    Nou Nou S.

    So many years ago, while working for an armored truck company, I used to drive by these restaurants called Pollo Campero in northern Va. I was happy to see one in Fred'burg and finally was able to make a visit. It's located off Plank Rd (Rt. 3) next to Taco Bell, diagonally from Honey Pig and At Home. As you walked in, the restaurant is very clean, seats are space out, and you make your order with cashier. The menu offers combo meals, sandwiches, empanadas, variety of side dishes, one dessert and they prepared their chickens in two ways: fried and grilled. What I find unique and different about their self served beverages, not only they offer soda drinks but also a floral, fruit and horchatas too. I ordered 4 items: 1) 2 piece combo meal 2) Chicken empanada 3) Spicy chicken sandwich 4) Mango nectarine drink. Once you place your order, you are given a number and if you don't mind a little wait since the food is made freshly. The food will be brought to your table with real utensils and napkins. The two piece chicken which is a leg and thigh were served with fried plantains as my side. Their fried chicken was tender, crispy and succulent. Be careful with the first bite as they are piping hot but very delicious. You don't need any sauce because they are well seasoned and the plantains were cooked perfectly. They too were delicious. Surprisingly their chicken empanada had a light outer skin and the filling was full of umami. I will definitely order more than one next time. The spicy chicken sandwich was layered with pickles, has a thin crust, and spread with a habanero sauce. I just wish there were more of the sauce though but it was very good. I wash it down with a mango nectarine drink which was smooth, refreshing and delicious. My cashier was named Jocelyn. She was friendly, patient and knowledgeable. I will definitely make another visit to try other items on their menu. Welcome to Fred'burg!

    They just opened and we went inside to order. We waited in the line all to be told it is a 30 minute wait to order chicken. So I just ordered Yuca fries and beans. Very disappointed with the way it is being run. Will wait a month and try some chicken but for now it is not worth coming here.it has been over 30 minutes and I still have not received my small beans and small Yuka fries. This is absolutely ridiculous. It took a hour to get a small bean, which was very small and an extremely small Yuka fry. I will never come back. Not worth the price. I would give them less than a 1 star if I could.

    Horrifically bland greasy fried chicken, soggy tasteless roasted chicken. Fried, plaintains and dinner roll.

    I'd request for well done chicken, but I get burnt chicken and extremely salty to me. It looked like they don't know what well done means

Whoever was on the register (a young man) stood out. They treated us very well. Others made sure to address us on the way out and say goodbye. The restaurant was clean and the food was really good. My kids generally eat very healthy and normally hate chicken tenders. They won't eat frozen chicken tenders at all because they are usually overly breaded and just kinda gross. These are NOT that. I had a leftover tender from my daughter and it was sooo good. The kids loved them and my son was impressed.

There stood a cheerful young lady with a tablet beside the speaker box, hustling orders with the urgency of an air traffic controller at Reagan National. Now I will give them this -- they move people through faster than a tax refund disappears in Washington. I ordered three chicken finger baskets and repeated "unsweetened tea" enough times that it should have become part of the permanent record. Reconfirmed it at the second window too. We were in and out in four minutes flat, carrying enough Styrofoam and paper sacks to feed a Little League team. Six minutes later at home, the first sip of tea hit like liquified hummingbird feeder. That "unsweetened" tea had enough sugar in it to put the city of Fredericksburg on insulin monitoring. Somewhere in that kitchen a man clearly believes every Southerner measures tea sweetness by whether the spoon can stand upright in the cup. Then came the fries. Lord help us. These were pale, limp crinkle fries that looked less "fresh fried" and more "recently thawed beside a space heater." Not a hint of crispness. No golden-brown glory. Just soft potato strips lying in the tray like they had accepted defeat long before reaching the fryer. The chicken itself? Tiny little one-inch strips hiding under enough crunchy batter to qualify as exterior siding. Crispy, yes. Generous, no. More breading than bird. The Texas toast arrived soggy enough to make you wonder if it had been steamed instead of toasted. Calling that "Texas toast" is an insult to a state that once fought a war over standards. The lone survivor in this culinary rodeo was the sauce. That special sauce is carrying the entire franchise on its back like a weary mule climbing Pike's Peak. I finally asked my grandson if he had eaten there before. He admitted he had not. He'd simply been told it was great and figured nobody could really mess up chicken fingers and fries. Well. Humanity continues to innovate. Strike Raising Cane's from the regular rotation unless it is 2:00 in the morning, every other restaurant in Virginia is dark, and your soul is screaming for fried chicken through the fog of poor decisions.

