I love chicken tenders and Comet Chicken might be my new favorite spot! I got the churro and chicken combo, 2 chicken tenders, 2 churros and fries with two sauces. I got the buffalo and ranch. The chicken is so juicy and decent sized tenders. The sauces.. so good! THe ranch is delicious and the buffalo was the perfect mild buffalo sauce, tangy and a little kick. The churros were good too. The fries!! Yum!! Has a good sweet hint to them in the seasoning, think similar to a popular chicken wing place .. but better! Will definitely be back. They may have been under staffed (is what it seemed like with one guy running from the register to the back) but they handled it well and food came out timely and perfect. read more

I've returned. The chicken tender quality has gotten better. Service by the staff has always been authentic.

Dropped in for take out... staff was really nice and food was great - super moist chicken, not at all greasy.

Chicken, my favorite! Comet Chicken is hard to spot when driving by, but once you spot it you're on your way. Fast and easy service where you order at the front and they bring it out to your table. The staff were all courteous, kind and helpful. The interior is gorgeous and very well spaced out and designed. Table, booth, high top and patio seating, yeah, they have it all. We opted for the tender meals and weren't wowed, but it's good food. The sauces are odd in flavor and the coleslaw could have tasted better, but the chicken and fries were on point. If I'm ever back I think I'd try one of the sandwiches or tasty looking bowls. read more

I always have a hard time finding a place with gluten free food and this place is amazing their buns taste like actual bread and for a decent price every time I go it's no more the 16 and you don't have to pay extra for the gluten free. Also the soda there is really good I looove the black cherry soda is now my favorite drink and the service is really great. Thank you guys for being considerate with your options for gluten free. read more

I stopped in at Comet Chicken during the fall Downtown Restaurant Week -- the one that coincided with lighting of holiday lights -- because I noticed that they had a banh mi "birddog" as one of their special offerings and it sounded like it would hit the spot for lunch. I was thinking that the birddog was a slider of some sort, but it is actually a chicken tender sandwich served in a hot dog bun ... kinda clever, if you ask me. The chicken tender fits perfectly in the hot dog bun so is probably a little easier to deal with than the regular sandwiches where a couple of tenders slide around in a hamburger bun. The best part of the birddog is indeed the chicken tender -- as so many have noted, it is large, has a super crisp coating, and is perfectly-cooked, juicy chicken breast meat. I'd say that it was banh mi-inspired, with sriracha mayo and some pickled vegetables and jalapenos ... I would have liked a bigger hit of the pickled vegetables and maybe a few sprigs of cilantro to brighten up every fried chicken bite. I made it a meal by adding space fries and a drink. I'm not sure that I would spring for the space fries again as I didn't find anything particularly special about the spice blend that distinguishes them from regular fries, but the fries were perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I also like that they have Boylan's sodas -- if I'm gonna have a soda it might as well be sweetened with cane sugar (I mean really, are diet sodas really all that good for you?) I took my order to go since (a) I was just passing through downtown on my way somewhere else and (b) I'm not super jazzed about eating indoors with yet another COVID surge happening in FoCo, but when things get back to semi-normal I can see this being a place I'd be happy to hang out. The dining area is bright and open with high ceilings and just enough chicken & space decor to be charmingly quirky. I'm looking forward to trying a few more things off of their menu -- I mean, how did I not notice that they have churros until after I placed my order? I love how they embrace their fried food core competency and expect I will be back sooner rather than later. read more

The chicken quality is good, the fries were cooked the way fries should be, but the salt was overwhelming. Service was friendly and fast. I liked the cole slaw and still don't understand why it isn't listed as a side on the corporate website menu or on the in-store menu. You need to know they serve it and ask for it. In my opinion, the slaw was the best part of the meal. Mostly because it cut the overwhelming amount of salt in the chicken batter and on the fries. The excessive salt is what will keep me from returning. read more

Stopped at Comet Chicken for a late lunch and weren't disappointed. Their menu is limited but it does the job well. We ordered the 4 piece, which comes with fries and two sauces and is enough for two people to share. The sodas are off brand, but we thought the ginger ale and the cream soda were really good. The food was fresh, hot and delicious. We sat outside enjoying the nice weather. Definitely recommend. read more

Comet Chicken - 4 Piece Basket with fries and two sauces, house and ranch. - Salad Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

I've now ordered chicken from Comet Chicken twice - once for delivery, once for takeout, and I am in love (as you can tell by the different angles of the same sandwich, just so you can appreciate each side of goodness)! I walked in most recently in the middle of the week, and strolled right up to the counter. A bubbly young woman bounced up from the kitchen and asked what we were looking for, suggesting the Nashville hot if we liked spice. Yes, yes, I do like spice! I ordered the Nashville hot sandwich, opting out of the combo she offered, since I knew I'd be more than full after seeing the size of another sandwich heading out the door. When I unwrapped this massive beauty, I knew I was in for some delicious pain. The crust of the chicken glistened with fiery sauce, the fluffy bun soaked up the drippings from the fresh slaw and piping hot oil from frying the chicken. The first bite was perfect - sweet crisp followed by a wave of spicy heat, which was tempered by the creamy slaw. I devoured the entire thing and wasn't mad about it. Since it's walking distance from work now, I foresee a few very unhealthy, but oh-so-delicious, options to many upcoming meals! read more

