Always come through for our company lunches on short notice. Staff goes over and above to provide the best possible service, everything is fresh, hot and flavourful.
We bought 2 batter boxes, one original and one honey bbq. But we got 2 boxes original flavour. And the chicken is super salty. The experience was quite unpleasant. The tater was not bad though.
I tried Mary Brown's Chicken for the first time about a year ago and enjoyed it very much. Everything I have ordered has been cooked well, served hot and tasted great. In my opinion everything on the menu is very expensive. I ordered a small coleslaw and it was not even one cup of slaw but was 5bucks. I can only justify going on Mondays when the big Mary sandwiches are half price. Not sure if it's just me, but it seems to take over ten minutes (sometimes as long as twenty) every time I go to get food, no matter the time of day or night. Other than the high prices, if you order things other that the big Mary (and only on Monday) and the sometimes 20 minute wait, fantastic fast food chicken restaurant.
Mary Brown's has wonderful fried chicken, always has. Their taters are yummy, always have been.
Today, I tried their taters poutine, and I really enjoyed it.
Normally, I would not eat at Mary Brown's, because it is so. Unbelievably. Freaking. Overpriced. Their prices are so high, I'm fairly certain that their CEO decided to do it as a gag just to see if people would show up, and when they did, he just left the prices high. More power to him. Or her. Or whatever. I have no idea who the CEO is and I'm too lazy to look it up this moment.
However, today was apparently National Fried Chicken day. I did not know that was a thing. But to celebrate it, Mary Brown's had a two-piece combo with taters $4.99, instead of the regular $13 or so.
You can see that that made going there obviously a lot more attractive.
So, on National Fried Chicken day, I give Mary Brown's five stars. The rest of the year, it only gets four.
The meal was fresh and delicious with generous portions. The counter staff is excellent and made the effort to let me know that there would be a wait of 10 minutes to fill my order - that was considerate and appreciated! The atmosphere is a little lacking, with only a couple of tables and a bench to wait for takeout, but the service and food make up for it.
4 stars for taste, but unfortunately 9 times out of 10 they don't put all items in the bag. More specifically taters that are included in combo (2 out of last 3 visits have been missing them including tonight)
Ordered a wrap combo and asked if I could make the taters a poutine he said yep. Got home checked the recipt he charged me for the combo and full price for the poutine. People check your recipts before leaving.
There were no issues. The food and service were unremarkable and average. One mistake was made when a 'normal' Big Mary was given instead of the spicey version, and not noted until home.
