Popeyes

Worse chicken place ever! Don’t know who the genius was that designed the place but it’s too tight and not enough parking. It’s like they just crammed it here with taco bell. The food was horrible! Chicken had that strong chicken smell and taste and the pop corn shrimp seemed like it was reconstituted and not made from fresh shrimp. Never again’

My family eats here at least 3x/​week! Yes, we LOVE their chicken! This location is VERY CONSISTENT in quality and taste! Fountain drinks are prefectly carbonated, and their sweet tea is tasty too… tastes just like how they serve it up in the South. Staff… always friendly and nice.
BUUUUT, there’s one negative to this location… and that is, the accuracy of their orders! Whether ordering from the counter or the drive thru… ⁹⁄₁₀ times, they’ve gotten our order wrong! Usually it’s that they’ve forgotten an item or two… or even three! Seriously!
SOOO, since this is the most convenient location for my family, and we DO like their chicken and staff… we will continue to frequent this location. Now we make it a habit to ALWAYS check our order before we leave the window. If it wasn’t for this CONSISTENT flaw, they’d definitely get 5 stars!
TIP: If you happen to overlook something they’ve missed, and are already home… Give them a call. They’re good about comping you next time around.

Meal for 2 comes with 5 pieces of their famous fried chicken, 2 sides & 2 yummy biscuits! For only $ 10.99! Really good deals compared to KFC in my opinion and also VERY good chicken! Their chicken is very flavorful and crunchy — (KFC lately has been soggy skin. ew)
3 stars because they forgot the honey sauce for the biscuits ;(size of the two sides are kind of small — perfect for me but I know to some people it would be considered small but still way better than KFC, again lol. I should’ve checked my bag before driving off but I really had to go home already as it was getting late. Still will always choose this place for my fried chicken cravings :)

While having lunch here for the first time, coming in from a Muggy Weather State, the AC was broken and I’ve noticed several fans blowing hot air, the staff is very friendly and professional, the Sweet Ice Tea was amazing, the Shrimp Popcorn was ok, very small size, something for small kids. These eateries needs to ensure a comfortable experience for their customers and with the AC broken, that’s a major part of the experience.

Don’t even know where to start! Workers can’t even speak English! Had to wait over 30 min for chicken strips. Do NOT recommend this stupid Popeyes.

This is mom’s goto for fried chicken. The 2pc plate of fried chicken with one side for $ 7.99. Gabriel B. and I took the 4pc meal with one side, cole slaw, for $ 9.99 and ordered 2 extra sides, mashed potatoes with gravy and corn on the cob, for $ 1.98 each.
The parking is a little confusing here but I got a spot infront of the store. We were greeted by everyone in the store no matter where they were standing. Kinda different but it was said so half heartedly. Better to just do a regular greet instead of a mass greet if it’s going to be like that.
Our order was completed quickly. We sat to enjoy our meal on the more quieter side where not too many people like to sit, the right side of the store. The food is good. A thigh and drumstick was served for the 2pc meal. My mom chose biscuit and asked for rice that the gave complimentary I believe. The 4pc meal included a drumstick, a thigh, a wing and a breast. Half a chicken. The coleslaw and mash potato portions were small imho. When I think about it, I could’ve gotten a whole cooked chicken from Safeway or Foodland for a little less. It would’ve cost less too. We would’ve been full on that and have a few pieces left over.
Store is very clean with nice Tex Mex deco of oranges, browns and yellows. In almost every area you look is a sign letting you know you can get 25% off your entire order if you text «chicken» to 44 777 to get the qualifying code. One code per phone. Not a bad deal especially if you put in a big order. Really good to do for a potluck or a big gathering of some sort.
So, the point docked here is for the halfhearted greeting, the confusing parking and, their prices being over value.
When I think about it, it does seem like the fastfood chains are pricing themselves out of market. It use to be cheap to feed a family of four. Now the cost is up there with regular upper scale restaurant. How much longer can they survive I wonder?

Location:
They are located in a shopping center in Waipahu where there is Longs and Seafood City. It’s located next to Taco Bell. Parking is minimal next to the restaurant.
Drive Thru:
There is a drive thru at this location.
Food:
My mom likes to order the giblet and liver. It’s not on the menu but they do have it just ask. The giblet and liver is cook to order. We normally buy the 20 piece special and its hit at parties especially with children. The adults love the giblet and liver.
Price:
Prices are reasonable. We paid $ 40 for a 20 piece chicken bucket, an order of liver and an order of giblet.
Overall, the chicken is crispy and the wait time is short. If your lazy to cook, check this place out.

I love their chicken but some people need to understand the drive through should not block the parking lot. It took me having to force my way out. Also the drive to through line was longer than the line inside sometimes getting out of Ur car is quicker than staying in.

The workers need to work on their communication skills, especially through the drive-​thru. LOL But I was pleasantly surprised with the food, I love their chicken! Their biscuits are hitters too. lol It was fast service for my food as well.

Popeye’s Louisiana Kitchen had a $ 54.99 turkey only deal for Thanksgiving. This is Cajun style fried turkey — yes I said fried! We looked around and basically a turkey only deal was going for the same price so we had to chance it. You order thru corporate and pick it up and pay at your nearest Popeye’s. It is pre-​roasted, fried, then delivered to the location thawed. Just take it home and reheat. The turkey was a decent size — 12 lb! It was super moist, super ono, and super convenient. We’ll do it again when it’s available. We highly recommend it. So why only 4 stars? There’s no option for stuffing and mashed potatoes and biscuits need to be purchased ala carte at the restaurant. No pies either.

