The chicken here is freaking delicious. I don't know what they put in their batter but it's extra crispy and unlike any other fast food chicken batter I've tasted. As for their sides, I've only tried the campero rice and fries. The rice and fries are mediocre, nothing of a wow factor. However, you definitely have to try the chicken here if anything. I'm giving this place a 5 star for the chicken alone. read more

Pollo Campero Norcross - Fast Food Near Me - Norcross, Georgia

I love this place when I'm craving fried chicken, but don't want the usual Church's or Popeye's. Their fried chicken is a different flavor that I LOVE. I usually get the 8pc fried with campero rice and tortillas, this runs me about $18 which is so worth it. The chicken is crispy and crunchy and perfect when paired with Cholula hot sauce- which they offer at $2 a bottle. So convenient. I've also tried their grilled chicken which is marinated with a bunch of spices and dressed with lime. Their grilled chicken is soo flavorful and moist, even the breast! I love this place and will recommend it to any chicken lovers. Expand your palette. This is definitely overlooked but deserving of more attention! read more

The chicken is okay. It reminds me of Popeyes chicken. I tried their legs, thighs, breasts, wings and the camperitos. They make about four different kinds of sauce, but it was difficult for us to get them to let us try all of them. There is a pink sauce, an orange sauce. a yellow sauce and a green sauce. They might tell you the green sauce is only used in the kitchen for a specific menu item. After much dialog, we were able to procure all four sauces to use as dipping sauces for our camperitos. The sauces are discussed openly on their official website, so we assumed they would be easily accessible. One sauce is too thick, it is mayo based- I think it is chipotle mayo. But the yellow sauce, the orange sauce (the one they will try to push on you as the default sauce) and the green sauce are all very nice with camperitos. I had the flan dessert. It was okay. I recommend the yucca fries. My grandma is from Costa Rica and I have Panamanian family, so I grew up eating yucca and cassava, but those roots are not commonly eaten in the States. So, their yucca fries were very comforting for me. Very tasty. Try it. So yeah, I think the best things here are the yucca fries and the camperitos with as many sauces as you can muscle out of them. You'll have to pay extra for extra sauces, (like 50 cents a ramekin), but it's worth it. read more

Chicken empanadas are soooo good !!!!! Must try !!! I ordered the camperito meal which are like chicken nuggets but wayyyyy more flavorful! Order plantains as my side , sweet and good. The chicken was hot and fresh . I'm addicted to the empanadas ! Love this place. Only downfall , drive thru line was long. You can only order pick up, to go, or drive thru . Waited about 20 minutes in the line. read more

If you want good chicken grilled or fried, this is where you eat! I couldn't believe this fast food Latin themed restaurant would produce such quality chicken. I do not go to any other chicken places if I even remotely close to this place. They are the under dog champ of the chicken war read more

mal servicio la cajera no quería darme lo que yo quería pedir.! Quería que yo pagara de más .! Y yo quería el combo

I gave Pollo Campero 5 stars because this is how a fast food chain can be as good as it gets. This is a fast food chain, with fast food prices but with a restaurant feel. A typical meal with a drink included is around $6.00. Food is served to your table in white plates and you use actual silverware. No need to leave a tip since it is a fast food restaurant. I tried the grilled chicken, yuca frita, and the campero beans and I was VERY happy. My kids ordered the kids meal (1 fried drumstick with fries) and had "flan" for dessert which was pretty good. I am planning to visit them soon. The chicken is soooo good. read more

See all

I don't understand what all the hype about this place is, but I was NOT impressed. we had no idea what to even order (this was before I started using yelp btw), so what better way to order than the special combo meal? it was a special that was running at the time and it came with like 3 pieces of chicken + 2 sides; no drink. they let us mix up the chicken with some fried and some grilled since it was our first time. service was decent and food was cheap. now, I've heard great things about how the chicken here is seasoned very well. I was excited to get home and chow down, but the only taste I got from the chicken was lemon/lime. what a disappointment. there was a lack of latin spices & seasoning. if I wanted lemon/lime chicken, then I would of just went to kfc that was next door and squeeze some lemon/lime from home on it. the side we got was french fries. that was dumb of us, but we really didn't kno what to get at the time. wish we could have tried their yucca fries though. not sure if i'll be back to try 'em out again..but if I do, I'll be sure to order more "authentic" meals..or sides. read more

