Ordered chicken and tenders for a party, in Jan. The chicken was delicious. And they had my order ready at the time I needed it.

I hardly ever see any Brown's chicken restaurants anymore, so when I saw this one, I knew I had to risk narrowly causing a minor accident just to swerve through several lanes of traffic to make a quick detour here. I placed my order through the drive-thru, and after a bit of a wait, I received my food. Had a long commute home, but the chicken was still warm and crunchy when I arrived. I ordered the 8pc meal with 3 large sides (corn fritters, mashed potatoes and gravy, and stuffing) and a 1/2lb of chicken livers. Starting off with the fried chicken, the batter and skin were phenomenally crunchy and well-seasoned, and the meat was tender and perfectly cooked. The seasoning and batter mix were on the milder side but still present on the palette and not overwhelming, which I prefer over the aggressive seasoning some other fried chicken locations use. The chicken livers were out of this world. Chef's kiss. A. Crunchy breading on the outside, and rich, creamy, vaguely minerally, soft, and perfectly cooked liver on the inside. Once again, beautifully seasoned. The mashed potatoes were flavorless and tasted like it came from a poorly-funded high school cafeteria, but the gravy made up for it with its bit of saltiness and umami subtlety to complement the blandness of the mashed potatoes. The stuffing was compact and dense. Although not quite so visually appealing, it was decent enough. It was pretty generic in terms of flavor and dour when it comes to presentation, but it was also elevated, yet again, by a bit of the gravy poured over it. The corn fritters were interesting, and I mean that in a good way. It's basically a hush puppy with powdered sugar sprinkled over it. I have never had a corn fritter prior to today and was pleasantly surprised by its deep-fried, corny goodness. Crunchy with a faintly sweet exterior and a slightly moist and mealy internal texture with bits of whole corn kernels spread around. Gonna have to give that a try with the gravy, as well. Overall, the food was good. It brought back some fond memories. Had me feeling nostalgic afterward since it's been so long since I've last eaten Brown's Chicken, which was when I was just a wee Puppers, and am now a middle-aged Werewolf, so that was quite nice. Thanks for the good food, good service, and the fun trip down memory lane! I'll definitely be paying another visit. Cheers!

This was my first time here and the food was good and the portions are definitely fair this place is a bit hard to find, it's next to Jiffy Lube and across the street from 7-Eleven and a burrito place also you can't miss the giant Home Depot across the street. Brown's chicken comes up a bit different but the main street in front is schmale rd Carol Stream Illinois. I definitely appreciate all the Fantastic meal deals so you don't even need a coupon and saving money is definitely a plus. I noticed remodeling so the dining room is closed but I look forward to when it opens and also they have video gaming which I don't gamble but if you do it's definitely a nice place to relax and gamble in a peaceful atmosphere

We have been going to this location for about 15 years off and on and I don’t think we’ve ever been disappointed. Crunchy, flavorful chicken, the fried livers are still good with the breading staying on.

Ordered from drive thru and had the Honey Hot boneless wings , onion rings and my boyfriend had Spicy tenders , Mac & cheese and mashed potatoes. We live close to 40 min away and by the time we got home the food was STILL FRESH AND TASTY. You definitely have to give the new lemonade mix in flavors a try . Each item was extremely delicious!!! KFC who??? We will be coming back because we loved everything!!!

This location has been around ever since I can remember. The menu while somewhat extensive, always comes up fresh to order, which might have you waiting a couple minutes. Well worth the wait. The staff is friendly and attentive. Never had a bad experience, better than the other chains of fried chicken around. The fried mushrooms are a nostalgic thing for me, always consistent and give me flashbacks to my childhood. Thanks for always being there Brown's.
