Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen — Restaurant in DeRidder

I like their food, but the employees here are so rude.

Location: In the busy part of deridder right off the highway. It really sucks when they get busy because they allow people to just stop in the road. It'd be great if they could develop 2 lanes, especially if they are never going to allow people to dine in anymore.

Food: Just like any other popeyes.

Service: Not quick but not the slowest. There has been multiple occasions where the staff is just rude. You can tell they don't want you there. Even when allowing ppl to pick up mobile orders. I literally watched them push a customer out of the store bc she was just finishing up ordering on the app but wasn't 100% done yet- they demanded that she be done before she is allowed to enter the store! I have also watched them roll their eyes at me bc I didn't hear them call my name. Their tone can be rude too. They also have a habit of locking the doors even though you're supposed to be able to pick up orders inside. I have had to knock on the door.

Atmophere: uncomfortable. I'm also surprised the inside isn't super clean since they don't allow dining in.

Overall, I like popeyes food, but they employees...

The Popeyes in DeRidder has occasional downs, but our most recent visit was exceptional. I wasn't familiar with items two people had requested, but the young lady taking my order knew exactly what they were talking about - and she patiently helped me get the order right!! She put our order together quickly, and everything tasted very good! We really like the mashed potatoes with gravey and chicken straps! I think the main thing I like about our Popeyes are the folks who work there. I witnessed a manager buy a gentleman's order for him when he didn't have enough cash to pay himself. Just always appreciate the kindness and grace...thank you...

We came for lunch today 9/2/23 @ 1050 AM. We were in the building for 10 mins and no one ever spoke to us or waited on us. We finally left and went some place else. I tried to go yesterday for lunch and the line would never move. I sat in the same spot for 15 minutes. I finally pulled out and went elsewhere. This was after lunch so it's not like it was in the middle of a rush. There were only 4 cars in line. They need to fire everyone in that store and start over! Them and Dairy Queen run a tight race for being the slowest restaurant in DeRidder, but at least you get waited on at...
