Popeye’s Chicken and Biscuits

Good food. Quick drive thru. Never disappoints. The biscuits are way better than KFC. Their shrimp baskets are great too.

First time this year I went here and they messed up my order. Went back again today and the order was messed up too. Took about 20 minutes in the drive thru too. The car 2 ahead of me got their order, then pulled to the exit, then pulled in front of me while I was ordering. They had messed her order up too because I saw a small carton passed to her. The chicken was good, but the wrong stuff. The biscuit was blah, the coleslaw very oniony, and the cajun rice extremely dry and tasteless.

Tastey fast food Chicken in Tremont. $ 6 gets you 3 chicken strips, a side, biscuit and drink. Cheap and warm. About what you expect from fast food.

Popeye’s always has those nice looking commercials that lure you in. I like Cajun food. It looks like you will have a good meal. First of all, they often don’t have the special items they advertise. Don’t ask me why. Also, they are notoriously SLOW in getting the food cooked and ready to go. Don’t let the commercials lure you in.

Who knew that this Popeye’s is operated by progressives who hate Big Oil and obesity? I just found that out tonight.
My wife and I went here for dinner after a hard day of work – we looked forward to a nice, big dinner and some relaxation. We decided to eat in the restaurant. Big mistake. We waited for a LONG time and I watched a long stream of drivers pass through the drive-​thru and get their food long before we got ours. I know we ordered first because there was absolutely nobody in the drive-​thru when we arrived. Maybe I’d be more OK with it if they came out and told me that they did this because the owners of Popeye’s have significant interests in alternative energy and they want to cut down usage of gas or something, but until then I’m going to strike it up to mismanagement and disorganization.
After we finally got our food, we learned that the portions were abysmally small. My wife ordered a three piece chicken dinner, and I almost wonder if something was lost in translation because the size of the pieces of chicken were tantamount to those that come from a Cornish hen. I ordered a Shrimp Po’Boy, and evidently the word «shrimp» referred to the size of the sandwich in addition to the contents of the sandwich. Again, I am all for fighting obesity, but providing dollhouse-​sized pieces of chicken at mansion-​style prices is not the answer.
I really, really don’t want to go to KFC because of the despicable way in which they treat their chickens (as well as the fact that they verbally abused PETA protesters in front of their Cleveland Heights store, and then proceeded to verbally abuse me when I told the employees to leave them alone), but at the same time I don’t want to go back here again. Time to find a new place to get fried chicken around Tremont!

The best fried chicken around Tremont.
