Maryland Fried Chicken — Restaurant in Pompano Beach

This is the worst fried chicken I have ever eaten in my life!!!! It was very dry and luke-warm. I went there for the first time today with my family on a recommendation from my husband's brother. I went to the bathroom while the lady upfront fixed our plates which was from the chicken and fries that had been obviously sitting there for hours waiting for someone to come buy it. There were no customers in the restaurant eating. No one. That always tells me how good a place is when you walk in and no one is there eating. So when I went to the back to use the bathroom I had to ask a lady (on her cellphone) where the bathroom is located. I noticed a bunch of fried chicken and French fries sitting in pans. It was already cooked just sitting there waiting on customers to come in. There was so much chicken but no customers. But I didn't get any fresh chicken. No, I got the chicken that had been sitting there getting dry and old. It's a disgrace that I paid $35 and got dry, disgusting chicken. I gave a one star for service because if you can't take care of your customers then to me that is terrible service. This place honestly doesn't care about their customers or they would make sure that each customer who pays their hard earned money gets what they pay for. Customers should get hot fresh food that tastes delicious!!!! Atmosphere gets one star because I think having employees on their phones and food just sitting out in the open waiting on customers is not a good atmosphere. This...

I have been coming here for YEARS and I LOVE it!! An unassuming spot in my , (now ) hometown of Pompano. I heard they use a technique called "broasting" which I think is broiling and roasting , I'm not sure. But in a world with fly by night, gimmicky, overpriced food trucks and "pop up restaraunts", Maryland Fried Chicken is just good old fashion fried chicken. They dont need a tiktok or social media following, no advertising the food is just yum delish. The only other Maryland Fried Chicken I've seen is in my actual hometown of Easton, PA. I moved to Pompano in 1998 and have been coming here since then, was pleasantly surprised to see a "Maryland's" here!! I just saw the manager on TV in a clip and i must say I agree with him!!! LOVE LOVE this place, my ONLY wish (not a complaint) is that they had those cornfritters with the powder sugar like the Pennsylvania spot used to have (theyve shut down). I had some about a month ago after a good while of not having Maryland Fried Chicken and it was so fresh. A LOT of places that used to be good , disappoint these days. So many restaraunts are cutting corners because of inflated food prices--- Not Marylands I LOVE it. ** I was not paid to write this lol (complimentary 2 piece would be nice-- lol jk) , something reminded me of them and i was telling a friend how good they are and decided I had to show...

You have to be able to overlook the outside just to even try the place. If you look too hard, you’ll talk yourself out of it. But alas, I was visiting Boca & the reviews brought me here for content. The service was friendly & fast, which is why I gave 2 stars. As for the food, let me just say that there is a certain demographic of people in these reviews talking about it’s the best fried chicken they’ve ever had in their life. It’s far from that. We ordered a 5-piece wing dinner to share and 3 of them, the majority of the fries, and the roll went to the trash within 10 minutes. We couldn’t even make it through the meal. The chicken tasted fishy, unclean, and had no seasoning. The fries came out the grease & went straight in the box, not a single grain of salt or seasoning at all. The roll is straight out the pack. No frills, no fuss, and unfortunately no flavor. It’s seems to be a family owned spot so I won’t be creating any content on any other platforms, however, I’d be remiss if I didn’t post an honest...
