M&J's Family Restaurant in Fort Erie

My favourite place for dinner! Food is always excellent!

Ordered and just chicken came, even though the door dash stated it came with rolls, coleslaw and mashed potatoes. When I called to talk to them about this mistake they were rude and did not want to help at all. I get that menus change but there is no need to be rude.

An excellent choice for breakfast

Exceptional service, delicious food and an overall cozy place. Will definitely return!

Absolutely love this place!!! Sad to see tulla sold it. But sooo happy to c her still working there (1 day aweek) and that they kept everything the same. Love everything especially their peppersteak sub. Delicious

Best service in town I love food

Totally my go to place for lunch ,dinner the best Broasted Chicken and service .Highly recommend .

The best chicken & wings place. Price is great for how delicious it is.

Wayyyyy better than the Barrell

Daily specials good food prices are good

Good food. Friendly staff.

Amazing service and amazing food!!

We ordered Fish Dinners, Seafood Platters and Hotdogs. All Seafood was very oily, more bread than fish. Terrible taste and waste of money. French fries probably fried in old oil, we couldnt eat them. Awful experience!!!

I went in last year and had a not so good experience with one of the waitresses and I decided to go back in again. I ordered a western omelet and said no cheese. It came with cheese and the girl came back and said they can replace it but I would have to buy another omelet and they would give me a $2.00 discount. My husband is the very quiet and is not at all confrontational but this just about floored him and he spoke up and said. I heard my wife say no cheese because she cant eat cheese and you want her to purchase another omelet and you will give us a $2.00 discount. The young girl was clearly upset because she was only going by what the owner told her. We ultimately got my meal free but the worse part was my spouse couldnt eat his meal because the peameal bacon was bad. We were so upset that we didnt even care to mention the peameal tasting bad and left. This is the 2nd and last time we will go to this establishment.

We found Jarritos! It has great service and the food (fish and chips and chicken wings) were excellent!

Delicious breakfast spot! Full of charm and great service.

Great Food service and atmosphere clean beautiful servers Thank you my people good job

I didnt go in, my wife did. However, the food she brought out WAS AMAZING!!! I highly recommend M&Js to anyone.

A hidden gem in Fort Erie! Outstanding service, incredible prices, and good food. The loganberry drink is delicious! The seating area is limited. They are busy so you d do best to order at the counter then find your seating. Locals frequent this place. Best customer service around!

The food Was very delicious

Read previous reviews so I had to try the supposed excellent fish and chips. Hmmm frozen crinkle fries and frozen haddock fillet. Was just ok. Nothing was fresh so how can it be excellent fish and chips. It can t. Sorry. The people are awesome that own the restaurant but in no way is it great or excellent.

Good spot for breakfast . Wait times a little long and it can get tight in there . Either then that foods good.

Awesome place! Chicken and potatoes were delicious. Potatoes are made different than I expected and they were unreal. Highly recommend eating here. Food was fresh and hot. Services was great as well!

Chicken, chicken nuggets, and French fries were amazing, great food and great people!

Ordered footlongs and fries. Everything was dried right out fries cooked too much and asked for light toppings and got NONE. This town is really going down with what used to be very good at less prices. Honestly I am disgusted and dont care to waste any more money. I should have returned it and told them to try it.

Loved the chicken and fries.

Realise people and best food

Always get great food and the servers are always nice.

The food was good, service was friendly. We ordered out but when we picked up restraunt looked clean and friendly. Coleslaw was amazing and amount and size of chicken for family size was worth the price. Definitely recommend if you like fries chicken

Always have enjoyed this place. Ever since I was a kid. Their broasted chicken is to die for. The chicken wings done the same way are excellent.

The staff at this location are always friendly and my order is always correct. I never mind waiting especially because that means its super fresh from Mr deep london

Great diner type food, good prices, food was hot and fresh. My friend and I dined in and the food was ready in about five minutes. Very pleased with the process as you order, pay, then sit down to eat.

Legit bs place ... Doesnt know how to read orders properly at all! Dont ever go there asking for french toast cause youll never fuggen get it.

