Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen — Restaurant in Mocksville

We had been to Mooresville and on our return, we stopped at the Popeyes in Mocksville. If we had known before exiting that it was attached to a TA truck stop, I would have vetoed. I never again want to hear that shower stall #23 is available without waiting. BUT this was a sprawling building and the Popeyes was on the end and had its own entrance and bathrooms, which were very clean. They have a big dining area by their counter and another huge dining area that separates them from the truck stop. We had drinks in the car so we got our food to go. Two classic chicken sandwiches and 5 tenders, no drinks or sides, cost $20.04. Pricey? Mmmmaybe. Delicious? Absolutely! The pictures show a thick juicy, whole breast. Not tenderloins, not half a breast and certainly not a mashed or preformed patty. The breading is crunchy and flavorful but you can see how thick the meat is in comparison. The tenders seem to have been pounded very thin but they were still good. The counter person was extremely patient with all the questions being posed by everyone. The menu board was on a rotation of items so it was difficult to remember what came with what. It was 2:30 and we had to wait for the sandwiches but they were fresh and hot. One little old lady seemed ready to rumble when a man got his food ahead of her. She literally said, “What? You think it’s your birthday?!” The counter person quickly pointed out that he had ordered what they had a supply of and the man was nice enough to just smile. Situation diffused. Sheesh people. Anyway, they have a very nice outside seating area on the Popeyes end, far from the building and away from the parking lot. They also have a fenced in pet exercise area, which I’ve never seen at a restaurant. I doubt we’ll be in this area again, but if we were, I would return. NOTE: I now see commercials for the limited time offer of the Sandwiches N More Pack. $25 gets you 4 classic sandwiches, 4 tenders and 1 large side. That is an excellent value considering the sandwich is $4.79 each and 5 tenders were $9.19.

I was pleasantly surprised by every aspect of my visit here. On a road trip and needing a quick lunch we searched Google Maps for restaurants on our route. Popeyes came up in the search results, and we chose it because neither of us had been there. This location is part of a larger travel store that includes a truck stop/convenience mart and another restaurant. The parking lot was clean, the interior colorful and very well maintained, from the restrooms to the eating area. The two ladies behind the counter made us feel like we were in our grandmother's kitchen (minus the "When are you getting married and having kids" guilt), and the food was, in a word, delicious. The chicken in our meal deal was hot, crisp, and flavorful. The sides - jambalaya and red beans & rice - were a perfect compliment to the chicken. The biscuits were fluffy and delicious. We will definitely remember this stop when we're traveling...

I have lived in Mocksville for over 5 years and the first 2 times I went to this location was great. Then I had 4 bad trips there literally forgot food multiple times. This is the last time I will ever goto this location it’s sad it’s one of the best chicken around and just isn’t worth the trouble of going and being disappointed. Literally checked my box from an online order they were out of Mac and cheese no soda in the drink machines. Had togo back and get the rest if my food forgot half of the chicken I order then proceeded to tell me I just have grab the wrong bag even though they handed me the bag. I’m sorry but this restaurant needs a major management evaluation I work in one of nicest 5 star restaurants in the triad area and the way this place is a ran is sad it’s like yall just don’t care. I wonder how much business yall lose on a daily basis your employees attitudes are a disgrace to Popeyes...
