Popeyes Famous Fried Chicken & Biscuits

Customer service IS BAD you call and complain nothing ever gets done. IT DOSENT EVEN DESEERVE A STAR. If you dont like your job find aNOTHER customers should not get treated the way i was especially if your paying for something and its food and when you try to get orders corrected the employees get upset and are rude. When you ask who is the manager she is right there in front and letting the employees be rude to paying customers and dosent say anything to them. No one ever smiles & the last visit I had with a coworker the manager said as we left they are not friendly. I work near and now ill be going to the riverside location or not even go at all they suck bad. THEY NEED NEW MANAGMENT ROSEMARY SUCKS AS A MANAGER

5 for this reason: we had a need for a lot of fried chicken fast (like 100 pieces). We asked them on the spot how long it would take. 20 minutes was all it took and they had plenty more fresh chicken to fulfill a further order. Aw yeah…

Worst management! Food was great. Ordered a 3 piece strip and a surf turf combo. The manager rang me up. When I recieved the order it was a 3 piece chicken. When I told her I ordered the strips she did exchange for the correct meal. The problem occured when I realized she didnt give the change for the cheaper meal. The manager when asked about this told me they are the same price. When I disagreed pointing out that the difference on the menu she told me that it was still the same. Now I realize I could have let it go over 53 cents but she then said «anyway you told me the wrong thing». I did finally get the change but it went over the top when she stated «stupid people» to another employee and then went on and on where we could hear her. Manager Rosemary C, you need a serious lesson in how to respect people!

Chicken still great. Getting tired of incomplete order surprise when getting home missing items I paid for.

This place is a piece of shizzle! This review is strictly on the customer service which is HORRIBLE. I have been to this place 3 or 4 times. First time I went they screwed up my order and the people were rude. So I didn’t go for a few months due to that reason. Well after some time went by I did go back because this is the only Popeyes near us. In between that time the service wasn’t bad. I like Popeyes food but they are so darn expensive. Anyway on the night of Sept 2^nd we went to this Popeyes a little after 8pm. I’m sure we were close to closing time but oh well they were still open. Our first choice was Church’s next door but the woman kept us waiting so long we drove next door. Anyway when we pull up the guy that greets us is so rushy. My roomy said we’ll need a minute and he said OK. Not even 10 seconds of me looking at the menu and he asks what we want. Roomy told him again we’ll need more time.
So anyway at this point I’m annoyed and just tell him what I want and we drive to the window. I ordered a 2 piece that came with a side and drink. I didn’t want the drink or biscuit but I ordered an extra side. My order came out to be $ 7.77. I gave him $ 20.77 and was supposed to get $ 13.00 back. Earlier that day the roomy and I had to go to Wal-​Mart to get the rent money order and he had to give me his part of the cable/​internet bill and the Netflix bill. He gave me $ 50 and out of that $ 50 I used a $ 20 to pay for my order. Anyway my roomy was rushing me also and I was trying to count my change. It was dark and I can’t see well due to having a full blown cataract in my right eye and a forming cataract in my left eye. So I handed my roomy the money and he gave it to the rushy cashier. Then the guy hands us the food that wasn’t even in a bag. Just a box with a fork sticking out and we leave. Not knowing we didn’t get the $ 13 back. Now roomy and I were kind of arguing because I didn’t like the fact he was rushing me also and that distracted the both of us. Well yesterday when I went to the bank to deposit the bill money I realized I only had $ 30 in my wallet. We immediately looked in the car for the money and the receipt. Which we didn’t see.
Now I always have my wallet open and any money I get back I immediately put it in my wallet. So I checked my pockets because I thought maybe I put the money in there. No money. So we deposit the $ 30 and head back to the house. I found the receipt on the coffee table and I called this shizzle hole. NOBODY would answer the phone. I called them twice and each time no answer. So I called the corporate office and the lady took a report and requested a refund. We still went down to this location to talk to a manager. Well the idiot cashier when I explained to her the situation just looked at me bug eyed and told another cashier. These people are seriously RUDE and go figure they lack basic English speaking skills (which is all that works in these establishments). Well the manager didn’t even come over to us to hear what happened and just yelled out from the back «your money is right there». And I’m like what are you talking about and she kept saying it until they corrected her that that was not our money. Then she finally walked her loud big ass over and wouldn’t even listen to us. She said «you need to call corporate it is too late and we don’t deal with that». We asked her dumb ass 3 times if she checked the register after closing to see if it was over or under and she denied it was.
But funny thing is she said twice she wasn’t there that night and didn’t do the counting lol. So we asked her well then how would you know the register wasn’t over or under if you weren’t even there. And she said «I turned in the paperwork and it was correct». Lol so she gave us the number to the Austin corporate office and first thing tomorrow I’m gonna call them. I want my TOTAL refund back because this is BS to the fullest. Rest assure I will not go back here. I told my grandma what happened and even she said the times she went to this location they always messed up her order and she stopped going. And for them to be holding someone else’s money means they screwed up an order or overcharged someone else. And was going to give their money to us thinking we were the other people without even listening to us lol. BEWARE is all I’ll say.

