Mr. Chicken

Yum, yum, yum!!! If anyone remembers John Edwards on Telegraph and Chicago, you will surely appreciate Mr. Damn Good Chicken! The best broasted chicken I’ve ever had! It’s seasoned so well and the service is fast! I always get the 5 wing dinner, ½ broasted, ½ bbq’d! You will not be disappointed!

Truth be told I’ve never eaten inside however, I have carried out many many many times. The food is delicious!!! The chicken is good, the cole slaw is splendid and the roasted potatoes are amazing. The cole slaw is incredible it’s finely chopped and has the right amount of cream. The broasted potatoes are also great still have the potato skin on them. If my family has a BBQ or a get together it can be pretty much guaranteed there will be cole slaw and broasted potatoes.

Great chicken and boasted potatoes. Friendly and very clean. I have been going there since the late 80’s and still the same… great food

Love the chicken here! The coleslaw is ultimate! I would eat here more often if fewer calories were involved. The salad is fresh and the potatoes are great!!!

Good Broasted Chicken Pieces are a bit small but delicous. Very casual restaurant daily specials I believe mon and thurs they have chicken dinner specials. Broasted Potatos are good and if you get onion rings as a side you get a lot. Cole slaw is Best I have had. This is a place that «Our Older generation goes». dining room is simple Ribs are Baby backs and I highly recommend the chicken and rib combo. Dine in if you decide to try them because nothing beats chicken right out of the broaster. Even the wing dings are Great, Can’t say anything negative about this place. Again nothing special about the Dining room. They do more carry out than dine in I think but it’s still nice to dine in enjoy the freshly Broasted Chicken and Make sure to Take Care of your Wait Staff :-). Have kid’s meals (menu) also

Mr. Chicken, I love you so. From your broasted potatoes, to your french fries, to your home style ranch. Your chicken gives me cravings at night. If only I enjoyed your slaw. My husband adores it but I think it tastes soapy. To each their own. If you want quick, friendly, service, and a big ol’ bucket of broasted chicken, this is the place for you.
I’m really glad you are around, my favorite comfort food.

I can’t believe I’ve never ate here before. It’s a couple mins away from my house– always passing by and never giving it a chance! As soon as u walk in, u can smell the chicken. And after that you just can’t wait to eat it. I had gone w/​2 other ppl & we ordered the 8 Pc bucket. (all white * for us)
Let me just say our chicken came out golden brown. And it was delicious. Absolutely delicious. I hate coleslaw but the coleslaw made here was actually pretty good. Didn’t taste the bread but my sis enjoyed it. We also ordered a mix of broasted (thicker cut Potato) & reg. French fries. Didn’t care much for the broasted– had an odd taste to me. But boy oh boy the fries were to die for!
The atmosphere of this place reminded me of an old fashioned diner. Very clean– bathrooms could be a bit more updated. But that’s about it. Overall, my experience here was a success & I know I’ll be back to Mr chicken !

Their chicken is delicious, their carry-​out service is
great and they’re very friendly.

Perfect for family get togethers. Chicken is always juicy and delicious. Friendly staff too

Very good chicken. Love the wings!
Awesome service and carry out.
Just wish they had a good mac and Cheese: D

If you feel like visiting a diner from yesteryears, Mr. Chicken is the place to be. I felt as if I stepped back into the southern 1960s, with the home-y/grandma’s dining room feel… and I loved that. Our «drinks» hostess was an absolute doll, she was so nice and really made us feel welcomed. Our food hostess was super sweet too, and other staff members passed by and said hello to our baby or the kids. Lemme tell you, this was the best customer service experience I have ever come across. The food might not be 4 star gourmet, but the service was beyond 4 stars at this little restaurant. As for the food, it went right along with that country old fashioned feel. I seriously think my grandma had same dishes they serve with! We had the appetizer that includes all the fried stuff, which included zucchini and cauliflower. Nothing special but still good. I order clam chowder and yes, it tasted like it came out of a can but that’s okay because I like canned clam chowder! The chicken tenders were standard and yummy, the fried cod was moist and really good (and I wish dinner came with more of it!) and ooooooh the chicken. I mean, I know the place is called Mr. Chicken for a reason, but I didn’t expect the chicken to be that good. I really don’t like chicken on the bone to be honest but the chicken breast was sooooooo good! It was super moist and flavorful throughout, not just the skin, which rocked BTW. Bottom line: The chicken rules, the rest is good in a kitschy sort of way, and the staff are AWESOME. I would go back just for the atmosphere and great hostesses! If you are going down Telegraph and feeling hungry, stop by and get some chicken!

