Mary Brown's Chicken & Taters

The food is fine, if you like Mary Browns you know what you’re getting, and I’ve always enjoyed it. My problem with this place is the truly awful staff. I have gone in just for take-out a couple of different times and there always seems to be an issue. First off the staff are usually pretty bad. They will all see you standing there waiting to order and will ignore you for more than just a few minutes, I think their goal is that you actually leave so they won’t have to serve you, which I have on more than one occasion here after having to wait over five minutes while the staff just looks at you occasionally while continuing to ignore you, great business strategy. When they do eventually serve you they are often saucy and barely pay attention to you. I have seen them punch in my order wrong on the computer many times and every time I have corrected them they act as though it’s your fault they got it wrong. Once after receiving my order I noticed my large gravy was missing when I got back to the car so I went back in to have it fixed they basically accused me of lying and leaving the gravy in the car before begrudgingly giving in and giving me what I ordered or “replaced it” as they said, they must of felt like they got the last laugh though as the large gravy was only half filled. That was the last time I went there and will be the last time I will go there. I may enjoy my Mary Browns but the “better than you atmosphere” of Mary’s Diner they can keep. I’ll just drive less than five minutes down the road the The Elizabeth Ave Mary Browns where you are served quickly treated with respect.

Had the Batter's Box. It came to $29 with a drink. It included 6 pieces of chicken, taters or fries, 2 biscuits and gravy. It wasn't anything to write home about. Could barely taste any seasoning on the chicken or taters and if you don't like dark meat it's a total waste of money. There was only one white piece. The rest was wings and thighs and 1 leg. I can't comment on the biscuit as I never even bothered to try it. 🙄

They have completely updated the place and it looks great! It really has that old fashioned diner feel with a modern twist. The menu selection isn't huge but that's a positive....more attention to detail and quality. Our orders came quickly and the food was good. The best part of dining here was the service! The lady and the gent who looked out to us were very friendly and knowledgeable. They were very positive and upbeat and it was contagious! Great spot; I will be visiting again soon!