As a longtime Cookout fan who first discovered the chain during late night college runs in North Carolina, I always make a point to stop by whenever I'm near one of their northernmost locations in Fredericksburg, VA. Over the years, Cookout has come a long way from the plain white Styrofoam trays to the new branded paper boxes with vent holes, which do a great job of keeping fried foods crispy and fresh. I've dined inside this location about half a dozen times and have always had a great experience. The restaurant is consistently clean, the staff are friendly, and service is quick. My go to order is the Cookout Tray with a big double burger prepared Cookout Style, which means Carolina chili, slaw, cheese, and raw onions. I usually get fries and onion rings as my sides. Even though the tray used to be $3.99 back in my college days, the current price of $6.99 still feels like a great value considering the portion size and quality. On my most recent visit, I was extra hungry and decided to try a second mini tray for $5.99. I went with two corndogs as the main and added cheese bites and hush puppies as sides, plus a Snickers milkshake to top it off. Everything came out hot, fresh, and exactly how I remember it. The milkshake was thick and creamy, just the way it should be, and I was absolutely stuffed by the end. Cookout's big double burgers, whether you get them Cookout Style or Cheddar Style with grilled onions, cheese sauce, and bacon, are easily some of the best fast food burgers for the price. Between the generous portions, variety of options, and late night hours (many locations stay open until 3 a.m.), Cookout continues to deliver on both taste and value. Overall, this Fredericksburg location has never disappointed me and remains one of my favorite stops when I'm craving a classic Cookout meal. Five stars all around for great food, friendly service, and consistent quality.

So, recently I stopped in here for lunch and got one of their "2 for" deals - I tried two of the Checkerburgers, with everything. I also noticed they have an extra large version of their fries and since I absolutely loved their fries, I got it. First off - Placing my order - Was Complicated! Why can't people who work drive-thrus in this country speak and understand fluent English? This is far from being anything offensive, it's honest - I had a tough time simply asking what comes on the burger. While the service was friendly enough, the language barrier was ridiculous and frankly, unacceptable. The food - The burgers appeared to be made with stale buns. They had that texture which is prevalent when they've been exposed to air too long. Could have been because I got there around 10:45AM for "lunch" but that's no excuse. They should NOT be serving from a patch of buns opened the day before. Either way, these buns were no good. The meat wasn't hot, it didn't even melt the cheese. I found this horribly disappointing, as it's the reason I no longer eat at McDonalds - they do this "warmer drawer" mess that keeps meat lukewarm, but not hot enough to melt the cheese. Well, it seems Checkers is also serving meat that isn't hot enough to melt cheese - unacceptable! Finally, the fries - They tasted like waffle cone! They had a sweet and odd back note to them, which isn't what I'm familiar with. I wonder if they were fried in the same vat as a dessert item they also make/serve? Either way, I tossed them out after eating about ¼ of the cup of them. I was so disappointed with this visit that it'll be another 8 years before I come back.

As you walked in, the restaurant is clean, very comfortable atmosphere and a good vibe.

For all burgers, it comes with some condiments but you can also add extra. I tell ya, that first bite to their double cheeseburger was simply amazing. The buns were airy, soft and lightly toasted. The burger was tender, juicy and with all of the components together it made that bite perfect for me. You have a choice of sides but I wasn't able to choose so I ordered their matchstix fries, tater tots and onion rings. You have your typical ketchup for your fries but they also have two other dipping sauce for your fries which is regular dipping and jalapeño. I recommend the jalapeño cheddar, you won't be disappointed! The prime steakburger was also tender and delicious. Their chili dogs was delicious, it had a crispy casting, chili topping was delicious but I wish the cheese was melted. And lastly you can't go wrong with any of their shakes, sundaes and custards. I got their strawberry dreamcake sundae with two scoops of vanilla ice cream, topped with strawberry, cake chunks and it was delicious. All staff members were friendly and shown great team work. I had immaculate service from cashier named Ervin L. He was friendly, humorous, attentive and very knowledgeable. This restaurant is a great place to bring your kids, friends and family. I will definitely make another visit in the near future.
