Famous Fried Chicken

I drove past this place a couple of times during my lunch breaks. To be perfectly honest I thought it was a Gus's fried chicken because it has the word "Famous" in its name, which was my mistake. But I came here anyway, so figured I would at least give them a chance. First impression of this joint wasn't good. It looks like any dime a dozen take out place in metro Detroit. I can't imagine the inside has seen much renovations over the years. Getting past that I ordered the 2 piece chicken lunch special (included a side of slaw, roll, and mashed potatoes w/chicken gravy) which totalled a little over $9. I was not getting my hopes up, so I was pleasantly surprised to find the food was quite good. Chicken was juicy enough, well seasoned and just the right temperature. All the sides were able to hold their own and complement the rest of the meal. Even the roll was quite fluffy and tasted like it was just made a few minutes ago even though it probably came just out of the microwave. Nothing about this meal was screaming best chicken lunch/dinner ever, but it did hit the spot well enough and the dude running the place was very polite and got my order out quickly. This should be a solid 3.5/5 if Yelp did half stars, but they deserve the 4 just because the food was unexpectedly good and reasonably priced. I will admit there is a good chance this shop is not consistent like that. However this one experience alone (minus the decor) is all I can go off of.

WORST PLACE EVER! Save yourself the time and PASS right by this dump. I walked in, searching for some good fresh fried chicken only to receive OLD FOOD. By the time I checked the food, I was already to my destination. The bread was MOLDED and GREEN. The chicken had a sour smell. When the short Caucasian man with grey hair took my card, he then asked me who the food was for. NONE OF HIS BUSINESS! Nosey. Please do not go to this place. I only chose one star bc it would not let me post without it.

One of the best chicken places you'll find in Oakland county. If you haven't had broasted chicken before you are definitely missing out but make sure to go to Famous Chicken! Not only is it very good but the prices are reasonable too...and the owner is very kind. I typically just get the chicken. The selection of sides are ok but the chicken by itself makes the trip over worth it. My family has been coming here for going on 20 years!

Chicken is GOOD!!!!!, their bbq sauce is good too.It's just weird to me that there is never no noise coming from the back where the food is being cooked. Most of the time it's just 2 people working but there is never any noise and coming from the back. Food always is comes out extremely hot and crispy. Prices are not bad either.

Delicious and great value!I've been to some other chicken only type places and they are not only more expensive, but the pieces were small and quality not so good as you would expect...but here I thought the pieces of chicken were larger than most and you got a lot of value for the money.This is a carry out establishment but they have some seating to eat there, although it's mote of an area to wait for your order. This was my first time at this location, I can tell you I will be back!

Food was microwaved. Gave me zero options for sides. Old place nowhere to sit. It's apparent they don't want business. Save your money and go elsewhere.

Excellent fried chicken, each order is made fresh. No fillers, like dairy or whey. We've been a loyal customer for over 12 years.

When my friend's sister's husband died unexpectedly, many more people showed up at the house after the memorial than we estimated would join us. We were so grateful for the fresh, hot food we ordered from Famous Fried Chicken. The owner is a warm, friendly wonderful man !! This is the place to go for your special occasion party food needs !!

The chicken is decent the customer service is poor. The owner makes you feel like he is doing you a favor selling his food to you. His wife who doesn't speak English very well messed up my order. I called him back and he told me the next time I come in he would not charge me for the missing item. When I returned the next week he said I should have brought my order back. I have never returned to patronize this restaurant again. This is just one incident of poor customer service and I am certain it is others.

I have been to this location quite a few times but the last 2 times were not good so are they website it says they close at 9:00 p.m. so when I got there it was like 8:25 8:30 he says to me and my friend were closed so he had like 20 minutes or so to make us something to eat so clearly he didn't want our business so we left. I gave it another shot went there on Saturday October 1st their signs in the door and on the window that says open on the hours it says they open up at 11:00 well I'm assuming he opened up early on October 1st will I walk in and he says I'm not open yet I'm like well why do you have the door unlocked if you're not open then he goes to say I apologize it's going to take a while and he couldn't at least took my order I could have ran next door or went down to the gas station but he showed no customer service at all clearly didn't want my business for the day but why do you have your open signs showing on the window and door and the door unlocked if you don't open until 11:00 that was the last straw I will not be patronizing this establishment ever again.
