eat was the donuts. I will not be back, and for those that may have read my first review, i am sorry. I did a second review and gave it two stars, however this time i have to throw in the towel and never return. I will have to put this on my list of places that will soon be closed. sorry if my first review misled you. UPDATED(second review **)- the standards have slipped and food has suffered. I repeated the above order and may not be back. My chicken was very greasy and had a hint of fish taste to it. Prices are the same however food is not. First Review (*)Finally, something different while downtown Birmingham. Stop by this place today for lunch. No line (this will change once the word gets out). I Ordered a 2-piece fried chicken -comes with fries and two donuts and a can drink or water. ($5.49) I got mine spicy. I have to tell you this place is doing great work in the kitchen. The staff is amazing and friendly. Hopefully, when this place increases in popularity the price will not skyrocket like I have seen all too much downtown. I will definitely be back, and it maybe become a...

I would give zero stars if I could on service and atmosphere. I walked in to go to the restroom before getting my food and the creepy man at the front screamed at me “where are you going? What are you doing here?” I don’t appreciate being treated like that and the bathroom is supposedly broken. Don’t know if I believe that. I felt unsafe there because of the short, little Asian man at the front. Seemed like he wanted to shoot and murder someone. Food is not worth being treated like that. Food is ok. About the same as Publix’s fried chicken, so not bad. I’m just being honest. Chicken tenders are a bit small and he didn’t even give me time to ask for a sauce so I had to eat them with this Tabasco-Esque sauce he put in the bag. I will not being going back being treated like that. I do not feel safe there. Weird guy. Ok food. I’d probably go back if I hadn’t been treated like that and could actually...

Went in at 5 o'clock on a saturday and the place was empty and dead silent, not even music paying, so the atmosphere was already uncomfortable. I ordered thai tea and the workers weren't that friendly. He wasn't mean, but he just wasn't welcoming. It also took super long for the tea to be made. There was nobody else there and it was an easy order but it still took almost 10 minutes to make. I work at a boba tea shop and it takes no longer than a minute to make. When I got the tea, it wasn't even that good. The tea itself was ok. It wasn't very rich or flavorful but it wasn't disgusting. There wasn't enough ice in the cup so it was lukewarm. The boba itself was awful. It was too squishy and obviously hadn't been...
