Popeyes Chicken and Biscuits

The chicken strips with Mardi Gras mustard is the main redeeming quality of this place. The employees are subpar with the attitude, but that is par for the course in the United States service industry these days. So can’t take much off for that. I’ve lost all expectations that fast food employees will act like human beings.

This is one of those shameful self-​indulgences. Sometimes I just crave fast food fried chicken. Popeye’s makes some good spicy fried chicken and I love the Cajun gravy that comes on their mashed potatoes. Once I’ve had my fix I’m good for 3 or 4 months until I start craving it again.
This particular location used to be a Taco Bell. Popeye’s purchased a lot of the old Taco Bells (those old school ones that resembled a Spanish mission) because the kitchen layout of those old TB’s meets Popeye’s needs.

We ate inside instead of driving through. It was not the most classy restaurant but it has decent chicken and was a good change of pace over the KFC’s of the world.

Three times now, this place just can’t get anything right. Employees and the manager are complete imbeciles. My order is consistently screwed up and every time I have to wait more than five minutes for the food. Nobody wants to hear «please pull ahead and park we’ll bring your food right out». Not only that, you would expect freshness with such a wait, but I think it takes them that long to assemble the box because the food is always nasty! Breading is never crisp, fries are always soggy (and these are the worst kind of soggy fries), and I have yet to receive a packet of honey for my biscuit. They ran some silly $ 4.99 special for some garlic pepper chicken tenders that lured me in for THE last time, what I received was a bunch of little chewy foul-​smelling chicken strands and ice cold fries, it was not worth 99 cents. Took two bites and spit it out. Never again!