Staff was super friendly, especially the manager on duty. He seemed to really enjoy interacting with his customers. A couple came in who looked nervous and unsure of what to order. After standing in line for a minute or two, they were about to head back out without food. He caught them before leaving and coaxed them back inside, offering samples and an explanation of the menu. The food was good. Not the most amazing fried chicken I've ever had, but definitely a great fast food meal. I would take Pollo Campero over McDonald's or any of the other burger joints any day. The fried chicken definitely has a different flair than the usual southern style, and the batter used to coat the chicken tasted slightly sweet to me. I had a combo (two chicken legs and a thigh) with yucca fries and a Jamaica drink (hibiscus tea). My husband also had a chicken combo, with a side of beans instead of yucca. The beans were great. I liked the yucca fries, but next time I'm getting the beans. They offered a variety of salsas and fixins for your meal (jalapenos, etc). I especially liked the spicy green tomatillo salsa. I'm a sucker for green salsa in general, though! Pollo Campero serves good fast food, but the super friendly staff is what truly makes them shine. read more

Flavor is good but I just cant give more than 2 stars given my credit card number was stolen TWICE there! Theres something wrong with the management there. If you want dat chicken just bring cash yall! read more

Friendly service-they even asked if I had been there before and, since I hadn't, offered samples. The chicken is very delish, but the sides are bland and the servings are super-small. If I want super-small servings I'll at least go to Popeye's where they at least have some flavor. The prices are high and you're mostly paying for the huge, sweet, fruity drink that comes with combos. The chicken is the best there is in fast food, but without much else to recommend it, I haven't been tempted to go back. read more

Stay away from the Mexican fried chicken joint... chicken fried in weird oil and colored red/orange. Cost more than KFC and dipping sauce cost you $0.52 cents. Give me a break... crappy quality and charging for sauce/spoons/forks... learn to do business before opening to the public. read more

Delicious, well seasoned chicken and sides. We ordered a mixed fried chicken meal with sides - campero beans , plantains , and tortillas. The beans surprised us by how good it was, and the plantains were sweet. We had a mixup about the tortillas and ended up not getting any. But if you don't mix up the order you should have a great meal! read more

I drive past this place EVERYDAY on my way home from work. So yesterday I was sooo hungry and wanted some chicken so i decided stop on in. The main issue i have with this place was the wait!!!! :( I waited 20 mins in drive thru for some Luke Warm chicken! The cashier was not friendly and the food was okay! Don't think I will be going back! read more

Wow! Just wow! The food is good, empanadas are deliciously interesting and made with chicken! Fried chicken is amazing! The owner is a phenomenal human being and the people that work there are equally wonderful!!!!! Recommend this place so much! And they have ice cream and flan!!!!! read more

Wow. We'd heard of Pollo Campero but this was our first time and were blown away by the very friendly service and awesome good. Suzy was the perfect server who so generously offered a cross section of samples. Both fried and grilled chicken were so good I can't decide which is my favorite. Seasoned perfectly! And the sides were deliciously unique. Seriously I rarely rave about quick service concepts but now I understand why this concept is so popular. It's now on our regular go to list. Highly Recommend you give it a try. Save room for the flan! read more

Pollo Campero Norcross - Fast Food Near Me - Norcross, Georgia

Talk about consistency!! A bit pricier than other fried chicken restaurants but its worth every penny read more

I think there's crack in the fried chicken. Not really, but it sure is delicious. My husband and I just tried the grilled chicken, which is also fabulous. Fried chicken is never healthy, but Pollo Campero makes eating it totally worth it. We can always make a party better with beer and a box of Pollo Campero fried chicken. The Campero rice is quite savory for fast food. Part of me wishes they had more locations and then the part that wants to be healthy doesn't. read more

Been in the area for about a month and tried Pollo Campero after reading the reviews and it did not disappoint! Had the three piece (mixture of grilled and fried) with a side garden salad. The chicken was hot and juicy (both grilled and fried) and the salad was fresh and hearty. Will definitely be returning read more

Burritos are incredible! Shredded chicken tastes kind of like tuna. Moist and exciting flavors with various sauces. The empanadas are good too! This place is something special! read more

How can you give it any less than 5 stars? Blows away any other fast food...try it all you will like everything on the menu!

