People ONLY patronize this place because the food remains so affordable....but answer this question for me, then, and you should have your answer on whether or not you should experience this particular restaurant or not: How many chicken joints have you been to where you can't even smell the aroma of the food right outside of the restaurant?! I'll wait.... The signs are ALL there if you but take the time to look: *Unseasoned food which has NO real aroma (or flavor) to it. *Long lines of cars kept waiting for SEVERAL minutes outside in the drive-thru no matter what time of day that they'll arrive to place an order; there's ALWAYS a wait!!!!!!!!!!!! *Employees handling your food withOUT protective gear on!!!!!!!! I've only got three words for THIS place: No. Thank. You! read more

Best fried chicken wings and Potato Wedges of anywhere (IMO). Oh and can't forget the special hot sauce, that's the clincher. But seeing that I'm from NC. I could be biased. Unfortunately, customer service sucks. Hence the loss of a star. I wish this chain came to TX instead of Boot leg Bo!!!!!!! read more

Hungry? Stop here. Hung over? Stop here. Been skipping carbs for a while like me and you're just fed up?! Stop here! lol Okay a bit dramatic but I absolutely loved my food. Everything was cooked well and it was hot hot hot just like I love it. Sauces are 25 cent extra but ranch and hot sauce is a must if you get chicken or potato wedges. I didn't have to wait long in the drive thru for my food and I was so ready to eat that I pulled over in a parking spot. There is seating inside if you choose though. After I was done eating, I just wanted to take a nap and go right back through the drive thru read more

Mountain Fried Chicken - Chicken, potatoes and roll - Chicken Wings Near Me - Winston Salem, North Carolina

I came here specifically to try the fried Livers and Gizzards, items that are rather hard to locate in the current food environment, especially the Gizzards. When I was growing up, if you bought a chicken it was very often the whole bird, with all the organ parts included, as was the neck. My mother fried everything, and we ate everything. Now few cut up their chicken, rather buying specific parts according to taste and budget. You can find chicken livers in some major grocery stores, but rarely, if ever, gizzards. You can find them at some ethnic stores, Mexican especially. Why these items are basically ignored is more than a little puzzling. The gizzard in particular is a nutritional powerhouse - lean, loaded with vitamins & minerals, as well as iron, zinc and B vitamins. Livers are much the same, especially loaded with iron - and soaking livers in mild for a short time helps tone down the taste! Both items were nicely cooked and full of flavor. I purchased the Snack portion of each item, which came with a dinner roll and potato wedges. The cost was $5.19 for each - this was good food at a great price.

I unfortunately do not have many positive points to share about my experience at this establishment. Yesterday was not my first experience with Mountain Fried Chicken, but it was the worst experience I've had while visiting this restaurant. I have had very mediocre experiences in the past, but this experience was downright dreadful. I ordered in the drive-thru and received my food in a timely manner. The employee whom I dealt with at the window was pleasant, but nothing to write home about. I received the correct order and was on my way home. Once I got home and settled, I opened up my food to begin eating. To my disappointment, the rice had NO seasoning on it. The gravy that I got with my rice was simply brown liquid, also with no flavor and or seasonings. The chicken was not seasoned, and the crispy skin that should have been was flaccid and soggy, as if it had been sitting under a warmer light for many hours. On the drive-thru menu, it states "okra fried to order," which was also not true, as my okra was the coldest thing on my plate when I opened it up to begin eating. As I stated before, I have had lackluster experiences with Mountain Fried Chicken before, but today was the nail in the coffin, and I will not be back after that debacle of a meal. read more

Mountain Fried Chicken - Chicken Wings Near Me - Winston Salem, North Carolina

Never disappoints.. My daughter and her teenage/older sons always want me to bring chicken from Mountain Fried when we visit Wake County

Service is terrible. I was told once there was a 5 minute wait on the chicken. Then I watch them empty a tray of chicken for orders placed after I did. Most included wedges. When I questioned I was told they were out of wedges and once again 5 minute wait. While the entire time they were filling orders with wedges on most all plates. I finally after 30 minutes of waiting got my money back and took my business to where my money was appreciated. Apparently management really doesn't care about their business or they would insure the orders would be filled properly and hire employees that are competent enough to do the job. I was lied to twice so I don't plan on being back. read more

The fried chicken wasn't seasoned very well and obviously had been sitting out a while as it was lukewarm. It tastes pretty much like what you would get at Walmart or Food Lion; Popeyes fried chicken or Lowe's Food are both superior alternatives. The potato wedges are just average. It doesn't say much about a restaurant that supposedly specializes in fried chicken when the roll, which was taken out of the bag it was purchased in, was the highlight. read more

The service was horrible. Left me standing there to wait for over a 1/2 hour while they kept serving drive through and other people inside. Felt like racism to me. I get that a lot around this town. It doesn't happen to just one color of people. read more

