Rock-n-Roll Fingers

I almost cried when I found out Rock n’ Roll fingers had closed! This place without a doubt had the best chicken fingers and fries I have ever had. Always super fresh chicken with crispy fries and toast. Their signature peppery dipping sauce was amazing!
The best part was the owner (co-​owner) Alan who, even though I lived in another STATE always remembered my name when I came in a few times a year to eat. I will miss this place very much and am now forced to go to Raising Cane’s which is also good but not like this place. I hope they re-​open some day!

Overly priced for chicken fingers which are nothing great at all. Canes for the win.

Rock-​n-​Roll fingers is one of the best places in town if you ask me. It’s some of the best chicken fingers that I’ve ever had — not that I”m an authority or anything, but these are my favorite. The chicken strips are super moist but not soggy, and they are usually BIG. Two of them plus fries is more than enough for me usually, and it costs about $ 6.
One of the best parts about this place is the owner. He’s almost always working the cash register, and he’s just a super nice, hard ass working guy. He’s always been pleasant to talk too, and he makes you feel like a regular after just a visit or two. He’ll even dip one of your strips in the buffalo sauce if you want just one thats spicy — I recommend it!
All in all its good people making great food.

I’ve said it b4 an ill say it again, some of the best chicken fingers I’ve ever had, I love this family owned chicken place!!! Rock and roll fingers ROCK!!!

This little mom-​and-​pop place offers one thing. Chicken tenders. They may say fingers but these deep-​fried tenders are big, plump, juicy, and well-​seasoned. I have always gotten the regular box combo — the fries are average, the garlic-​butter-​griddled Texas toast is good and very homely. There are 8 different dipping sauces but it’s the special sauce that makes the tenders awesome sauce. If you get the tenders to go, put a hole on the top of the box and a napkin inside — the tenders will get soggy.
While waiting, there are little games at the tables such as mini Connect-​4. The décor is historic rock-​n-​roll with a bit of old time diner feel. Call ahead as the hours are sometimes on ‘family time’.
Chicken tenders are not sophisticated but it’s done consistently and pretty well here.

Chicken’s awesome here! So moist and tender. Their Texas Toast and fries were so crispy and very good. I deducted 1 star since the service was very slow. The place only had one guy running the front and cooking up the food. But no matter, I’ll definitely be back.

I came to this place, because I had chicken strips on my mind all morning, and came here after reading all the great reviews. I LOVE chicken strips, I think I could live off them. So I came here, the place was small, (which is good) and was helped by a guy who was very nice. He explained to me that is family owned, and how fresh the chicken was. At this point, I couldn’t wait to get to my food! I ordered the regular box buffalo style, and he even threw in an extra chicken strip! He also gave me extra dipping sauce (thai chili) which he said goes good with buffalo. I ate my meal and it was like heaven in my mouth. The chicken, the fries the sauce, the service. Everything was excellent! I just wish they could stay open later. Great Place!

Better then decent chicken fingers. Small place with no atmosphere. The coating on the chicken is light and not greasy. Special sauce really good– better then I thought it would be. Waffle cut fries are tasty too with seasoning salt. Definitely worth a trip.

Way better than Raising Cane’s.
My boyfriend works at Raising Cane’s chicken strips and one day we found out about this place, and wanted to compare the food. We walked in, and were greeted by the owner who took our order and asked if it was our first time. We told him it was, and he recommended the special, which came with 3 tenders (i’m pretty sure), toast, waffle fries and your choice of sauce. They have their special sauce, ranch, barbecue, a tangy sweet/​sour sauce, and a honey mustard sauce to chose from. We both went with the special sauce to compare it to Cane’s.
When we sat a the table to wait, there were mini Connect4 games there waiting for us to play with while we waited for our food. What an awesome idea!
We got our food fast, and it was hot! Our plates were loaded, and it looked and smelled delicious. The owner gave us each two extra tenders to try on the house, which were dipped in wing sauce. They were out of this world. He also gave us one of each kind of sauce to try. Rock-​n-​Roll Fingers’ special sauce tasted almost identical to the sauce at Raising Canes, but it was a little thicker in consistency, and just tasted better. The regular chicken tenders were heavenly! I prefer their breading to Cane’s, as it was lighter and crispier, and the chicken was wayyy juicier here. The waffles fries were to die for, and so was the Texas toast.
If you’re a fan of Raising Cane’s, you have got to try Rock-​n-​Roll Fingers. You will never eat at Cane’s again. You don’t need to take my word for it, go try it for yourself!