Best grilled chicken in fast food I've ever tasted. It's so satisfying. The servers are very nice as well. Depending on the day they may run out of the citrus grilled chicken so get there early. The only reason they received 4/5 stars is because I feel their sides could be a lot better. Overall go to for a healthy fast food choice. read more

This restaurant and its team offer premier service and delicious food! Ray and his team did an amazing job making me feel welcomed. The cashier was pleasant and the hostess did everything possible to make sure that I was taken care of. Ray took the time to explain the offerings and popular recommendations, which was awesome. I'm a stickler for customer service, but the service I received yesterday was much more than I've received from anywhere else in a long time. In addition to the service, the food was absolutely amazing. I've tried the Chicken Burrito on a few occasions, and I must say that it was my favorite- until I tried the chicken and a few sides. The flavors used presented a pleasant spin on chicken that you will not find in chicken from KFC or Popeye's. If you want great food that's jam- packed with flavor and served with warmth and a smile, you have to come here! I'll definitely be back again and again. read more

This is a fast food restaurant but it's not your typical fast food restaurant at all! The service was fast and friendly without the typical fast food attitude and general disarray. When you order you are given a sign with a number and then you can go to your seat, they actually bring the food to you. They use actual plates, okay plastic, but real plates and clear the table when you're finished. The place was pretty busy but the food came out quickly and it stayed busy the whole time we were there. We had the chicken strips with fries. The chicken was tender, juicy, not greasy and the fries were just right not blazing hot and they weren't greasy either. While I was eating one of the ladies who was working asked if this was my first time eating there, okay I stood out as I was the only non-Hispanic in the restaurant at that time ( a few others came and went later). I told her yes and she asked if I had tried the grilled chicken I told her I had not and she brought out a sample. Nice touch. I believe this chain originated in Guatemala (not sure though) and there are others throughout the US. I'd recommend this one for sure. Check it out~ read more

Their rotisserie chicken is the best. Especially with the lime. I go here all the time. If not for the whole chicken then it's the Camparito bowl (my favorite), the camperitos or empanadas. The campers beans and/or black beans is a must. You won't be disappointed. I've told many people about Pollo and they still go back. read more

The food is always fresh and amazing here. I can't speak on other locations because I've only tried this one. The staff is ALWAYS polite and very nice. I don't think even one rude person works there. The prices are great also. The fried chicken burrito is unique, and a lot of the sides are great, but the fried chicken and grilled chicken are read more

Fast food fried chicken doesn't get much better than this. Full-flavored seasoning, crisp skin, succulent and juicy without being greasy, never dry, excellent. Just TRY to resist eating the skin. Sides are basic and traditional, so kinda bland, but go well with the chicken, and for me its all about the chicken. The grilled is also delicious, but I'm partial to the fried. They have a nice chipotle-flavored red salsa, a spicy green tomatillo salsa, and fresh pico de gallo, all great tasting, wish they had more, like the thicker salsas. Service has always been super friendly and helpful with the menu. Food is to your table quick, even when they're busy. Price is a bit more than Church's or Popeye's, but well worth it. read more

Baked Chicken was really great. Food was fresh and not over cooked. The prices were not expensive. Great customer service.

Great food but horrible customer service. Waited 20 minutes in drive thru. They close at 10p.m. but they run out of everything by 9:30 and all they say is sorry we ran out. If a restaurant is open til 10pm they should serve all items on the menu. I asked for plantains, mash potatoes, chips, pico de gallo and burritos and they were out by 930 of these simple items. Other times they've even been out of grilled chicken their main dish. I love the taste of their food but they really need to do better with service. read more

Best fried chicken I have ever tasted and I was born in Alabama, raised here in Ga. It is delicious! There used to be a KFC next door but they went out of business, I think I know why! Campero beans are a must try too read more

Let's be completely real with each other the chicken here is over priced and sucks. I mean it's just not that good. There are so many other chicken places that just sell fresher chicken. The customer service was ok but they tried to sell me sauce. Like how broke is your company? After selling me some over priced chicken, I have to pay for the sauce? Fake reviews an bias opinions give this place a four star rating but in my opinion it's only a one star. read more

I really love their chicken its absolutely the best! The only reason i didnt give 5 stars was because my order got messed up yesterday and i called to let them know that they didnt give me the correct number of pices of chicken. So after she asked me for my name and order number she just hanged up on me. Thats really unprofesional.. other wise the chicken is the best. read more

Food not bad, not worth the price. Rice was dry. Service was horrible. I'm not sure if the girl just didn't know English but I pretty much got the opposite of what I asked for. read more

Fried chicken here is awesome. Crispy on the outside and tender/juicy on the inside. My fam loved it. This franchise is consistent with their recipes as well because the food was just like in the DC location. read more

This place is ok the chicken is not same as the from central america the flavor is not the same.

