I guess I’ve just been living under a rock, but I’ve never had Popeyes. I feel like I’ve been missing out for sure! It’s fast food, understand that, but it’s GOOD fast food! The second I walked in I was greeted with a smile and a genuine«How’s your day?» They kept smiling and made eye contact through out our interaction. I’m sure the job is not glamorous and the pay isn’t stellar, but the employees I talked to made me feel valued and welcomed. Only Chick-fil-a does this better in the fast food world. Maybe it’s a chicken thing. Already in a good mood I got a 4 piece dinner for $ 10. That’s a wing, thigh, breast, and leg along with a side and biscuit. The chicken was juicy on the inside and crispy with a nice spicy flavored breading. The biscuit was thick and dense and very flavorful. Definitely makes the meal. They have the coke machines that have 160 options, so mix and match to make something you love. I’ll definitely be back, excited for a new lunch joint. Check it out!

Fast Courteous drive thru and good hot food NOT greasy. Pay an extra dollar & get another Breast. Make sure you get the BBQ sauce :) Their chicken Bites or nuggets are hands down the best & so are the Bisquits

Not a fast food fan in general but Popeye’s is a definite exception and will now be our go place when we get a craving for fried chicken. Crispy on the outside and moist and delicious inside a nice deal. Their biscuits are scrumptious and the slaw decent as well. Their staff — friendly and efficient and the overall cleanliness impressive. Give them a try for your next fried chicken extravaganza.

1) popeye’s is so delicious and their chicken is so juicy, so it’s amazing. 2) everyone is SO nice at this popeye’s! Everyone is so kind, happy and helpful. So refreshing to go to a fast food place, let alone any restaurant, and be served by such kind people.

Don’t go here. They obviously don’t pay the staff enough because they steal from clients. I was shorted $ 10 in change when I paid. They made me feel like the criminal trying to cheat them and refused to give me the change. The manager acted like I was a liar. Not apologetic at all. Just rude.

Oh, Popeye’s. You truly are the breaker of diets, the clogger of arteries, and the bane of vegetarians everywhere. That’s okay, though — because you have quite possibly the best fast food chicken anywhere, with your food even rivaling most mom & pop chicken joints, even. I swear, this stuff is like crack. Speaking of crack — be careful at this location. It’s not in the best of areas, and on more than one occasion I’ve been approached by local crack addicts /druggies asking for money. They usually go away if you don’t give them anything, but it’s still really unsettling and a tad annoying. I’ve even seen a few hypodermic syringes laying in the parking lot, too — a real classy part of town. Safe enough during the day, I guess. Not much that can be said — it’s a restaurant akin to KFC or McDonalds. You go in, you order, you sit, and you feel sorry for yourself as you bury your face in 4,000 calories of fried chicken and butter soaked biscuts. Those 4,000 calories will be some of the best calories, though. The biscuits are always perfect, coated with butter and surprisingly moist. I don’t know how they make their chicken, but their spicy tenders are always soft and juicy on the inside, crispy as hell on the outside, and have a nice layer of seasoning separating the two parts. Dip that stuff into their spicy mustard sauce, and you’ll never go to KFC ever again.

If I wasn’t positive it would give me a coronary and make me weigh 5,000 lbs I would live on Popeye’s biscuits and sides. Could a diet of macaroni and cheese, fries. mashed potatoes and gravy with bits of meat and buttery flaky biscuits really be that bad? I mean, I’ll make sure to throw in some fried chicken here and there(for protein of course).

I’m the only one who really knows how much I’ve actually eaten at Popeye’s. Sometimes I sit in my car and eat fried chicken and biscuits as fast as I can. Only sometimes, though. But seriously, COME. ON. This shit is addicting. Once the delicate, buttery, hot biscuit hits your lips you’ll know my plight. Oh, you will know.
