I discovered Lee's about a decade ago when a coworker took me there for lunch, and the spicy…read morechicken had me in a chokehold from day one. The heat was perfect, the coating crispy, and the wedges were always on point. I couldn't come to Richmond without grabbing spicy wings. So when the owner decided to stop making the spicy wings and convert the fry station to breast strip fryers, that was it for me. That spicy recipe was the reason I came. Without it, this just isn't the same place. I won't be back unless the spicy chicken makes a return.

I asked for an ETA on my order and the women stand there rolling their eyes. They look at you like you're dumb. Very in organized, the manager doesn't seem to know what's happening or why I'm asking for an ETA . I told them I only a few minutes on my lunch break and couldn't wait long. The manager on duty had the nerve to call me weird for leaving upset. All this for 14 dollars. I will definitely not be returning. They CAN NOT COOK and the service is awful.... Unprofessional staff !!!!

Pollo Campero is a solid spot if you're craving flavorful chicken. The chicken itself is always…read morecooked well, tender, and juicy, with a great seasoning that keeps you coming back for more. The empanadas are a must-try... they're crispy on the outside with a savory filling. The mac and cheese and fries are my favorite sides, as they add comfort to the meal and taste best out of the sides IMO. What stands out is the freshness of the food. It's always hot. The atmosphere is casual, with a typical diner setup, but it works well for a quick casual meal. Another nice touch is that they serve food on real plates when you dine in, which gives it a bit of a homier feel. Plus, the prices are reasonable for the quality you get. Service was good. The staff speaks primarily Spanish. They brought food out relatively fast. Definitely a place to consider if you're looking for a good quick meal!

I had this the Hot Ones bundle two weeks prior to this visit at a RVA location and was pleased. This time I had my son and we were about to get into it and to my extreme disappointment, I was told that they no longer were serving the Last Dab Apollo because it was too hot! Duh... that's why it was awesome that they offered it. I was impressed they brought the heat, but here we go. The some snowflake probably complained it was too spicy and needed some milk. The pack had an "11/10" heat rating. It was awesome! Still someone ruined it for everyone. Smh Now I'm done with Popeyes. So disappointed. Oops... I forgot the ambiance... They left the cheese off of my son's sandwich as I waited at the counter for several minutes at one time 4 employees had there backs to the counter and never acknowledged or inquired why I was standing there with a sandwich in my hand... still disappointed with the spineless sauce situation I gave up. While waiting one DoorDash was blaring music from his phone the entire time he was waiting for the order... now I'm done.

I'd call to ask for a remake but they likely would forget about that too and mess it up again. We will not be going again. 0 stars.

This tasted like Sunday dinner at grandma's house, no exaggeration. The turkey wings were falling off the bone, deeply seasoned, and cooked with real care. The mac and cheese was rich and comforting, and the cabbage had that slow-cooked flavor that lets you know it wasn't rushed. This isn't just good -- it's soulful. Richmond, don't sleep on this spot.

It's very clean inside and smells like grandma's kitchen on a Sunday afternoon. The lady taking our order was very pleasant and spoke to everyone with a smile.

The fam is HUGE fans of Chicken Fiesta so we were excited to try this place thinking it would be more authentic. The fries were soooooo good one got a chicken quesadilla, it was fine, not outstanding, one got chicken burrito that is generously filled with rice, beans and i think cheese, one hot chicken and one got beef chimichangas, also super stuffed. All the food was fresh and tasty and i really wanted to get obsessed.

Personally it's a hit or miss as the tenders sometimes have a rubbery texture that I'm not really a fan of , but their soy garlic sauce with the chicken is honestly heaven.

If i'm ever in the mood for that sauce again, I would reconsider visiting a third time.

Ended up ordering the Chicken and Waffles with a side of their honey mustard. The chicken was fresh, crispy and very juicy. The waffles were delicious, had a nice crisp exterior with a soft inside. My partner had the chicken sando box with curry hot sauce. The Chicken Sandwich was humongous! His chicken patty barely fit between the two buns. We joked how we could've shared since it was practically two sandwiches in one. The portions were really large for one person. The cashier was also very nice and we got to try a mochi donut along with our meals. Which had that fun chewy texture associated with mochi. I also ordered a fresh strawberry tea to enjoy with my meal which was delicious, perfect amount of sweetness and had a realistic strawberry flavor. This place has a decent sized seating area and is pretty easy to access via street parking. It's a great spot to fulfill your craving for chicken and to satisfy a sweet tooth.

New Year's Eve I was sold old chicken on my Big Skillet sandwich (also over done onion rings but they were palatable but the chicken was leather). Called to advise of the issue and whoever answered was very short and nonchalant about coming back to get another sandwich (keep in mind I live across town from their location). Needless to say I will give them a very long break before returning.

The sandwich is so small now and it is $8.50 for a slider that's what it looks like to me. $2.25 for a chicken leg which came too you know how to count and you get a can of Pepsi. Taste totally different and my friend girl she didn't even eat all of her food and she ordered a two-piece and two sides big beans and macaroni salad, the sides was so small they don't put them in a cup when you eat in and they weren't baked beans they were a can of pork and beans. Jack roll people don't go there it ain't worth your money we only have a few left and they ruining it they are ruining it, no they have on it the bread does not make the sandwich anymore it was the bread for me and the chicken has no flavor inside like it used to have.

Upon entering, you will see 2 kiosk to order your food with plenty of pictures, so we did just that. I think you can also order at the counter, a few steps ahead. There were many options to choose from like salads, wraps, and bowls. We chose the Lemon Crush Bowl and Chicken Tinga Bowl. Both were equally delicious and satisfying. First, you choose your base. It comes with warm grains, but if you want extra grains or cauliflower rice, there is an up charge. Then, you get to play with the ingredients it comes with by adding or taking away some. The same with the dressing.They have so many to pick from and because I was curious, I ordered the ENZO Eureka Lemon Crush Olive Oil on the side. It is a strong lemon and olive oil taste, but good in moderation. The Greek goddess dressing was just fine, but I had try another one and no complaints. Also, you have the option of getting half a slice of bread with your bowl. Great way to push some of the last of it onto your fork. Overall, this was a healthy choice. It is on average $10-$13 per dish, but you know you're eating right. The "Taco Bell next door" temptation fizzled fast and I left feeling so grown up. Go check them out.
