Popeye’s Fried Chicken

I don’t always go to Popeyes but when I do they always forget something. This time it was the banana pudding which I was really looking forward to! I should’ve checked my bag before pulling out but there was a car behind me and you would think if you paid for something you shouldn’t have to check. And of course I realize once I am already home. SIGH
Besides that the chicken is really good, but they are cheap on the fries! Service usually takes forever and a day but they were quick today.

I have never seen so many incompetent people I one place! I only needed to ask 1 question but I wasn’t acknowledged until the 3 Hispanic girls were done gossiping! I finally asked them in Spanish so they would know I understood their discussion but none of them were able to answer it. They went to get the manager… 5 minutes later, a gentleman walks out and doesn’t even address me!!! He goes to the drive through window and mumbles something. I ask him if he is the manager and his response is yes. I ask HIM the question– he says he has to ask the general manager (who by the way is not there)!!!
I told him to forget it.
So disappointed in how certain people should absolutely NOT deal with the public!!!

Love Popeye’s chicken and mash potatoes with gravy, cannot get enough of it! Service here is slow, but they always get the order correct. It is your typical chicken chain with similar side dishes, but Popeye’s has red beans and rice which is a must try southern side dish.

Popeye’s is a hit or miss over here. There isn’t much consistency and that annoys me. One day my chicken will taste like it was fried in golden oil and the next day it will taste like it was forgotten about in the freezer for years. The biscuits will be melting in my mouth one day all warm and buttery and the next day I can use it as a weapon or even crack a tooth.
I love when Popeye’s will have a special promotion going and they’re usually set at a combo price of about $ 5 and that’s when I feel like I’m getting a deal. I love their seasoned fries and the bbq sauce is life.
About sauces though… omg… the employees ration the sauces as if extra sauces are deducted from their paychecks. I literally will be at a standstill in the drive thru arguing about getting more than one sauce for my 5 chicken strips. Same thing with the ketchups or the jelly. If that isn’t a pet peeve of mine then idk what is.
The drive thru here is really painfully slow. what ever happened to their catch phrase «Louisiana. FAST». umm NO. if it wasn’t a «fast food» restaurant I would assume they make every order upon ordering. And make sure to always thoroughly check your bag — I lost count for the amount of times I was missing something and either had to drive back if in close range or just say F it.

I have been to this Popeye’s a few times. It is always busy. It is located next to Hofstra University. They always have sales going on. Today I got the 5 for $ 5.99 promo, 5 pieces of chicken for $ 5.99. The drive thru was very busy and it took almost 10 minutes just to order.
Staff was friendly and professional. Food was good. This is an alternative to McDonald’s, Burger King, etc. I especially like to get the spicy fried chicken. Much better than KFC. I still like Wings N Things better but this is not a bad option.

The spicy fried chicken is okay but could be better. The biscuits are pretty good better then their competitors. Service was terrible employees was rude and more into their cellphones then actual work. I also thought the mash potatoes was alright just didn’t like the gravy.

Food here is terrible most of the chicken is just fried with tons of batter. The spicy chicken isn’t even spicy and sometimes I don’t even eat it because it taste undercooked. The only thing I really enjoy in this fast food restaurant is the biscuit but it’s not enough for me to return hopefully they change up their process.

I had chicken combo 3 pieces. It’s literally half chicken to me. Delicious and juicy. My campus umis next door and I had two years to try it but I never made it not even once. I am glad I made it two weeks after graduation. Late is better than never. Now I can remove it from my wish list.

I never go to this place, however i got a coupon in the mail so the i thought i try it. The chicken was ok, there were a lot of workers but it seems like no one was working, the floor was dirty and the soda fountain where the ice comes out was discussing there was so much mold that i almost threw up. I gave it one start because once i got help, they were nice at the end.

I never really got the big deal about Popeye’s. It always only seemed like overpriced fried chicken to me. This location is next to Hofstra University so they probably get a lot of business from college students who are too lazy to walk to Wings-​N-​Things, which is a few blocks further and also sells fried chicken but at a lower cost. It’s worth it to walk out there, you’ll pay less and get more exercise walking there and back, which is nice since you’ll be eating fatty, highly caloric food.
If you’re going to go to Popeye’s now I recommend the 3 for $ 3.99 deal they’re having. You get 3 chicken tenders, french fries, a biscuit and your choice of one of the six sauces they have. Just be sure to ask for the sauce or they might forget to offer it to you.

This location is by Hofstra University, therefore the price is HIGHER. The food is okay. I prefer KFC. But if you are a healthy person, than go for Popeyes!

I ate Popeyes way too many times during finals. But the skin is oh so crispy and the meat is very juicy. Since my exams are over, I have no excuse for eating junk food!

Our families guilty pleasure!!! Not a lot of Popeyes on long island… WELL worth the drive!!!

Popeye’s chicken is the shiznit

The food isn’t half bad and they’re open until around 4am. They even serve you if you walk through the drive threw

Good junk food when you are in the mood for something unhealthy!

Thank you, Popeyes, for being there for me when I’ve been drinking to the point that my eyes are bigger than my stomach and all I want is some fried chicken.

One of my biggest guilty pleasures. (I dont eat chicken, beef, etc.) The popcorn shrimp is very very tasty. Pass on the fries-​get the mashed potatoes. The free buiscuit is soo scrumptious. And no matter how full you get you’ll always have for the apple pie-​GET 2 FOR $ 1!

I’ll admit something to you all now that I would never admit to say, a new beau. It’s something that I feel I need a certain level of intimacy before I disclose:
Sometimes I rent a car and drive to the Popeyes in Hempstead. (I cover my eyes in shame.)
I know there are locations tucked within the five boroughs, but they just don’t do it for me for two reasons:
1. They don’t have a drive-​through at any of the city locales and whizzing through in a car listening to bad mixed cds that I made when I actually lived at Hofstra University across from said Popeyes is more than half the charm.
2. I don’t know why but their chicken is actually good to me. It’s spicier, tastes fresher and crispier.
I’ve listed Popeyes as a guilty pleasure in various talk threads, but really what I mean is that specifically Popeyes in Hempstead is my guilty pleasure.
If you happen to be out that way, in a car, listening to old mixed cds and feel the need to eat something disgustingly unhealthy I highly suggest making a stop.

Great fried chicken but marred by the crap service.
One of the only Popeye’s out on Long Island (that I know of) I happily drive here to get some of their chicken and biscuits.
The drive through is generally slow and then you really have to double check your order as they almost always short you on something.
