Salad with beets, tomatoes, iceberg lettuce and a delicious mayo-based dressing
Gale K.

Very highly recommended by someone who works in the area. Stopped in for lunch at 11:30. At first I didn't think the place was open because I couldn't see anyone inside and the lights were very dim. I ordered the quarter chicken with fries and salad. I also ordered what I thought was a salsa, however, it turned out to be very thinly sliced red onions with parsley and lemon juice. It was a nice accompaniment to the chicken. The salad had 2 slices of beet and 2 slice s of tomato on a bed of iceberg lettuce. The dressing was mayo based with some herbs and was a nice choice. I could have done with less lettuce though. The chicken was tender and fell off the bone. The chicken skin of the leg and thigh was crispy and delicious. The meat directly beneath the skin was dry and hard. The rest of the chicken was tender though. Flavors? Ah - I was expecting more depth of flavor but it was ok. The fries were hot, crispy, and plentiful. The restaurant is situated in a strip mall next to a restaurant beauty supply store and a laundromat. It was a very cold day and many people ordered soup - they offered several. Not a bad experience, but not unlike other Peruvian restaurants I've experienced.

a plate of food with shrimp, potatoes, and lettuce

Hidden 5 star ceviche gem! We enjoyed the authentic Peruvian fresh fish with plenty of octopus and thinly sliced onions and delicious zesty juice :)

Bad customer service / does not acknowledge me even though standing in front of register with menu in hand. I had to walk out.

Went there to get food and stood in front of the yng lady for 15 mins with menu in hand and she didn't even acknowledge me. After waiting awhile I had to ask if someone can help. Not rude .. jst asked the question. Owner heard me and stated , 'chicken is not ready for an hour'. Wow! Won't ever go back! Guess my money is not green.

If you want to eat amazing Peruvian food or just something tasty and relatively healthy, go here! We absolutely love this charming little neighborhood restaurant. The food and service never disappoint. The portions are substantial, especially for the low price. Also, the restaurant is BYOB! Everything is fresh, delicious, and authentic. If you haven't made it here, you're missing out! Recommendations: Churrasco (skirt steak), Mixed Ceviche, Mussels, and Roasted Chicken.

I've also turned my family and friends on to this restaurant as well. I usually do pick-up, but I've had delivery here as well and have eaten inside only once. This place is small but very clean. They recommend BYOB, but the ambience really isn't there for dinner - which is fine! It's a take out shop, what do you expect? The most important thing to remember is everything here is MADE FRESH, YA'LL!!! They make everything to order so you may be waiting a few minutes for your meal. RoP's popularity has really picked up over the past year, so sometimes the wait can get a little long. My favorite things are the wraps (the Supreme Wrap is my OG to go, but the chipotle wrap is a close second), the chicken fingers, and the fried chicken sandwich. I've also had their salads which are fresh and tasty, and a bunch of their sides - the cornbread, the creamed spinach, the mashed potatoes, and the coleslaw are all stars. (The mac n cheese is just ok! ) I've not had the Rotisserie or BBQ here, but my friends who do have said it's amazing. They also do lunch specials which is great! My favorite thing about this place, however, has to be the handmade fries. They are EXCELLENT - some of the best French fries in the area! Also, the staff here is always so pleasant and kind. They always make a note to thank you for your tips, even when placing an order online. Overall, this is a great small business to support!

Ordered: 1 Whole Rotisserie Chicken (~$15) with onions…read more Medium Rice (~$6): half Pigeon Pea Rice & half Moro Rice Maduros (~$5) Jupiña Pineapple Soda (~$2) Aya's take: John's Fried Chicken is a Union City classic and I'm glad I finally stopped by. They're known for their incredible Rotisserie Chicken which I can confirm is in fact incredible. It's flavorful, juicy, deliciously roasted, and tender. The chicken skin was crispy and rich in flavor but literally the dark and white parts were equally tasty. Honestly probably some of the best Rotisserie chicken I've ever had. My favorite piece was the thigh, super juicy and delicious. The onions were sweet, crisp, and refreshing - I've never had this with a rotisserie chicken before but it's a game changer. They also serve it with their hot sauce which was both smoky and zesty. The sides I got are a non-negotiable, in my opinion. Both the Pigeon Pea Rice & Moro Rice were well-seasoned, fluffy, and went great with the Rotisserie chicken. The portion is also amazing for the price; it was easily 4 servings! The Maduros were extremely oily but I love the savory-sweet balance you get from them along with the chicken and rice. Super delicious! The Jupiña Pineapple Soda was a good try but could be skipped next time. Note: their menu has cash and credit card prices so you will be paying slightly more per item if you pay with card. All in all, it was an amazing meal that hit the spot and great value! Highly recommend.

this place is a no frills bang for your buck restaurant…read more My go to dishes are their roasted chicken, beef stew, or pernil. Just go in, line up, point at the items you want, pay and go.

Service was prompt. Food was prepared fresh and promptly: Henny Ribs - incredible sauce. I want to put it on everything. I like my ribs with a little pull, and these had just a bit more than I prefer, but they were still excellent. Moist and flavorful. Dallas Wings - crispy, moist, and flavorful. Not greasy. Batter was well-seasoned, each piece was cooked perfectly with nothing overdone, dry, or tough. Pulled pork sliders - my wife loved them. Flavorful, tender, and piled high. Henny Burger - I wished I had two of them. That says it all. The henny sauce is incredible. Burger was high quality and perfectly cooked. Bacon was delicious and an excellent addition. Not too crispy, not too soft. Perfect texture. The burger was HUGE. This may be my good-to from now on. Henny sauce was a great compliment to the other flavors. Family all raved about their food.

Service was OK, quick and friendly, but the food was not. They have ribs on the menu, and chicken, but I couldn't find brisket, pretty much the epitome of Texas style barbecue, until I found, hidden away in the bottom corner, a brisket sandwich and a BBQ brisket burger. I chose the burger with fries. The burger patty itself was OK, standard chain restaurant bland-ish ground beef, but it was topped off with four or five very small slices of very cold, very fatty and very tough brisket with nary a hint of smoked goodness which is the hallmark of any good barbecue. The sauce was way too sweet, the fries cold and the bun stale. 0/10 would not recommend.

For being in such a busy tourist area, everything ran surprisingly smoothly. The line moved quickly and our food came out fast and fresh. I was especially impressed with how clean it was. The staff stayed on top of everything, constantly clearing tables and wiping things down even though the place was completely packed. The only downside was how hard it was to find seating since it was so busy, but that definitely wasn't a deal breaker. The energy, service, and efficiency made it worth it. 10/10.

The Raising Cane's in downtown Brooklyn is flavorfully and not salty. The food needs to taste similar at all the locations. The drinks and the food need to come out together. Someone needs to be at the door directing people that they can either go to register line or order at the kiosk. The merchandise bookshelves are in the way and too close to the door. People in wheelchairs and people with strollers need to be able to get in the door and maneuver safely. DJ Intern needs to go back to school. The music was a mess and wasn't a positive value add to the overall experience. Please get it together.