Came here with my husband for the first time last Friday. During Lent we try to find a new place for Fish & Chips each Friday. This week I picked Mr. Chicken. We were meeting my sister and her fiancé, so I wanted to find somewhere closer to them. I looked up F&C on Unilocal search, and Mr. Chicken was one of the places that popped up. Out of all the places listed — and all the reviews I read — this seemed like the best bet. I also thought my nieces and nephew were coming, so I had to steer away from bars. They didn’t end up coming, so I could’ve easily picked a bar. Oh well… next time for sure!
My sister said her work orders Mr. Chicken quite a bit, their chicken is delicious, but she had never been here either. I can tell you when we walked in the place it smelled heavenly! I really wanted to take part in some chicken action, but I restrained myself and ordered fish. I was actually looking forward to the fish though so it wasn’t too big of an upset.
We ordered the Fried Pickle Spears as an appetizer, and they were spectacular! They’re comparable to other places I’ve tried, but they weren’t so piping hot you couldn’t eat them! They were served with a side dish of Ranch (which was pretty fantastic) and a few packets of cocktail sauce. Different, but maybe it would taste alright? I don’t know… I stuck with good ol ranch! So I learned that the «dinner» choice comes with 3 pieces of fish, and the «snack» comes with 2 pieces of fish. You get a choice of 2 sides with both the dinner and the snack. The soup was Campbell’s Clam Chowder. The salad was an Iceberg salad. I believe applesauce and cottage cheese were also side options, which neither appealed to me. So I went with the potato (fries) for 1 side, and coleslaw for my 2^nd side which I ended up giving to my husband since I can’t eat cabbage.
We all ordered the fried cod (dinner) with fries, but my sister ordered the wedges. I tried one of her potato wedges and it was pretty awesome. Could’ve used a little more salt, but I liked them alot. I thought they were better than the fries, which were pretty standard — not the crispy kind. The fish was pretty good, and that was PIPING HOT! You definitely had to wait a little bit before taking a bite. I’m pretty sure all 4 of us said we burned our mouth/​tongue on the fish. Not bad, just good to know if you’ve never been here. The cod fillets weren’t the beer battered crispy kind. The batter was very thin — almost like a skin — and fell of the fish easily. It wasn’t bad and it definitely tasted good, but I prefer the crunchy, beer battered fish fillets.
Our waitress was great. She kept our drinks full, our tables cleared, and helped us with any questions we had regarding the menu. She was pretty cool. Service was quick & good. Fish & fries were average. I’m sure if I came back and had their chicken my rating would bump up a star for sure.

Great place to eat on way home from airport. I had chicken and ribs. My wife had chicken breast.
Ribs were good, not fabulous. Sauce was not good. I would skip them next time and concentrate on the chicken.
Cole slaw was good. I prefer larger pieces and creamier dressing, but this is more traditional.
Wedge fries good, as were onion rings.
Chicken was close to excellent. Nice crisp breading.
Desserts uninspiring — skipped it. Why nothing homemade?
And unfortunately, no liquor license. I like beer with fried chicken.
Best part was Teri, our waitress. She has been there 18 years! Great service!

I LOVE Mr. Chicken! The chicken is incredible, cole slaw great, wonderful onion rings. I’m not a huge fan of the potato wedges, they’re a bit bland but they’re a side you can choose.
When it comes down to it, I love the chicken here. The staff is friendly, if you order to go, it’s quick. I would eat here almost everyday if a roasted chicken was super healthy food! Great chicken!