The only thing that kind of bothers me here is that they use an alternative brand for their fountain drinks. I mean, it's great to see something that is not the usual beverage giants but personally I am not a fan of the diet cola by this brand, it has a very distinct flavor that I found that people either like or can't stand - it's absolutely NOT one of those cases where if you're blindfolded you wouldn't be able to tell the difference! Other than that everything is super and fresh. I would still recommend to improve the coleslaw a little bit but the 'meat' here is the chicken and fries and they really make those to perfection. Also, I find that this place being maybe a block away from College Ave (the main street) is a little less crowded, or maybe this was just a coincidence in the 2-3 times I was here. Now with COVID restrictions still in place there is less seating space though. read more

The chicken is simple but done perfectly especially with a fair price. Slaw and fries were great too. Get the house made sauce

The food is the reason I come back here every time I visit Foco, but the service is what I am reviewing for. Absolutely 100% stellar. Sweet service and a cool spot to eat great chicken. 1000/10 read more

This is definitely one of my favorite fast food places in Fort Collins. It's quick and always super yummy. They have a pretty unique variety of different sandwiches but whatever you get is gonna be good. I love the Vietnamese style sandwhich. read more

I was really impressed by the professional follow up to my previous complaint. I was able to revisit Comet Chicken and had a much better experience on my return. read more

Dylan 8.5/10 Kacie 8/10 We got the Bandit Bird Sandwich and Nuggets and Fries. The SERVICE was FAST and the PRICE was GOOD, definitely worth it. It is your typical sit down fast food type vibe, but the fried chicken is by far the HEALTHIEST I have ever had. read more

I got the chicken and churros. Chicken tenders and fries are nothing special, churros are not recognizable as churros they had a chalky texture and somehow didn't taste sweet. Staff were friendly, and food came out promptly but I'd look for somewhere else to eat. read more

Blast off! Simple and delicious fried chicken. Wait staff was on point. Cool collage vibe walk in order and sit down.

Forget chick fil a! This is your chicken spot! The chicken has such a fresh flavor to it. It's perfectly crispy, tender, and flavorful. Their fries are as perfect as fries can get. I love their original chicken sandwich. It's mouthwatering. I would suggest topping it with coleslaw and buffalo sauce! If you're a pickle lover, don't even worry about asking for extra! They do not skimp. They do not have coke or Pepsi products which is a bit of a let down because it's all cane sugar sodas.. They're following precautions with COVID, so keep in mind that no refills are allowed, keep your mask on unless you're eating. read more

Great service, fantastic food, chill atmosphere! Came here with my son after moving him out of his apartment. So glad he said "let's get Comet Chicken" and wish wish wish there was one by where we live. One of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had! If you're in Fort Collins...go! read more

The chicken and fries were delicious! I loved the ranch with the chicken! I could have easily eaten the chicken all night long.

Comet Chicken - a basket of fries and a sandwich - Salad Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

Food is good. Service is trash rude ordertakers who are obviously not trained. Needs an employee overhaul

Comet Chicken was an awesome experience all around. First, there was ample seating, which is always nice to have in a fast casual restaurant. The menu had awesome options at affordable prices. Sandwiches were $6 and baskets started at $7. There were also great gluten free options. I got the two tender basket and it came with fries and slaw. All 3 were top notch. The tenders were crisp but not over battered. The fries were great, packed with flavor, but not over salted. The slaw had awesome flavor. My only gripe was I only got one sauce and the second was 30 cents. Would be nice to have gotten a second sauce for free. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. This has become a restaurant favorite of ours in Fort Collins. read more

Comet Chicken - 2 Tender Basket - Salad Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

Holy smokes, Comet Chicken is THE BEST. We came here on a whim while walking around Old Town and it exceeded expectations. I got the Bhan Mi chicken sandwich with grilled chicken and a gluten free bun, and it was out of this world good. The service was amazing. When I was ordering they were able to tell me all the ingredients to make sure it was actually GF and warned me about the 1 Tbs of soy sauce that was in their sauce batch mix. The GF bun was the best I ever had, and the grilled chicken had incredible flavor. It was moist and delicious. Excited to come back here one day when I'm in town! Definitely a new favorite spot in Fort Collins! read more

This place looks like your average local fried chicken spot. I was not expecting to be so impressed by the food here. Seriously some of the best fried chicken I have had and the truffle puts it over the top. Not to mention the service was extremely good. I waited less than 10 minutes from the time I ordered to receiving my food. To locals and visitors alike, comet chicken is worth the trip read more

