I really wanted to like Mr. Chicken. I'm in love with their sign. I moved to Dearborn last year and kept saying to myself that I need to try it. I got carryout from Mr. Chicken last night. I had the perch dinner, and my girlfriend had a chicken tender dinner. She said her tenders and fries were just okay. When she tried my fish, she said it tasted burned and the oil needed to be changed. The potato wedges were huge and fell apart on me. They needed salt and/or flavoring. I paid almost $20 and I don't think it was worth it. I grew up on Chicken Shack and was curious to try a similar establishment. Sorry, Mr. Chicken, but I will be sticking with the Shack. read more

The chicken was decent. I wasn't that impressed. I'm not sure what else to say about it. We took our meals back to our hotel, so a couple of forks and napkins in our bag would have been appreciated. They left out the condiments as well. The food wasn't bad, but it definitely didn't live up to the hype. read more

Mr Chicken - Front area of Mr. Chicken. - American Near Me - Dearborn Heights, Michigan

Great place to eat on way home from airport. I had chicken and ribs. My wife had chicken breast. Ribs were good, not fabulous. Sauce was not good. I would skip them next time and concentrate on the chicken. Cole slaw was good. I prefer larger pieces and creamier dressing, but this is more traditional. Wedge fries good, as were onion rings. Chicken was close to excellent. Nice crisp breading. Desserts uninspiring - skipped it. Why nothing homemade? And unfortunately, no liquor license. I like beer with fried chicken. Best part was Teri, our waitress. She has been there 18 years! Great service! read more

Mr. Chicken, I love you so. From your broasted potatoes, to your french fries, to your home style ranch. Your chicken gives me cravings at night. If only I enjoyed your slaw. My husband adores it but I think it tastes soapy. To each their own. If you want quick, friendly, service, and a big ol' bucket of broasted chicken, this is the place for you. I'm really glad you are around, my favorite comfort food. read more

Best. Chicken. EVER. (Broasted, not fried... so better for you!?!) Ribs, coleslaw, mozzarella sticks, shrimp... seriously everything is amazing. Highly suggest ordering for a house party or event. Also, if you like ranch dressing, don't leave without trying it... or taking home a gallon. :D read more

Mr Chicken - American Near Me - Dearborn Heights, Michigan

Honestly I feel like the chicken fell off. It's just not good anymore. The company needs to reevaluate the way they cook their chicken. Just my opinion. read more

Always fresh, always great customer service, always a good value ...I've been going to this location and their other location on Plymouth rd. and they are really good too.. read more

Amazingly friendly staff!! Amazingly delicious food! Fresh bread at your table. I had the catfish. It was sooooo good!! It's an old school joint. Don't expect servers in tuxedos. However, expect some really damn good food. Great portions as well. One of the few chicken places that does it 100% right!! read more

Came here with my father for lunch. It had literally been years since I've eaten here. The food was even better than I remembered. The chicken was piping hot. The skin was crispy without too much batter. The chicken was juicy and flavorful. I had the potato wedges and my father had the french fries. Again, both items came piping hot and were very tasty. The wedges were perfectly browned on the outside and the inside was soft and fluffy. They give a nice serving of Cole slaw. It was fresh and had the perfect amount of sweetness. I absolutely love Cole slaw and I could not finish it all. The 3-piece dark meal was so filling. My only recommendation would be regarding the drinkware. The cups/mugs appeared to be very old. I think it's time for them to replace. Other than that, I will be returning. read more

Seriously wow. Amazing chicken. Almost as good as grandmas. It's juicy and tender. Hot. I'm a hot food guy and it is hot. I got the ribs and slaw and onion rings too. Deeeeelicious. The ribs are meaty and again, hot. Prices are a bit steep in comparison to other chicken joints buts it's not It fast food. I got mine to go and ate it in the Airstream. I'll be back! read more

Mr Chicken - Friendly cooks and boy are they hard working. The decor is not fancy and it is worn out but the food makes up for it. - American Near Me - Dearborn Heights, Michigan

This place is an old time favorite. We have been coming here for over 30 years? We love the chicken and fish, never know which one to get, sometimes my wife and I each get a different one and split. Their broasted potatoes are to die for. Maybe I'm just simple, but this is "Simply the best- better than all the rest" You gotta go! read more

Best chicken on the planet hands down. Don't go to the one on Plymouth road. Freaking discusting

Went in last night for the second time in about 10 days.Again got the broasted chicken,potato wedges and onion rings.The amount of food for the price was more than I expected both times.The food was beyond delicious and came out in less than 10 minutes.In these times when choices are limited it's great to find a place with friendly staff,good food and beyond fair pricing. read more

Dude, it's not called Mr. Rib, it's called Mr. Chicken. Actually... it's Master Chicken. All Hail Master Chicken. read more

