Being from Louisiana I grew up loving that chicken from Popeyes....that all changed today. There was no restroom available nor were there any handwipes etc. I thought that was not a good thing and then the food I ordered was ready. They had the order all wrong and when I went to let them know the female worker with the orange bandana aka the rudest one of the crew felt the need to argue instead of making the order correct. At this point I was so over this place...I regret not letting them know about the human hair on the inside of the bag the meal was packaged in. My lunch break was over, my nerves were frazzled, and my appetite was lost. This particular location needs to educate their employees on proper food safety handling and customer service skills. I wish I could say at least the food was good but I cant even say that...the chicken was overcooked and not what my taste buds expected. So my advice is if you go to this location you should not need to wash your hands nor use the restroom, you should not expect good customer service and your order to be right, and you can look forward to the female employee wearing a bandana over her long hair to leave some of her hair on your food as she refuses to make things right for the customer. The location was a brand new opening and was a huge disappointment. All within my 30 minute lunch break I realized that I should have packed my lunch and avoided...
Read morePopeyes has expanded their menu over the years with new lunch deals and a variety of surprisingly tasty desserts, but the jewel in the crown of their offerings is their original recipe chicken.
The chicken is available as 'regular' and 'spicy', and the crust on both is savory, crunchy, and very satisfying. The meat of the chicken is tender and moist, with a nice, fresh chicken flavor. (This isn't something I can always say about their competitors, unfortunately).
Popeyes' hot sauce follows the manner of other Louisiana-style hot sauces, with a sharp, spicy start, and a nice, slower rise of peppery flavors that will make you want more. It's a savory addition to many things, but it is perfect on chicken, and it can be slightly addictive.
I've been to a fair number of different branches, and without exception, the crews have been quick, pleasant, and efficient; they know their business, and do it well, with cheery greetings and smiles. They won't waste your time.
It's been said that true mastery of something isn't that complex, but rather, is the ability to do something simple in a consistently perfect manner. If that's true, then Popeyes Chicken are the 'black belt' masters of fast food - perfectly cooked chicken with familiar sides, prepared quickly.
It's consistently delicious, and a good value. Highly...
Read moreWell, I like practically all of America just had to try the new much talked about Chicken Sandwich, and after going to 3 different Popeyes within an hour and a half, I finally hit the jackpot on the 4th Popeyes I went to, which was in Hollywood on Hollywood boulevard. After about a 40 minute wait, I finally got my spicy chicken sandwich and I must admit that the sandwich lived up to all the hype! It was totally delicious. The bun was fresh toasted Brioche, there were 2 nice sized slices of crunchy deli-style pickles and a slightly spicy sauce. The best part was the most meaty chicken breast which had a seasoned fried crunchy coating. The sandwich is basically a well fried boneless chicken breast on a bun, not a chicken patty or fillet and that makes all the difference, from the main other competitor, CFA., where chicken patties/fillets are the staple. I have to say also though that the sandwich at Popeyes is the best, but the customer service at CFA is far superior Imo, so CFA has nothing to worry about in the long run. Today, I was lucky enough to pig out on 2 chicken sandwiches at the Sepulveda Popeyes before...
