Excellent fried chicken!!!! Had the chicken sandwich with fries!! Yummy!! Place is nothing to look at but when you do chicken this good, who cares??!!!! read more

Lousy, lousy, lousy. Chicken wings to go. Bagged up the oldest, stalest, and most flavorless they had sitting out. Why not? They might not see me again. And they were right. read more

Hands down Maryland Fried Chicken is the best around Indian River and St Lucie County. The chicken parts look like chicken instead of small turkey parts which says a lot about their sourcing. The only negative...it needs a thorough cleaning top to bottom at the end of every day. The service is prompt and friendly. My once a month fried chicken fix. Delicious! read more

Update Back to good fast food! This place brings back great memories and good foods. People very nice there and surprisingly fast for hot food. Vero's hidden joy read more

I stumbled upon this chicken joint after a local insider raved about it, claiming it served up the most finger-licking fried chicken in town. Being just a stone's throw away, I couldn't resist putting their claim to the test. Located on the east side of US one, right smack in the east-northeast of the curve, this joint caught my eye with its former KFC/Burger King/Taco Bell vibes. Not a car in sight at the drive-through, though, so who knows if they even have one? Stepping inside, I was greeted by a bustling crowd of about eight people waiting in line. Part of me considered bailing, but the tantalizing aroma of the chicken kept me rooted. The service was a mix of sluggishness and swiftness, probably because they had to whip up a fresh batch of chicken. When my turn finally came, it took less than two minutes to place my order and get my grub. Can't say that's slow; it was practically lightning-fast. One thing I noticed is that they do a roaring takeout business, more than dine-in. The joint itself has seen better days, but what about the food? I opted for the three-piece meal, featuring a succulent breast, a tantalizing thigh, and a scrumptious chicken wing. I also went for the classic combo of baked beans and mashed potatoes with gravy as my sides. First up was the thigh. With just one bite, my taste buds went wild with sheer deliciousness. It was piping hot, incredibly moist, and bursting with flavor. After polishing it off, I seriously contemplated ordering another ten. Next on the menu was the chicken wing. I wouldn't say this is the place to go for wings, but they were decent enough. And then it was time for the grand finale: the breast. Ah, there's nothing quite like sinking your teeth into a plump, juicy breast. As I reached for it, though, it was so scorching hot that it singed my fingers. But the moment I sank my teeth into it, my mouth was flooded with an explosion of savory juices. It remained juicy and piping hot till the very last bite. These breasts were no small fry; they were delightfully plump. The breading on the chicken was crispy and delectable, but as with any fried chicken, it left behind a bit of greasy residue. I must say, they outshine KFC, Popeyes, and any other fast food chicken joint. So, would I recommend you give it a go? Absolutely, but be prepared to exercise some patience. read more

Only Fried Chicken we eat! Been coming here since it first opened and are never disappointed. We have taken their coleslaw to other establishments to try to get the to replicate it. The hush puppies are perfection and the fried chicken livers fabulous. Do stop on in..... Christmas Eve will be a treat. Bon appetite read more

No contest; this is the best fried chicken I have had since growing up in Kentucky where the Greyhound Grill is the gold standard. Nothing fancy about Maryland Fried Chicken but the service is friendly and the chicken crisp and perfectly prepared. Don't miss this unassuming but iconic eatery. read more

It had been over 30 years since I have eaten at Maryland fried Chicken, but that drought was about to end. Is the chicken as good as I remember it? Did they fool with the recipe? Will I be sadly disappointed at the fowl of my youth? I was not. I ordered the two breast with two sides meal and tore that up like I had not eaten in a week. The chicken was juicy. The skin was crispy. It was everything I had remembered it to be. In a world of unending change, it seems, it's amazing what food can do for the soul. No masks required but are encouraged. Stay safe. read more

I just don't get it! What is wrong with this place. Came in hungry on a Sunday after working in my yard all day. 1. Total crap attitude from counter people. 2. Took over 30 mins . 3 it sucked !!! Please someone knock this place down and start again. read more

This Has to be the worst chicken I've ever had in my life, it was so greasy that it made my stomach turn when I took my first bite I guess maybe the new ownership has changed the recipe because it sure was terrible. I'm not one to bitch but my girlfriend was so upset at the greasy chicken. I hope you guys can get this right in the future because right now we will never ever come back in your establishment. read more

