| - So impressed!
Came here at 11:30am on a Sat and we were the only ones there. Love the vibe, metal letter decors, light bulb lightning, coloured bench couches and even the waiters are dressed very hipster.
The staff are all extremely outgoing, polite and easy to talk to. They came by frequently to ask if we needed anything.
I got the pulled chicken sandwich ($9+tax +tip). I was a bit iffy on getting it from the mediocre reviews for another flock location, but I am so glad I ordered it! This was one of the best sandwiches I've had in a long time. Mostly due to the fresh toasted buttery bun that's soft, crispy with sesame seeds. But the sandwich itself has layers of flavour, from the creaminess of the guac, to the crispy onions, to the sweet tartness of the horseradish beet apple slaw. All these flavours compliment the star of the sandwich, the chicken and don't overpower the chicken taste. I like how their chicken is antibiotic free too!
The sandwich also looks very visually appealing with the bright colours (lettuce and beet sauce) on the light blue plate.
My friend got the chicken sammy sandwich (fried chicken). Although it was delicious, he had a bone in his. We weren't sure if that was a mistake or it's common, but before we got the chance to ask, the general manager came to us and apologized about the bone and that it was a mistake. He said the sandwich is on them and seemed very sincere about it. He apologized several times.
This gesture says a lot about the company and how they take their food quality and service very seriously. The fact that they own up to their mistakes is very commendable and respectable.
I love the ambiance, service, food and concept of Flock. I also love how everything has their signature subtle chicken flock imagery everywhere, from the menus to the signs to the rugs. I'm definitely coming back, and I recommend trying the pulled chicken sandwich
I'm surprised the place was empty at that time amd that it was rated only 3.5 stars... it deserves better!
