BROWN'S CHICKEN
We operate Brown’s stores serving cooked chicken, pasta, and Chicago-style sandwiches, including burgers, hot dogs, Italian beef, and sausage. Our menu is designed for customers looking for a casual meal to enjoy in the store, take home, or have delivered. We also provide catering for parties, business events, picnics, charitable functions, and similar gatherings. Depending on the location, a Brown’s store may be a dine-in restaurant or a carry-out unit in a free-standing building or strip center. In select locations, we also offer a certified Zabiha Halal menu prepared with separately sourced ingredients.
