Arrosto is so good. You walk into Providore on 23rd and Sandy and veer to the left upon entering and there is a kiosk where you can oder a half $23.00 or a full chicken dinner for $39.00 includes a delicious chicken, potatoes, salad, dressing, focaccia bread. Service is fast and pleasant and the ambiance of the place is great walking around and shopping while you wait. read more

Arrosto - Chicken dinner sooo good - Chicken Shop Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Inconsistent experience. First time, we got amazingly seasoned and roasted potatoes, a few times we got hard, poorly seasoned ones. One time we even got less than the advertised amount of bread. Another time was great. Hit or miss folks. read more

Haven't been here for a while and boy have I missed it. Their chicken is reasonably priced. Super juicy and flavorful without being too salty like a lot of the the rotisserie chickens you get from the market. Side salad is nice and their spicy sauce goes great w the chicken. Half chicken meal is perfect read more

Disappointed they are claiming it is new and improved! Kiosk is fine to order but it tells you to go stand by it when your order is ready with no other instructions. Then the food is disappointing! Loved it before! Able to order full chicken dinners and additional sides. Seems like a more limited menu now so not sure how that is "improved". Also, the sauce with a whole chicken dinner is a half of a individual salad dressing container. Not sure how that works for a full chicken dinner and the number of people it is supposed to feed. And the focaccia I received was overly brown and dried out. Disappointed! They were amazing before so I don't see how they "improved " with the reopening?! read more

The $39.00 whole chicken meal with roasted potato's, focaccia, and an incredible salad is the best deal in Portland. The quality of the ingredients is impressive and it's the best way to feed my family on a lazy night. read more

Very good value. However, their hours are flaky. Multiple times we've shown up during business hours and they are inexplicably closed, or "out of everything". My advice, always call ahead. read more

Really really enjoyed the roast chicken, bread, salad and dressing. Entire meal just hit the spot.

The chicken is moist and if you like some spice the sauce is good. I'm not a spicy person so it's a bit simple without it but I still enjoyed it. I do like the potatoes they are unique and have good flavor. $30 for a full chicken, salad, bread and potatoes. When they opened 6 or so years ago I remember thinking they were expensive now it seems like a good deal and the chicken is big. The focaccia bread is tasty but pretty oily FYI. We did try the chocolate chip with caramel cookies and didn't taste any caramel at all so I would skip them next time. Inside the main store the brownies are the best. read more

Delicious as always. We've moved away from Portland but whenever we are in town he hit that spot. I love their focaccia bread.

I really enjoyed Arrosto, the chicken meal was amazing! From the chicken to the potatoes to the yummy salad, this was a home cooked meal I enjoyed AND didn't have to cook! read more

Arrosto - Quarter Bird Dinner was AMAZING! - Chicken Shop Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Wow, neighbor and I decided that cooking wasn't on and neither of us wanted to drag our partners out to dinner so this was suggested. And big back pat- it was excellent- chicken was moist, sauces were excellent, roasted potatoes weren't mushy and the salad was interesting- not the standard lettuce, rock hard tomatoes covered with the ever popular canned diced beets- nope. Interesting greens, excellent dressing. Nicely priced. So, yup another great place- we will be back. read more

Sometimes when you need a healthy and tasty snack...I suggest the chicken here! I've been here a few times now and they have been consistent with their chicken. It's never dry and always moist. There's tons of great flavor in the chicken and to top things off...their dipping sauce is delicious! It's nice that you can eat the chicken inside the little section they have. My go to spot for rotisserie chicken (besides Costco...cuz you can't beat their price value). read more

Arrosto - Quarter chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I love the simplicity of this menu. The rotisserie chicken is very flavorful. It's interesting because to the eye it looks like plain roasted chicken, but its super juicy and flavorful. The chicken dinner comes with salad, potatoes, and a piece of foccacia bread. The salad dressing is homemade and Ah-mazing. It's perfect for their greens mix. I have also had the chicken salad. The salad it a good portion for a dinner salad and plenty of chicken as well. The sandwich is pretty good as well. The chicken is covered in the Arrosto sauce. I'm not sure how to explain it. It's not heavy and full of flavor. It's a red maybe pepper but not spicy sauce (I hate bell peppers so it's def not a bell pepper sauce) Great flavor and not overly wet for a dressed sandwich. This is also a good family dinner pick up as well! It's attached to the Providore Market and you can eat inside if you like, enjoy some wine even! read more

