Paul Smythe”™s Twisted Fried Chicken and Waffles is returning to Middletown nearly three years after it closed its original restaurant.
The Galleria at Crystal Run is the new home for Paul Smythe”™s, which opened earlier this week on the mall”™s lower level. The restaurant specializes in Southern-style cuisine, mixing the comfort food favorite of fried chicken and waffles with other offerings including fried spared ribs, fried shrimp and chopped BBQ.
Paul Smythe”™s previously had a location at 125 Dolson Ave. in Middletown that closed in late 2018, as well as a second restaurant in New Windsor that closed in 2019. At the time of the New Windsor closing, the restauranteur posted a Facebook message vowing that he was “rebuilding the Twisted Nation one Chicken and Waffles at a time ”¦ Not taking any shortcuts or sacrificing my integrity to get open. I’ve learned a lot about myself, this business and the company I kept. I will do better and be stronger than I was.”
