    Rude lady working at this location. LAUREL MD at POLLO CAMPERO

    Food is good other than that employees are disrespectful. A work by the name of STEPHANIE. Really rude and disrespectful I ask for a bag and cup she just throws them and doesn't hand them properly. Manager should know who to hire and who put on them schedule. I see that manager doesn't take enough research on there workers.

    The Chicken is the best in Laurel Md. I love the service. Hand down the best fried chicken you can get in a restaurant.

    7.18.22 My lunch was great, not so much for my husband. He ordered mixed 4 piece and what he got instead was all dark meat. He only likes white meat. It worked out in my favor though. Lol. The pieces were small especially the drumsticks. Nice that we got an extra drummie. Guess they can't count unless they threw an extra in b/c they were small. My husband was annoyed as he said his order was simple and straightforward yet they managed to mess it up. The only thing that compensated for the mess up is that he liked the beans.

    Friendly service and food came out quickly for how fresh it all was at the Fredrick location. Fried chicken, plantains, fries, and original fried chicken sandwich were all delicious. Bun on the sandwich was cold, but the chicken was crispy, the sauce was well seasoned, and the pickles were sweet but paired well with the chicken's flavor. Horchata and mango juice drinks were both pretty good. Location was very colorful and clean with indoor seating, outdoor seating, as well as a drive thru.

    Pollo Campero is my favorite fast food place when visiting El Salvador. Every Pollo Campero there is always clean and service is top notch . I decided to visit the Pollo Campero in Laurel MD. I got to say service was great and the place was clean. The menu has items like tortillas and mashed potatoes that aren't offered back in Central America. Those to items were my least favorites in the menu. The Coleslow is different then the original recipe and the main reason I'm deducting 1 star. Overall It is a good place to eat Pollo.

    This location is tricky to get to because it's on a major one-way road, so exercise some caution (drive slowly, watch out for the curb, and turn with a mindful eye to crossing pedestrians). Immediately after I saw the Pollo Campero sign, I slowed down (it's easy to miss and pass it) and pulled in to the parking lot, which has about eight or ten angled spots to the right, including several designated as spots for those with handicap stickers/placards. There was a slippery puddle of water right before you open the doors; it had been raining direly earlier. At about 8:22 pm, with a closing time of 9:00 pm, there were about 8-10 orders ahead of me in line (some were two-person parties, some were adults with children, and others were by themselves). It looked like most people in line were taking their food to go, despite there being several spots inside for dining. Only about three tables out of what I'd estimate are about 50 seats were occupied. There was only one employee staffed at the cash register, and no additional registers were opened up to alleviate the line. Still, the line moved smoothly. I ordered food to go: the camperitos (boneless chicken tenders) meal with tortilla (they were out of the dinner roll) and yucca. I had a coupon that covered the cost of the meal because of a very error-filled order I had placed recently. The cashier asked me to donate to St. Jude---"Any amount helps!" she said with gusto---so I donated an undisclosed amount. The cashier did not ask me about the app, which allows me to earn points and redeem rewards. I was handed a paper to acknowledge my donation on a wall that had several dozen other donors already. Great for them to partner with St. Jude! My food order was ready within eight minutes, packaged neatly, correct with all necessary sauces and utensils, and handed to me by a friendly, neatly dressed employee who looked happy at her job. I thanked her, and she wished me a good evening. I would return. This is the closest location to my house.

    Wow, nice concept in a really hard area of Laurel to navigate. I truest love this place. The chicken is always perfect and the sizes are flavorful. It is fast food that takes it to another level. Stop in and give them a try.

    I don't know what was in the bun it looked like little pcs of chalk. I was afraid to eat it so I threw it away smh!

    Fast Food setting, If you are eating-in they will bring your food to your table, but you do have to 1st order at the register. The food is served in normal non disposable plates and the same for the silverware. Most of the staff are hispanic and speak spanish. Visited during lunch on a Wednesday, there was a long line to order but it was moving quickly, They were out of charcoal grilled chicken, so they only had fried. We were told it would at least be 20 minutes before the charcoal chicken was ready. We did not wait, but the fried chicken was real good! The sides were real good, the cole slaw and Corn salad! For drinks you have the option of fountain sodas free refill, sweet tea, unsweetened tea, Horchata, or agua de melon.

    I am always looking for good fried chicken. Today we were in the mood for tenders. After looking…read moreonline I saw Krispy Krunchy Chicken. 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.

The dining area was clean, spacious, and consistent with the atmosphere you'd expect from most Nando's locations. The only downside was the restroom, where some were out of toilet paper.

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

Now the mac and cheese was average and so was the cornbread.

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.

    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.

Before I left for Texas, I would always crave the chicharones and yucca here. My kids and I would plan our errands around the area, so that we could have a good treat from the truck. Now that I'm back, it did not disappoint my fond memories! I was literally ordering chicharones and yucca at 9:00 am in the morning on a cold wet rainy winter morning! It was easy to order, hooray for pictures, if you want to pick something else. My goddaughters love the pupusas here too! They were here a few days ago and brought us some home, hot and fresh! That's what sent me down memory lane! Foodie cravings of crunchy savory porky perfection and the yucca fries that are always golden and crunchy on the outside and pillowy inside. The salad is on point and elevates the dish to be a little lighter and adds the crispy vinegary element that helps reset the pallet. And of course, I had to order decadent sweet plantains... my guilty pleasure. Did I mention this was at 9:00 am! There's literally school buses still out! But if I didn't eat it all, because of how generous the portions are, I can air fry all these Foodie treasures back to their best texture and temperature. Needless to say, this made all the cold wet cold weather just another day in paradise! Hope you all have a blessed day!!! Give a good tip, since it's safer than hugs and kisses.... because that's what this food feels like !!! Share the LOVE!!
