Hathaway's is an amazing business, with friendly staff and DELICIOUS food. Everything I have tried there has been amazing with the exception of the cake. It was really dry and when I say dry I'm talk California wildfire dry. But the rest is amazing the Mac and cheese being my favorite. It gives southern grandma's a run for their money. Overall a pretty great experience. read more

Southern fried chicken that is cooked the way it's supposed to be. Great southern style biscuits as well.

Love Hathaway's! I've been eating here since I was a kid. Ownership has changed hands a few times since then though. The potato wedges don't seem as great as they use to be, but still good. When you call in an order ahead of time you still end up waiting at least 15+ minutes once you get there, never fails. Food is great though so it's worth the wait! read more

Loveeeeeeee me some Hathaways! I grew up on this food! Always good and the service is always good! I could never complain.... you won't be disappointed if u came here to eat, trust me! read more

My husband and I decided to do a kitchen vacay this weekend so we had to find NEW places to eat for every meal. This was dinner Saturday night. He ordered the 2pc dark meat meal and a homemade chocolate piece of cake (he claims it was his side). I got the 2pc white meat with 2 sides - coleslaw and potato wedges. Man was it good. Chicken was tender and juicy, biscuits were buttery and yummy, and the wedges were tender but super crispy. Tea was "southern sweet" and brewed. This is southern style fried chicken....not your Cajun or spicy. Delicious. read more

Hathaway's Chicken N Biscuits - 2 PC white meat dinner with 2 sides. Mmmmm - Desserts Near Me - Monroe, North Carolina

Great fried chicken. For the price a better option than the chain fried chicken places. I took off a star because I wasn't excited about the banana pudding. The chicken however is great! read more

I found the chicken and fries to be pretty good, but Hathaway's appears very run-down. It was a little scary since I wasn't sure if their kitchen matched. We ate in, the chicken and fries were good. I noticed in the Union County Weekly, Nov 23, 2012, they were listed under 'worst scores' given by the Union County Health Dept. The violations included were: hand washing needed between handling raw and ready-to-eat food, eggs need to be separated from ready-to-eat food, food not kept at a safe temperature, & general cleaning needed. Hathaway's received a final score of 94.5. Hopefully, they'll be changing some of their practices and better clean to increase that score to ensure safe eating. read more

Awesome food, hot and tasty. The staff are very polite and the food was reasonably priced. I highly recommend! read more

Staple of union county..good enough to make popeyes go away when they opened next door...always fresh and load up on sides we love them all

I am not exactly a expert on fried chicken. I don't eat it often and Hathaways reminds me why. This is whatvfried chicken is supposed to taste like. Crispy on the outside, moist on the inside. My guess is that a pressure cooker was used. It was so good. The biscuit too was good. My side was mashed pitatoes and gravy. The gravy added to the to the ok potatoes which I loved! I will be back!! read more

As the name suggests, Hathaway's Chicken N Biscuits serves up fried chicken, biscuits, and various sides. The food tastes great and the prices are fair, but as a few others have mentioned, the service is unfriendly. As is unfortunately the case with many restaurants in the South, Hathaway's also feels the need to proselytize with Bible verses on their walls. FOOD The food tastes very good. Hathaway's does and excellent job seasoning their chicken, battering it with just enough batter, and then frying it to a juicy perfection. The biscuits have a crispy outside and chewy inside- just how I like them. The sides are all fairly standard, but the potato wedges, which I normally dislike, are really stand out. It looks like Hathaway's dunked the potato wedges in batter before frying them. Yum! PRICES The prices are overall very fair. Expect to pay $8-$10 for three pieces of chicken and two sides. Nothing more to really say here. One small nit pick is that plastic spoons and forks, as well as napkins are all behind the counter, and when the food is served, you only get two napkins per person. I felt like I was being served in an East German restaurant. SERVICE Rude, rude, rude, RUDE. The staff is very cold and unwelcoming. I felt like my presence was not wanted at Hathaway's. I will never understand why restaurants employ people like this. Greet your customers, smile, act like you care. It's not that hard. Overall, Hathaway's is excellent: their food is on point and the prices are appropriate. But, the place really need to do something about the service. read more

We came across this place by accident, but I am glad we did!! You get so much food. The fried chicken was delicious and more than enough. The Mac and cheese was yummy. Potato wedges were my favorite side (crispy!!!). Oh and the biscuit...buttery melt in your mouth goodness! You should ABSOLUTELY go here! read more