The food was Awesome

Amazing chicken and Greek salad

Great service Ann was the best server we ever had great food to pricey for me but u get what upay for awesome place

Trash the lady working the counter is rude and lost 200$ of server and yelled at customer most disrespectful person I have meet will not be returning

Best shop in town Best chicken in town. Always kind and welcoming. Service is amazing, food is awesome

Best restaurant in town

For a tiny place, a nice enough atmosphere, but we never got to the food part, because we werent greeted at the door, and we sat down, waiting, and while there was only 1 table already served, the owner spent about 15-20 minutes on the phone with his back to us, then began serving another customer that had just walked in the door, before even looking our way. So we left and went on down the road... As we left, a woman finally came from behind the counter, but my partner was already done with the waiting, and we left. If you go here, step up to the cash register and tap that guy standing there with his cellphone to his ear, on the shoulder...

Clean, busy , had chicken and fish, chicken was good, fish had too much batter for my liking , found prices to be on the more expensive side for portions

Ordered a 12 piece dinner at rush hour they were fast and very friendly service thanks so much will be back - Larry!

Had breakfast here and it was great. Price was really good. Can t wait to try the chicken.

Great little place! Highly recommended. We will be back

First time here, hubby and I stopped in the grab food between shifts. Both had burgers and fries. And they were really good. Will def be on our list of lunch places to go. give it a try if youre in Fort Erie

Very good boasted chicken, friendly owners and reasonable prices

Cute Lil place. The woman who served us was lovely. The chicken was SO crispy and light but not greasy. The meat itself is juicy and flavourful. Coleslaw is even yum. But........those potatoes.......oh those potatoes ! Crispy outside and soft inside. Ive never gotten potatoes like this anywhere else. Everything was awesome. They have lots of other options and now I wanna try em all

Best Broasted chicken in Town . I had Pepper steak and it was great Parking: Not a problem Kid-friendliness: Sure bring em Wheelchair accessibility: You can easily get in and out

Best chicken in town! The lunch specials are a great deal

Good quality food, excellent pricing on specials.

Always consistently delicious. Best restaurant in town!

Top quality food

Good boasted chicken in FE. Always fresh and cooked to order.

My family and I are regulars. The food is consistently great. Friendly staff and the taste is like no other. If you havent had the opportunity to try their boasted chicken, I highly reccommend you do.

Lovely ambience of food and people.

MJs is a great broasted chicken restaurant. The staff is always cheerful. The food is amazing. Made fresh to order. Never encountered any issues here. Highly recommend m&Js to anyone in the area. It is recently under new owner /management but it has not changed any of the quality of food or service.

Boasted chicken the best in town.

They make an awesome M&J Burger to die for

Great chicken

Wow, the first restaurant in fort erie with GOOD FOOD! the fish and chips is wonderful, tartar sauce is made fresh and their coleslaw is very tasty. The reason im giving a 4 star is because the chips are dry taste like a cheap version of bad fries. Will definitely order again !

Good customer service. Good food. Fish and chips excellent.

Amazing food, Ive tried nearly everything on the menu over the years and Ive liked it all.

Ordered 2 days in a row lol There food is busin best family restaurant in fort erie my daughter in law had the fish and chips it was awesome i had the clubhouse plater awsome my daughter had the chicken fingers awsome and my sone had the steak sandwich awsome and my other boy had the nuggets awsome will definitely order again

Amazing food, and wonderful people. One of my favourite places.

Broasted chicken at its finest! A longtime local delight! Always great!

The food has always been fresh and hot.

Chicken is decent but wildly overpriced. Do not recommend the poutine. McCain fries with generic gravy.

Excellant Yummy Yummy.! Parking: Excellant service Excellant food Excellant parking Yummy yummy

Been going here for 20 years and it s the best food in town. Best beef dip and fish and chips. Don t be Fooled by all the fancy restaurants in town this is the best

Great Portions . Hot and fresh . Service was happy and pleasant thanks

Extremely rude owner. Greeted with it s going to be a 25 mins wait, do you still want it? with no hello or a smile. Walked out right away.

My wife and I just ordered M&Js for the first time. This place is amazing. Best chicken Ive ever tasted. Its crispy and its delicious. Definitely ordering food here again.

Pricey

We are so fortunate to have amazing places in Fort Erie like M&Js. Wish Ken and his team nothing but the best ! Thanks for the amazing hospitality Cory

Way to expensive.

Great food, nice small family recent. Had the breakfast and it was great!!

