I will not lie, their menu is BORING. It is chicken. Chunks of chicken, parts of chicken, salads of chicken, and wraps of chicken. It's a good thing Ellie has impeccable taste or I would not have driven any distance for this menu.
The location is interesting, more casual than casual with only outdoor seating. There’s no real inside, just a counter for ordering and pick-up.
We start with dark meat Rotisserie, only legs and thighs. The fat drips a little, as it should when you pick up a piece to bite into. The seasoning is just right, the meat is perfectly tender, no need to add anything, though chipotle dressing does supplement with spice.
A side of Chinese Cabbage Salad is like a sweet coleslaw of understated simplicity, a refreshing contrast to all the meat. The first few bites feel meh, but the more I eat, the more I like it.
The Melrose Wrap has a wholesome cross-section, just strips of white meat bordered by avocado and greens with tangy Italian dressing to perk it up a bit.
It's good, nutritious food that doesn't make you feel gross after you eat it. There's no carb coma, no grease regret, just the lingering savoriness of chicken cooked correctly and refreshing veggies to give you an energy boost. As simplistic as this stuff seems, it's not stuff you should skip.