Stopped in for a quick bite. Ordered the «2 can dine»: 3 spicy and 2 mild, red beans n rice & onion rings. Sweet tea was smooth-​yum-​went ½ sweet ½ unsweetened.
Food was ready in less than 3 minutes. Came with 4 pieces of onion rings-​just OK, small container of rice-​good with a little bit of a kick, 2 biscuits-​smaller than KFC & same texture, 5 pieces of chicken-​2 drumsticks and 3 thighs– great crunch on the skin, tender meat! Was cheerfully greeted upon arriving. Place was clean, had a worker wipe the tables, sweep the floors, and take food trays in a timely manner. Visited around 130pm on a Monday.

Fast & friendly

Fast speedy drive thru service. good deals on chickens… and the chicken is awesome!!!

Had a BOGO coupon for a two-​piece meal, so one day my bf and I decided to come here for lunch and use it.
The bf wanted to try the chicken biscuit, so we ordered that as well. Once we got our order, we were eager to try the chicken biscuit only to find a regular biscuit instead. I looked at my receipt and saw she charged for the regular biscuit. I could’ve sworn I told the cashier chicken biscuit. Upon ordering, I said chicken biscuit and she repeated «biscuit?» I said yes and she inputted my order. I thought, man maybe I should’ve said «chicken biscuit» again.
I also got charged drink for the 2-​piece meal. I’m totally aware that the drink would be a separate charge, although it would have been nice to ask if I wanted a drink with my free meal. Tried the sweetened iced tea, only for it to be watered down. I ended up getting water instead.
This place does not have AC. Came here on a hot and sunny day, expecting it to be cool but noticed it still felt hot inside. Also, there’s no public restroom but there is a restroom for patrons only.

I love Popeyes and it always beats KFC or any other fried chicken place hands down. It is a bit more expensive but you get what you pay for. The batter is always crispy and tasty and the chicken is always moist and not overly dry. And I love that there is a spicy option.
The sides are always good and have more taste than their competitors. The mashed potatoes with the Cajun gravy, Cajun rice, and coleslaw all compliment the chicken.
They also offer other items like their shrimp and chicken sandwiches.
Get the sweet tea for a drink instead of your regular soda.
The drive thru is always fast. I just recently ordered a big box of chicken for a party at the drive thru and was told to park in the front, but it only took 3 – 5 minutes for the box of chicken to come out.

Great customer service everytime.
Meal is always nice warm and steamy.
You can find good deals/​coupons for an even cheaper place.
Dont’ really have any complaints. I prefer popeyes over KFC any day and this popeyes is great! One of my go-​tos when I get lazy.

I love this location of Popeyes! They have never gotten my order wrong and the food always comes out fresh. I love the crispy skin of the chicken and the biscuits are sooo delicious! I always look forward to my next visit. Sadly, I am always so excited for the food that I overlook the service lol.

Used a $ 10 for $ 20 deal here this past weekend, and their chicken is pretty good, along with some other side items. They are trying to portray this place as a Louisiana themed food place, so some of the items are spicey, but not too much.
Their gravy mash potato side had some spice to it; which was good; their butterfly shrimp was good with the cocktail sauce, along with their chicken, which was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The service was great; even the manager had us sample the shrimp when I just asked her how good it was.
Overall a good place for fried chicken; I would go back again! :)

I frequent this location because it’s closest to home. I ONLY eat here when I have a coupon and the midweeks coupons are huge deals. I always leave them in my car and some in my wallet for the last minute bites.
I prefer Popeyes over KFC just because the flavor is much better. I love the crispy skin and their mash is way better.
I’ve never had an issue with this location. The food is always hot and the biscuits are always fresh.
One comment I must make is, the other night we went through the drive through and they appeared over staffed. There were so many people in there and it was obviously not that busy because there were a few (3 – 4) of them horsing around and inflated a glove and made it flip the bird. ALL by the window. My husband even made a comment about how «professional» that was. There was a woman with a pink polo shirt who I’m guessing was the lead or maybe even manager. She did nothing.
I know, its a fast food joint, who cares, right? I do. My kids were in the back seat and could see everything. Play around on your own time, and IN THE BACK please. Not in plain view of the customers.
And for the frequent chicken eaters, SAVE your receipt and do the survey. I got a great deal with the coupon code and saved even more money!

It always sounds better than the experience actually delivers. I like chicken, and so does my daughter. Today we were headed to the AYSO Rainbow Tournament at Waipio Soccer Complex and our first choice for chicken, Tanioka’s, was sold out. So we scampered down the street to the Waipahu Popeyes and ordered a 4-​piece meal to share.
The buiscuit and the chicken were hot, but a little more greasy than we remembered. We had a large drink and a side cole slaw, all for about $ 10 total, but still left a little unhappy with the quality of the meal. That, and the fact that everyone behind the counter yelled, ‘Welcome to Popeyes’ in some pre-​determined cadence, made us feel a little weird. It didn’t feel genuine.
At any rate, the price is about right, but the chicken at Tanioka’s is about 10-​times better! I would have tried Jolly Bee’s, but I didn’t know where in Waipahu they were located. Darn.
