The best tasting fried chicken in madera with a very affordable price! The lunch box deals are the best!

I have a tendency to eat fast food, quick service and convenience are priorities. While passing through Madera I stumbled upon Fastway and decided to give it a try. No line and quick, polite service was a plus. Ordered the two piece chicken which came with a potato log and roll. The chicken was a bit oily but the flavor was okay. Definitely not the most flavorful I've had and probably won't be back for the chicken. It was bland and underwhelming. The potato log is an oversized potato wedge. The inside was soft and piping hot. I would've preferred the outside to have more crisp but overall the potato log was acceptable. I did finish it. The roll was nice and soft but also could've used more flavor. They had a variety of other items available on the menu from corn dogs to chimichangas. I might be back to try something else if I'm in the area. Nothing to write home about but It's a cute little establishment and I can see why locals frequent the place. read more

Fastway Fried Chicken - Potato log - Chicken Wings Near Me - Madera, California

Extremely disappointing. The chicken was dry and tasteless... I was told and read reviews that at one time this was the spot to go to for fried chicken. I should have noticed that most of those reviews that were posted giving this place Kudos were over a year old, some even longer. The original owner had died and sadly, the quality of his food died with him. read more

Its a small spot but great chicken. I do recommend it. It was great for the price as they recommended the offer they had.

Best Fried Chicken In town, better than KFC. Service is always fast and nice. Food is out on display so you can choose what you want.

Always great service from Maria. Somehow, I was able to beat the crowd because as soon as I paid and turned around, there was a line out the door. There is a variety of combos to choose from, as well as several cold cases to grab a drink and other hot food items in the hot case on the counter. Best chicken and potato logs around. read more

Fastway Fried Chicken - 4 piece snack box, two logs, and bread rolls. Fastway is a Madera tradition with the best chicken, hands down. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Madera, California

I get yall like the chicken from here and burritos but yall take a closer look next time, there was a whole dead mouse or rat on a trap by that icee machine. also there's a young girl with black hair and glasses who was rude to my grandma and rushed her so quick out the store when it was still 30 min before closing time. Maybe get better workers who aren't lazy and rude. this was my family's spot but after that rat. Hard pass read more

Service was immaculate very helpful and kind! Food fresh and hot as always. Very respectful and greets those who come in the store!

Went the other day food was very good. Continue to turn it over as far as hot ready to go. Chicken was very tasty. Would recommend this to family and friends. read more

Best Local mom and pop place to get chicken in town that's not a big chain restaurant. They have been around since before I was born. I've always enjoyed their potato logs, things are huge and they never changed them since I could remember. read more

Best place for fried chicken! Always loved going there a kid. They have good fried chicken, potato logs, fried burritos, tamales. Yummy! read more

Really good food at affordable prices. Stopped by to get some burritos and potatoe logs which were really tasty. Due to COVID-19 only 3 people are allowed inside at a time to order. Overall great service and food. read more

Just had my first, and not last, experience! Fantastic! Absolutely love their chicken! Great chicken! Great flavor! Potato logs are incredibly flavorful! Oh and via Door Dash...quick! And it was still hot! read more

Every time I get their chicken, it is always delicious. I usually order two packs and save one for next day.

Under this new ownership the food is not the same the potatoes logs were great but now greasy not crispy soft Chester's are better

I had a hunger for some fried chicken but wanted to try some that wasn't supermarket, KFC or Popeyes here in Fresno. Saw the reviews on Fastway chicken & decided to take the drive to Madera and give them a shot. Big, big mistake. Some of the worst, bland and greasy fried chicken I've not had the pleasure to eat. Called the "best fried chicken in Madera". Maderans must have very low expectations. I bought a Monday special, 3 PC's, 2 wedge potatoes a roll and a 32oz drink. I added an extra breast to the order. Price was fair. I ate a breast + wing & 2 wedge potatoes. Tried to down a thigh but couldn't take anymore. Ended up tossing a breast and the thigh out and my stomach has been gurgling all afternoon. The service was quick and staff friendly but I can't recommend the food. YUCK, GAG read more

