It's been sometime since I've last been to Pollo Campero. I'd say about 2 years ago and shortly before I began making Restaurant reviews a hobby which means I very rarely go to the same spot twice unless it's left a big impression on me. With that said Pollo Campero has always been one of my favorite chicken spots, tied up there with Jollibee so I took the opportunity to swing by location in Herald Square, Manhattan. Inside the place was clean, spacious and surprisingly uncrowded considering I was in the city on a Friday. Service was decent, no complaints, as I've stated in another review earlier this week, I don't expect fast food service to be stellar or elite, it just has to not be terrible so I'd give PC here a solid A. After my order was taken and I was waiting for my order I just to

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Pollo Campero – 6th Ave, New York Stopped by Pollo Campero on 6th Ave and was pleasantly surprised! They offer lots of food for a reasonable price and the seating inside is spacious and clean. Service was fast, friendly, and efficient, which made the experience even better. They had great deals—the 4-piece chicken meal was priced the same as the 3-piece! The fried chicken was crispy, flavorful, and definitely the highlight. Some of the other chicken varieties were just okay in comparison, but still decent. Fries were tasty and nicely seasoned. Overall, a good spot for a quick, filling meal in a convenient location. Would come back again for the fried chicken and value deals!

First off, there are many areas for dining. The restaurant is usually not crowded, therefore finding seats should not be a huge problem for customers. There are many ways to order: kiosks, over the counter, and even online. (Suggestion: pre-order online to pick up before you arrive to the restaurant so it would not take as long as it would waiting if you ordered physically. There is also no problem with sitting down after picking up your order.) We ordered a family 8 piece crispy chicken. The chicken was crispy and golden on the outside and on the inside it was moist and well done. The mac and cheese was deeeeelicious! Very creamy and flavorful and also well-seasoned. Also, try not to order the fries. Once they served us fries, it was very cold and hard and they did not serve a decent am

Pollo Campero offers entrees. Tried both grilled (only bone-in) and fried chicken. I prefer the grilled. Seasoned, citrusy taste on skin. The 2-piece meal with a side, dinner roll costs around $10; with white meat is +$1.90, so came out to around $12. Make sure to say grilled bec I was given fried at first ( I forgot to specify and also wasn't asked). Twice, there was also a little wait for the grilled. The fried bone-in chicken to me has a different flavor from other fast food fried chicken. Tasty, skin not crispy though. My family liked the classic chicken sandwich meal- fried, only with pickles, a side, around $10. Grilled wasn't an option for sandwiches. I like that the sides are not the typical fast-food options. There's fried yuca (good but some a bit fibrous), plantains, beans, r

★★★★★ 5.0 Billy Rodriguez · Aug 2025

Hands down the best fried chicken of ALL the chicken chains! Food, drink, service and cleanliness was 10/10. A huge shoutout to employee Lorgia who was so kind during my first visit. Not only did she welcome me so kindly, she helped explain the options and provided recommendations and did it all with a smile. You rarely get service this great nowadays. Kudos to her! As for the food, the fried chicken is really delicious! The seasoning is quite unique and flavorful. I recommend it over the grilled chicken. You get several sides to choose from. I tried the plantains, rice, mac and cheese and yuca fries. They were all great and tasted really fresh which is surprising for a fast food chain. My only criticism would be that the sides are a little pricey for the size, nonetheless, they’re good.
