    Received a coupon for Pollo Campero; one of which was for a free meal without having to purchase anything. So off to Pollo Campero I went because, why not? It was a good time as ever to try this place out. I mean, that was the whole purpose of the free meal offer after all, right? It was about 30 minutes before closing time, but since I was ordering to go, that didn't matter to me. With the free meal, I was supposed to get 2 pieces of Campero fried chicken, 2 pieces of grilled chicken, two sides, and a roll. For the sides, I asked for some rice and fries. They didn't ask me what kind of meats I wanted, but since it was free, I didn't bother to specify what I wanted either. I got home and opened the box. I had been given one fried drumstick, one fried wing, one grilled wing, and one breast. I would have preferred an extra fried breast instead of the drumstick, but again, FREE! The fried chicken pieces weren't impressive. I like my fried chicken to have a bit of a kick to it. Or, if not, then it better be damn tasty. The fried chicken here didn't have any kick to it, and although enjoyable, it wouldn't be something I'd be willing to drive out of my way to get. I enjoyed the grilled chicken a lot more than I did the fried chicken. However, I thought they were way too greasy. As for the sides, I really enjoyed the rice but not so much the fries. The fries were cold and soggy. I understand it was pretty close to closing time, but when I was there, they still had a bunch of chicken but not fries. The roll didn't impress either because the one that I was given was tough and cold. I understand that I came in with a free coupon and not as a paying customer, but I'd imagine that if you really want new customers to start coming back, you'd want to impress me and give me the freshest food instead of what seems to be leftover? I mean, first impression matters, right? Or I guess not?

    Sign on the building. Restaurant opened on 10/13/15.

    When I first saw the construction from grassy field to a building, I was very excited to see the new development in this mixed neighborhood. Wait, another chicken joint opened at this brand-new strip mall near this busy intersection? Pollo Campero joined 5 other chicken restaurants within a mile on Beechnut (KFC, Popeye's, Regio, Church's & Frenchy's). Yeah, birds aren't welcome, but hungry people are. I always welcome new restaurants to the area, especially something unique. The food was pretty good, as other reviewers said. However, there are some missed basics. - Parking is a nightmare. The strip mall was not even half occupied, but the parking lot was already full during lunch & dinner hours. I had no choice but park at the strip mall next door and walk across a flowerbed. - I was surprised to know not a single staff tried every dish. When I asked about the spiciness or their personal favorite, I got a blank stare. I suggested it to Mikey (he denied to be a supervisor nor a manager). I'll have to quiz them again next year. I read every review from other Pollo Campero restaurants. Just about everyone praised on the grilled chicken - Peruvian pollo. Since I was rookie with this new pollo, I decided to try the "Latin Shake" as the advertised special. Talk about the poorly decided packaging; they squeezed chicken and side dish containers into a bag that barely fit. Worse of all, it was top heavy. So I put it on the table, it went like a Slinky and tumbled on the floor. I was mad and embarrassed at the same time. They manager quickly ordered someone to clean it up and replaced my food. I exited the restaurant quickly. After I drove away, "Oh, sh**!" They forgot to give me my drink. Guess what? My replacement was packed the same way. This Pollo Campero just opened. I know they have a lot of room for improvement. I do hope they hurry up, because the crowd is coming soon. The grand opening fiesta is on 11/5/15. If anyone asked me about Guatemalan or Peruvian food, I'll say yes. I have tried both at Pollo Campero.

    Today was my sister birthday, and we went to the restaurant to celebrate, the customer service was good! And they sang "happy birthday" to her. Thank you so so much!

    Update : After I was all done I seen the expiration date on the tortilla strips and it was expired. I ordered this through Uber and this is not even close to an $8 salad. The flavors are all there but it's a pretty sad salad.

    Grilled and Fried!!

    Very impressed with the grilled chicken and the fried chicken! The pollo campero rice was fluffy and light and the grilled chicken was very flavorful and the seasonings were not overbearing at all. I will be visiting again!!!

