a bunch of wings.

 

[Terrymist]

It tasted good! It wasn't swimming in lots of oil, which is a plus for me.

Did you try the red beans and rice? That is one of their staples.

I didn't know you guys had Popeyes over there.

I had Popeyes once. I know it is probably a sin at this point but I ain't feeling it. I think the oil they use or something put me off. The texture and juiciness of the chicken is great but the flavor and oils, just wasn't for me. I find better fried chicken at smaller chicken shops than chains.

I love Popeyes, but I try not to eat it as much since it is extra unhealthy. One of my family members feel the same way you do.

I am one of the few who don't even like it. I love the mashed potatoes and gravy.

greasy but good

I use honey with my biscuits. And often the customer service at the locations near me is not good.

I haven't had the wings at Popeyes yet. I have only had legs.

It can be a bit mushy but it’s the only one of its kind in the quick service industry.

Used to love me some Popeyes and CHurch's back in the 90's but both fell off heavy in the last decade. Those wings are good as hell, but something about the texture leaves my gums feeling funny. THe sides have been bad too of late. Bojangles thooooooooooo

The customer service was alright. Ordered the food using the touch screen, then collected it from the counter. The staff were friendly enough. The one I went to was in a food court in a mall.
Didn’t try the biscuits though. Getting the impression the biscuits don't have a good reputation. How bad of a reputation do they have?

Didn't try the red beans and rice as they didn't have it on the menu. However, they do have a red bean sandwich. Only clocked it on the menu as soon as I was leaving. The red beans any good?

Yeah, it's a relatively recent thing. The first branch opened here about 18 months ago.
