Popeyes

Someone was hungry and wanted Popeye Chicken on way to airport. Chicken tasted as good as other fried chickens. Location: Chamberlayne Avenue, Richmond is located in depressed area with many homeless persons wandering outside. A homeless looking person inside restaurant also smelled badly. I think if I had my family with small kids then I might not eat here. Not as bad as SF civic center but you hate to see such persons while trying to eat.

I love Popeye’s fried chicken, it’s about as good as it gets in terms of fast-​food on-​the-​bone chicken. That said, avoid this location like the plague.
The actual restaurant is in good shape and has been redone recently. Additionally, their food lives up to the par set by most Popeye’s locations. The staff and the surrounding environs of this place, however, make it worth avoiding. This location isn’t in a good area: plenty of people having conversations with themselves walking around, some of which will occasionally come in and sit down in Popeye’s to continue their soliloquies, so have fun with that. On top of that, service staff here are some of the worst in the area, don’t listen to your order the first time thus requiring you to repeat it, and act surly when you ask a question regarding the menu. There are far too many good people out of work to keep lousy employees like these.
Bottom line, Popeye’s has great food, just don’t make the mistake of going to this particular location.
Overall: 2.0 stars

apparently not all Popeye’s are the same, I came to realize this when I noticed they are a large corporation. I believe the popey’s at this location might be undercooked at times which is was caused the food born illness in both my brother and I since we normally have stomachs of steel.

I’m not a big fan of chain fried chicken restaurants but Popeye’s Chicken & Biscuits is tasty. The chicken strips are my favorite. The chicken strips are crispy, moist meat and flavorful. Popeye’s has some really good dipping sauces as well. The sides are delicious. I usually go with the dirty rice or Cajun fries. The biscuits are soft and buttery. The Mardi Gras cheesecake is average. The service is usually hit or miss. The employees are usually friendly. Always check your order to make sure its right. If you want fried chicken, Popeye’s Chicken & Biscuits is a good choice. I give Popeye’s Chicken & Biscuits a 3.5 rating.

Red Beans and rice is the star. This particular place was clean and the manager Was very friendly and accommodating.

Popeye’s has great chicken, but the sides are the real stars. I can’t get enough of their dirty rice — dy-​no-​mite!
