Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen — Restaurant in Watsonville

I'll start by saying the staff was friendly and they were definitely an EOE business. Despite the fact that they had mental and physical limitations, they still chose to be apart of the workforce. Any job that involves contact with the public will test you at some point. I think it takes streangth to put yourself out there knowing you're vulnerable. I also commend Popeyes for giving this segment of society a chance. Then again they might not've had a choice since nobody seems to want to work anymore. I respect these people a lot more than all the lazy people sitting at home eating bon bons on the couch and collecting a check for nothing. Unfortunately, they weren't trained on the fryer. Shrimp was undercooked and the coating was raw and runny inside. So gross I almost yaked. I typically never send food back unless I absolutely need to. I feel there's more opportunity for something worse to be done with it so I just left. I draw the line at raw food. All their good will is now lost because the place is dead to me. I think it's crucial to have all employees trained and ready to go. There needs to be improvement from management in this area. I do like their attempts of inclusion but they have to be better. Raw food...

Popeyes used to be decent before Burger King bought it, but no amount of new paint or remodeling can fix the filth and garbage that seeps into every ounce of Popeyes. The service is consistently mediocre and often closer to rude than anything else. The tables aren’t clean, and they’re either understaffed or just incredibly slow. Even more insulting, is that no matter what, the only thing guaranteed in life is death, taxes, and Popeyes getting your order wrong. If you get takeout or pickup from this Popeyes, rest assured that your order will definitely either be wrong or missing several items. The quality of the food isn’t much better, with food that is often overdone and or stale from sitting so long in the hot basket. I recommend several other chicken chains, Canes or Jollibees, Chick Fil-A, Zaxbys, and honestly your local mom and pop shops are vastly superior. The price isn’t even that good, about as expensive if not more than other fast food places. Overall, don’t eat here, don’t waste your money on a place that neither cares about the quality of its food or...

Went to Popeyes after seeing the long line, police, and an ambulance at Hot Birds. Decided to try their ghost pepper chicken sandwich and my gal got a sandwich meal.. Don’t get me wrong, the sandwich wasn’t bad. But it wasn’t worth the price. Our entire order came to $21.48. The sandwich wasn’t hot. The ghost pepper sauce might have been a five on a ten scale if you’re a Hot Ones fan. The sandwich was small. The sides were good that my gal ordered. The staff were fine, friendlier than average for a fast food establishment. However, I would’ve rather spent $25 for the combo plate a block away at Hot Birds. To be fair, you can’t really compare the two, despite one being fast food and the other a food truck, but when it comes to value in today’s economy, Popeye’s didn’t come through for me. It’s similar to other fast food pricing these days, but again, value for the dollar? No. However, if you’re out on the road, the sandwiches here aren’t bad. You could do far worse at most fast...
