As I said, I got the Gold Rush chicken sandwich meal with fries and a sweet tea. Unfortunately, I was sorely disappointed by the Gold Rush. What looked like dripping, messy sauce on the photos I saw, there was only a dryish splooged spot on my sandwich. The sauce was much more reminiscent of a honey mustard than a honey, which disappointed me, because I was hoping for a really sweet sauce. The chicken was not a breast like the Chick-Fil-A but more of a reconstituted meat, like McDonald's, and had a panko-like, dry coating on an evenly spaced and thin piece of chicken.The bacon was like an awful magic trick. I saw it. I smelled it. It crumbled in my mouth when I bit it. But I didn't taste it at all. The magic disappearing bacon. It tasted like Bac-O's had been mushed into a large strip of bacon, absolutely tasteless. I like my bacon a little chewy, a little crispy, with some fat on it, but this was just crisp, no taste. The cheese was good. It was a thick slice, but wasn't melted and because the chicken wasn't very hot, didn't melt at all. It was good. I would have rather had a better taste, like perhaps a pepper jack, but it did the job.
Overall, I was just disappointed. I saw so many delicious photographs, but this really dropped the ball. I have such faith in this sandwich that I just might trek to the one in Northern CT to try it again, so I hope it'll do the job. The ideal sandwich- the one I was expecting, was a nice, fried chicken breast with a honey sauce, jack cheese, crispy, juicy bacon, on a bun.
5/10- AVERAGE
The fries were nothing to shake a hat at. They were good fries, nice and thick, with a golden brown color and a good coating of salt, but none were over two inches long. It was like eating out of a garden of little, stubby midget fry fingers. Quite strange. Nonetheless, decent.5/10- GOOD
