    8pc fried  8 Pieces - Chicken Only with bbq sauce and ranch sauce
    Ahmad W.

    I tried this place for the first time like a week ago. I was busy and didn't have time to post. I got a 8pc chicken only they charge like Popeyes prices. The chicken tastes alright. I got the fried chicken just to see what it is all about. I probably should have got the grilled chicken.

    I just received an Uber Eats order, paid extra for white meat and received a thigh and drumstick. Dark meat it too greasy for me and I haven't eaten any since I was a child, this the food is going in the trash. I can only eat the rice and the roll that supposedly came with the meal wasn't there either. I try to patronize places but it is sad that they can't get basic orders right. It is not like I ordered a bunch of food. Waste of money and time. Now I have to go cook dinner after waiting an hour for the delivery. Thanks for absolutely nothing.

    I've never noticed this restaurant in my life. But when Pollo Campero was pointed out to me, I was pretty excited to try a new kind of fried chicken. We got here at 12:20ish and the place was PACKED. There was no where to sit after we ordered, so we prayed that we would get a seat after our food came. There was no such thing. However, a cashier noticed that we had no seat and made sure we had a seat right away. Even with her broken English, we could communicate in our universal language of food. She wiped down our table and helped us set our food out. We ordered a four piece fried chicken combo to share, which came with two sides. I asked for some rice and mashed potatoes, and I also couldn't help from ordering the flan for dessert. The fried chicken is delicious - the breading is thin and crispy. The rice was a-ok. Mashed potatoes was nothing special. Bread roll was meh. Flan was not great, I wish I had gotten the quatro leches cake. Overall, Pollo Campero is definitely an interesting new "fast" food option on Buford Highway. The chicken alone is a solid 4 star, while the sides and everything else were a solid 3, at most. Definitely come here just for the chicken!!

    It's okay. When we were driving down Buford Highway, after coming from Church's Chicken, we saw Pollo Campero (which looks like a former Church's chicken fyi) and made a plan to come back. One week later we paid these guys a visit, hyped for some great Latin chicken! As we visited on a Sunday after church, this place was packed. Tables were full and to go orders were also coming and going for the time we were there. We both decided to get chicken meals, have them split between fried and grilled ($6.99 each), and yuca fries/plantains ( both $1). The chicken was split with one fried breast, one wing and one chicken leg (both grilled). The fried chicken piece was actually fried very well. The breast was juicy, fried portion was crispy and not at all greasy. The grilled, which was a lemon herb blend, was somewhat underwhelming. You could get one side and one drink with your meal. I chose plantains, and while the plantains weren't bad, they weren't anywhere close to the best I've had. The yuca fries were also okay. Pollo Campero was JAMMMMM packed. If you aren't cool with eating with other tables and diners being very close to your table, maybe get your order to go. Parking at Pollo Campero is pretty easy with this private lot and there are a couple of entrances/exits onto Buford hwy. Customer service was friendly and their explaination of menu items was helpful even though they tried to upsell many of their additional sides and drinks. So yea, the fried chicken was good, not greasy, very crispy and I'd happily go back for that. The sides and the grilled chicken couldn't keep up with the goodness of the fried though. My next visit back will be for the fried.

    1/4 grilled chicken (leg + thigh), plantains, dinner roll, sour cream, lime.

    Pollo Campero is actually pretty good. El Pollo Loco and Pollo Tropical don't have anything on this place. Pollo Campero is the world's largest Latin chicken chain. It's a mix between fast food and fast casual. The ordering process, delivery time, and prices are like a fast food joint (there's even a drive-thru), but the food is personally served to your table on a tray with real plates and silverware like a fast casual restaurant. I had dinner here last night with a group of 12 for our latest Buford Highway UYE (http://www.yelp.com/events/atlanta-buford-highway-uye-pollo-campero). We showed up unannounced. The manager and staff were friendly and accommodating to our large group. I was pleasantly surprised with the entire experience including the service, the quality of the food and establishment, and the speed at which the food hit our table. After 28 BuHi UYEs with large groups, Pollo Campero easily wins for fastest food delivery time. In some cases, people received their orders almost instantly. "Pollo Campero" roughly translates as country chicken. They serve all sorts of chicken: fried chicken, grilled chicken, chicken sandwiches, chicken strips, chicken bowls, and chicken burritos. You can choose which pieces of chicken you get (e.g. leg, thigh, breast, wing). Most of the aforementioned items cost only $6.00-7.00 each and include a side and fountain drink. Note on the fountain drinks: In addition to the self-serve fountain machine with sodas, you can choose any of the fresh Latin drinks (agua frescas) behind the counter. They include tamarindo (tamarind drink), horchata (sweet cinnamon rice drink), and jamaica (purple hibiscus tea). I recommend these over the self-serve fountain drinks. Family meals are available. You can order up to a 16-piece chicken meal with 4 sides for $32.99 (serves 7-8 people). You can also order a whole grilled chicken for $11.99 (or with two sides for $17.99). Sides include Latin dishes such as seasoned pinto beans ("Campero Beans"), black beans and white rice, seasoned rice, yuca fries, and sweet plantains, and American sides like mashed potatoes and gravy, coleslaw, and fries. If you're looking to eat healthy, salads are also offered. A self-serve salsa bar is located next to the ordering counter. Last night, it contained five different types of salsas: jalapeno, pico de gallo, cilantro/onion, roasted tomatillo, and chipotle. I ordered the #4 1/4 Grilled Meal ($5.99). It came with a grilled chicken leg and thigh (other option is breast and wing), a side (I chose Campero Beans), and a drink (I chose horchata). The meal was delicious. Everyone in our group who ordered the grilled chicken was surprised at how tasty it was. The chicken was well seasoned and marinated. It was tender and juicy -- perfectly moist. It's almost like eating rotisserie chicken. The dish also came with a fresh slice of lime and a choice of a dinner roll or two corn tortillas. Lime was not necessary for the chicken, though. The skin already had an appetizing tanginess to it. I went with corn tortillas in lieu of bread and the tortillas were mostly unmemorable, except for the fact that each set of two was individually wrapped and heated in plastic bags. The Campero Beans were quite flavorful. Campero Beans are slow-cooked pinto beans simmered with smoked bacon, chorizo, onions, garlic, tomatoes, jalapenos, and a special seasoning. They were certainly hearty and satisfying and I recommend them. Drink-wise, I tried two of the agua frescas listed above: the horchata and jamaica. Both drinks seemed more processed than what an independent, perhaps more "authentic" Latin joint would serve, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. The horchata was super sweet and consistently silky smooth throughout. Often times, horchata can have a powdery texture because the drink isn't mixed all the way through. Not here. The jamaica was fruity and also very sweet. I liked both drinks. The store is bright and clean and decorated in bold burnt orange colors. You wouldn't think it from passing this place on the road, but Pollo Campero is probably one of the nicest, if not the nicest, fast food joints on Buford Highway. It's probably 10 times cleaner than the Taco Bell next door. Service was excellent. Apart from receiving our orders super quick, staff periodically checked on our tables, asked if we needed anything, and took away finished plates. At the end of our meal, the manager checked on us one last time and thanked us for coming. Overall, Pollo Campero gets a solid 4 stars out of me. I had a good experience and the food was good value for the money. I'll be back.

