Popeye Chicken & Biscuits

What can you say about Popeyes? This location is almost too close to my home and while I rarely eat fast food, Popeyes is always my number 1 choice and number 1 craving. I’ve been to this Popeyes at least semi annually and the food is always good. The drive-​through gal on a recent Saturday evening was so sweet and must have called me «hon» 8 times. I usually order a 2 piece, not spicy with a side of beans and rice. If you’ve had KFC and never had Popeyes I say give it a go. Popeyes is much more flavorful and their chicken pieces aren’t scrawny. The beans and rice has a nice kick as does the cajun gravy that comes with the mashed potatoes. The food is not good for you but SOOOOO good.

For fast food, this place is absurdly good. I’m not a big fast food eater — I am more of a kale smoothie imbiber than a mcfan of any of that stuff — but the other night my boyfriend and I were craving some fried chicken so we headed over to Flatbush Popeye’s.
First of all, I’m glad I went with him. He knows how to order here. Definitely get combo meal so you get thighs in addition to wings, the thighs are transcendent. Their hot peppers are really nice — crunchy, quite spicy, a great complement to any meal. Red beans and rice here are really tasty, I don’t know how they get those beans to taste the way they do (my guess is insane injections of saturated fat and sodium and possibly MSG) but they are certainly delicious. I had the mac and cheese and would put it up against the Kraft variety any day, it was creamier and the cheese sauce had more heft to it.
Overall I thought Popeye’s delivered everything I would ask for in a fast food experience. Minus the ambience inside which was lacking (par for the course). The people working there were nice. I would come again, just not for a while.

While the cashier swiped my card, a customer came up with his order saying that he wanted dark, spicy not white. The young lady took the chicken and put it back under the warmer! No one hesitated or stopped her. I asked for my money back and asked them to cancel my order. The crew had no idea why we changed our minds and the girl even looked annoyed. She was completely oblivious. If they had no idea that this incident was a major health and safety violation, what else is being overlooked? My family and I will not be returning. Disgusting.

Wow Anthony is right on! This chicken is so damn moist and crisply coated. The buttery topped biscuit melts in your mouth. And the French fries weren’t bad either.
I will definitely be back here for visit! That biscuit was moist on the inside with a nice exterior, almost tasted like it had garlic butter on top of it.
I tried the beer can chicken special that was going on and you get a very moist chicken breast that is cut funny so it looks like a hand… which made for more crunchy batter. And you can rip the finger like pieces and dip them into your sauce of choice. Chicken had a lemony, rosemary taste to it.
Can’t wait to try their spicy chicken…

I love Popeye’s Chicken, but a lot more expensive than KFC. If I get chicken in-​store I’ll get my order pretty fast. In the drive –thru I’ll have to wait on the side parking for them to bring out my order, fresh of course, but c’mon 10 minutes?
The interior is clean looking, floors too. But the tables are not cleaned at regular intervals.

My favorite fast food chicken around, but not just for the chicken. The popcorn shrimp and crawfish are always a great treat when they have them. I love that Zatarain’s seasoning they use on the chicken. So much flavor. You can never go wrong with the moist and tender chicken strips from Popeyes. Enough said. Quick, cheap and delicious. I’ll take it over a burger any day.

Still the best fast food chicken around. The sides are pretty good too. Location was clean and tidy. Service was a bit lackluster. Overall a decent meal for $ 6.

I always like Popeyes fried chicken better than KFCs. I think there are a couple reasons.
1) Just the right amount of crispy.
2) The flavoring is less salty and has more zing.
3) Less greasy.
In terms of value, you can always find like a 10 or 11 piece for $ 10 or $ 11 for either Popeyes or KFC. I like KFC’s coleslaw more but Popeyes biscuits more.
Overall: When it comes to fried chicken, this is my personal favorite and I’d choose to eat at Popeyes over KFC like 5:1. There is nothing special about this location but is a safer neighborhood than the other Popeye’s location on Albany Ave.

