The food is fresh and amazing. Customer service was really nice. The chicken pop ins and the big Mary sandwich are my favourites here.

This Mary Brown’s location is amazing! I got the 3-piece chicken meal, and the chicken was so juicy and crispy. The potato wedges were seasoned perfectly and tasted great with their gravy. I also tried their Big Mary Sandwich, and it was so fresh and flavorful. The staff were really polite and made sure everything was perfect. It’s one of the best fried chicken places in the area!

I stopped by this Mary Brown’s location for the first time, and I’m so glad I did! The 2-piece chicken meal was crispy and full of flavor, and the tater poutine was amazing—so cheesy and comforting. The Big Mary Sandwich was another standout, with tender chicken and a soft bun. The staff were really welcoming and made sure my order was perfect. I’ll definitely be back soon!

November 2, 2024

Food was super underwhelming. It’s lacking a lot of flavor even the potato wedges didn’t really pack a punch and they were extremely thick and hard for the ratio of food that you get compared to the burger & the side order. Coleslaw looked & tasted old. Food isn’t really that bad but you may as well spend your money elsewhere because it’s too expensive for the quality that you get.

Food could have been better. Unfortunately, 2 out of our 4 experiences at this location have not turned out how we thought. On 2 separate occasions, the chicken served to us was rotten, was brought up to staffs attention and were pleasantly offered for a replacement. Not to undermine the hard work of the staff, this review is meant to have the staff put a little more attention to the quality of food being served.

Today I ordered a batter's box special after a friend recommended it to me. Outstanding deal. I'll post a photo with one meal taken out already. Great service. Very friendly. I had to wait a short time, but I got fresh chicken and it was fantastic. Mary Brown's blows the competition away. The size of the pieces of chicken are double the competition. Even the wings are bigger than KFC's thigh or breast.

Extra ordinary customer service, they have just opened in Saint Thomas and their meal portion, taste is far better than Popeyes. I did dine-in in lunch time and then takeout at closing time (dinner). One of the best thing about their staff is how they greet people and feel you welcomed. Note: Try tarter with honey dip sauce. It's amazing. One of the restaurant employees recommended it, and I just fell in love with it.

Ordered their Big Mary Spicy. Asked for no pickles. Came with no pickles. Was disappointed though because the chicken itself wasn’t spicy at all. I don’t think they gave me the right one. Also lacked sauce. Their Nashville Taters were delicious and had a good zing to them.

Rhonda and her crew are amazing! Ive been eating there since they opened and should have done a review sooner. Fantastic customer service! Rhonda is by far so friendly and kind and always goes the extra mile. She knows me now as a regular customer and makes sure I have everything I need and knows my obsession with honey dill sauce. The food is always fresh, hot and delicious. The prices are comparable to all the food out there. My and I love Mary Browns and continue to return because of the food, service and great staff. Check them out of you havent! Tell them Ashley sent you!

We had a large feast delivered. Everything was delicious. The only negative comment we would have is the wedges were a little over cooked.

January 23, 2024

Absolutely unacceptable been here twice at Stthomas On. First time didn t have salad or order they offered noting not even refund of salad cost. No one know S what they re doing here no manager absolutely terrible service. Second visit due to being new in town I thought give it second chance. Well that was a waste of time. Ordered on apple Opulent let me order certain things Said it would be 15 min waited the 15 and went in and they told me they had no chicken ready and asked me to wait again. Unexceptionable. I do not recommend this place of business I believe in two strike rule Mary Browns two strikes your out back to KFC Update as of Dec 20 2022 was sent a gift card do rv our issues. So I will give them another attempt and update. When I have completed. Well been back just after Xmas. Well I was very disappointed like last time. Ordered 13 piece 6 were drumsticks 4 were wings 2 small backs no breast or backs absolutely terrible for he cost. Won tv e back Mary Browns. Oh also no management to talk to either I do not recommend this place. Looks like chicken is out in Stthomas might as well go to real Canadian superstore and buy there ready made chicken. It s actually better than this Mary Browns and KFC

Got a big Mary chicken sandwich today to try it out, after taking my first bite It left an aftertaste of mould in my mouth. The rest went right in the trash. Im pretty sure it was the bun. Pretty disappointing considering the sandwich was $10

For $50 worth of food, wasnt definitely worth it. The tater tots were tasteless and had an old taste to them, as if they were refried or reheated. The chicken lacked flavor. For the price I paid you can definitely eat better at other places.

