I'm kind of disappointed in this place. Not gonna lie. I had really high hopes. Maybe that's my fault. A friend of mine once told me it's better to have lower expectations of people/things so that you're not disappointed. I suppose I should've had lower expectations. The place is super cute and their menu sounds amazing. But execution of it all just didn't come together.
I met up with some friends a few weeks ago and was super excited for this place. Mashed potato bar? Um. Count me in! So the friends had already ordered an app by the time I got there - some little balls of sorts. They were delicious. Who doesn't love little balls?
For my main entree, I ordered the quarter chicken with truffle marinade or whatever. It comes with two sides so I got the mashed potato side (you get to choose whatever toppings) and I had a the side salad. I didn't specify what kind of meat I wanted the chicken to be so they brought dark. Great! I love dark meat, so juicy and delicious....well not this place. I'm confused. The name of the restaurant is Chick Rotisserie. Two things come to mind - chicken and rotisserie. A. The chicken was flavored alright. Don't waste your money on upgrading to the truffle marinade or whatever...it wasn't that great. B. the chicken was dry! W.T.F. Dry dark-meat roasted chicken? Come on, if that's what you're gonna name your place you had better make some damn good chicken. Nope. Fail. The side salad was womp womp. Warm and wilty....maybe you should put it on a different plate or something because warm salad is gross. The drinks were good - thank goodness. My mashed potatoes were great but my friend's were weird. They tasted lemony or something - we got the same toppings. No reason why it should've tasted different.
The place is super cute inside and I might come back and try something else because the chicken was boring and I can buy a whole chicken from the grocery store that's juicier and tastier than what I had at Chick.
