Stopped in here recently for a lunch of epic proportions. Started with the excellent rendition on baba ghanoush to accompany the freshly baked bread. For me, it's the winner over hummous wherever I go. Followed up with the lentil soup (perfectly acceptable on a cold winter day) and the downright awesome deboned chicken over the fatoosh. Chicken perfectly cooked and flavorful. Then, was brought out the chicken schwarma for a little compare and contrast. As good as the de-boned was, schwarma with all the crispy edges was even better. Dunked that in the garlic until I stumbled out in a food induced daze. One of the best Lebanese joints I've been to.

We order from Country Chicken at work once a month, and all of my coworkers are absolutely crazy about it. It's not the best lebanese I've ever had, but it gets the job done. The chicken schawarma sandwiches are okay, i recommend buying extra garlic sauce on the side because they seem to skimp on it inside the sandwich (they sell small containers for $.50, and large for $$2.00.) Go for the large. They seriously fill up a tub full of garlic paste, and it's extremely tasty. It is also the first garlic paste that doesn't have me hunched over all day with insane stomach cramps. Also, the few times I've gotten this sandwich there have been little to no pickles on it, so maybe ask for extra pickles as well. They have decent schawarma and falafel as well. Whenever calling in for an order, they seem super stressed out and I feel rushed most of the time. I'll definitely keep coming back because it's satisfying, but I definitely favor other lebanese restaurants over this one.

Country has been around for a long time and has had its ups and downs for sure. In their defense, I find it unfair that people go ahead and throw out a 1 star review because "my salad didn't have enough pita chips ". Boohoooooooo. Come on now. If you want extra pita chips, then ask for extra pita chips. If you don't have enough garlic paste then maybe you should request some more? I think people tend to complain about minor things and need to realize that's it's YOU, not the business who's making things crappy. Stop spending money in restaurants if you're going to complain about 50 cents for extra garlic. It's a business. Now Country isn't the best restaurant around nor are they going to change your life but they're alright. Fair pricing with above average food portions. Where else can you get a Whole Boneless Chicken (6 pieces) a large fattoush and a large Hummous for $21? No where. And I don't care what anyone says, they have awesome fattoush. Some of the reviews are right about the bread. When fresh, it's great but sometimes I have received bread that was a bit stale/hard. They need to be on top that. It should be fresh, always. The bread/garlic starter is too good to screwing it up. It's the first thing people eat. This place isn't perfect and they need a little of training in the customer service department. The food is decent. The portions are great. And the pricing is really fair. Stop being cheap.

Finally made my way to Dearborn for a Middle Eastern food adventure and the first stop was Country. It may have an odd name for a Middle Eastern restaurant, and it's name on Yelp (which is not the name on the sign) would lead you to think that the place specializes in fried chicken. I ordered the chicken shawarma sandwich with a side a tabouli. The sandwich was one of the best i've had of this variety and the tabouli was excellent as well. The pita was light and fluffy, and paired extremely well with the whiter than white garlic sauce. I wish I had a place like this closer to home, but at least I know where to get Middle Eastern food when I am in Detroit.