Stopped there for the first time to get a bucket of chicken. I brought it home directly to feed my family and found it very dry and cold. Not at all what I expected. I don't know if it had been sitting all day or a couple of days. Very disappointing. Just tasted like it had been sitting, threw away most of it. read more

So, once again I ordered a leg and a breast 2 pc chicken dinner today. After waiting inline and watching the lazy, slow, staff take and prepare orders, it's no surprise that I get a thigh and a breast..... don't know why I even go here anymore. Shame on whoever is managing this place for not lighting a fire under you employers asses... read more

C'mon Maryland Fried Chicken 25 minute wait as I watched boxes of chicken pass me by waiting for a quart of Macaroni Salad??? It already prepared and should have been a in and out process. Paid for order at 2:13pm on 6-5-2021 You got to get better read more

Dirty. Disgusting. Fried chicken tasted fishy and was dripping with grease. Very gross.

I found the equivalent to my hometown fried chicken joint in Vero. I'm so happy and it's so good. I went in just after 12 noon. Even though there was a short line service was fast and my food was fresh. My lunch was right out of the grease and the hot sauce tastes like Red Devil. Fried chicken is my all time favorite food but I know I can't eat it daily. Did I mention they have homemade banana pudding? I will be back. read more

The chicken is great and inexpensive no-frills just order at the counter And they will make it fresh for you I love it .

WOW!! Awesome chicken. Everyone here recommended this place so I had to give it a try. Doesn't look like much from the outside, or the inside but the food was great. Two young ladies were running the counter and they were very nice and quick about their business. After ordering it took about 5 minutes for our order to come up. The chicken was really good, had great flavor but don't expect hot chicken. One thing I didn't like was the size of their sides. Very small, I could have easily have eaten three times the portion. As far as ambiance goes, well, place is really drab to eat in. The concept is really just take out. It wasn't dirty like some have said but it showed signs of age and nothing fancy about it at all. read more

I grew up in Melbourne and played for the Maryland fried chicken baseball team in elementary school. Chicken, mash taste a bit better than I remember. My only complaint would be the lady behind the register. I asked her if she ate the fried rice, without looking at me she said a lot of people but it. I asked her again, do you eat the fried rice. Again without looking at me she said, a lot of people order it. Very unfriendly, I would trust her opinion. She had the middle of hey nose pierced. Everyone else working tonight was very pleasant. Unfortunate read more

Used to work here for a long time, I always went above and beyond to bring the best customer service, a clean restaurant atmosphere and delicious food to all customers at the register. The new owners are very disturbing. I have watched gross unsanitary hazards go on in the kitchen and the language they used with me was horrible. The quality of the food they are now selling is awful. It used to smell sooo good there, now it smells like a dumpster wash. Please choose somewhere more sanitary, inside and outside. read more

This has to be one of thee best fried chicken spots I've ever ever been to! 38 slap your mamma good and the service is excellent

Good food pretty decent prices. The tenders are huge so beware. If you order the 4 piece be ready for a stuffed belly or leftovers.

Love the food, but restaurant needs a good deep cleaning. Really gross. Literally waiting not wanting to touch anything especially the payment ATM card reader. Digit buttons were filthy. read more

We were in Vero visiting family, and as soon as I passed Maryland Fried Chicken I wanted to go there one night for dinner. It is​ a nostalgia​ thing as I grew up in Central Flordia. The chicken was as good chain fried chicken as you can get. The service was fast and courteous. True, the dining room is dated but people should go here for the food not the atmosphere. read more

Small town favorite here! I had chicken, okra, collards, coleslaw, gizzards, livers and a slushie lol. I'd give it all a 4/5. I'd come back ... just hope that they throw a little more seasoning on that chicken soon lol read more

This some gooood down home food! The chicken was perfect, the sides were slammin' and the service was great. Only complaint was their "dinner roll" was like senior home quality bread. Keep the chicken coming, but heat up them rolls. read more

The chicken is very tender and moist. I have tried most of their sides and they are all good. You can't beat them for a great meal.

They have the best chicken in the area hands down! Crispy skin and their claim strips are good too!

Friendly fast service. The chicken breasts are small when compared to Publix or Popeyes. The side portions are amall. Ate inside and it smells old. They need to update the place. The prices are high. The fries were good. read more

The coleslaw is the best, and the chicken is good too. BUT after our last visit I vowed that would be my last. The service (and I use that term loosely) is not only slow but downright RUDE. I won't spend any more of my $ there again. It's dirty and no one follows basic sanitation procedures, either. No thanks. read more
