the home of grilled chicken
Paul J.

Peri Peri Original opened a new spot in Laurel so I had to try it. Although they've entered the raging chicken sandwich wars, I was craving their shrimp tacos and also got a shrimp rice bowl. The shrimp were grilled with just the right amount of char and topped a full soft shell taco with lettuce and some flavorful sauce. The shrimp rice bowl had the same shrimp on top of a bed of yellow long-grain rice with plenty of spices. Lots of flavor and we got some extra sauces on the side. My favorite was the lime mango. Glad to see new places popping up in Laurel! If you're nearby and craving some new flavors, give this place a try. The folks are very friendly and the food will fill you up!

Chicken sandwich with garlic butter with mango lime sauce

I go here every single time I get a chance! I love chicken sandwiches and they have one of my favorites in Maryland. I would give them a 10/10 but their fries are a little salty for me( combo meal rating 9.5/10). If we are just rating the sandwich by itself then it's a 10/10

Visited for lunch today and had a great experience. The cashier Nikhat was polite and attentive. I had the garlic chicken sandwich (medium/hot) and fries and like other reviews the fries were plentiful, hot and very good. I don't know what it was - I couldn't stop eating them. The sandwich was great. I'm happy I went with hot and not mild. I'm still feeling the heat. The restaurant was very clean and you can tell they take pride in their establishment.

I got the chance to try Peri Peri with one of my closest friends and I must say I was impressed. I've been seeing this restaurant pop up all around the DMV. The Honey Garlic and Nashville Fried Chicken sandwiches were amazing. Their desserts were pretty good but small portion for the price. The hospitality at this location was awesome. Definitely plan to go back soon.

Crispy Chicken Sandwich (Hot)

I finally made it here after hearing people talking about it. I went on a Monday around lunch time, so it was empty, other than a Grubhub driver. I ordered the hot fried chicken sandwich. It comes with pickle and cole slaw on it, but I got mine without pickles. I waited about 10 minutes for the sandwich to come out. It was very good. It was hot, but not overly hot to where it's not enjoyable. It also came with two sauces on the side. One was a hot sauce, and the other was some kind of white sauce. Both were tasty. I used them as dips rather than pouring them on the sandwich. The bun was fantastic. I think it was brioche? My only complaint is that one some parts of the chicken, there was a bit too much breading. Other than that, it was delicious. I'm going back to try the honey butter one. Ive heard good things about it.

TERRRRRRRRIBLE. This lemon sauce grilled chicken is horrible.

Terrible eeew. This chicken lemon is horrible. The sauce is too tangy ans the chicken has absolutely no flavor.

This is a new halal restaurant that opened up recently- when I spoke the the young lady at the register she said they were open for about 3 weeks at the time of this review. I placed my order over the phone for a Buffalo, honey garlic and spicy chicken sandwich. I had asked for no coleslaw on the spicy chicken sandwich and what additional sauces were used on the sandwich and she said hot sauce, which was fine. The order was ready by the time I arrived and I had no issues picking it up. Parking at the shopping center was a little congested due to the other busy shops. However, when I got home I noticed that crispy chicken sandwich had a mayonnaise based hot sauce not your stereotypical franks red or the type. Unfortunately the person who was eating the sandwich is allergic to eggs so I had to call them for a replacement sandwich. The young lady was kind and apologized for ether miscommunication and readily offered to replace our sandwich at no additional cost. The chicken sandwich itself is a gigantic portion, it can almost be eaten in two settings. The patty was well seasoned however I will say that it was a bit over cooked and it was noticeable in the taste of the breading. The peri fries also had very little peri seasoning. Overall, I would definitely return and try their other menu items such as wraps or whole chicken. The customer service was excellent and I was extremely satisfied with the way they handled the situation. I would just be mindful that they use mayonnaise as a base for their sauces.

Got the garlic chicken sandwich. Perfect balance of heat, crispness and sauce. This was recommended by the workers. Staff was obviously very friendly. Best chicken sandwich in laurel, easily. The fries were great too. Reasonably priced and most importantly, I didn't leave hungry. Can't wait to go back and try the other flavors.

Crispy Chicken Sandwich (Mild)
Mary Tope A.