Ate here for the first time today on a recommendation from the owner of Junque Shop Antiques. I got the boneless chicken sandwich with tabouli, hummus, and garlic, and it was seriously one of the best things I've ever eaten. The flavor was full but balanced and just to die for. I'm already craving another! Carry-out service was very friendly and prompt. Can't wait to go back!
(5)Deb B.
Usually pretty fast but horrible today. Waited for 15 minutes while waitress stood around.
(1)Abbey M.
Something has changed here since my last visit... about 1 year ago. CONS #1. The famous garlic sauce lacked any garlic flavor. ??? It was swimming in oil and very separated. #2. Water and napkins. Asked 3 times...finished the meal dry and we shared a napkin. #3. Rice was wet and bland. #4. Meat was tender but where did that killer flavor go? #5. Service is poor. We didn't get water or napkins after 3 requests. We sat fo 20 minutes after completing our meal before the waitress came back and then we waited another 10 before she came back with our bill and boxes. No one else willing to help? Ive never experienced this before and when I make a special trip to enjoy the food and service , this is beyond disappointing. #6. FATOOSH. ...blah. PROS #1. The bread. OVERALL With such the dramatic changes. ..we won't be back. Too many other places out there!
(2)Jackie E.
The food has gone down hill it use to be good. It's very dirty we went there in February they had a bucket by our table to catch the water dripping from the ceiling. Wonder if the health department knows about this They should shut this place down.
(1)Kimberley S.
I'm so torn between Al-meer and this wonderful place. They have the BEST hummus and chicken shawarma dinner. mouth watering! Service is good, But honestly, Im here for the great good, and just as long as the food comes out and brought to me, Im in la la land LOL. Now if you want amazing chicken ghallaba you gotta go to Al-meer. Gees I cant decide. They are both amazing for the food!
(5)Ken Z.
Had lunch here today. Went with the chicken shawarma lunch special. Comes with choice of hummus or rice and choice of salad or soup. I went with the hummus and salad. Fattoush salad came first - enjoyed it. While pre-dressed, wasn't drowning in salad dressing like many other fattoush salads around Dearborn. Wasn't too biting either. Next came entree with hummus on same plate plus a side of garlic sauce and a basket of freshly baked bread/pita. Hummus was silky smooth - amazing texture. Wished it had a little more flavor though. Pita rolls were pillowy; perfectly cooked, nice and hot; the perfect vessel for hummus. Chicken was good; nothing to write home about, but solid. Garlic sauce is still oozing from my pores. Accepts Discover. Odd thing - menu says $9.45 for this lunch (and I double checked carryout menu before writing this review), but my credit card receipt (incl. tax) says $10.55. Hmmmm...
(4)Rola S.
First time coming here for lunch and it was very busy. We ordered the boneless chicken that came with hummus and fattoush and they were huge enough for four people. The food was very tasty, and our waitress was very friendly and attentive. The place could maybe use an update on their booths. Love me some bread and garlic!
(4)Mitch R.
Great food and service. Portions were huge and you will need boxes. My new favorite Mediterranean restaurant . Personal favorite is chicken shawarma .
(4)Hansel B.
This is the best hands down Lebanese lunch place in Dearborn. I've tried a bunch, always trying to find something that beats this place. They all beat this place on name (Country Chicken, really?) but never on food. As other reviewers have mention the baked bread is great, fresh out of the oven... sometimes they don't have it and they give you that pita stuff in the bag, don't take it!! it will spoil your lunch. Same goes for take-out, you have to order the fresh baked bread on the side, otherwise they just give you the bag pita bread. Garlic is good, try to make sure you don't have mtgs after lunch, your co-workers will thank you. Best food, fattoush salad with Chicken shawarma. That stuff is addictive. I used to have it 3-4 times a week for dinner, it was cheap and yummy, great combination. Other food to try, chicken shawarma sandwich for lunch. I won't pretend like I remember the other food, that shawarma was too good, I always ordered it.

Ok - This restaurant was recommended by a friend, and one plus was it was close to work. 1. If you try and place a carry out, I tried for a half hour, and no one picked up the phone.....if someone can tell me the secret that would be great. I got there, and stood around like a fool, you walk into an area where there are tables and people hanging out...fnd out after the fact I guess this is seating for the carry out customers....was going to sit, but the servers kept rushing past me, so off I go back to the carry out line. I get to the counter, place my order (asking for fresh bread). I'm sitting waiting, expecting them to let me know when the order is done (they don't ask for your name when you pay).....waited a short time, when a server came out to ask me if I was taken care of....she goes to the counter and looks for my order and lo and behold its sitting there....all in all 15 minutes from start to finish....guess I hit the lunch rush.... I didn't get the fresh bread, got the bagged stuff - wasn't thrilled with that..so 1st strike - .was really looking forward to the raved about fresh hot bread. The meat fattoush salad was ok - I like my lamb a bit crispier and there was hardly any toasted pita in the salad...this wasn't that seasoned. The large garlic sauce is fairly small - but hey - for $2 not bad.

