Food was awesome. Whenever we go always order fully grilled chicken nd fries. The place is always clean and staff is very friendly.
Dirty place. Men’s bathroom was filthy.. tables were sticky, the pop had no syrup in it.. 1/2 chicken dinner?? No.. lucky if it is actually a 1/4 chicken. Chicken was salty , and dry. Fries, coleslaw and the veggies were good.
We came here for the first time ever and were excited to try the food.. Unfortunately, we were very very disappointed! They claim that the chicken is made to order but I had the chicken burger and it was literally reheated chicken breast that was served freezing cold. WORST CHICKEN SANDWICH I HAVE EVER HAD! We also got the half chicken - it was a great portion side but again it was just reheated and slapped onto the grill to get the markings. It was very dry and we couldn’t even cut through it. The sauce had no flavour. The fries were the only edible thing.. and even they were too salty!
Ordered side of grilled veggies. They were steamed! You can tell the difference when veggies are grilled or steamed. No grill marks, watery taste. Even when I brought it to stuff there she stated they grilled veggies but the dishes itself was proving otherwise. The choice of veggies was awful: broccoli, cauliflower, celery and onions....what happened to the carrots, the zucchini, the peppers? I used to love their grilled veggies before but now it has changed to steamed broccoli, cauliflower and celery. I ordered a Portuguese tart. Lady brought it and I was surprised when she tells me " be careful, it's really hot!". I'm a Portuguese tart lover and never ever I have been served a boiling hot Portuguese tart! The custard was so hot it was dangerous to put it in your mouth ( good thing she said it). The flaky, crunchy pastry wasn't there anymore, it was goey, sogey because of that heat. Even when you bake a Portuguese tart, out of the oven you get that crunchiness. I brought it to her attention, advices you don't do that with a Portuguese tart and explained all above. She then said they are frozen and they have to put it in oven ( that's what they have been told). That explains it! When I was leaving I approached " looked like a more experienced lady there from the staff" just to advise on the issues. Told her - Peri Fries where tooo salty just be careful. Her answer: is the salt, is the way. I said ok, just put less. She re-afirmed:" is the spice is salty". I just left it there. Told her about the veggies - her answer was "they were grilled" . I told her they were not, you can tell and moved to the third issue The Portuguese tart you don't serve that hot, she then tells the other lady didn't know but that the Portuguese tart was fresh out of the oven!? And added that's what they have been told to do. I just left the place disappointed not only because of some food issues, which is ok, things happen. But the interaction with the staff, the excuses, the different information when brought the issues was a waste of time and really bother me.
Food was delicious. We ordered the family meal for 3. Great pricing and portions.Anita was very nice and helpful at the cash while helping us take the order.
The place looked good. Got the Peri-Peri Chicken Sandwich(supa peri-extreme spicy) as per their spice level with the Cheese and Yam Fries but the taste was not at all good. Had to pay extra for cheese. Moreover Yam Fries does not come with the Chipotle sauce like every other place and one has to pay extra. Service was good though. Not recommended.
Absolutely delicious food and service. We had no idea they would be so good and that there were so many locations. The service was fast, the chicken was fresh, hot and delicious. We look forward to trying one of their locations closer to home.
Chicken was ok. We asked the whole chicken family .The peri fries had too much salt. The grilled vegetable were steamed , barely grilled. The cheese cake was actually frozen ice cream , garlic bread was regular, the table was sticky , portion size were large, service was fast. Price is ok.
Fantastic dining experience with good customer service and delicious, beautifully presented dishes.
Good portions
The most delicious dinner! Service was great as well!
Offers a fantastic dining experience with delicious food and friendly, attentive service.
on my recent visit to Barcelos, food was very good and perfect portions. It came quick and service was good too by the front staff. Will be definitely back to this location. Restaurant was neat and clean too.
The chicken is to die for
Friendly staff, and good chicken. Always recommended for a quick bite to eat or dine in! Try out all the sauces!
A favorite stop. Always the best service and good food
Food was good, generous portions and friendly staff. Will be back again.
GREAT FLAVOUR
The quality of the chicken is consistently high and it is always well seasoned. The service from the owner and staff is great.
Awesome food and nice staff
For fadt food this is delicious, not deep fried and I love their salads. A fav quick meal thats very tasty and not loaded with calories.
