Popeyes

As I’m eating I’m watching the employees behind the counter constantly touching their mouth and not washing their hands as they handling food! Don’t come here unless you want more then what you ordered.

Now I’m not going to tell you exactly how many times I’ve been to this Popeyes since they opened. It’s embarrassing. I really should jog or ride my bike to this place instead of sit in my nice air-​conditioned car in the drive thru. It’s so easy though. And when it’s good, it’s really good. Crack chicken, even more so than the crack chicken at Chick-​fil-​a. But I had to come back and do an update and take a star away.
If you do a search for Popeyes for the metro area they all slip into mediocrity. Why? Inattention is my theory. One evening my dear husband picked up a family meal through the drive thru with 2 large sides. Got home & only had 1 side. Had to go back and get the crack red beans & rice of course. No sorry or anything. Just a «here ya go».
One afternoon I went through the drive thru and picked up a 3 pc. chicken tender meal. One tender was fantastic. The crackiest of the crackin’. The other 2 were old, like from yesterday’s lunch old and really nasty. @#$% dammit!
Today I got some delicious chicken, mac & cheese, and potatoes and gravy. No spork or napkin.
C’mon now. Get it together. Serve it fresh with all the usual accoutrements. (God that’s a great word and does NOT go at all with a review for fast food chicken). It’s not that difficult. Don’t make me put you on double secret probation like I have that other crack chicken joint.
The staff is always friendly, but the person on the drive thru is usually talking 900 mph and most of the time asks me a question I already answered. Now, I can’t re-​enact it in this review, so as always, you’ll just have to take my word for it.

I would normally give 5 stars to this location but today was different. Since its lent I decided on fish from here for dinner (bad idea). I ordered with no issue at all although it sounded like the girl was nervous (later found out why). When I got up to the window you could see either the owner or someone high up on the food chain was watching everyone closely. There was a lot of tension in the air and nervousness from everyone due to this gentleman. Normally when we go everyone is amazing and calm and look like they’re enjoying their job… not today! Also the seafood portions are really small and don’t taste very good. Just gonna stick to chicken from now on.

Red beans and rice and Cajun fries were wonderful! Got the po’boy sandwich which was different. Not bad different, just different. Employees were very nice. I’ll be back.

Was there last night. The drive thru line was extremely long, so I thought that’s a good sign. When you go to order there were no lights on so extremely hard to order. We ordered the 3 piece meal spicy with coleslaw with 2 orders of their sweet and spicy sauce. We also ordered 6 piece nuggets meal with fries and got ranch. Get home with our meal did not get the sweet and spicy sauce did not get chicken nuggets instead got spicy tenders. Was dissatisfied with coleslaw and chicken was ok. Disappointed that order was wrong and was a waste of money. We will not go back.

I know they are knew but I am a Popeye guy since the 80’s in the south. It’s the fist time I ever got «jellied» chicken that was under done. The coating was almost burnt and hard. Not good. The one in Gilbert is new but good. The on in Tempe on Ray is the best to me in my are. Sorry Chsndler, you have a lot of work to do.

This is my first time trying popeyes and was looking forward to it. We drove up to the drive thru and boy… the line was Looooooong. I ordered a 2 pieces combo, spicy favor, with a side of claw slaw and mash potatoes. The chicken is very tender and the side dishes are delicious. I’ll come back here again and try something else.

I’ve had Pop-Eye’s before and survived, but this was downright awful.
Had the #11 Shrimp & Fish. For $ 7.99, the portion came with a handful of shrimp and 1 piece of fish. Not very generous. The shrimp was good but I think they caught the carp from the lake behind my house and battered in their kitchen. It left the worst after-​taste in my mouth for a good five minutes. Terrible, just terrible. Had to throw it away and head out to McDonald’s to satisfy my appetite. Nice knowing you Pop-Eye’s! Thanks for blocking off and kicking out the only good Thai food in the area, as well.

Very good food but they didn’t mark spicy or not I might not come back to this place don’t come here they don’t know how to mark spicy not spicy

Finally the best chicken in the world (in my opinion) opened!
We got a family meal 12 piece with red beans and rice, seasoned French fries and biscuits. Every thing was freshly made!
Buttery biscuits, red beans and rice are always delicious! The chicken was very crispy and tender. I would definitely recommend coming here. I am sure they will stay busy for a while since they just opened recently.
Way to go Popeyes!

This is a brand new location and they are off to a great start. We just enjoyed a great lunch here and we were very impressed. The counter service was efficient and the food was super fresh and hot. We were here at peak lunch hour and they seemed to handle the rush in stride. We will definitely return.
