We went for lunch on a Saturday and sadly they were nearly empty. I say sadly because the ambiance is much better than most spots in downtown Chandler, the service was excellent and the food was outstanding.
I had heard that they have a de-boned, deep fried half chicken that is really good and I wanted to try it. Unfortunately it isn't on their lunch menu. But when I asked about it, the owner checked with the chef and he said no problem, it would just take a few extra minutes. I didn't mind because it gave me more time to enjoy the atmosphere and have one more beer.
We ordered the pork belly lollipops with caesar salad as an app and waited for the chicken. The pork belly was absolutely delicious. It is served with a tangy cole slaw and a balsamic reduction. This is a very nice flavor combination. My wife said the salad was one of the best caesar salads she has had in a long time. (Their menu says all of their sauces and dressings are made fresh daily in-house).
The chicken is a de-boned half chicken rolled up tightly, seasoned (perfectly) and deep fried. It is served with delicious mashed potatoes and candied carrots. It is also served with a smoked apple sauce. This is one of the most unique preparation for chicken that I have ever seen. It was fantastic.
The owner was very attentive and filled us in on the background of the restaurant and the menu.
We will return many times since there are so many things on the menu that we want to try. This will be our go to spot when people visit from out of town.
