The flavor of the fish and chicken have been hot and delicious! The customer service is not bad but if you come sideways don’t expect “the customer is always right” service. Some people come in there ghetto and rude. The lunch specials are my fav! Try them out. Please be advised the menu prices have went up. For ex.

“I spent 46$ here without the tip for just my son and I. I didn’t see kid meals/options on the menu so I asked and was told they have a cheese pizza, and a few limited other options. My son loves pizza but he loves toppings and the lady said they can do a pepperoni pizza, I said that’ll be great. I was charged extra for the pepperoni (which I was not instructed of). But before ordering our entrees, I ordered the garlic knots which were about 7$ and it was labeled as an appetizer, so I assumed I would be able to snack on them with my 2 year old as we wait. I got chicken Alfredo and about 20-30 mins I was wondering where the appetizer was but within a few seconds of that thought, it came with the rest of our food. I was disappointed because at that point I didn’t need the knots as my chicken Alfredo also came with the breads too. I asked if the chicken Alfredo was a big portion since it alone was 22$ and the lady insisted it was, and I would be able to split it into 2 but I honestly feel, that wasn’t the case, and paying 22$ for a single entree is ridiculous when it’s something so simple such as chicken Alfredo. My son’s pizza was about 11$ too. Drinks were 3$ a piece. They do offer military discount but that’s 7% unlike the minimum 10% we normally get. They offered for me to pay in cash for a cheaper transaction that would’ve made my bill less than 2$ cheaper. I felt we could’ve been checked on just a tad bit more and as I stated it was our first time there, she could’ve suggested some options especially with the menus having no pictures of things to grasp a child’s eye to eat.”

Although they were busy, he took the time to greet me, making my presence known!! That was magnificent customer service!!! When the cashier came from the back, he immediately greeted me and asked me if I had been waited on!! Another A+!! I was there for a delivery service, and he proceeded to check on the order and notified me that they were completing the order and kept me informed step by step on the completion of the order. I was thoroughly impressed as I witnessed them carrying out out drive thru orders as they attempted to get all orders done, and they were so professional and courteous throughout my time spent there!! At the end of my order, they thanked me for my patience, and I wished them a good night . In unison, they all said, "You too ma'am!!! I walked away with a smile on my face because these young men were running a busy store on a weeknight seamlessly and with a wonderful personality!! Corporate, I hope you are proud of these gentlemen because they represent what this store needs!!

Jus not always real welcoming feel u get and I understand the ppl are busy n gt overwhelmed at times but shouldn't be a reason to take out on guests. So due to the customer service it would only be a matter of only place open or tht serves my particular appetite or jus out of desperation tht I'd go bak”

“I spent 46$ here without the tip for just my son and I. I didn’t see kid meals/options on the menu so I asked and was told they have a cheese pizza, and a few limited other options. My son loves pizza but he loves toppings and the lady said they can do a pepperoni pizza, I said that’ll be great. I was charged extra for the pepperoni (which I was not instructed of). But before ordering our entrees, I ordered the garlic knots which were about 7$ and it was labeled as an appetizer, so I assumed I would be able to snack on them with my 2 year old as we wait. I got chicken Alfredo and about 20-30 mins I was wondering where the appetizer was but within a few seconds of that thought, it came with the rest of our food. I was disappointed because at that point I didn’t need the knots as my chicken Alfredo also came with the breads too. I asked if the chicken Alfredo was a big portion since it alone was 22$ and the lady insisted it was, and I would be able to split it into 2 but I honestly feel, that wasn’t the case, and paying 22$ for a single entree is ridiculous when it’s something so simple such as chicken Alfredo. My son’s pizza was about 11$ too. Drinks were 3$ a piece. They do offer military discount but that’s 7% unlike the minimum 10% we normally get. They offered for me to pay in cash for a cheaper transaction that would’ve made my bill less than 2$ cheaper. I felt we could’ve been checked on just a tad bit more and as I stated it was our first time there, she could’ve suggested some options especially with the menus having no pictures of things to grasp a child’s eye to eat.”

T-Bones Steakhouse & Grill 3747 US-80 W, Phenix City Steak House • $$

“We went on a Saturday evening in February. We expected the restaurant to be busy but were surprised just how busy they were. We have not seen a crowd like this since before beginning of pandemic. Parking lot was overflowing but we managed to snag a spot after circling the lot a couple of times. We had to wait almost an hour for a table due to the restaurant being hit by several large groups that night. We finally got a table. I expected to have to still wait for service but was surprised to have our drink order taken almost immediately. Server promptly brought our drinks and took order for our meal. We got our salads very quickly and steaks were delivered just before we finished our salad. Food was cooked perfectly and was delicious. Price was reasonable for the meal we ordered. Surprisingly, I must say it was worth the long wait for a great meal.”

“Ok so honest review… the food has always been hot outside of the sides. The sides, if you don’t ask for them to be dropped fresh may come heat lamp warm, the fries especially. The flavor of the fish and chicken have been hot and delicious! The customer service is not bad but if you come sideways don’t expect “the customer is always right” service. Some people come in there ghetto and rude. The lunch specials are my fav! Try them out. Please be advised the menu prices have went up. For ex. The tilapia 12 piece alone with no sides is 44.99… 49.38 with tax…”

“I went to Popeye's on Hwy 80 on Monday. I ordered a leg, wing, and wanted some macaroni. I was told very sternly that I can't just order that and that it would need to be a meal which would have a biscuit. I asked could we leave the biscuit off and was told that it was free, but that it would could with my food. No problem! I got to the window and I slipped up and asked for a cup of water, offering to pay if there was a charge, and you would have thought that I cursed or something. The young lady rolled her eyes so hard that they could have fallen out of her head. She proceeded to give me the water, but with no receipt after I paid for my order. Rude doesn't really sum up the attitudes of some of these people. I truly believe that when it starts coming down to customer service alone, as to whether businesses get customers... this Popeyes will be out of business. This young lady REALLY needs to get it together. Despite this, my food hot, order correct, and the young lady did give me napkins and needed condiments, so it wasn't all bad!”
