Service was great, food not so much. I only received 4 tenders and the wedges were supposed to be well done and the were only warm and soft ( big disappointment). Box looked empty after paying $20.

This Mary Brown’s and it’s day staff are amazing. The chicken is fresh, flavourful and juicy. The staff is extremely friendly, welcoming and accommodating. You have to go there and be amazed by the friendly and professional service and the great food. ❤️❤️. Dee from OATC

The food is really tasty and very nice people there as well! The chicken is so juicy and crispy and greatly cooked. Go to Mary Brown’s if you’re ever hungry because it’s the best!

Wow, I'm legitimately shocked with the service I recieved at this location. I've reviewed many places but this is the first one I am genuinely disgusted with. The manager or whomever I spoke to at this location literally accused me of lying about the terrible quality of their food. The chicken was extremely dry, rubbery, and it was clear my order was mishandled. But instead of refunding me, remaking it, or seeking another solution, the manager interrogated me over the phone. Even when I mentioned receipts, called them 20 minutes after the issue occurred, etc. Instead, she blamed the customer? She really tried gaslighting the customer. Horrible customer service. This is the first and last time I'll be buying anything from Mary Brown's Alliston. Do not come here unless you want to have extremely dry, rubbery chicken, or 10 minutes of a manager accusing the customer of lying. Just look at multiple other reviews for this resturant. I'm not the only one having these issues. Oh and what's really hilarious is that the manager after interrogating me, only offers to remake half my order. Half. I paid $66 for 18 pieces. At that premium, customers expect quality food and customer service. Both are missing here.

TERRIBLE, dry, chewy chicken, and the legs had virtually NO meat on them, the other pieces tasted like they'd been under a heat lamp for WEEKS, absolutely NO way it was fresh as advertised. Cole slaw and taters were good but only 1 star since the chicken should have been much better. The Angus location always has fresh, tasty and tender chicken so the issue was definitely the location. VERY disappointed.

I asked for spicy chicken. Not regular chicken with spice power on it.

★★★★★

It's a pick up and go home and eat place. So atmosphere is more than adequate for what it is. As far as the food is concerned, their chicken is always fresh, juicy, and drinking with oil like the other business Service. This place is incredible. We had a party today at my place with over 40 people and we ordered a lot of food and they had everything ready on time, we're very friendly. Everyone says hello and smiles on their faces, they help carry my order out to my truck and never made if feel like I was a a difficult order Definitely recommend this location all the time

Cookies tasted like they were cooked in an oven that I had something burning in it, they had a really smoky flavour. I feel like they would taste good if they weren’t cooked in a gross oven.

Ive had consistently good service and food here. I was a little disappointed to discover one night, while on a walk, that they closed their lobby at seven, because I could not access the drive-through on foot. Seems a little early to close. Its definitely pricey and I will only buy here if I have coupon or theres a good deal.

Disappointed to have to sit in a drive thru when I ordered through the app and should have been able to walk in to pickup the order, unfortunately their doors are locked after 7pm and can only use the drive thru. Inconvenient and then I have to explain what was in the order??

Friendly staff. Even the teenagers at the drive-through are super polite and professional. I used to like KFC, but their restaurants are very inconsistent. Some good and some bad. Mary Browns is always good. I prefer the fries over the taters, although I think most people would disagree with that - I think they sell a lot of taters. Their gravy is really good, and their pickles are the best. Occasionally, they give me a pop that is not very cold - I have to request that they reach back into the fridge to get the ones that have been chilling for a long time. No indoor tables. Picnic tables are available outside. I wish them continued success.

December 21, 2023

Large pop ins cost $13. Easy over priced for a box this size! Box is 2×2×3

Bought some chicken on Saturday afternoon. The chicken was well fried, not greasy nor hard was soft and moist. The taste of the meals depends on the skill of the cook. The Monday evenings, Friday nights and early Saturday afternoon chicken and fries usually taste better, than other days.

Just stood in the lobby for 5 minutes before walking out without being served. Nobody in the store or drive throug, nobody behind the counter and the lady in the back through the window in the kitchen area wouldnt lift her head to acknowledge me standing there. Horrible lack of service.

First time ordering here, the chicken was good, not dry, taters were just ok, kind of hard so maybe they were sitting for a bit. The worst part of the meal was the Buffalo wrap, the lettuce was brown and limp and the tortilla was completely stuck to the paper wrapper, not edible, the entire wrap fell apart and looked like a dogs breakfast. Overall, I d expect way better considering I paid 50 bucks for our food.

This location is not great! To ve honest Mary Browns chicken should be very disappointed. I ordered I payed.... waiting for a plant based burger so I can leave. Waiting about 30 mins before even telling they dont have them. They apparently cant get them. I guess they were waiting for me to leave without it. They asked me what I was still waiting for I told them and THEN they told me they dont have any. And then she was upset because I wanted a refund for the plant based burger I never got. Newfoundlanders around the world ... DONT GO THERE!

Did not like the fact we waited 15 mins to get to the window before telling us we had to wait another 15 minutes for them to complete our order. The food isnt the greatest to begin with in my opinion bit thier apple pies are fantastic. In short, if I have other options I will not chose this location

I walked in and ordered I have been very tired lately, I paid, got my food and left I got home I ate and realized I left my cellphone on the counter, my phone case also acts as my wallet so I was frantic. Its not like me to lose my phone, wallet or even keys. I got back to the store and they gave me back my phone. I was so so so grateful everything was in it. I grew up in Toronto so I was expecting the worst. The food was delicious and the coleslaw is amazing and I couldnt be more grateful to the amazing staff for returning my phone/wallet. I will 100% be going back i just hope I dont leave my phone next time.

Really friendly and extremely fast customer service. Chicken is really good. Not as much breading as other fast food chicken joints. If you like Popeyes a lot more than KFC, I find Popeyes Chicken slightly better, and a little more fresh tasting. The potato wedges here are boss though. Definitly a differentiating factor. The potato wedges are battered before being deep fried. They are really delicious.
