Flock Rotisserie + Greens

Very very good chicken. Maybe the best rotisserie chicken I have ever had. The 2.5 stars is because I just got home and there was barely any sauce with it!!! Pic to follow. Not sure if it was just a mistake?

Great food, great service.
Polite and friendly people.
Healthy and fresh options. The salads are packed with awesome ingredients.
Best rotisserie chicken I’ve ever had. Super juicy and the pepper sauce is incredible. The sweet potatoes have so much flavour and cooked just right.
Would come back again and again.

My girlfriend I and shared the Boho bowl and added Chicken and Avocado. The full price was 19 bucks and change, with no drink.
We were very disappointed with the food.
For 20 dollars I expect fresh ingredients, nuanced flavours and generous portions.
There are several things they are doing wrong with this particular dish. The dressing, is too watery and so does not cling to the salad ingredients, there is also too little dressing so it does not coat the kale at the bottom of the bowl.
The fridges in which they are storing the shredded beat, quinoa, kale and other ingredients is too cold, and the ingredients are not fresh enough. That means they are cold in the bowl, slightly slimy and dull in flavour.
Similarly the chicken used as an add-​on for the salads, is clearly day-​old chicken that they strip off their unsold rotisserie chickens from the day before. It is unflavourful and classless. It feels like microwaved left over turkey from your weird neighbour.
It’s hard for any salad to live up to a 20 dollar price tag, but it was clear with the gaggle of clueless staff, and cumbersome managers tripping over managers, that their inflated prices pays for an unoptimized work force and a flashy high ticket storefront space. I would like to see workers preparing fresh ingredients behind the counter rather than standing idly watching their managers hectically prepare 10 bowls at once.
The obnoxious social media smarts of these restaurant owners far outstrips their understanding of flavours, freshness, and value. The restaurant is housed in a pleasant glass cube in the Entertainment district, but certain small essentials have been overlooked. Salt and Pepper in little paper packages, NO HOT SAUCE, insufficient seating, cumbersome paper plates stored in the dining area disrupting the visual harmony.
We DID share a bowl, but both found ourselves hungrier when we were finished than when we had began.
I am still eager to try their whole rotisserie chicken, but I do not recommend their overpriced, underwhelming salads.
Overall Flock’s amateurish approach to soulless food leaves me hungry, offended and poor.

I’ve had it catered many times and stopped in for take away, never disappointed. Always full of flavour and a go to healthier lunch spot!

Simple food options that revolve around chicken and power salads. The chicken sandwich here is tops and only $ 8. It’s their pulled rotisserie chicken served on a soft bun topped with guac, fried onion, and this INcredible beet horseradish. The flavours are a perfect match. Easily one of the best chicken sandwiches I’ve tried. They also have sides you can add-​on for $ 4. The sweet potato is pretty good. Their salads are next on my list!

flock on… flock off… flock good… but never flock bad!
a blog site that i frequent, recommended this place as a «new age swiss chalet» personally i think that’s disrespectful to swiss chalet… Swiss chalet can’t hold a candle to this place… truthfully.
located within a comfortable walking distance from either queen or king street, this one off spot, is utterly simple and amazing, everything is promoted as super fresh, and super fresh is what you get. walked in to find a concrete sanctuary of what seemed like a hall style restaurant, what with the high ceilings, everything is super bright and the menu display is very legible. i was a bit taken back by how many people were not eating dinner at this restaurant. as when we walked it, we were the only customers. my first «complaint» if at all, they have a tiny piece of space on the menu board that says to order here… but it is behind a concrete pillar. ordered the food, and sat down to one of a dozen seats. the food arrived at the table (impressive) within about ten minutes if that, i loved how we could watch the open display of it all… the start of the meal, all the way to being wrapped up, and brought to our table.
now to the good stuff
The absolute flavor of this food, is amazing, i love how they combine ingredients together to make an amazing and light blend come together. not withstanding as a hot sauce freak, they offer a hot sauce here, that is on the medium scale, very flavorful and very balanced, which is hard to accomplish, the chimichurri sauce was ok… as i was fascinated with the hot sauce.
very happy to have spent a date night here, great food, cozy environment, killer staff service and amazing ingredients\hot sauce.
bbq pulled chicken FTW… im a fan, and i will flock here more often ;)
P. S. they have free wifi :)

This street seems to be the go to spot for new restaurants as I pretty much spot a new one every visit. This place was intriguing as hardly anyone does rotisserie chicken right (read always overcooked and loaded with sodium). However this place neither vowed nor disappointed. They do use naturally raised hormone free chicken which is a plus if you are into health food. The place had a steady flow of customers when my DC and I showed up. They had a promo of 2 half chicken and salad + side so instead of ordering a whole chicken we went for that. The size of the chicken is not bigger than the one’s offered at grocery stores (definitely smaller than the CostCo version) It is not loaded with sodium thankfully. The white meat was overcooked though. Chimichuri is not my fav sauce to begin with I did enjoy the house pepper sauce. The salad will please the healthy eaters for sure as there were a lot of ingredients in there. Sweet potato side was decent as well. Overall I can’t rate it above Nandos. This place will be handy if you want to grab and go something fast as the dinning space inside isn’t very inviting.
3.5 stars.