This place is awesome. It has good music and great food. The chicken fingers are huge. They’re nice and crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The Texas toast is awesome as well and the waffle cut fries are always good.
The special sauce is good on chicken or fries. I normally get buffalo style fingers so I get ranch for them. My coworkers and I heard about this place from another coworker and gave it a shot. Do the same and you’ll be happy you did. Make sure to get the word out about this place since the city doesn’t really allow them to put put A-​frame signs on th street to advertise and it’s not that easy to notice while driving by.
The place has only been pretty busy one of the 4 times I’ve been here. Every other time there was plenty of seating. I would assume there is normally plenty of seating and that all the tables being full only happens from time to time during the week.
The only thing I would change about the place is change out the coke for Pepsi (I’m a big Pepsi fan). I can’t complain though because the food is great, you get what you pay for and that is an awesome meal that is different from the normal fast food burgers a lot of my coworkers want for lunch.

Yum!
What a great local place. The restaurant is family owned and operated so the service is friendly and warm.
The chicken fingers are dipped in a great batter and servers warm, I suggest the buffalo and special sauce. Then you also get a big piece if Texas toast!
This is exactly how chicken fingers are supposed to taste. I can’t wait to come back.
Check this place out you won’t regret it!

Best chicken fingers I’ve had. Other options in the Valley can get close (i.e. Raising Cane’s) but this place is unparalleled.
This is a really small place, about as local as it gets — so feel good about spending your money here! Talk up the owner and bring your friends — he’ll hook you up with extra sauce or an extra finger.

These are hands down the best chicken fingers I’ve ever had. Get the «special sauce.» Get a second; it’s worth it. They use a recipe developed in Alabama.
I live in the northwest valley and I’m kind of glad. Because if I lived in Tempe, I’d be 15 – 20 lbs heavier because I’d be gorging myself at this place once a week.

Oh god. The fingers. I award stars based on the context of the restaurant. For a fast/​fried food place, this place reigns supreme. I found it on Unilocal and I’m so glad I suggested it to the office because holy crap can Alan fry up some chicken.
I love that the breading is light and simple; you’re not eating through eight inches of batter. You get right down to business. Meaty, delicious, tender, fresh business. Their chicken is never frozen which goes a LONG way when it comes to quality frying. It’s flavorful and fantastic. And whatever their special sauce is (I’ve heard it referred to as «fry sauce» by Utahans?) really works.
The texas toast is a great touch and the fries are above average, though I’m pretty sure they’re frozen and doctored with a bit of seasoned salt kind of flavoring.
Overall, the price is right, the location is CLEAN (and apparently habitually so if you see they’ve aced their past dozen+ inspections) and the service is friendly, even if Alan is run ragged a bit during the rush.
I wish they were open past 7pm, and I’ve been hit by an odd day off here and there but we keep coming back because it’s just freakin’ delicious.

I went here yesterday for linner with the BF after trying to go here the day before and finding they were closed an extra day for memorial day… boo! Anyway, we both got the small plate but were each given an extra chicken finger. We waited a long time for our food… too long for chicken fingers in my opinion, especially being that we were the only people in the restaurant. The food was decent, I tried the buffalo and sweet chili sauces… the buffalo was good, but could have been a bit spicier, the chili was not my fave… too goopy and sweet. The chicken was moist, but didn’t have a lot of crunch. The fries were just regular fries (no waffle!). No Texas toast. I just felt like, although the food was alright, it isn’t anything that would make me want to return… I can just go to Chik Fil A and get tastier chicken. Sorry guys!

After reading all the positive reviews on Unilocal,we decided to make a trip to Tempe to try the delicious chicken fingers.
I am happy to report that the chicken fingers are delicious. So are the waffle fries!
There is still a special if you’re a new customer where you will get one extra finger free. Alan recommended we use our extra finger to try a finger drenched in Buffalo Sauce (for no extra charge).
We told him to pick our sauces so we tried all of them except for the bleu cheese and the ranch.
We even got to try Alan’s newest creation, which he will call «G Sauce» or «Solid Gold.» He hasn’t decided on a name yet, but I think it is great on fries and he concurs.
My favorite sauce was the «Famous Special Sauce» and DH preferred the Buffalo.
The only things we saw needed improvement were the tables needed wiping down and BOTH customer restrooms were Out of Order.
The food was great. Alan was super friendly (and, being from Wrigleyville… he gets extra points in my book) and helpful.
One other fun thing about this place is they have small-​sized family games like Connect 4 and Battleship for the customers to play.
All in all, a great small business you should support!

