Popeyes

So good! It tastes like chicken mixed with food sauce. You also get free water! Great for groups under 20 people.

At first, it looked like your standard, run-​of-​the-​mill fast food restaurant. But I was constantly surprised by the quality of the food and service. Cashier was patient even though I changed the order midway. I ordered the chicken tenders along with fries and a biscuit. Let me just say that their fries are Amazing! Literally crsiped to perfection with a addictive cajun seasoning, I couldn’t ask for more! The chicken was around an 8/​10, definitely better than I expected. Their biscuits were satisfying when paired with the honey. Overall, great meal.

I’ve been to this Popeye’s twice, but have never eaten there. The first time I went, their credit/​debit card machine was down, and I didn’t have cash. The second time I went… they were miraculously out of chicken. I don’t understanding how a restaurant with chicken in the name can run out of chicken…

Recently in Ferguson single handedly negotiating a peace deal (Semi-​SuccesfuIly). I found myself hungry and looking for a bite to eat. Looking around at all the boarded up business’s, as well as remembering a pledge I made to myself years ago to never eat in establishments that resemble a bombed out bizarre in downtown Iraq, I was left with very few options. A few options that is, until I saw the familiar red glow of the Popeyes chicken sign. Located conveniently across from a burned down Auto Zone, a looted Walgreens and directly in front of a still smoldering Family Dollar, Popeyes was literally the only non damaged, non boarded up building in town. Now all that being said the food wasn’t great and the service was terrible. But I am giving this Popeyes Chicken location 2 stars. 1 star for being the only building left standing undamaged, but another star for being the only business not Skerred in the first place to board up all its doors and windows

This place is terrible. it’s an embarrassment to the Popeye’s franchise. its unbelievable that they are able to stay in business. there were no cars in front of me and it took forever for them to get my order. The food is usually greasy, the portions are small and overpriced.

What do you have to do to get service at this wonderfully attentive and appropriately staffed Popeye’s Chicken? For me, it was jumping up and down waving my arms like the chicken they must have been hand killing and plucking. When they finally saw me and after 3 minutes, they finished their Ebonics filled conversation, I’m not saying that to seem crude, my sister and some friends talk like that, it is more my annoyance at the fact that the staff looked at me twice yet continued their purposeless conversation regarding the needed rear end pummeling of someone’s baby daddy. All the while I’m asking of I can get some food. When the counter girl finally arrived, she was very pleasant, though obviously unable to comprehend my order request. 2 piece, all leg crispy with slaw. The chicken they were plucking must have been quickly chopped, dipped and fried because the meat was freshly hot, but I had 2 wings and a thigh. The slaw was their Cajun rice. I looked at my receipts to be sure before I said anything and it had 2 legs and slaw as per my request. When I showed her the food and mentioned the mistake she got defensive and stated ‘youz get whatcha ordered’. Then I showed her the receipts, realizing her mistake and rather than a simple, ‘my bad’, she yanked the tray from the counter causing one of the wings to fly away. Maybe they hadn’t killed it enough. She went to the back and I heard her telling the cook/​kitchen guru that the customer says she changed her mind. He looked up and I told him I could show him the receipt that had what I did order was not what was on the tray. He told me never mind. Miss Congeniality of the Popeye’s School of Charm and Grace then stomped back up front and presented my lovely, now correct order. When I picked up my lovingly presented tray of deep fried crap, the adorable Duchess of Airport Rd said, «Enjoy your meal.» But to be honest, her sneer seemed more sincere than her words.
This experience makes me long for the days of the now defunct Popeye’s on Natural Bridge. They may not have been in as glamorous or cultured area as the Airport Road local but the service and food was better and faster.

It takes forever to get your food at this ghetto Popeye’s. They aren’t very friendly as it seems you’re an inconvenience. In addition, they can never get your order complete.

3 stars for being good ol’ Popeye’s. Tasty crunchy fried chicken (ask for the Cajun Sparkle seasoning that they keep behind the counter), a nice flakey buttery biscuit that doesn’t even need the additional «I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter» packet, and the seasoned cajun french fries. Probably my favorite of the 3 major fried chicken chains around me (KFC & Church’s being the other 2…) An extra star for this location. I landed in St. Louis and was on my way to see a client on an empty stomach and came across this Popeye’s. As I entered, I was in a bit of a shock. The place was nice and clean, plus the service was super friendly as well. You definitely won’t find a Popeye’s experience like this in SoCal where our affectionate nickname for this chain is Ghettobird… I think we were listening to too much Ice Cube back in the day… anyways, yeah. It was a pleasant surprise. If I’m ever in St Louis again, I’ll probably stop in again just to say Hey.
