Human TripodMarch 10, 2013The food is amazing! Try the medium chicken, but also dare to try it hot. The flavors are phenomenal and take you back to a simpler, nostalgic era filled with friendly smiles and cheerful laughter.
Try Nandocas' Choice (Peri-Peri chicken breast topped w/ coleslaw b/w 2 slices of garlic bread). Sandwich comes w/ fries. So yummy!!! I recommend the mango- lime flavor.
AlharithOctober 16, 2019Order any 1/4 chicken with bone it’ll be amazing, I recommend you order paranaense sauce on the side.
D VolpApril 2, 2018My chicken was absolutely amazing with the red bliss potatoes & corn on the cob! sauces are delicious! Homemade chick peas are great too!! Feta salad was yummy too!
Samar HamdanMarch 5, 2015You must try this restaurant. Great for chicken lovers! Although it is an african restaurant but the Medetrian salad are exceptional specially with added halomi cheese- Decided to try something new and got the Chicken and Baby Kale Salad. It was delicious and had the yummy famous chicken #cleaneats
- The frozen yogurt only comes in chocolate...and it is amazing. Think Wendy's Frosty...just a bit more decadent in flavor. Get the fries...seasoned to perfection-not too salty. Yummy cheap eats!
Keely CarriganJanuary 26, 2017Note that this is partially a self-serve place. Be seated by the hostess, then order for yourself at the counter. Grab your own utensils and dressings, then sit and wait for your food. Hope this helps
Tori MetzgerDecember 10, 2016The fries and perinaise are the best. The chicken breast sandwich is also a really good alternative to just getting the chicken- Samar HamdanMarch 5, 2015Great costumer service, they forgot to give me my french fries with my online pick up order once but after i told them i got a voucher for a free meal. I was so happy :)
- The chips w Peri-naise mayo?! The sure shot! Oh and the chocolate spoon cake. Yum! Oh and the sangria too! Sangria Happy Hour until 6p.
Try the veggie burger with fries and a side salad. A very satisfying vegetarian meal. -M
Bryan SOctober 6, 2016Was told today they now only offer a military discount if you're in uniform. So...effectively the clothes you're wearing determine your price. Weird. Won't come here as often.
- Rotimi A. WilliamsAugust 6, 2014I'm quite partial to mango lime on my 1/2 chicken. Smashed peas and rice round out a solid dinner.
If you like spicy food but don't know whether to get medium or hot try the Hot! Makes me sweat and is sooo delicious!
The best meal consists of: 5 medium wings, Portuguese medley and garlic bread.
Lots of healthy options! Try the mango ice tea & chicken breast pita. Nutritional info is avail on their website.
Try the mashed potatoes or their "chips" french fries. Unbelievable! Great prices for a ton of food.
Patrick RoachNovember 11, 2013I honestly can't get enough of this place, and a few of the girls in here are cuuuuuuuuuuute!
The mango-lime sauce is the perfect mix of spicy and sweet.
Great food, horrible layout and ordering system. Come prepared.
Urgh... I never get the ordering process down...why do I get seated only to get back up to order? Not a full service or fast food restaurant...instead it's a frustrating hybrid. Good fries, though.
Michael MulcahyJuly 20, 2012The seating here is horrible. Some comfortable seating would be nice after a long day.
Деси СлаваJanuary 5, 2016Big disappointment. Chicken is ok. I think El Pollo Rico is much better taste and money wise.
Lidianne SalvatierraJune 14, 2014Se tivesse feijão seria perfeito. Galinha assada com gosto de galinha assada ( comida sem sabor do que vc tá comendo é especialidade dos EUA). Sem suco natural :/

PERi-PERi, also known as the African Bird's Eye Chili, is the key to our legendary, South African flame-grilled PERi-PERi chicken. We mix PERi-PERi with salt, garlic, lemon, onion, oil, and vinegar to make our signature sauce. Then we marinate our chicken in it for 24 hours. You choose the heat!