I heard about this place on tik tok so me and my cousins went to check it out. When we went the location was still fairly new. The atmosphere was amazing. We went around 7:00 and it started to get a little busy around 7:45. We got the Honey Butter Chicken Sandwich, the Crispy Fried Chicken Sandwich (Mild), Peri Peri Fries, some Oreo milkshakes, and some fountain drinks. I was expecting a little kick in the fried chicken sandwich but it wasn't even spicy at all. If spice is not a serious issue for you then I would just go ahead and order the hot. The sandwich was a nice and crispy. The breading didn't overpower the chicken itself. The Peri Peri Fries did not have as much seasoning as I would expect. The milkshakes were delicious. You can order the food by itself or add a side and make it a combo. The combo didn't come with a drink. I did however added a drink which brought my total to approximately $15. That just seams a little on the expensive side for a sandwich, fries and drink. The server was nice and checked on us to see how we were doing. Although it was a little costly, I would go back! Also this location (I'm not sure about the other locations) cooks using halal meat!

I was def skeptical with it being in a shell gas station but saw a few reviews that said it was really good and I saw they had honey biscuits so I said why not. I got the 4 piece jumbo tender box for my lady and I. I first took a bite of the warm fresh honey biscuit and was like, "DAYUM!" That biscuit was soooo good at first bite. It did get a little too sweet the more I ate but it was one of the best biscuits I have had in a very long time! My girl thought it was too sweet for her but she doesn't really like honey. The fries were average nothing out of the ordinary. Wedge fries with a little seasoning built in. Solid 6 or 7 when it comes to fries. Now for the tenders Let me tell you that they are not lying when they say jumbo. We could have split the four piece because I was getting full after one tender! I did eat two and was stuffed. Hey, I have two more for dinner. lol I got the bbq sauce which was tasty. It was more like a hickory bbq with a slight kick. My girl got the krispy sauce which is like a Kane's style sauce. She liked it a lot. All in all I'd give this place a solid 8.5 out of 10. Being in Laurel I would def go back considering it was less than 2 miles from me. Def want that biscuit again and I'm going to try the fried chicken next time.

All have been 3-4 stars (even the ones I hadn't reviewed). A friend claimed she got food poisoning from the Wheaton Mall location, which surprised me as the food quality is high, but maybe that location fell short. I prefer some other locations over Wheaton Mall one. As for the Laurel location, this one is my favorite, and I've been somewhat often. I've never had any significant issue with them. The food quality is great. I'll get a 1/4 or 1/2 chicken with 2 sides like redskin mashed potatoes, Brussel sprouts, corn, fries, bread, etc. Staff is relatively nice here. I talked to the manager a couple of times about a couple of minor things, and manager is good here. One time in July 2025, I went for Mandela Day, and it was a madhouse as it was a free 1/4 chicken with fries. I was patient as I waited a while as they had dozens of people wanting the free chicken that Friday evening. My girlfriend was sadly ill that weekend; so I bon appetited on my own. Nando's reward program got worse; so I'm less motivated to schlep to Laurel just to get Nando's. However, if I was going to go with Nando's, I'd go with this one as Arundel Mills let me down last time. Service & food is always top notch at the Laurel location.

Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I would definitely stop by again.

Small spot great service and that crack chicken and fries was amazing whatever that crap dust is…read morethey sprinkle I love it I'll be back. Now the mac and cheese was average and so was the cornbread. But that was not the reason for my visit so I definitely give them 5 out of 5 stars for that fresh hot juicy seasoned crack chicken and those fries. I'm pretty sure the cakes they had are probably delicious and possibly that homemade looking drink they had back there but I didn't try that yet. But I am from North Carolina visiting, when I come to town I will be back. Thank you guys for taking care of me today. It is take out there is no sit-down, and there is plenty of free parking, it's located in a small shopping Center