Very delicious. I had the Boho Flock with avocado and was very impressed. I wouldn’t have put pomegranates in my own salad it they did it so so well. Plus the beets and quinoa were amazing.
It’s a small space so it’s packed during lunch but there are outlets available so if you do grab a seat it’s a great place to work from.
I would definitely come back to try the rest of their salads!

Everyone should be flocking to Flock!
To be honest, my first experience at Flock was not pleasant. I had made the mistake of placing my order through Hurrier, a food delivery company. Unfortunately, Hurrier «hurried» the order. The Fancy Flock salad with chicken ($ 10) was submerged in liquid and had random bones in the salad. It looks like the salad was regurgitated by a bird of some sort (pun intended)
I had e-​mailed Flock about my experience and head Flocker, Cory Vitiello had offered a complimentary meal to compensate for the lackluster experience. Second time around, Cory had entrusted an Über driver with the sacred lunch. Unfortunately, the hungry Über driver had flocked away with my lunchtime delight.
Third time around, Cory had arrived to my office in a taxi. He brought a bunch of goodies including a new side (roasted miso brussel sprouts), a large Power flock made with Kale, a large Fancy Flock, pulled rotisserie chicken sandwich and two bottles of Pierre water. I still have left overs for another day after sharing the meal with my colleague. The food was beyond delicious. As much as I had adored the salads, the chicken sandwich in brioche buns was by far my favorite. The bun has a hint of garlic butter. The sandwich itself was garnished with beet & apple horseradish, dijon mayo, green leaf, crispy onion, tomato & avocado. It was an interplay of flavours and texture. If I have to eat a sandwich for the rest of my life, this would be it!
Thank you for your generosity Cory! I will be flocking to Flock for lunch and dinner!

Decided to check it out due to the hype. And it mostly lives up to it.
It’s simple: they sell rotisserie chicken and salad — that’s it. It’s part of the that ‘healthy food’ trend– but it’s not lacking in taste and flavour.
Grabbed the pulled rotisserie chicken sandwich ($ 8) and the steamed squash with pumpkin seeds and spicy yogurt ($ 4 — but no longer on the current menu, they must rotate them). The chicken sandwich was very good — all the toppings work great together on a top-​notch bun. I actually really liked the squash side — it sounds like a bunch of bullshit health-​nut nonsense — but it was very tasty and filling.
Had a bit of the lady’s salad ($ 11 full size) with the tuna (+$ 3) add-​on and it seems to merits the high pricepoint — lots of fresh ingredients and they work great as a whole.
Yup — I like this salad bar. Colour me surprised.

I had the boho salad and opted to add pulled chicken and avocado. Even at the half size this was very filling and I have to say is probably the best salad I’ve ever had. There was a definite medley of flavours and textures. Everything tasted very fresh.
The pulled chicken was okay but I will definitely come back to try the rotisserie!

I’ve only been to flock once but it was amazing and I’ve been longing to return since the first time I ate their food!
I got the power flock (minus goji berries) and it was absolute perfection. I loved the combination of the squash with the avocado and edamame and alfalfa sprouts! I could go on but I definitely recommend the power flock, I think it’s their signature dish too!
I added chicken into mine and only got the half size (I’m a hungry gal and that was more than filling for me!!!) The chicken was amazing, they gave a good portion and it didn’t cost very much to add it in.
I discovered this place because I was interning throughout the summer at eTalk in the Bell building and Flock is about a 5 minute walk away. After I started raving about how good it was I realized many others were into it as well, including Ben Mulroney eTalk’s anchor! From what I understand he lives a very healthy lifestyle and eats very clean so for him to say he likes Flock gives it the stamp of healthy approval :)
I will definitely be returning! Maybe to try something different, maybe the same thing; but either way I’ll be back :)

Post Run Meal… Flock was the best decision we made tonight.
I had the half Power Flock and added chicken ($ 7 plus $ 3 for the chicken). The bowl was filled with goodness, it was absolutely spectacular. The bowl contained so much protein, from the chicken, chickpeas and edamame beans. The miso dressing was what put the whole meal together, however in my opinion I think that they over did it a little bit with the dressing.
Overall for the price, you are definitely getting your money’s worth.

You win, darling husband. Flock rocks.
I had the Frenchie salad last night, hold the onions, add cheese and a side of chicken. It was a huge, healthy meal. I was left feeling full and great afterwards. Even though Flock has a few choice salads that are mega popular, they still make each one to order, something you can taste.
Flock here for you lunch or supper.
I’ve found your flock, Shepherd.
OK, I’m done.

