What in the world happened to Mary Brown's Chicken? They used to be good and my favourite Canadian fried chicken. I know this for a fact since I have been a long-time customer and have tried Mary Brown's chicken from different locations ranging from Scarborough, North York, Vaughan and even in Newfoundland. I tried their Batter's Box in the new downtown Toronto location. I was dismayed and shocked of how their food quality went downhill. The chicken was so dry but at the same time it was greasy. I also find it less flavourful and less seasoned than before. And their taters which was my absolute fave (even though I'm not fond of fries) was now a dry and tasteless piece of crap. The crispy potatoes that i used to love is now a thing of the past. Don't even get me started on their biscuits - which is hard as a rock and tasted sweet and not savoury. So is this a location specific quality? If I go to another Mary Brown's location will I have a better experience? This is so disappointing since I'd rather patronize Canadian businesses vs their American chain counterparts. But if this is an ongoing food quality decline then I'd rather not return to this establishment.

Grand opening for Canadian fried chicken!

Did you know Mary Brown's is Canadian and started in Newfoundland? I only learned this fun fact today! I was walking along Spadina and the balloons caught my attention. Grand opening with free lunches for the first 100 people! The spicy chicken sandwich was tender and juicy. I liked the heat! I'm not usually a fan of wedges but to my surprise, I thoroughly enjoyed the coating on these! They have a take out window which will open later along the Spadina side. The main entrance is facing Richmond. Seating both indoors and outdoors. A few more tidbits of information I'd like to share: all of the chicken is fresh and not frozen. They cut their chicken into 8 pieces, not 12 like some other places. They serve cans and bottles of beverages, they don't have fountain drinks. Today they put their best foot forward to show customers what to expect. Good luck and I wish you long term success! Elbows up!

I tried all three chicken burger flavors and they all came out crispy and delicious! The only fault…read moreI could find was that the sichuan flavor could've been stronger. amazing service at the counter, she took the time to explain the menu. I can't wait to go back to try the ube banana flavor.

Overall, my experience was alright. Nothing screamed out "Oh I have to go again!" or "let me tell…read moresomeone about this!". The piece of chicken on my sandwich was a rather peculiar piece in terms of its shape. It did not provide an enjoyable eating experience. When I took my first bite, after figuring out which would be an easy bite, a piece of chicken fell out which made me realize it was two separate pieces of chicken inbetween two buns. It got rather messy after having to pick up the fallen pieces. Other than that, it was flavorful but wasn't the best I've had. I prefer Dave's Hot Chicken over this. My fries were pretty salty. If given the option, I would have requested lightly salted or no salt at all. Space was small but understandable as it seemed to be a carry-out spot. Customer service wasn't quite all that. The girl took our order and that was it. Not much of a greeting nor farewell/thanks for coming. We didn't receive a follow-up during our meal to see if we may needed anything. I would have benefited from extra napkins. My friend enjoyed his meal. He stated it was a good meal but he wouldn't go out of his way to get this. He would have preferred to uber-eats it if he lived here. What made me want to go was the name. My last name is the same as the restaurant name so I figured give it a go! Also saw positive reviews on TikTok.
