Chicken’s bland. The crust is salty with no flavor. Not worth it.

I was unaware prices had skyrocketed so much. I don’t see browns lasting much more at these prices. Food was ok

$32 for a chicken sandwich with fries and a drink, 3 piece chicken tenders with fries and a drink!!! Didn't get mushroom order. My fault, should have checked, they always get it wrong!!!! I guess gambling machines make up for service.

Ordered from drive thru and had the Honey Hot boneless wings , onion rings and my boyfriend had Spicy tenders , Mac & cheese and mashed potatoes. We live close to 40 min away and by the time we got home the food was STILL FRESH AND TASTY. You definitely have to give the new lemonade mix in flavors a try . Each item was extremely delicious!!! KFC who??? We will be coming back because we loved everything!!! ??

I hardly ever see any Brown's chicken restaurants anymore, so when I saw this one, I knew I had to risk narrowly causing a minor accident just to swerve through several lanes of traffic to make a quick detour here. I placed my order through the drive-thru, and after a bit of a wait, I received my food. Had a long commute home, but the chicken was still warm and crunchy when I arrived.

I ordered the 8pc meal with 3 large sides (corn fritters, mashed potatoes and gravy, and stuffing) and a 1/2lb of chicken livers. Starting off with the fried chicken, the batter and skin were phenomenally crunchy and well-seasoned, and the meat was tender and perfectly cooked. The seasoning and batter mix were on the milder side but still present on the palette and not overwhelming, which I prefer over the aggressive seasoning some other fried chicken locations use. The chicken livers were out of this world. Chef's kiss. A+. Crunchy breading on the outside, and rich, creamy, vaguely minerally, soft, and perfectly cooked liver on the inside. Once again, beautifully seasoned.

The mashed potatoes were flavorless and tasted like it came from a poorly-funded high school cafeteria, but the gravy made up for it with its bit of saltiness and umami subtlety to complement the blandness of the mashed potatoes. The stuffing was compact and dense. Although not quite so visually appealing, it was decent enough. It was pretty generic in terms of flavor and dour when it comes to presentation, but it was also elevated, yet again, by a bit of the gravy poured over it.

The corn fritters were interesting, and I mean that in a good way. It's basically a hush puppy with powdered sugar sprinkled over it. I have never had a corn fritter prior to today and was pleasantly surprised by its deep-fried, corny goodness. Crunchy with a faintly sweet exterior and a slightly moist and mealy internal texture with bits of whole corn kernels spread around. Gonna have to give that a try with the gravy, as well.

Overall, the food was good. It brought back some fond memories. Had me feeling nostalgic afterward since it's been so long since I've last eaten Brown's Chicken, which was when I was just a wee Puppers, and am now a middle-aged Werewolf, so that was quite nice. Thanks for the good food, good service, and the fun trip down memory lane! I'll definitely be paying another visit. Cheers!

Vegetarian options: Probably not the place to go to for vegetarian options unless you're OK with the corn fritters, fries, mac-n-cheese, and mashed potatoes.

Dietary restrictions: I'd call ahead and confirm with them about any food allergens and any halal or gluten-free options.

Parking: It's a small location, but there are several spots on either side of the restaurant.

Kid-friendliness: What kid doesn't love fried chicken?

Wheelchair accessibility: The doors appeared to be wide enough to accommodate an assisted mobility advice. I did not notice an automatic door function.

My senior mama sends me here every few weeks or so. I don’t typically order food for myself but the inside ambiance is impressive. When you walk in, it’s a normal Brown’s chicken, but in the back right corner is the most unlikely and beautiful dining room that you would not expect! The drive through is a bit run down and not ideal, which is all the more reason to go in and check out the dining room. Still the best place to get corn fritters in the area. Mom loves the 3 piece chicken meal with cole slaw.