The owner is really nice and helpful! The chicken is delicious, and the biscuits even better. The funnel cake is great to split between all the kids. This is our first time eating here and we will definitely be back again. Also very clean on the inside. Like the other person said, don't be fooled by the outside. read more

Best chicken in NC. Love going to Hathaways. Always cooked perfectly. The seasonings they use on chicken are yummy. The sides are ok, nothing to write home about but who needs sides when the chicken is this good. Many times the owner is there when we visit. Good people & we love visiting with. Definitely worth stopping. I try to always stop by when I'm in the area, especially now that I live in SC. Miss getting it more often read more

Stopped by on Mothers Day to try the fried chicken, potatoe wedges and mac and cheese. It was good and service was excellent even with the crowd waiting! I will come back again for sure! read more

Today i went and order chicken wings and gizzards and my gizzards was soured and half cooked I never got bad food from there before and the girls at front always read more

This is my second experience within the last month in which the staff was extremely rude. I called my order in about 30 minutes ahead of time and still had to wait 20 to 30 minutes when I got there as some have already noted as well in their reviews. Some people received their orders before me even though they made their order once they got there. I drive in from Huntersville on my way to see my dad in South Carolina, and it's been very frustrating to wait unnecessarily. In addition, one of the girls (who appear to be Hispanic with long hair, larger build, and short) who works there has been nasty each and every time. She makes it a point to acknowledge her frustration to the other staff members in your face. It's extremely unprofessional and not very service driven. I called back today and spoke with Brooke, and I hoped the manager would take heed of this and deal with the staff members. Brian actually called me today and made EXCUSES for everything from it was Father's Day, she was tired, you should expect this or that. In addition, when asking about or requesting sauces, she acts like you're asking for her personal liver. If a sauce cost $.25, it's no problem. Just ring me up for it! I don't have $.25 problems! But don't act like I can't afford it or I don't want it because you're saying it costs. I truly believe with this type of customer service it will greatly impact what a great staple Hathaways have been in Union County. I grew up there and never remembered this type of service until now! TAKE HEAD MY UNION CO PEOPLE. HE WANTS OUR MONEY NOT TO TRULY SERVE US. Believe that! Do better Brian! read more

Honestly if I'm being honest , this used to be my favorite restaurant in Monroe,but after my Daddy got deathly ill threw up many times after his meal not so much,I reported this to Hathways and they honestly didn't give a shit didn't even have respect to respond ,needless to say my Daddy died shortly after, It's terrible whenever you pay restaurant's your hard earned money and in the end they could honestly care less if you live or die.I was charged like $3.00 for a hard piece of cake,yet again I complained I had to throw it out,and damn near knocked my poor Kitty unconscious with it! Again no apologies from Hathways Chicken for the past four time's wayyy overcooked.On a positive note I love the radio station K 104.7!But at the end of the day I'd change the way they treat their paying customers, My entire family have been faithful customers twenty plus year's read more

Awesome fried chicken and cole slaw and Mac and cheese! These guys should be on DDD! Service good and friendly! Better come with empty bellies! read more

none of these reviews are what we had. tasteless mashed potatoes, tasteless gravy and dried up over done chicken . family of 5, nobody wants it. not even the coleslaw. however the tea was great! read more

Great service, clean, sides that tasted great and some pretty good chicken. There were plenty of tasty sounding options I did not try to include liver and gizzards, and Banana pudding. While we were there, it was. It was obvious that they have a local following. I was just passing through. If I was local, I'd be back to try more! read more

Hands down some of the best fried chicken I've ever had. A little greasy, but as it should be. Friendly people and great service.

Yum! We enjoyed the fried chicken family dinner special and the boneless wings. Generous portions and the wedges & slaw were as yummy as described. Boneless were my fav - so tender!! Prices were very good and we will definitely be back for more! We over ordered didn't have room for the beans we ordered. read more

As far as we are concerned. When it is done right, this is the best fried chicken place on the planet. OMG! So addictive. And the biscuits with the tiny molten pieces of butter spread all through out the dough as it comes to you piping out as if it just got pulled out of the oven. And the potato wedges are very good as well. Love it! read more

This place is a big deal in the area. Wasn't up there like Price's (IMO) and wasn't terrible enough to not try again. I would visit again if I was in the area. Fried chicken, chicken livers, gizzards and potato wedges could all use a bit of seasoning. The texture was there and nothing was too greasy. read more

