Popeyes is apparently open at 7:00 a.m. which I find frankly unlikely yet fortunate. however they seem to be missing a great opportunity by not serving a chicken and waffle solution as part of their breakfast. I got a little excited when I realized that this sandwich everyone was going crazy about was right there in front of me although my heart and stomach sank at least three inches when I was told that the sandwich is not currently available. This felt largely authentic as everyone else could not get their hands on this oh so hyped chicken experience and it's never the worst to be part of a group. So I picked a combo and an extra đ„Ș. Got a little worried that maybe the very nice man working and I had not communicated well through the speaker and felt my worry was wholly justified when the total was only $7.10... I paid in exact change add the incredibly polite employee handed me a sandwich and told me that the hash browns would be out fresh in just a moment and he asked me if it was all right if he closed the window because it was cold outside and as you can imagine a Louisiana chain might not provide wintertime garb for their team members. Prefering instead for them to warm themselves, huddled around the bubbling deep fryers. For real though homeboy hooked me up with a Sly surprise. Partially hidden under hash browns in a separate bag I discovered what seemed to be an almost baseball glove size perfectly fried slice of chicken loosely escorted by two obviously insufficient sized biscuits. And I realized he had given me the heart of what I asked for in the highly touted sandwich of my desire. Appropriately dressed in it's Saturday morning finest and appropriate biscuit jacket. Coulda tossed in a little bonus ketchup but y'all, a win is a win. Five stars. Fry on you crazy devils. People reading this will think I'm hilarious or on a spectrum and it's probably both. Cheers...
   Read moreYour typical fast food restaurant serving fried chicken and biscuits. I used to come here a lot when I went to USC and when I came back on a Sunday during lunch, I noted not much has changed. There was a fair amount of people already there and waited behind a couple of parties. The cashier was new (his first day) so it took him a bit of time and coaching but he was nice. The other works were more brusque and didnât help when we asked for hot sauces and extra plates, but the new person did (props to Jose!). For the four of us we got the family combo which comes with 8 pieces of chicken, a large side, and four buttermilk biscuits for ~$29. You need get a drink separately and the soda fountain is available for self service. I donât think itâs the best deal as we saw a manager special on the sign on the window that wasnât advertised in store for 12 pieces for $10.99. If you get the side separately plus drink youâd save money, but you wouldnât get biscuits. I wish they put those specials more in the forefront. They can give you water cups as well. The chicken seasoning on the skin is good but the meat itself is bland, so get the hot sauce. Fries were really good and salty, and the biscuits were too dry. There is a bathroom available but you need to ask them to buzz you in. The coke dispenser in the middle was overly syrupy and sweet but the coke at the far right tasted like how coke ought to taste. They donât really clean the tables so clean up after yourself. Parking is available in a lot but itâs extremely hard to get given that itâs the lot for other establishments in the strip mall. You can try to find parking a few blocks behind and walk although be aware there are plenty of...
   Read moreThis place is horrible!!! Honestly the worse chicken Iâve ever had, Iâm 61 years old from Alabama so you know Iâve had plenty of chicken in my life, as I said this was the worse!!! For starters, the kiosk double charged me whereby I have to wait until my money is reversed onto my card,the trash cans were overflowing, and,there were homeless people sleeping on the benches.I ordered my food to go, had I eaten in I would have requested my money back because the chicken had no flavor,I could tell that it was cooked in very old grease which the grease left a residue on my teeth;the first piece of chicken I ate was a wing along with the red beans & rice so I did not get the full effect of the chicken being that I put a little of it and the beans in my mouth at the same time, however! When I ate a breast by itself I was extremely disappointed!!! Also, my stomach has been bothering me all night and to be totally transparent and write this review as honest as possible though I really donât want to say it, after eating this chicken I have had really bad gas all night and it smells horrible caused by that old ass reused multiple times grease!!! The red beans and rice were ok, that was the only thing that I could â somewhat â enjoy out of a (8) piece chicken dinner which cost too much in the first place! I paid $33.38 for a meal that I could have gotten at Churchâs or Louisiana Fried Chicken for less than twenty bucks. So, avoid this place...
