“Love this place from the fresh food to the friendly staff and clean environment… boss and I go every Friday just about can’t really say I’ve had a bad experience from this location . The manager I believe can’t remember his name but very friendly polite and just provides a good experience when visiting. I recommend going to this location if at all possible.“

“Food is great -- I love the spinach and potatoe side and the yucca fries. Honestly all the sides are great. The chicken is flavorful, sauces are tasty.

Staff are friendly and helpful and it's a great atmosphere inside.“

“When our car died, we went to Chick-fil-A while we waited for my husband to come jump the vehicle. We ordered one milkshake and asked for a few cherries. My son got one milkshake with an entire bottle of cherries on top and an entire bottle of cherries on the side. It made it what was a bad day, a very memorable and happy day for my 4-year old son! Thank you Chick-Fil-A!!“

“I got lunch here with my toddler and it was super packed, yet our food was ready quickly and every employee was super friendly and caring!
Charles N was particularly kind and attentive, getting my daughter an eating mat and coloring page with crayons when he saw us sit down.
I was impressed by all the staff :)“

“😀Shout out to Canton Crossing. They handled our catering order back in March for 120+ orders and mac and cheese. It was organized, delivered on time, and perfectly prepared. Praise the Lord 'cuz no one wants to deal with a hangry group of guys. Thank you to Angela and team for the great food and flawless service!“

“Top, gute Auswahl, preiswert und schnell, und alles vom Grill“

“Always order the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich. The hot is Hot. The extreme hot is Extremely Hot, like painful
Burning but it’s satisfying 😉. I’m from Tn and this is a Nashville match. These guys make a great sandwich. Good size too.“

“This is now my favorite go to! I ordered via door dash and tried to leave a review. I ordered a cheesesteak and fried chicken. Lip smacking good to the very last bite. I highly recommend Krispy krunchy chicken. 10's across the board!“

“Normally I bring lunch from home, but today I wanted to eat something different. After weighing my fast food options, I decided to go to Chick-fil-A. Side note, this was my first time going to a Chick-fil-A, and I was impressed. Although there was a line for the drive thru, the cars were moving along at a fair pace. However, I opted to go in to place my order. The line move along quickly. The staff was polite. My order was ready moments after I finished ordering. The dining area was busy with the lunch crowd, yet the dining area was clean. Finally, my meal was hot and satisfying. Summary, service and food was great.“

“This place has really good food. A simple menu, but that's why it works. It gets pretty spicy so be careful if that's not your thing. Chicken and tenders come sauced unlike raisin canes. Their sauce is on point, this is my go to for chicken“

“It's nice �“

“Great chicken! If I can’t have my usual rotisserie chicken in NYC, this is a great substitute when I’m visiting!“

“It is my favorite place, except in some Chick-fil-A's in the area. I have to come home and fill the salad plate with my own to have a complete salad or else not enough. You only get 3/4 of a salad. Salads are to wet, sometimes not so fresh. But enough to decrease my trips to this fast food restaurant. My disappointment is just the with the salads because that is the only thing I buy and the kids meal for my daughter. The employees and the service is excellent.“

“Today around noon for lunch I had a taste for some good fried chicken… I headed over to my friends at Zaxbys. They had prices to depend on. Located heartbeat of Golden Ring Baltimore County…The Manager Mohammad and his crew made my food right. Chicken so moist , tender and tasty out of this world.Lemon pepper wings seasoned to perfection. Shout out to Sara who got my order right.Go to Zaxbys , you won’t be disappointed and tell them Daryl sent you.The Manger Mohammed shared points that I later redeem.“

“The ladies at Chick-fil-A have been exceptional in providing amazing catering services! I can’t recommend them enough! Thank you!!“

“Very, very great experience at Dave's Hot Chicken in White Marsh. Service was fantastic, the staff was very friendly and the food was amazing. Highly, highly recommend them. Dave's in White Marsh is a very, very well run establishment. Great job all!!!“

“My friend from Hopkins spent the summer in Baltimore and, when asked about city classics, pointed to the chicken box. So you know we had to check it out!! The tender box was super heavy, and they really stuff it with chicken and fries. Nothing to say here besides chicken that scratches the fried-food itch. Make sure to ask for extra crack ;)“

“There is no in-store dining. This is strictly for carry out food. The fried chicken is exceptional. And the price is also very reasonable. 25 pieces cost me around $35. Do not let the location (it is in a less than desirable part of town) bother you! Calling ahead for larger orders is a must, as they have a large number of walk-in customers.