Had some fried chicken, a few sides, hot wings and wedges to go. My family wasn't very impressed, though I will say that the hot wings were decent. Wedges were very disappointing (bought a tub) and all just soggy. Chicken tasted close to KFC's but less salty and not as flavorful. The service was just..okay. The older lady did not seem very pleasant and never once smiled or greeted anyone ahead or after we ordered. It felt as if being a customer was an inconvenience. We tried this place out to support small businesses, but in this case, we will prefer to stick to KFC or Bojangles instead. read more

I have been coming to Hathaways Since the original owners were here. Whereas the food is still good,the service,lack of detail(missing items) and overall courtesy has declined considerably. Several times i try to save time calling in orders and still have to wait 15-20 minutes after arriving. Staff needs an overhaul,slow and unfriendly. Get better people...!!! read more

We LOVE this place! We don't get a chance to come by here often but when we do we fall in love all over again! The chicken is seasoned to perfection, the potatoes are awesome and the PRICES! I don't know how they pay the bills with prices like those! My husband really likes the Pac-Man machine in the waiting area and I love how friendly the staff is. read more

Best chicken around. Plus gizzards and hearts! Everything here is old fashion good! Highly recommend it!

I stopped by this little spot when I had a errand that took me to this side of town. Walking in I was immediately greeted by a energetic lady who was very warm and welcoming. I ordered some wings just to get a taste of the place along with some sides. The potato wedges were really good. . .( i normally dont eat wedges like that)..green beans seemed a little too fresh out the can but could have used a little more seasoning (ham hock maybe?) Mac and cheese was just okay. Now the wings on the other hand were really tasty and crispy. If Im in the mood for fried chicken and Im in Monroe then Ill def. stop by. :) read more

I've eaten in the restaurant, and have had take-out on three separate occasions. I'm sorry, because as much as I want to love this place, it just isn't my idea of good fried chicken. Their tater wedges aren't bad, but the rest is pretty unremarkable. :'( read more

The chicken here is the bomb! Not greasy, super flavorful, and incredibly juicy! Mac n cheese is like going to your mamas or grandmothers and eating on a Sunday! Everything is wonderful here! read more

These were the best gizzards I have ever eaten.....how they get them so tender IDK but even my 1 yr old could eat them. The chicken was yummy very crispy and moist. Biscuits were a little salty but were wonderfully fluffy. The sides were just ok the green beans needed serious seasoning and the mac and cheese was bland as well. read more

I haven't been here in several months. I love this place and was craving it so I stopped for a late lunch. The chicken was way over cooked, and the biscuits were over cooked also. Those are their staple foods, they can't be messed up! The taters were great as always, the service was good as well, however the food just wasn't up to par today. Hopefully this was just an off day because I really like this place. read more

I love this place! I've been going here over 25 years and the chicken and potato wedges (taters) are the best that I have had. When I get a craving for chicken I have to have Hathaway's. It's worth the drive even now that I live in Indian Trail. read more

Hathaway's is a Monroe institution, seeming to have been there forever. It's basic fried chicken with generous servings of sides. I prefer this place to any of the chain chicken places, so if I want fried chicken, this is where I go. The décor (if you can call it that) appears to have changed very little over the years, and that's OK. The only side item that I do NOT like is the baked beans. They are flavorless and taste like pork n beans from a can. read more

Cute locally owned place amidst all the strip mall schlock (chain restaurants). I'm a vegetarian (my boyfriend wanted to eat here) but they do have sides. I got a biscuit, a side of Mac n Cheese and a side mashed potatoes (reminded me of being back home in the Midwest!) The biscuit was so DELICIOUS! However, I personally didn't care for the Mac n cheese (tasted egg-y and was somewhat bland). The potatoes and gravy were fine, if not a bit salty. My boyfriend had "business men" fried chicken, a biscuit and fried corn on the cobb and he loved it. I would support this place over the major chains. read more

I love this little hometown favorite. It serves up quality chicken and biscuits that I love to pick up for lunch time at work. They also have southern dishes that you can't find just anywhere such as livers and gizzards. I love that you can build your own meal if you want because they sell chicken by the piece as well. They have old school arcade games such as mr. PAC man which is also a fun addition. My favorite thing to get here is the tater wedges they are to die for and I haven't met another place that can even compare. Their staff is also friendly and even during the Sunday rush they find a way to get food out fast and efficiently. read more

Best home fried chicken in town! Potatoes wedges are the best ever
