re: Have eaten both the Freddy's and Cowboy Chicken on Siegen this week...review

We ate at Cowboy Chicken this past Friday as well, probably got there an hour before you did.

To their credit, they did have a person walking the floor to inquire about quality of food. The restaurant is large, has a lot of open space, nicely appointed and people kept coming in. By the time we left, the line was approaching the main entrance door.

Unfortunately, we found the chicken to be rather small (a normal 1/2 chicken was about the size of 1/4 chicken you would find at Sam's or Costco) and the white meat pieces were exceptionally dry. The chicken wing of the bird could have passed for chicken jerky. As far as flavor was concerned, no complaints there. It tasted like rotisserie chicken.

The sides that we had were marginal at best. Macaroni and Cheese were "dry" - don't see the resemblance to Piccadilly here. Twice baked potatoes had more of a consistency of grits than potatoes. Texture was just "off." And the Fried Okra was frozen. Doesn't take too long to fry up okra, however this may be a corporate decision and taken out of the hands of franchisee?

Despite my critique, I hope the owners do exceptionally well. It's a great alternative to how we normally get chicken (fried) and pricing is fair for a quick service restaurant.
