One of my favorite places for fried chicken. So juicy and Crispy... I like the potatoes as well with some butter on top. Dip them in ranch .the Cole slaw is tasty as well it's not overly sweet to me or to tangy. The waitresses I've had have always been down to earth and nice. This place is definitely a togo spit for some good fried chicken at a decent price. read more

Not the same since new owners have taken over. Acrid oil and their process does not produce the same juicy and flavorful chicken. Before the change the chicken was sublime. I used to buy hundreds of chicken pieces per month for lunch at my place of work--now it's not just another memory of a former glorious Dearborn gone to hell. read more

The chicken was OK just not very flavorful. And although it is called broasted, it really tasted like it was just fried with no breading. Roasted potatoes that came with it were definitely fried with no breading and not much flavor. The service was great - very friendly and prompt. The ambience was meh - I ordered my food to go, but I could tell that the dining room and especially the carpet was due for a good deep cleaning. read more

Been looking for a place to get good perch for years, and found it just five minutes from my house. A hot day, but courteous and quick service (the heat makes a difference in a fry joint). I had the small plate with cole slaw and onion rings, take-out. Still hot when I got home! I reckon I'll be back. read more

I've been coming here since I was little. As always the roasted chicken was fresh and delicious. The cole slaw is one of my favorites around (unique since the cabbage is ground up). We enjoyed wedge potatoes and onion rings. Just a heads up, the dining room closes at 8:30, but the carryout counter was open until 9:30pm. Still with short hours since Covid, maybe there isn't enough staff. The cashier was friendly and efficient. read more

Haven't had anything from Mr Chicken in quite a while and thought I would give it another try. BIG MISTAKE!! I ordered the wing dings and the ribs. The windings were something you'd buy at the dollar store... They were that nasty! They were more like pigeon wings than chicken wings... There was no meat on them. They looked nasty and they tasted nasty. The ribs were sort of OK but had a lot of fat on them. The fries were undercooked...the only decent thing was the cole slaw. I don't know what happened to this place, but they used to be really good. I will not be going back. I would rather much have something from chicken shack, even if I have to drive further!!!!!! Their food is a whole lot better!! read more

The best fried chicken with full of flavors and so crispy. Great service and plenty of room to sit. Most people will take them to go.

The best broasted chicken hands down and has been for a good 20 years I know for sure! This is way better than Chicken Shack and I have always been devestated that there isn't an east location. Driving from Rochester Hills is a bit much! The chicken is JUICY! The coleslaw is wayyy better than KFC! Broasted potatoes are great too! The only downside is the waitresses are kids and they truly do not care to have that job. My waitress completely ignored me, took forever for her to come wait on us and there weren't many people in at the time. There were 2 waitresses and they both were slow, inaccurate, and careless. I would have much rather served myself with their attitudes. Get the carryout! read more

The perch is ALWAYS my go to for good fried fish! Their coleslaw is slamming! There ribs are fabulous too! (Mom's fav)

The crust was soggy and it lacked flavor. The potato wedges were humongous. Got full off one tator. The coleslaw was good, had nice tangy flavor, read more

It's been years since I've had Mr. Chicken, and it is even better than I remembered. The breasts are so juicy. They have the best pressure fried chicken, and beat the other chicken places. read more

As long as I've been coming here, I can't believe I haven't reviewed Mr. Chicken. The place is very unassuming, small inside and very basic decor, but that's not what it's about here. The waitresses are always so friendly and willing to help you navigate what to order if you aren't sure. Now to the more important things, the chicken. I absolutely love their broasted chicken. The flavors are on point. Whether it's dark or white meat, I think you will enjoy it. Their coleslaw is to die for. Sometimes I go there just to get a side of it. I really enjoy their potato wedges as well. They are always cooked perfect. I have had their ribs there, but to be honest, not a huge fan of the ribs. The chicken is wear it's at. For good broasted chicken and exceptional sides, as well as, friendly service, Mr. Chicken is a good place and prices are very reasonable as well. read more