Anyone who knows me knows it doesn't take much to convince me to go out for Middle Eastern Food (hereafter referred to as MEF) . In this case it was my friend linking me the Yelp review for this place that he likes and seeing a 4 star review for it. The final straw (yes I know, it only took TWO straws) was my sister mentioning hummous in her Facebook status. For me that's the equivalent of a shove in the back from God (Allah?) himself, so off I went. Food, to me, is sometimes like a Football game. There are winners and losers. There are big plays, and gutsy moves. It hurts, but I'm gonna come right out and say that this was the worst MEF I've had in Dearborn. And that's not really THAT huge of a knock on the food, it wasn't THAT bad, but in DEARBORN, you gotta step it up to play with the big boys. Dearborn is a BRUTAL division to play in and there are SO many incredible teams that it doesn't take much to get eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. I'm simple in my analysis when it comes to MEF, but you really have to do 3 things right to win the coveted Aaron N. Cup. Of course there are other important pieces to having game in the MEFL but if you don't start with these three key plays you'll be hitting the bathhouse faster than you can say "They don't play American Football in Lebanon". 1. Good Bread 2. Good Hummous (or hummus, or hommous, or homous, or homouse, or hhuummuuss, or... well, you get the picture. However you spell it, just make it right) 3. Good Chicken Country Chicken failed on all three counts. Let's look at the game tape and see where they dropped the ball. The bread (DUD DUN DUUUUNNNN!!!) came in a bag. Dry, thin, tasteless, pita. Even the best team in Dearborn (Habib's Cuisine) doesn't get a free pass with their bread and got downranked for its lackluster performance. The hummous didn't TASTE, LOOK, or FEEL like hummous. This is like telling your quarterback to go wash your Escalade when the game is about to start. When I describe this hummous all my color commentary can come up with is "It's like eating sour cream with artificial chick pea flavoring added." It was too smooth, almost white in appearance, and had very little of the savory thickness that is the hallmark of GOOD hummous. I've had better stuff from a grocery store. It was also topped with just a meager sprinkling of parsley and paprika. Lastly the chicken. The chicken may have helped this team limp into the playoffs, but I really couldn't judge. I ordered the special which was "Cilantro Chicken". I thought "Hey that sounds different." Well, if you call it Cilantro Chicken you should probably be able to actually taste cilantro. And you should also probably be able to SEE the chicken. Unfortunately mine was submerged in a veritable soaking tub of garlic cream sauce with mushrooms. I had to root around for the chicken medallions like a football player in a pile going for a loose ball. Being smothered in sauce meant I couldn't really judge its quality as chicken. It was all sauce. All the taste was overpowered by it and I tasted very little of the cilantro or chicken. A few role players also didn't contribute much. The lighting was harsh and uninviting. Sorry, they may be politically correct, but compact flourescents make food look dead. Also, the rice was lacking in flavor and the salad was just all right. A few bright spots were the decor, which was kitschy but nice. Some of the best wall murals in the business (and they LOVE those wall murals in the MEFL). The ones on the ceiling were especially nice and well done. Like a night time and morning sky. The waitress I had was also very nice and the service was prompt. Lastly, the sauce on the chicken itself wasn't bad. It WAS very garlicky, but I like garlic. It had good flavor but there was just too much of it. In the end all the positives add up to, essentially, having a good kicker. If you are the Lions, it just doesn't mean much. I really struggled to come up with a ranking. I feel bad giving 2 stars, but in reality, I came away from this match-up disappointed, and I can't in good conscience give a three star ranking to a team that disappointed me. Maybe I went in with high expectations, but when you can't nail those three main plays in this game you are destined for failure. Step it up Country Chicken. If you ever want to hit the big time you're going to need practice, practice, practice. NOW HIT THE LOCKER ROOM!

well for starters i believe the name of this place is Country Kitchen that being said, after having been to a dozen other middle eastern places. this place keeps me coming back. hooked on the fatoosh with chicken shwarma, garilic sauce is my fave. have had falfel and grape leave sand. and they are great also. my gf had lamb the other night and loved it.

One of the best places to eat in dearborn. It has a nice atmosphere, clean, and the food is awesome. I have bought a few of my dates here and they all loved it.

