“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!“

“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“

“Buena calidad súper rico y muy buen servicio“

“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.“

“The hot chicken sandwich was delicious. Perfect flavors and heat. The fries were cooked perfectly.

The interior of the building is all hard surfaces and the sound echoes loudly off of everything. The music was loud, even though it was music that I like, and it just made the noise level worse. Metal chairs scraping on concrete floors were awful. The air conditioning was set so cold that our meals got cold quickly. I’m having trouble typing this as my hands are so cold. I’m freezing.“

“I was a bit of a skeptic at first before trying Dave’s. But since they launched the X-men meal - I figured I’d give them a shot. I’m so glad I did. Hands down one of the freshest and best tasting hot chicken sandwiches I’ve had. The fries are also crispy and well seasoned. The service, particularly from Alex at the Arlington location was top notch. I’ll definitely be back. Thanks for a great meal!“

“All around DC and Maryland, I see masks, and many wear them, Dave's is real, to be fair then, they are the realest, the chicken is everything.

I order 2 cause ones not enough, I dip my fries and then I stuff, Dave's sauce is from outer space, and upon first taste, it brings a smile to my face. I Thank you Dave's.“

“Five stars. What sets Anthology apart is the people.

From the leasing office to the concierge desk to the maintenance and facilities teams, everyone treats you like family. They care, and it shows in the small things: a warm welcome when you walk in, a quick response when something needs fixing, and the sense that you are known, not just another resident. Great people make this place feel like home.

The apartment itself is beautiful. The industrial aesthetic gives the space real character without feeling cold. My view of the Capitol is amazing, and the location could not be better. I am moments from H Street, Union Station, and Union Market, so restaurants, transit, and the rest of the neighborhood are right outside the door.

Wonderful location, wonderful staff, and a place I could not recommend enough.“

“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!!!“

“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“

“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.“

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

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

“A must go to, at least once. I got a meal with spicy chicken, spaghetti, a mango drink, and an ube pie. The ube pie was one of the best fast food desserts I’ve had. Crispy, airy outside with a hot, sweet, ube rich filling. The spaghetti has a seeet tang and was delightfully unique. The chicken definitely competes with some of the best like Popeyes. Only complaint is that it’s a bit pricey for fast food chicken.“

“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“

“Ordering was super easy, and the food variety is amazing! I ordered BBQ and pasta, and I love that there’s something for everyone. The variety makes it a great choice for groups with different tastes, so everyone can find something they’ll enjoy. Everything was convenient and easy to order. Highly recommend!“

“I was feeling home sick, I seen NY sigh and wanted to try and I'm so happy I did. If you from New York then you know Kenny chicken and it tastes just like it, omg. If know, know lol. Such amazing customer service on top of great food. I will be back.“

“hi I just wanted to write a quick review about this place the people working here are amazing so kind patient and nice its my go to place I get the mix fajita its the bomb and other times I get fried chicken basically fried stuff make sure to check out.“

“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.“

“The manager John at this location is a 10/10. We can’t thank him enough for his kindness and for making us feel how we did. His entire team was warm, polite and made us feel welcome- especially Michael who first took our order. He even made me a special coffee for my long trip post meal. The whole team Pitched in to help us find our son’s missing stuffed animal and while we didn’t find it, the effort put in was tremendous. We are unsure if someone in the community picked up a small stuffed black cat at this location but we are offering a reward if anyone did and can mail it to us. My 2.5 year old son adores this stuffed animal and is so sad it’s missing. The store has our information/you can message me here if you have any information. Thank you to anyone and everyone in advance and especially the team at Chick-fil-A for making a difference in our day.“

“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.“
