Popeyes

This really is an absolutely AWFUL place. Sorry to say so, but it’s the truth.
I like Popeyes chicken. I like Popeyes fish. But the customer service here is TERRIBLE — probably the worst in the whole Popeyes universe.
First of all, they don’t usually have coffee. COFFEE. This is the U.S.of AMERICA — and many, maybe most of us want COFFEE with breakfast. These people don’t usually have it.
And they’re SLOW. My LORD, are they slow.
A little personal idiosyncrasy: I don’t like their asking for my name. I am well over 70 years old, and don’t care to have younger people THAT I KNOW calling me by my first name; I sure as hell don’t want some 17-​year-​old that I DON’T KNOW calling me «Don.» When I’m asked for my name, I usually respond with «MISTER Young» or whatever number is on the receipt.
My church, St. John’s, is across the street from this place, and I’ve tried repeatedly to like this place, but I DON’T.

Haven’t had Popeyes in years because of all the negative health press and my desire to look like Chris Hemsworth, but I came in anyways. The physique is just gonna have to wait.
I tried the Tuesday Special with is 2 pieces for $ 2.50. Don’t be fooled by this. This is the gateway drug they use to bait you into the 12 piece special which is what I now have to get to satisfy this damn craving.
It’s crispy, greasy, tasty and all the other adjectives you can think of to describe fried chicken. I do have to pace myself because this place can get addicting.

I get that working at a fast food joint on Christmas sets the stage for the perfect Grinchmas, but the drive-​thru order taker, Krissia (whom I have renamed Sassy Suzy), was surly enough to evoke my own inner Grinch. She became frustrated when I asked a basic question about the portion sizes as I tried to compare the difference between ordering two side orders of cajun fries with the platter versus ordering a large order of cajun fries and a dinner combo. After Krissia could not get my order correctly at the speaker, I pulled forward to explain my question at the window. She just rolled her eyes and kept repeating, «I can’t give you a large fries!» over and over instead of answering my question. I tried to tell her that I did not want her to «give» me anything; I just wanted to know how to best order in a manner that was efficient and cost beneficial. Upon the third time that Krissia rolled her eyes at me, I put on my teacher hat and politely but firmly told her that it was rude to shout at a customer and roll her eyes. She just rolled her eyes again before turning to a co-​worker; then Sassy Suzy shook her head, and they both rolled their eyes together. Finally, the manager came over, and I was able to get an answer to my question. The manager apologized, but I still felt that Krissia got away with her poor performance as she smirked while sneering, peering over the manager’s shoulder. There should be clear repercussions for people like Sassy Suzy. There certainly is no shortage of job seekers in the LA Metro area; quite a number of people would be happy to put on a Popeye’s uniform and offer up two-​pieces and smiles.

Literally the worst fast food shop I’ve been to. They made me wait for around 30 minutes to get my 11pcs chicken done. And they were all unbelievably rude where one of them actually told one of the customer that she didn’t mean it at all when she say ‘have a nice day’ to the customer. Wtf is wrong with all of you? And there was this crazy fat black lady shouting in the shop and surprisingly instead of doing their job like how an ordinary EMPLOYEE would do, that is obviously to SERVE, they somehow got so entertained and drawn away by the crazy fat black lady and they didn’t listen to what I said. Seriously this place needs the help of mystery diners!

Drive through line needs to be renovated. The space to get in and out is awful. As for the food, I ordered red beans & rice side and I would say Mrs. Popeyes herself would be so MAD they added hot sauce in her red beans and rice. It’s so wrong. They completely messed up a signature side.

This might have been the worst restaurant experience I’ve had. Very busy place like most fast food joints nearby. Staff seem weary and cautious. Couldn’t get into the bathroom for 15 min because someone was bathing in the bathroom (happened last time). Food sits under lamps and is gross and overpriced. And they charge a .$.49 debit fee but don’t tell you/​give you the option. Oh, a customer verbally abuse the staff and the manager just ignored it. (He also didn’t buzz me into the restroom when I asked. We left without eating our food because I had to go to the bathroom. Should have gone to the grinder.

Really poor service, requires you to print out coupons when there is no coupon print code

This place is ridiculous! Every single time I drive through here I have to walk in and get the correct order. How hard is it to put 3 spicy chicken strips in a box? Not to mention they don’t ask you if you want dipping sauce you have to ask them. Stupid idiots!

