    Daily Specials!
    Nio W.

    The classic takes a long time to make even when it's not busy so I won't make that mistake again. Other orders were out that ordered after me. :/ Seems like the fries were the wait since they ran out. I'm guessing people don't order fries often ‍. Surprising. Anyways, 16 minute wait isn't a great sign for my first visit when the store wasn't busy. They have some good daily specials and I would love to try the smashburger! The place is relaxing enough where sitting and eating could be relaxing.

    3 piece dark, mash potatoes and coleslaw

    Not what I thought it would be. The customer service was great they were very kind. The food was ok, in my opinion it was under seasoned and left out under the lamp too long. The chicken was very dry and not as crunchy as stated in previous reviews. The mashed potato was clumpy and the gravy was too salty for my taste. The coleslaw was good but drenched with dressing and very liquid. Not a place I would return to dine.

    Homemade banana pudding

    I was finally able to make a visit. It is located next to El Rey Mexican, Dunkin Donuts, Capriottis and across the street from Metro Diner. The menu is located behind the counter in the overhead. There's multiple of options to choose from with their friendly staff. I chose chicken and waffle; mac and cheese, hush puppies and homemade banana pudding. The chicken with waffle was delicious. The chicken was crispy on the outside, tender and moist on the inside. They have various of dipping sauces for the chicken but since it was well, it didn't really need it. The waffle was light and airy. The hush puppies were good with a light batter and crunch. The mac and cheese was creamy and tasty. For dessert was their homemade banana pudding which was very sweet and dreamy. I shall make another visit in the future to try other items on the menu.

    The last two times I've gotten food I've gotten extremely slimy inedible chicken. It's a shame. I used to love this place, but won't be returning. It's mostly the big pieces that are bad. The drumsticks weren't as bad. The pic shown is after I pulled the skin off.

    Mama's Chicken Special advertised in store.  Great deal

    I know it's a chicken place and the chicken is really good, but you absolutely need to try the fried fish! It is AMAZING!!! Plus they fry each fish order to serve, so you get it fresh every time. In addition, the service goes up and above. First, they use toast for your card to pay, and i had never registered and he noticed that and mentioned it to me and talked me through it. Didn't have to and all the other merchants never did. Took seconds and what a difference. Second, I forgot to order my wife's shrimp so got back in line and ordered it and they made sure that it was put with my first order. Top notch service and food.

    I really liked the chicken strips. They were flavorful. The chicken sandwiches, i liked a lot less. The only taste in this was mayo. Don't bring your nice clothes, you will come out smelling like chicken .

    Ok, so, if you wanna be reminded of your heritage, you come here to Mama's chicken in Fredericksburg. If you wanna be reminded of what home is, you come here. If you wanna taste of good fried chicken, hush puppies, coleslaw, and ESPECIALLY THAT BANANA PUDDING, come to Mama's chicken in Fredericksburg. This food is great! Chicken perfected to crispy and juicy! My goodness that banana pudding was the highlight of my day! And mannn that Biscuit was perfect! Try mama's chicken please, you'll enjoy it!

    Service was efficient and although you have to wait a minute it seems like most of the stuff they make is fresh so it's worth the wait. The place was packed and busy as we were doing an errand run and decided to swing by there. Prices were good too! I recommend the place as the food was seasoned and not overly salty nor bland. They kept doing upkeep whenever there was a small break so the place can be as tidy as possible and don't forget to get the mama sauce! Smokey, tangy, and savory all in one.

    Chicken and biscuits very good, sides below average. The sides are small in the 10 piece family dinner, maybe 2 servings in each container.

As a longtime Cookout fan who first discovered the chain during late night college runs in North Carolina, I always make a point to stop by whenever I'm near one of their northernmost locations in Fredericksburg, VA. Over the years, Cookout has come a long way from the plain white Styrofoam trays to the new branded paper boxes with vent holes, which do a great job of keeping fried foods crispy and fresh. I've dined inside this location about half a dozen times and have always had a great experience. The restaurant is consistently clean, the staff are friendly, and service is quick. My go to order is the Cookout Tray with a big double burger prepared Cookout Style, which means Carolina chili, slaw, cheese, and raw onions. I usually get fries and onion rings as my sides. Even though the tray used to be $3.99 back in my college days, the current price of $6.99 still feels like a great value considering the portion size and quality. On my most recent visit, I was extra hungry and decided to try a second mini tray for $5.99. I went with two corndogs as the main and added cheese bites and hush puppies as sides, plus a Snickers milkshake to top it off. Everything came out hot, fresh, and exactly how I remember it. The milkshake was thick and creamy, just the way it should be, and I was absolutely stuffed by the end. Cookout's big double burgers, whether you get them Cookout Style or Cheddar Style with grilled onions, cheese sauce, and bacon, are easily some of the best fast food burgers for the price. Between the generous portions, variety of options, and late night hours (many locations stay open until 3 a.m.), Cookout continues to deliver on both taste and value. Overall, this Fredericksburg location has never disappointed me and remains one of my favorite stops when I'm craving a classic Cookout meal. Five stars all around for great food, friendly service, and consistent quality.

