I got a regular size side, mashed potatoe and gravy. very small for the price. Tasted like powdered potatoes but I'm not sure. 2 pcs of dark meat chicken with corn bread(which I was happy about this change). The chicken while juicy was barely warm. I wondered how is Brown's chicken staying open? for $11.49 this was not a quality meal. The person who plated up the food should have taken 2 minutes to make sure all food items are nice and hot. I'm just wondering what items are the top sellers? read more

I found the shrimp and chicken breasts that my husband and I have are always good. Also I found the owner to be friendly as well as his employees. read more

They charge 2.75% to do bussiness with them; time to eat else wear they do not charge rip off fee

I forget how good this place is! We have recently ordered twice - the chicken is SO good! So juicy and flavorful! Over 2 visits we tried mashed potato's/gravy, coleslaw, cheesy potato's, baked beans, fried mushrooms. All are excellent! We just call to order - they are VERY nice and fast. Great place!! read more

Picked up two chicken breasts around 7 pm on Saturday. Dried out. Terrible. Not going back

Ordered chicken to-go. I did not care for the breading. It was lacking any crunch and tasted like flour. Once was enough

Hard to find quality fried chicken. Not too many Brown's Chicken around any more and so very HAPPY this one exists. Great staff, efficient and "IT TASTES BETTER " just as I remember from the late 70's & 80's. read more

Horrible how are you a chicken restaurant with a 20 minute wait for chicken. What are you working there for?

From out of town, visiting family and needed to get some food for the group. Brown's was requested so off i went to get food for about 5 of us. Aside from the business being dated and in need of a renovation, I can tell you that the service was excellent. The group of us found the following items to be great: hot perfectly cooked onion rings and french fries , a very tasty Italian beef, friend chicken, chicken tenders (with a variety of tasty sauces), piping hot baked beans, mashed potatoes & gravy, fresh cole slaw, really good rib tips over fries and some delicious corn fritters. There have been comments about the cleanliness of the kitchen. I didn't see any of that. The two gentlemen who were working had the place clean and made us a great meal. read more

Great customer service! I worked at a Browns when I was a kid and I know that food service can be difficult but everyone that works here is nice and fast. Good food! I love the new cheese curds! read more

I will have a hard time coming back to this restaurant for a while. If it is this dirty where customers can see it how dirty is I'm in the kitchen area where they are making food??? You guys can do better. Have some pride in your restaurant. Popeyes is opening soon and I am sure they are going take whatever business you have left if you do not do something fast!! Also the tv has burn out lines every where. It would cost $400 at Costco to improve that look for sure. Good luck!! read more

See all

My husband brought home Browns chicken, mashed potatoes w/gravy, 3 rolls, and mac & cheese. The chicken was hard, and old looking and tasted nasty! The mashed potatoes weren't hot, and the gravy was so salty, that's all we tasted- horrible! Mac & cheese was tasteless, blah! The 3 rolls were good! Just a horrible dinner, a total waste of money! Never again. Sorry, get it right! read more

it Seemed as though they were in a rush to get my order out the door. Chicken pale in color, not golden brown by any means, corn was subpar , fries tasted like they pulled them out a minute too soon. Biscuit was tasteless and i ordered three cookies, no Cookies in the bag and the bag was sealed. read more

Worst meal I've had in a long time. Chicken breast had this thick mealy coating and seemed very undercooked. The actual meat was chewy and just tasted old. I really can't believe they are serving something like that to a customer. The muffin/biscuit thing that was served with my meal was just odd and unappealing and they also didn't give me the side I ordered (fries). I took two bites and decided to trash it and heat up a frozen dinner. When I was a kid we used to love going to brown's, and now I wouldn't go back for a free meal. Do yourself a favor and go anywhere else. read more

Tried ordering food at 8:10 but they apparently decided to close early. I was on my way there and called to make my order and the lady was like oh I was just about to leave....well it says your open to 830 online and 9pm on yelp but you had everything closed down and walking out at 810? read more

