They have some of the best chicken. The coleslaw and onion rings are a must try. The staff is always so nice and the prices are very reasonable for the amount of food. read more

Mr Chicken is the Best in town always great service dinners are fantastic just love there chicken

I love this place! My family and I have been coming here since I was a kid in the mid 60's and I never once was disappointed with the chicken (or the coleslaw, it's the best). I would of given them 5 stars but they also haven't remodeled the place since they opened in the 60's and I don't care to dine-in there. Also not a big fan of their fries. read more

Amazing, amazing, amazing!! THE best broasted chicken I have ever had. Family favorite for many years with fabulous staff all around! Takeout or dine in, just great! read more

Yum, yum, yum!!!!! If anyone remembers John Edwards on Telegraph and Chicago, you will surely appreciate Mr. Damn Good Chicken! The best broasted chicken I've ever had! It's seasoned so well and the service is fast! I always get the 5 wing dinner, 1/2 broasted, 1/2 bbq'd! You will not be disappointed! read more

Love this place, nothing fancy... just great chicken and friendly service.

We served this delicious chicken at our Wedding reception 29 years ago. It is still my favorite, not greasy and spiced just right. I like the crunch on the outside and the juicy inside stays hot all the way to our home in Wayne. My husband loves the coleslaw and onion rings. Customer service is friendly and fast. read more

Best Chicken, Best Price. Great Coleslaw. Really nothing else to say. Mr. Chicken was the building blocks of my daughter.

If you feel like visiting a diner from yesteryears, Mr. Chicken is the place to be. I felt as if I stepped back into the southern 1960s, with the home-y/grandma's dining room feel... and I loved that. Our "drinks" hostess was an absolute doll, she was so nice and really made us feel welcomed. Our food hostess was super sweet too, and other staff members passed by and said hello to our baby or the kids. Lemme tell you, this was the best customer service experience I have ever come across. The food might not be 4 star gourmet, but the service was beyond 4 stars at this little restaurant. As for the food, it went right along with that country old fashioned feel. I seriously think my grandma had same dishes they serve with! We had the appetizer that includes all the fried stuff , which included zucchini and cauliflower. Nothing special but still good. I order clam chowder and yes, it tasted like it came out of a can but that's okay because I like canned clam chowder! The chicken tenders were standard and yummy, the fried cod was moist and really good (and I wish dinner came with more of it!) and ooooooh the chicken. I mean, I know the place is called Mr. Chicken for a reason, but I didn't expect the chicken to be that good. I really don't like chicken on the bone to be honest but the chicken breast was sooooooo good! It was super moist and flavorful throughout, not just the skin, which rocked BTW. Bottom line: The chicken rules, the rest is good in a kitschy sort of way, and the staff are AWESOME. I would go back just for the atmosphere and great hostesses! If you are going down Telegraph and feeling hungry, stop by and get some chicken! read more

See all

This is one of my favorite places in Detroit. The diner style atmosphere is like you are in the south. They have some great chicken. The prices are reasonable and the service is excellent. I have carried out and also dined in. One advice is stick to the chicken. The chicken is made in house, the boneless and other items are ready made from other places. But hands down BEST chicken in Detroit! read more

Truth be told I've never eaten inside however, I have carried out many many many times. The food is delicious!!!! The chicken is good, the cole slaw is splendid and the roasted potatoes are amazing. The cole slaw is incredible it's finely chopped and has the right amount of cream. The broasted potatoes are also great still have the potato skin on them. If my family has a BBQ or a get together it can be pretty much guaranteed there will be cole slaw and broasted potatoes. read more

The chicken is excellent! The best broasted chicken I've ever tried. It's always flavorful and juicy. Theirs is the only cole slaw I will even eat more than just a little taste of. I could even say I love their cole slaw. Two tips: order a side of Ranch dressing. It is the best Ranch around. I dip my fries and chicken in it, or make a lil chicken sandwich with Ranch on the bread they give when you dine in. And if you're getting your food to-go, poke holes in your styrofoam box of fries to let the steam out. Terri was our server last time in and she was top-notch, super friendly, and just the right amount of attentive. Thank you for a wonderful lunch experience! read more

Great chicken. How on earth are there this many reviews and no one is saying how bad the fries are? If you have to slip them up with ranch that does not mean it is a good fry! Get anything else, it's great. Go to mcd's also. Whatever, but I cannot understand how a place can have consistently inedible fries for years and the populous is silent about it.... read more

My favorite chicken outside of Frankenmuth. Delish, broasted, non greasy comfort food

My husband and I just came back from Mr Chicken. A place that we both remember being the best broasted chicken anywhere. My husband worked right around the corner and take out was a regular weekly treat for him and his coworkers. Since he has retired it's a little far out of our way, but he thought today he would treat me after I got off work. Wow, what a difference from two years ago, the food was cold and the wings were the size of a fifty cent piece. What happened to the hot juicey chicken that melted your styrofoam before you even made it home. When we asked the waitress she replyed that it all depends on what they send us. Sorry, but as a business person myself if Sherwood or whoever you get your product from ever sent me this kind of product it would be rejected at the back door. I truly understand how hard it is to run an independent business, but you just can't be inconsistent or you fail. Good luck to you and I hope you'll take my advice. May I also add in no way am I replying that Sherwood has anything to do with your product that you sell I am just familiar with many meat vendors. read more

