Charcoal Chicken is one of those places where the flavor hits before you even take the first bite. The chicken is smoky, juicy, well-seasoned, and full of that delicious charcoal-grilled flavor that makes you want to keep going back for more. The black beans are yummy and packed with flavor, although for my personal taste, I'd love them drained just a little more because they can be pretty juicy. Now the fajita veggies? Those make my bowl SING. They add the perfect bite and flavor, and the plantains are cooked to absolute perfection--sweet, caramelized, and dangerously easy to keep eating. My only downside is that this meal could definitely be a little healthier. The chowfuh/fried rice can sometimes be pretty heavy on the oil, and the plantains can be oily as well. Delicious? Absolutely. Diet food? Ehhh...we're not going to lie to ourselves. If you love GOOD, flavorful food, definitely check Charcoal Chicken out. If you're on a diet...just eat a few bites off your friend's plate and mind your business. Its a basic grab and go atmosphere, they do have about 12 cafeteria like tables inside. Its clean. read more

Charcoal Chicken - Charcoal chicken, plantains and fried rice. - Peruvian Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

It was open on Thanksgiving! The customer service is okay. The menu is big with lots of options. I ordered the beef stew with white rice and beans. It was good. The container was not good for travel, glad we were eating inside and not taking the food with us. I'd go back, the prices were reasonable and the food was decent. read more

Surprised at how good this place was. So good we went twice in a row. We got the Caribbean wings, gyro, beef stew, steak with onions, potatoes and cheese, tacos and more. Didn't capture all the pictures since we dug into the food so fast, but full of flavor. Service was great and the place was clean, so we'll definitely be back! read more

Big shoutout to the owner for letting us sample their rotisserie chicken it was absolutely delicious and incredibly juicy. I stopped by Charcoal Chicken with some coworkers and ordered the 3 piece whole wings Thai chili combo with fries and a drink. For about $13 it was a great deal and well worth it. The wings were huge crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The Thai chili sauce was perfectly balanced and coated the wings just right, giving every bite great flavor. Everything was fresh, satisfying, and cooked just right. I'll definitely be coming back again! read more

This place opened in 4th of July as I was in the mood for their delicious tacos and burritos. The gal was nice enough to accommodate one burrito with cilantro and the other without. You will wait but it's worth it because they make it quite well. Their dining area looks clean as usual. read more

Recently went back to Charcoal Chicken. I love their food I got the 1/2 chicken and double rice as my sides. I love the yellow sauce .. I had to ask for more because they are super stingy and only give you 2 lol. They are always busy but are quick to get the line moving. I'm always happy with each visit read more

Now this is some good rotisserie chicken!! It is packed with bold flavors. I went within the first week of opening until now and the food has remained consistent. Not only the chicken but all the sides. Sides range from fried rice, plantains, green beans, black beans and more. They also offer Philly cheesecake, burritos, fried chicken wings, burgers and so much more. Something for everyone. When you get to the counter, you order your meal. If you are doing the rotisserie chicken, they are cutting the meat up right then and there while you pick your sides. You can see that too as it's already prepared. For the other items, it's cooked to order. This is a solid place and you really can get a bang for your buck! read more

Excellent, excellent, excelente. The food tested great my wife Chris and I shared a bowl for lunch. So so tasty. Much better than Chipotle! Eat here and you're not going back to Chipotle. read more

A wonderful smell of chicken roasting over a wood fire hits you as soon as you walk in the door. The place smells like and tastes like the dozens of such places in Northern Virginia and the DC suburbs. In general, I came on a Monday afternoon around 2 PM. Not very many people here, but the restaurant was very clean and the service was fast. Oddly all the staff or maybe owners seem to be Indian or maybe Pakistani. I got a quarter chicken dark meat, rice&beans and fried yuca. About $16 with medium fountain drink. Chicken was not super meaty, but it had good flavor. Looked like there were a lot of other menu options I'd like to check out. Considering a #1 meal at Chic fil la can cost nearly $14 this is a nice alternative. read more

Charcoal Chicken - 1/2 chicken with two sides: green beans and rice and black beans. Delicious - Peruvian Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

My favorite part of the meal was the Pisco Sour which I hadn't had in years! Roxy assisted us in our menu selections and did a great job! Food was excellent and huge portions! Ambiance OK - music was Extremely Loud! read more

I used to go here every week when they first opened. I have not been there in a long time. Today I ordered 1/4 chicken with 2 sides and you don't even get the whole 1/4 chicken -they cut the top off. The portions are way smaller than what they used to be. The two guys who were there when first opened were great-now no one speaks or is friendly-they just take orders and hand you a box of food. I guess the dirty napkin was free of charge LOL!!! Time to move on-sigh!! read more

