You know, I usually just state the obvious when reviewing a fast food place, if you've had one you've had them all. Not much usually changes from franchise to franchise. But this Popeyes in particular caught me off guard. Long story short, I was one of those customers that everyone hates. I showed up within an hour of closing time. I didn't expect them to have much left over at the end of the day, but I was really hungry, it was a long day, and I didn't really care what they had left, as long as they had something. So I placed my order, and my brother placed his, but they didn't have what my brother wanted. Without batting an eye, they employees offer to drop fresh chicken for us, even though that would have meant more work for them at close, and more food to throw out at the end of the night. That might not sound like a big deal, but it's been a long time since if seen someone go above and beyond to make the customers happy. They usually just say "We're out, what can I get you instead?" So, because of their willingness so make us happy and have an enjoyable visit, I decided to write a nice, albeit long (sorry!) review, because this is really the only way that I can applaud their service. It did not go unnoticed, employees of Popeyes in Johnston,...

Read moreY'know, I'm not generally a fast-food enthusiast nowadays, but I really have to say that Popeye's Doesn't Taste Like Fast-food. Used to be a big fan of KFC back in the day, meaning at least 20 years or so ago. Recent years have proven them hit-or-miss regarding their treatment of chicken so I'm rather pleased Popeye's finally landed on RI's shores. Crispy, spicy (or not), moist, flavorful chicken, delivered in a reasonably short period of time. Of course, in a Post-COVID19 universe that means you'll be waiting for a delivery, which I can't comment on - or - you'll be waiting in the drive-thru line, which took all of 8 minutes, and three cars before us, from order-to-pickup-to-driving-away.
Located nearly at the intersection of Atwood and Hartford Avenues in the heart of Johnston, and minutes from...
