Kinda of a surprise find. Recommend by a friend when looking looking for good fried chicken. The chicken was a little greasy, but it was still better than any chain restaurant. The side dishes were a plentiful and tasty. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would recommend Mountain Fried Chicken. read more

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

I've driven by this place a hundred times and can't believe I've never been. I stopped in today and was pleasantly surprised to see on the menu that you could buy an extra piece of chicken for $1.87. I got the two-piece dark meat and added an extra chicken thigh. I decided to choose macaroni and cheese and pinto beans as my sides. The macaroni and cheese had some kind of tomato sauce mixed in that just made it that much better. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and cooked and very juicy and the pinto beans were great. Not a bad meal for less than $11. I will definitely be back. read more

Mountain Fried Chicken - Two-Piece dark meat with an extra piece, pinto beans, macaroni and cheese, and a roll - Chicken Wings Near Me - Winston Salem, North Carolina

Obviously this is not the best part of town, and the restaurant has seen better days, in fact it is more than a little seedy - making this a take out spot for most folks! This is not the very best fried chicken in the Winston area (for that I would suggest Clemmons Kitchen), but it is solid, and is not the least bit expensive. My 2 piece dark meat with 2 sides and a small dinner roll came to $6.14 - that's a definite value meal at a time when many fast food chains are introducing "meal deals". As I said this was solid chicken - well breaded, nicely fried, moist and tender. The pintos were good, well seasoned, while the mashed potatoes and gravy were just ok. Doubt I'd come here again, but I'd stop by the University Pkwy location for a quick, inexpensive lunch or snack! read more

I went home and air fried it myself. The wings ended up 10x better. But even after eating their food my stomach feels rough. May be too much grease. Service is okay, nothing crazy to write home about nor memorable. Place is also not kept well. But you come here for greasy chicken and that's what you'll get! read more

Clean, friendly, fast service. The portions are generous.... But... the preparation is perfect. The chicken is crispy, moist and tender and not greasy at all ! The wings are actually large strips of breast meat perfectly cooked! Very tender and juicy. They also serve chicken livers! I have eaten at Both locations, always pleased. You'll love their food. read more

Absolutely amazing fried chicken at a great price! The employees were friendly and fast. Everything the tried was well seasoned, fresh, and oh so yummy! The portions were very generous. The potato wedges are the best I've ever had. If you don't care about ambiance, and just want delicious, affordable food, then Mountain Fried Chicken is THE place. read more

Great food and service. Everything was hot and fresh. I would recommend them because they helave great customer service

Chicken is always hot and the buffalo sauce adds that extra kick. Although it's rather dated inside and could use some updating. The service is good and they are ready to help. We stop here when leaving the flea market read more

That's some good fried chicken the white people know they can fry some chicken and I'm from New York. this chicken ain't got a bunch of sauces. It's just plain fried and delicious. The wedges are good too. read more

Once a staple of fried chicken in Winston Salem. It is no longer the restaurant that it once was. When I visited this restaurant with my friends, I was honestly shocked at the condition of the restaurant. There were napkins scattered all throughout the floor, tables were overturned, seats were knocked over, and there were random puddles of liquid all over. Even though the conditions were this poor, I decided to order chicken because I heard that this restaurant was once extremely popular. However, I soon learned that this was the wrong decision. The chicken was extremely dry, and the sides were extremely salty. This was not representative of southern fried chicken whatsoever. It was a complete letdown. Additionally, I was not confident that the food was not contaminated because of the poor sanitary conditions. I cannot recommend this restaurant. read more

My friend and I came to Mountain Fired on a fluke and man was it a good one. This is my first time eating at the Akron Drive location and it is now my favorite. We were there on a Sunday evening closer to the end of the night but the food was still fresh. Their portions are very generous and filling. Try the Mac-n-cheese that is nothing like any you've seen before. All of their boneless chicken is fresh made to order so if you want tenders or boneless wings it will take a few extra minutes. The staff gave us a few extras for the road since it was closing time and that team had the best attitude. It is located in an old Hardee's restaurant that could use some updates but it was clean and secure. Very family friendly read more

If it's convenient, it's worth it. I would not drive across town for it when there are better and more convenient fried chicken places in Winston. read more

