“On July 10, 2025 7:45 p.m. while traveling through on a long road trip Jacki the manager was making the food, running the drive-thru, while still allowing two workers to take breaks and she kept a positive attitude with a cheery tone. Had the chicken sandwich and three-piece chicken and it was very tasty and served hot. Definition of a super woman and it shows her level of care and as a Popeye employee you can definitely be proud of her. A promotion would be in order.“

“Hands down the best Chick Fil A I've ever been to. Which is crazy to say because every one that I have been to is great.

The only thing I'd change about this place is adding a playground/play gym. But I guess I'll have to talk to the operator about that.“

“Food is good. Cashier was not friendly. One of our meals was never brought to the table so 20 minutes after all the other food was brought to the table I went and inquired about it. It only took a couple of minutes for them to throw it together so I'm assuming they forgot about it.“

“Tonight was my first time going to Church’s chicken. The guy at the window was very nice even though it was late. My food was awesome! The sauce on the Buffalo wings is not too spicy or too tangy, perfectly balanced flavor. They made my fries and wings fresh and I really appreciated that, especially towards the end of the night. Most fast food will serve you some slop at the end of the day and it was so satisfying to have the fries burning my mouth lol. They were crispy and weren’t smothered in salt which was refreshing. Another thing I was impressed by was the Ranch. Packaged ranch is usually disgusting (Sonic etc) but their ranch is the best I’ve had in a package. I have seen some low reviews but the crew tonight really did a great job and helped me have a fantastic evening (desperately needed). Thanks to the staff tonight you guys made my night! PUT SOME RESPECT ON CHURCH’S NAME!“

“Ordered a Spicy flounder fish sandwich combo through the drive thru and a strawberry biscuit. It was a long wait, but the food came out piping hot and fresh, so no complaints there. Unfortunately my order was wrong. I received a classic fish sandwich instead of a spicy one. However, I should have paid more attention to the screen displaying my order so I could have caught it and corrected it. So that’s on me. But no big deal, I went in to get the correct sandwich. The cook who made my sandwich, I think they were calling her Ms. Martha! She needs a raise! She went above and beyond to help me out. Made my new sandwich fresh and threw in some fresh made fries as well. She was wonderful! Also the strawberry biscuit is to die for!“

“The food is sometimes less than desirable. Chicken is sometimes left under the heat lamp much longer than it should be. The mashed potatoes are instant and you can tell the minute you taste them. Not the best. Service is always hit-and-miss. Sometimes they're friendly and will bend over backwards for you. Other times they wish you never came in. The hours they're open almost always vary. Usually they open on time but they close early very consistently. Management isn't the greatest. Not at all helpful and when needed they bring attitude. The store is usually clean and the dine-in experience is all alright.

Wheelchair accessibility: Very wheelchair friendly.“