This has been the third time I visited this Hip Hop Fish and Chicken location in the last 90 days…read more You know what you want a fresh piece of crispy fried fish!? That is what brought me here. My first visit was great! The fish was crispy and hot. I even ate some of the fries. The second time I patronized this location it was through food delivery and when the food arrived the fish was warm however the coating was falling off. And this wasn't from the transit to me it was how it was prepared. However on this occasion, they gave me the wrong type of fish and when I called back to inform them, they could barely understand what I was conveying and I was met with an attitude over the phone. I ended up just asking him to prepare me the two piece fish dinner and placed the order anyway. When we went in to switch the food out, I handed the shorter latino guy who's always there, my original box which had two and a half pieces of fish, since I ate a half piece of one of the fillets before realizing it wasn't what I had ordered. I was confused at first because I thought maybe it was what I ordered until I continued to eat it and then inspected it and realized it wasn't. He quickly took out the two pieces of fish from the new box which sat upon the bagging area and gave that to me . . . just empty by itself instead of replacing the fries or any of my other sides that came along with my dinner like he was doing me a favor. I'm just realizing this now and it upsets me even more: he shouldn't have been handling my food at all PERIOD! He works in the front and puts in the sauces as well as takes calls and orders from people who walk into the restaurant. I am so tired of being treated like crap when patronizing businesses that I don't have to do business with in the first place. SMH Okay, whatever. I feel like this is such a petty thing for restaurants to do. If I have to drive all the way back to get my correct order, you can at least throw some free fries in there as well. I didn't even receive a we're sorry, it was our fault for the mix-up or anything. Horrible business practices. Not to mention the nasty attitude I was given over the phone and the two small pieces of fish I was given when I came back to pick up my order. How crazy unbelievable. It's not like it's the best or healthiest food in the world and typically when you order this food it's your cheat day. It's okay. I can definitely take my cheating self somewhere else. I definitely will not be back.

An opportunity came about last night, so I headed on over there. Parking right in front of the place is limited, but I just used the parking lot right across the street. When I went in, I could see that they had plenty of stickers on the floor for social distancing, though it wasn't crowded. I had called my order in about a half hour before, and when I told them what I ordered, they immediately prepared my platter. I'm glad it wasn't just sitting on the counter getting cold, because it would've been ice! I was also pleased to see that they set aside the three fried dumplings I had ordered so they wouldn't get claimed. I got the Teriyaki Jerk Chicken platter, which isn't on the menu (BBQ Jerk Chicken is on there though). I was intrigued, so I gave it a shot. I wasn't expecting it to be as spicy as it was, but that's a good thing! I expected the sweetness to take over, but it was a great balance in my opinion! The texture of the chicken was on point too. I have no complaints about the rice & peas, steamed cabbage and corn bread (the tiny tiny piece it was, lol). The plantain could've been fried just a little longer, but it still tasted great. I wanted festival, but the fried dumplings got the job done! From what I can tell, this place is improving as time progresses, and I'm looking forward to trying other things! Don't let the current rating fool you! Hope you all get to enjoy it like I did!

Tender juicy chicken, gently-flavored up to hot-hot-hot!…read more I like their medium spicy chicken sandwich. I find that the Hangry Joe's Hot Chicken Jr. sando is a nice size mid-day meal, with chicken that is almost 50% larger than the bun! The chicken is juicy and tender, with a with a thin flavorful coating that holds all the heat. The way they spice it, the heat builds up, so shoot a little bit below your first taste and it'll build up to a nice warmth. There is a nice layer of slaw that cools the spice a little bit. And a pickle. I'm ok with the pickle slice, but for me, it's a distraction on a simply-dressed sandwich like this. I found this place tucked at the far end of a small easy-to-miss strip mall in Columbia MD. It wasn't busy, which is good because there isn't much parking in front, but you could also park on the other side. It's worth a short walk :-) Pro tip: Order ahead on their app, because they fry it fresh for you and it takes about five minutes. I do have a complaint about their app! On the way to the store, I tried for about five minutes to log into their app. Nothing worked. Not a reboot, not a change-password request. Nothing. The app knew that I have an account, but it just wouldn't let me in. I like their chicken, a lot, so I just drove here and waited the five minutes! First world, problems, I suppose. I love that their chicken is made fresh for me. I want to be able to order in advance. Sorry, but you lose a star for that, on this visit.

Great first experience at Hangry Joe's…read more The chicken was fresh and crispy, the slaw had a sweet, cooling effect, the Mac n cheese was what you'd expect for fast food: creamy but bland, even with the strip of seasoning on it. The fries with cheese seasoning were way better than I expected. Crisp, fresh, not too oily and the seasoning had a complementary sweet flavor that pairs really well with the sandwich. Everything had a hint of sweet, which seems odd to me but I think it's common in Korean dishes? At any rate, it was good. The Thai tea was ok. It had a hint of that Thai tea flavor but its stronger and better at other places.
