Popeyes

Same as the other reviews: be prepared to wait a long time when you come here. Adding to the frustration, the people who operate the drive through are very difficult to understand. I never understand why these places put people with poor language skills behind microphones.

My youngest daughter wanted to try this place so bad… What a disappointment! We paid almost $ 40.00 for bland crappy food. The employees are rude and don’t want to try to assist you at all. If the rest of Popeyes are like this one then the commercials are false advertising their products. It would take me FOREVER to tell you just how bad my family’s experience was today. From dealing with the cashier named Emi at the location. Then calling and trying to talk to Irene the management on duty who refused to give me corporates information because she said she was to busy. I was sitting outside at that time. They had one car in drive-​thru and one in the parking lot. It was our first and our last time there. We will be letting others know not to go there. They are overpriced and the food is cold, bland and portions are small. KFC has better bang for your buck. Don’t waste you time or your money.

I used to think god wasn’t real. Then I had Popeyes! Every bite felt like I was one crunch closer to nirvana. The spice blend in the gravy felt more right than anything I’ve encountered in my years of life. The surf n turf meal came with minimal shrimp but after being simply forced to buy a «tacklebox» meal to satisfy my shrimp needs I felt rather pleased with my 9pm dinner and ecstatic to be blessed with another biscuit to smother with honey. My lady and I were very happy we made the spontaneous decision to detour to Popeyes as opposed to the casino as planned! I’mma keep doin’ me, Popeyes, you keep doin’ you

You must give this Popeye’s location credit. They sell the highest ratio of breaking to protein humanly possible. Their «popcorn ‘shrimp’» is vastly more volume of dry breading than shrimp. And their shrimp are so tiny that many of them could fit thru the eye of a darning needle. Grade «F.»
The catfish component of the combo I had contained a reasonable portion of fish, but the over fried breading coupled with too much salt made it hard to finish the three small pieces. Grade «D.»
My decision to have «fish» was a very foolish one. Popeye’s needed to more correctly advertise crispy breading with some dried protein. My gosh, the tiny shrimp had the consistency of leather shoelaces!
Stick with the chicken pieces, I think.

Godawful joint. Unless you enjoy expensive tasteless «sea food», don’t go here. It’s nothing to savor. 30 – 40 sized shrimp deep fried, which comes to you covered with little crunchy particles of batter. Cole slaw terrible. Really, it’s shit. The food comes in a small container half the size of a shoe box. For the price, go buy yourself a couple of pounds of REAL prawns, make a little pasta and eat with taste.

«Can you park please.» is becoming this locations catch phrase, and I am tired of waiting ten minutes to a «fast food» place. I come here once a week because it is on the way home on the night that I am out late, and over the last several months I have had consistently poor service. It seems like the fries are never ready, and yet when I do get them they are usually cold. They get my order wrong sometimes and I have to go back, and they barely even apologize or offer me anything for my time. The food itself is usually good, but sometimes it is cold and sometimes they will give you the wrong thing.
I like Popeyes as a whole, but this place has th same problems consistently. I think it is a training location, but still it seems like they aren’t being trained in the right things.

I think they have screwed up my order more than they have gotten it right!!! I love their chicken but ordering here is like playing Russian Roulette. And you will have to wait… a long time. To their credit though I have never received dried out crap chicken like I have at the NE Portland locations though — everything is always cooked well… it is just that your order takes forever no matter what time of day or night and you need to look to make sure they gave you what you ordered including sauces and such.

I have gone here quite a bit since it opened a few years ago. The last 3 time I have gone to this restaurant (in November), the chicken is old, overcooked, dry and grey with this white pussy crud in it. I am very disappointed in the quality lately, and do not think it is worth another chance. The employees are great but they need to cook smaller batches so it is not several hours old when you get it. Save you money and go where your chicken has not been sitting until it becomes green grey jerky. I do not know if they have a new cook but this is only a recent thing with them as in the past it was a 4+ star. I hope they can turn it around 15 bucks for garbage, even our dogs horked it up… I called and they said they would replace the food with fresh, I will keep you posted on the results…

Food. Good. Chicken. Great. Boneless. Amazing. Sides. Good. Popeye would be proud. Eat.

I love Popeyes their food is amazing for fast food. It’s just too bad that this specific location is terrible, not the food though BUT the people.
Every time I’ve gone there they’ve messed up on my order. The first time I went there I asked for dark meat they gave me breast meat and some wings. Uh no. I returned it and asked for the right pieces I got a look from the worker like I was crazy. The second time it happened again! I again got the crazy look and the worker said with an attitude were not allowed to take those back I left it sitting there til he gave me the right pieces. Is the job that hard though? The third time which happened to be tonight all I asked for was a simple 8 piece meal with dark meat the girl at the speaker box made it sound like it was the most difficult order she’d ever heard. We got it figured out eventually, I also ordered a gallon of their sweet tea because I love their tea the girl at the window told me to wait in front for someone to drop it off to me. I waited for 10 minutes no one ever came I finally go in give me receipt to the worker and he had to ask me twice if I wanted sweet tea I said YES SWEET TEA. There are no labels on the gallon so I go home with it trusting that he knew he got it right. NOPE! I got unsweetened tea like I DIDNT ask for.
I just don’t get it they’ve been at that location for quite some time and they just can’t get it right. I used to be the GM for a KFC so I know how this business works, their jobs aren’t that hard. It’s just too bad that their service sucks because I love Popeyes but I’ll never come back here after 3 times of messing up.

