Southern Restaurants near Waterbury

“My first visit this afternoon. I had the rib platter that came with two sides and a piece of corn bread. It was absolutely delicious, and I decided to get a bread pudding to take home. Also was nice that it is an indepent family run business. I highly recommend to everyone to visit this great restaurant.“

“I had an outstanding experience at the Popeyes in Naugatuck. The fresh out of the fryer chicken thighs were the star of the visit — incredibly tasty, juicy, and full of that signature Popeyes flavor that keeps you wanting more. They were cooked perfectly, with a crispy outside and tender, flavorful meat inside. It’s exactly what you hope for when you order from Popeyes, and they nailed it. The beans and rice side I had was delicious as well!

What made the visit even better was the service. Lady and Emanuel were both fantastic — friendly, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. They carried themselves with such professionalism and warmth that it elevated the whole experience. You can tell they take pride in their work and care about making customers feel appreciated. Their positive attitude and helpfulness made the meal feel even more enjoyable. They even gave me a senior discount, which I didn't know Popeyes offered!

Between the delicious food and the excellent service from Lady and Emanuel, this Popeyes location really stands out. I’ll definitely be coming back, and I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for great food and great people.“
