    3 piece fried chicken combo $12.49.
    Jennifer P.

    So I had Mary Brown's for the first time today, despite going past a Mary Brown's on Dufferin Street in Toronto all the time in my youth on the way to Yorkdale Shopping Centre. In those days (before social media) I never heard any advertising for Mary Brown's and there was no hype. It was also the only Mary Brown's location I ever saw. I didn't know that it was a chain from Newfoundland. And for whatever reason, I was never compelled to try it. Now in 2019, fried chicken is big again and here in Ottawa there was a lot of noise about Mary Brown's coming to Ottawa (returning to Ottawa? Rumour has it there was a Mary Brown's here once upon a time but then it closed? It was in Barrhaven? I don't know. Can anyone confirm?), so obviously I had to check it out! This location out by the Coliseum movie theatre opened at the beginning of March 2019 (the one at the Kanata Centrum opened January 2019). I was expecting a lineup since I heard the Kanata one has huge lineups, but at 6:45pm on a Wednesday it was super quiet. I was served right away. I got the 3 piece fried chicken combo for my husband. It came with taters (potato wedges), a small coleslaw and a can of pop for $12.49. I got a Chicken Pop-ins (popcorn chicken) combo for myself. It came with taters and a can of pop for $9.79. I loved the Chicken Pop-ins. They were mostly meat with just a bit of batter/breading. And it was all lean breast meat too! I'm a fan. I got the Maple Chili dipping sauce and I really liked it. It was a bit sweet and a bit spicy. I wasn't a huge fan of the taters. Some pieces were ok, but some I found were really mealy/starchy/powdery tasting (the bigger and thicker wedges). I had some of the fried chicken and it was good. The skin was crispy and yes it was oily/greasy, but not dripping with fat in a gross way. The seasoning on the fried chicken, Chicken Pop-ins and taters seem to be all the same to me. The seasoning was a bit on the bland side in terms of flavour, but there was adequate salt, just the flavour profile was blah IMO. The dipping sauces definitely helped, especially the Maple Chili since it gave a spicy kick. Service was friendly and quick. The restaurant is new and looks very clean. There are not that many seats to eat in, but everyone who came in while I was there was getting takeout. There's lots of free parking in the complex. I got a link to a feedback survey on my receipt. I did the survey and got a code. So if I bring back my receipt with the code written on it within 60 days, I get 15% off my next purchase. I guess I'll have to come back to try either the Buffalo Chicken Tenders or the Thai Chicken Pop-ins - twist my arm! Lol ;)

    We were heading over to the Coliseum to see a movie and needed a meal before our movie, and honestly I had never heard of Mary Brown's before...I was pleasantly surprised! I ordered the Big Mary Chicken Burger, and upgraded my taters to a poutine. The burger was a little disappointing at first, definitely smaller than expected, but the taste of the chicken made up for it. I chose the spicy mayo which worked well, and the chicken was moist and flavorful. I would place it right up there with my usual favorite - Wendy's Spicy Chicken Sandwich. The poutine, for choosing the small, was huge and tasted great. Gravy had a good taste without being too salty, and the taters had a coating on them that was pretty yummy. The meal was a little pricey, $10.50 plus the $3 poutine upgrade, but I would mind coming back every now and then. Overall, very good experience when I had no intention to go there in the first place :)

Ok, by now maybe you know that Mary Browns is a chain our of Newfoundland, so I had to try this at least once. I never ever eat breaded and friend chicken; honestly, KFC is good enough! What can I say? I was hungry!! But I love Newfoundland, and I want to know how this compares!! Also to note: there was a lot of staff behind the counter, so things seemed to move fairly quickly. Oh and I saved something for next time: they have introduced banana pudding!! Sorry for the drool marks on this review... Two meal deals included drinks and coleslaw for, $28.00. I will update my review after I taste all this for the first time. My stomach is sincerely grumbling!! UPDATE: oh man, was this ever good! The chicken was juicy and tender, the coating was perfect! The fries were wedgies and already coated and flavoured, so we didn't add salt or ketchup. The coleslaw was so good that all they needed to do was give bigger portions! Delish!! Definitely deserves a 5-star!! Will return. Also fixed the spelling. Predictive text, my keister!

Considering it was a Sunday, I found that to be quite impressive and a testament to the restaurant. The food was piping hot. So hot I couldn't even bite into it for fear of burning my mouth! I took the time to enjoy the fries which were quite enjoyable - crunchy and tasty. Also, in comparison to other restaurants... the chicken pieces were HUGE! You're very much getting your money's worth in that regards. When it had finally cooled down enough to eat... it was good. It didn't live up to the hype I was given before going in, but it was definitely enjoyable. The fried covering was crunchy and very tasty without it being overly oily. The coleslaw was different than what I've tasted before but after an intriguing first few bites found myself happily digging in. The biscuits were perfect: harder shell with a wonderful hot and soft interior :) I look forward to another visit to compare against this first visit.

They claim the chickens are no longer Halal method because the major arteries are no longer cut and the blood drained, which is required for being certified Halal. They claim most of their customers are Islams and they are losing them causing financial harm. The last time I was there the claim seemed to be true as I noticed the blood vessels in the dark meet were indeed full of blood and the taste had changed, not in a good way. I'm not saying it's not safe to eat as it is well cooked but I did notice the centre of the leg was all red and the taste was different from the outside. My solution: I bought an air fryer and some hot sauce. It's a shame as I loved their chicken before they changed. Mr. Wontbe Back

The only trash bin was overflowing and the bathroom lacked toilet paper. It's better to do takeout but we decided to eat there. We went for the family combo with the $6 drink upgrade. We were too hungry so I didn't get to snap picks before everyone already started eating . We were 4 people and there was enough left over for another person. We took the really creamy mac'n cheese and the rice and beans as sides. The mac was a bit runny but very satisfying and the rice was added on top of the cooked beans.

The chicken sandwiches and biscuits were hot and fresh. It's a very thick piece of yummy white breast, with a clean crunchy breading. Not overly spicy and thankfully less sauce than other places. Compared to Mary Brown's there is less seasoning but it is thicker and crunchier. $5.99 is a good deal these days. The biscuits were excellent and made a nice side for only 99 cents each. I would avoid the Mac and Cheese - it was very soupy, little noodles or cheese. Ripoff for $2.29 even if they would have filled the pathetically small container.
