Popeyes

Best food great people behind the counter great deals too if you want good southern food close to home this is it

Yes I am writing a review for Popeye’s, don’t judge me.
For the first 26 years of my life I had no real care for fried chicken, but then I moved to the big old city and my world was forever changed.
Um HELLO you delicious-​juicy-​hot-​spicy-​artery-​clogging piece of fried chicken! Ohhh and those buttery biscuits!
Sooooo bad for you, but ooooohh so good!

Yum yum. Come on Tuesdays, $ 1.49 for 2 pieces of fried chicken (thigh and wing), spicy or not-​spicy, and in unlimited quantities! (That’s actually the only day I go, hah!)
On Tuesdays, the floor can be dirty, especially with everyone flinging around pieces of fried chicken and biscuits. Inevitably, some land on the floor. :(And it can be a madhouse with each person ordering 20 pieces of fried chicken. But don’t worry, just wait and the crispy, oily, cholesterol-​filled goodness will overtake you.

Popeye’s chicken, no matter where you purchase it, is as addictive as the crack you can buy just a few blocks away. This restaurant only sells chicken and yet they are always out of tenders, wraps, and pieces when I arrive. How is this possible? Answers range from late delivery, the product is still frozen to we just don’t have it. Really, you only have to do one thing. Don’t get me wrong. I love the chicken I just think they could use new management.

This is my guilty pleasure and I’m not kidding. They have a drive through. They serve the chicken nice and hot. I love the spicy version. Popeye’s chicken isn’t too salty like the others, it’s seasoned just right.
Out of all fried chicken, this is my favorite because it is crispy. Now, KFC has crispy versions of their original recipe as well — but these are not always as readily available as the original, plus their batter coating is a bit thicker, nothing wrong with this if it’s your preference, but I prefer Popeye’s lighter coating.
They have «unusual» side dishes like spicy cajun gravy, rice and beans and dirty rice, beyond the usual staples.
This location is consistent and fast. They take their chicken seriously around here and it’s definitely worth crossing the road for… (drum roll)

POP EYE’S! SO GOOD!
I always get all dark and spicy. whenever I crave for some fried chicken, I just go there and eat a ton and let my stomach soak in all the spicy oil… yummmmmm what else am I supposed to say?! Trust me it’s so crispy and it will all worth it!!! AND it’s cheap too!

I have been to several Popeye locations and this one is by far my favorite. I am sure they are all supposed to be consistent and taste the same, but for some reason the chicken and biscuits just taste better at this location.
I usually just order off the menu however i really like the white rice with the Cajun gravy. Its not a standard side dish so sometime they look at me funny but i really like it. They have 2 types of chicken, Mild and Spicy. The spicy seems to be a little crunchier and has a little kick to it. I prefer the taste and texture of the mild. Besides, they always run out of spicy.
I really like this place but the reason i cant give it 5 stars is because they are CONSTANTLY running out of chicken. You come here enough times you realize the drive thru is a futile attempt and just go inside. If you are at the peak of lunch, you will wait 20 – 30 mins for chicken because… They are out of chicken. This actually works out to be a good thing because you know you are getting freshly cooked chicken and it hasn’t been under the heat lamp all day.
If you have heart issues or a problem with high cholesterol, this is not the place for you! Its been rumored that just one of their buttery biscuits, if eaten, can clog the arteries of a unhealthy heart. Why do you think they located it so close to a hospital. Duh.

I freaking LOVE Popeye’s.
As far as fast-​food fried chicken, Popeye’s wins hands down over KFC, Church’s and Mr. Chicken. The breading is crisp and light and the chicken is juicy. I always get the «spicy» option. It has a nice little kick to it.
The sides are also pretty damn good. The biscuits are buttery and flaky, the rice n’ beans have awesome smoky flavor and the mashed potatoes and gravy are excellent. The cajun gravy is spicy and yummy.
The «snack wrap» is pretty good too. It contains chicken, rice n’ beans and cheddar cheese. YUM!
If you have never had Popeye’s, you MUST try it. I promise you will like it.
It’s just too bad that you have to go to the ghetto to get it.
Although this Carnegie location is OK during the day. I wouldn’t be going through here at night though.
