Loved everything about this place. The service was excellent. Everyone was friendly. The food was good. We had broasted chicken and a California Burger. Chicken was tasty and juicy. Comes with lots of choices of potatoes- mashed were yum. The burger was small but really hit the spot and was only $3.59. Definitely better than McDonalds. Not far off 35, @ 3 miles. Worth it!! read more

The burger was great, and all the people were so patient on me, I loved it so much. Will be there again.

Very good chicken, we were traveling through the area & stopped for lunch. It was delicious!! I would go again if ever in the area.

The food was fantastic, as always. While sitting in the lobby waiting for my food, a young man with developmental disabilities came to the counter to order food. He was chatty, they were busy and I was a little worried that they were just going to brush him off. He seemed a little nervous, too (maybe the first time he'd ordered and paid by himself?). They were kind, friendly, and seemed to sincerely enjoy their conversation with him. He was grinning from ear to ear when he left. A great way to start the weekend. read more

What a find! Thank you IExit! Clean, friendly, fast, efficient, inexpensive and EXCELLENT. Best chicken I have had in a long time. Four piece meal for under $10! You know when you go and there is no grease taste. When the skin is light and crisp. When the coleslaw is creamy, the potato's are perfect and the roll fresh???? A bonanza! We were asked multiply times how things were and offered fresh water twice. I love it. Sorry , no food photos. Too hungry. No leftovers... read more

What's not to love about broasted chicken? If you've never had it, find some and try it!! (broasting is basically pressure cooking, in oil) I grew up on the chicken from the Brass Rail in Grandy, MN, and while I still prefer that to all others, The Broaster is right up there. Back in MN visiting family in Faribault, it was a must have at least one time. Unfortunately their Yelp presence is minimal, so girlfriend just suggested getting an eight-piece family meal. I drove to the restaurant; there was only one other car in the drive-thru so I placed my order and pulled around. We got all dark, with slaw and tots. The order was ready in just a couple minutes. $31.99 seemed a little high, but I guess it's just more Bidenomics in action. The chicken was tender, juicy, and flavorful. Tots were crispy and lightly seasoned. Slaw also had good flavor, and just the right amount of liquid. Window service could have been a little friendlier, and availability of a take home menu would have been appreciated. Otherwise, great all around. read more

Awesome chicken, friendly staff. Restaurant is clean and comfortable. Definitely will make the drive again!

I had the special for lunch today and it hit the spot. The chicken/ Shrimp special was served in a very timely manor, in a very clean eating area, and the staff was very friendly and very polite! Did I mention that the food tasted great Their Covid19 procedures are great! I feel very safe getting food from this place! read more

The Broaster - The chicken/ shrimp special! - New American Near Me - Faribault, Minnesota

I live only about 12 miles from The Broaster and I can't believe I'd never stopped here before. I've always heard good things about it, but it's even a little better than I expected. You order from the counter and then they bring it to your table. The options are burgers, fish, and shrimp, but I'm sure it's the chicken that has built their reputation. I ordered the cod dinner but I couldn't leave without trying the chicken, so I got a drumstick and thigh too. The dinners come with cole slaw, a roll and a potato choice, The cod was fine, with white flakey meat and thin batter. I wish it had a little more flavor. The crinkle-cut fries were good, but I regretted not trying the mashed potatoes and gravy. My two pieces of chicken were excellent.The batter had a nice flavor and just the right amount of crunch, it didn't explode like you were biting into a pinecone. The prices are good. Service was very friendly, and the interior was clean and bright, with lots of big windows. I'll be adding this to my list of frequent lunch destinations. read more

Food was amazing and the price was well worth it. Nice and tidy eating area and friendly service.

Driving through Faribault, we found The Broaster on Yelp. Our GPS didn't do well finding the place. There's also no sign. When we finally found it, we weren't sure it was open. Luckily it was. It's a counter service restaurant. You order and pay and they bring the food to your table. My husband and I ordered the 4 piece chicken dinner to share. It was great broaster chicken. Some pieces were a little hotter than others, but it was all crisp and well seasoned. The chicken itself was tender and juicy. It came with a standard roll with "spread". I'm a butter girl. Nothing to write home about. We had fries, crinkle cut and hot. It also had coleslaw which was tasty and creamy. My mom was along and ordered the cod dinner with a baked potato and coleslaw. The fish had a light batter and tasted fresh. The menu said three pieces but came with four pieces. Our total was $21 which included a soda for Mom. We had water. A tasty little stop. My recommendation is that the put up some kind of sign. read more

The Broaster is my go-to spot for a fast food burger & fries. I will happily wait the time and pay the price for a Broaster burger over a McDonald's burger. I would also recommend the broasted chicken, mashed potatoes, and coleslaw. In the summertime they use to make chicken salad croissants that were to die for.. but I believe they have since removed the menu item. read more

This broasted chicken is juicy and flavorful yet not greasy at all. It seems like fried chicken off the bat but it's slightly different. Definitely something worth trying once or twice. We had the family pack which gets you a fully loaded meal for 3-4 people for around $22. It includes 4 dinner rolls, 2 sides (cole slaw and potato salad), 8 piece chicken, and a plate of fries. This is a good value. The only reason I'm holding back that 4 star is the texture of the chicken was somewhat inconsistent. I found a few slightly rubbery spots but overall you mostly get juicy and moist chicken. read more

Love the chicken. The crisp on it allows the juices to keep inside. Like having the option for baked potato. The service is so-so. I find it odd the receipts have a spot for tip on a drive thru. Oh and Get a new drive-thru board. This one has done it's time. read more

Great place to get good chicken, cod and shrimp. Restaurant itself is very plain but it doesn't matter because the food hits the spot.

Great little place to get broasted chicken. They have French fries, onion rings, tots, mashed potatoes and gravy or potato salad and Cole slaw to go with the meal. I have ate there several times and the food is always good and fresh. If you are in a hurry call ahead for pickup. read more

The chicken was amazing. The flavor, the texture, the size-it was all scrumptious. Had the white meat with coleslaw, roll and a baked potato. You are able to choose what kind of Potato you would like. We are from out of state and will make this a must stop place when we travel to MN. Excellent flavorful food. Well done. read more
