“Popeyes moist chicken”

Yvette H.
7/14/24

I enjoy Popeyes chicken at Vandegrift Blvd in Oceanside, Ca and Popeyes chicken on Vista Way in Vista, Ca chicken is always moist and hot. They're Popeyes chicken on Oceanside Blvd in Oceanside, Ca that their chicken is over cooked and very dry. (dark meat).

“Worst customer service”

Eric S.
10/23/24

Decent food but done of the worst customer service I've have had. Would give lower review if possible. Front counter had no line and attendance spent 15 MINUTES arguing with each other over who would take my order; all refusing to serve me. When they saw to me they literally threw my family order in the bag to send me off.

First of all Wheeling Popeyes chicken needs to hire competent supervisors. Place an order for two chicken sandwiches only get home find three pice dark meal I don't even eat dark meat at all. I called the number on the receipt for one hour in a half for them to keep hanging up. So I ended up returning and she was disrespectful so I left before I got in trouble without any chicken. Hire better. Will not return to this store again.

I purchased two $6 dollar big box meals today at Popeyes in the drive thru. After leaving I noticed they charge $6.99 each for the $6 dollar boxes. This stinks and I will never go back to Popeyes for anything! Beware is the SCAM Popeyes is offering! The charge was a credit card and they did not give a receipt with the purchase

Tip for consumers:
Don’t go to Popeyes!

Love, love, loved Popeye's but not anymore. 6 pieces of chicken 2 large sides and 2 biscuits came to $41.00. They no longer do the meals without the sodas so each you have to pay for everything a la cart or they force you into purchasing a meal that now has 2 sides, a biscuit and a soda. Either way you are getting screwed. Idk if its this particular restaurant but the batter recipe tasted different and the chicken used to be crispy. Now its crispy and greasy. We were both sick to our stomachs after eating and will NEVER eat there again. What a shame, I guess era of eating awesome chicken is over.

The main reason i went to popeye's was because of the Cajun rice! Now that it is gone, I won't be back in the future! I know I'm just one person but I'm sure there are others! You had a great product and some one in corporate decides no one wants it! I just don't understand!

Chicken sandwich cooked to death so hard couldn't chew it. Like the movie Christmas vacation when they cut the turkey. Wasted time and money. It was horrible. Tried to call them about 6 times but no one answered. I said I didn't want spicy and the potatoes were spicy all of this was bad

I ordered delivery from popeyes & I was missing items. Got thighs instead of breasts. So we order pickup & check our food & sides were missing & again thighs no breasts. Go to get a refund & they say they have been out of breasts & just changing out for thighs. Thing is breasts cost more than thighs & scamming customers & being dishonest is a terrible way to treat people. 0 They admitted they are not telling customers & still taking orders for breasts. All I got were thighs. Maybe they were also out of other chicken. Poor & dishonest service

There is a Popeye on Howard st and Damen Ave., Rogers Park in Chicago. That place has the most unkept, unclean employees I have ever seen. You can stand there hours with no end and they ignore your being there. I was there today 10-31-24 around 6:15. I was standing there for almost 25 minutes and I had to leave. No service, totally ignore. There were about 5 visible employees. That place is nasty, dirty, untrained employees and horrible service, not to mention with an attitude. That restaurant needs to be shut down by the city sanitation. Will never go there ever again.

I went to two Popeyes one on Belair and one on Washington. Popeye need to train all staff on the how to handle customer food. No gloves, from money to food. Employees no gloves, cellphone then food. Touch face then food. The last time I found hair in my food. This is disgusting. Poor quality when it comes to handling customers food

The Popeye's Chicken on Warrenville is horrible, no good customer service, the meat is old and dried out, I bought a two piece dinner today, the chicken was brown in the inside and it was fried too hard, the biscuit was hard as a rock i threw my whole meal away, they need to do better, letting that chicken sit up under that light and have the nerve to sell it to the customers, I will go there again., y'all need to have a meeting with Y'all employees.i threw the receipts and chicken away.

I've been to Popeyes 4 times on 170St & 100Ave, good food but can't get an order right if their life depended on it… PLUS, the speaker wasn't working so I ordered right at the window! AND she still screwed up the order…. I gave this restaurant a fair chance, but will NOT BE going back to them E V E R again…

You lost a good customer due to your extremely poor 💩Service & I'm letting all my friends know also!

Good food 💩 poor service

I hadn't been there in years when family loved it. But I decided to go today what a mistake. Ordered 6 spicy tenders, side of mashed potatoes and gravy, ranch dipping sauce, and med drink. Total 10.75. Got home and opened bag. Found chicken to be more off a nugget like McDonald's, mashed potatoes had maybe a half teaspoon of gravy on it, and no ranch dipping sauce. Won't be going back and would recommend the same for you.

I have tried many times to get in touch with someone here, you will not speak to any of your customers, you make them text you. This is ridiculous. I am also contacting the BBB for a refund. This is absurd the way you people act. You take almost $60.00 and won't even talk to me to try to make it right. I want my money back asap.

The only thing we were able to consume were the 2 drinks and a few bites of mashed potatoes. Everything was inedible.

I have been in Michigan 13 years now and never had a good experience with Popeyes. Customer service is ghetto and rude. They always get my order wrong, even after they call my order back to me. Something is always missing in my order. Not sure how any of these people were hired. Never seen anything like it in my life.
