The best slow roasted chicken in town. You can't beat the sauces, the service is excellent, and don't forget the cookie!

John Gorham's entry into the burgeoning Portland rotisserie chicken scene.Like his other awesome places (Toro Bravo, Tasty & Alder, Tasty & Sons, Shalom Y'all), John perfects the signature dish - smoky (more so than Pollo Norte), moist, and delicious. The skin has a great rub cooked into it, but I would like it to be a bit crispier! Served with a very nice and spicy dipping sauce. Pine St Market has so many awesome good options, add great chicken to the list! read more

This place was in the cutest little market square, that i seriously feel every city should have!! Multiple restaurants in one area, all an eclectic mix! We only chose to sit here since a bar spot was open! I am super glad we did though. We ordered Bloody Mary's to start, they were so delicious. Not super tomatoey, and the perfect amount of spicy!! We ended up ordering another round of bloodys along with an appetizer. We got the Cod Nuggets and they were super good. The waiter described them as pillows and that's exactly what they were!! The perfect small bite! The waiter/bartender was so friendly as well, we told him we were from out of state and recommended some places to go! He was very attentive and professional! The bar area and surrounding tables were full, super clean and just awesome! The next time we go to Portland, we will most definitely be back!! read more

Delicious chicken, well-prepared vegetable sides and salads. Very high quality overall.

Okay not bad! The winner winner chicken dinner was really good! The salad just divine. I also got the roasted cauliflower with the green goddess sauce and I probably devoured that in less than 5 minutes. By far one of my favorite dishes. Oh how can I forget the rotisserie pork sandwich with the mouth watering fire manchego cheese crisp right in the middle of the sandwich slathered with Romesco sauce!!! Great flavor and great to share! The potato bravas was very good, but I would suggest to order the sauces on the side since my potatoes were swimming in it. However it was good as usual. Not fond of their version of Bloody Mary, but hey others really dig it! Overall, it was a great experience. The chicken is flavorful and definitely juicy. And the radicchio salad had to be my favorite!! read more

Great burgers, pork sandwich, & radicchio salad. I now crave the salad, it's that good!

Excellent food and service. I sat at the bar and enjoyed some beautiful small plates, the burger was very good, but actually everything we had,including simple potatoes, was delicious. Would definitely come back. It is inside a vibrant hall full of other restaurants and you can eat either at the bar or at one of common communal tables. The complimentary snack made if unpopped but fried corn was read more

We got this for take out recently and it was delicious. The chicken was moist and flavorful. All the dips are delicious and go with everything perfectly. The chips are the perfect snack with your meal. We also really enjoyed the cauliflower. Would highly recommend this place! read more

This 5 star rating goes for their happy hour. Next time I will try the food, but the drinks and price alone makes this place a must visit if you're here from 9-close at pine street market. $2 draft beers?! Where else can you get this deal anywhere? They also have $6 cocktails too, but those $2 beers are calling me back again and again. read more

Who knew rotisserie chicken could be so good? We got the Familia dinner. It was so much food; well worth the price. I love that they carry CBD sodas. We will be back! read more

Whoa!!! The bocadillo de lomo....!!! My boyfriend is from Spain and he said it's the best lomo queso he have tried... We order one to try but it was sooooo amazing that we went back to get another one. Also, we will come again for it tomorrow before fly back Cali haha :) read more

Pollo Bravo - Amazinggggggg - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Note to self: Never get the Basque Brooklyn cocktail on happy hour again. The majority of the drink came from a pre-mix which meant I couldn't tell how much bourbon went into it. Sure enough I could *barely* taste any whiskey at all. The drink otherwise also had no defining quality. Probably the worst cocktail I've had in the last 2-3 years. Stick to the draft beers. read more

I had a quarter chicken, the roasted cauliflower, and the garlic shrimp. Everything was absolutely amazing - seriously, so good! The service was also very friendly and fast. The food was brought to our table in just a few minutes. All in all, it was a very very pleasurable experience. There are a couple nice pubs within a few feet to finish off the night, too. read more

This place has the best chicken and romesco sauce. Their appetizers are amazing also.

