Our Story
For over five decades, Pollard's Chicken has been serving the Hampton Roads community with quality home-style food at reasonable prices. Our journey began in 1967 when my father, Clyde W. Pollard, my brother Robert, and I opened "Pollard's Chicken Ranch" in Norfolk, VA. Two years later, we dropped the "Ranch" from our name and became what you know us as - Pollard's Chicken! Our family-oriented business has always prioritized freshness, quality, and customer satisfaction.
Our History
Pollard's Catering was actually started in Elizabeth C. Pollard's kitchen in 1953 (then called Betty Pollard's Catering). My mother was dedicated to serving those around her quality food, and we have incorporated what started in our home to our business. Over the years, we have expanded to nine locations in Hampton Roads, offering full-service catering for events, luncheons, BBQ's, corporate outings, and more.