I have become a Vegan recently so I only get to eat here once a week now :(
That said, I spend the entire week looking forward to my Thursday Night Spicy Chicken Combo Party Extravaganza. The biscuits and gravy are delicious and Popeye’s serves Pepsi. Coca-​Cola is only ever good when mixed evenly with Jack Daniels. Everyone knows this.
I often eat my meal while watching The Shield on my HDTV. I usually watch King of the Hill when eating meals but that show can be really funny and I don’t want to risk spitting out any of this chicken, yaknow?
I don’t understand people who prefer KFC. Their chicken is bland and I get this weird racist vibe from «Colonel Sanders». I don’t have any proof. It is just a gut instinct. I would look deeper into the matter if the chicken were better, but it is not better. Not even close.
I have heard good things about Church’s chicken but I am an Atheist so I would feel like a hypocrite eating there.
I highly recommend Popeye’s chicken, even to people who don’t live near any of the restaurants.

The chicken was horrible, rubbery, and cold. The restaurant was in bad condition, there were little kids running everywhere, and something on the ceiling kept shooting water at us. Never again.

UUNNHHH!!! Love that chicken from Popeye’s!!! Did someone already say that? Oh well, I’m just trying to keep it real. Cheap, spicy, greasy, gravy, greasy gravy… AND A BISCUIT. Crushin it.

2 weeks in a row I ate fried chicken on Tuesday to compare Popeye’s and Church’s 2 dark meat for .99 Tuesday meal deal and Popeye’s won!
Then when I told my very conservative Daddy on Christmas Day that I wanted Popeye’s to cater my wedding in a barn with a Gospel band he did not think it was funny…
Ah Daddy that would make me your least expensive daughter if I was serious:)

So we got spicy chicken from here and the Church’s next door to compare… Church’s won by default.
Popeye’s screwed up the order and gave us all regular fried chicken, which was awful. We tried Church’s regular fried chicken too and it was also a greasy nausea-​inducing mess.
Unfortunately I can’t remember who had the better mashed potatoes. One place was terrible and one was pretty good. Whoops.

RUDE! I went through the drive in & waited forever for my family meal. We were going to Zilker for a picnic so I asked for plates, napkins, & utensils. I foolishly forgot to look for these items, but had waited so long was ready to go when I finally got my food. We get to the park & we have NOTHING! No plates, napkins, or utensils. It was ridiculous. Plus our food was cold. I called the place to tell them & thought well at least they will offer me something to make up for it. I call & the guy who answers doesn’t speak English very well & was extremely rude to me. I told him the problem & he said «ok». I said what do you mean ok? He HUNG UP ON ME! I called back & I KNOW they had caller ID because they would not pick up. I called back 7 times to speak with a manager & NO ONE picked up, so I have to assume they had caller ID, why would they pick the first time I called & not after? I will NEVER GO TO that place with that rude jerk off! Good food, but I will go to another one. I believe in Karma… it will come back & bite him in the butt. I was so upset to be treated this way.

