Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen

Popeyes was truly disappointing. The popcorn shrimp were removed from the menu. 😭😭😭 I was offered the butterfly shrimp. I accepted! They were awesome! I had two orders of butterfly shrimp. The card reader not working was an issue. However, the Manager use reader at the drive through window. 😡 I ordered the 10 wings as an addition. 😡 I was afraid to eat these wings. The skin on most of the wings were bruised and it showed through the fried batter. 😲 The bones were black. 😵‍💫 I couldn't enjoy my wings at all. As much as 1/3 of wing cost, it should the best 1/3 of a wing ever made. Thank goodness, I had the butterfly shrimp. I was not happy with my overall experience. 😫

I went on a bad night apparently. I wanted to try the ghost pepper chicken sandwich, but they didn't have any of the ghost pepper items. On top of that, the soda fountain machine was broken, so they didn't have any drinks besides sweet tea or lemonade. I didn't get a free drink, but they gave a free mashed potatoes and gravy for the inconvenience. It was also a wait for spicy tenders, but they were hot and fresh, so worth the wait. The guy working behind the counter was pretty nice and apologetic about everything, so that's the main reason for three stars and not two.

Before, I delve into this review I’d like to say I ordered through Door Dash and our bags were not closed. Boneless wings which are pictured completely covered in sauce had almost none. Naked tenders looked more like chicken jerky. The five tenders I received measured more like three even before they were cooked. The missing sides and sauces and medium order of fries just left me convinced I won’t be going back.

This place takes absolutely forever every single time. I don’t even eat here, just pick up Uber Eats for customers here. They never have any chicken ready, which makes no sense because it’s what everyone orders. The workers are always walking around complaining and swearing. If you come here and have any problem with your food (which, you will!) and then complain about it, they will stand around talking crap about you. I know this from the extremely long amount of time I spend standing in the place waiting for orders to be done. Just don’t even come here or order from here, the food is not worth whatever you will have to go through.

The manager at this place needs to be fired. They are always out of everything and didn’t have any soda at all today when I went. In fact I only got one pickle slice on my sandwich because they said they were close to being out! As someone who has worked in food service I don’t understand how you can run out of pickles! They are the easiest thing quite possibly for an establishment to keep in stock. I always came here for the food but never again until this place gets cleaned up.
