Very good. Wings are dope. Chicken is also great. They offer puns that refer to star wars and apply chicken to the puns. Eat the chicken, it's super good. Argue about the star wars franchise later. read more

Bummed about my recent experience here. I had been craving one of their delicious chicken sandwiches so I placed an order for pickup (directly through their website). I know they open at 11am so I timed it with my errands so that I'd be swinging through around 1130am to grab the food. Run my errands and stop at Hen Solo on the way home only to come to a flashing "open" sign but the doors are locked and the restaurant is dark. I wait for a few minutes and finally see an employee come in the back door, and she comes out front. I told her I had a pickup order but since she literally just got there, I assume it wasn't ready and wouldn't be anytime soon. She asked if I could give her 20-30 minutes and I said no, I cannot - I timed it this way so that I could grab the food on my way back to work. I told her my name and order number, and asked her to cancel the order - which she said she would. Never did. Had to file a charge back on my credit card to get the money back. Them not opening on time has happened to me before but it was back when they first opened so I chalked it up to the fact that they were a brand new establishment. You guys have been open long enough to be able to open on time. If you're not going to, then you should turn off online ordering until someone is physically in the shop. read more

Giant portions. I repeat, multiple meal type portions with every single sandwich I've gotten. And its not cheap, un-tasty portions either. It is enjoyable every bite but yet too big to finish in a single sitting portions. If you enjoy Star Wars, you'll love the (not always subtle) names. If you do not enjoy Star Wars, you can still just show up for the food. Seating is limited (basically not existent), so you'll most likely be taking your order to go. You can order from a pair of kiosks or with someone at the front register. I recommend The Caprese Rebellion and The Parm Strikes Back. read more

The 12 Parsecs Caesar. Very good. Chicken was crispy but tender on the inside. Kale topping was flavorful and seeded roll was good. Will definitely be back. read more

Hen Solo - The 12 Parsecs Caesar. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I LOVE Hen Solo and highly recommend that everyone try it! Their menu stands out with its innovative, bold flavors that elevate classic sandwiches and tenders--and of course they have the most fun Star Wars-themed names like the Obi-One Wrap Combo with fries and a drink (that was so delicious) and the R2-Rabe Sharp Combo with fries and a drink. Their commitment to their customer service and genuine warmth earn them 5 stars!! Came in late with a friend 20 minutes before they close, and the two staff members were very accommodating and worked super hard with many orders--but executed extremely well!! Soooo yummy check them out!! read more

Hen Solo - The Obi-One Wrap with fries and a beverage - Chicken Shop Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

My bf and I decided to finally check out Hen Solo on Main Street in Manayunk and I'm glad we did. We walked in to place a to-go order, and our sandwiches (The Park Strikes Back and The Vodka Pesto Rebel) were ready in less than 10 months. Staff were friendly and the service was great. They don't have many seats inside but they have three bright yellow tables & chairs for those who want to dine in. We came home to find each sandwich is probably enough for 2-3 servings. I will be back to try other items on the menu. read more

I always thought this was comic store, so glad it turned out to Hen Solo, a Star Wars themed chicken spot. It's a humble establishment with an amazing menu, open kitchen concept, strong options and a chicken dish from every major cuisine. We tried a grilled chicken avocado sandwich, a huge cutlet sandwich ( with vodka sauce and pesto, and Nashville hot chicken sandwich and waffle fries. The second time I got the Japanese patsy sandwich, which was not my favorite. Still they have so many great items, service is amazing and fast, ambience is minimalist and inviting. read more

This place in manayunk is SLEPT on! I assumed this was another fast food hot chicken place like all the others popping up everywhere, but I was wrong! The food is resturant quality and so so good! The chicken cutlet sandwhiches are literally as long as my arm, so you get your moneys worth too. The Star Wars theme is just a fun bonus, this place is legit. read more

Let me just say that the chicken was phenomenal. Unbelievably juicy, great taste, served hot, with huge portions. My chicken parm must have weighed almost 2 pounds. The place itself was a tad small, but very clean and tidy. The employees were nice. I didn't have too much of an interaction with them other than calling my name when my order was ready. I really liked this place and WILL return. read more

I got the Fiery falcon, which is essentially their nashville hot chicken. It's supposed to be tossed in a fiery nashville hot sauce and also had chipotle mayo. The chicken was thick and was tender. However, the sandwich was not spicy at all and lacked flavor. I also had the dark side, which is a Korean flavored sandwich that tasted much better and had more flavor. The spicy mayo and spicy gochujang sauce did not deliver as much spice as I thought it would, but it was overall a flavorful sandwich. One big difference between the two was the amount of sauce. The dark side packed plenty of sauce while the fiery falcon lacked sauce. The fries were also cold and tasted stale. I think this place has potential especially because the dark side chicken sandwich tasted good. Considering the entire meal, it was overall mediocre. The folks who provide service are super nice and of course the ambiance is awesome. read more

I was so excited to try this place and I ordered on Uber eats. They were running a BOGO deal for the chicken sandwich. I specified putting the chicken sandwich in wrap form - it was an option on Uber eats. Lo and behold, I am delivered two wraps with eggplant instead of chicken? I figured it was an error, and really wanted a chicken wrap, so I decided to order the same thing that same evening. The same thing happened! The eggplant wraps were completely inedible... It literally contained unbreaded eggplant, pickles, and a wrap. I tried calling the restaurant and they never answered my call/voicemail. Super disappointing as I have otherwise heard great things about this place. read more