Best chicken in Niagara Region, Fort Erie.

Disgusting ethics, service & food. Ordered 2 of their advertised Ribeye steak and 3 egg breakfast meals with coffee. We told the man wed like our steaks medium. He appeared confused so we repeated wed like our steaks Medium. This is a normal request when ordering steaks to let them know how you want it cooked. One was with scrambled eggs the other over easy. We had to pay in advance for our meals which came to $40.00. He did not provide us with a receipt so all we have is our debit transaction as proof to our purchase. There are no washrooms in the restaurant so we had to use the hand sanitizer. When the man brought us our meals we noticed that we did not get the advertised Ribeye steak. They served us cheap lunch meat. It was not even cooked as we had requested. We mentioned to him that we expecting the advertised Ribeye steaks and he simply said this is how we serve Ribeye steak and he walked away from us. The scrambled eggs were not cooked / raw inside, the meat was disgusting with no flavour, cold and definitely not Ribeye nor fresh meat. The over easy eggs were over cooked with no egg yolks to dip toast into. When the man came back to our table we told him that this was not what we had ordered and were clearly mislead that we were getting Ribeye steak versus the nasty sliced lunch meat that was definitely not Ribeye steak. We pointed out how the meals werent even cooked properly. We told him that he could have told us they dont serve Ribeye steak as he advertised when we ordered before taking our money instead of trying to pass off old lunch meat as Ribeye steak. We asked for a refund and he refused. He simply said next time it might be better and he walked away from us with our plates and threw our food in the garbage. We sat waiting for 15 mins to see if hed refund us and he stayed hiding in the kitchen. The man and the woman who was cooking clearly have no ethics and do not provide the food that they advertise. This business should be shut down for their fraud. They should have done the right thing and reimbursed us our $40 instead of just walking away with the food we paid for and throwing it away in the garbage without reimbursing us our money for the garbage they tried served us. Clearly they knew their food was garbage since he threw it in the garbage on us. They are thieves. Definitely a restaurant to avoid so you dont get ripped off like we were! Took our money and failed to provide us with the food we paid upfront for. He didnt even bother to try to correct the situation nor did he bother to apologize to us. Absolutely disgusting experience at M&Js!

The chicken is definitely good . They have friendly staff and it has always been one of the best little restaurants around. unfortunately it is now extremely overpriced. I totally understand that during this pandemic everything cost more so prices will increase but almost double is crazy and just offensive to long time customers. Get back to reality please.

Great Chicken and potatoes!

Good food. Good people. Always happy and fun place to be.

$25 plate . The audacity. fried are frozen non fresh . Yuck no taste yuck -10/10 Ill never come back jusy for the Frys to start. Bland terrible precut bags from the freezer. Sauces are aplenty . The single stick of chicken that wasnt too dry but meh . Mixed with the terrible looking Greek salad with minimal toppings and lots of warm lettuce. 0/10 never again $50 for two chicken sticks A TERIBLE SALAD SONE SAUCES and TERRIBLE FRYS GET NEW FRYS!

Nice lighting. Welcoming counter staff. Excellent portions.

chicken is great breakfast is wow

Excellent

Excellent service. Very friendly and thoughtful people. Obliging in every way. They dont hold back on anything. Will definitely stop by again if I am in Fort Erie.

This place is amazing. The chicken is probably the best tasting chicken you will find anywhere. The potatos, gravy, coleslaw & buns we ordered as well, always keep us coming back for more. Best ever !!!

The best chicken roasted ever. All those menu is delicious. Warm and friendly customer service and atmosphere. Love this restaurant been my favorite for at least 35 yrs

Best chicken

Fish and chip dinner absolutely amazing

The broasted chicken here is great . If you get chicken here order a bit extra that way you have some for the next day. Lol

Great food !!!! Always friendly and Owners so great to talk too. Fresh food and willing to accommodate any slight changes. Tried logan berry mixed with 7up there and so good! Thanks for the great food and service. Forever a customer!

Great food!!

A safe bet.

Fresh tasty food.

Great chicken

The chicken is some of the best Ive had! The staff and service is top shelf!

Great Fish& chips

Best chicken around ontario even better than KFC

The best take out in Fort Erie!!!!!!! No other words needed.

Great chicken!!!!

