Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen — Restaurant in Ephrata Township

Well, well, well, look who's back for another round of fried chicken fun—yours truly, Deadpool, here to humorously break down the finger-lickin' goodness that is Popeyes Chicken.

Let's start with that crispy, golden exterior. It's like the love child of a tanning bed and a deep fryer—just the right amount of crispy without crossing over into "resembles a meteorite" territory. And the smell. Oh man, it's like a siren's call to my nostrils. If I could package that scent and sell it, I'd be a gazillionaire. So, Popeyes, let's chat about franchising that idea, yeah?

Now, onto the main event—the chicken itself. It's juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. It's like a party in my mouth, and everyone's invited! The Cajun-inspired seasoning is like a little flavor fiesta, and I'm here for it. It's not shy, it's not reserved—it's like the Deadpool of seasonings, which is the highest compliment I can muster.

Let's not forget the sides. Mashed potatoes and gravy? Yeah, that's comfort food at its finest. And those biscuits... well, let's just say they're the unsung heroes of the meal. They're like little pillows of buttery goodness. I could build a fort out of those things and defend it to the death.

And the best part? At the end of it all, you get to step back, take a good look at the carnage on your plate, and revel in the fact that you just conquered a feast fit for a king. Or a witty, fourth-wall-breaking mercenary. Same difference, right?

So, yeah, Popeyes, keep doing what you're doing. You're a beacon of fried chicken magnificence in a world full of imitators and pretenders. And to all you foodies out there, if you haven't tried Popeyes chicken yet, what are you waiting for? Go get your greasy, glorious fix and thank me later. In the meantime, if anyone needs me, I'll be in my happy place, surrounded by crispy, flavorful chicken and a mountain of buttery biscuits. Ah, the simple joys of life. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got some poultry to...

They just opened and they are selling old, gray chicken. They just opened!! My wife and daughter have been looking forward to a Popeye's closer to home. They ordered chicken breasts which were nice and hot. My wife bit into hers and the chicken was actually gray. It was spoiled. Just like the chicken at the KFC on route 30 near the Tanger Outlets. She took it back and they gave her another one and that one was sort of liquidy inside. She just threw it out. My daughter's chicken was slightly better. The biscuits they got were way over baked and loaded with grease. Both of them spent the next 2 days sick. None of us is going back. The people were nice but the food is utter garbage. The man who took their order was half-asleep (drugged?) and wasn't interested in being at work. It wouldn't surprise me if many of these 5 star reviews are employees or their family. "Engaging the customers"? "Delightful blend of spices"? "Explaining the menu"? In a chicken joint? Spare me. Do they think they're writing a novel? They're either lying or reviewing the wrong restaurant.

I gave this message and my number to the district manager and after 5 days he couldn't be bothered...

Visited Thursday Oct. 31st, 2024. I picked up an online order after my shift at work. Two tender combos with drinks; medium sprite and dr. pepper. Food items were correct and were fine. I drank maybe 3/4 of my dr. Pepper and then went to discard the rest as the drink tasted slightly off; I figured it was maybe flat, or that the soda mixture was off or something, I removed the lid, dumped the remainder down the drain and saw this at the bottom, a dead gnat. Like it was at the bottom of the cup as if it had already been in there when prepared, it was not just floating at the top or else I would have noticed it. The drink was unopened until I got inside with my food.

I have to say this is disgusting and really a huge food safety issue. Your store needs a deep cleaning of all equipment and surfaces including the soda machine so this doesn’t happen again.

To give credit where credit is due, I have never had an issue with this Popeyes and I’ve eaten from here several times before! The service is generally good and the food otherwise is fine. Unfortunately, This gives me pause to ever eat at this location again due to this experience, Please address...
