Hands down the best food, best service, and best price of all these restaurants in town. And that’s a shame for NOLA.

We have eaten Popeyes plenty of times locally in our area. But was told by the locals that we have to try here in New Orleans it’s not the same anywhere else. We ordered the 8 piece family meal spicy dark meat with a side of red beans and rice. Truth be told the only difference is the batter is lighter and there is a little more seasoning but it’s not much of a difference. The red beans and rice taste the same. We were disappointed expected a huge difference but overall we love Popeyes so at least we still get to eat it back home.

Best Popeyes I’ve been to. I’m from Baton Rouge, they could really learn from this location. Quality and service is amazing !

Very small portions for very high prices. Not pleased at all… and i complain politely. Then the manager informed me that the chicken tender was the appropriate size. So I placed the tender by one of the dipping sauces and showed her how ridiculously small the tender was. She made it right and brought me 3 more tenders which put my portion about right for the order size of 8 tenders. Was extremely upset at first but now I move them up to a 3 star rating for having to be vocal about the situation. If they hadn’t argued I’d give them a 4 star.

Something about Popeye’s made IN Louisiana. I don’t know WHAT it is, but it’s fantastic. Grabbed us some food before heading back to our room, ate and promptly fell asleep. That wasn’t even our intention! Definitely a must, especially if you have a Popeye’s at your home state.

Smh Lol this supposed to be the stomping ground for Popeye’s but it taste worse than the New York locations. Oh and be mindful that theres like a chain gang system going on, you gotta get ya things bagged in the lobby *in my NOLA voice* … The people we’re nice though

Craving chicken before ending our trip to New Orleans. This place does not disappoint! Fast service, friendly, and good food.

The food was good and we needed something cheap and on the go. But the hosts could have cared less about us. I don’t think they really like their job or the customers. This is not a big deal because it is fast food, but we had to go back to get sauces because they didn’t tell us or ask us what we wanted. I kind of felt bad for them and knew that they didn’t want to be there. It was hard not to take it personally but we did in the end.

For being so close to Bourbon St, this facility is pretty darn clean. They do their best to keep the riff raff out and it even smells better than most of the fancier restaurants in the area! If you dont think that is an important detail, you probably have not been to NOLA! The chicken is fried to perfection and the spicy option here is much better than in OKC. The rating would have been a solid four had the corn on the cob not been totally dried out with no butter available! Really? You have corn but no butter? I feel like I am taking crazy pills! Anyway, we will always stop here at least once on our trips to NOLA, I just will not get the corn next time… maybe fries or red beans and rice. My wife loves the red beans and rice«for a fast food place» as she says it.

I didn’t know that fried chicken is local to the South. But they really does a good job! Tasty biscuits, marsh potatoes & chicken. Fast and convenient. I’d call it a satisfying experience for a day hurry for trips.

Stayed at the marriot right next to the Popeyes. We were craving fried chicken so my gf and I decided let’s try this one since we are in Nola! Worst idea ever. The employees were rude right off the bat. One of the employees had her back turned to us while we were giving her our order. In the middle of taking our order she let someone she knew cut in front and took care of her first. We said something & she gave us an attitude. I guess since we are tourist I guess she thought it was okay to treat us like that? We finally received our order I realized she left one piece of chicken on a 3pc order… Instead of having to deal with her we just paid and left. Got to the hotel and 1 out of the 2 pieces I got was absolutely gross! Couldn’t even eat it… When I return to NOLA I will make an extra effort to avoid that Popeyes. Literally the worst experience I’ve had while I stayed there.

Everywhere is crowded here. Being alone, just looking for something easy other than pizza. Not a big fan of battered fried food(greasy), but Popeyes Chicken, that’s still fine for me if I only take once in a year. All franchised should have the same taste if they follow instructions. Perhaps cajun might be a little different. To me, they taste just the same. Then I was looking for service when going to franchise places. I thought my English was no good that the staff couldn’t understand me. I asked 3 times before someone response to my order. After payment, I asked for a bag to carry out, there was no response at all. I just need to ask if they speak English? Hahaha! As Jeanna N. said, I don’t care. Just got my food and leave. Everyone look tired with no smile. Perhaps they all need a vacation like most tourists visiting New Orleans.

Service wasn’t that great but I DONUTCARE. The food is heaven!!! Popeyes shouldn’t be allowed anywhere other than here in Louisiana. The chicken, biscuits, sides, shoot the entire menu at this Popeyes can’t TOUCH the ones in Cali. The chicken is juicy, the biscuits are moist and buttery, the rice and beans are smokey deliciousness, the Cajun fries are the best fries I’ve ever had. I feel sorry for anyone who hasn’t been to a Popeyes in Louisiana. It’s the shizz. If I could bring 1 thing home to California with me it would be this meal. It’s a must.

Please let this and the many other reviews here disabuse you of the rumor that NOLA Popeye’s is somehow better than non-NOLA Popeye’s. It’s a corporation of fast food restaurants that are all the same. If you don’t have a Popeye’s near you and want some tasty fried chicken, go for it! We were more or less forced here due to an afternoon rainstorm, but we had a good family meal lunch and I like the efficient, cafeteria-style line for ordering.

First time trying Popeyes, and was very pleased! Got the Louisiana Trio 3 piece special on at the time. Ordered spicy chicken, it came with a biscuit. Also got small sides of green beans, mashed potatoes, and red beans & rice. Chicken had a slow spicy kick, flavorful batter, tender meat. Green beans benefited from a packet of Cajun Sparkle seasoning. Mashed potatoes and red beans & rice were both great as served. Agree with some other reviews on the oddness of the ordering, paying, and packing to-go order process. If that’s the worst part of my experience, then it’s not really that bad. As long as the food’s good, that’s what matters most!

TWO New Orleans locals told me that one of best fried chicken they’ve had was at… Popeye’s. This Popeye’s. So of course, we had to see if this was indeed true. There was No Difference from any other Popeye’s. Not that it was bad. It just wasn’t special, especially when compared the best fried chicken we did have, which was was Coop’s Place. Also, the ordering and getting your food process is rather convoluted.

Okay was in NOLA for a visit, I had to see if there was a difference from NOLA Popeye’s To New York’s was it? It’s sure was NOLA Popeye’s tasted so much better than NY’s own. That I went there twice while in NOLA. It puts NY’s Popeye’s to shame. As good as it tasted in NOLA, it should be that way at every Popeyes.

Legend has it that this Popeyes(well, any Louisiana Popeyes) has a distinct and different taste than others nationwide. It’s not a myth. Great fried chicken. Ghetto location. Does anybody else find it strange and unnecessary to have a separate station and worker to pack your food to go?

I grew up on Popeyes and Pizza Hut. Everyone who has been to New Orleans has been warning me that New Orleans spicy is different than the spicy you get from any Popeyes in Virginia. I just wasn’t expecting it to be LESS spicy with the kinds of warnings I got! On top of that, the skin and chicken were more dried out than usual, but the biscuits were okay. The onion rings were subpar too. Random chicken from any other place in my drunken times was far better than Popeyes. But I will always love you, Popeyes, even when you let me down. p. s. This location feels like a truck stop Popeyes.