I was searching for a place to eat for lunch and came upon Rock-​n-​Roll Fingers on Unilocal.The restaurant is a small little shop that only sells chicken fingers, but what they lack in variety is aggrandized in taste. The chicken fingers were perfect: not too much breading, not too much salt, very juicy and a large size for each chicken piece. They offer multiple sauces to go with the chicken. Such examples include Thai sweet, buffalo, honey mustard, bbq, and a «special» sauce that I have yet to try. The buffalo sauce and the bbq sauce were both pretty good. The bbq sauce is more on the tangy side rather than sweet. We had the standard cut fries, which were your basic standard cut fries, albeit dusted with some seasoned salt.
Service was warm and friendly. They are currently offering a new customer special where if you bring in a new customer, or if you are a new customer, they will give you an extra chicken piece.
One thing to note is that if you use credit card, they will add on 75 cents to your bill.

How have I not reviewed Rock’n’Roll fingers yet? I come here every other week, and have never been disappointed. I always get the regular plate with the BBQ sauce.
— The chicken fingers: I read elsewhere in these reviews that they aren’t «crispy», and that is absolutely correct! They AREN’T crispy. They’re breaded and fried, but in such a way that the chicken is so moist, so fresh, the breading is simply there for a bit of texture.
— The fries: they could easily be frozen fries, but you know what, they’re delicious and go perfectly with the fingers. They are seasoned as well, which helps a ton!
— The Texas toast: … it’s Texas toast. What more needs to be said? YUM!
— The sauces: While they push their special sauce, and the special sauce IS good, I just love their BBQ sauce. I don’t know if it’s in-​house or not, but their fingers just go so well with the BBQ… and that’s saying a lot since I’m more a chicken+ranch kind of girl!
This place isn’t gourmet. This place isn’t fancy. It’s a bit cheap on the inside, and has small games at the booths for entertainment. It’s a bit pricier than you would expect, but you also get a heaping plate full of food. The folks in there are friendly and recognize familiar faces.
I say disregard the few negative reviews here. If you like chicken fingers and fries, you will leave 110% satisfied. I promise.

I don’t know why I have a tendency to forget this place exists for months at a time. It’s not that I don’t like it or that I don’t eat chicken tenders. It’s really a shame too as this place is locally owned (the owner takes all the orders and is a very friendly guy).
The fingers aren’t your mcdonalds fair. They have less breeding and are more of a homestyle than fast food. They chicken flavor is allowed to stand out more than the breading which I like. Plus they are much meatier and fresher than most (not mistaken they are never frozen). They are more like thirds of a breast than a little slice. I get full on 3 and some fries but the box deal with 4 strips, toast, fries, w sauces and a drink is the way to go to have a few leftovers.
If your looking for good chicken tenders this is the place to be. Good food, local owner and a filling meal.
Oh and fyi there is a charge for using credit cards so try and bring cash if you can.

I have a feeling that this place probably appeals to individuals with more of an East cost experience with chicken fingers (though I could be wrong, but I will explain). As others have noted, it is family owned, not a chain, and the owner is extremely polite and that is god thing. I ordered the regular chicken fingers plate with fries and a piece of Texas Toast and got an extra chicken finger because I was a new customer. For the sauces, and there is a number of selections, I got the blue cheese sauce and the house specialty.
Being more used to Texas style chicken fingers I tend to like a think coating of batter (like chicken fried steak, dredged in an egg wash, and then flour and preferably twice). These seemed like they were just dredged in seasoned flour and then fried. So, fries were okay, Texas toast is like a thick piece of garlic toast and well, it was basically cooked chicken that you could dip into the sauce. Honestly, I think the chicken fingers from Popeye’s are much better.
If you like the style of chicken fingers they offer, then great but not really my thing, though I give kudo’s to the owner for providing great service.