Best Chicken and service of any Chicken Houses in the Winston Salem Area.Wings,livers,gizzards and Dinner Boxes will not disappoint

The food is not good at all! The chicken was salty, old and awful! The green beans were not seasoned and the potato salad was store bought and unseasoned! Don't get me started on what they call desert! Save your money and your time! read more

It was horrible. The chicken was expensive and old. They charge for every sauce including hot sauce, and their internet wasn't working so they only took cash. Back in the day, their chicken was good, but after this experience, I won't be wasting my money read more

I picked up 150 tenders, 2 trays of wedges and they were hot and ready when I picked them up! I got them for a lunch at Mountain View Baptist Church in King where we also fed the congregation from Orchard View Church in Cana, Virginia. food was delicious as always! i have used them for other church functions, but this was by far the largest order! excellent food, service and value! I highly recommend them! Huge menu!! Bill Kiger read more

Note: The University Parkway location has moved to 5954 University Parkway ( Probably 1/2 mile further North) I stopped in to check out the new digs and I like them. Maybe slightly less seating than the 5475 location. The woman at the counter was patient and friendly and I perused the menu. I settled on the "Wing Special" of 10 wings, 8 wedges, and a roll. I added a Cheerwine on to that as well (obviously). The total was about $10.00. I had my food in about 45 seconds and settled in. The wings were large. Well seasoned and juicy. You can eat them plain or add any of the sauces available (BBQ, Honey Mustard, Texas Pete). I liked them all but stuck mostly with the Honey Mustard. The wedges were mostly good with a couple of the bigger ones being slightly undercooked. The side items and desserts looked really tempting on the hot bar. I look forward to going back! read more

The service was great. Atmosphere not so great, characters were hanging out in the parking lot. Chicken was delicious, sides left a lot to be desired. read more

I'm not exactly sure what has changed at this location, but the dining area was NASTY and the chicken was DRY! The macaroni casserole was fresh and very tasty... but I do believe I'll drive through for that IF I ever go back. All the down time we have had during this pandemic ... the place should be spotless! The trashcan's were disgusting!! Dry food and sauce all over the front!!! Floors, windows and entrance door filthy!!! I was the only person there ... at least 4 employees were just hanging out behind the counter!!! Ya'll need to CLEAN!!! And how about drop some fresh chicken when it starts to shrink because it's SO dry!! read more

Permanantly closed Went there this evening Monday 8/15/22 and the placed was closed. Tried the phone and it has been disconected. read more

Best fried chicken and chicken livers in the area , great prices excellent food I go every chance I get very tasty!

Chicken was good, but it was very hot (fresh) for it to be a place known for its fried chicken. It's a place I would come to again, but it just wouldn't be my first choice when I'm craving fried chicken. read more

The food is always good. However, the dining room is closed but the drive thru is open. Upon finially arriving at the window, you could see that the place was filthy. Also, the guy at the window ha the personality of a rock, never once spoke. I know covid is affecting businesses, but come on now, try to at least smile or say hello. Questioning whether we return or not. read more

Very sad to see that you aren't serving livers or gizzards. The last 2 times I've called for them you're either out or aren't making them. Now I've got to find another restaurant that serves them. Such a shame because we love your chicken but we also love the livers and gizzards. Hope you bring them back, I'd hate to have to find another restaurant to replace you read more

Got some take out here in my way home from work. It was okay, not great, but not awful either. The place has an odd smell when you walk in, it didn't smell like food though which gave me hesitancy. They did have a 97.5 health rating which put my mind to ease. The guy who took my order was really nice and respectful and answered any questions I had about the menu since it was my first time there. I chose to go with the chicken dinner option that came with 4 pieces of fried chicken, two sides, and two pieces of bread. The fried chicken was "okay" as it was fried nicely but didn't have a whole lot of flavoring. It wasn't too greasy either which was nice I just wish it have more of a tasting to it like KFC's original recipe does. For my sides I chose to get Mom's Mac and cheese along with potato wedges. The potato wedges were about what you expected the to be: warm, cooked, and not raw. I put hot sauce on the wedges and chicken to add more kick and flavor to them. The Mac and cheese was delicious though! They incorporate this like chili tomato sauce mix within the Mac and cheese which gave it a little kick and some flavor. I enjoyed it very much! The rolls were your basic Merita bread factory rolls that are served at an after church service dinner and were good. I also got some apple cobbler for my sweet tooth which was warm and gooey! The apples were flavored perfectly and soft and the cake itself was moist to perfection! I would definitely come back just for the cobbler. My only major complaint would be the food was laid out like a buffet when I first got there and it looked like it had been sat out for awhile; not sure if there is a law where it has to be exchanged out for a fresh portion of food. I will look into that that though. Overall, the food was okay; it wouldn't be my first choice to go for some fried chicken, and I wouldn't automatically run to this place to eat at. But if it were the only place open at the time, I would go. read more