Arrosto is a wonderful place to grab dinner for nights when you don't feel like cooking. The quality is always great. My husband and I'd favorite is the half chicken meal with an upgraded salad. I can't recommend the focaccia enough! read more

Lamest-ass chicken salad. What a disappointment. Maybe a half cup, if that, of shredded white meat straight from the refrigerator. Cold. Dry. Flavorless. This from a "Mediterranean Rotisserie"? I'm sorry, but you will get better value and quality from a Whole Foods salad bar, even a pre-packaged Safeway, Fred Meyer, or Trader Joe's. FOOL ME ONCE, but not twice. Pathetic read more

Amazing chicken and potato's . I really wish they would cut all the meat and just remove all the bone as an option . Especially since your paying a bit for a whole chicken ! Other then that very good , I will order again! read more

Love this place! The food is delicious every time. The lunch bowl is great and the chicken dinner is so big. Best deal in town for gourmet chicken! The staff works hard and is always pleasant and cheerful. We will definitely be back! read more

Found bugs in salad. Took it back and was offered a replacement salad with no apology, took it, and then returned it shortly after because I didn't have an appetite. Asked for a refund and the worker with blue eyes and a little boy voice said "you know how this looks" and was questioning why I wanted a refund. read more

Wow just wow. The best rotisserie chicken! Yummy! We had a whole bird dinner which came with juicy roasted potatoes, grilled lemons, heavenly rosemary focaccia bread, fresh greens salad with delicious dressing and of course smoked chili sauce to dip everything in!!! The chicken was nice hot and crispy on the outside and tender and hooch in the inside! The seasoning was on point! Best diner take out ever!!! read more

One of the best chichen lunches I've had in I don't know how long. Nothing fancy, rotisserie chicken, salad, a slice of foccacia bread and some roasted potatoes with sea salt. Light but filling, tasty but clean. No gross feeling or greasy feeling after. The sauce they serve on the side is fantastic, and I would order a second one. read more

I have been so disappointed in Arrosto on my past two visits! I used to swear by that place, that the food was absolute perfection. The food showed attention to detail and it paid off in the amazing flavors. The chicken used to be lusciously juicy with a perfect level of smokiness that was magically enhanced by the beautiful grilled lemons included. On my past two trips, the chicken breast was dry and mushy and there was only one tiny slice of grilled lemon. No hint of smoke. The potatoes were so compelling, crunchy, salty and smokey on the outside, and fluffy like a cloud on the inside. Totally addictive and unforgettable. My past two orders were just potatoes, nothing special at all, and cooked into mush inside. So disappointing! The exceptional bread is still exceptional. The salad is still great. Customer service leaves much to be desired. Attitude, attitude, attitude, you are there to serve, not be served!! Don't give the store away to your friends! All things considered, I'm no longer recommending Arrosto to my friends and probably won't be ordering again for awhile. I'll check back in a few months maybe, in hopes of it having been restored to its former level of awesomeness. Come on guys!!! Please???? read more

I usually don't write reviews after only visiting a place once but since I went last night and had everything on the menu, I can tell you a bit about it. The chicken is a for real winner. Seriously some of the juiciest roasted chicken I've eaten. The lemon and rosemary flavors are bright and nicely different than most roast chicken places. The sauce was tasty too, but the chicken is so full of flavor you don't necessarily need it. The potatoes are good, and made a nice side. My only complaints are that it wasn't real fun waiting in line to order in the freezing cold, then having to wait for my order. I really wish the location was indoors. Also, the salad was literally just some mixed greens the gal pulled out of a bin, threw some crumbs and shaved cheese on and served in a to go box. Not nearly worth $10 for a large. And the lemon salad dressing along with the lemon of the chicken was just too much lemon. Need to mix the flavors up to complement each other more. Also, the focaccia would have been a lot better if served warm. Other than that the chicken is still worth it and I'll probably be back once in awhile. read more

