Pow Chicks

Anyone walking into Pow Chicks unprepared might think it’s a long-standing American franchise – but it’s actually a homegrown concept with a very recent story. After two years serving chicken burgers from a dark kitchen in Alvalade, the first physical space opened in Campo Pequeno in 2025, followed by a second in Estoril, right by the Casino gardens, in 2026. The look is retro, with a vibe straight out of 1950s and ’60s American diners. The menu keeps things focused, with five chicken burgers, all made from deboned thigh, seasoned, hand-breaded and fried to order. The Pow Chick’s stacks cheddar, bacon and pickles with a house sauce, while the Hot Honey Chick’s plays on the contrast between spicy honey and pow mayo. On the side, expect fries and a line-up of snacks – cheese balls, chicken bites, jalapeño cheese and mac and cheese balls. Drinks lean into milkshakes, while dessert is all about cookies, from red velvet to classic chocolate.
