    No chicken salad just lettuce onion and tomato

    I am so disappointed... love Viva Chicken but they dropped the ball today. I ordered a chicken salad sandwich with fries only to get home ( 45mins from this location) to find a sandwich with lettuce onions tomatoes but NO chicken salad! Fries were so salty I threw them away...

    Quinoa Stuffed Avocado Salad

    Viva chicken is a classic! I hadn't been to the Indian Trail location and ordered curbside. We ordered arroz con chaffa, quinoa stuffed avocados and 1/4 dark chicken. Everything was prepared perfectly. I loveee the yellow sauce. It's great that Viva offers curbside because I had my 1 year old in the car! We will back!

    always amazing food quality, staff, & ambiance !! the vibe & music are always happy & all employees are kind & wanting to help, thank yall for always looking out! everything i've tried, i've loved. (the yellow sauce is my favorite ;) most recently i tried the quinoa stuffed avocado & it was so yummy. i did expect the quinoa to be warm & it was cold but i guess i should've expected that for a salad!

    Dining room at Viva Chicken

    Mrs. K. said that she wanted "chicken!" for dinner, something like our old Florida favorite Pollo Tropical. They don't have that here, but they have something close so I steered us to Viva. Full COVID practices going on here with tables separated and the booths marked off. Staff wearing masks, customer masks required and the condiment stations are unavailable. There's also a foot pull on the bathroom door so no touching! Even though it was just the two of us, I ordered the whole chicken meal. They were fresh out of chicken, so we waited about ten minutes and that was great because our chicken was super fresh and super hot. Quartered for us on the plate, easy to fork over and dig in. For sides, we of course got the plantains and they were amazing. Peruvian fried rice was so fresh and so fluffy, it was all so terrific. And the green beans were al dente and delicious. When we were done, there was still plenty left over and I got boxes for all of it. Mrs. K. said it's her new favorite! Excellent meal, great service, not expensive at all. I suspect we'll be back to Viva Chicken soon. [Review 14269 overall, 1593 of 2020, number 684 in South Carolina.]

    Slimy and partially burnt Plantains

    The rotisserie chicken was very dry. The wings were so over cooked they were like leather. String beans were too greasy or over seasoned. Arroz chaufa was good as usual, no complaints there. The plantains were awful. I couldnt even tell they were plantains, they were slimy and sticky. For $30 Viva Chicken has to do better.

    quarter 1/4 Chicken with 2 Sides

    Food was good but my plantains were burnt. The chicken was made really well the flavor was very good, i had never been and they were really nice to explain their items to me. The rice was good aswell its nothing special but it compliments the chicken ls flavor well. Only complaint is the plantains were basically black. I also decided to try the yellow sauce, i have been to Peruvian places before and this sauce was different than what im used to, (i had more of a savory sauce before). Definitely has a little kick with what im assuming is jalapeño. I would go again though because the chicken was really yummy

    Sopa di pollo
    Lena S.

    My bro recommended this place as a clean eating healthy type of food. Omg!! It was sooo good!!! I had the Sopa di pollo, and I have to say I have never had anything like that. Every time I think of it my mouth waters. I'm going back there today and trying something else. It's been a week! Lol I would recommend this place to everyone!!

    Absolutely great food. But I find it to be way over priced for what appears to be a fast food chain restaurant.

    I'm not a huge fan of fast food however I admit after moving to NC after 25 years and being from…read moreSC, I was curious to see if Bojangles was as good as my memory thought. The short answer is according to this facility I'm not sure. Please note this is in a very safe part of town and relatively close to the main highway, schools and other shopping needs. Considering there aren't many other options available, I think Bojangles does alright with their food. The cashier was extremely nice, which I think the whole staff takes great pride in. Every time I've stopped by, they're courteous and quick to swipe the card and give me my meal. I'll start with the sides as the potatoes were bland and the gravy tasted like a paste on top of mush. In other words, there was hardly any flavor and I almost quit eating it. The mac & cheese on the other hand wasn't too bad as it was cheesy and the pasta wasn't an overcooked mess. The biscuit was fluffy and flaked easily - more so than a lot of the women I've dated - woozah! Ok that was a JOKE y'all! As for the chicken, I got two thighs and WOWZA! It's been a while since 'jangles rocked so hard I forgot what their chicken can be when the pull out a freshly fried piece of chicken. The breading was ok a little bland but not bad. Now, these thighs were HUGE, I mean even Oprah would be like... DANG! In other words the star of the show, the chicken, "clucked" to the occasion! In summary, while the sides were exactly what one thinks when going to Da Bo, the chicken was the star of the show, as it should be. The people are nice and depending on the time of day, the service quick. Stop on by for some good fried Hedwig (Harry Potter's bird).

    This place is complete dog Sh*t. You got one boy talking to his girl chillin. Got this other boy…read morestanding by the register texting. Got this other girl running around not knowing a thing or what's going on. Poor girl in training was just standing there looking miserable cause she didn't know what to do. Then you got the oldest one in there trying his best. I waited for almost 30-45 mins after explaining my order 5-7 different times. Then still gave me 5 bags of the wrong sh*t. This place and staff was pathetic other than the new girl and older gentleman. Idk where a manager or a store manager was but I would be embarrassed. Definitely a 0 out of 10
