    Small rice, small black beans and large drink
    Ant R.

    Service was good but the food I was extremely dumbfounded when the cashier told me that my order was $12.76!!! And I only ordered a small rice, a small black beans and a large drink. $12.76 are you serious? Is this rice and beans brought down from the heavens laced with gold flakes? $12.76 are you serious??? Never ever again in my life or the next 3 lives will I come to this restaurant. That's for damn sure. $12.76 are you serious?!?

    No black beans

    I've went to this location 3x this week and every time my food was wrong and cold! I am beyond pissed at this point and will stick to chipotle in the same plaza... I will update every time I go there and they mess up my order! 3/7/22- ordered to pick up in store.. got there 30 mins after my pickup time and wasn't ready.. had to wait 10 more mins 3/15/22- everything fine.. except they forgot my tostones... caught it at the drive thru.. 3/27/22- ordered LARGE tropi bowl they forgot my black beans! tostones hard as a rock and cold af (went at a busy time 5pm no reason it should be like this) Called to speak to a manager... no answer so left a voice mail.. 3/30/22 here at the drive thru currently.. forgot my avocado that I asked for... didn't even charge and no sauce that I asked for.. this is why your lines are so long and all errors. Order taker should be repeating order!

    This was Vegan Tropichop until I unknowingly added the curry mustard sauce which contains egg for who knows why.
    Kelly T.

    So I saw the new offering of Vegan Tropichop and was Delighted! I had no intentions on making dinner tonight and was grumpy about scavenging the fridge for something reasonable. I was about to put in the order online when I panicked thinking what if they cook it in the same spot where they just cook some meat? That would be gross and defeat the purpose. I tried to call the restaurant but the number I had on the Maps app said that it was disconnected, weird. Anyway, I went to the restaurant on my way home from work and spoke to a manager to ease my fears. She told me that the Beyond Meat grounds are cooked separately on their own. So, again delighted I ordered a large! I added all of the condiments that I love so much: chopped onion, jalapeños and curry mustard sauce. I couldn't wait to get this home and in my belly! I texted this information to a friend who pointed out that their curry mustard sauce has effing egg in it. ?!???!!!! Really?!? Why?!?!!!!?! That makes no sense. I make curry mustard sauce at home with curry and mustard. Curry and mustard! Why do you have egg in curry mustard sauce?!? Of course now I have to go and look at the ingredients of my mustard. Are you really telling me that there could be egg in my mustard? Ok: there is no egg in my mustard. Despite this nonsense the restaurant was relatively clean, the lines moved fairly quickly and the staff was helpful. Except that at dinner rush-hour the condiment station attendant was changing out items which was a bit annoying. Not that she was cleaning things up and changing out the items but that she was doing it right then when 5 people wanted to use said condiment stand. So did I eat the Tropichop? Yes, I did. Was it good? It was actually fairly good but I enjoyed it less because I was angry about the egg. In the future, I will use my own effing curry mustard sauce without egg.

    Shredded Chicken Tropichop
    Shennel S.

    This Pollo Tropical always has a line in the drive thru but for good reason! I ordered the shredded chicken tropichop, which is new to me, and it was nice and flavorful and the avocado was nice and green and everything tasted really fresh. I also ordered the quatro leche which was a 10/10! I don't think they make it in house because of how it's wrapped up but it still taste very good and fresh as well.

    Fuck Jennifer the manager fuck the cashier lady , fuck this location .my food got stolen and I presented my identification, my used card and my receipt . I got told TOUGH LUCK. I wouldn't be getting a refund or my food store number 10110. You are absolutely a trash location. With managers that don't know how to run a fucking restaurant . I looked past the grabbing the chicken with our gloves because of how hungry I am. But fuck you all. I'll put you on blast now

    Barely any sauce

    HORRIBLE the people that work there completely suck, you ask for pollo pollo sauce and they give you their regular hot sauce, you ask for cilantro sauce and they give you a droplet of sauce in their containers, literally nothing in them! Extremely disappointed, need to do a better job at hiring people to do their job the right way, I don't understand how you have the audacity to give that to someone. Complete garbage! Horrible! Nasty! Just ew... DONT EVER COME TO THIS POLLO TROPICAL! KFC IS RIGHT NEXT TO IT MIGHT AS WELL GO THERE! Oh and the people that take your order are complete zombies they just stare at you not even greet and won't say a word to you, very rude... I feel ashamed for the people working there, a whole disgrace!

    MORE UNDERCOOKED CHICKEN AND THAT SAUCE I ASKED FOR THE TROPCHOPI AND ENDED USING FOR THE UNDERCOOKED SLIDERS
    Yashna C.

    This place is the worst to go to at night, every time I've gone there during the night, my order was wrong or didn't meet satisfactory in their execution. I went there tonight and asked for the new sliders. I specifically asked only for sauce on the sliders and no pickles, tomatoes, or pickled onions and guess what? They gave me NO SAUCE WHICH MAKES EACH SLIDER UNIQUE and every thing that I DIDNT WANT. That's not the worst part, ALL the sliders were undercooked being that it was PINK inside. Also, they gave no utensils when I also ordered a tropichop and mashed potatoes. I'm not done yet, the customer service SUCKS. I've called multiple times to complain about this unacceptable order but no one picked up. I understand that workers are tired, but regardless of how tired you are, this is a job so do it well. The picture is the undercooked sliders.

    over filled trash cans too.