Heard great things about this place and wanted to try it for myself. Went down on a beautiful Thursday afternoon amidst a quick run during my lunch break and ordered the R2-Rabe with mozzarella. This was the biggest chicken sandwich I've probably ever had in my entire life. It was bursting with I believe 3 tenders stacked with really good broccoli rabe (they chopped it which I appreciate because I've found that the worst thing that can happen when you bite into a sandwich with a whole stalk of broccoli rabe is that it all comes out and the whole sandwich falls apart, this didn't happen here), good crispy onions, peppers and cheese. Everything about this sandwich hit. I don't think I can pick my favorite part of this meal. I also ordered the sweet potato waffle fries, which is rare to see on a menu but I'll order it every time I go now. The fries were crispy (which sometimes restaurants miss the mark on with sweet potatoes, as they're more of a finicky spud than regular white/yellow ones). I will definitely be back but right now I'm going to take a coma because that's what this sandwich did to me. Good night! read more

Finally got to try Hen Solo and WOW! Using their online ordering system was seamless, easy, and very convenient. My order said it would be ready in 15-20min but I left a little early and it was all ready to go! The inside of the restaurant only has a couple of tables, so it seems to cater more towards takeout - and that's ok! They have a self-service kiosk to order inside the restaurant or you can order at the counter with one of their kind employees. The food..... wow. I have no words! I ordered the 3 tender combo (includes waffle fries or chips & a drink) which was only $13. Sometimes (as we all know) takeout orders can get cold or soggy, but not at Hen Solo! I was amazed that the waffle fries were perfectly crispy, chicken still warm & juicy, and the experience left me wanting more immediately! I was shocked by not only the size of the chicken tenders & how great the fries were, but also their chicken is QUALITY. So juicy, so flavorful with the breading, and they also have so many options from sandwiches to tacos and more! I'm looking forward to trying more of their menu and visiting again soon! read more

Hen Solo - 3 Tender Combo with a side of waffle fries - Chicken Shop Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This is one of the best cutlet sandwiches I've ever had. The bread is soft, the cutlet was crispy, and the sauces were really delicious. I love the arugula so it doesn't feel as greasy. There was a little bit of a wait time because they do so many takeout orders, so if you don't want to wait, order ahead. It's a super small shop with seating for about 6. Combine that with the insane yellow lighting they have, it's not a welcoming dine in atmosphere. The staff were friendly and they do a great job packing the orders. Excellent takeout spot. read more

Sad to say I did not like my caprese chicken sandwich. The chicken did not taste very good and the other flavors of the sandwich did not complement each other. read more

My friend and I went to this restaurant to try their chicken cutlet sandwiches. We had the kale caesar cutlet combo with fries and got an extra sweet potato fries with spicy mayo to try. The fries, sauces, kale and bread were delicious. But the sandwich was very disappointing. The chicken should've been the star of the meal but sadly it was poor quality, severely overcooked, rubbery and hard. You couldn't pull it apart without force. The chicken breading didn't stay on at all and was left on the kale and bread. For the price of this sandwich, they really need to improve the quality of their chicken. read more

I used to go to go here when they first opened up and they had really great chicken sandwiches. I don't know what happened to the quality, but their food is horrible. Now the meat is barely meat anymore. The oil taste old, and their fries literally fall apart the moment you touched them. Save your money don't go here. read more

Good food, fun concept at this grab and go place. My chicken parm sandwich was enough for two people to share at Pretzel park

Came to hen solo from Endor, it was a long flight in the millennium falcon but it was worth it, I got the 6 x wings and Chewbacca had one and dipped it in the spicy Nashville sauce and got mad because it was so spicy. I love the ambience, it reminds me a little bit of Tatooine. Lastly the service was awesome it was faster than when Han Solo completed the 12 parsec run in the millennium falcon. read more

Great portion sizes, staff were very nice and reasonable pricing for amount of food you get

Eh. No vibe. Have go pay with a card. The fries are waffle fries and they were cold. Even on a busy Saturday night. They should have been fried fresh. They had the time. Not sure if I'd go back. The sandwiches I got were good but if you ask for the sauce on the sandwich on the side. They may not listen. read more

Quick takeout service for 10 people! Got the Thai (9/10) the Vodka Pesto (9/10) and the Caesar (9/10) sandwiches! FANTASTIC FOOD outta this world delicious small place welcoming ambiance. read more

I stumbled into here by accident and glad that I did. After a brief scroll of their menu, I chose the burrito &'glad I did. It was chock full of chopped chicken, rice, beans and peppers. The sauces on the side (red and green) were fresh and had the right amount of kick, especially the green! I'm glad this spot is here - main st has needed a to go sandwich & burrito spot for a while. I'll be back to try their long seeded sandwiches and waffle fries next time around. read more

great food, great vibe. i had the dark side which was delish. my husband had the fiery falcon, but i think mine was better.

This place is great not only is the food amazing, but it's open until 2 am on Fridays and Saturdays. I love the Star Wars theme and the employees are very friendly. read more

These sandwiches are HUGE! They gave me more chicken than I think I've ever gotten in a sandwich. I got three portions from one sandwich, and it was even amazing heated up in the microwave. I got the caprese rebellion (minus bruschetta and arugula). sooo good . My boyfriend got the parm strokes back, which was equally as good, and the flavor profile took me so many places, it tasted like meatballs and spaghetti, but also pizza, and of course a delicious chicken cutlet sandwich. Ugh we came from 45 minutes away and it was worth it! read more

Very friendly staff and great food! I've ordered a few times and it's always ready on time
