“Chicken and french toast brunch is amazing“

“Amazing elevated chicken. It's not just chicken, however. Oysters were superb. Salads (the scallion salad is an absolute delight) and all the sides are just superior. Little touches that seem whimsical but are just spot on - try the 24 carat nugget with caviar. Excellent star-studded champagne list; why not? Staff were just exceptional. Special shout out to the sommelier who came by and spent time even though we didn't buy a killer bottle of bubbly. We will return.“

“In todays economy, 15 bucks for half of a delicious roasted chicken, a side and a drink kind of feels like a steal. Fast and good service and very much appreciate the gloves they give you. The chicken is literally fall of the bone good. Highly recommend!“

“you think your grandma is in the kitchen. you really won't believe hiw good all the food is.“

“We’ve been obsessed with this place for the past couple months, the food is amazing I highly recommend it! The salito fries, cheesesteak and the mixed platters are my forever go to! If you’re ever close to this place please check it out!! ❤️“

“The spicy chicken biscuit omg toooooo die for so my husband and I saw many people entering this spot plus it was our first time. We heard mac and cheese, greens, and fried chicken. So we got a bucket of mixed chicken, two sides of Mac and cheese, and some collard greens (they make them with black eyed peas and tomatoes; totally different from any kind of greens I ever had and I definitely was left craving more. Nice little spot and such friendly people. Heading back very soon“

“Very nice Popeye's“

“A good spot for rotisserie chicken. It is almost Peruvian style but the their white and green sauces are not similar to the Peruvian ones. The green one is like a salsa verde and the white one is yogurt based. They each cost $3. The chicken definitely needs the sauces which should be included. The fries were really good. My favorite item was the Caesar salad. I think adding a chicken Caesar salad to menu, a quarter chicken option, and allowing the option to choose between dark meat vs white meat would be great additions to this place.“

“I went to Dave’s hot chicken I ordered my food didn’t look at it until I got home and got someone else order but I wouldn’t go back because it was a 30 minute drive was upset bout not getting what I paid for.“

“Mmmm 🤪Good..............🤨“

“Really good, i came and ordered 6 wings, unfortunately they weren't full wings but they were really tasty and had meat on them so i cant complain, probably the best wings i ever had. Highly recommend if you love wings. Also the cashier was kind enough to bring out the food to me while I was in my car, really appreciate that.“

Definitely, my first go to place for Chick-fil-A in a city“

“Love it hot and spicy nice“

“I just saw a sign for gamjatang (감자탕) at what looked like just a chicken wing spot. Honestly, I had zero expectations since it didn’t seem like a place that specializes in it but I was craving it so much that I gave it a shot.

Wow. The broth was light and clean, the meat tasted really fresh and not greasy at all, and the flavors were super well-balanced. The service was friendly, and it was $15. I went in with no expectations at all and walked out completely satisfied.“

“Delicious! Dine in was awesome!“

“Very friendly staff and excellent food“

“Got this as takeout and was impressed. The chicken and corn were the stars of the show. One piece of feedback for the restaurant is that the salsa verde is labeled incorrectly on the menu. After trying the time I realized it’s not salsa verde, it’s Chimichurri.“

“First time trying Dave's and I'll definitely be back! Great service and vibes at this location Daniela and Aiden were welcoming and helped me figure out what to order pretty quickly. Definitely recommend if you're in the area and looking for a quick, tasty bite.“

“😃Great food, The chicken is delish“

“My favorite chicken in New York City great spin on Indian Street food and the spice level can go off the chart on that big rowdy sandwich! What are you waiting for get your butt down here and have some of those delicious chicken!“

“The guy working the counter seemed sooooo detached, uninterested. Not rude, just really detached. The chicken was delicious though, not dry, crispy, juicy, flavorful and the slaw, pickle and sauce completed it. I would like to go back if I lived closer.“

“Absolutely delicious! Our first time trying and the food was amazing. Very flavorful and plated beautifully, even for take-out. We loved everything we tried and wish we ordered more! The staff were very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be a new neighborhood staple for us! Definitely give it a try.“

“Excellent service, very friendly,delicious food. My spot is in Staten Island ny, new Dorp location.“

“WOW 🤩 The quality of service will have you thinking where have you been my whole life! They go above and beyond. I went for a date night and had the all you can eat many which definitely was the best choice! We tried the Passion Fruit Caipirinha and the their pan de queso was to die for!

Definitely a great experience that I recommend! It’s a family oriented restaurant and a bruzilian good time.

Please remember to visit the salad bar and to check on my girl Andrea who’s the best hospitality manager ❤️

I’ll definitely come back“

“Food is always great but its been about 7 times that I have went and the fried chicken has run out, and it takes 15-20 minutes for it to cook. I feel like they need to better manage the timing. Once they see that the chicken on display is half gone, they should already start frying a new batch instead of waiting for the last min where there's less than 10 pieces for them to now start frying the new batch. Also they have a limit on breast they fried in each batch. So if the few pieces are gone, you will now have to wait for the new batch to fry and that can take over 45 mins, especially if they are not ready to fry a batch. Other than that, the food is great and the staff are also very friendly.“

“we just stopped by the Wake Forest location! London was our cashier, and she was so friendly!!! she was smiling as soon as we walked in! Will definitely come back!“

“Place was the bomb back when I went to Brooklyn Tech. Went off to college and now employed, but still return here for the quarter chicken, two ribs, side(the most okay stuff, rice n beans, mac, potatoes & salad are decent) and extra stopsauce!“

“I had a question why the payment on the app didn't have a cash option. and they went above and beyond to allow me to pay cash. Khuram and Bhumika were working and went above and behind to allow me to pay cash. Getting my order perfect. It was also during a snow storm so I give them credit for caring. When most people in food industry dont.“

“We need Jollibee here to build in Showlow Az“

“The crispy spicy with the elementary spicy is A1. Truffle fries one of the best around and great service“

“The amostsphere pretty fair and different. I didn't enjoy the cheese. The chicken sandwich was excellent very mild.

I came for a second time and Julie was phenomenal and professional. She made the experience worth while again. Keep up the good work.“

“I was in the Penn Station area today and had a craving for fried chicken. Initially, I was thinking about going to a certain Filipino fried chicken chain, but after checking the ratings, Pollo Camino came out on top. They’ve recently opened a new branch near Penn Station, but I ended up visiting their 8th Ave location instead — a small, single-storefront shop with a simple interior.

I ordered the fried chicken set for $9.99, which came with two pieces of chicken, a piece of bread, one side, and a drink for an extra $1.
• Drink: I went with their Horchata, made with peanuts and vanilla ,milk, without the cinnamon and rice I’m used to. It had a nice aroma, refreshing, and a bit different — in a good way.
• Side: I chose yuca fries, served in large sticks. The inside was dense than potato, with a lightly crisp exterior. Personally, I wasn’t a fan — I’d say skip this and go for another side.
• Fried Chicken: Lightly battered with a noticeable blend of spices and herbs. The meat was tender, while the skin wasn’t the super-crispy kind you’d get from those well-known Louisiana or Kentucky-style chains. Flavor was solid, but here’s an important tip — just like with many fried chicken places, don’t let it sit too long. Once it cools, the saltiness becomes much more pronounced.

Service gets a full 5 stars in the fast-food category — no self-service pick-up here, they bring your food right to the table.

Overall, Pollo Camino is worth trying if you’re around Penn Station. The price is fair, the chicken is flavorful, but choose your side wisely and eat it while it’s hot. Next time I’ll try a competitor for comparison, but for now, my top spot still belongs to Louisiana chain.“
