Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen — Restaurant in Town of Brookhaven

MANAGER is extremely DISCRIMINATE! I went into this store to order food with my 16 year old son. I asked one of the cashiers how old you must be to work here, her response was "16 but it depends on how you look". I was a little confused by the response but would soon find out why she said it. I watched me son go up to the manager and ask for a application. The manager Raji (i think that's how you pronounce his name) looked at my son up and down and asked him how old he was. My son stated he was 16 and looking for a job after school. (no he was not dressed with baggy jeans or inappropriate) The managers response to my son was "you have to be 17 to work here we have nothing for you". My son seemed a little upset and confused as well since the staff had previously stated the age requirement was 16. As a mother i want to protect my children against and type of discrimination but i also did not want to jump to conclusion that this was discrimination so I went how and did my research. As i was told the staff member was correct, the age to work at popeyes is 16. I then called the popeyes in Shirley NY and asked to speak to the manager. I explained to him that i was the mother of the young man that was just there inquiring about a job and was witnessing his interaction with my son. I asked why he lied and said you must be 17 to work there? He responded " they work late and around oil which is dangerous so they must be 17. I explained to him that i just looked it up and it stated he must be 16 he then said "oh ok if that's what is says then ill give him application". I explained to him that i was extremely confused as to how he would not know the appropriate hiring age for a company he manages especial since the girl that just told me you had to be 16 to work there was 16 herself (she told us her age when we asked). He then said im busy and hung up the phone. I WILL NEVER EAT AT THIS PLACE AGAIN. Sad thing that my son had to experience...

Best Chicken ever. This location makes it the best. I usually have the delicious chicken sandwich, but this time I went with family and used the coupon a manager had given me in the previous months. The dark meat chicken so amazingly delicious. I never each 3 pieces of fried chickengeneral 2, but that is how delicious it was that day. The biscuits was just the right amount of buttery tasting. I also thoroughly enjoy the cole slaw. It was not loaded with mayo like KFC or other places that make cole slaw (No a fan of KFC. Stopped going there 20 years ago) . I had second helping. Lol, I only intended to a a piece of chicken and the Cancun fries, it turned out I had dinner so so sooooo good. This Popeye's location is the best. The Mangers and staff are wonderful. A+ on the chilled Strawberry lemonade. Just an FYI: Popeye's was talk about on a radio statio the DJ said she loved the chicken sandwich and it was so good. I had to try taste it for myself and she...

I had to edit my first review. My first review was 5 stars. Not a single complaint. This time around, not so much. I came here to go through the drive-through to get lunch but when I pulled up to the order menu in the Drive-Thru I waited for 5 minutes and no one answered my hellos. I had to pull around and come inside, and when I told the cashier that I have been waiting at the drive-thru for service for 5 minutes, I got an eye roll and a little bit of an attitude. I then over heard the drive-thru attendant say that I could have been a little more patient. I could have been patient if you could have at least said "Hi thank you for coming to Popeyes please hold for one second!" or something along those lines. I would have known that you knew I was there. Next time I go there if I get good service I will...
