With the opening of the Peri-Peri Original restaurant, many people have strong beliefs when it comes to the food, service, and overall quality. I checked out the brand-new restaurant, and in my honest opinion, I was very impressed. I had multiple meals there, the first one consisting of just onion rings and waffle fries. The onion rings were very crunchy, and very large, and the portion sizes were huge. Both food choices offer plenty of food, and one medium size is enough to share with the whole table. The waffle fries were delicious, and my all-time favorite choice, and pairs well with their signature sauce. 

    On my second trip to the restaurant, I ordered the Golden Crunch sandwich, while someone else I had lunch with ordered their chicken strips. The golden crunch sandwich had their signature sauce on it, which I believed to be delicious, and full of flavor. The sauce can go with anything at the restaurant, so I dipped the chicken strips in it. It was almost comparable to “Chick-Fil-a’s” chicken nuggets, but with a bit more crunch. The chicken was perfect inside and has a serving size that will most definitely fill you up. 

    I am not the only person with such an amazing experience, according to the sophomore Jada Martinez, “I thought it was delicious. I got some pineapple sandwich thing, with a pineapple drink. I would definitely go there again.” Jada is not the only one with a positive review. Sophomore Bria Williams stated, “The food was really good. It did take a while to come out though, but the service was good too. They really helped us figure out what we wanted to eat.”

    Lachlan Bredahl, who is also a Freshman stated, “I thought that the experience at Peri Peri was extremely nice, except for the no refillable drinks.” This I agreed with, due to how they only serve cans and bottles as of right now, if you are in need of a soft drink. They do, however, have milkshakes that are made in house. They have a variety of options, like Ferrero Rocher, Oreo, mango, and vanilla. 

    In my honest opinion, I think Peri-Peri Original is a great restaurant if you want something fast and easy, and if you’re sick of going through McDonald’s or Chick-Fil-A’s .drive-thru’s. The prices of a good meal are very reasonable, and perfect if you have a budget but still want good quality food.