The food here is just wow and there service is quick really liked the atmosphere here and food as well.
They serve halal chicken only. Got the family pack with the 2 whole chicken meal. Chicken was very good, but the side portions were very small. Especially for 6 people. The portion of the chicken was good.
Food is delicious. Good service
I love eating chicken here.
Fantastic food and great prices. Service was top notch
The food is awesome. Chicken - amazing! Peri fries are always hot and crispy! Their family packs are a great value. We can feed our all-adult family of 6 for less than $90! Ample portions and selections of sides. Feels like a feast every time. Oh and the staff are super as well. Lots of choices for spacious seating, with a couple screens to watch hockey game. We love Barcelos! Kid-friendliness: A quiet atmosphere with plenty of seating. Spacious, with a family bathroom. Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level with a ramp to the front door!
Halal food
Great food and great service, we re definitely coming back!
Ordered take out many times. To go place for something healthy.
Arguably the best grilled chicken in town.
Amazing service, friendly staff and very clean.
Amazing vibes and staff and delicious food!!
Food is so good, always consistent and delicious. Great service, my go to spot few times a month.
Love the tangy Chicken Wings & Liver. Excellent service. Thank you Roopi & the excellent cooks there.
Nicely set up, reasonably new place, good staff and good food. The chicken is very good, moist, tender and juicy. Cooked to perfection for me. The extra hot flavours were not as good as they could be, more heat than taste, but the extra hot sauce on the table was just right. The coleslaw and fries were good sized and tasty. Good prices and bottomless pop from one of those new multiple flavours of everything Coke machines. Overall, excellent, and would definitely go back there.
Have eaten here many times. Always a terrific dining experience; simply great food and friendly service, at an affordable price. Handsome modern restaurant, large booths, tables and chairs. super atmosphere. Awesome chefs and servers. One of Abbotsfords best eating spots. Parking: parking is generous and convenient. Kid-friendliness: The restaurant is modern with booths large enough for small families. Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant and its washrooms are accessible (and very clean!!)
Great place to eat anytime of the day. The chicken in always great quality and the people are nice and respectful. The food is quick for takeout and the take in service is always delightful. If you want somewhere calm and not busy come here.
Really tasty food and great staff. Definitely take your family and friends here and you wont be disappointed.
Chicken was delicious and the sweet potato fries were some of the best Ive ever had. Rice was way too salty though, first time eating here so maybe it is not usually like that. Still good and would go back!
Delicious food. Very good service. I highly recommend this place. It is a Portuguese Peri Peri chicken shop. Very close to the well known Portuguese chain Nandoos. Food : 5/5
Very tasty flame grilled chicken.
Best
The ambience was great. The food was good too Espetada 8/10 Peri Plate 9/10 The rice is unflavoured though rest everything is fine. The paintings and contemporary art work gives you a glimpse of Portuguese.
The grilled chicken wings and legs taste great
Always a delicious meal, and decent pricing for amount and quality of food. The Peri chicken Caesar wrap is always a go to, but the Prego steak sandwich is a great alternative if you re not feeling like chicken!
Second time buying from them but the chicken is the worst. Wil stick to nandos. Even when I explained on Uber eats notes to make my chicken dry not too juicy or runny the my went ahead and did the same as if the chicke is it ready. You need better cooks or more training guys. Soooo disappointed the second time. SMH Food
Very good experiences here. Keep up the great work.
Very tasty chicken love the peri peri sauce
The chicken was good, but the sides were very plain (the rice and the mashed potatoes). Was surprised that the mashed potatoes were priced as a premium side. Service was great as well as the atmosphere. Food
We had a family meal, chicken was delicious as always, and the sides were very good as well. This place is always consistently good.
Hands down best chicken around!
I tried the Peri sandwich and fries. It was average. I wouldnt say any part of it really impressed me. But, Ive definitely had worse.
Often ordered barcelos at our workplace for staff lunch. Affordable packages, great food.
Good food and quick service. Would recommend 10/10.
Busy
Great for lunch
Food snd service was great but You should look after cleaning dirty plates off tables faster
Very expensive.... Small portions
Very tasty indeed
Everything was delicious. Great customer service
Food is great 10/10
The Chicken was perfectly cooked. The sides (veg, fries, rice) were all excellent as well. Great value overall...very impressed!!
