Sardi’s Peruvian Chicken is continuing its expansion in Frederick County with the opening of its second location in the county this weekend.
The restaurant announced it will officially open its newest location at 5722 Buckeystown Pike in Frederick on Sunday, July 12. The new restaurant joins Sardi’s existing Frederick County location at 50 N. McCain Drive.
Sardi’s Pollo A La Brasa was founded in 2008 by Montgomery County cousins Phil E. Sardelis and Phil G. Sardelis. Despite their Greek heritage, the cousins shared a passion for Peruvian cuisine and set out to create a family-friendly restaurant centered around authentic, freshly prepared dishes.
The first Sardi’s opened in Beltsville during the summer of 2008 and quickly became known for its traditional pollo a la brasa, the signature Peruvian rotisserie chicken that originated in Lima in the 1950s. To ensure authenticity, the founders traveled to Peru to recruit experienced chefs.
Since then, Sardi’s has grown into a regional chain serving millions of customers each year with locations throughout Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. The company emphasizes fresh, locally sourced ingredients, traditional Peruvian recipes, and community involvement, including the Sardi’s Scholarship established in honor of co-founder Phil G. Sardelis.
The restaurant’s most recent Montgomery County expansion came with the opening of its fourth county location at 5290 Randolph Road in Loehmann’s Plaza, replacing Toosso Pakistani Kitchen in the former Boston Market space. That restaurant joined Sardi’s existing Montgomery County locations in Gaithersburg, Olney, and Takoma Park.