I'd been here before and thought it used to be good... boy was I wrong. First issue is with the sauce. It had an unpleasantly bitter aftertaste - it tasted like they put the whole lemon rind in there instead of zest. I'm not quite sure what they were going for - romesco maybe? Did not hit the mark for me. Then there's the all-important chicken. For me, a rotisserie chicken should be tender and well-seasoned. The chicken I got was neither. I don't think it was roasted nearly long enough as the meat clung to the bone. The skin, usually one of my favorite elements on a roasted chicken, was rubbery and bland. it clearly had not been given enough time for the fat to render. The focaccia, salad and potatoes were good but for $18 you could do a lot better for a chicken dinner in this town. In fact I got a whole rotisserie chicken at new seasons tonight and it honestly tasted a whole lot better for 1/2 the price. And yes, I did eat roasted chicken twice in a week... What can I say, I like rotisserie chicken read more

The picture from the latest Portland Monthly is what drew us to Arrosto (bucket of chicken - if you've seen it, you'll know what I mean). It's literally a window in the back of Providore Fine Foods. It's bright yellow, so you can't miss it. We went with the whole bird dinner, which included a whole chicken, a large salad, roasted potatoes, foccacia and their amazing arrosto sauce. I have to say - the chicken was amazing. The meat was juicy, and the skin was beautifully seasoned with lemon and rosemary oil. Actually everything was really good. I really loved the arrosto sauce, which was perfect with the roasted potatoes. For $28 it seemed a little pricey, but it was dinner and a second day lunch for us, so overall not bad. And it was a much better deal, than getting everything separately, which I think would have been close to $40. If you love rotisserie chicken, I would highly recommend this place. I've heard that they can run out of chicken, so keep that in mind, if you go later in the day. read more

Arrosto - Chicken Shop Near Me - Portland, Oregon

There are so many roasted chicken places in portland these days. But none come close to this. Its simple and just perfection. Get the full chicken meal deal, the chicken, potatoes, bread and the arugula salad! All is perfection! Sometimes they run out so dont miss out. read more

This is one of the best deals in Portland. I haven't been here in a while and I forgot how perfect this simple menu is. This place is truly quality over quantity when it comes to the choices. But they do not skimp on the meal. The whole bird dinner is perfect for a four person family in my opinion. The chicken is perfectly moist and the potatoes underneath soak up the chicken juices. The light salad and focaccia compliment the rich chicken perfectly. The spicy sauce is delicious! The chicken leftovers make a great chicken noodle soup the next day! read more

Arrosto has been one of my favorite "go to" spots for years as it has been close to where I work and has delicious offerings that keep us coming back for more. It is a-hole-in-the-wall, takeout restaurant that serves basic but high-end chicken meals. For a fast, delicious and hearty lunch the quarter bird meal is fantastic. Don't have time to cook dinner or are having guests? The whole bird dinner is perfect. Their offerings, while simple, are bursting with flavor and quality. If ordered on a "good" day the meal is *epic*... Moist, tender, lemony chicken. Melt in your mouth potatoes that you can never get enough of. The most perfect Cesar salad on earth. And that mind blowing focaccia. Add in the sauces, condiments, & grilled lemon slices and you are ready for a slice of foodie heaven. Honestly the salad, potatoes, and focaccia are our favorites and we have ordered here just for those items. Arrosto is connected to Providore Fine Foods so you can do a little browsing or shopping if there is a wait. Parking isn't usually an issue but the area can get busy during lunch/dinner peak hours. Where I drop major stars is the "bad" days which have been surprisingly frequent. It's almost a 50/50 toss up which is why we have been ordering here less. Quality and quantity control are the big issues at Arrosto. There have been times we have ordered a large salad a la carte or the full bird dinner only to get home and be disappointed by a meager salad (for ONE...in the large box...) only a few potatoes, or stale, rock hard focaccia. Last night the focaccia was rock hard and flavorless which is the exact opposite of the soft flavor bomb it normally is. Calling ahead is advised as their hours are limited, they sometimes run out of items, the wait can be long (or short), or they may not be following their normal hours altogether. For the price this place really needs to level up. If it were not for these issues this place would be a solid 5 star. read more