The food is great. But I always tell them I will not park for my food because I feel if they really are gauranteeing fast service then making me park to ensure their in-​store time is low then they are fakes. I always wait for my food at the window no matter how made they get at me. SO DONT LET THEM TRICK YU INTO THINKIBG YUR EATING AT SONIC LOL. WAIT AT THE WINDOW FOR YUR FOOD CUZ IF NOT YUBWILL BE WAITING FOR HALF AN HOUR.

When it comes to fast food chicken, I say Popeyes beats its competitor! I was amazed to find that they have an actual kitchen, where I’ve seen them do the process of fried chicken cooking from scratch. On a hot day, I saw one of the cooks taking a break in the rear of the restaurant. Behind him you saw other cooks cutting and washing the chicken before they fried it. It may be fast food, but this comes close to home cooking. If they take the time to wash, cut and cook the chicken by hand, then it’s not that fast!
I love the two types of flavors they have for their fries and chicken (mild or spicy), and their biscuits are so yummy, so moist, so flaky. The chicken always seems to be juicy, and the chicken’s fried breading is just right.
Its crazy because at this location you will find swarms of people, and I men people of all walks of life coming in here to enjoy this tasty food. And the service generally is pretty good!
I love me some Popeyes!

Lil’ Nicky said it best… Popeye’s chicken is (bleep)ing awesome!
Once you sink your teeth into the crunchy, salty, fatty, spicy experience that is Popeye’s chicken, you will immediately realize just how incomplete your life has been until this point. The horrendous fast food meals of your past will flash before your eyes, haunting your every thought ever after…
Popeye’s loses points for its sides. Perhaps it’s only because the chicken is so damn good, but there’s really nothing on the sides menu I crave… even the biscuits are subpar.
Also a huge negative: NO healthy options… I mean none. Popeye’s is therefore an occasional treat rather than a regular stop when I need a quick meal. For instance, I just took advantage of their special — 2 pieces of chicken and a biscuit for $ 2.49… 910 calories, and 22 grams of saturated fat (which is almost a day’s allowance).
Still, this location serves a mean mild or spicy chicken, and does it pretty quick. It’s unrepentant crap food for sure, but you’ll be in seventh chicken heaven before you know it.

I usually love Popeyes. But this partcular location is really ran badly. The Chicken consistently comes out greasier and saltier than I ever had down south. The biscuits are dry. Oh and the worst thing ever is they dont offer onion rings. If you dont know about Popeyes onion rings you are missing something great! The manager said he would get them if he saw a demand. So… ASK FOR THEM!!! Atleast the beans and rice are the same. Service is pretty bad also. The truth is you really dont have many options for Awesome fried chicken around here.
Not all chains are created equally.

Better than KFC. That’s basically all you need to know. Greasy like good fried chicken should be, but not so much that the breading sloughs off.
Pretty much your average fast food joint otherwise. Might’ve enjoyed it more had I not ended up spending 45 minutes in traffic after I ordered, and if I’d not forgotten my drink in the restaurant. D’oh!

I have never dined in at this establishment. I end up getting food from here when I’m in a crunch for food at work and have pretty much no options.
I love their Cajun fries. The fries are dirt cheap and portions are huge. I end up filling up on the fries for dinner at times. They always make it to me crispy and crunchy despite being 15 mins plus from my work place. I don’t normally order anything besides the fries but my coworker seem to love their chicken.
The service at this location sucks. Please check your order before leaving the parking lot. If an item is missing and you attempt to call no one will ever pick up. There is no option to leave a voice message either. Even if you try to call the following day at another time the phone seems to ring but still no answer. I work very hard for my money and I expect to get what I paid for. In my situation missing fries is not a major complaint but it peeves me that I didn’t even have a convenient way to voice my concern.

I have never eating at this location and never will because it is a dump. I always pick up. The chicken is ok, I do like the crispy and spicy types they are on par with Louisiane Popeye’s which I would think is what their goal is.
The sides are below average. I have got chunky mashed, dried out mac and day old rolls.
Still some how I am giving them 3-​stars you ask? Well, their chicken really is that good. Sometimes a hit and miss they are hard to figure and even harder to know when they will have their A-​quality food.

Great fried chicken as you would expect from any Popeye’s! Spicy, lightly battered, tender and moist — it hits the spot every time… I knocked it down a star only because they tend to be busy and the service seems slow.
