40+ minute wait in the drive through. Sunday afternoon around 12:30. Not great!

These were the worst chicken tenders I have ever had. The texture was weird and they had no flavor. The mac and cheese was lumpy, the gravy had beans in it, and the biscuits were salty and dry. Terrible experience. Waste of money.

I have been eatting here at least twice a week for over two months!! The staff has always been polite and courteous towards me!! I have seen the Manager helping her crew!! The chicken has always been very warm and moist, both the breast and dark meat as I have ordered both combos! The crust on the chicken has always been crispy with out being hard as a rock!! Reminds me so much of how my granmoma would fry her chicken in the cast iron skillet! The mac and cheese has always been up to temp and delicious! I have also had the Garlic Parm and Sweet and Spicy wings..again they did not disappoint!! And I love the apple pies!! And the prices for what you get is great for the amount of food you get in my opinion! I felt as if I got to spend another Sunday in the Kitchen with my Granmoma!!

I ate there and got food poisoning I haven’t felt sick in years. If you’re reading this, please just don’t eat there you’ll do yourself some good.

It took over 20mins to get our food most of the soda selection was out and nobody cared.This is the last time I will be coming here. Save your time and your money go to one of the 4 other chicken places in the area.

At its best, this location is slow and inconsistent. At its worst, you'll pay, be told to park, then all the employees will seemingly disappear and you'll eventually leave without your food rather than continue to sit and wait. And apparently when there are 2 drive thru customers and no one in the dining area, this is busy enough to throw this location into chaos. Stay away. There's 3 other chicken places within 1/4 mile.

Had coupon 8411 for 5 pice chicken 2 reg sides and 2 biscuits for 9.99. Told them please no wings and could I get 3 legs and 2 thighs. They said absolutely. I live 20 minutes from there. When I got home I had 2 legs and a wing and no biscuits. It's too far to drive back so I called 9 times and no answer. First time eating at our new Popeyes and the last. No wonder there was nobody in the drive thru or inside dinning.

FOR PEOPLE WHO MAKE $15 AN HOUR OR MORE.When I went it was Sunday night when I got there there was no one in the parking lot except for cars of people who work there, Within a couple of minutes two cars went through the drive-thru with no problem, I heard them say "Can I take your order" as soon as they pulled up. So I can already tell it's going to be a restaurant where most of the people go through the drive-thru instead of going in.Yet I went in it was clean NO roaches like in some established restaurants in the area.....The staff was very friendly and very helpful. I do not eat spicy food so I got the honey barbecue, tasted all right to me.But wow is this place expensive. I did not get a family dinner and it's perhaps a good thing I did not very very pricey for a fast food restaurant.Working man's menu was high but not as high as I thought it would be. Only about a dollar or two higher than what you would pay at another chicken place.#Restaurant #northcarolina #nc #fastfood #travel #highway74It is easy to get to as it is just off highway 74 in Forest City ( also known as college avenue) it is across from a car dealership and in front of and just to the the right of Lowe's.Parking: Small amount of parking yet has room for handicap disabled.

This location is VERY hit or miss. Most of the time, it's a miss. I truly wish that employees of a chicken restaurant actually knew the difference between a breast and a thigh. This is the second time that I have ordered two breasts and a wing and received a breast and a thigh. Zero attention to detail. I guess I will go back to frequenting Bojangle's. I had high hopes for this Popeye's, but it is a disappointment.

America FIRST Vote out corruption AMERICA!!!!

Popeyes is the best chicken place on the planet. This place CLEARLY has a MANAGEMENT problem. I feel the staff would perform much better and food would be ready when you order it rather than a five minute wait on this and a 12 minute wait on that. This falls on the management.how is it at 5 o’clock, dinner time that you don’t have fried chicken ready to go. Isn’t this supposed to be a fried chicken place. Get your game face on because you’re giving Popeyes a blackeye and that upsets me because like I said… Best chicken on the planet. Tighten up guys. We love you now. Get your game face on go to work. A friendly word to the wise: this is a chicken place and you should have chicken ready to go. And if you want to sell any of the extras like the desserts, you should also have them ready to go. Everyone there seem to be in a days in a complete state of confusion. They didn’t know which way was what what was up what was down. Absolutely pathetic Popeyes please come save the store. There’s no excuse why you shouldn’t blow all these other garbage chicken places out of the water. I’m very disappointed. Oh, and the chicken was undercooked inside and overcooked outside. I don’t know what that’s all about. That is never happened to me at Popeyes before. There are some folks in Burlington at Popeyes. That would probably love to come up here and show you guys what you’re supposed to do. i’ll be back but it better be better next time

Hate how you place an order online and they let your food get cold. They box/bag it up long before you’re there leaving it to sit and get soggy/cold. And then hand it to you and when asked to get fresh fries because yours are cold and soggy they pull you up and make you wait 10+ mins leaving the rest of your food to ruin.

We were so excited to FINALLY get a Popeyes in the area. We went for the first time 4 days ago. I was hesitant as a lot of bad reviews have been posted. We gave it a shot anyway. Food was fresh and hot, staff was very friendly and polite, store was clean. My companion and I both got the 2 piece combo, white meat…1 regular, 1 spicy, 1 mashed potato and 1 red beans. Everything was very flavorful. I really wanted the 3 piece tenders combo but the price was $13 and some change. I realize food prices are up all over , but that’s the price I would expect to pay at a decent table service restaurant, not for counter service fast food. All in all, we were happy and will go back.