This review is about lunch, and Country Chicken is one of those places I try and avoid. Not because the food is bad, but rather my self control for the bread is. As Aaron N. mentions, the bread in a bag sucks.. I could avoid that without a problem! Unfortunately he didn't have their fabulous brick oven pita, and that likely sent his review into a tail spin. The restaurant for years was a dive on the inside, but they gave out free bread & garlic dip. It's since been nicely remodeled a few years ago, and while it is a lot more appealing visually, they took away the freebies too!! Generally I find this cuisine hard to rate in the Dearborn area, being that the genre is a relatively level playing field. I've eaten at a half dozen different places in the Dearborn area over the past 15 years, and think that Country edges them out. This isn't to say that they win on all counts, but my lunch criteria is this.. Fattoush Salad w/ Chicken Shawarma Garlic Sauce & baked pita and occasionally... Chicken Shawarma sandwich Chicken Shawarma lunch Hummous Tabboulli There are two types of "garlic" dips I've had. Both will give you dragon breath, but CC's sauce is the milder of the two and far more delicious then some that only serve the over potent paste. (La Shish) Fattoush isn't something that will be dramatically different from place to place. CC's is consistent, not overdressed & fresh. What truly sets this place apart is their Chicken Shawarma. Out of the 30+ times I've eaten here, the shawarma has never disappointed. I will admit, it easily wins for the worst name for a middle eastern restaurant, it's food however and peticularly their chicken shawarma, will make you think of the name fondly. 4 stars given mainly due to bread being too tempting to stop eating. ;^)

I pledge allegiance, to my Country Chicken/Inn/Restaurant/Kitchen (or whatever that sign translates to). It's finally happened! The Country has been discovered by Yelpers! I knew it was bound to happen. This place was my hidden gem in Dearborn. I have gorged myself on the bread and garlic sauce for many years now, and that really is the highlight of the meal for me. The garlic sauce is very fresh tasting with a hint of sweetness and a dash of citrus. I once asked the cashier guy what ingredients are used in the sauce. His response was a hearty laugh as in "there is no chance I will ever tell you". The mini pitas they serve with every lunch combo come out fresh baked and still warm from the oven, and are the perfect conduit for the garlic sauce. The remainder of the menu consists of high quality middle eastern fare up there with the best of the Dearborn lunch establishments. Competition is fierce for those lunch time diners, but this place is consistently busy and they seem to bring in a wide variety of clientele.

My wife and I were in the area visiting family and decided to try something new since this restaurant had so many positive reviews. let me just preface this by saying this is one of the worst dining experiences we have ever had and we have eaten at quite a few restaurants. The service here is quite possibly the worst I have ever experienced in a restaurant. I don't know if they were short staffed or what, but it appeared there was only one person attending to the tables during the lunch hour on a weekend. We never received the bread we were promised numerous times, my wife never got her meal as she was originally given something completely different than what she ordered, we never received drink re-fills and it took forever to get the check. We were in there almost 1.5 hours, which is absurd for a weekend lunch when there are only 3 or 4 other tables occupied. They did offer to make my wife the correct meal, but after waiting in there for so long and struggling to get the waitresses' attention, we told them to just take it off the bill since we were ready to get out of there. I wasn't about to endure the torture for another hour. My chicken shawarma sandwich was decent, but the pita tasted store bought and it was pretty small...I'm glad I also ordered the fries with it! The timing of the food was also very weird as my wife's wrong dish arrived 20 minutes after I received my sandwich. I am not sure what the appeal is, but I would never subject myself to this torture again, let alone recommend to my worst enemies.

Simply the best Middle Eastern food in Dearborn. I have lived in this area most of my life, and have been to a lot of places. The food at Country gets better and better each time I'm there. My favorites are the Chicken lemon rice soup and the Fattoush with boneless chicken. Surprisingly even though the boneless chicken is mostly white meat it's more juicy than even the shawarma (which is really good on it's own). I visit there a few times a week and the food is very consistent. (And the bread is the best!)
(5)Kara H.
Country Chicken (or as the sign out front says, Country "something in Arabic that I can't read") is my FAVORITE middle eastern restaurant!!!! Their hummus and tahini are amazing, as is their garlic sauce. While I don't normally like falafel, at Country Chicken the falafel is moist and delicious! I also love the pickled radishes. I recommend ordering the combination platter for 1 (which can easily feed 3) with fatoush, rice and extra garlic sauce.

