“Awesome“

“The food is absolutely amazing 👏!“

“5 stars for a casual dining chicken place.

The prices are very fair for the quality. Staff is always helpful and kind. They have the usual suspects in terms of side dishes, but they have spa actual healthy but also tasty options. Ask the fried chicken sandwiches we have tried are delicious. Same with roast chicken, wings, and salads.

For a sense of what they are like, when you order water to stock they give you large cup of water with plenty of ice, rather than most places that give you a puny cup of shame.“

“We walked in to Chicken Salad Chick about 30 minutes before they were set to close for the holiday. The team and manager encouraged us to stay as long as we liked, and offered us as many samples as we wanted. The service and the food were SO nice. Major kudos to the manager.“

“I got the spicy chicken sandwich with no pickles, baked Mac and cheese with the banana pudding for dessert. The sandwich with the red sauce 8.8/10 nice healthy pieces of chicken, the Mac and cheese 9.2/10 the top was nice and crispy and the cheese was super creamy. Now the Banana pudding 9.8/10 nice thick pudding not watery at all the wafers were perfect bringing my total score to 27.8/30. the portions are well balanced!! Yeah I plan on returning to try 3 more random items from the menu“

“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!“

“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“

“Stayed at a local hotel and ordered from Door Dash. SECRET SPICY CHICKEN was great. Pretty much like General Tso's Chinese but a tad spicier. Large pieces of good quality chicken, even the medium order was too much for me. Pair it with steamed white rice, put the rice in the sauce. Very good.“

“I have ate and picked up takeout many times at the Crisp & Juicy on my way home from running errands or after a long bike ride and the food is always good and the service friendly. Today I got the Grill combination platter and the fries were cooked to perfection, nice and crispy. The chicken and sausage were delicious. If you want consistently yummy food at a good price make the crisp and juicy one of your regular spots.“

“Good food! Fast service, friendly and Courteous staff.“

“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 generous serving size and good quality food- we ordered a gyro and bang bang chicken with plantains and green beans. We ordered the little dolce le leche cookies and yucca fries on the side- omg, everything was so tasty and filling! We grabbed it for the ride back to southern VA and it did not disappoint!“

“I’ve ordered the poke from this place 3 times. It’s always excellent and feel good knowing it’s healthy and fresh. Javad is the best. He did an excellent job of explaining what wonder was about. Super friendly and helpful.“

“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“

“🌶❤️🌶 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!!“

“Shoutout to Marquis at Roaming Rooster in Gaithersburg. His customer service is consistently excellent. A month ago, he helped me with a small issue and handled it with total professionalism.

Tonight (Nov 1), my food came fresh, correct, and packaged with care. I called the store to confirm the spelling of his name, and he answered the phone with the same polite and upbeat energy he always has.

Marquis is truly an asset to this location, and he’s the reason I continue ordering from here.“

“No matter what time of day, this is THE BEST Peruvian Chicken around!“

“Everything was amazing!!! But them Brussel sprouts!!!! Legit on another level! Legit could turn anyone who hates them into fans!! 9 out of 10 for everything!!“

“It was so good and loved the spice blend. The portion was huge and took a minute to devour the sando. With the spice and the sweetness of the cabbage was perfection. The fried okra with the dip was good.
The gentleman at the cash register was cute, my eyes also got a treat.“

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

“I love the nandos experience....the area is very calming and very easy on the eye..if I ever move to DC that is the area to be in..much respect to Tammy..and the young guy who came to ask if we were good...yes people lets do our part to keep them employed...good job“

“Always love getting their grilled chicken, and Carlos always brings a smile to my face whenever he works. Jose got me hooked on their Pollo sauce and I keep begging them to sell the sauce in a jar (lol) love the friendly staff and the Bethesda spot is by far my favorite location“

“Yummy“

“Excellent customer service, and food was hot and tested good All the people very professional“

“Great late night food option. The chicken fingers tasted fresh and tender. I was actually surprised with the big portion sizes, which is a rare thing these days.

