The food here is the best American take out in Fergus. The owner is friendly and runs a good restaurant. The staff are always friendly and professional. The food is always perfect, we’ve never had a bad meal here.

With the price of fast food nowadays, I promise you'd be better off spending your hard earned money here. Yes it might be a couple bucks more than the place next door but the quality is unmatched and you can taste it in every bite. As for the service? I've never met a friendlier salesperson than Ammar. No matter your age, gender or race, he will welcome you with open arms and always leave you walking away with a smile. Between him or the chicken, im not sure whats better. He definitely deserves a raise, that's for sure!

I'm not sure why, but this location is ALWAYS, ridiculously painfully SLOW. 😓😓 The dining room is always full of people waiting. Today the wait was 45 fking minutes....for what? Fried chicken. I could have had a 3 course meal at a restaurant in that time, except I thought this was a better option for passing through. I already have a 3 hour drive ahead of me, this unnecessary delay is NOT impressive. 🤬🤬

A friend recommended the restaurant to me to try. The food was so nice and it left a lasting impression in my mouth. I definitely would want to try it again. My favorite was the swicy sauce wings. Definitely a must try!!!

Great service from all staff members we have interacted with. Great chicken tenders and the big mary. We haven't tried everything yet. But definitely highly recommend this location. The owner is very active in his business. Very clean location too. We look forward to our visit 😀 thank you for wonderful service. I highly recommend mb over kfc! If your wanting fresh chicken.

Fegus location was very clean. Spotless washrooms. Offered a Honey Dill sauce to me which was so delicious that I bought a bottle

December 28, 2021

I went here a couple weeks ago and bought a three piece meal for myself. I was so disappointed I asked for spicy and can you believe all they did was throw cayenne pepper on the chicken in big clumps. I called and complained and they told me that's how mary brown does it, well maybe this location but not others. Who just throws raw cayenne pepper on there chicken and calls it spicy.

Im never eating here again. Every time I get food here, the chicken seems like it was on the heater for a long time. I always ask for extra lettuce and never get it. They forgot the pickle a couple of times too. The taters are usually cold or barely all cooked. They always get my order wrong. I love Mary Browns, but not this place. Horrible experience every time. Im not sure if its just the night staff/weekend staff, but its always bad. Makes me wonder where all the other good reviews are from.

When my wife went to ask them I don t know if he is store manager he said you can t say that infront of other customers .

Worst experience ever. Waited 30 minutes watching others get full feast meals waiting on 2 simple kids meals. The sandwiches I ordered with them were ready and rather than bag them, they did not leave them under a heat lamp or anything but put them in their front counter area. For 10 minutes they sat on the counter where pens were rolling around and people moving everywhere. When I asked to have them replaced because they had been sitting out under NO heat source the manager made it seem like I was the issue. 30 minutes and the food was horrible and the service worse. Do not recommend this poorly staffed and under prepared restaurant. If driving to cottage country there are many other great options in these plazas where managers will own their slow service and apologize in hopes of making up for what was clearly their errors. Health inspectors I question if this establishment has adequate sources of heat to be serving poultry that is sitting out for pick ups or prep. I did not see a single heated area for food that was ready.

This was my very first Mary Browns experience, and while they were quite busy at the drive through the staff at the counter was incredibly friendly and welcoming while balancing taking and building orders for both inside and drive through orders. I was impressed with the food, which is fantastic for a fast food, but more impressed with the staff. This type of experience in these types of businesses have really been few and far between lately so I will absolutely be back!

Was just here over the weekend and believe me when I say me or my family will never be back ... walked in the door acknowledged the gentleman as soon as I walked through the doors he looked at me and didnt even respond ... had a unpleasant look on his face and a cocky ignorant strut ... walked around with his chest high like he was at the local gym ... I continued to be polite against my better judgment ... I approached the register and attempted to place an order but his ignorance and Unprofessional demeanor made me feel very uncomfortable. I asked him for a chicken sandwich and I politely asked him if he wouldnt mind dropping it fresh I had no problem waiting for it ... the place had 2 people sitting who already received there food it definitely wasnt busy ... he shook his head at me after rolling his eyes and ignorantly replied NO ... I said excuse me in disbelief and he said the chicken was fresh he just fried them at 5 pm it was almost 10pm feel free to watch the camera I will post the pictures and the time for the owners who may not believe this ... I then said I dont think its 2 much to ask and he again shook his head and made me feel pressured and ridiculous in the process a couple walks in and places a order I step aside and then he says rudely after I ask again ok I will drop it fresh ... I then place the order and pay a few minutes goes by and I notice he hasnt said anything to the cook in the back so I more then politely remind him to please let the cook know that I will wait for a fresh one and he gives me the look of death clearly didnt like me for some reason and I am very aware that racism is alive and well ... then he proceeds to tell me NO I am not making it fresh after already saying yes and taking my money ... I stood there for a second and I decided I didnt want this person to have anything to do with making my food ... so I asked for a refund and his ignorance and lack of professionalism shined again he said wait and walked off to the drive through window refusing my refund I then said listen give me my money back I dont like your attitude or your lack of customer service skills and once again he stood there grinding his teeth ... at what point in life do you have to go through this at a fast food restaurant ... Ive heard of angry customers but a angry ignorant order taker ... more then ridiculous and Unprofessional and I will take the time tomorrow to let the management and the head office know my experience and I would love to know why you have trash like this representing your business ... I live in town and my whole family and friends do to so trust me when. I say you didnt loose one customer you lost dozens . Period ... its that simple and where do you find this kinda staff ... clueless fresh of the stupid tree ... and honestly its disgusting that we have to go through this as customers and long time locals ... management I will be posting the pictures and the experience on social media this needs to stop ! ! ! We are the people who spend out hard earned money and we shouldnt have to be treated like this as customers . Train you employees to have manners and respect and teach them the right way ... hows that for a start ..

Unbelievably worst experience. The girl named Ritika was so irritating and she messed up our order. Always check your food before you leave. They gave me incomplete orders many times. Would give 0 stars if I can.

Ive been to the Fergus store 3 times in the last 2 months. My first time there I ordered a 3 piece chicken with no wing an with taters. I reside in Guelph Ontario. When I arrived home I opened the box and my order didnt have ant taters in it this ticked me off as it would anyone. My second time there I told them of my last order with no taters. They were kind enough to give me double the taters this time. I was content with that. On Sunday may 29 I was in Fergus again went to mary browns and ordered 3 piece chicken with no wing with Taters. Again when I arrived home in Guelph I discovered there were 3 pieces of chicken without any taters again. If you go to this store double check they fulfilled your order, as for me Im never going there again. This place is a rip-off

I have but one complaint, and that was that my spicy chicken sandwich was almost inedible. I guess the spice shaker got away on the prep cook and I had this one area that was oversaturated with spice that I chocked on for a couple minutes. Other than that...the food and service was fabulous and courteous. It has been a long time since I have had Mary Browns but somehow those wedges have become more addictive than what they were before. Though my sandwich was a bit of a letdown, I now know to play it safe and just bask in the greatness of what is Mary browns. Had I ordered a regular sandwich I am pretty sure I would have had to somehow pencil in and extra star.
