Ranch1, New York

Grilled chicken takes the spotlight on Ranch1's extensive menu. While it can carry the culinary weight by itself, the star protein also welcomes accompaniment in wraps, sandwiches, and salads. Take, for instance, the chicken philly sandwich, which pairs the juicy poultry with melted mozzarella cheese, onions, and sautéed peppers, or the chicken teriyaki wrap, whose broccoli-and-rice-filled bundle is splashed with teriyaki sauce. Burgers and steak fajitas fill the quota of carnivorous offerings, and sides such as baked potatoes and cheese fries hover at the periphery of the menu to frame the meal's centerpieces. The chefs at Ranch1 also wake up early to dole out hearty breakfasts, and the restaurant's slate of smoothies and desserts rewards sweet teeth for avoiding the temptation of replacing their dental neighbors with candy corn.
