As does the previous reviewer, I like their chicken as well. It actually has excellent seasoning in the breading. It seems all too common that places that fry chicken think dropping a thigh in breadcrumbs then a deep-fryer is enough, and it just ain't! They also serve a reasonably good lasagna and spaghetti. My gripe is they appear to be under a depression era mind-set about what they advertise as "their" potatoes.
The last time I checked restaurants have historically tried to fill up their clientele on cheap carbs, namely bread and potatoes.
The people at Rizzi's think that three of "their" wedges of potatoes, locally called jojos is just right to accompany an eight and a half dollar two-piece chicken meal. Jojos are simply potato wedges that are roughly the equivalent of three french fries in size that are often dipped in a batter and deep fried. They are quite good and as Rizzi's uses the same seasoning on the potatoes as on the chicken also quite flavorful. My question is, if you got nine french fries in your order of french fries would you feel a bit cheated? Well that's how I felt, when I got my three jojos and as that is their standard serving, it's how anyone eating them feels!
I actually mentioned this to my significant other who had wisely ordered the lasagna, (they apparently don't count out the noodles for it in a like fashion) and she relayed how she had once before ordered a chicken meal with the potatoes and was ticked enough she actually called to complain and was told in a very dismissive manner that was their standard portion and goodbye. That might in part be the reason why at Sunday during the luncheon hour when I picked up our carryout order, the parking lot was devoid of customers.
Yes Rizzi's they are "your potatoes" and when your doors close as a result of your stinginess they still will be yours. Too bad the food's pretty good.