I am not a employee...and I forgot I reviewed this location last year.... I just wanted to shout out that we ordered again tonight, and I was totally impressed customer service. Close to closing time, and "Joseph" happily took my order for "this and that" with total patience . Even asked when I was done..."are you sure you don't want anything else?" Honored a coupon I had forgotten to send with my son for pickup...everything was perfect on order.... Chicken was very good...although crust is almost too thick and crunchy for my taste. Thighs were nice and juicy and delicious! Legs could have been taken out a touch sooner...a little too dry. Family loves the fried mushrooms...and we tried bread sticks for the first time! Fought over them! . Much more our taste than biscuits. Also like that there are so many other choices on their menu! I would have gone to a 5 star review, except surprised hours were only to 8PM on a Saturday. Then website says 9:00 on Sunday? Need to straighten that out...otherwise super happy customer! read more

Great chicken and mushrooms. YUM. Glad to have a Browns Chicken close by. I ordered Mr. Browns special, another 1/2# of mushroom's and 6 more pieces of chicken. All were great. read more

3.5 stars for their chicken. Rounding up because they've given good customer service the times I went. The thick, buttermilk crust on their chicken and mushrooms is phenomenal. Crunchy and flavorful. The inside chicken meat though is a bit bland and not as juicy as I'd like it to be. I usually get their wings for $1 each. On my most recent visit, the jovial employee offered me coupons to use when I picked up their menu pamphlet (I had already ordered at that point). That was an appreciated gesture. Look for their coupons in your newspaper/weekly circulation- my fave is their 3pc wing meal ($3.99, comes with a side and biscuit). read more

Brown's Chicken - $1 wings - Chicken Wings Near Me - Saint Charles, Illinois

Had a catering order of 100 fried and 30 grilled chicken and I was SO impressed! From the ease of ordering to the on tine readiness, it was hot, made perfectly, and delicious!! Our guests all asked where it was from and raved about the taste! We highly recommend it for your next party. read more

Great food just don't waste your time on their slot machine area they don't pay so just get your food and leave j&j gaming area isn't worth your time plus they have ancient machines probably why they don't pay read more

The service here is horrible. I thought the guy was mute because he hardly talked. Only gave me 5 boneless wings and a soggy biscuit. I never had a problem with any browns chicken for this location. read more

Ordered delivery for a three piEve chicken with sides... one small breast and two wings with hardly any meat on them. Don't think I'll use them again. read more

We had a large party on Saturday, and we always get catering. This year we chose Brown's in St Charles. They did a fantastic job getting all the food for 80 people ( a house salad for 25, fried mushrooms for 40, fritters for 40, 2 pans of mostaccoli, 2 pans of cole slaw, 2 pans of potato salad, 3 huuuge trays of chicken, 2 pans of italian beef, rolls, peppers, etc.) to our house and it was even warm when it got here! So minimal amounts of warming was necessary. They supplied the trays, napkins, silverware, plates, sterno cans etc. They did an amazing job and everyone was super pleased! Thank you!!!! read more

Always get the order correct the first time. Fast and friendly service. Definitley recommend to ant one that loves fried Chicken. Taste good. Best fried chicken in thr tri city area. read more

Shot through drive-thru on our way back from the Allergist (11/24/08) to grab a quick taste. We're considering having their food catered for our little guy's first birthday party. MK got the 3 pc. white meat (2 breasts, 1 wing) along with 1/4 lb. of breaded mushrooms. I got the Italian Beef sandwich, no peppers, no cheese. The 3 pc. also comes with two sides, and we got the cheesy potatoes and mac 'n cheese. The cheesy potatoes were not that bad. The mac well, the noodles had just come out of the water and had residual water on them with the cheese. This made the cheese not stick to the noodles very well, but it was okay. Chicken is always good and was right out of the fryer. The beef sandwich is not too bad. It's not portillo's (what is?) but it will do just fine for a party. read more

Yay! Just like childhood. I'm more of a fried chicken connoisseur than before, but Brown's holds up. We actually ordered over the phone in advance, and the person on the phone was pretty friendly. The chicken was crispy and tasty - not dried out with either white or dark meat. The fried mushrooms were on point. Same tasty bites since the 80s. Kids loved the "fritters," which are sort of a corn fritter/hush puppy mashup. Mashed potatoes were flavorful and gravy did its job. So glad to have this throwback back in our lives. Hopefully it'll be consistent, because for fast food its chicken wins against most competitors! read more

Pretty disappointed to order food at the drive thru, pull up to pay and the guy has no mask and no gloves on. We're looking through the window into the restaurant and the guy prepping our food has a mask on, no gloves. He's opening doors and drawers, hands all over our food with absolutely no regard for anything. Our food gets handed to us and we asked for a refund. My Husband tells the guy "you're not wearing gloves or a mask!!' His response? Well, I just took my gloves off. Right! Great customer service, buddy. read more

Picked up this evening, cold fries, mashed potato gravy also. Always liked Brown's but I'm done as of tonight.