Great chicken. How on earth are there this many reviews and no one is saying how bad the fries are? If you have to slip them up with ranch that does not mean it is a good fry! Get anything else, it’s great. Go to mcd’s also. Whatever, but I cannot understand how a place can have consistently inedible fries for years and the populous is silent about it…

Here chicken… chicken… Come out and play!!! (Weird I know)
Ok for people saying the ranch is oh so good — true but it isn’t an extra 84 cents good for a small size container. (No thank you next time)
I think this place is very reasonable especially their side of onion rings — the small to me looks like a large and that’s all you would need unless you are sharing which I usually don’t do. Yes i’m greedy so sue me!!!
I’ve eaten at many chicken spots and unfortunately they usually need seasoning added which I HATE — ugh but this place here has me sold. Its nothing you need to do but just eat them; as of right now i’ve been getting a carry-​out which only takes about 10mins and the food isn’t sitting under a light or anything. You can see the guys in the back cooking away.
Thanks for giving good service.
**Also try there apple-​dutch pie (Yummy)**

As first timers to Mr. Chicken, having heard the raves from numerous people, we wanted to try a little of everything. I’m sure people walking by our table, groaning with enough food for a hungry family of four, thought we were expecting company. Nope just us, but thanks. Here’s how it ranked:
Chicken Breast (3 pieces in the dinner, with 2 sides for $ 12) — 4 stars
Chicken Thighs (2 come with the Chicken and Cod dinner, with 2 sides for $ 9) — 3
Coleslaw (my side — Ken didn’t love it) — 3 stars
Cod — 2.5 stars
Broasted Potatoes (my side — neither one of us really loved it) — 2.5 stars
Onion Rings (Ken’s side, along with cottage cheese, which will go unranked) — 2 stars
4 Bone Snack (wow, these were not good) — 1 star
So… we’re still looking for the place with the best broasted chicken.
Shabby, but painfully clean interior. Decent-​sized parking lot.

This chicken is awesome! The waitresses are super nice. They make sure to always refill your drinks (without having to ask — most of time).
The ribs and shrimp are not the greatest but the sign says «Mr. Chicken».
Do yourself and your family a favor by taking them to Mr. Chcken to eat.

Bunch of us at work had Mr. Chicken today at work. Considering I’m still in the after-​glow of my Faym-​Us Chicken experience (
), I enjoyed the chicken but did not achieve food-​gasm.
The chicken was a tad soggy by the time it got back to the office, but the crust was still crisp-​enough and flavorful. The only downside to the chicken was the outer ¼″ of chicken was a little leathery. The potato wedges were WAY overdone and WAY soggy; I only ate one. The slaw was minced, though flavorful.
All in all I was satisfied, I’d go back.

Ate in here the other day with a friend of mine and it was an alright experience. I’m not downgrading the stars because the buckets of chicken are so good but I’d give this particular experience about 3 stars. The staff is lovely and super friendly, and if you get the chicken I’m sure you’ll be plenty happy but this time around I decided to go with the chicken sandwich which came with a pretty sad iceberg salad (although I will say the ranch was QUITE tasty).
The chicken sandwich itself was pretty plain. Just a fried chicken patty on a bun with a packet of mayo and some lettuce and tomato. The lettuce, again, was that standard iceberg and the tomato was a winter tomato – you know the kind, it’s mushy and not quite ripe. I’m picky about tomatoes because my mom grows such amazing ones in her backyard in the summertime so most tomatoes don’t hold a candle, especially the winter ones (they could be grown by magical holiday elves and I’d still probably be snooty about it). The chicken was actually quite good but it just made me wonder why I didn’t just order the chicken meal since that’s what’s what I love. Save myself some calories on the bun, you know? (hey, it’s not much when you’re eating fried chicken but at least it’s something!)
The french fries were pretty good and I found myself dipping them in the leftover salad ranch. Admittedly not my healthiest hour but there you have it. The prices, as always, were pretty darn cheap and made treating my friend to lunch not a terrible bank breaking experience.
I’m still definitely planning on eating here again and again but this time I’ll stick to the classic fried chicken!