We ordered delivery to our hotel, it took awhile but we weren't in a hurry at the guy delivery said he got stuck by a train so that is completely understandable. We were recommended this place by a local, the food is amazing, but the spice fries are VERY SPICY, I was so not ready for that. I couldn't finish the fries but I'm not a spicy food person, my boyfriend absolutely loved it read more

Happy hour chicken sandies! Enough said! Double the quality and half the price of any other chicken sandwich spot in town. Chick fil a, never heard of them. Music city, don't know who you're talking about. Comet chicken is where it's at for that delicious chicken sandwich you're craving, with delectable sauces and a refreshing brew! Happy hour everyday too, cmon! read more

Best chicken around! My husband and I love comet chicken as it's good quality food at affordable prices. Great spot to check out!

Pretty good chicken place. I really love the interior design, the buffalo chicken sammy was delicous and no peanuts used there which is great. The beers and drinks were a bit over priced and not quite advertised as is on menu price but still a great experience none the less. I do have to say it's semi hard to eat the sandwhiches with 2 wings in them instead of 1 patty (they slide out either side) but the chicken was so good I didn't even care. Luckily they provided tons of napkins ;) I'm sure 2 pieces of chicken is much less artificial than a patty anyways! Yummy!!! Would come back for more. read more

Came here for the chicken, but will 100% return for the churros. Fries were good, chicken could have had crispier breading. The sauces were good. The employee at the front was helpful and kind. Great customer service. The seating was nice and spread out as well. read more

Still love Comet Chicken. Have visited 3x since my original review because I found myself craving that delicious burn. Comet continues to deliver a quality product that draws me in. Tonight's batch of Nashville hot didn't burn as much as the last but the slaw is a great cooling agent. My only desire would be a storefront across from my office! Loved, loved, loved their Nashville tenders! Whole family loved them, in fact. They've got a nice kick and they're not greasy. Comet is a bit stingy with their pickles, though. I'm finicky when it comes to chicken; I actively avoid the pressed and glued stuff. Comet's chicken definitely passed the test. My only other complaint is that I paid for a few extra tenders (sans Nashville sauce) for my son, but the restaurant forgot to include them in my order. We ordered the family meal, which is a definite value. Coleslaw and blue cheese were average. Brownies too; they're big so that was a nice surprise. Overall, we'll be visiting Comet again. Soon.Those Nashville tenders are simply too good to pass up! read more

Finally got around to trying Comet Chicken and I was really impressed. I got the three piece chicken tender basket with crispy chicken and it comes with fries, a small side of coleslaw, and I chose the House Sauce, which the cashier explained as a mayo and ketchup base finished with garlic and pepper. Everything was delicious! I typically tell people that I "hate" coleslaw, but it looked good at Comet Chicken so I tried it and surprisingly, I ate all of it - so good! The House Sauce and ranch were perfect for the chicken and fries. The chicken to breading ratio was perfect and the chicken was tender and hot. There was a tad too much seasoning on the fries, but not a big deal, they were still great. The price for what you get definitely seems fair. We got a 3-piece chicken tender basket, a 4-piece chicken tender basket, and two drinks for a little over $20, not too bad. I want to go back and try the 2-piece chicken basket with churros...YUM! I'm a fan. read more

I would give this a 4 star for decent food but the coleslaw didn't have any flavor at all. The staff was no where to be found after I got my order. Finally a young kid, (I see all the staff were young ) but this kid came out and I had to flag him down before he even acknowledged me. I told him I had been standing there 10 minutes. He scoffed and went back into the kitchen commenting on me and my apparent need. Sorry only downfall in living in a college town is this entitled shit who apparently thinks he's better than anyone else. Quit you job if you don't like it. read more

We were saddened that Comet closed during the first few weeks of Covid but so excited to see them re-open. Their fries are the tastiest in town and we always get double servings of everything. Delicious! P.S. We made the mistake of trying Cane's while they were closed and still regret the taste buds we destroyed. read more

Being from Nashville my standard for chicken is pretty high! For the area this is probably my favorite place for the price point. I've been here multiple times the last couple years and ordered delivery. So far, it's never disappointed!! They don't have too crazy of a flavor menu which I prefer and the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich is pretty fire read more

We always return to this spot. Has been one of our faves since the day they opened. The food is very good and it's kid friendly. Staff is always really nice, too. Their sauces are excellent! read more

Oh yeah, this place slaps. I'd Say it's below Canes but it's certainly close. The only reason I have to drop a star is because of the inconsistency in the chicken tender size and doneness of the fries. Sometimes you get fair sized chicken, sometimes not. Sometimes you get overcooked fries, sometimes not. It's really a toss up but it still tastes pretty good read more
