After ordering a 4 piece dinner with a double order of potato wedges, there was no way I was eating all of in one sitting. I’m here to say B & B wedges are good, but they don’t hold a candle to these wedges here. Friendly staff too. Definitely gonna come back here, give it a try, you won’t regret it.

What an awesome little place! I fed 5 people and one kid for less than 40 bucks! Roll of paper towels on each table for napkins was cool. Huge amount of different foods to choose from. Crispy chicken and not greasy... delicious! Country cooking at its best.

MFC is by far better than the chain competition. You get 9 pieces of fresh chicken, 2 sides, and rolls, for just a little over 30, where just down the hwy you’re looking at almost 50 unless you have a coupon. Staff is always very nice and the food is always homemade quality! We have been going here for years!! PS the pasta salad is my FAVE

Best chicken I've had for fast food in a long time. They have KFC, Bojangles and Popeyes beat! Wish they had more stores in my area. Hickory, NC location is the closest to me. But I will definitely be going back.

The food is great and we get excellent service everytime we go. We usually have a large order and we definitely tip, usually 20. They help bring our food out. It's always over filled and we love every bite!! Way better and cheaper than most chicken places.
