Popeyes

Extremely poor and SLOW service. No greetings or welcome. Very unsatisfied. No fresh food being put out either, old and stale.

I ordered the 5-​piece mix and when I ask the cashier if I can have a mixture of breast and thighs or breast only. She said she’s not supposed to but she got me. I almost burst in to tears of joy. This is the first time in my life that I had breast only Popeyes. Definitely making this my new Popeyes spots.

Thanks, but no thanks 78 Court Street.
When it comes to fast food, I’ll eat it once in a while. And when I do, I often opt for Popeyes.
I didn’t even order anything from this location and still had a bad experience. That’s just plain sad. I then walked out. Why? Well let me tell you all a story and prevent you from a bad experience yourself.
.My sister and I were taking a walk around this area one day and we started to get hungry. Asking my sister what she wanted, we both settled on Popeyes. We then crossed the street, walked into Popeyes, and were proceeding to look at the menu. Then, comes a very sarcastic ”Hello, welcome to Popeyes” from one of the cashiers. I look up and smile. Shouldn’t have. Because next, I heard laughter. The same cashier who gave me that sarcastic ass laugh was talking to another crew member and was pointing somewhere in our direction. There was no one around the two of us, so, it was totally obvious. I glared at them for a while then decided to leave. There comes the glances I can see from outside. –_​– Really? Not going to support a bunch of dickheads, nope. Something I did notice though while I was outside the store… it seemed to have to do with looks and/​or ethnicity. So basically, they were being little scumbags who thought they were better than others. They didn’t do that to anyone else but when it came to some customers, the expression they had pissed me off. I could’ve confronted them, but knowing me, I didn’t. No point in arguing with a fool at all, they’ll never change.
Let me mention again, this was right after I walked in the door. Walked out within 4 minutes. –Sigh–
Overall, if you’re craving Popeyes and are able to ignore and handle mean dunces, come here. Otherwise, NOPE, NOPE, and NOPE.

I went to Popeyes again tonight after a night of a few drinks… or, otherwise I probably would not have eaten fried chicken and had something a bit healthier… but inhibitions were low, & I gave in! Definitely a good decision tonight. Why? Well, things were definitely spot on tonight. The chicken was fresh; the service was great; and, it was an overall enjoyable experience.
I was especially impressed by Tangie, the cashier. She was knowledgeable, super nice, and attentive. Girl, oh the places you will go. I wish you great luck.

Horrible Customer Service. I had to wait over 20 minutes to get my order.
I love fried chicken, but recommend to avoid this establishment at all costs.

I have been there three times and every time the staff have been extremely slow. Now I understand that they are underpayed and that the work sucks but isn’t it better to just have good flow? Now I also realize why many Americans are over weight. This food will kill you

The slowest Popeye’s you will ever go to. Took 45 minutes to get my food. If I hadn’t gone up to remind the person who took my order that I was waiting, I might still be there. They never have enough food prepped, the cashiers seem like they want to just stand around and chat, even in the middle of lunch rush, and there doesn’t seem to be any leadership to get things done. Just avoid this place until they either get new management, or are replaced completely.

It’s been a year and a half. My girlfriend had a Popeye’s craving… so back we went. We received the wrong piece selection (thighs instead of breasts) and the wrong type of chicken (spicy instead of mild). We ordered one side which only after completing the order and paying were we told they didn’t have (as I’ve said before… how can an employee working there not know that they’re out of their most popular sides??) and one side which didn’t make it into our bag. At least staff was nice and smiley as she screwed up everything.

I love Popeye’s, my guilty pleasure. But really, never an order right here. Close would be a compliment. Shorted a biscuit and gravy side, wrong side, no sauce.

Salty, salty, SALTY!
I mean, just about every Popeyes’ chicken is too salty. What, are they trying to give everyone high blood pressure?

I eat fried chicken once a year, every year. On the anniversary of MJ’s death. I just so happened to be devouring 4 fried thighs when I heard the news 5 years ago, and sobbed into my Popeyes box for about 2 hours. It’s now become a tradition.
So I ventured out to this particular Popeyes at 10:30pm. What a mistake. An entire hour & a half before closing and they had nothing but scraps in regard to side dishes. Take a look at the «side» of mashed potatoes I ended up finding when I got home. It was the equivalent of about 2 tablespoons.
The chicken thighs were delicious, as are the biscuits, but it pretty much ends there. I paid $ 19.75 for 8 thighs, a biscuit, and 2 tablespoons of mashed potatoes, because they were «all out» of everything, and, of course, didn’t choose to tell me that until after I paid, and my «order» (missing 2 sides) was packed.
The bathrooms are atrocious. The customer service ranges from nonexistent to awful. The prices are outrageous considering what I got. I definitely will not return to this location again. It might be better if you show up before 10pm, but a part of me highly doubts this. I’d highly suggest an alternate Popeyes location.