I love this place for a few reasons one being that it's a few minutes away and the chicken is always HOT, which is a big deal for me when fried chicken is involved. Give them a try and make sure if you eat in that u try their Ranch dressing. read more

Perfect for family get togethers. Chicken is always juicy and delicious. Friendly staff too

Mr. Chicken is one of those small, family owned establishments that are also one of the local area's best kept secrets. Tthe restaurant doesn't look like anything spectacular outside, or even once you walk through the doors. They don't have an extensive menu either. Chicken, ribs, shrimp, salad, slaw; the usual. But don't let the unexceptional appearance fool you. You won't find better chicken anywhere. The sides are really good as well, but as their name implies, chicken is what they do best. I can't speak for any of their other entrees because, in all honesty, when I'm at Mr. Chicken, I have to get their chicken; there is no other option. If you're in the vicinity, you should check them out. Even if there's some place closer to you, make the extra drive and get the chicken at Mr. Chicken. You won't be disappointed. read more

Great chicken and boasted potatoes. Friendly and very clean. I have been going there since the late 80's and still the same...great food

Rude service. I told the waitress I wanted to order food to go, but she kept trying to sell me a drink and kept asking me to dine in. Never experienced this anywhere else. So confusing. And she watched me signing the receipt for tips. So rude. read more

customer service on my carry out order was so deplorable and inconsiderate that I feel the need to share the experience. I ordered (and paid in full) for a white meat chicken and shrimp dinner that would include 2 pieces of chicken, 4 shrimp, and fries. They serve it to you in a bag that's folded shut and stapled with the receipt. I got all the way back to work before I realized there wasn't any chicken, just 4 cocktail sized shrimp and a handful of fries-so I called right away and let then know. they apologized, took down my name, and said they'd take care of me next time I came in. a week later i show up and to my dismay, all they wanted to give me was the chicken they'd left out. no fries. no drink. nothing "extra." they were actually on the defense out the gate, as if I'd done something wrong by not coming back up there. i asked to speak to the manager because my argument was simple: you guys owe me for the inconvenience of a second trip. and you owe me for the inconvenience of eating a $10 meal that was 50% missing. and you owe me for being a returning customer. But the server and the manager were adamant that all they owed me was a breast and a wing and rudely proceeded to help the next customer in line. so, there you have it. no I don't have anything bad to say about the food but as far as I'm concerned, I feel strongly enough to dissuade anyone from patronizing them. I know what's fair and what's not, and as far as I'm concerned, they have no respect for their carryout customers. read more

We've been going here for years. Great food with a great staff! I'd highly recommend this for any meal or family gathering!

Hi! Y'all wats up note this place is amazing food and people and old school decor that's a serious fried chicken hotspot polite workers and fast service amazing for eating there or for to go read more

Great food, and ridiculously friendly people. Our wait for the food wasn't long at all, but the management seemed to think so, so they have us an extra order of shrimp and knocked 5 dollars off the bill. You will get enough food to fill you up, and to take home in boxes all for a really good price. read more

I have gotten take out from here many times but I find the chicken pretty bland and the cole slaw is a sloppy mess...ground to a fine paste. I like the steak fries though they are usually soft and thick rather than crisp like fries. The staff is nice and the service is fast. I just wish for a bit more flavor. read more

I've eaten hundreds of meals from this place and miss it terribly since I moved out of the state. It is the best broasted chicken hands down. It's also a great place for casual catered occasions like graduation and birthday parties. read more

Love the chicken here! The coleslaw is ultimate! I would eat here more often if fewer calories were involved. The salad is fresh and the potatoes are great!!! read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants. Their chicken is the best. If you went to an expensive restaurant and ordered chicken, it would not be as good as Mr Chicken. It is always served hot and you never have to wait for a seat or for your order. It is great to take out if you are having a dinner or a picnic. Call ahead and it will be ready when you get there. They also have good soup, which apparently changes daily. The ribs are also very good and fall off the bone. The prices are amazingly reasonable. I usually do not care for cole slaw but I like the slaw at Mr Chicken. Their onion rings are awesome. I have not tried the other items on the menu. If you like chicken, you will not regret going here! Oh, another nice touch is that they give you those pre moistened towelettes to clean your fingers when you are done. Give them a try! read more

Tried this place for the first time...most likely will be the last time. The name is "Mr. Chicken", but I opted for the ribs...big mistake. They handed me my carry-out bag, and it felt heavy. I'm thinking "all right! Lots of vittles!". Actually, most of the weight turned out to be cold, soggy fries. Short version: Mushy fries, mushy coleslaw, mushy 'average' ribs. When I'm 80, I may come back to this place, simply because it's the only food I'll be able to chew. Want good ribs, potatoes and coleslaw? Go to BoneYard. It may be a longer drive, but well worth the trip. read more

Good Broasted Chicken Pieces are a bit small but delicous . Very casual restaurant daily specials I believe mon and thurs they have chicken dinner specials. Broasted Potatos are good and if you get onion rings as a side you get a lot. Cole slaw is Best I have had. This is a place that "Our Older generation goes". dining room is simple Ribs are Baby backs and I highly recommend the chicken and rib combo. Dine in if you decide to try them because nothing beats chicken right out of the broaster. Even the wing dings are Great, Can't say anything negative about this place. Again nothing special about the Dining room . They do more carry out than dine in I think but it's still nice to dine in enjoy the freshly Broasted Chicken and Make sure to Take Care of your Wait Staff :-). Have kid's meals (menu) also read more
