Popeye’s

2^nd visit in 3 years and i dont feel the need to go back. This visit was a second chance. The first time i was there the place was loud and dirty, but the food and service was «acceptable». This time, the food was «acceptable»… But the service was SLOWWWWW and the two teenagers at the counter were not at all concerned with work. More concerned with fixing their cars than serving the few customers that dared to visit this place. At least it is clean inside. I’ll spend my money at a local mom and pop shop, or one of the 50 other eateries in this town.

Very slow. Ordered $ 50 of food via drive thru and took almost 15 min. Drove all the way home and found out they didn’t include our biscuits. Staff was polite and extremely apologetic. Maybe they just got slammed right when we got there, I dunno.

Sigh… Under new management mean they only have half of what’s on the menu! The food taste like it’s been sitting under a heat lamp for some time. Staff was extremely apologetic. I see this fast food establishment closing soon.

This location is okay. The service is okay and the food is alright. They do nickel and dime on the sauce though. Not a fan of spending $ 25 on fried chicken and I have to add a dollar to add 2 sauces. Huh?
Anyway, besides that the place is okay. I go on occasion when I’m craving cajun fried chicken. Otherwise, I go to one of the other 50 restaurants around 309.
Enjoy guys!

Stopped in to try it out. Ordered a fried chicken wrap combo.
I’d go back again.

So last night was my first time trying Popeye’s. Picked up some regular fried chicken, spicy fried chicken, fries, mashed potatoes, slaw, biscuits and mac and cheese.
The chicken did not blow me away. The most noticeably thing about the fried chicken is the crust. There was an excessive amount of a coarse breading. My first thought was they mix Panko in with the flour. What ever it is, it’s too much. I’ve been getting down with some fried chicken for many years, cooking it and eating it. For me, the chicken was super crispy for the sake of being super crispy. There is a Zen like balance to flavorful crust and juicy chicken that wasn’t achieved here.
I was pretty happy with the biscuits, light with a great buttery taste. The french fries are awesome, and you get a bag that 4 people can share for less than 2 dollars.
Mashed potatoes were strangely reminiscent of KFC, the mac and cheese was as I expected and the slaw was eh, my wife thought the slaw was good.
Honestly, this food would really hit the spot around midnight after a solid night of drinking. We’ll be back, not too soon, but we’ll be back.
