“Poutine is great! It’s a “snack” size so its portion is not really really really huge, it gets the job done. They covered it in so much sauce which is perfection for poutine lovers. I love the fries and cheese curds. Would come here again for a $10 total poutine. I was also told no peanuts in the kitchen for any peanut allergy people. Service is great too, Caroline carrying“

“lovleyyyy fast service American amazing Cobb salad. our whole family left everything they got. Extra points for the fresh flowers on the table. We visited Calgary location. I am from the states and it was nice to have the vibe“

“Food pancho sándwich Yess“

“This is the meal we got: 6 pcs Chicken 🍗, generous side of Wedges , 2 biscuits, 1 gravy. For $23.99. I would call that a good deal. Chicken was fresh, Not double-fried, and the taste was on point. Would recommend this location of Mary Brown's.“

“My new favorite chicken! Cleaner. My experience with the American brands are gamey by comparison. Also, not changing your cooking oil with a good frequency is noticeable. They seem to stay on top of that by comparison as well. And good flavor too.“

“It’s better then KFC Cheese stick OMG🤤best I’ve ever had The spicy 🌶️ pastas ou 😋 So I give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The owner is real cool. I love the Padak there. It is the best in town as far I know. Worth going. Enough food for what you pay for! Love it! Some cute waiters too. Plus coffee is available when you are done your meal.“

“Marrybrown has always had a reputation for offering delicious, comforting fast food with a unique twist, and my recent visit certainly reminded me why the brand has such a loyal following. While not without its limitations, the overall experience was enjoyable, satisfying, and worth recommending—especially for anyone craving flavourful fried chicken and a good side of coleslaw.

The first thing you notice at Marrybrown is its bright, welcoming atmosphere. The décor is cheerful and clean, designed to give off a fresh and modern fast-food vibe. However, one immediate drawback is the limited seating. The dining area is noticeably smaller compared to most fast-food chains, and during busy hours it can be challenging to find a table. This can make the dine-in experience feel a bit rushed, especially for families or groups. That said, the staff do their best to keep the space tidy and turnover efficient.

Now, onto the highlight of Marrybrown: the chicken. It’s easily one of the best reasons to visit. The chicken is consistently crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, seasoned with a flavour profile that stands out from other fast-food brands. It has just the right balance of spice and crunch without being overly greasy. Whether you opt for the classic fried chicken or their signature spicy version, each bite delivers a satisfying and well-marinated taste. It’s clear that Marrybrown takes pride in maintaining quality and freshness, and it truly shows.

Another standout item is their coleslaw, which deserves just as much praise. Unlike the overly sweet or watery versions often found in fast-food places, Marrybrown’s coleslaw is refreshing, crunchy, and perfectly creamy. The balance of cabbage, carrots, and dressing feels just right—simple but well-executed. It complements the chicken beautifully and adds a nice, cooling contrast to the meal.

Service at Marrybrown is generally quick and friendly, even during peak hours. Staff remain polite and efficient, ensuring orders come out fresh and accurate. Prices are reasonable and competitive, making it a good option for a quick lunch or casual dinner.

While the limited seating can be inconvenient, the quality of the food—especially the chicken and coleslaw—makes Marrybrown worth the visit. For fast-food lovers who prioritize taste over ambiance, this place hits the spot. With a bit more dining space, it could easily reach five-star territory.“

“We had a great experience at the Church’s Chicken on St. Clair West. The service from Lovepreet at the counter was excellent, friendly, fast, and professional. The kitchen staff also did a great job; the food came out fresh, hot, and tasty. It’s always nice to see a team that cares about their customers. Definitely one of the better Church’s locations I’ve visited.“

“Bunz Banned Zone brought to you by Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen.“

“The customer service was excellent and we felt welcome. The food was really fresh because the chicken was steaming . Simran showed great initiative when we forgot our buttermilk and sweet heat sauces she brought them across to our table which was a pleasant surprise. I would recommend eating at this popeyes location.“

“This place is gonna be always the best. This is the third review for the same restaurant in different location. I love it. Everything really tasty in there today. I try a fried chicken with fries. It’s absolutely delicious. Delicious. I really recommended.“

“Very nice place !!! Good and quality food 🥳“

“I’m really grateful for finding and keeping my wallet! I only realized the next day that it was missing and called Jollibee to ask about it. The phone connection wasn’t great and I couldn’t hear clearly, but the staff were really nice and helpful~

Thanks to whoever found my wallet and gave it to the staff!

Food review:
The food is amazing too, I reheated my sandwich from the night before and it still tastes great. Jollibee is my go-to spot every time I’m in town. Just can’t miss the chicken!“

“We had a wonderful experience at this location. Although it’s smaller than the other branch, it’s impressively clean and well-organized. From the moment you walk in, the staff welcome you with warm smiles. They’re friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive—especially Nats, who stood out for impressive service. The menu offers a great variety, and the food itself is excellent.“

“The chicken is extra crispy, juicy, big pieces, and the spicy has a nice kick. Mashed potatoes and gravy were good. Wish they had mac & cheese. So much better than KFC. Better than Popeye’s. Went at 6pm on Nov. 24. The counter staff were very nice and friendly. Looking forward to returning. Please open one in Hamilton!“

“They give ketchup for the combo of $30 dollars the amount for like one fries and when I went to ask for some more they gave me just one more little container with so little that is lost in the title container I asked again and I said is too little they just gave me attitude.“

“Delicious wings with great sauces. We loved the varieties and the freshness that caters for fussy eaters. We had wings, bites and a sandwich - made a happy outing and suited everyone’s cravings. Amazing place do check it out.“

“very affordable prices..very delicious food..highly recommended..100%“

“Normally was not a fan of fried chicken or fried food. But this was phenomenal, food was made with nothing but pure effort and taste, service was absolutely through the roof. Very polite and understanding staff, if you’re confused about what to get and what it’s like trying new things this staff will definitely assist you. This shop is also running through new management and they are doing an amazing job running popeyes, definitely will be come back again sometime soon.“
