    Three specialty drinks besides the Pepsi products. 3/9/25.

    I found out that Pollo Campero recently opened and wanted to check it out. After doing a search on the chain, they advertise that they were among the top ten fast food chicken restaurants in the nation. The chicken I tried was decent, but not necessarily a big favorite of mine. Located in a former KFC which was closed for years and a Boston Market that never came to fruition, when I drove by a little before 2pm it was like a major event with traffic blocking Frankford Avenue, and a long line out the door. I decided anyway that if people like this place that much, I should wait it out. I parked my car (DO NOT PARK AT 7/11 or AutoZone - you'll get towed) and got in line. By the time I got to the entrance door, the line had grown even larger and snaked around the restaurant. Once inside, it was a mini amusement park ride with another line before getting to the cashier. Total time in line for me was about 75 minutes. If I took a shot with the drive through, it may have been a bit shorter, but I wanted to check out the inside of the place. Pollo Campero must be huge with the Hispanic population. I think I was the only non-Spanish speaker. The long line was well behaved and thankfully the weather was quite good with a full breeze. The restaurant had multiple staff in safety vests to direct traffic and one was at the door making sure that nothing got out of hand by restricting people entering the place. The clean place was packed with families, and the buzz was palpable. The two cashiers were asking people lots of questions and the young and friendly cashier I had was very soft spoken which required me to ask her to repeat a lot of the questions. I ended up getting a bunch of different things just to try and get a flavor of many different foods. I got a 4-piece mixed grilled and fried chicken, a chicken sandwich, and a 3-piece empanadas. Sides with everything I chose the rice, beans, coleslaw, and plantains. Overall, I liked all the food (I didn't eat all of it, just tried) and will have some for later meals. The fried chicken was crispy and I liked the grilled chicken more. Loved the plantains. The coleslaw was mayo based and had a kick to it. The chicken sandwich was dry and needed sauce on the average roll. I liked the empanadas but my wife was not impressed. They were full of chicken and they had a mustard like sauce inside which I enjoyed. The rice was bland, and beans were flavorful. It was about $36 total for everything. They have Pepsi products here (thumbs down) and also a machine with a trio of other choices (see my picture)! Pollo Campero is not my newest most favorite fried chicken place. But the food was good, and they have a loyalty program if you get their app. They also do catering. When i did a search, they appeared to be all over the Trenton, NJ area so I don't know if this is their first Philadelphia location. Anyway, I wish them much luck in the business. I'm sure the Popeyes across the street was jealous with Pollo Campero's huge outpouring of customers!

    Not sure what the hype is. Chicken nuggets are ok but the crust is terrible and super salty. Fries were soggy. Not worth it.

We ordered sliders , Mac Attack ( loaded 1/2 fries 1/2 mac and cheese ) and plain fries ( for the little one who loved them ) and drinks . The food was delicious and hot plus the service was warm and very efficient ! Thank you to the staff at Asad's Hot chicken - We had a great time !

Why did it feel like I personally offended them just by existing I'm standing in line watching straight up eye rolling like I'm in a reality show. The cashier was being kinda rude to a man who didn't speak much English, which was already a red flag. Then when we asked for hot sauce on the side, the worker looked at us like we asked him to solve world hunger... rolled his eyes and basically YEETED it in the bag. Now let's talk about this "loaded mac and cheese"...... WHERE WAS THE MAC??? I'm not even kidding, it was like 80% sauce, 15% hopes and dreams, and 5% actual noodles. And the chicken?? They were guarding that like it was rare treasure. I've seen Chipotle be stingy, but this?? criminal. I will say, the place is cute, very aesthetic, giving TikTok core BUT the tables??? why am I sitting at a crime scene. Crumbs, sauce, dirt... like did nobody believe in wiping things down?? Overall, it looked amazing online but in real life... yeah I'm gonna have to pass. My mac and cheese shouldn't be playing hide and seek.

    Disappointing!!! Always double-check your order before driving off!…read moreI placed an online order an hour in advance for pickup. When I arrived, the order was ready, but after driving away and opening the bag, we realized we were completely missing our aloha burger, burger steak, and chicken nuggets dip. When we turned around and went back inside, the staff actually said, "We were waiting for you to come back." If you knew the order was incomplete, why let us leave with it in the first place? They handed over the missing burger and told me the burger steak would take about 7 minutes. After sitting there for 10 minutes, a manager came up and asked, "Why'd you come back? I saw you leave." I explained we were still missing part of our order. To his credit, he was apologetic, handled it immediately, and had the burger steak out a minute later. He mentioned that things get busy sometimes--except there were maybe three tables occupied in the entire restaurant. It was not busy. Bottom line: someone on the team needs to be verifying online/to-go orders for accuracy before handing them off. A lot of people drive an hour or more just to get Jollibee and can't easily turn around to pick up forgotten items. The manager was polite once he stepped in, but the lack of basic order checking made this a frustrating experience. I've been doing online orders, maybe this was a fluke. I love Jollibee and the food is consistent. But, this location teaches you to check everything before you leave, because the staff couldn't care less about missing items. Jollibee has been increasing its prices within the last 5 years and it's really getting pricey ordering from the best fried chicken in the US for 2 years. And missing items you've already paid for makes the entire visit truly infuriating.

    Finally tried their famous Palabok and I love it! Chicken is good but somehow I don't like the…read morechicken tenders--a bit too dry.

I called in my order and received very friendly service. Overall, I think Dimension would be four stars from me if we decided to eat at the restaurant. The food did not carry well all the way home. Very colorful but most items did not hit the spot. The Pastelillos (Empanadas) were nothing to write home about with not too much filling. They were just good. The plantain chips were almost too plentiful with the amazing guacamole. I really liked the Dimension Tostones (fried plantain) with chicken, pico de gallo, and cheese but it would have been awesome eaten right there. The tostones ended up at home almost hard to chew and little flavor until you got the chicken and other wonderful add-ins. It was the same with the chueltas (fried pork chop). Good sized pieces, didn't work well getting home. The rice and beans were excellent. Others in the family got the costillas de cerdo (BBQ ribs) which were nice and meaty with good sauce, and chimichangas which, unfortunately, were not great by the time we got home. The family also didn't really care for them overall. The two frozen margaritas to go did make it home and they hit the spot. The girls running the show in the back were super friendly and helpful. I did see other staff, though, not wearing their masks. I wish Yelp would move to half stars, as I'd make this 3 1/2 stars, but this time I have to round down instead of up. A lot of good things here at Dimension, but some not as good both because of the having to do take out and the fact we didn't like everything. I would still try again at Dimension, but not take out. The rear parking lot tables were getting full when we got our order, so a lot of others like this restaurant. $130 for four sides, four entrees, and two drinks. Tip was on top of this.