Chicken is fantastic! This place is clean, washrooms are well maintained and the staff are warm and friendly.
Friendly and quick service, and tasty food. Good spot to stop for a quick bite when in Abbotsford or driving by.
Very nice people, always polite and very generous. Barcelos abbotsford is Always fresh and the restaurant is so clean I really appreciate the staff for always treating me like family. Beautiful restaurant. Thank you for always accommodating me and my family.
Good service and decent food. Like to dine in here.
Delicious food, friendly staff!!
Food is good but the grill chicken pretty tough.
Superb food. Good quantity for price and quality aas amazing. Taste was good as well. Will recommend.
Marvelous food in here its a must when I visit the town
Not as good as nandos
Soooo delicious....this is the first restaurant in Canada that could actually match my spice level. I literally could have Barcelos every single day but unfortunately they dont have tiffin service. But anyways amazing, goodjob ..
Love this place cant beat the grill chicken flavor
Love their food. So well done and tasty. Wish there was one in Chilliwack
Tasty food. Social distancing too.
Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Service is quick and the chicken is always delicious and fresh.
The chicken is always very tasty and a fair value.
Amazing place love the family supreme very peri all the way the guys a great and the girls are fantastic
Great food and staff are friendly.
Never order Chicken Caesar salad from here. They packaged up brown lettuce that was terribly past it expiration date. Not worth $11. Restaurant was not able to help as order was thru Skip.
Horrible experience. I ve had food from Barcelos in Guildford numerous times and it was always amazing! This place is the exact opposite. They delivered what looked like someone else s Caesar salad left overs from the previous day (barf). There was about 4 small little leaves of rotten lettuce and some chicken that had zero spice on it. The container it came in was incredibly small (the portion wouldn t have even filled a small coffee mug). It cost $11. When we initially called he said that s how it comes! I honestly am blown away that they thought it was ok to send it in that condition! AVOID. Don t waste ur money.
Great place... delicious chicken. The spice is real!
Great food
Decent food. Chicken was very tasty as well as the kebab. Whatever you do don t go for the baked potato ($3). They literally just hand you a warm potato. The wings were very good but were too bony (had a lot of bones). Great customer service and clean bathrooms! The Peri fries aren t as good as Nandos and taste more like regular fries. They also serve halal chicken which is a great positive, although not all their chicken/meat is halal. How much time should you spend here: 20 mins takeout. Pricing: $$$/$$$$ Parking Situation: Free parking is available onsite
Great food, great staff, great prices
The food here is consistently amazing. Fresh ingredients, well prepared and delicious. I am always satisfied when I eat here. Such good tasting fluffy rice. Chicken is amazing.
Great chicken caesar pita and peri fries!
Chickens were cooked just right
Always amazing!
Good food, and good service
Always love coming here to order in or out! Staff are extremely nice and kind. Very clean environment! Food has always been really good. I recommend their chicken Caesar wrap and fries!
Love the cauliflower bites. Our favourite chicken!
Always love their peri peri.. Barcelos is a monthly affair for me love this place.
Went here on Saturday for the first time and we loved it! Delicious chicken, great service owners were very accommodating and the place was very clean. We will be back!

Best chickin in town

Delicious Chicken, well cooked on the grill with the right amount of spice and excellent seasoning! Ill have to come back to try the rest of their menu sooner than later!
Great chicken meals. Healthy but a little expensive for seniors.
Love Barcelos. Great food, great atmosphere. The place is always clean and the customer service is top notch also. Excellent food
Food was delicious and fresh , chicken was sooo tender . Great spot , would recommend without doubt.
Excellent service. Out of the way quiet. Good food. Nice ambiance.
Great food. Good service. Stopped in before flying home. Had the chicken kabob. Very tasty. I will have to stop in again next time I am flying home. Two weeks later. I am back again. Had the same as last time. Great service. Great food!
The chicken was awesome. I was hoping the new popeyes was open but it was not and so I decided to try this place. We were both pleasantly surprised at how good it was.