When ever I need me a fried chicken fix stat, this is where I show up.
3 piece, dark, spicy, combo… red beans and rice… Pepsi. Yup, about as bad for my diet as it can get and yet… ever so good for my soul.
Chicken is always juicy… the biscuits are always buttery… the beans and rice, while pretty much rice with bean paste, is still ever so yummy I scrape the bowl.
Keep yer Colonel, don’t try to take me to Church… this is where my salvation awaits…

A little taste of NOLA on Oltorf and S 1^st. It’s not the healthiest fare available, but it’ll put a smile on your face and win you some points with your old lady.
Facts:
— The ‘red beans and rice’ is a dirty, delicious, lard-​injected mess
— The ‘strips’ are f’in money — spicy, please!
— biscuits, get some biscuits

If you expect some spicy Fried Chicken and Biscuits then you won’t be disappointed. Every couple of months I get that craving and once it starts, it doesn’t stop until I have the Popeye’s box in my hand. I like the red beans and rice. Also, usually their chicken and biscuits are fresh. I notice sometimes I get more than I ordered and I think that they give you extra to get rid of food if it is not selling so quick and will soon get stale.
I like to tell my friends that there is this Cajun restaurant down from my house that they have to try. Popeye’s does the trick.

This is the very worst fast food place I have ever tried. The employees and the manager are rude, totally incompetent, and mean. I tried it three times to give it a chance, since it is in my neighborhood, and each time did not get what I ordered to go. The food is bland and not properly heated. The very last time I was there I asked to talk to the manager about the fact that I did not get what I ordered, and was overcharged, she came to the window, threw my subsequent order into the car and gave me the finger in full view of the other employees. I complained to their customer service line and never heard back. Go to churchs next door.

Popeye’s serves some mighty good crack mashed potatoes. I don’t know what they put it them to make them so smooth and creamy. Actually I do. It’s the same shit on my thighs.
So what?
On my 2 weeks mashed potato diet, I have to give these guys the blue ribbon.
**Applause**

This was stop #2 on Erin’s Junkfood weekend extravaganza. (Not a weekend I will be repeating ever again).
I’m from California. We have KFC and not much else. Popeye’s, I’ve was told, was so much better. Fried Chicken like I’d never tasted. The favored recipe of beyonce and other hollywood stars. So we went. At 10:30 Saturday night. A box of the spicy recipe, some potatoes and coleslaw.
The biscuits? Delicious. Everything else? Ok. Not amazing, not spectacular, ok. Hey, I know what Popeye’s is and I’m no food snob. (OK, at least not all the time). But this isn’t fast food I’ll crave. My pants are greatful for that.

Oh yeah, I’m doin’ it. I’m reviewing a fast-​food joint.
I’ve pretty much sworn off fast-​food in the past couple of months, but nobody does it like Popeye’s. If it’s good enough for Beyonce, it’s good enough for me.
Seriously, I kind of grew up in the New Orleans area and Popeye’s was one of my dad’s favorite things. I remember what a treat it was when he’d bring it home for dinner, or on a weekend afternoon.
On Saturday mornings, Popeye’s was the sponsor for a local kids show and people always got to go with their Brownie troops. Sadly, I don’t think mine ever did. Still, it didn’t stop me from lovin’ that chicken from Popeye’s.
Now it’s MANY years later and Popeye’s is a nationwide chain, and still the best fried chicken I’ve ever eaten. It’s getting to be summer time which means picnics, swimming, lake days, river days, etc. You can bet I’ll be stoppin’ by Popeye’s to pick up boxes of chicken to take along with me.
Perfectly seasoned and crispy, with juicy chicken below that coating that still has great flavor, even if you (gasp) take off the skin. It’s not just the nostalgia for me, it’s the chicken too. Put it in the fridge with a slice of bread in a plastic container (the bread absorbs moisture to keep the chicken from getting soggy) and it’s great leftover the next day as well.