The chicken is amazing I love the grilled. And the fried is good too also get great service from the people there but most of all the chicken is splendid read more

I had the most memorable, positive restaurant experience - of any class of restaurant - of my life so far at the Norcross, Georgia location of Pollo Campero today. As a matter of fact, it was probably the best customer experience of any type that I've ever had. THE SHORT ANSWER: if you don't regularly eat here - your life isn't complete. I didn't know what I had been missing. I'll be back again and again I'm certain! This was my first time at any Pollo Campero. I had to go to their website to get their menu item names right for this review. Note: I edited out a lot of my story so that I could fit the post's character limit. They provided metal - not plastic - utensils wrapped in a paper napkin and real plates. I looked around to see if these were part of the special treatment, but it wasn't. All the diners, including several families, were served at their tables with the same service. Of course they couldn't serve everyone such a robust taste test. I was served almost immediately at my table with a ¼ of a chicken each of both their fried and grilled chicken, I think each of their Latin sides, each of their four Latin origin beverages and dinner rolls. One of the servers stopped by right away and friendly described each dish in detail. I was already impressed. All this gracious treatment would have fallen flat if the food didn't measure up. Maybe, I was already biased because of such wonderful, unexpected and unwarranted hospitality. Yet, the food was all original, fresh and most tasty. The fried chicken had a subtle, unique flavor compared to so many other quick serve restaurants. It was crisp on the outside but moist, tender and cooked perfectly inside. The grilled chicken was just as good but busting with flavorful seasons as expected. I highly recommend utilizing the lime wedges served with the grilled chicken to squeeze the juice over the top: delicious! The mashed potatoes and gravy was comfort and unassuming, surprisingly different and better than any other similar fast food similar fare. The flavor made me think it tasted just like fresh mashed potatoes I would fix at home would taste - not fluffed up powder potatoes with goopy gravy you might find elsewhere. The coleslaw was also fresh, colorful and well balanced in its ingredients. I prefer a sweet style recipe for coleslaw, but this non-sweet recipe would go on my table any day. The campo rice and the campo beans were both flavorful and lively without being bold. They were a great pairings with the chicken. The black beans were prepared great, too. It's another mildly flavorful, fresh dish with a recipe that shines because of the quality ingredients, not just bold cover-ups. They also shared samplings of their signature sides of plantains and yucca fries provided with sour cream and camper sauce respectively. I'll have to get the plantains every visit and occasionally pick up the yucca fries. Mmmm. I don't think I would have tried the Latin drinks if they didn't help me with that, but I would have gone wrong on my own. All four of them were different, but an awesome surprise. This gringo won't make the mistake of not picking up one or more each visit. I had horchata once before somewhere else and absolutely hated it. That other place must have really screwed it up, because it was awesome at Pollo Campero! The Jamaica and Tamarindo will be in my rotation as well. Though the Mango was worthy, it was unique enough for me in my travels to pinch hit often for one of the other three. This mango drink was the best quality I've found anywhere, though. The staff showed up just often enough at my table to make sure all was wonderful. The manager visited with me briefly of course. What a great guy. read more

I love the Campero Bowl...lots of fresh chicken breast, veggies and cilantro. The fried chicken was good here the one time I had it but the other 8 visits were all CAMPERO BOWL....fresh and tasty and plentiful for about 6 bucks....I go here really just for that. Drive thru is reasonable and everyone is friendly. Please try. read more

This place is delicious . The empanadas are amazing. While I am writing this review I am thinking about going right now, but I have been 2 times this week. The only downside about this restaurant is that it is next to my house. It is impossible for me to healthy now. My 2018 new years resolution is out the window. Now, my new years resolution is eat 1 millions empanadaz. read more

First visit was good. Should have tried the grilled chicken, but went with fried chicken. It was good. YUCA fries were REALLY good. Tasted so fresh. Very good tomatillo sauce--very flavorful! Can't wait to try the plantains and the beans soon. It was worth the drive from Decatur (up 85) to try this place out. Service was great and the restaurant was very clean. I would love for a new Pollo Campero to make its way closer into town! I will be BACK!!!!!!!!!!!! read more
