Delicious fried chicken, a very pleasant surprise. The drumstick was juicy, flavorful and just perfect. I appreciated the freshness and quality. Not overly greasy where it feels like a lump in your stomach. Not over processed or over seasoned. Just enough crunch. Loved it. Will return. read more

This spot has potential and I will definitely be trying it again. I had the chicken sandwich combo with beans as my side. To me the chicken seemed dry, but the BEANS were TOP TIER!!!! Absolutely delicious. I'll just go back for the beans at this point. They were so flavorful. Also tried the empanada trio which were not too bad but probably wouldn't try them again. Overall I would say this spot is cool for a quick meal. read more

See all

Ordered here for the first time and was completely disappointed in the quality of chicken and service. We did drive-thru and asked for 8 mixed piece l half fried/grilled chicken only. As soon as we got home and opened this box we saw no breast pieces and all pieces looked completely dry like they were sitting there for a while. On top of that we were only given fried pieces only!! We paid extra for half and half and they did not provide what we paid for. Chicken looked dry and small. Not worth $22+ No grilled pieces even though we paid for it. Not a true mixed variations. Just looked like they gave us the cheapest pieces and oldest pieces. Not worth the price!! I feel bad for the chicken! read more

Pollo Campero - Small 8 Pieces - Chicken Only Not worth it. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

1. It's filthy. I walked past dirty tables piled high with chicken wings. 2. Stood at counter for 10 minutes. Ignored. Looked like the relevant employee was on a personal call by the sofas. A kitchen employee came out and looked at her and then retreated back to the kitchen. Behind me were more would-be customers. read more

As someone who has been a loyal Pollo Campero fan since the early 2000s, I can confidently say this Annapolis location stands out as the best one in Maryland. I've visited several others--including Langley Park and PG Plaza--but none compare to the quality and service here. At other locations, I've often encountered issues like less-than-fresh food, messy dining areas, long waits for online orders, and stingy sauce policies. Thankfully, none of those problems exist here. The Annapolis restaurant is spotless, the staff is friendly and attentive, and the food is consistently hot, fresh, and flavorful. They're generous with sauces (a big plus for me), and the entire experience feels well-managed and welcoming. I've been here twice now, and both visits were excellent. There's plenty of parking, which makes it even more convenient. My go-to order is the 4-piece mixed dark meat with yuca, plantains, and a chicken empanada--and every item was cooked perfectly. This is Pollo Campero's newest Maryland location, and it truly does not disappoint. Highly recommended! read more

My visit to Pollo Campero at the Annapolis Mall was a complete disappointment. I pulled into the drive‑thru and sat there for at least five minutes with no one around and no greeting. When someone finally came on the speaker, I was told the nuggets would take ten minutes, so they offered me a chicken sandwich instead. I went with the sandwich, but when I opened it, it was cold. Not fresh, not warm--cold. After waiting that long, that was the last thing I expected. From the slow service to the poor food quality, the whole experience was a fail from beginning to end. Definitely won't be returning. read more

Every day this restaurant gets better and better started out a little rocky, but now the quality of the food and service seems to be getting better day by day. I think they got a little overwhelmed when they first opened with the amount of people that showed up within the first month. Consistency and meal prep seems to be getting better as the staff learns how to operate the restaurant. I'll keep you informed. read more

I have wanted to try this place for awhile but wasn't sure it was a good idea since I hadn't heard anyone recommend it. I can honestly say I did not enjoy my experience. I was ignored for quite a few minutes to place my order. I'm not sure what the issue was exactly. The cashier was unfriendly. The chicken was dry and came with no sauce. I read other posts mentioning sauce but was not aware this was an option. The roll came dry without butter. The plantains were good, but that's about it. I have a stomach ache and hope it wasn't from this meal. read more

So so , not much to it . Service was quick . It's fairly cheap so you get what you pay for . Hangry Joes way better .

Terrible customer service. Food cold and undercooked. I've been twice now and I've had the same bad experience. I tried to give them a chance but do not waste your time or money. Horrible experience!!! read more

Pollo Campero - Terrible customer service. Cold chicken and undercooked. Do not waste your time or money. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

I placed an order through the app, when I arrived, everything was ready. The food was delicious and the service was fast. No complaints

We really enjoyed our first visit - chicken very good. The cashier was very helpful as we were ordering a two piece dark and a two piece white combo - she saved us money by recommending we get the four piece combo instead. Sides are more exciting than Popeye's - loved the sweet plantains! read more

The staff needs serious retraining. They were unprofessional and didn't seem to understand how the app points work. I've been here three times, and every single time I've waited about an hour for an online order. Ordering ahead is pointless if the food isn't ready. To make it worse, they didn't even have enough chicken. This place is a joke read more

Do not waste your money here. Went through drive through and got chicken breast meal, nuggets, Mac n cheese, Cole slaw, fries and empanadas. The chicken seasoning was not tasty and the chicken was overcooked and chewy. The fries were probably the worst I've ever had. They were rubbery. Mac n cheese was so gross. The noodles were soft and mushy and the cheese sauce was thick and nasty tasting. The empanadas were ok. I will not purchase food from here again. What a huge disappointment. read more

I love their empanadas, but no matter when I go, something is always "out", and I have to go with a second choice. They take an awfully long time to get your food to you too, whether in the drive thru or dining in. read more

This was our first visit and having a coupon is what brought us into this fairly new restaurant in the Annapolis area. I reviewed the menu prior to going so I had an idea what we were going to order. Once there we found out that your 8 piece chicken meal if you took it 1/2 fried and 1/2 baked was made up from current pieces of chicken cooked in either style. We tried it both ways and truly enjoyed both styles. Our sides were the rice, French fries and fried plantains . We also tried their chicken empanadas. So being new to fried plantains and empanadas, I can't fairly judge them but we enjoyed both of them. Next time we will probably skip the regular French Fries and stick with the rice. The staff were very helpful during the ordering process. read more

Company was coming on Saturday, and I needed a meal for 9 people! I did not want to cook!! We went to the Amish Market, but the lines were extremely long. My son suggested Pollo Camero! I am so glad he did. The staff was friendly, and the service was great! The young lady who served us made recommendations and we ended up getting 28 pieces of chicken - half roasted half fried. It was DELICIOUS! I am a fan of the roasted - but both were very tasty! All I had to do was make a large salad and get dessert (we did get a chocolate cake from the Amish Market) and the meal was complete! Easy peasy!!! Also, the chicken was cheaper and better than anywhere else we tried! Our guests loved it! All of them said that the chicken was well seasoned and delicious! read more

The staff all have horrible attitude.They are out of everything nothing is available on the menu.Service is just overall bad