Fast food. Not my usual review thing, but I will admit I’m a sucker for a shrimp PoBoy! The staff was super friendly. And quick to offer my daughter a sample to make sure it wasn’t too spicy for her. The dining room area was really clean!
This is a fast food chicken place that specializes in «Louisiana» style chicken. Which by their estimation means spicy. And for fast food chicken, it’s not terrible. I like the spice. Kids were ok with the popcorn shrimp and mild chicken tenders. They also had the Mac and cheese and had no complaints. While I don’t like the stuff, they did, even though it seemed like the consistency looked a bit off.
The popcorn shrimp is nothing crazy, but they are decent. Biscuits are way better than KFC. And the chicken wasn’t super greasy either. However, my fries were pretty cold. And the seasoned green beans, kinda soupy. The place is a guilty pleasure of myne as I like their fries (normally, and hot). Also their specials can’t be beat, sorry colonel. I would say there aren’t enough NON spicy things for kids. But I’ll always come by if I’m solo for a quick lunch.

Hey, y’all. This is bomb-​diggity! Coronal Sanders is glad that «he deeeade». The chicken isn’t greasy and the mashed taters don’t taste like baby food.
This beach was a sparkling example of extreme OCD and an A++ according to any and all health inspectors.
I feel bad because I trashed my receipt and didn’t note the name of the dude who served me. He was not only an Oregon Duck fan and has plans to go there but he was clearly hating it but at the same time was pleasant and truly cared.
Plus I went at like 5:30– rush hour! Went inside and waited only 5 minutes.
Did I mention how good the food is? I’m eating it cold as I write.
Plus, it was my first time. I will become a regular. :))

Drive through can be quite slow. You have to ask for dipping sauces, jelly or they won’t just give it to you.

HAIR IN THE POTATOES!!!
I ordered their special 2 piece and biscuit $ 2.99 which is a great deal! And a side of their creamy mashed potatoes and the Cajun gravy on the side, so I can dip my chicken in.
Come on guys, please do not try to replace the one that had a hair in with the one in same batch? The proper thing to do would have been to toss the contaminated batch and bring out another batch, but who knows if all the mashed potatoes were mixed in with the same mixed vat…

This is Popeye’s. If you don’t already know Popeye’s I’m not sure how you’ve made it this far in life, but I’m glad you’ve found them now.
As far as fast food goes this is hands down by far the best we have. If we had In ‘n’ Out that might make it a race but we don’t so Popeye’s wins by a landslide.
I used to mess around with the fried chicken until I realized the chicken strips also come in the spicy option, plus there’s more surface area to cover with the crispy, wonderful coating. They are also much easier to dip into the blackened ranch sauce which really is half the reason to come here. Dip everything you possibly can into this sauce, it is a gift from the very Heavens above. Hallelujah and amen!
The sides are ok, when they’re fresh they’re pretty good (I usually go with cajun fries) but it’s not often that they’re fresh. Just dip them in the ranch and you’ll be fine.
A hint if you’re new to the drive thru here, check your order! I’ve always gotten mine correctly but all my friends swear that they only get a correct order about 60% of the time.
So in the end the true lesson here is expect fast food, expect to pay a bit more than is normal for fast food, and put blackened ranch sauce on anything you can. I’ve given the place an extra star solely for that sauce, need I say more?

I’m not a fan of fried chicken so I’m probably not the best person to be writing this review. I went to Popeyes for the first time with a group of friends and they were all shocked that I had never tried it. I ordered the 2PC set with a side of cajun fries. I chose the spicy seasoning but it wasn’t spicy at all and just felt overall very greasy. The Cajun fries also weren’t very good and I couldn’t taste much Cajun flavoring nor potatoes.

I was once a BIG fan of KFC because once I tried Popeyes when they first opened here years ago and I didn’t like it.
Recently, meaning within the past two months and I enjoyed their chicken. I’m glad I gave it another shot after all these years. Their mild original chicken is YUM.
Popeyes over KFC any day!
Also, the guy who took our order inside was very nice. Gave us a better deal then what was on the menu. Wish I remembered his name!

When I learned recently that this place was ensconced deep in the SW, I was immediately about 35% more jazzed about working way out in the vicinity.
But why not 5 stars, if you and your colleagues are so thrilled, you may ask?
‘cos it’s not the Popeye’s on MLK and Ainsworth… ask any locals, they’ll tell you, that one is just BETTER. Few can coherently articulate WHY it’s better, but hey, 10,000 silly No Po Hos — -they KNOWS! ;p

Loves: (and worth the taste)
Chicken
Biscuits
Likes: (will get as my side
Mac and Cheese
Can live with out:
Cajun Gravy (dont care for the flavor)
Coldslaw (lacks flavor)

My husband and I stopped here for something different than our norm. We ordered two #5 meals (popcorn shrimp).
We paid, were handed our drinks and were asked to «pull around the front» and they’d bring our order out. There was no one else in line to need this. We waited about 15 minutes (enough time for my husband to chat up some guy about an old car he had).
We drove to a park to eat, only to discover that we got one popcorn shrimp, one chicken something each with a biscuit and mashed potatoes. No butter, no utensils… So we drove home.
And then found a hair in my potatoes.
This will be my first & last experience with Popeyes.
