Popeyes Chicken & Biscuits

The drive thru service was bad. I put in my order and the lady made me wait an actual 3 minutes for the total because I didn’t say spicy or mild right after the order. She was a big black lady with thick glasses and had a bad attitude. I’ll never go back because of her.

Had a taste for popeyes… Hadnt had it in a while… And I see why! As soon as i pulled up to the drive thru, the lady yelled «its a 15 min wait for ALLLL chicken» I assume she expected me to leave, as most sane people would probably do, but it was 10pm and I was hungry! So i waited. She came back about 2 mins later, shocked and disappointed that I was still there, so she felt compelled to repeat herself, this time adding on «how may I help you». I place my order, 3 mild wings with mash potatoes… 20 mins pass, a girl comes to the car, hands me a bag with 6 biscuits… I tell her «sweetheart, I didnt wait 20 mins for biscuits» its not her fault, so I tell her my order, 2 mins later she returns and gives me a courtesy pop with my order. I worked at Popeyes about 20 years ago, and I see that their tactics havent changed… The closer it is to closing time, they dont «drop» any chicken, and make it on a made to order basis… To not waste any, because each piece is accounted for… On a good note, my chicken was hot and fresh, so I didnt mind the wait and there were AT LEAST 6 police cars across the street at McDonalds, so i felt fairly safe sitting there.

Extremely slow. This is where kids who drop out of Fenger High school end up so expect a long wait.

Wow! What a pit! The service was so rude and surly, I bailed and drove to the place on 95^th and Vincinnes instead.
While I ordred a 16 piece, they were in the process of beating down a customer who ordered a 10 piece who complained about undr cooked chicken. It was obviously punk inside from the pieces pulled apart, but they were making her account for every piece, yelling in general, and getting my order progressively wrong.
This place is under new, poor management. Avoid it or smile and risk under cooked poultry.
Incidently, no matter what you order, they seem to have to cook it while you wait. Fast food, as a concept is dead.

If Hell is located somewhere between one of those Leprechaun movies and that last Maury episode you saw, then this might be a portal to it. But, you know how those things that will make you go to hell are sometimes a joy, some kind of sick pleasure mixed with the pain types of things. Ummmyeeaahh…
So. It’s a Popeye’s chain. It will take you a very long time to get the food and when you get it it will taste like Popeye’s food, but it will have varying degrees of temperature, but you will be so happy when you finally get it that you won’t care anymore.
There is a… I don’t know, methhead or crackhead panhandler or something (I’m not sure what the deal is, but shit ain’t good for her, okay?) that hangs out there — inside — and she wears this, like camouflage or animal print cat suit kind of thing… A customer came in from the drive-​thru and started yelling because his bag didn’t have any napkins or hot sauce in there and then demanded some extra honey in a way that made me fairly certain that somebody was going to get shot, but nobody did. Basically, you can just expect some crazy shit to go the fuck down up in here.
I’ll probably be back the next time I’m in the mood for it. Even though the chicken usually has a kind of a glue kind of taste to it.
PS — they have deep-​fried sweet potato pies, like the McDonald’s apple kind, but with sweet potato inside. It was kind of cold and gross, but I imagine it would be pretty good if it was hot or warm or something.
