“I’ve been going to mchardys for years. From the time they first opened until now they’ve always been a great black family owned business with good service and even better chicken. I can go several weeks without going in and they still will remember my name, and my order. Truly a New Orleans gem.“

“Ordered the fish and shrimp platter and it came out in a box. The gut Buster in the box had the taste of day old grease and fries that appeared to have been soaked in water after being taken out of the day old grease. When the lady brought the bag to the table, I asked Ma'am is this the platter and she then replied load and proud Yeeeepppppp! Mind you, we paid aprox $70.00 for this heartburn and two drinks that tasted like over rated and highly sweetened suga water with a Lil color. Eat at your own risk and if you choose to do so make sure you have the anti acid pills close by along with some baby wipes to donate your platter to a better cause.“

“The food was really good. It was hot and stayed that way up till the time we made it back to our hotel. I would recommend the food any day. But on the other hand, the guy taken our order seemed like he had a bad disposition. I even asked him if he was having a bad day because even though we were the only two in the restaurant at the time he seemed to hope we hurry and order and go. The food was 1000 times better than his attitude.“

“The chicken oh my gooodnessss, it was so flavorful, very crispy, and extremely fresh. The managers and crew are always on point. I never been to a Popeyes that always has fresh food, but this one does.

Parking: The line gets long because this is the best Popeyes to come to for fresh chicken, the plus side to the line would be not having to wait long. This location service is quick and efficient.“

“Popeys alwsys has tasty chicken that is juicy and fresh. The service/ atmosphere feels a little chaotic, but I think that's cos most of the orders are taken at the kiosk now. I got a meal here to eat before my flight and a snack to take on the plane. And I love their biscuits!

Wheelchair accessibility: I held the door open for a woman in a motorized wheelchair. There was a ramp for her to get in, but no automatic door. I think she'd have had trouble if someone didn't open the door.“