    It was time for Bestfriend and I to go eat and he said he wanted to eat American. As I wanted to…read moretry somewhere new, I hopped on Yelp and performed a search and came across Three Buddies. Based on the reviews and pictures I saw I decided to give Three Buddies a try. Three Buddies was easy to find as it sits right on the main road. They have their own parking lot so there is ample parking so once I turned, I hopped into a park and we headed inside. Three Buddies has a simple decor as the design aesthetic is straightforward and leaves the focus on the restaurant name itself. The restaurant was very clean and had a diner style setup with ample seating. Once seated, the waitress approached us with a warm smile and cheerful greeting. She provided us with menus, took our drink order, and allowed us some time to review the menus in full. With a variation of halal items on the menu, Three Buddies had me wanting a little bit of everything. However, I decided to go with a classic approach and get the Chicken Sandwich (fried) with Onion Rings (both well done). Once our order was placed, it was back to the enjoyment of the ambiance as we engaged in our conversation. When our food arrived at the table, the visual presentation was extra enticing. The aroma was captivating and after saying grace, o was ready to eat. Chicken Sandwich: Meaty Perfectly Fried Well Seasoned Fresh Fixins Buttered Bun Crispy Outside - Moist Inside 10/10 Onion Rings: The BOMB Crunchy Tender Onion Well Seasoned Great Homemade Ranch Dip Well Seasoned Huge 10/10 Three Buddies was truly an amazing experience. This is my new hidden gem for date night. I will definitely be back again very soon. This place is low key and fitting for a good meal and relaxed environment. The price point of the food at Three Buddies is perfect as the portions are filling and the food is high quality. Good food. Good service. Good prices. It's an all around great place.

    This place has the most random menu items but it somehow works. I really dislike massive menu's and…read morewhen restaurants don't know what they specialize in but this place is different. It's 2 pages but the items are eclectic. I've had wings, tacos, cheese steak, fried chicken sandwich, and tikka sandwich here. They were all good. None of it was amazing, but they were all solid. The tacos were American tacos with lots of lettuce and cheese. As far as sides go, I've had tater tots, hush puppies, onion rings, chole chickpea soup, and naan. Same thing, everything is solid but nothing really stood out. The service is good and the ambiance is pretty casual. Would I come here again? Sure. I like the food here.

    Experience Atlanta's best Bahn Mi!…read more Location and Parking Lee's Bakery is located in a strip mall on Buford Hwy, with plenty of free parking. Venue and Atmosphere The establishment is simple enough; order at the counter, take a number and a seat, and they will deliver the food to your table. The décor isn't fancy but it's clean. Food and Beverages If you're coming for a delicious and filling sandwich, you've come to the right place. The bread is crusty on the outside and soft on the inside, with just the right ratio of meat and vegetables. Bread is made fresh in house daily, and they sell bags of day old bread as well. They also sell Vietnamese coffee and baba teas. They do NOT sell sweet tea (I found this out the hard way lol). Verdict I'll be back!

    Curious of all the hype and positive reviews in Atlanta magazine, we were finally in the area and…read morestopped in to pick up a banh mi to eat for dinner. It was very crowded on a late Sunday afternoon. I ordered at the cashier and it was about a 15 minute wait for the sandwich. It was fascinating to watch the sole person making all of those banh mi's as well as the people waiting in line to be seated or pay at the cashier. Long story short- maybe because we waited to eat it, but the bread was soggy ( probaby should not package in plastic ) and the ingredients - tofu were minimal. Veggies were not pickled. Sandwich was small in size too. Too many better banh mi places to dine in my opinion. This place seems to be popular based upon its longevity and not its quality.