This is a Portuguese themed cuisine restaurant dishing out succulent, juicy and spicy meat dishes! The ambience is nice with well-spread out tables. Sitting right at Mt.Lehman, this place has ample free parking around. The restaurant is decorated by brightly colored Portuguese local art and paintings. We had double kebab, veggie burger and peri peri fries. The kebab was spicy, juicy and well-cooked. The veggie burger is decent and can be tried once. You must try peri peri fries! A nice restaurant to visit with your family.
Great food and service

First time eating there, very good food.
WAnna play criket
Great food good staff good access
Good food, great service.
Consistent food taste and quality. A little on the pricey side.. but look out for coupons in the mail and newspaper. I like their Peri Fries, when they are nice and hot! Wouldnt recommend the chicken sandwich. Not juicy. And such a small thin sliver of chicken
Great place to eat with family and friends.
Lots of space for large group, good customer service, kids menu, delicious and healthy foods. Did I say large portions too. I tried the PeriChicken Stir fry. Muaah.
Food was excellent. So moist and flavors awesome!
It was our first visit there. Service was great and the food was delicious. Well be going again.
Very nice place to eat chicken was excellent service was great as well nice touch on the plates and utensils
Good food, good service
Great food. Friendly service
Great Chicken. I get the double leg meal with 2 sides. I get it supa peri (HOT). Fries are done right. Side salad with Portuguese dressing is very good. Wings are good too. The owners are pleasant to talk to and very welcoming. Highly recommend.
Cannot believe how AnaZinnng there chicken is!! Melted in my mouth! For sure my #1 place to go for chicken!
Fast take out, great food. $20 for a full meal and healthier than other options
I love their food
What a great discovery - hadnt heard of them before and just stopped in for casual dinner driving by. Nice atmosphere half-way between fast-food and sit down service. Felt like they were handling the covid protocols really well. But the main thing was the food--what an incredible flavour experience! So many options for how to build your meal - absolutely loved it!
food very tastie. enjoyable peoples
Great as usual.
Wish they gave more rice and salad lol
nice place, welcoming staff,good place to sit and dine in with easy accessibility and spacious parking .. food is like every barcelos
Great food, great service. Great people. Owners are always pleasant to talk to...they treat you like family. I like how they know our order before we actually order. Highly recommend.
Good chicken for a decent price and reasonable price.
Real nice and cozy place with tasty food. Offers value for money.
Love it
Very nice chicken and friendly staff.
Been here many times, always great!!!!
Chicken sandwich with a fried egg. Nobody will miss that other portuguese chicken place.
Delicious food.
I ordered barcelos vegetable stir fry yesterday and all of sudden i got sick after eating some little proportion of my food .I have no allergies and also ordered same food from different restaurant but I was all ok a day before.
I ve been in Abotsford, BC branch and it was great. Clean and friendly staff.
Larger portions than Nandos .
Love this place. Good food, fast service. Staff is friendly.
Great food
I found this place after my gym started advertising it. This place is great for a postworkout meal or any healthy meal to be honest. Everything is grilled and theres so many options to choose from. It tastes delicious too and saves me from having to make food at the end of the night. So happy to have found this place!
Very nice place chicken was great and server was very nice and also I will go back
Great food
Awesome place for delicious chicken. Strongly recommended.
Lives up to the standard that the chain set in calgary.
Nice and big space out isles cheap
I just go in here with my aunt to swap out prints that people can bid on. Its never really that busy in there but the employees are always very nice and let us use the bathrooms if we need to. I wonder if Barcelos is as good or better than Nandos Ill have to try them one day
Tasty meal and great customer service.
I love the sauce they use on their chicken. Absolutely delicious. The only complaints I have are the chicken tends to be dry and the lettuce in the salads dont seem to be too fresh. Ive always had wilted lettuce in my salads everytime time Ive visited.
Very tasty and juicy grilled chicken! Like it
Would prefer if the cooks wore gloves, not very hygienic otherwise.
Amazing experience all around. Food was great. Chicken had lots of flavour and wasn t dried out at all. Service was great. The lady taking our order at the front counter knew all about the allergens and made great suggestions. She came and checked on us half way through our meal to make sure we had everything we needed. Would totally go again.
Quality Portuguese food .. awesome Better than Nandos Piri piri Keep it up guys great job ..
Food tastes amazing! One of my favorite places to eat and the service is good