I love Mountain Fried Chicken . I'll eat their chicken before I eat anyone else's but I was so disappointed and disgusted last weekend. My husband went to Akron Drive, which is my favorite spot and when he bought that chicken in when I opened the 15 Piece Moose the chicken was dark. It didn't even taste like mountain fries recipe. It was highly seasoned with too much salt. Two pieces is all I could tolerate to eat because it wasn't their original recipe. He ended up taking it and giving it to homeless people versus throwing it out I did send them an email. I have not gotten a response, but I now have to look at them differently 20 years.+ I've been eating from Mountain Fried and I Travel from Stratford Rd area over to that restaurant. I did notice that the University Rural Hall Restaurant vegetables are more like home-cooked and not just dumped out of a can. They used to have a manager African-American young man that had hazel color eyes and whenever he was on, I knew I would be getting some good chicken. He left there and was at Popeyes the new one on Stratford Road, but I don't care for Popeyes chicken they always have issues with their menu and get your order wrong!!! so I hope someone from the Mountain Fried chicken business sees this and makes improvement because I know I'm not the only one and you just can't serve people anything because they come through the drive-through and pay their money and go about their business. Food is too expensive these days and time is precious. read more

Food was good however the service left a lot to be desired. I had called at least an hour before I had to pick up my order and was told one thing by the person on the phone who I found out later was the manager. Very disappointed as the person that waited on me was more concerned with the policy he knew instead of what was communicated to me over the phone. read more

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner! I have had their chicken many times and must say it's always hot, fresh and cooked to perfection! I went last week and picked up an order of 75 wings to take to a celebration and they make it so easy. You don't have to pre order they keep plenty of hot fresh chicken on hand. They have many home cooked sides from potato wedges , green bean, baked beans to chicken n dumplings . They make it easy to cater a family function or any event . They were helping a customer take out such an order when I was there and must say they were slammed busy but had a good attitude. Yes it's in a run down old fast food building, not in a great part of town but put that aside if you want Real homemade fried chicken and wings with lots of side to choose from. Have to try their Mac and cheese it has a tomato base with good homemade simple flavors . They also sell fruit cobblers and the peach is worth taking home a pint. read more

Absolutely delicious. I was 20 weeks pregnant looking for some potatoes wedges while visiting family in NC and found this place. Chicken was amazing (sauce too) and so we're the potatoes wedges. The person at the front was amazing as he helped us find the best combo deal. read more

The service left a LOT to be desired. Left me waiting while fresh chicken came up and went out the drive thru, at least 3-4 batches. Took care of other people inside, just not me. Did being white have anything to do with it!? Mmmmmm....I think so. When I finally got to choose some things to order, it wasn't much and it wasn't worth eating. The inside could use an entire makeover, along with the service and food. Haven't gone there since and I won't go there again. Everyone will tell you to go to specific ones because they're not worth a damn! read more

Hits the spot... my boyfriend and I love this place! The chicken is perfectly cooked and I have never been disappointed!

Great food, and reasonably priced. Friendly service, great place to have a small gathering catered from. Will return.

I plainly told the girl at the counter I wanted 25 piece with wedges and a Veg plate, she rang me up for wings no wedges then said it doesn't come with it! Ok I plainly said I wanted them! Also got home NO sauce! Terrible customer service. $35 and not what I ordered. Wings were tiny like mini chicken wings! Won't go back! read more

This place is in my coming to America voice, a complete S hole. I would not recommend this place at all. It took over 20 minutes to get my food. They forgot of make my order. I walked up to the registers, the cashier asked what I ordered again. Mind you it's really ghetto up in here. The workers here are unprofessional and loud. It's a shame cause I saw some good reviews about this place. Whatever you do, stay far away from this place. Plus it's smells, and is really dirty looking inside. read more

This not mountain chicken. Its a treat for my dogs. They got my order wrong to charge more. The dumplings tasted . They gave us chicken in return like four pieces. Idk...take mountain out of it and call it caca version kfc I guess. And thats horrible. Bc kfc is gross too. Just sayin. read more

Great wings and nice staff. They have Pepsi products which a plus for me. Doesn't always look busy but it is definitely worth checking out! They are very reasonably priced for what you get as well. read more

Great food. I love their potato wedges and chicken. I have been eating there since I was a teen, which was many years ago.

