Popeyes — Restaurant in Paris

I arrived in Paris on the Eurostar late in the evening and was hungry, but not ravenous, so I decided to see what was around the corner from my Gare du Nord located hotel. I saw Popeyes and thought it would be fun to choose something I'd never had the opportunity to experience before.

I entered the store and used the screen to order, but when it came to paying the machine wouldn't work and advised me to go to the main counter. There I had to explain what had happened, and the answer was to use another screen, go through the whole process again, and this time successfully pay.

I then waited in the area where the counter was, until someone rather rudely demanded to know why I was there and ushered me to the collection area around the corner from the small seating area. I found a seat and joined the people waiting for their order - mine was on the screen as being prepared.

I waited... and waited... my number remained as being prepared whilst delivery drivers came and went and returned and went again... I tried asking someone how long my order would take, and they didn't seem to understand me - but indicated the board stating that my order was being prepared. After half an hour of waiting I approached another member of staff who checked my number, saw it was still being prepared and then grabbed a bag of food and handed it to me without comment.

I thought to myself - this had better be damned good food!

It was not. Clearly there had been some problem with their system as I know my number was not called and never left the "being prepared" section of the screen. However, when I got to my hotel room almost next door, I found my food was stone cold - chilled, even, as it had been beside the sundae which was melted. My vanilla shake was only about 20% full. I will never go to this Popeyes again - and probably won't have an opportunity to try another one, for that matter. I do not recommend taking a chance on...

Waited about 40 minutes around dinner time (20:30pm). But just when we wanted to enter the guy at the door tell us we can only take away because we are on the take away line which took us by surprise since there’s no sign to inform anyone between 2 lines which one is for dine in which one is for take away, he was really insisted us to take away no matter what , even we explained there’s no sign and we waited so long, but since we came really far away and did take long time at line we decided to ignore him and dine in, however during eating time I wasn’t totally relaxed 😂 afraid the guy will come and kick us out , hopefully it didn’t happen, but still, put a sign at the door at least to inform us ! Friendly reminder : inner line is for dine in, outside line is for take out. Anyway, about the food quality, I would say it tasted good , more crispy than KCF and McDonald, the burger bread was soft and tasty as well. Loved the spicy chicken wings , hope it can be more spicy though. Fries tasted different than other fast food place but good as well. For the sauces there’s many choices except ketchup and mayonnaise , like garlic and spicy ext, need to pay extra 1 euro. Average price is about 10euros-18euros/person, depends how much you can eat of course. We ordered a bit much so took away some leftovers, inside take away bag it’s plastic which is pretty good to keep the oil away , very useful design I would say . Typical fast food place, nothing to complain, but I don’t think I’ll come so far away and take the long line again for this, maybe when the hit is gone it won’t be this much crowded, I would consider...