The quality of food has sunk. The new owners don t seem to really know what they re doing. Chicken went from awesome to poor. I just ordered an M&J burger with onion rings, one of my favourites there. Very few onion rings and the ones they did give me were extremely over cooked. The burger was bland. Please bring back the previous owners. They can t keep serving subpar food for the same prices. I paid $9.95 for a bland burger and dried out onion rings

We drive a half hour to get this chicken because everyone loves it so much

best chicken in ontario

Best broasted chicken ever. Great people. Small town feel. Worth the drive.

Not worth the price. Chicken is overpriced and the flavour was underwhelming. Not saying its bad but when youd rather have a fast food chain over a local business than youre doing something wrong with the seasoning. Mind you the chicken is cleaner and healthier but the breading had no real flavour. Worse than the chicken was the fries. We got a poutine and the fries tasted like mcain oven fries. Very dry inside and not tasty at all. In conclusion its overpriced for what it is and thats why I wont be returning.

Everything we have ever got has been fabulous.

It has been many years since I have been to MJs restaurant. I had business in FT Erie and as I drove past M and JKsnch suddenly had a craving for Broasted Chicken. It was so good....just as I remembered! I will be travelling to Ft Erie more often and will definitely make a stop at M and Js.

Excellent broasted chicken. So delicious. Calling ahead for pickup is so convenient.

Great family restaurant atmosphere, awesome chicken!

Great food, great service, wonderfully nice people and not over priced. Was 5 stars but different people are now running this restaurant. I have not been there since the change in ownership... ...Been there. Not as good as before. Wont be going back. I will give 4 stars because they were very nice.

Yummy. Need I sayore

Just moved from Toronto a year ago tried out a lot of different restaurants in the area nothing compares to m & Js family restaurant, the chicken is to die for the prices are very reasonable and the quantity you can barely finish, highly recommend them you wont be disappointed

Their food and staff is amazing

Great Place Foods always good Fried Chicken is Staff and owners always super friendly

I m in town for business trip and found this family owned fried chicken place... fantastic! I can t say more! Friendly staff, delicious food, reasonable price! I just wish they could adjust the closing time... close too early!!!!

Best chicken in town. Always kind and welcoming. Service is amazing, food is awesome!

Good chicken in Fort erie, ont. If you love chicken broasted this is the place to be.

Love this place, best place in town for chicken

Amazing chicken

Boasted chicken is fried dry and unseasoned. Fried fish is great, but they can keep the fries. Breakfast is good and cheap.

Boyfriend said the m&j burger was excellent! And we both agree that they have probably the best hotdogs weve had in a long time! Also the poutine is awesome! Definitely my favorite poutine, in Fort Erie especially!

Great broasted chicken

As good as it gets.

Decided to give this restaurant a shot as I am not in the area often, and saw the good reviews and just .. WOW. That is EASILY some of the best chicken Ive have ever had. I got 3 Massive pieces of chicken, a roll, coleslaw and incredible potatos all for $10.45. You get what you pay for and then some! This restaurant is top quality. Makes Popeyes and KFC laughable.

Absolutely the best part of Fort Erie

Wow, what great food and service. Defently a place to check out. Its finger licking good !!!

Great food great service

Good

Absolutely love the food and the owners. We unfortunately no longer live in Fort Erie but they still remember us when we come in. Truly amazing!

Screwed up order waiting half hour after we already called in and then when we got home the order wasnt right! Tasted great but I must ask how is fish and chips with out French fries?

Great food to order. Nothing sitting around in a bin for hours. Love the staff feels like eating at a friends house.

Best chicken ever

Was in town visiting my parents and ordered from here based on my friends recommendation. Great food and friendly service! Will definitely be repeat customer when I am back in town :)

This place has been around for a long time. Family owned, very friendly and good food

Love this place

Ive enjoyed their food numerous time. The food is delicious. The service is friendly. Highly recommend you order from M&J

Delicious food

Was looking for good homemade fried chick and his place was recommended. OMG the best chicken a little under seasoned but jucy and nice and the onion rings!!!! Wow.

Good fast food, generous portions. Definitely worth a drive and and another visit! So far we have tried the Fried Chicken (Excellent), Seafood Platter (Excellent) and the Bacon Cheese Burger (Very Good), absolutely no regrets!