Those fowl gods have finally smiled upon me and my chicken-loving proclivities. First we get Pollo Norte, then we get Chicken & Guns (arguably not the same style), and now Arrosto. My love for Latin-style rotisserie chicken knows no bounds, and Arrosto is aiming straight for my heart. This brand-spankin'-new rotisserie chicken window in the back of Providore Fine Foods offers up a short, sweet menu of cluckin' delicious treats. Grab a quarter bird, half bird or whole bird, either a-la carte, or as a "dinner" which includes potatoes, bread and salad. Sides include, you guessed it, potatoes, bread, and salad. That's it. Oh, and they have super interesting drinks, coming straight out of the case at Providore. The winner winner here is the chicken dinner. Half chicken with the trimmings for $18. While I appreciate good focaccia and potatoes, I had them sub in a larger salad (massive!) in lieu of the carbs. Excellent choice. My half chicken came partial deconstructed (each cut separated, but still on the bone) with great skin, excellent moisture, and an insanely good sauce. The salad employs excellent greens and radicchio, with a nice vinaigrette, shaved parm and bread crumbs. The whole mess is served up on medium sized baking trays. Only a photo can do justice to the sheer amount of food you get for $18. Hint - it covers two medium sized baking trays. The chicken is top notch. Not quite as browned or seasoned as Pollo Norte, but similar style. It's on the simple side, but simple is good here. The skin was just crispy enough, and the meat inside so moist. And the seasoning is really not super necessary when you have the delicious sauce. Also a nice charred lemon to squeeze over the top. The salad? A perfect match for the succulent chicken. The tangy dressing cuts right through the fat. And massive. MASSIVE! At least for the large. You can utilize Providore's outdoor seating for your meal, or take it to go. But there's not a ton of seating available. So be prepared to make do if you go on a busy day. This joint is only a week old, so nobody knows about it right now. Get while the gettin's good. Mad props. This is everything it needs to be. read more

tl;dr Just go eat here As frequent visitors to Providore we'd been meaning to try Arrosto for a while. A sunny and warm early Friday evening was the right time. We ordered the half-chicken dinner to share. We ate at the tables in the parking lot - they're far enough away from Sandy Blvd that the traffic wasn't annoying. Sure the reviews here are great, but they didn't prepare me for how good the food actually is. Salad is delicious with a tangy delicate dressing that makes you want to throw out every store-bought bottle in your fridge. The potatoes are a revelation - real actual flavor and that great crispy-soft texture that only a well roasted potato has. Focaccia is legit - fresh, toothsome, and drizzled with olive oil. Main event: the chicken. Not sure how they do it but it's on another level from other rotisserie chicken. Flavor is subtle but satisfying and penetrates through the chicken, not merely surface-level like many others. And it seems like they use high-quality birds - no off flavors like you get from supermarket birds. I really liked how they cut the pieces to expose the meat as well. Finally the included sauce was on point. Washed it down with a glass of rosé they were pouring in Providore. This unassuming fare was one of the best meals I've had in a long time. Arrosto just vaulted onto our go-to list. read more

This place is out of this world. Yes the chicken is amazing and cooked perfectly but for me it's that salad dressing. Oh and the potatoes, those potatoes are unreal. Then you put it all together with some charred lemon. read more

I had really high hopes for this place after months of wanted to try it. Arrosto is set next to/inside of povodore. I ordered a quarter chicken meal which was a good size for my sister and I to share. The chicken itself was cooked well, but I didn't love the sauce that came with it and it just seemed a bit salty. You get roasted potatoes with this (also a bit salty) and a salad (also salty) and focaccia. I wish there were some sweet notes or an herb sauce that would brighten this up as I just seemed a bit overwhelmed with salt. read more

Arrosto - Quarter chicken meal - Chicken Shop Near Me - Portland, Oregon

They don't offer many items, but what they have is just delicious. We got a bucket of rotisserie chicken with super tasty sides and bread and it was sublime. I only wish it were closer to home. No place to sit down, as this is just a window to order from in the side of a building. Can we hope they will expand to more locations? read more

