This place has some descent chicken and pretty good fries. I got 12 piece basket with 2 large sides and 6 biscuits for $ 25. I would have done the 8 piece basket but it only came with one side at $ 16. Prices were kind of expensive, but not too far off KFC. The chicken itself was really crunchy which was good with some pieces but others were almost burnt. Flavor was good, but not as good as KFC. It just wasn’t seasoned as much as I expected. The Mac and cheese was pretty good and cheesy. Once I sprinkled a bit of salt it was spot on. The fries were the star. They were crunched and had a pop to them. Super good. But then there are the biscuits. They were like a brick. Not as in hard, but like you took a biscuit and drowned it in butter, and then compacted it. I almost felt like I was eating a butter ball. Overall, I have to compare this place to the other king of fried chicken and that’s KFC. While it was good, during eating the food I felt like I wish I had KFC. So it’s a good variation, it’s not my top choice.

No Wi-Fi. There’s a lot of people pissed off and waiting for their order. Coworkers are tripping over each other. It would have been nice to have a little flag with me that I could have waved to get somebody’s attention to ask where their straws are.

My favorite fast food place for chicken and popcorn shrimp! Way better than KFC. I decided to try the fried fish from here since I heard good things about it. Not sure if I was supposed to get more than one piece of fish but that’s what I received. They were very fast but the food tasted great and like it was fried right away.

Good food, but there are times they are very slow. It took 10 minutes to get my order and I know others waited longer.

Great chicken, if you can get it. I’ll drive out of my way to go here on my lunch break, but the last 7 – 8 times I’ve been here, I was told that it’d be a 20 – 30 minute wait. I forgave it the first couple times, thinking I had hit it on a busy part of the day. But, I started trying to get some before work, at 1pm, after work, 9 pm, rush hour, 5pm, and it never made a difference… EVERYTIME I was told that I’d need to wait longer than my job allowed. I order Spicy Dark, so I don’t know if that’s an unusual request, but for a chicken place offering 4 options,(spicy, mild, white, dark) I thought they’d be able to handle keeping it stocked up. It never mattered whether I wanted a 2 piece meal, or a 16 piece bucket. If I have a craving for Popeyes Chicken, it’s better to drive to the KFC on 9th than go back to work hungry, even though it’s an inferior product, at least I get what I ask for.

Honest truth, this is my favorite fried chicken joint in town. They make their chicken here very good, it is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. They are so much better than the KFCs I’ve been to in the area. Popeyes is pricier than KFC I believe, but not by much and is definitely worth it. Their sides are great as well. Parking for this location is plentiful, the staff is friendly, and the restaurant is never overcrowded.

Wow! Another great meal from Popeyes. I have always loved the spicy chicken on the bone, but now I’m ordering the mild tenders and pairing it up with all the great dipping sauces. Love the red beans and rice, by far the best you can find in town. Make sure to get an extra biscuit with your meal to save you the trip back up after ordering. The crew is great too, friendly and fast with my order almost every time.