Sadly it seems that, as illustrated by the name of the restaurant, they are really good at only one thing, chicken. The tabouli and fatoush were good. The charbroiled chicken excellent. The rice was way overcooked and mushroom chicken dish was lacking.

We order from Country Chicken at work once a month, and all of my coworkers are absolutely crazy about it. It's not the best lebanese I've ever had, but it gets the job done. The chicken schawarma sandwiches are okay, i recommend buying extra garlic sauce on the side because they seem to skimp on it inside the sandwich (they sell small containers for $.50, and large for $$2.00.) Go for the large. They seriously fill up a tub full of garlic paste, and it's extremely tasty. It is also the first garlic paste that doesn't have me hunched over all day with insane stomach cramps. Also, the few times I've gotten this sandwich there have been little to no pickles on it, so maybe ask for extra pickles as well. They have decent schawarma and falafel as well. Whenever calling in for an order, they seem super stressed out and I feel rushed most of the time. I'll definitely keep coming back because it's satisfying, but I definitely favor other lebanese restaurants over this one.

I'm already craving another! Carry-out service was very friendly and prompt. Can't wait to go back!

This is the best hands down Lebanese lunch place in Dearborn. I've tried a bunch, always trying to find something that beats this place. They all beat this place on name (Country Chicken, really?) but never on food. As other reviewers have mention the baked bread is great, fresh out of the oven... sometimes they don't have it and they give you that pita stuff in the bag, don't take it!! it will spoil your lunch. Same goes for take-out, you have to order the fresh baked bread on the side, otherwise they just give you the bag pita bread. Garlic is good, try to make sure you don't have mtgs after lunch, your co-workers will thank you. Best food, fattoush salad with Chicken shawarma. That stuff is addictive. I used to have it 3-4 times a week for dinner, it was cheap and yummy, great combination. Other food to try, chicken shawarma sandwich for lunch. I won't pretend like I remember the other food, that shawarma was too good, I always ordered it.

Ok - This restaurant was recommended by a friend, and one plus was it was close to work. 1. If you try and place a carry out, I tried for a half hour, and no one picked up the phone.....if someone can tell me the secret that would be great. I got there, and stood around like a fool, you walk into an area where there are tables and people hanging out...fnd out after the fact I guess this is seating for the carry out customers....was going to sit, but the servers kept rushing past me, so off I go back to the carry out line. I get to the counter, place my order (asking for fresh bread). I'm sitting waiting, expecting them to let me know when the order is done (they don't ask for your name when you pay).....waited a short time, when a server came out to ask me if I was taken care of....she goes to the counter and looks for my order and lo and behold its sitting there....all in all 15 minutes from start to finish....guess I hit the lunch rush.... I didn't get the fresh bread, got the bagged stuff - wasn't thrilled with that..so 1st strike - .was really looking forward to the raved about fresh hot bread. The meat fattoush salad was ok - I like my lamb a bit crispier and there was hardly any toasted pita in the salad...this wasn't that seasoned. The large garlic sauce is fairly small - but hey - for $2 not bad.

