    summary: Don Pollo is a "chain" restaurant of Peruvian chicken and it's got generous portion sizes and tasty side options that are pretty synonymous with Peruvian chicken restaurants. In one word, I would describe Don Pollo as solid. There's a good selection of items on the menu and to me Peruvian chicken spots have become kind of similar to how KFC/Popeyes felt back in the day where families could go in and order a platter-style selection for their family. That's what we happened to do that day where we ordered the rotisserie chicken for a family of 4. The portion sizes were generous and all of the sides (plaintains, fries, salad, and mac&cheese) were tasty. The service is pretty "DIY" where you order with a cashier and everything at that point is on you (bus your own tables). The venue itself was ok. The location is tucked away in a pretty old strip mall and a lot of the restaurant kind of reflects that. The bathrooms felt a bit old and required a passcode to get in. All in all, I don't have complaints for our experience here and it was a tasty stop that was perfect for a family.

    Food was made well and served hot! I had a pleasant experience. Location was clean. The person taking my order was kind and helpful with any questions I had.

    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.

    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

    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.

    I came for the fried chicken but fell in love with the BBQ!!! Actually it was all delivered but you…read moreknow what I mean. I'll get the only fail out of the way. The Chicken tenders weren't tender and the coating was over-salted. The full rack of BBQ Pork ribs was a winner, tender and meaty with great flavor. The Slow-smoked Chicken is delicious and a nice, moist change from the usual chicken treatments. The Smoked Chicken Wings were great too. I wouldn't get the Texas Beef Brisket or the Carolina Pulled Pork again, but they weren't bad, just lots of other choices that were better! The sides here are stand-outs too. I almost didn't get the vegetarian Collard Greens since I love collards cooked with meat but these were delicious -- they never made it to the microwave, they were so vinegary-good when I sampled them cold lol! The Mac & Cheese was good and cheesy. The baked beans were good but again vegetarian where I'd prefer meat included and I didn't care for the sweet sauce. The Skillet Cornbread is the best I've had, slightly sweet with a good corn flavor that made me decide to buy a WHOLE skillet rather than just the generously portioned slice next time, especially since it's such a good value. I do regret not trying the coleslaw and potato salad so again, next time. The little rolls are tasty too, moist and slightly sweet but it's a pity they aren't burger-size so you can make a sandwich with all that delicious meat and sides.

    Had the legendary spicy chicken and it was delicious, hot, and huge with a thick crusted coating…read more In addition to the collard greens with a garlicky and apple cider vinegar hint. I don't recall any meat in the greens. And, the Mac and cheese, I enjoyed the texture, but wish the flavor profile had sharp cheddar cheese, but it was still good. Making my way through the list of things worth trying so far --the visit score is 2 & 0!

    I had braces and one of the first foods I craved when I got them off was wings. I found SS Wings…read morethrough a Yelp search and placed an order for delivery easily through their website. I was impressed with the variety of sauces and dry rubs. We got the 24 traditional, which allows you up to three sauces. We had to try the traditional buffalo, which was excellent-buttery, spicy, and luscious! I've eaten a LOT of Buffalo wings in my time and these might be the best! We also loved the garlic Parmesan. I didn't taste much garlic but there was plenty of Parmesan on the perfectly-cooked wings. My husband's favorite of the three was the Sweet Thai chili wings. I loved them, too! We also ordered a regular size of their potato wedges, which was perfect for the two of us. We really liked the seasoning and my husband called them "outstanding," which is very high praise for him! The delivery experience was good, with updates being texted to my phone. I think they use DoorDash - kudos to the driver who found my building without any problems. Note: the food was hot and perfect when it arrived. It truly was a wonderful meal and I wish we had found SS Wings sooner! It will now be our go-to wing place!

    Overall 3.5* Decent grub and definitely willing to come back and try more items from the menu…read more What we got: Original Nashville (heatwave) - 3.5* good chicken, decent flavour. The spice is a powdered seasoning that they add to the chicken. Waffle fries (large) - 3.*5 my partner liked them more than I did but still decent fries. Probably wouldn't get the large again and just stick with the medium.

    Solid fried chicken and fries! I was a bit skeptical of this place given some reviews I saw online…read morebut I think my positive experience came down to what to order. This is a really chicken spot (even though they have burgers) so you're kind of doing a disservice not getting chicken. I ordered a chicken sandwich meal, that came with fries and a drink for $12. Great deal. It was a bit busy so we waited a bit but when the food came it was piping hot! It also comes with their signature sauce and the garlic pepper sauce. I didn't love the signature sauce but the garlic pepper sauce is like crack, I poured it all over my sandwich and the fries. It was a really solid sandwich. The only downside was the seating inside isn't great. There are a few high top seats near the door and another table with chairs toward the back. It felt a little cramped no matter where you sat. It's definitely more of a grab and go vibe, but the seating would be fine if it was an off time of day. But that won't stop me, I'd definitely go back!
