Popeyes

I wish I could give no stars right now as I stand here completely disappointed. I come here often and it’s always been so-​so with the customer service but the food is always pretty fresh. As I stand here though and the MANAGER tells me that she can only replace the chicken in my order cuz that’s the only thing I brought back, which I kind of understand, but it has me beside myself. I ordered a 10 piece tender meal with fries and red beans and rice and got a 10 piece bone in meal. I had to walk about a mile back down the road after getting home and realizing that my order wasn’t right. Any other day I wouldn’t care, but its in the middle of a blizzard right now and this is COMPLETELY unacceptable! On top of the fact that I now have a homeless man harassing me, calling me a racist. I should not be treated like this and the costumer service here is COMPLETELY uncalled for. When I called, the «manager», and was speaking to her, she was talking to other people while trying to talk to me on the phone. So rude and unprofessional, as I understand this is a fast food place, it’s still not okay. I will not be returning anytime soon until they step their game up.

Ok so I haven’t been to DC in a while, first thing is they have moved acrossed the street. Nicer store, clean bathrooms for 14^th street and quick service. My two piece was a little dry and expensive BUT hey, its Popeyes! They have really good spice on their «spicy» chicken so they get 3 stars.

Zero stars for this… 2 excellent restaurants on either side and the usual begging clientele out front… I rejoiced when they left the other side of 14^th and now they have returned with the loitering people out front… NIMBY… go somewhere else. I wonder if the restaurants on either side have lost business because of Popeyes.

Last week, I went to this Popeyes and got chicken for my co-​workers and I. Worst decision we have ever made. 2 of my co-​workers immediately got the runs after eating the chicken and I thought maybe perhaps their tummy’s couldn’t take the grease because it’s been awhile since they had eaten fried foods. Later on that night, I too had the runs and so did another co-​worker of mines. One of my co-​workers hinted that they probably hadn’t changed the grease in a long time. Very disgusting. The $ 5 Dollar Big Box and the Monday-​Thursday deals are addictive, but if you don’t want to sit on the toilet all night long, stay far away.

I wish I could give them 0 stars. The manager this evening, an Asian guy, was horribly rude and disrespectful. I got a coupon for 3 piece tenders, ff and biscuit for $ 4.99, he said they don’t take them & offered me a 2 piece tender, ff, & biscuit for $ 5 something. Backwards. He was very rude when I asked why. & all of the other employees were ghetto as hell with facial and neck tattoos O_​o Never will I return!

I walked in and was promptly greeted by a friendly female cashier. Everyone was so nice and helpful; the food was as great as ever.
This was actually the first Popeye’s that knew exactly what I wanted when I asked for «cajun sparkle». Get the cajun sparkle packets and add it to everything for flavor explosion. Shamefully, I hoarded a handful of packets to spice up my mediocre cooking.

Went in on a Thursday around 10pm. Lindsay took my order and was super nice. Some of the other employees were very nice too. The Asian manager (sorry I didn’t get his name) even gave me extra sauce for free. Chicken was pretty good. Cajun rice not so much.

If you’ve ever walked past this Popeye’s on 14^th, you know how the smell instantly makes your mouth water. I finally caved one day and treated myself to some deep friend goodness. Five stars because I can buy fried chicken and biscuits without even leaving the comfort of my car. Hooray for a drive-​through in DC!

Great solution for some late night grub. This was my first time at a Popeyes and I really enjoyed the chicken tenders, mashed potatoes, rice and beans, and cole slaw. The staff was very friendly and nice. And the food was ready in seconds. Great place to eat and not spend much $. Highly recommend it. Delicious food

I ordered a delivery that included a dozen biscuits. They charged me 9.25 for a dozen biscuits, but they only delivered 6 biscuits. Their biscuits are terrific. But count your biscuits when they hand them to you.

I really think health inspector needs to visit this place. Made a huge mistake coming here. Dont do it

Have had memories here of when I was a little kid! Place hasn’t changed and I love it! There chicken is in point, their fries, the mash patatoes!!! The atmosphere is chill. They close late, like at 11. I find this great because my job closes at 10ish and ican go after to Popeyes if ever! Yay!