Parking: You will have to park on the street. Pataspco is very busy so park on 6th.“

“Popeye's, in comparison to national Chicken Chains such as Kentucky Fried Chicken or Chick-Fil-A is seen as the more pricier, and hit or miss option for national fast food chicken. Among the three chains, it is also the latest to form onto the scene of the three. The first location was opened by Al Copeland in 1972 in New Orleans, Louisiana, giving it a distinct taste and history compared to its competitors.

I had been to Popeye's once before this experience, I was out of town and was looking to shop at a place for lunch in the Baltimore area before jaunting down to DC, and I came to this location in search of food. Despite the location in the White Marsh Mall's food court, I was able to order with no problem. The Chicken Sandwich with Bacon and Cheese combo and Strawberry-Cream Cheese Pie were both piping hot and tasted great despite the setting and the long lines for a Saturday Afternoon, coupled with the lack of seating.

The one problem I had with this location was with the convenience, rather than assisting you with your specific order number in the loud space, you are requested to remain standing in the line before your said order could be completed, if more seating was available, this problem would be alleviated.

Overall, in terms of the specifics of this Popeye's, the location in a mall food court is great, but there are some problems that could be worked out further.“

“Fried chicken is great. Fried catfish is great. Breakfast sandwich is just what you want. The people are awesome and it's a place you can hit up on the daily. But your not going to get your fru fru coffee here. There is no fancy pancakes with whip cream. This is food for the working class person. This is strong coffee and a solid egg and cheese bagel to get you to lunch. Or chicken and lamb over rice to get you through the day. It's a great eatery to have in your back pocket. Oh and very reasonable prices.

Update. Chicken cheese steaks are sooo good.“

“Love this chicken! You will have to wait a little bit but that’s because everything is fresh. Everything was very good. Will be back for sure!“

“Issa Hole in the wall but that damn chicken is good af. As a bougie transplant hailing from the DMV I thought this place was a lil sus. But I ain’t looking a gift horse in the mouth. Food was bussin! I had the burger, the fries, the wings, even my 9m old had the chicken nuggets and it was *chefs kiss*. I probably won’t be back in a create of comfort and this place ain’t comfortable at all. Took away a star because they don’t have mumbo sauce—Judge ya mami“

“They have this deal at the moment for two 8 inch cheese steak subs for 13.50, which is really like 14 dollars after tax, so it ends up being 7 dollars per 8 inch sub. Might be too much for one person, but if you're two people, then it's a pretty cheap way to share a meal together. Relatively speaking at least. I do think the quality of the subs is a bit better at Spartan's Pizza down the street, but like I said, the price of this particular type of sub is significantly cheaper at the moment. If they change the prices later, then Idk.

Anyway, aside from that, their milk is pretty good. The price of a half-gallon is about 2.11 after tax, which is actually cheaper than the grocery store. Much cheaper than the 3.50 that they're charging at some other nearby convenience stores. Their gallon milk is about 3 something lately which is really cheap, relatively speaking 🤔.

Overall, it's a nice place and people seem to really like their chicken. I still haven't tried it yet because I just generally don't care about chicken that much. But they do have a lot of other things except cheese steak subs lol. It's just that I've only ever eaten that thus far. The people that work there are nice, honestly even the people that go there seem to be pretty nice. So I'd definitely recommend checking them out sometime if you're in the area.