19May17 @ 11:30am. We wanted to do some shopping in providore so we asked how long to get our order of whole chicken ready and were told a few minutes so we waited until after shopping to order. It's take-away but you can eat in providore if you want. The service was quick and friendly. The whole meal was delicious. Everything was just a little better than other places. The chicken was tender, juicy and tasty. The potatoes had a wonderful texture with a nice buttery herbal flavor. The salad went two steps beyond with something crunchy, shaved cheese and various types of greens. There was nothing here to complain about and lots to be happy about. We would return. Also, providore is a great market with lots of wonderful cheeses and meats and other fine foods. read more

THE LOCATION Located right on busy NE Sandy Blvd on the parking lot side of Podovore Fine Foods. THE PARKING Free street and lot parking, but when we arrived at 4:00pm, the large lot was full. We found the only spot left on the street. Oddly, there were just a few patrons in the store and several customers waiting at the takeout window. THE ATMOSPHERE It's basically a takeout window on the side of a building. THE FOOD For $28, we ordered the Whole Chicken Dinner. The cut-up bird comes in a bucket along with about four or five medium to small Yukon Gold potatoes that have been flattened and cooked in rotisserie drippings. Included with the dinner are two small containers of spicy dipping sauce for the chicken which we did not use, four slices of soft focaccia bread, in addition to a small box of arugula salad topped with pecorino shavings and seasoned bread crumbs with house made creamy anchovy dressing on the side. As for the grilled lemon, it was missing from our order. The rotisserie chicken was delicious with hints of smokey flavor along with a well balanced savoriness. The dark meat was definitely saltier and better seasoned than the breast meat which was not overcooked but still slightly on the dry side. Although they claim this dinner feeds 4, a better estimate would be 3 servings. As for the accompanying potatoes, bread and salad, all were extremely well executed and paired perfectly with the chicken. THE SERVICE Very accommodating and friendly. With orders lined up before and after us, had I known the wait would be 15 to 20 minutes, I would've placed the order first before going into the fine foods store for a browse. THE BOTTOM LINE Arrosto's is a good healthy option for a great meal. This may or may not be fair, but in comparison to Costco's $4.99 rotisserie chicken, Arrosto's $20 a la carte whole chicken can feel a bit overpriced for such a petite sized portion. read more

So...I had the whole chicken and large potatoes. The potatoes were really good. I would definitely go back for the potatoes. The chicken was just okay. Nothing special at all. Not bad, not great, just good. You can get whole roasted chickens with a similar taste in grocery stores around Portland for 1/4 the price. I thought about giving two stars because they just left my order at the window without telling me it was mine. The dude working the window looked at me several times while going about his way cleaning or whatever he was doing. I finally asked another dude if that order was for "my name" and he looked and said yes. Anyways, if I go back to this place it won't be for the chicken. read more

Arrosto "gets" flavor!!! Everything is bursting with perfectly layered thoughtfully composed flavor. Especially their unforgettable sauces which you will find yourself craving. Always best around meal time when it is the definition of deliciousness. Any other time it is merely very very good. I always get the whole chicken meal. Wonderful moist flavorful juicy, did I say juicy chicken. Smokey roasted lemon flavor to the bone, which it almost falls off of. ***I would very much prefer crispy skin, unfortunately is often a bit flabby. Gorgeous fresh dark green salad with huge slivers of fresh parmesan cheese and the dressing is heavenly thick creamy layers of fluffy lemony, anchovy and garlic deliciousness. Excellent with or without the pickled purple onions. One of my very favorite sauces in the world is their rustic red sauce (sorry the name escapes me but it has layer upon layer of very intense delicious delightfully spicy flavors). They are happy to show you a list of ingredients and I enjoy picking out the flavors in this sauce. ***This is no frills take out ... so ask for lots of napkins unless you are headed home! I call ahead and it is ready to go when I get there. OH!!! And the SMASHED POTATOES!!! Yuuuummmmm! You can even grab a cold beer to go right at the take out window! A nice Czech lager (if I recall). Focaccia is delightful; fresh, moist, slightly chewy and perfectly punctuated with bursts of salt. Thank you Arrosto! You are consistent, offer friendly good service and your food is incredible. (I do miss the crunchy skin on both chicken and potatoes that I recall when you first opened). read more