Anyone who knows me knows it doesn't take much to convince me to go out for Middle Eastern Food (hereafter referred to as MEF) . In this case it was my friend linking me the Yelp review for this place that he likes and seeing a 4 star review for it. The final straw (yes I know, it only took TWO straws) was my sister mentioning hummous in her Facebook status. For me that's the equivalent of a shove in the back from God (Allah?) himself, so off I went. Food, to me, is sometimes like a Football game. There are winners and losers. There are big plays, and gutsy moves. It hurts, but I'm gonna come right out and say that this was the worst MEF I've had in Dearborn. And that's not really THAT huge of a knock on the food, it wasn't THAT bad, but in DEARBORN, you gotta step it up to play with the big boys. Dearborn is a BRUTAL division to play in and there are SO many incredible teams that it doesn't take much to get eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. I'm simple in my analysis when it comes to MEF, but you really have to do 3 things right to win the coveted Aaron N. Cup. Of course there are other important pieces to having game in the MEFL but if you don't start with these three key plays you'll be hitting the bathhouse faster than you can say "They don't play American Football in Lebanon". 1. Good Bread 2. Good Hummous (or hummus, or hommous, or homous, or homouse, or hhuummuuss, or... well, you get the picture. However you spell it, just make it right) 3. Good Chicken Country Chicken failed on all three counts. Let's look at the game tape and see where they dropped the ball. The bread (DUD DUN DUUUUNNNN!!!) came in a bag. Dry, thin, tasteless, pita. Even the best team in Dearborn (Habib's Cuisine) doesn't get a free pass with their bread and got downranked for its lackluster performance. The hummous didn't TASTE, LOOK, or FEEL like hummous. This is like telling your quarterback to go wash your Escalade when the game is about to start. When I describe this hummous all my color commentary can come up with is "It's like eating sour cream with artificial chick pea flavoring added." It was too smooth, almost white in appearance, and had very little of the savory thickness that is the hallmark of GOOD hummous. I've had better stuff from a grocery store. It was also topped with just a meager sprinkling of parsley and paprika. Lastly the chicken. The chicken may have helped this team limp into the playoffs, but I really couldn't judge. I ordered the special which was "Cilantro Chicken". I thought "Hey that sounds different." Well, if you call it Cilantro Chicken you should probably be able to actually taste cilantro. And you should also probably be able to SEE the chicken. Unfortunately mine was submerged in a veritable soaking tub of garlic cream sauce with mushrooms. I had to root around for the chicken medallions like a football player in a pile going for a loose ball. Being smothered in sauce meant I couldn't really judge its quality as chicken. It was all sauce. All the taste was overpowered by it and I tasted very little of the cilantro or chicken. A few role players also didn't contribute much. The lighting was harsh and uninviting. Sorry, they may be politically correct, but compact flourescents make food look dead. Also, the rice was lacking in flavor and the salad was just all right. A few bright spots were the decor, which was kitschy but nice. Some of the best wall murals in the business (and they LOVE those wall murals in the MEFL). The ones on the ceiling were especially nice and well done. Like a night time and morning sky. The waitress I had was also very nice and the service was prompt. Lastly, the sauce on the chicken itself wasn't bad. It WAS very garlicky, but I like garlic. It had good flavor but there was just too much of it. In the end all the positives add up to, essentially, having a good kicker. If you are the Lions, it just doesn't mean much. I really struggled to come up with a ranking. I feel bad giving 2 stars, but in reality, I came away from this match-up disappointed, and I can't in good conscience give a three star ranking to a team that disappointed me. Maybe I went in with high expectations, but when you can't nail those three main plays in this game you are destined for failure. Step it up Country Chicken. If you ever want to hit the big time you're going to need practice, practice, practice. NOW HIT THE LOCKER ROOM!

My wife and I were in the area visiting family and decided to try something new since this restaurant had so many positive reviews. let me just preface this by saying this is one of the worst dining experiences we have ever had and we have eaten at quite a few restaurants. The service here is quite possibly the worst I have ever experienced in a restaurant. I don't know if they were short staffed or what, but it appeared there was only one person attending to the tables during the lunch hour on a weekend. We never received the bread we were promised numerous times, my wife never got her meal as she was originally given something completely different than what she ordered, we never received drink re-fills and it took forever to get the check. We were in there almost 1.5 hours, which is absurd for a weekend lunch when there are only 3 or 4 other tables occupied. They did offer to make my wife the correct meal, but after waiting in there for so long and struggling to get the waitresses' attention, we told them to just take it off the bill since we were ready to get out of there. I wasn't about to endure the torture for another hour. My chicken shawarma sandwich was decent, but the pita tasted store bought and it was pretty small...I'm glad I also ordered the fries with it! The timing of the food was also very weird as my wife's wrong dish arrived 20 minutes after I received my sandwich. I am not sure what the appeal is, but I would never subject myself to this torture again, let alone recommend to my worst enemies.

well for starters i believe the name of this place is Country Kitchen that being said, after having been to a dozen other middle eastern places. this place keeps me coming back. hooked on the fatoosh with chicken shwarma, garilic sauce is my fave. have had falfel and grape leave sand. and they are great also. my gf had lamb the other night and loved it.