    Lunch special 4 pieces. 2 sides

Upon entering, we were greeted by the server and quickly seated. The restaurant was clean and had K-pop music playing, which created a chill and fun vibe. We ordered corn cheese, Tteok-bokki, and 16 wings (Spicy Galbi and Soy Garlic flavor). The corn cheese was probably one of the best I've had! It was sweet with perfectly melted cheese on top that complemented the dish well. The wings were delicious as well, made to order and super crispy with a satisfying crunch! I was a bit nervous about the spicy galbi being too hot, but it was manageable. The pickled radish that came with it helped cleanse the palate and added a refreshing touch. Overall, it was a great experience! If you're looking for crispy chicken with fast service, definitely check this place out!

Why are you charging 20% gratuity? There was no actual waiter. There were 2 employees running the front. We literally had to wave them down or walk up to the desk and ask for napkins, refills, etc. Suggestions: Maybe raise the party size to charge automatic 20% gratuity, or lower the gratuity amount

    I finally got the opportunity to try this place after it's been on my list for probably a few years…read morenow. I had always heard about the chicken pho as the dish to try, but the person I went with also recommended some other things. So we actually ended up with three dishes and I got to try a lot of great stuff. Of course I tried the chicken pho, which lived up to the expectation of being the Vietnamese comfort soup. Another dish was like a catfish in a sauce in a clay pot. I quite enjoyed the fish in the sauce, but beware it does have bones! The third dish was a mix of different proteins and mushrooms and rice. You can see a picture of it but I can't remember what it's called. I enjoyed the variety of what was in this dish and the rice had kind of a toasted vibe as it got stuck to the metal bowl by design. Despite all of these being small bowls, it was too much food for just two people. We kind of knew it would be but I wanted to try some new dishes, and I'm glad that I did! My only complaint is that after getting our food we never had a server come by again, so I never got more water.

When I lived there I didn't know…read moreabout Frenchy's and never realized there was this delicious fried chicken just steps away from my doorstep! I came on a Friday night and there was a long line. When I looked upfront, I realized why. There were only two people working there. But they were holding it down!! They were working hard to get everyone's order. I got the two piece dark. It took a little while, but it was worth it! Even though I ordered two, they gave me three - maybe because they were closing soon. The chicken was so hot and crispy and juicy!! And omg the hot-sauce! It was really good on the chicken. Also it comes with a jalapeño which I drizzled over the chicken. I also had greens and a roll to top it off. Delicious! Can't wait to go back :)

    I'm not gonna hold back on this review, this is probably the worst Frenchy's I've ever been to. I…read morebeen inside the restaurant 3-4 times and ordered through DoorDash about 2-3 times. To be honest the service is slow and at times they're rude and don't wanna do their job. One of the only positive things I can say is that even though the service is slow, the food comes out hot & fresh. I would hope so since they're not busy. My to go orders are usually the 3 piece campus with either mash potatoes, red beans and rice, collard greens & dirty rice. Or I'll get their 3 piece catfish. Sometimes I'll get the dessert (peach cobbler & sweet potato pie). While the chicken comes out hot & fresh. There is zero seasoning on the chicken itself. Not even a pinch of salt. They rely on the batter for flavor. Don't get me wrong the batter is salty & delicious for my palate but the chicken is so bland. Collard greens are uninspiring & boring but edible. Mash potatoes taste just fine but their gravy adds a layer of flavor. Red beans and rice once again, flavorless & they always give you one measly piece of sausage. Their dirty rice is a little dry but not bad. Now for the catfish I actually enjoy it. The batter is the same as their chicken & the fish itself is moist and juicy. The desserts feel like it's store bought and not made in house but it's bearable. Overall, this location ain't it. It's located next to a gas station & the area itself isn't safe. The inside of the restaurant isn't clean either. Lazy & rude employees don't make it any better. If you want some good Frenchy's go to the one on 3rd ward. I would frequently go there but that's no where close to my house so I have to settle for this location. I hope they make improvements before they shut down.