On a search for Good Fried Chicken without hitting any Fast Food Chains. Didnt want to just buy a bucket and make sides, didnt want to get it to go, didnt want to spend an arm an a leg. After searching and reading Menus, I found Mr. Chicken. Close enough, had been around for years, reviews were ok, menu had a bucket deal with sides and had fried mushrooms as an appetizer; i was sold. This is one of those places you drive by and dont pay attention to. We walked in, seated ourselves in the old carpeted dining room, and were attended to quickly. Given a menu that i looked over, even tho i knew i was getting the 8 pc Bucket Deal that came with fries/wedges and coleslaw. Good thing i looked again tho, I saw we could ask for half fries and half wedges. Sounds good to me, I want to try both. Waitress took our order, I said half and half please, she closed her order book and said a pint of coleslaw comes with. We ordered the Score 4 which is fried onion rings, cauliflower, mushroom and zucchini. Amazing. While we waited I watched as numerous carry outs came and left, and the dining room filled up almost completely. Food came out literally in 10 minutes. All together. A bowl of Chicken and Rice cuz i need to try soup everywhere. It was good, a bit salty but good. Small loaf of bread Now, The sheer amount of potatoes on that plate was astounding. The wedges were piled up and fries were stacked. And the coleslaw? Yeah that pint was HUGE. Falling out of the bowl, finely miced and super wet. More than enough for us 2, more than enough for 6 probably. We ate and ate and it still didnt put a dent in it. Now the reason for our visit, the Chicken was FANTASTIC. Crusty, Crispy, flavorful and moist. Hot and juicy and flavorful. Pieces weren't huge but just the right size. We each ate 2 pieces and honestly could have went for another but we wanted leftovers haha. Next time ill get the 12 piece lol. It's one of those places you never go, but once you do, youll always go back. read more

Service is top notch . Food is excellent! Don't forget to order the zucchini strips.

Everything came to the table freshly cooked and steaming hot. We had chicken, fries, onion rings, coleslaw and dinner rolls. Everything was delicious and we have zero complaints. Even the Coke was really good. The servers were nice too. Five stars to this low key but delicious restaurant. read more

Not too much to say, I've been here about 20 times. The ribs and great, tender fall off the bone and the chicken is moist and crispy. read more

I usually eat at my desk, reading emails as I munch on a salad or the weekly special. However, when my friend suggested that we continue our fried chicken odyssey at lunchtime on a recent Friday, I was totally game. We rarely take time out for lunch (maybe five times a year) so this was a double-treat. The restaurant looks like a throwback to the 60s, with extraneous walls blocking the view, unlike more updated spaces, acoustic ceiling tiles, and tight booths. I had glanced at the menu prior to the visit but all thoughts of healthier eating disappeared when my friend announced she would be having the 4-piece Chicken Dinner. That sounded too good to pass up. The chicken was lightly battered and seasoned. Crisp and crunchy, the chicken was steaming hot and juicy. It was perfectly cooked. Yum. The dinner comes with two sides. I selected the onion rings, because, onion rings. The coleslaw was slightly sweet, not too creamy and not too vinegary. It was a refreshing complement to the meal. In an effort to minimize calories, a long-ago article in the NYT indicated that the calories in a rotisserie chicken breast without the skin is only slightly less caloric than that of fried chicken breast without the skin. So there, a way to enjoy this meal without the massive guilt. The server was chatty and friendly. We felt that she went out of her way to make our visit special. read more

Mr Chicken - Look at the meaty chicken thighs! Lightly battered and crispy chicken with crunchy onion rings and yummy slaw. - American Near Me - Dearborn Heights, Michigan

Have a craving for chicken- order from here & it's ready in 12 minutes! You place to carry out order Tasty, hot & cooked through! You can get the potatoes as wedges or fries or a mix of the two (great for families!!) read more

I have been going to Mr. Chicken for years and i have never had a bad experience. The customer service is always on point and the food is fresh and warm. Not to mention they have the best damn ranch i have ever had. If you are looking to eat some good chicken, this is the place. read more

Here chicken...chicken... Come out and play!!! (Weird I know) Ok for people saying the ranch is oh so good - true but it isn't an extra 84 cents good for a small size container. (No thank you next time) I think this place is very reasonable especially their side of onion rings - the small to me looks like a large and that's all you would need unless you are sharing which I usually don't do. Yes i'm greedy so sue me!!! I've eaten at many chicken spots and unfortunately they usually need seasoning added which I HATE - ugh but this place here has me sold. Its nothing you need to do but just eat them; as of right now i've been getting a carry-out which only takes about 10mins and the food isn't sitting under a light or anything. You can see the guys in the back cooking away. Thanks for giving good service. **Also try there apple-dutch pie (Yummy)** read more

