    Very casual chicken place. I heard pollo tropical and this location used to be a lot better and more popular. The food was average. I like the fried yuca! It was inconvenient how we had to ask for what we needed instead of being provided or self serving. For example, there were no napkins out or provided so we had to ask the staff for napkins. You have to ask for sauces. We had to ask for plates since they didn't give enough. It's very inconvenient for a fast casual place. I wish these items were stocked at the counter instead of having to ask and wait.

    I always try to give very thorough reviews on all the restaurants I try, just to be fair. So I decide to give Pollo Tropical another chance, since my last experience in Orlando was decent. And low and behold, they dropped the ball....again. I ordered the Tropical Trio with white rice and black beans. Pretty basic, right? Well, my food is delivered and voila!, no beans. I mean, people, come on! I'm done with them. No wonder so many of their locations are closing.

    Needed a quick bite to eat and stopped through here. I'm not going to lie, I definitely didn't come in for what I actually got...I went in for their soup because honestly speaking....I'm addicted! The dish that I ended up getting was the Churrasco Tropichop. It was MUCH better than I thought it would be. Between the steak, rice, cheese tomatoes, and AVOCADO....I mean, it was definitely worth it.

    Not a chicken Caesar wrap!

    Do not go here! Food: 0/5 We ordered a chicken Caesar wrap and got a wrap with chicken, tomatoes, and American cheese we also ordered a Cuban sandwich and the pork was so overcooked and not edible. Service: you'll sit in the drive though for 30 minutes and in line in the store for 20

    I LOVE Pollo Tropical! The food is delicious, inexpensive and much of it is relatively healthy. Recently, they added a loyalty program allowing patrons to earn rewards for their purchases. As a new member, I received a coupon for a free small tropichop. I visited this afternoon to redeem it because I was ravenous and needed fuel for the gym. I opted for a create your own tropichop and designed it with 1/2 brown lettuce and lettuce, grilled chicken, black beans, corn and tomatoes. I graced the top with a small amount Curry mustard. The ingredients were very fresh and my lunch tasted superb. The cashier was friendly and the condiment bar was well organized. The floors, tables and window sills could've been cleaner which is the reason I'm providing a 4 star rating verses 5 stars.

    Dave’s Hot Chicken - Burned twin tenders

    Dave’s Hot Chicken

    4.5(11 reviews)
    0.5 mi

    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.

    I stopped at this Popeyes after a long work meeting, needing a quick lunch before heading to my…read morenext appointment. You know... fast food. Or at least that's what I thought. I pulled up to the drive-thru speaker, ready to order a Classic Chicken Sandwich and an iced tea. Then I waited. And waited. After a few minutes, I started looking around for hidden cameras. Surely this was some kind of social experiment. I even found myself eyeing the food truck in the adjacent parking lot, wondering if I'd have better luck over there. But I had my heart set on that Popeyes chicken sandwich. About six minutes later, a voice finally greeted me. I ordered the sandwich, an iced tea, and decided to throw in the fried cheese just to see what it was all about. I pulled to the window. Waited. Eventually someone came to the window. Waited some more. Eventually they took my payment. Then I was told to pull around front and wait for my food. A few minutes later, the car that had been behind me in the drive-thru joined me in the waiting area. We exchanged that universal look that says, "So... I guess we live here now." Finally, after what felt like an eternity, someone emerged from the restaurant, handed me my food, and disappeared back inside like a groundhog that had seen its shadow. No straw. No napkins. Just a bag of food and nearly 20 minutes invested in what was supposed to be fast food. To be fair, the Classic Chicken Sandwich was pretty good. Crispy, juicy, and exactly what I was craving. The downside? I'm writing this seven hours later, and I think I can still taste the salt. Two stars. The food saved this from being a one-star review. But it takes a special level of inefficiency to turn a quick drive-thru stop into something that feels long enough to qualify for vacation time.