Woo buddy, this is some chicken!! I've never had it carry-out, but when we dine in, the chicken comes up piping hot, and as juicy and tender as fully-cooked chicken can possibly be. The skin is golden, glistening, and packed with flavor, not just grease. My only gripe about this place is the lackluster sides. They're all pretty bland and boring, and really only take away valuable belly space that could be better spent on MORE CHICKEN!! read more

I lived about a mile from Mr. Chicken for about 11 years and loved it every time I ate there. Great chicken, no doubt. But this ain't no hipster skinless healthy organic joint. This is old school, crispy, grease dripping, hot from the broaster (what the hell is a broaster anyway?), having the munchies eating, sitting in your stomach for hours, regretting it later chicken. But it tastes so damn good, it's addictive. And I started calling it dog crack, because my dogs would literally go crazy and start drolling and jumping and freaking out whenever I brought it home. I don't blame them. It really is that good. Not cheap by any means. It'll cost you about 8 -10 dollars for a dinner, but, like I said, it's good to the bone. The coating is super flavorful and the chicken is moist and tender. A dinner comes with a tiny coleslaw (nothing special) and big helping of broasted (what the hell is a broaster anyway?) potatoes. I always like the potatoes, but others have told me they don't really dig them. Just big ass fat wedges of fried potatoes. What's not to like? So as long as you appreciate a big meal of fried goodness, go for it. Fast the next day or whatever you have to do to get the fat out of your body, if that bothers you. It never bothered me, personally. Eat it. Mr Chicken. Small family owned business. Give them some love. read more

In accordance with my meatatarian weekend, I went driving around following my nose. The added snow didn't help and thus gave me more reason to locate some meat. Ribs are just what the doctor ordered. I got myself a slab dinner for one with some fries and coleslaw. All for a little less than 15 bucks. There was a roll in there but I threw it out the window. The ribs were decent. The main problem I had with it was the super high fat content. Some sections were lacking meat and it was just biting into pork fat. This is not cool if you're expecting to be biting into meat. The sauce was a solid C+. It was nowhere near "brush your teeth with bbq sauce" good. The fries were meh and the coleslaw was good. It was a decent attempt. This place seems to specialize in broasted chicken, so I might give that a shot another time. The staff was pretty quick. Although, I was slightly nervous when they mentioned making a KFC run. My fears were alleviated when I found out they just wanted some biscuits. I just might give this place another shot in the near future. read more

The chicken gets 4 stars. The ribs only 2 stars. Worth going for the price and the chicken, but I would stay away from the ribs. The fried pickles aren't bad either, and the fries and cole slaw are pretty good. Not bad every once in a while, but not a regular place we go to. read more

This is fried chicken nirvana! Wow!! Stopped on a weekday afternoon. Nothing special in atmosphere but the chicken was outstanding. Crispy and juicy. Their homemade bbq sauce is a perfect touch. Cole slaw was very good. I sample fried chicken from all over, and this one of the best. Good service. read more

A solid local chicken and ribs spot. The chicken is tasty and the ribs aren't bad if you like them fall off the bone style and not proper southern bbq style (they're better than Boneyard in my opinion, because Boneyard ribs are too tough). The sides are all good, as well, but the potato wedges are frigging huge. I mean, YUGE, which I think is kind of a negative, but that's my opinion. One wedge is like half a potato. But yeah, I'd rather go here than KFC, but I'd still rather have Popeyes for just fried chicken. Also, they have rolls and bread instead of biscuits. That's a big negative to me. You can't have a fried yardbird and rib joint and not offer a biscuit on your menu. Anyway, this place is good and I've been here a few times. I'll probably be back if I'm in the area and craving chicken and ribs. read more

Mr. Chicken never disappoints. There broasted chicken is juicy, crispy and tasty. I like the onion rings too.

I LOVE Mr. Chicken! The chicken is incredible, cole slaw great, wonderful onion rings. I'm not a huge fan of the potato wedges, they're a bit bland but they're a side you can choose. When it comes down to it, I love the chicken here. The staff is friendly, if you order to go, it's quick. I would eat here almost everyday if a roasted chicken was super healthy food! Great chicken! read more

This is my favorite chicken place. The chicken is always fresh, the service is always great and they are always fast with pick-up orders. I have eaten in the dining room only once but I have no complaints about that either. The only thing that could make it better would be for them to start serving Mashed Potatoes. read more

Finally stopped into this place after passing it a million times in my life. I only got the wing dings for lunch but they were good. The food reminds me of Chicken Shack, with that being said I have nothing negative to say. The food was good, the workers were friendly. The restaurant looked clean. I did notice that the lady at the counter knew several people by name. This leads me to believe they have a lot of regulars or repeat customers which is a good sign. If he oven the chance I would probably visit again to try a different offering. read more