Mountain fried chicken is really good and the staff was very friendly really enjoyed the food the atmosphere was decent

It's kinda dirty, kinda gritty and not my first choice for fried chicken, but the potato wedges are out of this world! Hot, crispy, salty and still in their jackets, they are an absolute MUST. Frying up chicken, tearing off bunny bread rolls and dishing out green beans, Mac & cheese and potato wedges in an old Hardee's isn't my idea of a good time, but you can't beat a snack for $3.99. read more

This location is not the best but the fried chicken is pretty darn good!

Go elsewhere 100%...this location is dirty and building is in need of maintenance...bother toilets were non functioning and had no soap. Dead flies line the seats, counter lady was super rude telling me they did not offer the kid's meal clearly on the screen...just meaning that we had to wait 7-10 minutes for Angel wings to cook. We later 15 minutes got our food ...an absolutely incorrect order. Disgusting facility, not great at all chicken and super duper rude counter help!!!! read more

It's NOT Greasy! That's their slogan and it's true! I've been coming here for 25+ years and it's the best fried chicken period! Their wings are their calling card and they are good! They are deep fried with a very light breading. They are served with potato wedges which are my favorite side! Now you can get regular pieces of chicken and a variety of sides to choose from like, greens, green beans, mashed potatoes, baked beans, peach cobbler, and others! The "Moose" is the 15 wings with 8 wedges and will run you about $10. You can go smaller by getting the "Winston" which is 10 wings with 6 wedges for around $8. The have three locations in the Triad, and they are all "Not Greasy"! read more

The fried chicken was awesome, the chicken and dumplings tasted homemade and the potato wedges all good. Everything was hot and fresh. The employees were courteous. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars because it is a little rough around the edges, but did seem clean. read more

Best fried chicken ever! You will never be disappointed. Great customer service! Especially good for large orders. They just do it right!! read more

Mountain Fried Chicken Akron Dr. Located in what used to be an old Hardee's building is Mountain Fried Chicken. The building itself is definitely starting to look a little rough around the edges. There is plenty of parking in their private lot, and It also has seen some better days. Inside its the same thing. A little tarnished from years of service. The food is still good. Fried chicken is some good stuff. Like others have said its not quite award winning, but considering all things, this is still a very good option for fried chicken. Its solid. Ttheir slogan.. its not greasy. Not overly greasy. Last batch I got from here was piping hot, crispy, good and juicy inside with a nice taste. There is not too much breading on their chicken either, which is a good thing. Good seasoning, without being too much. As sides I get the potato salad, corn, and mac n cheese. All are very good, the mac n cheese has some tomato sauce in it which adds a nice element. The corn is down right awesome, reminds me of home, fresh seasoned country taste. The potato salad is solid. Not the best, but good. All in all I would recommend this place for your fried chicken craving. Its just off the interstate so you can swing in and be back on the road in no time. read more

It doesn't look like much from outside (well, it actually looks just like an old Burger King or Hardee's), but inside is some very, very good chicken. It's not out of this world or anything, so don't keep your expectations too high - it's just very solid, crispy chicken that's not overly salty. Kinda tastes like "homemade" or something someone would bring to a picnic, if that makes any sense. And like the catchphrase says, it's not greasy! (I mean, of course it's going to be greasy, but it's not TOO greasy). Also: the potato wedges are really, really good. Breaded in some kind of crispy seasoned flour or something, I'd definitely recommend those. Service is fast, prices are fair, it's definitely worth a stop if you're driving by on the highway. read more

Great food and friendly staff. Our first time here and it won't be the last.

The best chicken to splurge on when you have the money on you lol. But the one thing I dont like is the little hot sauce cups they give to you for free, then you have to pay more for extra, but other than that they are great. They have supoer fast service too. read more

Do not eat here. I went to this location on Akron Dr and as soon as I pulled up the girl ask for my order with an attitude rushing me quickly. After I stated my order she waits and then says well I can't hear you. I repeated my order louder for her to here and apparently she didn't like that. When I got to the window she tried to give me free food like I was gonna eat it. I told the manager and he was unaware of what she did so apparently she thought I was going to eat the food she did something to. She didn't even know if the food was for a kid or not. read more