Just got lunch from this Browns of 3 chicken tenders, Mac & cheese, and a Pepsi. The chicken was so bad that I literally threw it away, the Mac & cheese would shock me to find out there was any cheese on it, and I'm almost positive that the Pepsi was not actual Pepsi. I will never be coming back and now understand why the restaurant was deserted. read more

This Brown's is the best I've had since living in the south side of Chicago in the early 70's. The chicken is not skimpy,taste is wonderful. I have had Brown's from Schaumbrug, Hoffam Estates, and Carol Stream. They do not compare to the store in St. Charles, Il.! Great service and everything else. It reminds me when Brown's Chicken first came out. I drive a half hour to get it. read more

What can Brown do for you- not cook hot wings. Cant speak for anything but the hot wings and beef and they were both terrible. The beef: chewy, plastic like- meat flavored fruit roll ups dumped in a bun. The hot wings: runt of the litter wings, scraps on a bone. The hot sauce also had a rather bitter taste. Not going back. read more

I was really impressed with the customer service at this restaurant as well as great chicken! Isabel was working at the cash register and was so helpful and friendly. Joe was working in the kitchen and looked very happy to be doing his job. The environment was extremely happy and juicy chicken! Thank you Browns! read more

My main concern to warn people about are the meal combo prices. I was just there Thursday 6/11/15 and realized that the 6 pc 1 large side and 3 biscuit combo is price $1 higher than if you bought each item separately. I notified the manager and I got $1.08 back but I don't believe that he is going to change the sign. Buyer beware! I love fried chicken and have been known to drag my whole family to Hebron to go to Crandall's to satisfy my cravings. So I am glad there is a choice in St. Charles beside KFC. The only thing I enjoy at Browns is the chicken, everything else is not good. read more

The Brown,s Chicken in Saint Charles food and catering services is absolutely outstanding! The manager is simply the best. He and his staff know how to prepare the freshest and most tasteful menu of food ever! They recently catered an event at our residence in Campton Hills for over 150 people. The manager delivered our order on time, set up the food which, was hot and ready to be served immediately. Our guests gave rave reviews and are still talking about how good the food from Brown's Chicken was. The menu we served was baked chicken, fried chicken, Mac n cheese, cole slaw, corn on the cob, and mini pastries for dessert. I don't normally write reviews but, I wanted everyone to know we love Brown's Chicken in Saint Charles on Lincoln Highway!!! read more

Best Chicken restaurant. Great variety of other items as well. The Mushrooms, biscuits, cornfritters and breadsticks are all a great complement to any meal. Weather you want an Italian Beef, Polish, Hot Dog or Meatball this is your place. read more

Browns is nothing special. The atmosphere is horrible, no ones ever there. It look and feels disgusting inside, the employees look unclean, and the food is not to great. I guess it's what you'd expect from a quick-fix chicken shop. Jewel chicken is better. I will not be returning. read more

Brown's has SO many sides. They also have fantastic chicken. Artery clogging, but still good. I love this place, but it's really bad for you, so I recommend going once in a great while read more

Chose this location which is near I work over the one in dundee by where I live due to their dirty location and terrible reviews. I knew my food would get cold in the 45 minutes it took to get home but I didn't mind. I called ahead and the man running the store was kind enough to wait to start fries until I got there so they'd be fresh. Which was perfect because I planned to eat those on the way home to hold me over. The location was clean and he was so polite! I'll definitely come back! read more

Old farmer brown had a restaurant and at that restaurant he had some chicken and pasta-"to the tune of old McDonald had a farm" I will say this in a very simple way...me want browns chicken I love it tasty juicy and the mashed potatoes and pasta delish read more

Finally - Browns is back and open. Being local and driving by it everyday wondering and waiting for it to open has been like a kid at Xmas. Stopped in for lunch and they did not disappoint. Like Brian - got the 3 piece. The biscuits were awesome. The chicken was exactly what I remember and expect from Browns. Hey - one thing that no one talks about but should - the Onion Rings. These are really really good people. The Onion rings were phenomenal. Anyway - see you on Friday's. I am going to make it my standard Friday afternoon - treat myself - lunch of the week. A+ read more
