“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“

“I had a great experience at Popeyes! From the moment I walked in, the staff was friendly, welcoming, and professional. They greeted me with a smile, took my order quickly, and made sure everything was correct.

The food was fresh, hot, and full of flavor. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The fries were seasoned just right, and the biscuits were warm and delicious. Everything tasted fresh, and the portions were generous.

The restaurant was clean, well-organized, and had a comfortable atmosphere. Even though it was busy, the service was fast, and the employees worked efficiently while still being polite and attentive.

Overall, I am very impressed with the quality of the food and the excellent customer service. I will definitely come back again and would highly recommend this Popeyes to anyone looking for a delicious meal and a great dining experience. Thank you for making my visit so enjoyable!“

“Today was much busier than usual, but Terril never let the pressure affect the customer experience. He stayed calm, kept the orders moving, and handled both patient and difficult customers with professionalism and respect.
Even with how hectic it was, he made sure everyone was taken care of and left satisfied. I'm not sure what his position is at the Silver Spring location, but he's definitely a huge asset to the team. Great customer service, a great attitude, and hard work like that doesn't go unnoticed. Hats off to Terrill for doing an amazing job. I'Il definitely be coming back!“

“The Chicken wings here at bbq Chicken and so scrumptious. They're consistently mouth watering and finger licking special. In particular is this the so with the honey garlic. The flavors and the cook are perfectly balanced. They're maybe a dollar more than say Wingstop, but oh man it's worth it and more. Can't go wrong with bbq Chicken.“

“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 .“

“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 😋“

“The food here was absolutely amazing.They had so many different options the chicken is, especially the best.It's pretty juicy chicken, with extremely crunchy.Outside the flavor is amazing.I'd recommend going a little bit harder than you think.It is the location is spectacular, as it's literally inside of a shopping center.They have super kind staff, and I truly mean it.I ask them for extra crunchy, and they with a smile made it.Which is such a kind gesture?I'm so thrilled by this amazing place.This i'm definitely coming back when I come to d c the next time.Love this place.And here's a photo of my sandwich or the nuggets“

“The combination between African and Portuguese is espectacular!“

“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“

“Food was good but they cheap with sauce. You bought 1 order of 1/2chicken w/2sides you get the same amount of sauce for 4 orders of 1/2 chicken. This is in Bowie Md location. I guess I am not coming back there again.“

“I forgot about how good this place was. I was in the area and decided to drive by to pick up dinner for my family. The Big chicken sandwich and the individual pieces of chicken were fresh and tasty. The sweet tea was great as well. Staff was polite too and the price for everything was very reasonable.“