After my first visit to Pine Street Market, I knew the next time I went I'd have to go to Pollo Bravo. What could be better than chicken and dipping sauces? Last night, I got to try it. I ordered a quarter bird and their asparagus dish. I couldn't decide on just one sauce so I got the garlic mayo and the hot sauce. I'm really all about my sauces, so I definitely dipped in both of them! The combination of the two was absolutely perfect. The chicken itself was so simple but so delicious. Now on to this asparagus... it was a little overcooked BUT... it came in this amazing, creamy, yummy orange sauce. I was over halfway through it when I questioned what the sauce even was (no, I didn't read the description on the menu, I just saw asparagus and jumped at it) - but I could not get enough! It was so great! My boyfriend tasted it and goes "that's a red pepper sauce" and I thought to myself, no it can't be... I hate red peppers! So in addition to having amazing chicken, tasty vegetables, and good drinks... they have made me fall in love with red peppers, which I previously would have stayed away from at all costs. Thank you, Pollo Bravo. read more

This has to be one of my favorite restaurants in a city of amazing places to eat. The romesco sauce alone is worth the drive. Seriously good eats! read more

Chicken was great, probably some of the most flavorful and moist I've ever had! It came out very quickly, as I was the only one there before the lunch rush. My complaint that is SO basic but always annoying; butter came out frozen with my bread, there was no spreading possible so I boxed it for later, bummer but whatever. Service was friendly, if a little inattentive. Prices were fine, drink options were good, and Ablis CBD drinks across the way were a perfect compliment. read more

Great spot for a quick yummy bite . Very quick attentive bartender/waitress and the cook Chicken and Serrano Ham Croquettes , Rotisserie Cauliflower Garlic Prawns "gambas al ajillo read more

This place is great. Yummy chicken place with Spanish flavors. Such a great concept. We ordered the Familia dinner (whole chicken, potatoes bravas and radicchio salad) was more than enough for 3 people with some leftover. We did order a side of the cauliflower with green goddess dressing too. So good. I'm just sorry I'm discovering this a few weeks before moving out of the neighborhood. This is the perfect place to stop when you want to grab something quick to feed the family. My 7 year old loved it too! read more

Had the quarter chicken w/the house spicy sauce and a cider. It was very tasty. Plenty of chicken that tasted delicious. The dark meat of the chicken was tender and moist. The white meat of the chicken was a little dry but the dipping sauce made up for that. I would have ordered a side but it became way too spendy to do that. I figured I'd save $8 and just get a small item at another spot within the vicinity. The staff was nice and helpful. Eating at the bar was a cool option. Overall, I'd say it's a bit spendy for chicken but worth trying. read more

Wow... Best roast chicken I have ever eaten. We were at Pine St. for some ice cream after a great dinner at Trifecta Tavern across the river but when I saw that this was where Pollo Bravo was I had to do a "bang bang" and give it a try. I'm glad I did... it was awesome. I cant wait to go back and eat here again when I am actually hungry. read more

Since we don't have El pollo loco in Oregon I'll settle for Pollo Bravo. Same great tasty food and a bit spendy but not bad. The Paloma drink was just perfect... I love the server Palomas ;) they atmosphere was cool. I mean hip and sick! read more

Good flavors on the chicken and a pretty healthy option for the market. The potato tapas were not stellar but good enough. I wasn't a fan of the sauce it was doused in. read more

I stopped in to pine street market for a quick lunch and had to try something from every place because they all looked so good! If cauliflower is on a menu, I order it...and this cauli did not disappoint. It was perfectly roasted and served over green goddess dressing and a little chili oil for kick. I am still dreaming about this beautifully roasted cauli and need to try to recreate it at home, YUM! read more

Pollo Bravo - Rotisserie cauliflower over green goddess dressing and chili oil - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Yum! Ordered takeout during covid times and it was excellent. Looking forward to visiting the restaurant once things are back to normal.

Came here in a whim while visiting Portland. Chicken is what they do best. I was really impressed with the juicy quarter chicken I got for lunch. Evenly browned to the perfect level of crunch in the skin. read more

Great chicken + sauces, gluten-free friendly and will make modifications to the salad and other sides to be GF. There are a few rotisserie chicken places in PDX and I'll say that while Pollo Bravo is good, it wouldn't be my first choice to satisfy a chicken craving. read more

Yelp map puts this place a block or two north of actual location, it's in pine st market. Juicy chicken, superb sauce selection (if you get the broth, helpful to break the chicken up a bit and let it soak in the broth for a min, green goddess is refreshing and lightly ranchy, romesco is orange magic--pleasantly spicy & a hint of smoke), pretty solid burger and pleased with every small plate we had. Pretty decent drinks too. read more

Delicious! We got half a chicken and the potatoes. My husband and I shared and it was enough. The dipping sauces were great and we both really enjoyed our drinks! Also, if was very clean and very fast! read more