As you walked in, the restaurant is clean, very comfortable atmosphere and a good vibe. I ordered 5 items: 1) Chili Cheese Dog 2) Double Cheeseburger 3) Tater Tots and Onion Rings 4) Strawberry Dreamcake Sundae 5) Double Prime Steakburger. For all burgers, it comes with some condiments but you can also add extra. I tell ya, that first bite to their double cheeseburger was simply amazing. The buns were airy, soft and lightly toasted. The burger was tender, juicy and with all of the components together it made that bite perfect for me. You have a choice of sides but I wasn't able to choose so I ordered their matchstix fries, tater tots and onion rings. You have your typical ketchup for your fries but they also have two other dipping sauce for your fries which is regular dipping and jalapeño. I recommend the jalapeño cheddar, you won't be disappointed! The prime steakburger was also tender and delicious. Their chili dogs was delicious, it had a crispy casting, chili topping was delicious but I wish the cheese was melted. And lastly you can't go wrong with any of their shakes, sundaes and custards. I got their strawberry dreamcake sundae with two scoops of vanilla ice cream, topped with strawberry, cake chunks and it was delicious. All staff members were friendly and shown great team work. I had immaculate service from cashier named Ervin L. He was friendly, humorous, attentive and very knowledgeable. This restaurant is a great place to bring your kids, friends and family. I will definitely make another visit in the near future.

Freddy's burgers are fantastic - good sized patties with lots of fresh toppings, the taste is exactly what you'd expect from a good burger. And the fries hit the spot with their salt and pepper flavor, doused in ketchup, of course. After we ate, we were ready to hit the road with a frozen custard Turtle Sundae to go! This location is as good as any other Freddy's, highly recommended for anyone passing by on a trip!

There stood a cheerful young lady with a tablet beside the speaker box, hustling orders with the urgency of an air traffic controller at Reagan National. Now I will give them this -- they move people through faster than a tax refund disappears in Washington. I ordered three chicken finger baskets and repeated "unsweetened tea" enough times that it should have become part of the permanent record. Reconfirmed it at the second window too. We were in and out in four minutes flat, carrying enough Styrofoam and paper sacks to feed a Little League team. Six minutes later at home, the first sip of tea hit like liquified hummingbird feeder. That "unsweetened" tea had enough sugar in it to put the city of Fredericksburg on insulin monitoring. Somewhere in that kitchen a man clearly believes every Southerner measures tea sweetness by whether the spoon can stand upright in the cup. Then came the fries. Lord help us. These were pale, limp crinkle fries that looked less "fresh fried" and more "recently thawed beside a space heater." Not a hint of crispness. No golden-brown glory. Just soft potato strips lying in the tray like they had accepted defeat long before reaching the fryer. The chicken itself? Tiny little one-inch strips hiding under enough crunchy batter to qualify as exterior siding. Crispy, yes. Generous, no. More breading than bird. The Texas toast arrived soggy enough to make you wonder if it had been steamed instead of toasted. Calling that "Texas toast" is an insult to a state that once fought a war over standards. The lone survivor in this culinary rodeo was the sauce. That special sauce is carrying the entire franchise on its back like a weary mule climbing Pike's Peak. I finally asked my grandson if he had eaten there before. He admitted he had not. He'd simply been told it was great and figured nobody could really mess up chicken fingers and fries. Well. Humanity continues to innovate. Strike Raising Cane's from the regular rotation unless it is 2:00 in the morning, every other restaurant in Virginia is dark, and your soul is screaming for fried chicken through the fog of poor decisions.

There was more cooking that needed to be done after my second cut into the breast. No worries, I had two breast and so I cut sliced the other and the juices flowed out and I thought yes the got this right....... Nope. I cut deeper and it wasn't done either. I told Jeremy I just wanted a refund at this point which he gladly gave me and apologized continuously. Sadly, when I looked at my wife's chicken compared to mine, it was quite easy to tell hers was not that fresh. It looked dry and maybe reheated. But can't say for certain bc I didn't ask her how it tasted. The place is clean and very casual atmosphere. But this was a 1 and Done.
