A Friday or Saturday night family meal establishment for us. Finally doing a review! Our menu items of choice are the veggies burgers with fries (seasoned and unseasoned). A soda always comes with any meal you order. Recently we tried the mango mojitos (non- alcoholic) which were great! The staff are always friendly and the burgers are always delicious. The restaurant is kept clean as are the restrooms. This establishment has provided us comfort food for the last year and a half... we will definitely be back for more!
I'll admit, I was hesitant to try Peri Peri at first since I've always stuck with their competitor, Nando's. But I'm so glad I gave it a shot--it completely won me over! The crispy chicken was cooked to with the right amount of crunch. I've already been back twice in a month because I had to try the Nash and Smash sandwich. Yes, you read that right--a chicken sandwich and a beef patty together. It's as wild sounding, but somehow works great! If you're into spice, I'd recommend going for the spiciest level. Personally, I didn't find it super spicy, but it added great flavor without being overwhelming. Peri Peri has definitely earned a spot in my rotation. Can't wait to go back!
The Honey Garlic Chicken sandwich and Farmhouse Burger are always on point. Their Menu is very impressive and also has very solid tacos, wings and peri peri fries. The team is always very hospitable and professional with all guests. This is truly a go-to food spot so anyone that clean, crisp and tasty food.
The food was great and came out really fast. The prices were average, not too expensive. The food was fresh and so flavorful. I definitely recommend to give this place a try if you're in the area.
I have been eating here for a couple months now for lunch due to a work assignment. The food here has never disappointed. Ive tried everything but the shrimp. I tend not to eat shrimp anywhere but a dedicated seafood spot so cant speak on that, everything else is fantastic though! I get the hot sauce on everything its great. Really good fries as well.
so good. Got the crispy chicken sandwich.. mmm. it's really up there.. not quite sure if it's the best.. but definitely delicious and sizable with the two fried chicken cutlets onna buttery brioche. how does it stack up with other crispy sandwiches? if 2 Brothers in Woodbridge is a 10/10, then Peri Peri original is a 9.7 ... it's really good. wish they had fountain drinks however... $1.99 a pop is a straight up upper cut to the jaw after getting chin checked by a $12 sandwich. womp womp womp....it was pretty good tho fam. frfr.
Posting this review the day after eating.... I'm craving it so bad!!! This food was GOOD. I will say, the chicken was really dry for my chicken over rice but the white and red sauce they gave made up for it. It tastes just so homemade too. Just cut a piece of chicken, eat it with the rice with the sauces all in there and.... **chefs kiss** Nashville hot chicken sandwich was delicious too!! Kinda a a small patty but it's delicious oh my gosh!! They have plenty seats inside. There menu is huge. Trust me, try this place out! I'll be back later today for that chicken over rice again :) I don't know or maybe I'll try something new.
