“The waffle were delicious!“

“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“

“I have not as of late not had the time to write! That being said, food is great, service outstanding. I would like to compliment cooks and staff!!! Also to remind people that Peruvian chicken is different style of prep!! So it is a different taste and prep. Big Ups to Campestre and staff!!!!“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“Our first visit and we were impressed!
Steven was friendly and welcoming, taking time to walk us through the menu and explain the specialties. The chicken sliders and the fries were delicious. Generous portions and great value.

We also loved the atmosphere especially the local murals featuring Leesburg Pike, which gave it a fun community vibe. Everything felt clean, lively, and well put together.

We’ll definitely be back and recommend Dave’s Hot Chicken to our local school for a potential spirit night fundraiser at Glen Forest Elementary.“

“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!“

“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“

“This chicken joint is really good. Their fries and their fry sauce is 100/10 to die for!!!!!! I got the chicken’s spicy level at the 2nd most hot and it was perfect if you love a spicy adventure. I wish I had a place like this back in Seattle. 치킨은 너무 맛있고 진짜 역대급이예요!“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“My experience in this establishment by far outstanding the food is delicious I will be glad to give them 5 stars I will definitely highly recommend to anyone who love to have great sandwich they have several locations,Melaku have great customer service skills & very nice friendly person thank you so much for the recommendation that was suggested by him!!!“

“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.“

“Tonight was our first time in your restaurant. Great experience start to finish. It was clean and organized. The staff was incredibly friendly to a person. The customer service was great. And most importantly the food was perfectly cooked and delicious! Well done! We’ll be back!“

“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.“

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

“Great service and very good food.“

“I've been to quite a few Nando's in the DMV, and this was definitely up there in quality of food and customer service. The employees were very nice, friendly, and helpful. Food was brought out to our table. They had a spot for us to wash our hands. They had nice silverware. Unlimited sauce. I had a buffalo flavored half chicken with cauliflower and garlic bread. All of it tasted flavorful. The chicken was seasoned on point. The garlic bread was perfectly toasty and crunchy, the best way to have it. Nice chill cozy atmosphere. The managers were helpful. Everyone seemed joyful...
Customers and employees. I had a wonderful time there. PEACE.“

“Muy ricos ., guarniciones deluxe 🤜🏼🤛🏼“

“The Establishment have great customer service, the atmosphere is great. The chicken was extremely salty. I thought it was me because I have hypertension, so I brought some to family members to taste the pieces that I didn't eat and I only bought three pieces. We agreed the flavor is amazing and it does taste like New York chicken, however again very salty. We are New Yorkers so we know what New York chicken tastes like. The sweet potato pie, give me flashbacks from my Bronx days at Kennedy chicken on Laconia lol the roll even taste like a NY roll.. hopefully this helps.“

“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“

“I would love to jion them again“

“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.“

“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.“

“There are many Popeyes locations around the world, but this one is the best I’ve ever visited, including those in Canada, South Korea, and the U.S.

The staff are always friendly and kind.
The atmosphere is always safe and joyful.
Most importantly, the chicken is always fresh.

Since discovering this place, I’ve stopped going to Korean chicken restaurants in the DMV area. Thank you to everyone here for saving my money, time, and soul.“

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

“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!“

“The combination between African and Portuguese is espectacular!“

“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 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 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.“

“Great customer service prices are good as well“

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

“Muy rico 😋 el pollo Popeyes“