    I've been waiting forever for a Dave's to appear on this side of the country after visiting the…read morePasadena, California, location three years ago. Finally, a Dave's opened at this location on Palm Beach Lakes Blvd. Great location, great service with a smile, and the hot chicken was as good as I remembered it in California. Located on Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard in the same plaza as City Furniture and Dunkin' Donuts, Dave's serves excellent hot chicken tenders with all the various heat levels ranging from no spice/heat to Reaper. For my first trip, I ordered online ahead of time their chicken tenders-and-fries meal with a 10-piece of chicken bites. Each came on white bread with a side of pickles and sauce. For the chicken tenders, I could choose a heat level for each. I went with the medium heat and the very hot heat. For the chicken bites, you could either order them with no spice, medium, or hot, which I chose the latter. For the chicken itself, excellently cooked, well-breaded, and fried to perfection, with a firm coating of seasoning. Based on the heat level, you can choose from no spice (no heat level) all the way up to Reaper, which incorporates Carolina Reaper powder into the seasoning mixture. Each of the bites and tenders I ordered was incredibly delicious and deeply satisfying. Heat-wise, Dave's delivers in spades. The Medium heat selection offers a hint of heat that will leave most people satisfied without being too hot. The Hot heat level was the perfect level of heat and flavor that you could eat all day, in my opinion. The Chicken Bites also reheat well for leftovers, which I used in my omelette the next morning. The Very Hot heat level brings the spice up a notch, where the heat starts to overtake the flavor, but only slightly. For someone like me, it was still delicious even if I was starting to sweat. For most, it may be too much, but they aren't heat eaters either. Next time I go, I'll try the Reaper heat level on one of the tenders to better compare, and see how far this Dave's goes to bring the heat. But the location is excellent. My food was ready when I arrived. The staff behind the counter were friendly and asked if I needed extra sauce, utensils, and more napkins. And with two high-ceilinged dining rooms that allow for those who don't want to sit near the ordering counter to have a little more quiet, it works well. Especially, with the colorful and stylish interior that's very pleasing to the eye, this Dave's is a winner.

The last location, I went to had three dispensers on the counter, facing outward to the lobby. This location has one dispenser, facing the staff behind the counter. As we were waiting, a sign was moved in front of the dispenser, so from the lobby you cannot even see that there's a dispenser in the store. They are too close in proximity to a similar business that will quickly say "my pleasure" to anything for them to be acting as if it is an over accommodation to be provided with something to wipe your hands with. What shall I use, my shirt? We ordered two Dave's #1's - one medium and one hot and a side of macaroni and cheese. The staff, was friendly. The chicken, was just as I remembered overly seasoned, but not flavorful. Something in the chicken seasoning, either cumin or saffron .....something leaves a fine/sandy/ dusty residue/texture during the chewing experience. The macaroni and cheese was reminiscent of "fourth grade 2nd period lunch" per my 13 year-old daughter and overall just as I remembered it's not something that makes me want to come back for more, unless it's for fries. I do suggest you try it if you have not, so you can make your own assessment, but also bring a roll of paper towels.

Curiosity finally got me but really I wanted to go to a sandwich shop but they didn't have my order available lol I ordered ahead, and thank goodness, because the line was wrapped. I don't think this location was designed well. The line blocks the side door, and the ordering area inside is pretty small, which made everything feel chaotic. I went straight to the pickup side of the counter and inquired about my order. The food wasn't ready yet and took about another 7 minutes, but I wasn't tripping since they were clearly slammed. I believe the associate's name was Bri, and she was nice with good customer service, which I appreciated. Food-wise, I was slightly disappointed. The tenders were a good size, and everything was cooked well. I ordered two sliders, even though I don't really like bread like that, one hot and one medium. They were marked, but honestly looked the same and tasted the same. Both were very mild, no real heat at all. I think they messed up my order, at least I hope so cause otherwise dubya tee eff, Dave. I added Dave's sauce and honey like the good people of TikTok told me to do lol, but the food was still just okay. I ended up eating most of the second tender by itself, and it didn't have much flavor. At least the chicken wasn't dry. The fries were crisp, and I grabbed some cheese sauce to go with them. I liked all the pickles and was hoping I could use them to cool off the hot sammich, but you see that didn't go as planned! Overall, I'd say try Dave's if you're curious. I'm not opposed to giving it another shot, but I'm in no rush.

We were able to get two different dipping sauces -- I like honey mustard; he got a ranch one. The tenders were oversized, all white meat and cooked perfectly; the biscuit was fluffy. The coleslaw is sweet -- one of my faves. The only thing I'm not really a fan of is their mashed potatoes as they taste a bit "fake" and were a tad watery this time. So, I let him have all of my mashed potatoes and I had some more of the coleslaw. Their food is priced well for the quantity and quality. I'm sure we would stop here again when nearby.
