Just went to the location on 3rd Ave / 56th. I too was impressed with the Ranch 1 Classic. I didn’t want fries and drink – so total was $4 and change. Bread was nice and lightly toasted. I would’ve liked a better chicken to bread ratio – too much bread.

[...] I love Ranch 1. I wrote about it a few weeks ago, and while I know not everyone is on board- I stand behind what I originally said. If you are looking for a grilled chicken sandwich, that tastes like real chicken, and french fries that taste like they are made from real potatoes (plus you don’t mind a chicken breast that has been pounded thin before being grilled) then Ranch 1 is your place. It’s one of the few fast food places my wife actually likes (loves is a more appropriate word)- and any place she’s into, where I can “get fries with that”, is alright with me!

I’ve been a fan of Ranch 1 for a while, they’re not bad but they do seem to close with disturbing regularity.

I went here yesterday–pretty weak. It’s not even a real Ranch 1. Menu is limited–no baked potatoes. And it includes some items that aren’t at “real” Ranch 1 locations: hamburgers? That’s odd. This franchisee is playing fast and loose with the brand.

Also: the barbecue sauce is sweeter than maple syrup. Virtually inedible. My chicken sandwich was pretty good on its own, though. But I only get one lunch a day. This place is NOT going into the rotation.

I believe that is “Chicken Bar”… another place I’ve been meaning to check out. They opened one up on 8th ave. in the 40s recently as well.

There used to be a Ranch 1 on 52nd between 3rd and Lex, but they renamed it and changed it to what I’ve always assumed to be another chicken sandwich place.