December 23, 2023

Edited: switched the review from 2 stars to 1 on account that MB replied to my review asking my to email to rectify the issue. I did and they ignored it for 2 months and still have not replied which makes them lose all stars in my opinion. If your word isn t worth anything, well, are you worth anything? I ve ordered from this establishment a few times now. I was very happy with my first order and then each time since, the portion size seems to have got smaller each time. Prices have increased on the poutine and didn t include a pop anymore, ordered anyways and the poutine was even smaller as the container was not filled and just way too much gravy added that made it disgusting and had to be thrown out. Online ordering gives a bunch of error messages and the store can t even accommodate to correcting sizing. On top of that, chicken pop-ins containers aren t even filled (which is crazy based on these prices). Ordered a few things with each order and now I am feeling severely ripped off after today s purchase and won t be back.

I drove from Aylmer to Saint Thomas for Mary browns chicken, and their doors were closed 20 minutes early! I do not recommend at all, if your business is scheduled to be open until 10 PM, you should be open till 10 PM they had the doors closed at 9:40PM

The quality of this food has declined drastically. Had a Big Mary this visit and there was more batter than chicken and the quality of the cut of chicken was poor. At least the fries were hot this time but they forgot my small salad that cost $2.99 !!!!

They are really slow at the store everytime I go through the drive-thru there is at least a 15-2 half-hour wait on chicken and also the individual that take the order are really rude through the drive-thru but the lady at the window is very nice that makes up for some of the rude behavior

Ordered the limited time Batters Box. Everything was great! Gravy was tasty, fries were crispy and had a nice coating on them. Chicken was cooked to perfection.

Edit: Our first couple of times here were great and they have been getting worse every time we go. We have now decided to not go back and we have heard the same from others as well. Too bad, I always liked their chicken. We have eaten here twice, both takeout. We got the festive deal and were pleasantly surprised! Its much better than KFC and better than Popeyes. The chicken was sooooo moist! I think they pressure cook instead of deep fry but dont hold me to that. The wedges were good, the gravy was good, the biscuits were excellent and that was some of the best coleslaw Ive had in a long time!!

The only reason I am giving this restaurant a 5 stars is because ROSHIN was extremely thorough in taking my custom order. Most of the times they agree to make the order, but 9/10 times it s ignored. I knew when he took his time and confirmed it twice that I was going to get my order right. I really appreciate that because it makes it more appetizing!! I really hope to get him on future orders!! He is also very nice. I see big things happening for him in the future

I got Mary browns on opening week and it was delicious! Considering how busy they were with drive thru and inside they did really well. There is very little grease and I love how the chicken is blessed as well. I m just really proud on how well they have been doing. I m glad that we have a nice clean chicken place for once! I know there is gonna be a lot of complainers but I think people should reconsider the bad reviews. If you think Mary browns customer service is bad you should go to KFC.

When I worked in London I would enjoy this chicken as the best take out chicken you could get. Now a new store has opened in St Thomas and I stopped bye to get a take out menu. At home I sat down to go over the menu. Thank God I was sitting! The prices are Outrageous and you have lost a future customer.

Found a tiny piece of hair in my food the person who took my order was really nice but one of the people there who took another person order was such an a****** its too expensive the weight is way too long it took like an hour to get my food it took 20 minutes to wait to order it was good chicken theyre way too short staffed I could literally go on and on all freaking day

Nobody ahead of me, waited for half an hour in the drive thru for one meal, eventually people started getting backed up. However, when I did get the food it was god tier, but you guys gotta work on the wait in the drive thru, people in the drive thru come through to get their food quickly. At the very least, couldve compensated me with something extra or a coupon.

Such a terrible experience. Went when they first opened, it was bad but it was new so we gave it another try tonight. Ordered through their website with over an hour until the pick up time. Got there on time and had to wait. There was a worker just standing and walking back and forth doing absolutely nothing. They messed up the order, ran out of the pop requested but didnt say anything, messed up the sauces. Its unfortunate because theres so much potential for this place to be a great establishment if they put any effort in.
