For $15.99, you get the sandwich plus fries (the sandwich alone is $11.99), making it a pretty solid deal. This place is tucked away in the Parkville Market & is a little spot. This beast of a sandwich comes loaded w/ creamy pimento mac & cheese piled on top of a juicy chicken breast, all tucked inside a soft brioche cheese bun. Every bite was cheesy, savory, & downright delish!It was messy in the best possible way & def hit the spot! The massive amount of fries were the perfect sidekick,rounding out a meal that left me full & happy! The portion was so huge my sis & me couldn't even finish them.1 thing's for sure Mac Daddy made it jump, jump... Mac Daddy made it jump, jump! Alright, alright! lol! If comfort food is your love language, this sandwich deserves a spot on your must try list. It won't disappoint your tastebuds or tummy! You're welcome!

The portion with fries was definitely generous and super filling. The chicken itself was juicy, clean tasting, and flavorful without being greasy. I got the hot level but thought it would have more of a kick, so next time I'd probably go spicier. On the downside the breading on the chicken was peeling off, and the sauce made the bun a bit soggy, could have been crispier. It really wasn't bad, but CT has too much competition when it comes to fried chicken sandwiches, and it's hard not to compare it to them, why I only gave 3 stars..

Stopped into Rocking Chicken on a Thursday evening for a quick dinner. When I walked in the door,…read moreI was greeted with a warm smile and very loud music. After looking over the menu, I decided to get the rockin chicken bowl. This dish included many things I liked. There was vegetable fried rice, Peruvian beans, plantain, and the most amazing chicken I have ever eaten. I decided to order the shortbread cookies I had been hearing about as well. The immaculate dining room has a few tables. My cashier told me to take a seat and she would bring my food over when it was ready. I did not have to wait very long. I can't even express how delicious this chicken was it's coal fired and even without skin the chicken was succulent, and so full of flavor. The beans were OK. The rice was outstanding, and the two homemade sauces they provided were creamy and delicious one is spicy enough to provide flavor, but not so much to burn your mouth. The cookies were the PERFECT light buttery ending to my meal. Let me wrap it up by saying I had leftovers when I came home that I offered to my husband. He insists that he will be getting his own order this weekend.

In the beginning, the food quality and consistency weren't always where they needed to be, but they have made significant improvements and have become much more reliable. The peri peri chicken is flavorful, well-seasoned, and cooked well, and the sides are generally fresh and satisfying. Whether dining in or ordering takeout, my recent experiences have been consistently positive. The staff is friendly, and service is generally smooth. The only minor issue I've noticed is that they occasionally run out of certain menu items, especially during busy periods. However, that hasn't taken away from the overall experience. It's great to see a local business continue to improve and grow. Overall, Tribos Peri Peri offers good food, solid service, and a much stronger experience than when they first started. I'd happily recommend it and will continue to return.

"But I got my head in the clouds like Zeus Swear I can see…read morethe game from a bird's-eye view" (Eminem) What on earth does peri peri mean? Well peri peri is a fiery little African Bird's-eye chili whose name literally means "hot pepper" in Bantu. Tribos Peri Peri in Avon is the regional chain's eighth location (and the only one in CT), with the other seven in MA, MD, and NJ. Their cuisine pays homage to that incendiary African Bird's-eye chili pepper in their Portugese, African, and Southeast Asian flavored chicken dishes. You can have your pick of wings, tenders, platters, and even a whole chicken with or without sides. Some of the sides and appetizers have a Mediterranean flair such as hummus, pita breads, couscous, falafel, etc. The non-chicken lovers can get other dishes with lamb, paneer cheese, falafel, etc. Now, when you order chicken you have to decide on your tolerance for a heat level. I ordered three freshly grilled tenders and needed to select one of their six spice levels for the sauce the tenders get bathed in. Level One is plain, Level Two is Lemon & Herb, Level Three is Mild, Level Four is Medium, Five is Hot, and Six dares you to be Very Hot. I went with Level Four Medium, and I gotta tell ya, my chicken tenders were very spicy. Oh... and the chicken itself? FANTASTIC - freshly grilled, large, moist and perfect. Soon after the tenders were delivered to my table, two more things appeared- a squeeze bottle of white and red sauce. The smiling server said if my chicken was too spicy I could cool it down with the white garlic sauce. But if they weren't spicy enough, I could increase the firepower with some peri peri sauce. Of course I had to try the peri peri sauce and lets just say I was very grateful I just tried an eye dropper's worth of it. Along with the chicken, I ordered an amazing side of grilled corn on the cob. So the food was great, but how about the service? My experience was fantastic. The gent who took my order was friendly, conversational, and helpful. And when he brought out those two sauces, he was playfully smiling when he talked about the heat level of that Peri Peri sauce. What a nice addition to the Farmington Valley.

Service was very friendly, prices a little high, but bbq is crazy these days so you kind of expect it. Tried the three meat plate, with a side of bbq beans and cornbread.

Hot links: my favorite part of this dish! Wasn't a standard flavor, not too spicy, and had a great snap to it. Overall, decent experience, nothing to write home about. Very limited seating, stools only. Come hungry, good size portions.

Place is smallish, but there's a counter with a few stools if you want to eat inside. Service was very friendly & efficient. Brisket was good -- tender and moist. Nice bark too.

Overall, this is decent "northern Q", I would definitely come back again if I'm in the area. Thomas' Smokey Pit Stop BBQ is a solid 4 Star rating, IMO, and that's coming from a guy who consumed a lot of Q in northern Alabama when he lived down there.

I have tried burger Squad approximately five times now, and each time I try a different item off the menu. I arrived early for a pick up order one night and could see/hear them prepping my food in the back. I highly recommend the platters, any meat you choose would be great, but I had the chicken. I chose to go with fries over hummus and was happy with my choice. The chicken sandwich is also a hidden gem on the menu. There are a lot of chicken sandwich spots in the area, but what sets the chicken sandwich from Burger Squad apart is how fresh and light the fry on the chicken is. Very rarely do I eat fried food and don't feel some heaviness afterwards, but that was not the case with the fried chicken or any other dishes I have had the pleasure of trying. There is a burger on the menu with fried halloumi that is unique and a refreshing twist on a burger. I will be going back to try other items on the menu, and look forward to being impressed yet again the next time I go. This small business deserves all of your support!