Recently realized that there's a second floor dining area with tables and chairs which is pretty cool. Idk how I never noticed that before 😆“

“I just wanted to take a moment to share our experience with this Chick-fil-a because truly this location has the best, freshest, hot food. It truly took us back to when all the locations started popping up and the quality of the food no matter what location was always on point! It was 6 of us and we all are Chick-fil-a frequent buyers and we all absolutely agreed this was the quality we all used to get from every location!!! VERY DELICIOUS and the service as always just amazing and the inside dining and restrooms very clean…
This definitely matters 😊“

“The Fish is my go to, but you gotta catch it fresh. I usually stop here on weekday mornings it's never crowded during that time so the atmosphere is quiet and chill but this place is surrounded by strips clubs so the atmosphere can drastically change depending on the time and day of the week.“

“I've always been a sucker for a great chicken sandwich! These def don't disappoint. I've always added sauces to mine as when they come plain with a pickle it just seems to be lacking a certain pizzazz which a bit of mayo & chick fill a sauce remedies immediately! I've also lived for their newer sandwiches that come with yummy add ons including cheese Tomato & delicious sauces“

“Pollo saltado from Chicken Rico has been a favorite comfort food of mine for years. Sometimes it's extra saucy which is the best! But no matter what it's always delicious! Very casual spot for a quick bite or takeout. The tres leches is also amazing.“

“This was my first time trying krispy krunchy chicken. Wasn't disappointed. Love popeyes & royal farms with church's rounding out my top 3. Krispy has now entered this stratosphere in my opinion. The only chicken crunchier would be Kfc extra crispy that's extremely hard to find. Would love to see more Krispy Krunchy Chicken stand alone. Keep up the great job!“

“I’ll be honest, I was both excited and skeptical about trying Wonder when it first opened. The whole concept seemed a little strange to me, and I wasn’t sure how it would actually work. Since they were offering 50% off for first time customers when I went, I figured it was worth a try.

We ordered a pizza from Alanza, a double cheeseburger from Burger Baby, and a Build Your Own Bowl from El Diez. Funny enough, the burger, which was the item I was least excited about based on how it looked, ended up being my favorite. It was honestly one of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time. The pizza was a little overdone, but I actually like my pizza that way, so no complaints there. The bowl was good too, though I felt like it was missing a little something. Maybe some extra lime or cilantro would have given it more of that fresh Mexican flavor.

I’d definitely come back and try some of the other restaurants they have. I also really liked the atmosphere. It was quiet, clean, and didn’t feel chaotic, which was nice. The kitchen area looked especially clean, which always leaves a good impression.

If you’ve been curious about Wonder and are looking to try something different, I’d say it’s worth checking out, especially while they’re offering 50% off for new customers. There’s a huge variety of food options, so it’s easy for everyone in your group to find something they’ll enjoy. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised and left more impressed than I expected to be.“

“Possibly the best Pollo Campero location that my girlfriend and I have ever been!! The chickens always come out fresh and juicy, and Britney working at the counter is always friendly and helpful, she even kindly tolerates my broken Spanish lol! Definitely worth it to check this place out if you’re thinking of trying Hispanic fried chicken!

Also download their app for coupons and stuff, amazing!“

“I came here on a late night with a friend and was one of the nicest experiences Ive had. We ordered some breakfast sandwiches , a steak egg and cheese and turkey ham egg a cheese, but while were waiting we were asked to try out their tenders and biscuits. The tenders they gave us were hot, fresh and tasty! They also gave us their signature sauce and it was amazing so much better than Raisin Canes lol. The honey biscuit was very good, nice homemade taste plus they added melted butter. Although the blueberry biscuit was quite weird, I wouldn't recommend that flavor. Now for the breakfast sandwiches, the steak egg and cheese was not that good to be honest I think it was because the steak was grounded up and the seasonings were a bit off? The Turkey ham egg and cheese was very delicious though, a good ham substitute option. I will definitely be coming back here, the staff is so sweet and the prices are reasonable!“

“Used to be one of my favorite places.
Pros: Their chicken bites are outstanding especially if you eat them fresh.
I once opened their chicken bites at my workplace and the amazing smell brought all my coworkers to my desk.
Their loaded fries are excellent as well.
The hangry sauce goes really well with most of their food.
Cons: They have suddenly decreased the serving size of their chicken bites.
Another problem is if I deliver their food, the way they throw the chicken bites in the bag without packing it in a proper box is unacceptable, but if you request a box in the instructions, they comply with it.“

“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!“

“This place is very clean
Food is fresh well done and the Guy Oscar has great customer service .If you want the best chicken fish shrimps and especially the biscuits please go here you won’t be disappointed.Also great prices .Number on customer service .“

“I like this particular NY fried chicken The food is delicious and the customer service is excellent and friendly.“
