    Chicken stew with rice and salad.
    Kwame S.

    Pretty standard spot. I stopped by Don Pollo after an intense workout at a nearby gym, and I was very impressed with the various chicken items on Don Pollo's menu. For my first visit, I went with a standard chicken stew. The stew was very delicious. OMG, the chicken was so juicy, tender, and perfectly seasoned. The price of my stew, which came with rice and a small salad was about $13. I thought the price was fair for the area. I thought the restaurant was well-maintained, and it was pretty clean. Also, the service was pretty on point. Well, the service pretty much involves ordering your food at the counter, and waiting for someone to call your number when the food is ready for pick up. Since there are a lot of Latinos who visit this spot, they may call your number in Spanish. Overall, this was a pretty decent spot, and I have a feeling that I probably will visit again after an intense workout.

    1/4 Dark Chicken with 2 Sides
    Ketsanee P.

    I can't complain anything about their rotisserie chicken, it was nice flavor. The portion and price was ok. Don Pollo of Glenmont, it is located in Glenmont Shopping Center, where is quite old plaza in this area. If you look from outside, you might feel worry the condition of the restaurant but I was surprised a little when I got inside, their dining room is spacious, clean, and comfortable. Also a plenty of free outdoor parking lot is available. Anyway, the reason why I didn't give them 5 stars because this was my first time to try them and I got the wrong item right away! Even worse the one they gave me wrong I don't like it at all. (if something that I can eat, that might be fine) p.s. I ordered 1/4 dark chicken with 2 sides - mac&cheese/plaintain but I got salad instead of mac&cheese. Salad is never my favorite, so I had to trash it. p.s. I ordered for pick up via UbeEat app. After this happened, I let the app. know about my issue and they refunded me for only the wrong item. Not that bad.

    1/2 Chicken with 2 Sides (black beans & rice, potato salad)

    I ordered a half chicken with two sides. The potato salad and beans were somewhat bland. Neither side had very much flavor. I wasn't very impressed with either of them. However, the chicken is more than outstanding. It was tender and falls off the bone. The flavor explodes into your taste buds. Colonel Sanders of KFC fame uses 11 secret herbs, and spices. I don't think Don Pollo stops short of 25. I recommend eating here. The side dishes are not much to talk about, but the chicken is easily in my top five.

    Dark meat, mash potatoes, and yucca fries
    Chris D.

    Really good above-average chicken joint. Their green sauce isn't as spicy and the chicken for the most part is well seasoned but slightly on the top-much salt side... but sall good cause Jesus is taking the wheel... but that's my minor complaint. Their mash potatoes are excellent and while I normally don't like yucca fries... theirs is pretty good. Unless that was a regular stake fry I ate. Nope... it was a yucca fry. I stand by my previous assessment. Their food is awesome. They're also pretty friendly and the service is very quick.

    1/4 chicken stew over rice with green salad.

    I visited Don Pollos at this location on the day of their Grand Opening a few years ago. There was a good crowd. I tried several of their dishes and I thought it was just okay. I had a rotisserie chicken dish and sides with dessert. A year later, I had a pulled chicken dish which i thought was okay as well. In both cases the chicken was moist, it was something about the flavor that seemed off. I went today to grab lunch before getting on the road. I noticed two new items, too me anyway, the chicken stew and lightly battered fish with onions and veggies on top. I decided to stick with the chicken. I went with the stewed chicken, rice, and salad for $8.95. You get a quarter chicken with the mean. The stew has a great flavor and nice chunks of carrots and potatoes. The rice was okay. It was just regular rice. I probably would have used a different rice like wild or jazmine. Salad is salad, as long as it is green and fresh, you cant go wrong. The restaurant is nice and clean and they have other dishes on the menu. Because of this trip, I am likely to go back again. Bon Apetit.

    Compact location. Service was quick and efficient. Maybe it was a fluke but stay away from the super salty cucumber salad! On the plus side, chicken and arroz chaufa wasn't overly greasy like I'm used at the Rockville location.

    Left in the warmer a bit too long for consumption, yet still sold it.

That's pretty reasonable. Every dish was well prepared and nicely flavored. No mushy vegetables here. Yucca fries: not greasy, nice and crispy. Good with any of their dipping sauces. Fried rice: very tasty dish with hints of chicken. Black beans, really tender and nicely flavored. Broccoli: super delicious super food, done perfectly, not mushy and just the right amount of crunch. Green beans: such an easy dish and they nailed it. Plantains: who doesn't like a good fried plantain? These were awesome! And the cookie is a sweet deal too. Go for it. I wasn't surprised to see a large number of to go orders at their pick up desk. The word is out on how great their food is here. Plenty of parking in their private lot on Baltimore road.

    I have always preferred this location. Results across locations has been inconsistent for years…read more This time in Beltsville I ordered two have chicken white. The guy who preps the chicken didn't hear me? Giving me only one half chicken white. Manager fixed things but it did mess up their process a bit. I had to make sure I got the correct second meal. The chicken was great. Moist just the way we like it. The string beans were not cooked properly even though they looked good. This happens too often. The sauces. First, we just don't get enough sauces as part of the meal. Second, I was making sure I got enough sauces this time and ordered my usual types. Apparently, yellow sauce is now considered to be honey mustard. I did get some of the great tasting amerillo sauce but also got honey mustard which elsewhere is usually just fine. This honey mustard is awful. Trying to be like everyone else is not what made Sardis a success. If you must have honey mustard sauce go get a batch from McDonalds or some other fast food in the area. It will taste better. Was not happy with this visit. Given how high the prices have gotten Sardis can't afford to go down hill any further. I'm sure I'll go back sometime. Hoping things get better. Three stars cause the chicken was great.

    My family has eaten here several times. The chicken is better than average, although at times it…read moretends to be a bit dry and greasy at the same time (it's really hard to explain). They have a wide array of sides, including plantain, fried yucca, several vegetable selections, and a variety of drinks. There are also other main dishes like bbq ribs. You generally get good-sized portions, and their sauces are pretty tasty. Decent value for your money. The downsides: this place is a chain- it's a vacant owner operation, so the staff is never too friendly, and the place could be cleaner than it usually is. Atmosphere isn't exactly great either- I suggest you get your food and take it home, fighting traffic all the way to enter/exit the strip shopping center where this eatery is located. I give it four stars: good chicken, great variety, meh on service and atmosphere. Try it out for take-out- I think you'll like it.

I was there around 3 pm. It was not busy as it was post lunch hour. I ordered quarter dark chicken with side of fried rice and yuka fries. The chicken was so tender and flavorful. Fall off the bones and very delicious. I loved the nicely roasted chicken skin as well. Fried rice was good. I have had better fried rice at other places. Yuka fried with their green spicy sauce went really well. Nice and crispy. Ambiance is alright. It's a self serve place like most of the other Peruvian restaurants. Plenty of parking space.
