“Clean, bright, and good vibes all around. A great spot to chill and enjoy some spicy food. Laid-back atmosphere with good music and a welcoming feel. The chicken was perfectly crispy and juicy—easily some of the best Nashville-style hot chicken I’ve had!“

“Some days ago I meet Nanci a worker of this place then I went to the place and I ordered a marañon juice and also some food, the juice was so good since that, always stop for some juice and the Birria pupusas they’re so good too I recommend this place 10/10“

“Food was amazing per usual. Started with half order wings but when asked for double dipped still received regular wings. No harm tho still great taste. Highly recommend the calamari too and our oysters were so fresh! Server was a bit aloof and the young lady that brought our drinks almost wasted on us and not too long after drenched another guest while delivering drinks. We had steak, crab cakes, more wings and salmon and everything tasted perfect. Our sorbet and ice cream dessert was a wonderful finish although I don't remember being recommended anything from our server. We had picked a few drinks of the cocktail menu as well and the winter sidecar was insanely good. Not many pics taken bc our conversation was too good but good to come back again. Amber collected our checks but wasn't our server but her energy was great n we hope to sit with her in the future“

“Both the service and food were outstanding 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟The spicy miso soup was delicious, and the noodles were incredibly chewy. I loved it!“

“Best chicken!! Hope they will open a store in FL“

“we LOVE Chick-fil-A anywhere, but this new on in DC is Amaaaaaaazing!!! Clean and neat! The staff is SO friendly! The owner is awesome and helps the community.“

“I tried their food for the first time yesterday, based on a recommendation of a new employee at my place of work. I was absolutely shocked by how delicious the sandwich was. The chicken was crispy and juicy and the rooster sauce was dynamite! After lunch, I recommended it to another coworker who then also ordered it for lunch and tried it for the first time. She said she had the same experience I had- life changing! If you’re looking for a chicken sandwich, this is the place to go!“

“Very nicely priced tasty dinners- half chicken with suitably prepared sides- plantains, rice and beans, vegetable rice. Spicy sauces also can kick up the flavor a notch. Pleasant courteous professional staff in a clean well lighted place. I will recommend to come here“

“I'm always satisfied with my order from this restaurant. The food is fresh, flavorful, chicken is plentiful and its served relatively quickly.

Note: the menu offerings may be correct but the prices in the pictures may not be.“

“My family and I just ate here and everyone really liked it! We tried dishes including the bibimbap and Korean BBQ both with the beef bulgogi, plus chicken yakisoba and the beef bulgogi tacos. Then we finished with the ice cream sundae as well as the fried ice cream, and split each five ways. The fried ice cream was the favorite.

Revised September 2025:
We are back home in Arizona and my kids are still talking about the bulgogi tacos!

All the staff was super helpful, especially the person who greeted us from behind the bar, and tag teamed as our server. She has a very genuine vibe and you could tell she cared that we had a great experience. Definitely recommended!“

“Crisp & Juicy delivers exactly what its name promises—perfectly cooked Peruvian-style rotisserie chicken that’s both mouthwateringly juicy on the inside and satisfyingly crisp on the outside. The chicken is marinated in traditional Peruvian spices, slow-roasted, and served with a smoky, addictive flavor that’s hard to replicate. Their signature green and yellow sauces take everything to the next level—whether you’re dipping the chicken, fries, or even just spooning it straight. It’s simple, flavorful, and consistently well-executed.

Beyond the chicken, the sides round out the experience: yuca fries that are golden and crunchy, flavorful rice, and plantains that add a touch of sweetness. The portions are generous, the service is quick, and the vibe is laid-back—perfect for takeout or a casual meal. Crisp & Juicy doesn’t try to be fancy—it just does one thing really well: comfort food with bold flavor. It’s the kind of place that turns first-timers into loyal regulars“

“The order took about 15 minutes to complete. A little long, but the good came out for and fresh! Chicken was cooked just right, and the sauces were great. My favorite sauce was the honey mustard, but the other sauce was good too. The lady working in front was nice. Their slaw was awesome and the fries tasted freshly cut. I would come back next time I'm in town.“

“Had a good experience at Peri Peri. I got the Peri Chicken Wrap. It was tasty. Some of the chicken was a little chewy but all in all it had good flavor and for the most part the chicken was tender. I got the mango and lime with the hot sauce. It was really tasty. I also got the Peri fries. They were really good as well. The white sauce they gave is really good with the fries. I am not sure if that sauce was intended to eat with the wraps or not. The wraps were messy but that is when food tastes the best. I will definitely be returning to try other items.

The service was also really good. The cashier took her time with us and was very patient as my family decided what they wanted to order. They also got a delivery during our visit and the manager/owner (guessing) offered him a free water/drink. I thought that was really nice.“

“The food was excellent. I have never had South African cuisine before, and it made me wish I had access to it at home.“

“Went there last night.
The food arrived about 50 minutes late, which was frustrating. However, the place was quite busy, so it was somewhat understandable. The manager came over, apologized sincerely, and even offered us a free meal coupon for our next visit as a gesture of goodwill. That kind of customer service definitely helped turn the experience around.“

“Great Food!!! Need one in Ann Arundle county🥰“

“Great atmosphere and amazing hot sauces!!!!! A must if you are in town!!“

“🌶❤️🌶 We love the delicious chicken at Nando’s! They have awesome vegetarian items as well! Get the warm pastels de Natas for dessert. Life changing!!“

