| - It's okay, but... a half chicken plate with a drink and tax sets you back about $20. No bang for the buck. And there's lots of places for a full meal well under $20. I don't mind paying for a nice meal but if you're gonna charge me big bucks, don't give me styrofoam plates and plastic ware and make me stand in line and bus my own table.
On the plus side, good service, clean, comfortable, and fresh salads.
On the neutral side, the sides are on a steam table and covered. You never know what you're getting until it's scooped. The mac and cheese was left open and looked dry. The server stirred it up to look better just before he took my order. They seem a little stingy on the salad fixings with 3 options. I'm sure having an open salad bar has it's drawbacks, but the current system seems to gouge you for more $$$ to add extra toppings...and as I mentioned, it's expensive enough as is.
On the negative side, the chicken was seasoned well and the skin had great flavor. That flavor doesn't make it to the inside of the chicken. Therefore the chicken is rather bland and maybe a tad dry. The dipping sauce certainly added flavor but I think the chicken should have some kind of cooked in seasoning.
Again, $20 for a full meal seems a little steep. Nevada Chicken Cafe and others do a much better job at a much better price.
Two stars because, Meh, I've experienced better. It's has potential. in reality it's just fast food at gourmet prices. I have nothing against the place other than seasoning and price. Perhaps if they had daily specials where you really got bang for the buck, I'd return. Perhaps they could do something to promote the salads as a deal and use good chicken chunks instead of that god awful shredded stuff they use.
