I have been a fan of this restaurant since 2003 when I moved to the area. They still have my favorite soft pillowy bread, served with complimentary tuum, and it's an amazing start to any meal!I stopped in for lunch this past week, and I'm glad to report that it's still awesome. I had lemon rice soup and a lunch chicken shawarma with hummous. The chicken was tender, the hummous is more flavorful than most, and the soup was excellent. It was more food than I could eat for a very reasonable price. I highly recommend the food here, and the place is comfortable and relaxing.The only reason this wasn't a 5-star review was that the service was mediocre. We were told to sit wherever we want - and then waited about 5 minutes for someone to bring us menus. When we were done eating, it took so long to get our check/bill (we were sitting there twiddling our thumbs for about 10 minutes) that I took the rare step, which I feel very awkward and rude doing, of going up to the cash register and asking the host to find our waitress and ask her to bring us our check. Business lunch service needs to be quick and snappy, and our server seemed to be taking more of a leisurely pace. But this is a minor qualm for an excellent restaurant with fantastic food, and it wouldn't be an issue for someone coming in for a relaxing dinner without a time crunch.

Visited for lunch last month and wasn't impressed at all. When we walked in, every table except for one had not been bussed clean. By the time we left, only two tables had been cleared. Hire a busser, first and foremost. Walking into a dirty restaurant doesn't make for the best first impression. Sitting in it for forty-five minutes only lowers that impression. Our waitress was nice. This place is pretty pricey compared to a lot of restaurants around here. A lunch special was around $15 and came with entree, rice, and soup or salad. We ordered the deboned chicken lunch with rice and chicken lemon rice soup. My husband also got a lunch fattoush salad.Soup and salad came up quick. I really enjoyed the CLR soup. It was light and tangy and full of chicken. My husband loved his fattoush salad. Our entree came up not long after. The chicken, while plentiful, was way overcooked. The rice was warn in some spots and cold in others and had random crunchies throughout. Not good. A request for lemon helped the chicken, as did the garlic paste (toum) but still, it shouldn't have come out that dry to begin with. I think my favorite part of the meal was the fresh bread and toum. I probably won't be coming back. I much prefer the service and food at Baba's Grill when I'm looking for a lunch spot.

We have been coming here for years, it's my first time writing a review for Country Kitchen/ Country Chicken (I've seen both names for this place). This visit we ordered chicken Shawarma and shish tawook sandwiches, fattoush, the vegetarian grape leaves and a baby hummus. I like when you're seated, they bring out garlic sauce and bread (fresh baked pita). The vegetarian grapes leaves were good, as was the hummus and the always fresh and delicious fattoush. The chicken Shawarma sandwiches were good as well, I had mine on French bread (give it a try sometime). Sometimes the service is slow, they get a lot of carryout orders.

Had a team lunch. There are some booths when you enter, but a slightly bigger room next to the main area. We were seated at the back of the restaurant. I recalled the dining area and being here a couple of times before, it's been a while since I was last here. We ordered two whole chicken, which comes with two sides, 2 hummus, lentil soup and a falafel sandwich for the group. Was enough food for our group and some leftovers to go too. 3% charge for using a credit card. Do people often use cash here then. I don't recall being charged a credit card fee in the past here. We had plenty of big pita pockets and garlic sauce. Can't have a Lebanese or middle eastern meal without pita, hummus or garlic sauce, right?Chicken was nicely seasoned, it's quite flattened and was a tad burned on the edges though. There was about 5-6 breast of chicken per plate. Still not bad. The falafel sandwich wasn't too bad, the falafel could have been more crispy for my team member. The lentil soup was decent, so was the side of rice. The fattoush with pita chips wasn't super popular with the team, team was more focused on the chicken, rice and hummus. Service was good for us throughout, attentive.

This was a great place to check out! We chose to dine in, but it was insanely busy the entire time with takeout orders! I've never seen so much foot traffic in and out of a restaurant while I was eating, so clearly this place is busy.The food was great! We decided to order the Country Plate and share it, to get a variety of food. It came with Shish tawook, shish kabob, meat kafta, 2 grape leaves, 2 falafel, 2 fried kibbee, meat and chicken shawarma, rice, hommous and salad. Plus, they give you the delicious hot bread with garlic sauce! It was so much food, for such a good price. We really enjoyed most of the food!The service was good, too. They were friendly and helpful.

We dropped in for a quick lunch during a busy workday. The parking lot was full; we snagged the last spot. Inside, large groups occupied booths that lined both sides of the dining area. Since it was lunch, we went with the specials. I had the grilled beef shish kebab which came with rice and salad. I only had a bite of the rice (carbs); it was unbelievably flavorful, fluffy, not mushy. But I avoided the pita bread, which took willpower because they were warm and fluffy and almost exactly how I like them. The salad was fresh and lightly coated in vinaigrette.The baba ghanoush side had a robust, grilled flavor and creamy, fantastic texture. It is no wonder that this is my favorite Middle Eastern side.Service was quick and friendly. By the time we were done, the restaurant had almost completely emptied out.