Deduct 1 point because we tried calling and they didn't answer, others have complained about this as well from the reviews.“

“I had such a great experience here last night right before closing. Even that close to the end of the night (9:55pm), the staff was incredibly kind, patient, & welcoming. You would’ve thought they had just opened for the day. The Manager Alexis was so professional & friendly, & Santiago’s heart of kindness & servitude, especially being in his first week, did an amazing job!!! Their positive attitudes & customer service really stood out & made my entire night better. Thank you both for going above & beyond! You rock!!!!🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼“

“the friendly atmosphere the food was AWESOME“

“This is the perfect place to stop in and grab a quick bite. There is one table, and plenty of space inside of the bar next door to eat, but I love having the option to just grab-n-go when I want something really good to eat at home. There is a good amount of side options and entrees, and you can order from a couple different menus, similar to a ghost kitchen, if you're in the mood for a different type of cuisine.“

“Great little place! First time here, so did not try their corn dogs. But, wow, probably the best chicken tenders I've ever had! Amazing soft, juicy, intensely flavorful. They had like 5 or 6 dipping sauces, and I got hot so my mouth is now completely on fire. Next time will likely choose medium.“

“Every time I come from NC to visit my daughter in DC I stop in this place. As a Peruvian I must say this is the authentic peruvian chicken, the taste of the pollo a la brasa is exquisite. The sides are also fantastic. The customer service is also wonderful, thank you to Juan and Wendy. Please keep the good job!“

“Nice neighborhood & foods“

“I swear the chicken tasted like it had national funding 😭🍗 Somehow it was too good — like suspiciously good. Crispy, perfect, life-changing. I walked in expecting fast food and left questioning every other Popeyes I’ve ever had.“

“First trip to this fast food location and I finally understand the hype. We got half spicy and not. The chicken was juicy but spicy. Don’t underestimate the little flags that say spicy on the chicken because the spice level is on point. The adobo rice was dangerously addictive, and the gravy deserves its own fan club. The spaghetti caught me off guard because it was so sweet and had hotdog pieces in it. It’s definitely unique as a fast food option and more on the fun, kid-friendly side than traditional pasta, but for sure if you have a toddler, he or she will enjoy eating it. The Palabok was different because it had a strong shrimp flavor. The guava, lychee, and pineapple drinks were all refreshing and not your typical fast food drink options. Ordering through the app was easy, and pickup was a breeze. Overall, delicious 😋“

“Their food is the best my favorite is torta mexicana ,pescado frito their fries taste so delicious dip in there white sauce I also Love their customer service and how family-friendly they are . There dessert is die for .“

“Once again, this location can not get my order correct. Ongoing issue since covid. I'm done with them“

“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“

“Excellent as always, great food as well the service, Lucy was very kind with us, and obviously we’re coming back next time“

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

“Gio’s chicken is the only place in the DMV that makes me feel like I’m in the homeland with their delicious authentic nicaraguan dishes. Definitely will be coming more often. Service was great, the staff is very friendly and took their time to explain all my questions. Definitely worth the money.“

“They don’t speak a lick of English but DAMN do they know they way around a kitchen and plate.

Pulled up otw home from out the city. I have an hour drive and I do not feel like I’ll have the bandwidth to cook tonight. Got half chicken with two sides and MAAM, Abuela in the back knows how to throw together an amazing dinner.

No excessive wait, efficiency and a good meal. It’s now the go to when I don’t feel like cooking“

“Went by there today (3/31/25) at 7 am and they were closed.
Mr Young and his wonderful wife are in South Korea and the business has been sold (handed off) to the same owners are the tobacco shop next store. The same workers still work at Youngs (as of 2 weeks ago when I was last in there); but the hours of operation may need to be updated.“

“Amazing! I went here this morning, 3/28 around 10am, and the staff was amazzinggg extremely friendly went completely above and beyond. Every last person there was great. They offered to refill my coffee, cleaned our table, took the extra time no other place does to help us with our complicated order. You can’t find customer service like this anymore. A gem 💎“