This is probably my favorite chicken roasterie in town. It's not much of a splurge; happy hours prices are crazy cheap, with the best quarter bird in town for only five dollars, so if you're looking for a deal, this is the place to do it. Our friend, Tom, was able to give us some great guidance, and suggested some great pairings of beers and birds, which was an amazing idea (hazy IPA is perfect with romesco sauce). Everything I've said is 100% true and then some! Obviously the chicken is the main event, and every time we dive into one it's top-notch -- juicy and perfectly cooked. Don't skip the potato chips -- the house-made crisps are out-of-this-world good, so save room on your chicken dinner! Thanks for the great meal! read more

Winner winner chicken dinner. They get bonus points for an awesome name for their signature dish. The radicchio salad was good, had a taste of bitterness, crunch from the croutons, and a sweet vinegar dressing over it. I thought it paired very well with the chicken. I chose the garlic aioli sauce and it was thick, garlicky, and was overall tasty. The chicken was good but not super flavorful. It seemed to be slightly dry in the breast meat. I also ordered a Boneyard RPM IPA which I always enjoy. Very cool decor and overall satisfying. read more

Delish. Everything. The chicken is perfectly spiced, the flavors of the radicchio salad are so well balanced, and the cheesecake!!! The cheesecake!!!!Light, fluffy, and not overly sweet with a delicious slightly burned top. Everything melds together so beautifully. I am so happy this place is close to where I live. I love being spoiled. read more

I met a colleague here for lunch. At noon. Wow this place is packed! We found two open seats at Pollo Bravo and decided to try it. Friendly attentive bar service. We were going to order a few things to share but then saw the folks near us get the "winner winner chicken dinner" and decided that was going to be easy and looked very comforting on this cold wintery day. I was impressed with the flavor- was not over cooked at all. It when I dipped it in my garlic broth sauce POW that was the winning winning combo! The salad was delicious too. For 10$ I thought it was a great deal - plus I didn't finish it all so a snack for later will be enjoyed. I'm looking forward to trying more of their menu. Next time I will go earlier or later to miss the peak lunch hour -- but something tells me this spot might be hoppin' all day long. read more

The chicken dinner was more the enough for 4 people. The salad was really good. I loved the potatoes and the lemon garlic sauce on them was great for dipping the chicken in. read more

What a nice addition to the neighborhood. My wife and I had a rare date night and had heard they were opening that week. We went on a Saturday. I knew walking in that this was run by great people. Beautiful space and friendly staff. Love seeing the rotisserie chickens cooking in the kitchen as you walk in. Order at the counter. Found a nice seat. We got a half chicken with sauces, side of potatoes and a broccolini starter. A couple delish cocktails. We hoped for good, but we were blown away by the quality of everything. The chicken itself was perfect but the standout for me was the hot sauce. OMG. I thought it was going to be some red pepper sauce but instead it was more of a brothy dipping sauce that seemed quite thin. But it was frickin' perfect with the chicken. Lightly coating it and just making everything better, so much flavor, enhancing the chicken not covering up any of the flavors from the bird. On a return visit (oh we will be here a lot) the owner showed me his fermentation room where they make the hot sauce that takes weeks and then the cider press they use to get all the goodness out. So when I'm telling you about the care going into that tiny cup of sauce that still lasted the whole meal, believe me it was great. New places always have bumps. But I'm excited to see this place do well. Welcome Pollo Bravo, welcome. read more

One of our go-to places when we're in Portland! We usually dine-in but this last time we had to order take-out due to COVID. Still the same great service we're used to and it was ready super quick (around a 10 minute wait on a Friday night). We usually get a quarter bird (green goddess and garlic mayo sauce are must-haves) and the patatas bravas. Can't wait to come back when we're able to dine-in again! read more

Yummy food, fast service! Easy for a group of 5 to order what we wanted. The potatoes were yummy and so was the chicken. The atmosphere of the mixed restaurants was cool too. read more

Just took an impromptu trip here with my partner and toddler. I wouldn't classify it as a kid place and yet it was totally kid friendly. Food is fabulous and ready fast, outdoor seating that is enclosed to prevent pet (or in our case kid) escape. Friendly staff. Clean place. Again - fabulous food. My partner said it was the best burger he had ever had. My kid actually tried and liked the chicken and potatoes bravas. And to sweeten the deal - their chocolate chip almond cookies were mouth watering. We will definitely be coming back! read more