Delicious! I recently tried the Lomo Saltado and it was soooo good! They also have impressive dessert offerings in the little fridge by the register!!! read more

I've been wanting to try the food, the inside and outside was clean. The guy that was taking my order was rude and kinda snappy not a good first impression. Food was overpriced, they didn't give me any silverware and food was, I definitely won't be back! read more

Charcoal Chicken - Rice, vegetables and salmon - Peruvian Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Ordered the 1/2 chicken with green beans and fried rice. The chicken was moist and very tasty, the seasoning was excellent, the skin which I know I shouldn't eat could not be skipped. The fried rice was full of flavor, the green beans had some amazing flavor to them but the only downside and the reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was that there were a little soft instead of having a nice crunch to them. After you order and get your food there is seating in booths along the sides and a long table in the center with some bar seating at the front window. Al in all a great place for lunch with some really good food. read more

For something out of the ordinary give them a try. Chicken is good and juicy, could use a little more seasoning but overall pretty good. Lots of options for sides . My favorite is the fried plantains and beans are pretty good also. read more

The chicken is so delicious and good price But too bad the service is not that good somehow they always grumpy and shows that they don't want to be there and not happy read more

Called to order chicken soup. The person who answered said "yeah" and then immediately hung up on me. No explanation, no professionalism, nothing. Extremely rude experience and not how you treat a potential customer. I won't be calling back. Will be driving the extra 15 minutes to go to pollo ala brasa. read more

I have nothing but positive comments for this place! This particular location compared to some of the others actually delivers in terms of food quality! The chicken is moist and juicy and I actually do prefer the crispy charred chicken skin. The white rice has a certain flavor and the yuca is delicious. I always ask for extra yellow and green sauce. Add the Inka Golden Kola as nice beverage to go along with your meal and you are set! On to the next, I usually go to America's Best Wings but seriously the wings here are a hit! And lastly, the Philly cheesesteak is just so damn good! read more

Charcoal chicken is truly delicious! My daughter introduced us to this restaurant and we love it. We had the whole chicken and it was flavored perfectly, and I love the rice with the sauce and the cheesy potatoes. Everything tasted amazing. I would definitely order again from this place. The customer service was amazing! read more

Food is pricy $$$ for what we ordered (we split it) with VA food tax $12.25 that's without drinks or add ons. Their chicken wings average $2 each. The guys behind the counter was pleasant but didn't offer any suggestions or upsell. The inside has the walls decorated , the seating is okay. read more

Food is just ok, most of the staff are not very friendly. The store in my opinion is boarder line dirty. Food left on tables and dirty floors not very appealing. read more

We were charged 45$ for 6 wings, 3 tacos and sweet plantains, no drinks. After we paid I saw that they had a special for 6 wings but I was charged full price. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. They are overpriced and overhyped. read more

Love the salmon and veggies yucca and beans and rice really it's all so yummy I can never choose!!!

Charcoal chicken is pretty new and the food is delicious. I only wish we had one in chesapeake. Highly recommend.

Charcoal Chicken opened up across the street from me not long ago & the anticipation was met with good standings. After a few visits and different orders, i've come to conclusion that I am in love with the Grilled Chicken & Shrimp sub! However, prices seem a bit steep, it's pretty worth it. Combo with fries and drink is about $19 after taxes (they offer 10% off for use of cash in person). The service could be better, the process of ordering prioritized those ordering from the immediate food bar that is operated by the workers. Someone ordering what I like to order would be quickly dismissed by the line servers and sent to the cashier, who is also prioritizing the shut down plates being given to them by the line servers & you possibly will be cut in line. Overall, id give the entire experience about an 8/10. Food is delicious, service is MID, restaurant ambiance is great tho, I enjoy eating inside. Id try this place out but don't take the bad service personally like I did ps: I never get a picture of the food because its SO good read more

Just had dinner here the atmosphere was nice and clean and the food not so good. I The chicken was OK. Would I go again no.

Great food, loved the burrito and seasonings. A little pricey but a great alternative for healthy food compared to everywhere else!

The food is awesome. I'm a diabetic and I prefer not to eat fast food. This food is made fresh to go. The service was quick and fast.

This was my 1st time ordering from charcoal chicken. I ordered 1⁄2Chicken white meat with a side of green beans and a side of mixed vegetables. The service was fast, and the staff was wonderful! They give you very generous portions and the prices are perfect. For individuals who are on low sodium diets, I would highly recommend this restaurant! I loved how the spices were perfectly balanced with the succulent juiciness of the meat. It was not greasy at all. I love the charcoal flavor and it was not overpowering it was perfect. The food is very healthy and very tasty. My mouth is watering so I am going back for more! The menu options are on point! What a pleasant surprise since this location just opened 2 months ago. Please check it out!!! read more