Came here with my husband for the first time last Friday. During Lent we try to find a new place for Fish & Chips each Friday. This week I picked Mr. Chicken. We were meeting my sister and her fiance, so I wanted to find somewhere closer to them. I looked up F&C on Yelp search, and Mr. Chicken was one of the places that popped up. Out of all the places listed - and all the reviews I read - this seemed like the best bet. I also thought my nieces and nephew were coming, so I had to steer away from bars. They didn't end up coming, so I could've easily picked a bar. Oh well...next time for sure! My sister said her work orders Mr. Chicken quite a bit, their chicken is delicious, but she had never been here either. I can tell you when we walked in the place it smelled heavenly! I really wanted to take part in some chicken action, but I restrained myself and ordered fish. I was actually looking forward to the fish though so it wasn't too big of an upset. We ordered the Fried Pickle Spears as an appetizer, and they were spectacular! They're comparable to other places I've tried, but they weren't so piping hot you couldn't eat them! They were served with a side dish of Ranch (which was pretty fantastic) and a few packets of cocktail sauce. Different, but maybe it would taste alright? I don't know...I stuck with good ol ranch! So I learned that the "dinner" choice comes with 3 pieces of fish, and the "snack" comes with 2 pieces of fish. You get a choice of 2 sides with both the dinner and the snack. The soup was Campbell's Clam Chowder. The salad was an Iceberg salad. I believe applesauce and cottage cheese were also side options, which neither appealed to me. So I went with the potato (fries) for 1 side, and coleslaw for my 2nd side which I ended up giving to my husband since I can't eat cabbage. We all ordered the fried cod (dinner) with fries, but my sister ordered the wedges. I tried one of her potato wedges and it was pretty awesome. Could've used a little more salt, but I liked them alot. I thought they were better than the fries, which were pretty standard - not the crispy kind. The fish was pretty good, and that was PIPING HOT! You definitely had to wait a little bit before taking a bite. I'm pretty sure all 4 of us said we burned our mouth/tongue on the fish. Not bad, just good to know if you've never been here. The cod fillets weren't the beer battered crispy kind. The batter was very thin - almost like a skin - and fell of the fish easily. It wasn't bad and it definitely tasted good, but I prefer the crunchy, beer battered fish fillets. Our waitress was great. She kept our drinks full, our tables cleared, and helped us with any questions we had regarding the menu. She was pretty cool. Service was quick & good. Fish & fries were average. I'm sure if I came back and had their chicken my rating would bump up a star for sure. read more

Food was delicious! service was nice and there facility was clean! Would recommend to try it!

The most awesome chicken I've ever had! This place has been around for years and it's still the same! Scrumptious

When you have that craving for fried chicken (or fried food in general), you can't go wrong with Mr. Chicken. The chicken has a nice non-spicy batter. Meals come with two sides, which can include soup or salad as well as more traditional sides. I highly recommend the onion rings if you can eat them while they're fresh from the fryer. The interior decorating is a bit dated but what do you really expect from a broasted chicken place? This is an excellent choice to pick up large servings for a party. Also, they're open pretty late most nights so a good option for a late meal when everything else is closed. read more

The staff is friendly and professional. My food has always been fresh/hot, and I've been patronizing since the early 90's.

Their chicken is so good. Service is great. Would suggest this restaurant for anyone looking for great breasted chicken.

The chicken is really great! Used them because the chicken place i normally use was closed, this place game through in a pinch! It was delish! They are a little pricey but it's really good!!! Would recommend read more

We received thee most anorexic chicken tenders I've ever seen. They have no issues up charging for extra tenders but give tenders that are nugget sized. Give your patrons their monies worth or you'll lose a ton of business! read more

I am shocked and chagrined that it has taken me so long to try this place. It was a perfect place after walking over from a couple of buildings down, beautiful night, full of big boy juice and needing some protein covered in breading.... lo and behold I found it. We ordered the 4 piece chicken dinner with cole slaw (co slaw as some have said in my past). Now i will say I wasn't especially thrilled with the slaw, as i do fancy myself a bit of connoisseur, so much so that I had to spell check but whatever, don't judge me. I'm not sure if it is the acid to fat balance but there was a bitterness to it that I wasn't especially fond of, thus the one star drop. Now on to the main event. The delicious, melt in your mouth, makes you want to get up and take off your shirt and rub your belly it's so good chicken. The breading was perfect, it was crispy on the outside, snapped at the bit and the inside was soft, tender and full of belly filling happiness. As i don't get to Dearborn anywhere near enough, it's always great to find a spot that you love and want to come back to. This is one of those spots. Boom shakalaka boom! Hopefully I will get a chance to try another side and pump this rating up to a 5. Still love it though. read more

Nothing has changed. Since the pandemic this place has took a nose dive in its food. Chicken is burnt, grease is old and chicken has lost it's good taste. Potato's are burnt. I thought I'd try it one more time and nothing has improved. Cole slaw is still yummy but it's not worth it for me to spend another dime there just for the cole slaw. I'm try again whatever year we get out of the pandemic but for now I'm done! read more

Food is good, portions are generous and it was hot and ready in ten minutes. However, they're one of those places that fills you to-go cup to the top with ice, so you wind up paying over $2 for about 8oz of pop in a 24oz cup. Also, there are staff is not wearing masks during a pandemic. If it wasn't for that and the ice thing, I'd give them five stars. read more

