damnlines hasn't pointed a lens at Charles' Pan-Fried Chicken yet. The most-wanted lines get a camera first.
A line of customers waited inside the new 145th Street location on its opening weekend after a 1 p.m. Saturday debut, per The Curious Uptowner's coverage of the March 26 reopening. The Infatuation's review of the same location notes that food can 'take a little while if it's busy,' pointing customers to a picnic table to wait it out.
The 750-square-foot space, the largest in the restaurant's three-decade history, was built with more room than prior locations, per The Curious Uptowner, but demand from Charles Gabriel's cult following still produced a line at launch.