Flock yeah!
Today was my first day at a new job — visiting headquarters in a new city, a new country. They offered to order me lunch (woot!), and showed me the Flock menu.
I didn’t even make it past the first section.
The minute I read the description of the Pulled Chicken Sandwich I was sold. And then to find sweet potatoes as a side option? It’s like they knew what I needed in life to feel at home, sated, and ready to work for the rest of the afternoon.
And when the goods were delivered? Everything I’d dreamed of and then some. Great combinations of flavors — way to take a chicken sandwich to new heights! And that bun… the portions were ample enough thatI had the leftovers for dinner just now, and I’m probably going to be running down to Flock for lunch all week.
Fast, healthy, tasty — Flock on with your bad selves ;)

I kept hearing such good things about this place from my friends so naturally I had to see what all the buzz was about. Super pleased I went here today! I got the pulled chicken sammy and the sweet potatoes. Honestly– at first I though it was too expensive ($ 14 with tax) for a quick lunch but it was SO worth the money. The portions were a perfect size too!
I went at lunch time and I was worried it would take long but I ordered my food and only had to wait about 3 – 5 min even though the place was packed.
The food itself was really tasty– The chicken was moist and the toppings on the sammy were all fresh and OH MAN that bun– I can honestly say it was some of the best bread I have ever had.
Over all I am super happy I went and I will be back for a salad bowl next.
Now go on and flock to flock! (sorry I had to)

Food: 8.5÷10
Atmosphere: ⁸⁄₁₀
Service: N/​A
Overall experience: 8.5÷10
Grabbed takeout from Flock last week and would highly recommend. For two people, we ordered a whole chicken (with the Caribbean pepper sauce) and the Boho Flock salad (large).
The chicken was hot and moist, even after a fair walk back home. The salad was particularly scrumptious, I really enjoyed the surprise bursts of pomegranate and dried currant in it.
THE BOTTOM LINE: it’s not anything fancy, but it’s really good.

My experience with Flock is a tale of customer service. I work in the restaurant industry, and one time we had a woman complain to us (for non-​valid reasons). We sent her a gift card to make it up to her, and she wrote us an email saying when she complains to a business she wants two things: for the to acknowledge her complaint and listen to her, and for them to do something to try to make it up to her. I agree with that idea, and Flock came through in a big way.
If I had a normal experience with Flock, I’d give it three stars. It definitely adds value to the neighbourhood, and fills an empty niche — lunch spot with healthy, fresh meals. It closes at 8 pm, so this won’t be your dinner spot unless it’s a pick up on your way home from work. The first time we tried it, it was just a few days after opening. We ordered for pick up — phoned in at 7:50 pm and the woman answering the phone said they closed at 8. We ordered two custom salads. Went to pick it up, there was total chaos and disorganization in there (sort of understandable, it had just opened). When we got home (which is less than 3 minutes away), our salads were completely wrong — wrong dressing, missing ingredients (which we had paid extra for, like avocado and egg), and just overall a disappointment. I was missing some of the best parts of the salad! Since the place was now (we figured) closed for the day, we decided to just write in about our experience the following day.
We wrote to the restaurant and Cory (the owner, and chef from Harbord Room/​THR) wrote us back write away (personally!). He said to let him know the next time we were coming in, and he’d make it right. Very good response, the right kind, and so fast. We took him up on his offer yesterday, when we wrote in and said we’d be stopping by for take out again — he said they would make us a bunch of stuff (chef’s choice, I guess!). This ended up including a whole chicken, two of their salad creations, and their two sides on offer.
My thoughts on the food (which is skewed because totally free and therefore more awesome): the salads were really good. My eating companion doesn’t eat delicious things, so he had them omit some stuff that would have made these salads even better, but they were good. The chicken was good, although not any better than those pre-​cooked whole chickens you buy at the grocery store, but it’s nice to have already hot, cooked chicken waiting for you. I liked the sweet potato side, it had a good kick to it, but the acorn squash was weird as heck. The kind of weird where I kept going back to it being like, «This is so weird…» but not something I’d order on my own.
So in conclusion: customer service A+. Addition to the neighbourhood: A+. Will go back, and try other things, because they secured me as a repeat customer!

Holy Flock.
This place just opened in the new condo building at Peter and Adelaide Street, right next to the also new, also wonderful Starbucks.
I’ve heard great things and they have VERY healthy salad options, so I figured why not try it out. I was not disappointed. The staff were super friendly and knowledgable, the place was very clean, and the ingredient are unbelievably fresh.
I had the Power Flock salad to go. It’s loaded with ultra healthy ingredient and the best part is — it has flavour. Often times when you get really healthy salads you are sacrificing taste. Certainly not the case here. Their in house white miso dressing is light and Delish.
Gotta say I’m very pleased with my experience here and hopefully they keep up the great work. Definitely will be back soon and often.
Enjoy!

Soooooooooooooo pleased with this place. I just ate my dream meal here.
They have HUGE rotisserie chickens, these are full sized chickens, not the little grocery store type ones you get at Loblaw for $ 10.
They also have a fresh salad bar where you can pick from one of their 4 salads or create your own. Think Freshii but with way better premium ingredients (kale, goji berries, sprouts, etc).
Overall the menu is super healthy, they serve chicken sandwiches and have a few other sides but it’s not a greasy fries and onion rings type shit.
We took home a whole chicken ($ 17) and one of the salads (Power Salad, $ 11) for dinner and it was so delicious that I have to write about it as it digests in my stomach. The chicken was super moist and came with a spicy sophisticated chimichuri type sauce on the side. I will definitely be back for repeat take out visits.