Bunch of us at work had Mr. Chicken today at work. Considering I'm still in the after-glow of my Faym-Us Chicken experience (http://www.yelp.com/biz/faym-us-chicken-clawson#hrid:xSEwklYh-95bEdYElbDNaA/src:self), I enjoyed the chicken but did not achieve food-gasm. The chicken was a tad soggy by the time it got back to the office, but the crust was still crisp-enough and flavorful. The only downside to the chicken was the outer 1/4" of chicken was a little leathery. The potato wedges were WAY overdone and WAY soggy; I only ate one. The slaw was minced, though flavorful. All in all I was satisfied, I'd go back. read more

My family has been going to Mr. Chicken since I was a little girl and now I bring my two boys here. We love this place. Its tradition for us. Love the food. Great chicken, ribs, hamburgers and coleslaw! Everything is yummy. Plus, we love the staff! Always the best! read more

Very good chicken. Love the wings! Awesome service and carry out. Just wish they had a good mac and Cheese :D read more

Got a 16 piece bucket carryout a few nights ago. After tax, just under $35. Called ahead and it was ready when we got there. Chicken was delicious as always. Comes with cole slaw (which something was off about) and fries or wedges. We got wedges. They give you a lot of wedges, but they are basically just quartered potatoes (broasted?) without a lot of flavor. Next time would get fries. read more

With impending doom approaching (the over exaggerated snowpacalypse '11) I decided to swing in for some take out on the way back home. I still do not understand what 'broasting' is but the product was good. I'm about 15 minutes away from this place but unfortunately between the Styrofoam container & the cellophane bag the food got a bit steamy and not so crispy :( Beyond this it was some damn fine chicken, will update once I dine in... read more

This chicken is awesome! The waitresses are super nice. They make sure to always refill your drinks (without having to ask -- most of time). The ribs and shrimp are not the greatest but the sign says "Mr. Chicken". Do yourself and your family a favor by taking them to Mr. Chcken to eat. read more

Absolutely loved this restaurant. The staff is super friendly and the chicken is the best I've had in a while. I'll definitely be returning any time I'm in the area. read more

I absolutely love Mr Chicken. The real secret though is the RIBS. And the Cole slaw. We had a few families get together for a Dearborn rib showdown. We got Mr Chicken, Bone-yard, and Westpoint. 7 of 7 voters picked Mr. Chicken. 2nd was Westpoint. Though to be fair, I think Mr Chicken are baby back so different animals, or rather different size animals!! Westpoint were close though!!! but Mr chicken had a slab for $13.99 which is unbelievable for the quality. They could call it mr ribs if they wanted. But the chicken is outstanding. read more

This location is our go- to place for crispy chicken. The staff is nice, and the place (while dated) is clean. Very consistent food quality, and good portion sizes for the price. Blows away KFC every day. When you go there, get the rice pudding! We have yet to be disappointed by this location. I go miles out of my way to get chicken here, instead of places closer to my house. read more

The owners a nice guy, but one of his employees is very racist. Food is over cooked, prices are cheap tho. You get what you pay for i guess.

A good stop for fried chicken. This place has been a bit of a family tradition so I get carry out from there from time to time. I also love the potato wedge fries. read more

Amazing Staff and Service , Best Chicken in Town . A must for dine in or carry out. Great for catering party's . Staff is always friendly. The coleslaw is always amazing. read more

Seriously the best chicken ever. Incredible every single time we come here. And the fried appetizers are always fresh and never frozen. Super yummy. But hands down the BEST chicken I have ever tasted in my life. And staff is always super nice and attentive, two younger waitresses from tonight were really great and nice, April and the I'm not sure the other one but I believe she is Latino and she is so sweet! Love this place! read more

My son and i ate at mr chicken last night i ordered rib and chicken combo he ordered wings no meat on wings ribs were burnt ive been eating here for yrs never had bad food but now ? Son dont want to go back they have changed the wings read more

Mr Chicken has been at this location for , it seems, 50 years. I grew up in the area and have been out of Michigan for over 30 years. Every time I come back to Michigan, two to three times a year, I always get chicken here at least a couple of times each trip. Their chicken is outstanding and we have never had any issue. Great service and outstanding chicken. Very surprising that this place is better than most fried chicken I have found living in the south for years. This is my first stop after I land in michigan , place a take out order bucket, nice and hot, open the top of the box to keep the crispness before I get to my family and enjoy some outstanding chicken, broasted potatoes and cole slaw. Or, sit down and eat in the restaurant , hot and crispy and moist chicken, great cole slaw and hot broasted potatoes with super service. read more

There is no doubt about this chicken, it is excellent! I can't say I am crazy about the rest of the menu, but when I have a last minute need to feed 50 to 100 people for one of my parties this is where I run to for the chicken. And once the mad dash and grab is done, all you can hear is happy eating noises all over the place. Get extra, cause you are going to want left over chicken. read more
