Adios Mary Brown's, thanks for leaving a worthy replacement behind! I watched people walking in, expecting to order Mary Brown's chicken, but being unsure until other diners would encourage them by saying "this is better!" And better it is.
Sure, MB was a standard fast food chicken joint, with all of the salt and all of the saturated fats one comes to expect in, well, fast food! But Little Brother's kept enough of the favourites that the locals come to expect, and tossed in a few surprises.
For instance, the chicken is just as juicy, but less salty and less fatty. The 'taters' have been replaced with a fresh cut jumbo french fry in a very similar coating. But the wild card sides--garlic mashed, and the Buttered Bacon Corn is unusual, and a very welcome addition.
You will also find pulled pork and schnitzel on the menu, either as a sandwich or in a dinner. I tried the dinner, noting that this pulled pork was really flavourful and tender and went well with my Buttered Bacon Corn. Actually, everything goes well with the Buttered Bacon Corn!
Except maybe the Funnel cake or Deep Fried Mars Bar--yes, they are on the menu. I have not seen those outside of the EX or off a food truck.