I’m a latino and I like my chicken fried LOL so this is a usual place to get it. This is my first time on this Popeyes and they were fast and nice. They managed to have my order done in less than 5 min… Com’on, that’s fast food!!! And it was correct!!! So I’m going to stop writing now and start eating my «finger licking good chicken». BTW, if you don’t lick your fingers afterwards, you are not a normal person LOL!!! :oP~

It’s Popeye’s so automatically 4 and 5 stars is out of the question. Again, it’s Popeye’s so in theory a 1 star is never fair, so 2 or 3 is the debate and I am going with 2 stars. The staff is friendly as long as it isn’t close to closing. The food is good, not healthy, but good, which is why somehow you find yourself returning. It’s this next issue that kills me. So on your receipt and also on signs in the restaurant it says check your order to make sure it is complete and accurate before leaving, they will not be responsible once you leave the store. Sounds simple enough so perhaps it is my fault for not following instructions. I just assumed if all I ordered was two 3pc dinners with 4 extra biscuits, that it couldn’t be messed up. I mean put chicken and biscuits in the box and we’re done. No counting required above 6 if you count the 1 biscuit that comes with each meal. So I check my receipt after paying. Yep. Everything on the receipt. I get the bag of food, and despite the instructions told myself it couldn’t have been messed up. Sigh… so when I got home and saw 2 biscuits and two 2pc dinners, despite what was on the receipt… yeah.

As soon as I walked in, the place reeked of fried food and grease, which I expected.
As I approached the counter last night, the two girls behind made some comment and laughed. I placed my order, and one got my food while the other took my money. Both asked if I wanted sauce, and since it was my first time there, I didn’t know what sauce to get and was unfamiliar with the names. Well, even when they both rattled off a list, their English was so incomprehensible, I said, «BBQ». I had no clue what they said.
I also didn’t understand how much I was expected to pay because they muttered. I’m glad I didn’t pay with cash. Who knows if they would have given me back the correct change!
As for the food itself, the combo comes with this behemoth size of a soft drink. I didn’t really want any soda, but I wanted more than chicken and opted for the combo. Let’s start with the good: the biscuit. That’s it. After a 15 minute walk and eating everything else before, the biscuit was still a little warm and soft and buttery.
The mashed potatoes and gravy wasn’t very good, and the chicken was THE WORST. There wasn’t much chicken, and the fried stuff was disgusting.
I would not recommend coming here for food or service. Both left me wanting much much more!

It’s very unfortunate when ill informed people put incorrect information on the Internet as truth.
There is a CLEAR sign in the window (other than the one pictured) that CLEARLY states the suspension was issued from the Office of Tax and Revenue.
The claim that the Health Department closed this Popeye’s is false information.

Well… I mean its Popeyes. It is great they have a drive through in the middle of the city… perhaps the only one? Sometimes the chicken is fresh othertimes not so much. Staff has always been friendly though.
Just FYI– all Popeyes food has a ton of MSG. Its in the chicken. Its in the biscuits. Its in the hot sauce. Its even in most of the sides. So if you are sensitive to MSG this is NOT the place for you.

I’ve been twice and each visit was the polar opposite of the other.
On one visit, they were short-​staffed and everybody looked ready to go the heck home. I had to wait for my food and was given extra helpings by a woman who seemed to really lighten up after I asked how her night was going, but was otherwise ready to stab people.
The other visit, the food was ready and the service was much better, but the food was stale.
Honestly, I’d go back, but only late at night when they don’t have everything sitting out.

Nom Nom Nom. It’s fried chicken in a hurry!
I like it spicy, with cajun fries and a biscuit, or three.
While you could ask for good service and a cleanly dining area, I’m pleased just to plug my aorta. Unlike John G. I haven’t had bad service, though it is on par with other fast food joints.
If you visit the Popeyes website, they have coupons for each store. For the past few months it has been «22 pieces for 19.99.» When my office mates and I feel like total fatties, we hook this up.

Had dinner there Nov, 4^th, Thursday PM.
Very bad service. The store manager was up front, sneezing and just talking to her son/​boyfriend while customers waited to order. Very unprofessional.
When you order, the cashier just screams the order «2 Fish — Catfish!!» «one Chicken!»
Place needs a good cleaning — with the cameras/​monitors — you would think the owner can see what is going on/​or what is not going on.
