    Son had a nearby baseball game and decided to drop in for a quick bite. Upon entry, we were greeted with a smile and placed an order for the Carne Asada plate. It comes with 3 hefty slides, which I got the fries, white rice, and rice and beans. The fries were crispy and fresh out of the fryer. The beef was tasty but was pretty dry and thin. The place was very clean with about 8 tables to dine-in. Parking was plentiful as it is a shared lot with the nearby businesses. Would be back if around the area. Enjoy!

    After considering the positive reviews, I decided to try the place. I ordered the Bistec a lo Pobre (beef) and opted for three sides: yuca, coleslaw, and plantain. The meat was well-cooked and flavorful, while the sides complemented the dish nicely. Additionally, the service was efficient, and the ambiance was clean. I look forward to returning to sample their renowned grilled chicken in the near future.

    -Price was a tad bit too much for the amount of food we had received. Fajitas barely had any meat in them. -Tres Leches was too sweet. Restaurant appeared to be a takeout place mostly. Food was being prepared fresh. Rotisserie had chicken cooking for the evening rush. Fried Yucca was delicious! If not anything else, get the Yucca from here!

    One of my favorite Peruvian chicken places. Service is good, Ambiance is casual. The food is always delicious.

    1/4 chicken dark with yuca. The yuca spot on, hot and crunchy not overpowered with salt. The chicken grilled but missing the flavors I am used to for Peruvian. So-so at best. Wash your hands please after you eat corn on the cob while walking around mama. The experience was more like street food with chairs. Just OK. Brush up on the Spanish, Englishis not their thing but I would hope for more flair in their food. Bathroom were clean. Family members were a little loud blaring their phones while sitting at tables. I gave it a try... 2.5

    Saw this pollo place as it was preparing to open, and gave it a try as it finally opened! Went to pick up dinner on a Sunday and there wasn't a line. With that said, the chicken wasn't quite as fresh/hot as we're used to eating. In fact, the meat was a little mushy, but the skin was cooked really well - perfectly crispy. There were no ovens on at all and all chicken available was already cooked and sitting in the warmer. We picked a couple sides including yucca and salad. The salad was not a good choice - iceberg lettuce that wasn't in the best shape. There are 3 sauce choices including their house made sauce - all were good. We'd probably try again, but maybe at a busier time so the chicken is more fresh.

    Just came back from Peru and wanted some more chicken. Saw good reviews from this place and decided to give it a go. The chicken was fantastic, well seasoned and cooked. Nice smoky flavor and meat fell right off the bone. Wish it came with some more sauce but still a quality meal. Service and vibe of the place was good as it looked like a family style place

    This new restaurant has really upped the chicken game. Awesome food, great ambience, reasonable prices, & friendly staff. Their chicken marinate is the bomb. For the sides, I tried beans and fries the first time and yucca and rice the second time. Loved it. Definitely go for the sauces too. Highly recommended.

    A year ago I left a 1-star review and walked out due to what I saw as poor management of services…read more I'm glad I decided to give Freddy's a second try because I had nothing except a pleasant experience this time. I came by and ordered dine-in. Got a double burger meal with chili cheese fries. All made fast and efficient. The front counter was also friendly as well. And the place was quite clean for a fast-food burger place. Anyway, the burger was smash-style and the chil-cheese added greatly to the fries. I'm not a big fan of shoestring fries but the chili and cheese made it quite delicious. Overall, for fast-food burgers, it was above-average quality and I would gladly come back again for the food. I have yet to try their custard but I will need to do so next time. I'm giving this 4 stars, but in reality this is closer to 4.5 stars.

    Freddies burgers are on my top list of 2 burger-places; tried many. I order my burgers "messy" and…read moreFreddies accommodates. Portions for condiments is unhealthy at my request :). I add to the burger everything and it and the meat spill over. I hate punny tiny burgers especially when overpriced. When I ask for water instead of the soft drink, they give me a normal sized cup, not a plastic clear thimble - thanks. Like the Pepsi brand cokes but wish there were more diet options. Price is competitive, but less than the "fashionista burgers." WiFi is functional and dependable. Place is clean and staff keeps it that way. Staff is friendly and patrons are having fun but courteous. Not a boring place. Place is open and with lots of windows, not a dark cave. Cheery and pleasant. Not a fan of their super-skinny fries; normal "Five Guys-like" fries should be the standard. Restaurant offers a free burger coupon to Veterans-on-Veterans Day. The quality of the messy burger, the WiFi, the bright clean atmosphere, the reasonable price, options for ice cream, Diet Pepsi, all keep me coming back and back. 1

    Dave's Hot Chicken in Fairfax delivered a fantastic family meal with their Nashville-style hot…read morechicken sliders, Oreo milkshake, and fries. We tried sliders in mild, medium, extra hot, and Reaper levels, and everything tasted fresh and flavorful-the chicken was juicy, the fries crispy, and the Oreo shake creamy and delicious. The mild, medium, and extra hot hit the perfect balance of spice for most of us, building just enough heat without overwhelming. The Reaper slider, however, was intensely spicy-none of us, including my husband and kids, could handle it, living up to its Carolina Reaper reputation. Despite that one extreme option, the overall quality and variety made it a hit, and we'll return for the milder choices and sides. Super recommend for spice adventurers (just skip the Reaper unless you're prepared)!

There are only 2 chicken strips and fries and you can't even order a 3 or 4 piece meal because it's not offered ON THE MENU and to add on an extra strip is like $6...INSANITY! Also, the mozzarella is good..but very greasy.....they serve it on top of bread slices to absorb the grease but if you bite into these when you 1st get them, be prepared for a mouth full of oil. Hopefully Noone will get burned from that either.. We'll just keep taking our business to Wing Stop..more bang for my buck, and the food just tastes way better!!

    I suppose I should have realized, considering there were 11 very pissy, famished male customers in…read morefront of me, upon realizing that I also was starving and not in a great mood, that we were actually re-enacting the movie "12 Hangry Men." There haven't been a lot of very good hot chicken places I've tried. It's a nice concept, but as with everything that takes over the scene like wildfire, and erupts like Mount Etna once did on sicily, hot chicken is often imitated, but very seldom actually perfected. You can find some great versions in Nashville, and here and there around the country, but I'd say 95% are hipster, overpriced, not too special. Very much chain food these days. Along those lines, Hangry Joe's is definitely a chain, not too personal, not too much that separates it from the rest, but still worth a try if you are a fan of this type of food. I've definitely had worse (looking at you Dave's), but it didn't make me run back for more, and I thought Crimson Coward was a little better. Give it a try and decide for yourself! And if you want to go here on a date with me, maybe I'll Hang-ry out with you for a bit and get some hot chicken.

Props to this and the other locations, as this chain seems to be doing quite well. First off kudos on the chicken fingers, as they have a lime/avocado marinade taste that's delicious. The quality and marinade cannot be disputed. Savor the flavor. This is revolutionary tasting chicken, and the way it falls off, is proof of quality. Fries are not what they used to be. Servings size is skimpy. When you're paying $15 and a tip, these need to be upgraded on both counts please. The biggest disappointment is the toast. Got the heel piece, of white bread last night. When competitors offer Texas toasts that exemplify excellence, this heel of white bread from what appears to be the grocery store, ugh. Thank you to the really nice employees. They are all friendly. Turn around time was good too. This is a very clean location. Definitely like it here, as the ambiance is pretty sweet. Yet my hope is that I write this review honestly, and want them to be back to better. Good spot but that amount of fries and white bread, let's see a turnaround in those aspects.
