I've been coming to George's on and off since I was told about it in the 90's and after grabbing a bite last Friday night, I decided to finally write a quick review.
You're up and haven't eaten and its 2:00am. You're hungry and you something other than the usual Golden Arches and you think 'chicken and spaghetti'. 'Healthier' option, right? lol
The great thing about George's chicken is that a quarter chicken dinner with spaghetti is filling. Pasta is filling period let alone a half chicken dinner with white meat. No dining room here though but there's a small standup counter ledge that you can use if you have to eat it there.
Having said that....................the last few times I've been there, I've noticed that the chicken no longer has that 'smokey churrasqueira bbq' flavor that it used to have. Its just a bbq'd piece of chicken that you pray isnt undercooked. I've had to peel away pieces of rubbery fat that are simply unappetizing. Mind you, if youre a 'soldier' like myself, you simply peel away the rubber and dig in.
As of late though, there's been too much peeling away before I can start eating...
The spaghetti noodles weren't soggy which is all I ask so no issues there plus you get a nice large portion. The sauce won't knock your socks off but for take-out with some chicken, its more than adequate. You can get fries instead of spaghetti if you like which probably means a fresh batch if you go at the right time but spaghetti is much more filling if you're starved.
I just wish they'd get back to that original smokey churrasqueira chicken flavor that made them famous. Its almost like now they're riding on the name. Conclusion - if its late hours, its a great option but if you're within regular dinner hours, id shop around.