Another establishment fondly operating on a name and poorly managed. The estimated time to receive a two (2) piece is almost ten minutes. If you plan on getting in and out of this place you will be very upset. The customer service is unethical to plain upsetting. If it were not for the chicken brand name of Popeyes, this establishment would be on the list of never eat here again.
I ask myself how can a corporation be run like this.

Oh, Popeyes. You are a very bad boyfriend.
I can never let my friends or family know that I see you, because you are forgetful, greasy, and you don’t clean up after yourself.
I am not the only one who thinks so. Everyone in line waiting to see you and get a few minutes of satisfaction… we are all looking at one another. And we are all having this silent conversation:
Why are you here?
No, why are YOU here?
I asked you first.
Bitch, you don’t need to be here. Go get on a treadmill.
Have you even ever been to Louisiana? No, I didn’t think so. You don’t deserve to be here.
Bitch, he ain’t really like the ones in Louisiana. Who are you kidding?
I don’t care. Me and my guy Popeyes, we go way back.
Well, I’d better get SOMETHING after you’re done getting yours.
Get out of my line.
I know you know what I mean.
You may get water from the machine instead of sweet tea at this Court location. You may not get your red beans and rice. Heck, there will probably be no mash left for you.
But there will be chicken. And it will be bona fide. As will you be, when you surely return to fight the same fight again with all the others who want a piece of your Popeyes but find out that he just can’t keep up.

Okay so all day my boyfriend and I were CRAVING some popeyes… Some juicy, moist chicken thighs with crispy delicious fried skin dipped in creamy mashed potatoes. with some gravy.
Around 11:20PM we walk into Popeyes, order 2 butterfly shrimp baskets. The cashier tells us it would be ready in 5 minutes. Okay, so the line has grown to about 6 people. Why did all those customers get their food and walk out, while we were still waiting 15 minutes later? Mind you, they didn’t even have biscuits ready to go. Really though? And not to mention of loud and rude the staff was. So we ask her how much longer, she says 2 minutes. We demanded the money back and then she asks the cook if the food is ready and he says yes. So why was it more then a 2 minutes wait!!! Negative, put the money back on the card. She says that she can’t do that (bullshit). Then my boyfriend demands cash. She then agreed with her stink ass attitude trying to tell us the food is ready not even with an apology. Got home an hour later then usual and settled for some local fried chicken joint down the block. Boy was I agitated as fvk!
The next day my boyfriend went to the Popeyes on Fulton St, 2 minutes and he was out! (he went during a work break and surprised me when we got home, he’s the best =). and if you are wondering, no I am not a big fine women. I just eat like one)

I love popeyes. It is gross and totally perfect. This local is often busy and you feel so gross after eating but I can’t stop myself from going back…

Me and Popeye’s have a problem. It’s one of those super intense borderline toxic relationships, the kind where you both know you need to give each other space but once again you find yourself face first in a box of fried chicken and biscuits.
The servers are unintelligible. Seriously, I never know what they’re asking me so I tend to guess that they’re asking «do you want that spicy or mild» or «what kind of side» and answer accordingly. Sometimes I’m right.
Other than that, the chicken is pretty much always hot and fresh, as are the biscuits. My one gripe is that they tend to run out of macaroni and cheese – duhh it’s the best, you have to make extra, though the mashed potatoes and gravy are a decent alternative.
I wish I knew how to quit you, Popeye’s!

The best chicken ever. The staff can be overwhelmed don’t take it personally. When you order sides double check because they can be cheap, especially with the Cajun rice. It can be crowded at lunch time and during promotions. Make sure you taste your soda before you leave it might be seltzer water instead of sprite. They have to be reminded to give extra honey and hot sauce. It’s a good deal if your on a budget. They have upstairs seating. I will continue to eat here unless the Department of Health says other wise.

Crack, straight crack! The employees here are nice. Forget everything else on the menu, all you want is CHICKEN ONLY! I ordered some fried chicken and the lady was nice enough to inform me about their current 9 piece deal. It’s a good price but it’s mixed. She gave me 3 big ass chicken breast, 3 wings, 2 thighs, and 1 drumstick. Next time, I’m only ordering legs and thighs. Popeye’s chicken skin is so bangin. Nice golden crispiness. I like Popeyes way more than KFC. KFC is alright but their chicken skin is extremely oily and too salty. If you can’t figure out what to eat, just come to Popeyes! It’s so clutch.
If there aren’t any traffic cops nearby, drive with a friend and have him/​her go inside and order because finding a parking spot in this area is a friggin bitch!

Today was my annual hungover Popeyes allowance and I have to say, this location is wayyy better than the one below my apartment on Fulton St where a trip would go something like this:
«Can I have the #2 with mashed potatoes?»
«BABY WE AIN’T GOT NO MASHED POTATOES.»
«Okay, fries?»
«WE AIN’T GOT NO FRIES.»
«What do you have?»
«THIGHS AND BISCUITS.»
A friend claims they were out of chicken once…

It’s a typical Popeye’s.
Plenty of seating upstairs.