They forgot my drink, gave me incorrect change, and started my order with an attitude as if i was bothering them. my Popeye’s experience!

Just Went thru drive thru. They are so unprofessional and not very bright. Kept asking us what do we want? Asked us so many times what size dish. We kept hearing ’ stop. It’s my name tag.’ ’ hahahha’. So many choices around that usc area. Never go there again. I don’t expect much for fast food but that place is ridiculous and low.

The people there barely spoke English, didn’t listen well, and called my mom «sir». They ended up giving us an extra side of fries (which I’m not complaining about) and the food was average for a Popeyes. The fact that the food was warm/​hot and they gave me all the sauces I asked for + napkins is why I’m giving it three stars.

This is the worst Popeye’s chicken I have ever been to they mess up your order they don’t even put any sauce is in your bag I don’t even ask either and they’re rude extremely rude they down you’re like throw your bag do you when you get up to the window like they don’t have the time to deal with you if you don’t like your job and find another one because there’s 10 people waiting for your job. I wish I didn’t even have to mark I started to leave this reveal because they don’t deserve any

Worst experience at a Popeyes! It was a non crowded Saturday around 5:45 pm. We ordered the new Rippin Chicken box PLATTER (add on to the combo). Got our food, went to our car and check the boxes. They were missing the Cajun fries. Okay cool they probably just forgot, went back in for em. The cashier said she misheard our order, thought we wanted the regular combo, substituting the fries for regular sides. No. We asked for the platter which is the combo (fries, biscuit and drink) PLUS a regular side. So if we wanted the fries that was SUPPOSED to come with the combo we would have to buy em desperately. -.- Instead of making a big deal we just bought the fries and went on our way. Pretty annoying. Got home, there was no habanero ranch in the boxes! That’s half the advertisement! Food was still good but service was horrible. Come on. It’s not that hard.

Terrible service. They thought I was ordering to go so they tried to cheat me by only giving me 10 pieces out of the 16 that I ordered. Plus, they chicken was all small and old pieces. What crooks!

I had the ¼ lp popcorn shrimp meal with fries and cole slaw and finished it all because of extreme munchies. I will order one more to go so I can eat in the middle of the nite ha ha ha

When you go to fast food restaurants the expectation level isn’t too high.
I was a little surprised. I got the $ 5 tender box meal. The chicken tenders were good in portion size and fresh. The Cajun rice was good. The fries were ok. The biscuit actually made me have a flashback of when my grandmother used to make them from scratch. Soft, fresh and buttery. Mmm.
I was shocked that I was full after it all. You know restaurants finds ways to cut back and charge you more and give you less. Not today.
Maybe I came on a good day. Oh well, my belly is full.
P. s. Cashier was a little snarky, –1 star

Service here sucks but it is the only Popeyes open in morning and since the boys (G and Big Boy) dont like breakfast food for breakfast, I sometimes hit this spot. The food is fine but the service sucks. Tip: check your order before you pay and after they hand you the bag. Also, be ready for eye rolls when asking for things like butter or jelly or a fork and spoon.

I liked to go on Tuesdays when they had this $ 2.17 deal for a leg and a thigh and a biscuit. That deal now does not come with a biscuit!
They now have a deal for $ 3.99 where they give you some chicken strips and fries and biscuits. They put a biscuit on top and the 2^nd surprises you buried the fries! It’s a pretty good deal and the chicken meat is really good too.

I wish I could give a negative review. Despite the less than stellar reviews on this place we went anyway, desperate to fill our need for fried chicken and biscuits. We had numerous issues between soda machine not working and them running out of breasts (… but then miraculously finding a breast?) That I will spare you the details.
They stole my bank card. Yep. Maybe it wasn’t on purpose initially and it’s possible that it was an honest mistake. But what were not honest mistakes were the multiple runs on my card at exxon mobil after my popeyes trip!
Unbelievable. Stay away.

One of the weakest popeyes locations of all time. STAY AWAY.
Staff wears dirty uniforms and ALWAYS has an attitude. I get it… working at popeyes is weak as hell and everything but hell I did it back in the day. At least make the food right and wear a clean uniform damn. Anyways food is almost always cold, and the staff has no problem letting you know that they’re not planning on making anything fresh. Best bet here is to run for the hills ya dig?! Coming from a true fried chicken connoisseur so try it at your own risk.
