"The chicken and potato wedges are good. We found the cole slaw way too creamy."

"I had such a great experience at Mary Brown’s! The service was lightning fast and the staff were warm and welcoming from the moment I walked in. My chicken came out incredibly hot, fresh out of the fryer, and while it was almost too hot to bite into right away, I can’t complain because that’s exactly what you want with freshly made food. The crispiness, the juiciness… it hit all the right notes. The real surprise of the night was the banana pudding. Creamy, sweet, and comforting, it tasted like something you’d get at a family gathering, and I would 100% recommend it to anyone visiting for the first time. If I had one small suggestion, it would be to swap out the sauce packets for bottles. Bottles are just easier to manage, especially if you’re dipping and sharing. But honestly, that’s a tiny detail in what was otherwise a fantastic meal. I’ll definitely be back for more!"

"Came in with our family on a Friday night, it was super busy. We did have to wait a little longer than usual for our food (they were seriously so busy), but the staff was so polite and kind. They definitely handled being busy very well. Food was fresh and delicious, will definitely be back again."

"Went here for a birthday dinner in December, staff was very kind and food came out in a fair time for the amount we ordered. The batter box / fan favorite is the best deal there and always tastes good. Only reason I can't add another star is because twice on my skipthedishes orders I didn't receive everything I ordered. For example: ordered a batters box and wings, but wings never arrived. The other time they forgot my drink. Overall my experience has been positive, though. Just needs some adjusting with skip."

"Been here about 4 times. Dine in is always clean and pleasant to be inside. Drive thru is great too as the staff are very pleasant to deal with and super friendly. I understand the wait time can be a weee bit more as its actually fresh made taters in-house and chicken as well. You're waiting on quality food that's made to serve quick but with quality. Not to mention this is a brand new establishment and as any brand new business, it takes time to work out the kinks and make it a really smoother, quick, and efficient operation. To me, the staff are doing an absolute amazing job. Thank you"