The best fried chicken in all of Michigan. The servers are on point and are always cheerful and friendly. The cashiers are always very accommodating. The fried chicken is cooked just right. Their Diet Coke is the best. The owner is a nice man and always greets his customers. Go there, great food. Order the 3 piece snack, for the money it's cheap and delicious. read more

Meaty and crispy, just really excellent chicken. They have ribs, shrimp and fish but seriously, just go for the specialty of the house, the chicken. This is broasted chicken at its finest with good flavor. Deliciously juicy and crunchy without all the grease of frying. Sides run decent to good but the star of the show is hot, perfectly seared golden chicken. We did half and half, half fries and half broasted potatoes. We were fairly evenly divided on which was the superior option. I will vote for the broasted potatoes myself. The cole slaw was loved by my dad and mom and I thought it was nice-ish enough I guess...but ummm pass me more chicken instead please. You cannot go wrong with a bucket of this stuff. Not too spendy at all, you can get a 12 piece bucket with the works for under 20 bucks. Not bad for four people. More hungry? A 16 piece will set you back around 24 smackeroos to go. I will tell you eating in seems a very appealing option after travelling home smelling the deliciousness. I wanted to pull the car over and dive in. Your belly will thank you even if your arteries are clogged after. read more

Ate in here the other day with a friend of mine and it was an alright experience. I'm not downgrading the stars because the buckets of chicken are so good but I'd give this particular experience about 3 stars. The staff is lovely and super friendly, and if you get the chicken I'm sure you'll be plenty happy but this time around I decided to go with the chicken sandwich which came with a pretty sad iceberg salad (although I will say the ranch was QUITE tasty). The chicken sandwich itself was pretty plain. Just a fried chicken patty on a bun with a packet of mayo and some lettuce and tomato. The lettuce, again, was that standard iceberg and the tomato was a winter tomato--you know the kind, it's mushy and not quite ripe. I'm picky about tomatoes because my mom grows such amazing ones in her backyard in the summertime so most tomatoes don't hold a candle, especially the winter ones (they could be grown by magical holiday elves and I'd still probably be snooty about it). The chicken was actually quite good but it just made me wonder why I didn't just order the chicken meal since that's what's what I love. Save myself some calories on the bun, you know? (hey, it's not much when you're eating fried chicken but at least it's something!) The french fries were pretty good and I found myself dipping them in the leftover salad ranch. Admittedly not my healthiest hour but there you have it. The prices, as always, were pretty darn cheap and made treating my friend to lunch not a terrible bank breaking experience. I'm still definitely planning on eating here again and again but this time I'll stick to the classic fried chicken! read more

Food was good as usual will recommend it to anybody any day of the week. Always hot and fresh. Good service. Have a blessed holiday go there when you get a chance. Food is really good. read more

Mr. Chicken is where you want to go for good chicken. This place looks old, feels old, has old people working here, but the chicken is on a whole different level. You don't want to just drive by this place, you better stop in and pick up some chicken, and always get the broasted potatoes. You will not be disappointed! read more

As first timers to Mr. Chicken, having heard the raves from numerous people, we wanted to try a little of everything. I'm sure people walking by our table, groaning with enough food for a hungry family of four, thought we were expecting company. Nope just us, but thanks. Here's how it ranked: Chicken Breast (3 pieces in the dinner, with 2 sides for $12) - 4 stars Chicken Thighs (2 come with the Chicken and Cod dinner, with 2 sides for $9) - 3 Coleslaw (my side - Ken didn't love it) - 3 stars Cod - 2.5 stars Broasted Potatoes (my side - neither one of us really loved it) - 2.5 stars Onion Rings (Ken's side, along with cottage cheese, which will go unranked) - 2 stars 4 Bone Snack (wow, these were not good) - 1 star So... we're still looking for the place with the best broasted chicken. Shabby, but painfully clean interior. Decent-sized parking lot. read more

I stopped in here for lunch on a tight schedule. I asked the lady who was prepared to seat us if it was fast, and she assured me it was. The chicken was GREAT. Possibly the best I've had in Michigan. I ordered the snack size with potato wedges on the side. The chicken was juicy and flavorful and I could probably go with three pieces instead of the side next time - the potato wedges were dry and lacked flavor. My biggest complaint? We waited more than 20 minutes for our fried chicken and we were late for our meetings. One of my coworkers had to ask (last-minute) for his food to go. I plan to go back to Mr. Chicken when I have plenty of time, and maybe try a slab of ribs or a 4-piece chicken a la carte. I'm sure this place is amazingly good for carrying out a bucket. read more
