Was the best chicken 🐔 I've had in along time! Remember them days getting KFC back in the 80's well this place tastes like that! Everything down to the Mac salad!! Love the food!! 50 for 2 people to eat is alot if you ask me but definitely worth a good meal!!

They listened well to our instructions on the app of double bagging the taters and chicken in their own bags to keep them hotter, as we have a longer drive home before getting to eat. Great service.

So i always go on Monday for my big mary, i love it. But from last two times i went there late when they were like closing so i asked them like can i get a big mary if not it's all good. So they said yes you can and i took it home but when i had my first bite into the sandwich it was extremely spicy i almost vomited what i ate. Then i thought it's okay for one time then i went today and the same thing happened. Now i am hungry sitting here with a burger i cannot eat. Thanks never coming back so whomsoever rading this review dont go when they are like about to close.

I have been going here for years. I always had excellent customer service. Sadly I can't say this about last Sunday. I went to the cash register and was told I would have to down load the app and order it on there. I didn't have my phone so my granddaughter downloaded it on hers. In the meantime the store got busy and customers were all being waited on. We at first had trouble downloading ,then placing the order. We asked the person on cash a couple of times for help. He wasn't helpful at all. When we finally got the order placed it came through and the slip sat there. I told the person working cash that the order was there. He said; "Oh we are waiting on chicken." They continued taking and filling orders. Then he decided to get our order from the machine. We were there close to an hour, while others were in and out quickly. I phoned the manager a couple of days later , and he didn't really seem to care. Wow customer service isn't what it used to Note- So disappointed in the owner. I was asked by the owner to contact them by email and share my experience. I never heard back..it's been a few weeks.

Delicious chicken and consistent service! We ordered through the MB app and our order was ready upon arrival, prepared with generous servings and piping hot. I was greeted as soon as I entered and there was a special area to pick up app orders. I will return to this location again!

Great place to get fried chicken way better than KFC. Well its been 2 years since I have gone to this location, things have changed I went there recently to buy a 5 piece chicken tenders and ask if I can get the chicken freshly cooked because its at a slow time of the day. The people who are working there are not from Canada and say they cant cook fresh food.i get it these people hate Canadians but they still should of took my money for the Business to pay their wages and make profit for the Business.

★★★
May 22, 2024

This place used to be very efficient. Could get food in 5 minutes or less. Lately its been ramping up to 10-15 minutes to get your food. Even with all this extra time, the food comes piled together very haphazardly. Often times a mess in the packaging. Ive been eating here for a while, but slowly considering not ordering here anymore. The wait isnt worth the quality, the service, or the price.

We stopped in here and ordered the chicken finger meals and discovered that MB has changed their chicken fingers. They are smaller and have less batter. This in turn left us with a dried out finger. Other than this current issue we love Mary Browns and this location is one of our favourites.

Sure, you can buy a chicken sandwich and fries at a pub for $23 but youll never beat $12 for a Big Mary and taters and a drink. The atmosphere is lacking and theyre usually jammed (with takeout) but bang for the buck is hard to beat.

This spot has been here forever since I grew up in Sackville! My family loves their Big Mary and Im a fan of the ridiculous amount of delicious sauces they have available for dipping. Taters are solid too! Saved our butts with a family feast deal that wasnt just reasonable in price, but was ready in probably 10-15 with everything super fresh on a busy night before the holidays! Not a ton of parking here in the little strip mall, shared with many other small businesses. Probably the kindest cashier working here that Ive come across in a long time!

Great chicken, and we love the new biscuits. Customer service is usually so friendly, but we did have a bad experience, where they forgot to bag up the actual chicken we ordered (there were a lot of sides and some drinks too), and after driving home about 15 minutes away and noticing we had no chicken, I drove all the way back to see what happened. I had to wait about half an hour in the store for it be resolved. They were getting other orders wrong when I was there. I guess the worst experience was that they didnt believe me, even with my receipt. I had to wait around for them to check their cameras and then make the chicken again. As a regular customer, that was humiliating to be treated as though I wasnt telling the truth. I used to work in customer service and know on a busy Friday night, it can be crazy, but we were taught to resolve things kindly if customers had issues. I was being calm and friendly the whole time. In the end, the cameras backed up my story, we got our chicken, and a couple extra pieces, and apologies from some people. I was satisfied with the resolution, just not with the wait on what was a mistake on their end.

Ok places order on the app. 15-20 mins before pick up. The whole point for the pre order on the app is not to wait. It s 6:30 on a Thursday evening. They had no chicken. How do you not estimate how much chicken you will need at dinner time? Worked in food service before, and know how food estimation works. Sure there can be busier than usual. But this extremely weird for the time of day. Not impressed.

Ordered food on the phone and was asked how long before we picked up and told them 15min. Got there in 15, but they didn t start the order until I paid. Stood there for 20min, when I asked about why they don t start the order when I called they said it s because some people order and don t pick up, then I asked why are you asking for when I ll be there, they said don t shoot the messenger. Just a very confusing experience. Just say that in the phone or take payment on the phone. The food was great but the ordeal was not.

Great food! I will say though, the Buffalo chicken sandwich was spicier than I expected. I thought it was gonna be like most buffalo wings, but it was a little hotter than that. I had a hard time finishing it but my boyfriend loved it! Very tasty still, but be prepared for A LOT of sauce on the sandwich. The staff was super friendly and efficient

I love Mary Browns. Not being from Newfoundland-labrador had no idea they existed until they opened a store here. I adore their chicken and its much better than the 3 letter chicken chain that is around. Their taters are outstanding and also compliment any meal. My only minor thing is their coleslaw. Just alittle less dressing on it and it would be better. Their staff are also quite friendly.

All and all a great fast food experience, would highly recommend.

UPDATE: Gave Mary Browns Lower Sackville a second chance today. I have to say the experience was MUCH better. The food was fresh and tasty, the dining area was cleaner and brighter and the two staff I dealt with were VERY nice and friendly! Lets start with the food. Average, overpriced. Ive had Mary Browns chicken at the Tacoma Drive and Cole Harbour locations and it has been superior to this. This location seriously needs a renovation. It borders on being a dump. It obviously hasnt been update in many, many years. Dark and gloomy, feels dirty just by the dated decor. Disappointing that that eating area and public washrooms were closed, as the provincial rules are allowing for inside dining now. (note: I was planning on togo, but at least a place to sit to wait for your order would be nice) Lastly, the staff... Their demeanour was that they tolerated you being there, and was close to hostile. I would have loved this to have been a better experience, as, generally, I prefer Mary Browns over KFC, and I live in Sackville now. I guess I will not be having very much takeout chicken.