A good friend recommended MFC to us. We are glad he did and it is now a family favorite. The fried chicken is delicious and simply finger licking good. The potatoes are a must. No matter what you order, it is guaranteed to please the pickiest of eaters. We enjoy the tasty sides. read more

If chicken is your thing, MFC does a fine job. Regular chicken in crispy. The tenders are really good. And, as advertised, the chicken is not greasy. Potato wedges are also solid. The menu has chicken and dumplings on it, but they do not always choose to make them. I wish they would change that -- it is disappointing to want a menu item and regularly have it not available. read more

Horrible, terrible, disgusting! I can't understand how my aunt eats the stuff. She actually bought it for me, but I could not finish it. Not a fried chicken fan anyway, but if I have to eat the stuff, I'd rather make it at home. Not only is the food awful, but the staff is on the rude side. My friend asked for a job app, and one of the Hispanic women came to our table and whispered to us that the boss won't hire people of a certain race. So my friend ripped the application to shreds and left it on our table. If you want tasty food, save your money or go elsewhere. If you like crap, eat here. read more

I saw this name on Smitty's note as the #1 chicken place in WS... So a foods over like me HAD to try it!! Three girls and one boy ordered 50 wings and Mac&cheese and fried apples. And let me tell you, we devoured it!!!!! It was REALLY good!!!! And the price is quite affordable!!! read more

Stopped at the university parkway location. When I finally was able to look at the chicken, it was old & dry. There was no seasoning in the chicken & it was cold. The greens were over cooked & there was no flavor to them. I will not be going there again. read more

Extra fast service at the drive-thru was a great surprise at the end of a long day at work. My order was ready to go by the time I pulled around and handed my card to the cashier. The order taker was easy to understand and the guy who took my payment made a point to make eye contact while we chatted and wished me a nice afternoon. Great service AND fantastic food is a combination that's hard to beat! read more

I went through the drive thru and the cashier took my money without giving me my change. I asked her for my change and she said she had already given it to me!! I didn't have the strength to argue. My food was cold and I asked for my meal to be replaced and it was super greasy. Both the wedges and the chicken. I won't be going back to this location on Akron Drive!!! read more

This was absolutely disgusting. I had to throw my whole tray out. The macaroni and cheese is not macaroni and cheese it's over cooked macaroni with marinara sprinkled with cheese. Actually make that sprinkled with marinara too. The potato wedges were mush. The chicken itself were extremely small pieces less than 3 ounces of chicken for two thighs. And to top it off the chicken taste like it was fried in spent oil about that was lightly rancid. There's a reason why there's never cars in this parking lot. read more

Tried this place again the other day and it still isn't what I remember from years ago. The portions are smaller. Even the chicken pieces are smaller. But still Texas Pete at your beckoning and chances are there is a sheriffs deputy in the building at all times. NOT SECURITY. EATING. Which I guess either way is a good thing. You guys gotta get some bigger chickens. There is a place on Akron right off 52 with the biggest, juiciest chicken I ever had. Of course thats in the projects so you better be hungry and ready. And don't mind marge's sawed off. read more

Good non-greasy fried chicken with the mac&cheese side and the famous potato wedges is always a good choice. Now their mac&cheese is an acquired taste. It like chilli mac without beef. Different but good. The green sides are usually under seasoned and the green beans definitely were under seasoned. We always return because the fried chicken is ALWAYS good. read more

I must concur with all that martyr said. Having lived in 20 different cities across the us, these are still the best wings I have ever had and I miss them dearly. read more

Very huge fan of it! Awesome food for party or if you are just craving for fried chicken! Freshly cooked and big portion! We had fried chicken and chicken wings! They were totally worth the price and reputation! read more

Fast and hot food, will be back. I ordered 15 pieces of chicken for a work pot luck and the chicken was fresh

This place looks too revolting to even go inside. I feel a hell of a lot safer eating an Empire Kosher chicken than this !@#$. No wonder so many people in this society are so overweight. read more

The food was terrible! Mac and cheese had no cheese(or any ingredients that makes mac&cheese) tasted like it was just drained from the water and the greens were the same no seasoning at all! Straight out the can and rinsed with water, No cheese at all in the mac&cheese. Each person had the same summation of their meal and returned the entire order!!! Never again..... read more

I just got back from their drive thru on University. After I paid the cashier for ten boneless angel wings, she simply walked off and was never to be seen. Meanwhile, a heavyset Hispanic female employee twiddled her thumbs, looked at the ceiling and texted while I waited for my food in the pouring rain. After a good ten minutes of doing this, she sighed and begrudgingly gave me my order. I have never encountered an employee as blatantly inconsiderate and disrespectful as this person. read more

Sorry Martyr X, I have to agree with Kevin. The location is sketchy and the food is too. Not nearly the place that I remember from the mid-1990's. I once would have scoffed at heading to a chain chicken place instead, now I say run! read more