I'm not sure if it's nostalgia, but I remember this place being way better. The chicken was okay but super oily and I just didn't like the potato logs. read more

This place caught my eye about a month ago while I drove passed it to take my son get a haircut in Madera . Today I decided to drive from My home in Kerman to give it a try and I didn't regret it , it was delicious. My wife and son also loved it . We ordered the family meal which included the 8 piece fried chicken and potato logs . I also ordered a side of cheesy logs . Next time I'll try some of the other stuff they have . Everything was mouth watering delicious. I'll definitely be back again . read more

I only always order potato logs but every single time they are always hard and taste undercooked

Doesn't look like much as he passed bye. I noticed a line outside the door so I stopped The chicken is good they also have bean and beef burritos and potato logs reasonable prices juicy chicken definitely stop by again read more

Don't let the shoddy, run-down, abandoned-convenience-store-looking exterior fool you: that shabby façade serves up the best fried chicken within 20 miles. Add that their potato wedges are perfectly cooked and splendidly soft, and the price is very family-friendly, and you've got yourself a veritable I-need-this-on-a-regular-basis kind of place, whether you're feeding one or one family or one neighborhood. read more

I love this place. Their super affordable for a huge variety of food. I had a steak and cheese chimichanga and a raspberry cheesecake mini chimi. Both were really good. read more

M mom's from Oklahoma and her fried chicken is AMAZING. This chicken was fair to middlin'. Way too salty. Like way, way too salty. I am salt sensitive, so maybe you might not think so. It was hot and crunchy. Very meaty pieces of chicken. The potato wedges and the potato salad were good. The rolls were super good!!! read more

Good service clean it reminds me The business we had back in the days when you were kids

this place Prices are great..!!! Great to feed a gathering of many Fried chicken is yum yum read more

Way over hyped. Very nice people, but the chicken is average at best. The store could use a good clean up too.

The chicken is good not finna lie but the time your in line is pretty long not a big fan of the potato wedges though .

I was referred here by a friend as being the best fried chicken, better then KFC. Well this place by no means is better then KFC nor does it have good fried chicken. the chicken was cold and very greasy. I would not recommend this place. read more

I have no clue how this place gets 4 stars. Tried it based on the reviews, what a mistake. Waited 25 minutes to get the pieces for the meals we ordered. The chicken is bland and dry with soggy breading. The potato wedges were also dry and bland. The cole slaw tasted and smelled spoiled. I didn't even finish it. Go to KFC instead. read more

You cannot beat the fried chicken here or the potato logs. Love this joint. Has been around for about 50 yrs or so. Prices are extremely reasonable. They have their family pack and it comes with really soft rolls. They have other things like rolled tacos, BBQ chicken, egg rolls, slushies and etc. This place is the old fashioned food that you might be looking for. read more

Still one of my favorite places to grab something to eat. The food was freshly fried. & DELICIOUS. Too bad they take forever! It took over 1/2 hour to get out of there. With only 3 customers in front of me. read more

I went here because of the reviews. Here's what the other reviews aren't telling you. The inside as you walk through the door reeks like Raid or some other bug spray. Then you wait to place your order for 10 minutes even though there's NOONE in front of you in line. Then you realize there are flies literally EVERYWHERE. In the 10 minutes you stand in line a fly lands on you like 20 times. Then the guy from the back comes with more chicken and flings it into a huge plexiglass case that already has tens of pounds of fried chicken in it. You leave without ordering just as the lady is finally going to take your order. read more

Best chicken in Madera hands down. More meat than KFC and a much better price. We order the 20 piece with potato logs and buns for around $30. That is over $45 at KFC. Order early because they get busy around dinner time. read more

Cue the sounds and smells of my childhood. I grew up on fast way chicken and potato logs. God I crave fast way chicken sometimes. If you genuinely grew up in Madera then you have been there at least once. The food is hot and fresh. Small business deserves our patronage. Give them a chance.. It's an old school deli that is still operating in classic selling skills give them a chance. read more

Good chicken take out only beats kfc hands down not to greasy good prices and it's fresh the cops eat there.