“I've only been once to this location and only ordered a chicken sandwich which was magnificent 🤤. We have fined in another location out in California on our first time and really enjoyed it. The staff here is very pleasant, friendly, and professional.“

“OMG!!!!! When I tell you that I have never tried a tastier roast chicken in the world, it is because it is true.... This place has one of the best foods with a lot of seasoning, it tastes so good and they give you good portions and the prices are fair. THANK YOU I'm going to come every day until I try the entire menu!!!!!!!! <3“

“A huge menu. Chicken and Waffles! All of the breakfast meat is turkey!“

“The combination between African and Portuguese is espectacular!“

“This was my first time trying this food and it was like that...the bomb.com
Me and my wife had a 8-piece with macaroni and cheese in a delicious mashed potatoes and gravy the eight piece was a variety of the different styles of chicken shout out to the manager with the dreads.she was on her awesomeness. She motivated her workers and everything... Please if you hungry on H Street NE go check out Hangry Joe's.“

“I bought the boneless wings. It was amazing, I bought the secret cause flavor and it was too good. I also ate it with yum-yum sauce. I also order tteokboki with cheese, it was so flavorful tbh. I order carryout by calling 15 minutes before arriving and it was ready. Super good food and service 10/10“

“I always smell the chicken from this place when I drive by. It smells wonderful, I decided to stop and try them. I got two pieces of chicken, fries, biscuits, and mumbo sauce. The chicken was crispy and juicy inside. The mumbo sauce was really good. The service was wonderful, especially since I didn't know what they had at 1st. The guy working the window was exceptionally nice and patient he helped us with our order(sorry I didn't get his name). I am definitely going to try them again. Thanks.

“I was really impressed by the food here. The sandwich was delicious and the portion of fries was massive. The honey butter chicken sandwich is seriously greasy — literally dripping with oil — but let’s be real, you’re not ordering a fried chicken sandwich to be healthy. You can order with an iPad and get texted when your order is ready, and Western Market has plenty of seating inside and out. I’ll come back again the next time I have a craving for oily goodness.“

“Good and Clean! Food always HIT.
After Ushering at church, I don't want to cook. I want to go to Silvestre Chicken #1 and watch the game IN THE STORE while I CRUSH my dinner. They have a plug on the wall...ummm hummm
Let's watch THE GAME“

“Maaannnn, we ordered through uber eats and good heavens we nearly fell over it was so damn good. We got the honey butter chicken , half and half lemonade and the vanilla custard, it was so delicious...haven't had good food like this in a while. Definitely will order again.“

“First time even hearing about peri peri chicken but wanted to be adventurous. Every single item of my order was filled incredible flavor. I’m talking lick you lips and ask for more type flavor. It’s the one place I have revisit once I’m back. 🥰🥰“

“Oh good Lord, the food is so good I must confess, it’s very well and professionally packaged. I love it and I have referred lots of my friends there already and they confessed it was and still is so good. I will be returning to get some more….“

“Great customer service prices are good as well“

“The original Rotisserie chicken is season perfectly, I love the corn salad it marinates with the campero rice as well“

“OMG!- I HAVE drove by here a 100 times and never stop! Today was my first time! Omg!- I got the chicken and rice bowl!! I got the carrot cake!! Absolutely Amazing! Yummy! Wow!! Affordable!! Great Food! Many Thanks!-

“This is my second time here. The service is friendly, food made to order and hot and fresh. The drinks are refreshing, this time I tried the strawberry lemonade and it was delicious. As far as food my sister loved the chicken sandwich and fries. I loved my seafood boil. The price is worth the love put into the food.“

“This is my second time ordering from Pollo Típico and I wasn’t disappointed. The first time I ordered Bistec Encebollado and today Pechuga de pollo. The food tastes really good and they serve big portions. The servers are very friendly. The atmosphere is ok, nothing fancy but the food is what I was there for anyways. I really recommend this place.“

“The haters gonna hate because they cant find this hidden local gem but the spicy chicken sandwich makes it so worth it. Everything from the biscuits to even the water tastes amazing compared to other popeyes locations. The ambience and vibes are immaculate especially if you love a good water view. Im def coming back soon.“

“My neighbor and I just stopped in 9-25-25 on our way home from work. I’ve tried all the chicken spots. This is the best I’ve had!!! The staff… super friendly. The beans and rice... amazing! That chicken was fresh and hot!
We will come back soon!“

“Muy rico 😋 el pollo Popeyes“

“good food fast service. the spicy chicken was good.“

“If you're in the mood for great Peruvian style chicken, stop by Pollo Central in the Aspen Hill Shopping Center. I've been getting carryout there for 2 years and they never disappoint. My go-to order is 1/2 chicken with fries and beans. In addition, I'll add some street tacos on the side. Everything is excellent. You can't go wrong with either chicken or al pastor with the street tacos, and the mayonnaise sauce I use for dipping my fries is addictive! The restaurant is always clean, and the staff is quick and efficient, so the wait is never long. Whether you're dining in or waiting for carryout, there are two large screens showing international soccer matches or news to help pass the time. This is a perfect after work stop for a great, reasonably priced dinner.“

“servicio excelente muy bueno todo ok“

“Nice neighborhood & foods“

“The food was awesome! Atmosphere was beautiful 🤩“
