Soul food restaurant · Upper West Side

"The fried chicken at this famous mini-chain is made in a cast iron skillet rather than a deep fryer, and the meat comes out tender beneath a well-seasoned crust. We also love the ribs, collards, black-eyed peas, and cornbread. When you stop by Charles Pan-Fried Chicken, an employee behind the counter might say something like, “I got that cornbread,” and the whole team will reply with “Ooh” in unison. It’ll make you smile. Grab one of the few bar stools in towards the front window, or take your food to Central Park." - bryan kim, willa moore, neha talreja, hannah albertine, will hartman
