the best fried chicken I've tasted from a takeout place

So disgusting. Just walking in, I felt like I was wading through grease. I couldn't breathe and the smell was terrible. I couldn't bring myself to eat anything after that, and just left.

I recently ordered 2 piece chicken mixed lunch plate. I asked for the red beans and rice.
I received, a tiny wing and what 'the girl behind the counter described as a thigh'. The thigh, if it was a thigh had to have been divided into 1/2 or 1/3rds by the looks of the bones. If I say that I had about 6 small bites of chicken from both pieces it would be truthful!
The beans were really watery and the rice hard (undercooked).
They charged me 5.94 - this is for the 2 small pieces of chicken, red beans and rice and a biscuit without butter or honey. They had a 30 cent up-charge for the white meat.
This was just about as bad as it gets. I left hungry and feeling stupid!!! Stopped on my way back to the office to pick up a milk shake.
Just so folks reading this don't get the wrong visual image, I am not a gorger. I am not an overeater. I am a small woman. I usually frequent places that have salads and soups. This was one of those days where I was passing by and it sounded good. Used to really like Popeyes. Now they will be just another place I used to go. I did send the company my thoughts on this and still have not heard back. I am not looking for any coupons or compensation in the form of food or anything else, but, feel that if they care about the brand it is in need of some serious re-hab. I see by the complaints that others voiced that I am not alone.
What happened to white meat being defined as a breast and dark meat as a thigh? There was so much chicken cooked ahead and sitting under the warming lights and it was about 1:30 in the afternoon. The lunch rush was past. What were they thinking!?!

They are just a lil too spicey for me. I will eat if if its there, but never like to stop there.

I did not eat there

Its ok but I think I like KFC better :)

No Popeyes where I live

Great, but, too expensive.

never eaten there

This is fine and I always use the leftover sauce for bat repellant.

never been

I got sick here!

My name is Gina Boudreau, I visited your Kennebunk rest stop on Sept.8,08 with 2 gentlemen friends and was sadly disappointed with your closing routine. The time was 8;59 (we know that because of the manager came out and repeatedly told the employees to shut down and throw the remaining chicken away). As I was standing to buy my chicken with my friend Jim, I inquired on getting a deal of half off since they were throwing them anyway. My other friend Joe was in the process of picking a basket of chicken out when the employee took it from him and threw it away. I very loudly told the manager that my friend wanted to buy that and he looked away from me and said again Shut it down. When the manager realized Jim and I were still waiting to pay for ours he didn't know how to handle it. A girl employee told him she still had her draw open so she could take our money.
The saddest part of all, is the waste of food. Had your establishment stayed open for an extra 15 minutes you could have sold all that chicken. They turned away more than 15 customers.
This is only a suggestion, but instead of throwing all that food away offer it to your employees. What a benefit, especially these days with prices so high, the families could enjoy a good chicken meal free.
I do hope you can acknowledge my concern and try to rectify it.

better than Churchs

tastes good but i hate that they give u honey i want ranch

the greastest chicken!!!

The one by me is so busy I feel sorry for the chickens. Everyone around me loves the sides they say they are to die for. Service at the one near me is good they always have chicken ready I never have to wait.

MY FAVORITE.

mmmm I love their bisscuits!!!!

Never had it.

never had it

yumm

mmm biscuits- spicy chicken and cole slaw

My all time FAVORITE

I love chicken yessir

boys like it better

Had it once out of necessity.  I think the food took fourteen minutes off of the end of my life.

The store in Conyers Georgia is terrible. No customer service and the manager is rude. Had a problem with a to go order and got home with the wrong thing. The funny thing about it is we were the only customers in the store. Call from home to talk with the manager and she was very rude, saying so what do you want me to do about it. The attitude she showed on the phone was horrible. She couldn't even speak good English. We should have left before we ordered as all the employees where playing and not working. This is a new store and our first and last time in there. With that customer service and manager it will not last long.

yum!

it alright

I like Popeye's...probably my favorite chicken establishment, largely because of the red beans and rice.

never had it

The chicken and sandwiches are satisfactory, but what really impresses me about Popeye's is the variety of sides. Some of the options are not common to fast food, like red beans and rice. All of the sides are good. The biscuits are tasty but if you analyze them and notice how greasy and heavy they are they become less appetizing.

They are ok...have really good iced tea...actually fresh brewed.

BONER TO THE MAX

best mashed potatoe and fries and chicken and rice

Chicken is rather boring.

I've had it a couple times while travelling in the U.S. and found it a little better than average for fast food chicken. The one outlet I've been to in Canada, however, apparently cooks the chicken in Quaker State 10w30.

Yum. I like Popeye's much better than KFC. I love their chicken strips...with ketchup. =P

The food is always good. They usually get the order right. However, they have been known to be rude.

I like the product but I always have something missing weather I get it in the store or the takeout. Then they write it in the manager book and say that they are going to include it only to find it missing again. I will not return. It is on my way home but not close by so it is inconvenient to go back and hard to take everything apart and check. I think they need to train more in customer service. I will try Churche's chicken which is nearby.

Popeyes sucks!
 Their chicken is too crunchy, and I'll never eat there again.

this food is horrible for you. It is shit

The food is getting more bland as time goes on and I find them to be the most family un-friendly chain of all. None of their locations in the suburbs os IL have baby-changing tables! They DO have highchairs - explain that one?! If you have highchairs, you have babies and toddlers who need to be changed. I had to go to the car to change my son the last 2 times we went to Popeye's because we had him with us and neither the women's or men's washroom had a changing table. I wrote to them about this - we'll see what happens.

They do have a number of locations that are pretty dirty, but the food cant be beaten.  Churchs, KFC, and Bojangles are garbage compared to Popeyes.  The chicken is bursting with flavor no matter what piece you get.  And the biscuits.. ooo mama. they are the kings of biscuits especially when just out of the oven.

The best fast fried chicken I've had. Their spicy chicken is the best. Biscuits are better than KFC. Rice and beans are a good side.

Alton store #164, stopped today. Girls behind counter were rude. They overcharged me $1.00 and when I caught the error, they were mad; didn't know how to fix it. I ordered a lg. red beans/rice and a lg. slaw and 6 pcs of chicken.I look in sack before I leave and have 2 lg. red beans/rice and when I tell them; they argue and say I ordered 2 red beans/rice. She threw the slaw in the sack; when leaving I asked for the manager's name and she said her name was Sara, couldn't give me her last name. Store was dirty, 5 clerks behind counter was dirty and manager was dirty. One lady had sores on both arms, covered in flour, all of them had uncombed hair. I will probably never visit there again. I guess chicken was OK, slaw was OK. What happened to customer service??

I don't remember the chicken, I always get the mashed potatoes and red beans. They are good in a gross way.

As a former Popeye's manager, I can tell you that the food is AWFUL and they treat employee's like crap. Also, there is NOTHING Cajun about this stuff. The mild chicken seasoning is nothing more than MSG and the spicy seasoning is red pepper. Also the shortening used to fry the chicken in has BEEF FAT in it. The chicken is not pressure fried either.

new addition, is that they are doing worse, this time they forgot the biscuits, were dead and still made me wait forever!/When our towns Popeyes first opened several months ago to a year now, I waited till things calmed down with them and finally went and visited their store. The first couple of visits were satisfactory, especially the food! Now I find that their service is declining fast, but the food is still very good as long as you get what you ordered and you don't have to wait forever to get it! I do agree that their chicken, mashed potatos and bisquits are all much better than KFCs and the price is better too!
