Pollard's Chicken - London Bridge

I will start by saying, I'm not a fan of the chicken at Pollards. Never have been. It has been years since I stepped foot in one after several bad experiences over several of their restaurants.Fast forward to now and I was really craving some Mac & Cheese, baked beans and cabbage. I found this Pollards had at least the Mac & beans, so I placed an order online.The staff was friendly, but I don't believe they pay attention to online orders, and don't start anything until you arrive. If you are in a rush, be prepared for about a 5 minute wait (depending on your order).Now to the sides. I got the Mac, beans and greens. I was just trying to kill a craving! This had no business being this doggone good! The greens were perfectly seasoned, the baked beans has great flavor and the Mac didn't disappoint. I know it was just sides, but I've already been back twice in the past few weeks...and they are constant!So, will I try the chicken at this location? Probably not. We are having a great relationship with these sides. I don't want to risk this relationship over some under cooked poultry. Don't let this sway your decision not to get the chicken. I never had the chicken from here, but I'm good with the sides.

Good food, not the fastest staff, but it's good, especially for take out. Plenty of indoor seating and they keep the place clean.

I ordered some chicken to go as well as macaroni and cheese and green beans. I came back a second time a few days later and ordered some chicken livers for my mom. She loves chicken livers and was mad when Cracker Barrel stopped serving them. She LOVED these. I bought her a large and she ate them all. She said they were perfectly cooked and so tender and juicy. Idk anything about chicken livers, but she loved them and wants more. Our chicken was so juicy and delicious too. The thighs were my favorite, but the breasts were good too. We also loved the macaroni and cheese and green beans. The store is always clean and the employees are always friendly. The dessert in the case looks yummy too, so I can't wait to get some of that next time.

This Pollard's Chicken is located at the corner of Great Neck Rd. and Virginia Beach Blvd. It is easiest to get to it from heading west on Virginia Beach Blvd. or south on Great Neck Rd. I have passed this place several times over the years but had never made it in here until then. My first visit here was around midday on December 31, 2021.There was parking available when I came in. However, there was quite a bit of traffic as there is a Starbucks pretty much next to this place and they were extremely busy that day. It can make it difficult at times when it is so busy there at the Starbucks.After taking an outside view of the place, I went inside. It wasn't too busy inside, and since I had looked at the menu online before coming in, I had an idea of what I was looking for. I went up to the counter and they were ready for me to order. I ended up going with the fried chicken with two breasts and two legs. For the sides, I chose the macaroni and cheese and mashed potatoes. The cost was similar to other fried chicken joints in the area.A few minutes after ordering and paying, one of the workers let me know that it would be about 15 minutes as they needed to cook some more chicken. Many of the other people waiting were delivery drivers for food delivery apps. Even though I didn't order a drink, they offered a drink cup to me for the wait. It's these little things like that that make things a bit better.After about ten minutes or so, my order was complete, and I was able to pick it up and head home to eat it. After getting home, I opened the box and it looked really good. It had everything I ordered in there. Even though it took a little while to get home, everything was still hot. All of the chicken there was really good, and it was tender and juicy too. The mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese for sides were really good too. The puffs were good as well.Overall, I had a really good experience for my first visit to Pollard's Chicken. I am totally adding them to my list of places I will come back to. Next time, I think I am going to try the roasted chicken. If you're looking for a good, local chicken place, this place definitely fits the bill, and you should definitely cluck (check) them out.

We catered Pollard's Chicken for my daughter's graduation party and it was a major hit. I've had Pollard's a few years ago and remembered it tasting great so I couldn't think of a better place to order chicken from. I called in the order about a week before the party for 80 pieces of chicken and they told me that the chicken would be ready on the day of the party by 2pm. Once the day came for pickup, I called to see if we could pick up the chicken earlier but since it was a graduation weekend and Father's Day weekend, they were very strict about the pick up time but apologized that they couldn't accommodate us, which I understood. We had family in town from different places and they ranted and raved over how great the chicken was. We made a few sides to go with the chicken but it was a definitely a major hit and I'm so glad we catered from Pollard's.

Casual diner serving southern style soul food. It has reigned supreme as one of the favorite spots for soul food in VA beach for years. I wish they added Chitlins, ham hocks, meat loaf, and fried whiting on the menu. But there focus is fried chicken, which they do very well. We enjoyed the okra and corn pudding. Both cooked perfectly. The puffs taste like sugarless donuts. I'm a fan. Save room for dessert! The bread pudding is perfect with coffee. Enjoy.

So if we are being honest it's been 6 years since I've been to pollards. Last time I went the location at centerville (now closed) and they were cleaning the grease trap which smelled like ass (and I was pregnant) and I couldn't even eat my food because I could smell it on the chicken . THE LONDON BRIDGE location however was not like that. The ladies in the front were gems! Super sweet. It didn't smell like booty in there and finally after 6 years I can have my occasional fried chicken craving. I will say this... just please fry your fries longer! Thank you so much!

I used to be a local, but now from Ohio. I always make it a point to come here with the family for the best East Carolina pork bbq (must have Cole slaw on it) and puffs. However, now that I have read a bunch of other reviews, I want to try other stuff. Next time. I love this place!

I like the roasted chicken more than the fried but my girl begs to differ lol, all the sides are fire!! And the fried chicken is good I'm just more of a roasted fan I haven't tried to seafood but the greens and the chicken are definitely worth the trip, it's always fresh that you can smell it as you walk up to the joint the grill behind the counter are all really nice and the place is nice and clean give 'em a try!

London Bridge Pollards chicken is The WORST run branch, horrible service, with rude workers. Ordered a catering order 2 weeks in advance of a huge party, easily $300+ order, we were told to pick up the order at 3:30pm today, arrived and waited 50 minutes for the order to be done when they gave us a wait time of 25min. Not only this but the people beside us were asking for a refund for the catering items they were waiting on because they had also been waiting an obscene amount of time, when I asked the worker behind the counter she was condescending and then turned around and called me a bitch to her coworkers loud enough for me to hear, and then continued to talk badly about me so that not only could I hear but so could others in the restaurant, at this point I am dead silent because her behavior is abhorring, she then had an attitude after WE were waiting for near an hour, maybe hire some people who don't have blue and green dyed hair and someone with neck tattoos with nasty attitudes who feel it's appropriate to call their customers a bitch. I asked to speak to a manager who apparently is named Mary and the worker walked away and never came back with a manager. The only person doing her job was wearing a mask and standing at her computer while the others stood in the corner chatting, and being on their phones, I hope yall understand your unprofessionalism.
