I stopped by just to grab some yuca fries. We used the drive-thru, so I couldn't see the inside ambiance, but the service was consistently poor. I tried ordering a frozen mango tropichiller from their menu and was told, "we don't sell that here," even though it was listed. There was little acknowledgment or courtesy overall. I asked for a sauce for the yuca fries and honestly I wasn't sure if the attendant heard my request until she handed me the sauce. A simple thank you or you're welcome can change a customers overall experience.

This chicken was charred and tasted like literal ash. Had to peel the skin completely off.

I ordered chicken well done, the cashier Susan, advised that for them well done means burnt. She then proceeded to let the gentleman preparing my chicken breast that I asked for them to be "burnt," and never used the words "well done." She was very rude and unapologetic about it.

Absolutely disgusting. All fat and rice that was at least 2 days old. I've lived here my whole life and have gone to many Pollo tropicals this was absolutely disgusting. The fact that they sold this is insane.

DRIED CHICKEN

This was the absolute worse chicken I have ever received from any establishment in my life! I went threw the drive threw and order 1/4 grilled chicken with rice and vegetables. The chicken was dryer than cardboard and tasted as such. I feel I was taken advantage of because I went through the drive threw. If I would have entered the store I would have never accepted this trash that they considered chicken. I will never go back there again.

It literally takes an hour to go through the drive-thru even when there's only 3 cars ahead of you. I'm not exaggerating by the way.

We love this new Raising Cane's location in Pompano! It is fairly easy to access, and the parking…read morelot is a good size. The drive-thru setup is especially impressive. The entire area is very well lit, and there is a menu board outside along with two staff members assisting with orders before you even reach the pickup window. This keeps the line moving efficiently and creates a very smooth experience from start to finish. The staff members are consistently friendly and welcoming, which always makes the visit even better. And of course, the food is a 10 out of 10! My husband and I absolutely love their chicken tenders and fries. They offer several combo meals depending on how many tenders you want, and meals typically come with Texas toast, fries, and coleslaw. One thing we appreciate is how customizable the meals are, allowing you to swap sides if preferred. Their fresh-squeezed lemonade is also a huge favorite of ours, along with the famous Cane's sauce. We always order one or two extra sauces because they are just that good! Overall, this location does an excellent job with both food quality and customer service.

The fried....oh my...the fried!!! Perfectly crisp on the outside and mash on the inside. One of the best parts, the toast. Get the heck outta here!! It's buttery and has the perfect grill on it. The platters are reasonably priced for the amount that you get and the place is spotless. The service is wonderful and worthy of restaurant vs fast food a quality. Everyone has a smile and you can't help to leave with the same. We have a much closer chicken spot but will gladly drive the extra 7 minutes too get to Cane's. Great job to all!!!

To be honest, anyone who rated Dave's low because of the original recipe flavor should come back and give the Hot Honey version a try. I understand that the original flavor isn't for everyone, but this is a completely different experience. A few people in my family were never fans of Dave's, yet they all said they loved the new Hot Honey flavor tonight. In my opinion, it's 100% better than the original recipe, and I'll definitely be back for more. Dave's really struck gold with this new flavor. Stop in and try it for yourself. You won't be disappointed!

The chicken was juicy, crispy, flavorful, and had the perfect amount of heat. I enjoyed it so much that I completely forgot to take a picture--by the time I remembered, it was already too late! Now, I DON'T EVEN EAT PICKLES, but somehow Dave's had me eating the pickles too! They were actually delicious and complemented the chicken perfectly. I also asked for extra seasoning on my fries, and they were ON POINT--crispy, well-seasoned, and definitely not lacking flavor. For a first visit, Dave's Hot Chicken made a great impression. Now I see what the hype is about. Definitely will be back!

It's always good to walk into a fast food restaurant and find it spotlessly clean. Bonus points for every employee having a smile when greeting me! I ordered the two piece meal with yucca fries and had the Jamaica juice (hibiscus). Although the chicken was fried, there was no breading and the skin was crispy as can be. The meat was moist and juicy and full of flavor! The yucca fries with crispy on the outside and soft inside. The drink was very refreshing and I refilled it. I chose not to have dessert since I still had the shop but did refill my pink glass one more time with the horchata which was also very refreshing! One thing of note, I like that they give you a regular plate and utensils instead of plastic ware when your dining in!

I decided to check out this casual restaurant which has a clean and inviting atmosphere. I placed a dine-in order for a 2-pc fried chicken meal with a drink, dinner roll, and a side of Campero rice. I also ordered another side of sweet plantains. After paying, I received a table number marker so the food could be delivered to my table. Within minutes the food arrived and appeared appetizing. I started with the chicken leg, which was lightly breaded, crispy on the outside, and both tender and flavorful on the inside; it was accompanied by a soft dinner roll. The plantains, fried to a golden brown, were deliciously sweet. The seasoned rice was tasty and cooked to a soft consistency. The meal was satisfactory and filling, along with the cold, refreshing beverage. I felt a bit bad about leaving the plate on the table, but I didn't see any trash bins anywhere. I asked an employee what to do with the plate, and she replied that she would take care of it. I truly look forward to returning to try the grilled chicken and the other sides next.

We came here over the weekend to support one of our friends who was cooking for fusion lounge. So basically fusion lounge is an establishment of its own, but I have some friends that have a restaurant business on the side and on this particular night that we visited, they were cooking and offering their menu items for the guests that were visiting fusion lounge. The lounge is very nice inside there is tons of space. Lots of areas for folks to hang out and sit while enjoying dei is and their food. The bar and this establishment is not very big and when we first arrived, there was only one bartender on scene, who unfortunately was very slow with making drinks. As the night went on, a few more bartenders arrived, making it a little bit easier to order and get drinks out faster.. There is a DJ on site every weekend, he was playing some good music and mixing really well. He definitely got the crowd going. It's a nice place to come hang out. I don't know that I would come back here anytime soon. It is a bit out of my way. However, if you are in the area and you're looking for a night out, I would definitely recommend you checking this place out.
