“I stopped by this Popeyes fully expecting the usual: great chicken, a little chaos, and maybe a biscuit that challenges my dental insurance. Instead, I walked into what felt like the Ritz-Carlton of fried chicken.
The place was spotless. Tables clean. Floors clean. Even the sauce station looked like it had been detailed by a NASCAR pit crew. And the staff? They actually looked like they enjoyed working there, which is rarer than a slow lunch hour.
Huge shoutout to Sarah at the counter. Fast. Efficient. Laser-focused on getting me my order with a little extra humor. I blinked and somehow my food was already in my hands. If there were an Olympic event for quick service, Sarah would take gold.
And the chicken? Perfect. Hot. Crispy. Full of the kind of joy that makes you briefly reconsider all other life plans.“
“Popeyes chicken at RDU has been a stop of mine a few times recently. You have to go in thinking it's different than Chic-fil-a or Bojangles, because they have enough menu choices to mix it up. So from that perspective I give the food 4 stars.
Service, like at most airports, can be very hit and miss. I've gotten the wrong order a couple times and waited over 15 minutes other times. Staff is generally not that friendly. And the way they had the drink machine set up is a little bit of a pain. But they are dealing with limited space in an airport. They have seating nearby which is great.
As rdu opens up more food choices, I don't think I'll be visiting as often.“
“The Young Lady Latoya I spoke with today is truly a gem. I live in Florida was trying to see which Popeyes is closest to my elderly Father and get his food ordered. Latoya absolutely went above and beyond to make sure everything was going to be just fine. Thank you to Latoya and the entire staff for making this possible. Being in another state trying to order food for my Father, Latoya made it all at ease. Thank you Latoya and staff and definitely keep up the good work!!“
“Today was a busy day for the team!! Giving major kudos to the team!! Waited an hour but the chicken was hot and crispy plus served with love and a smile!! Give Queen Melissa and her team a raise!! They made it happen!! Thank you for putting a smile on the birthday boy's face!!“
“Typical Popeyes experience with flavorful fried chicken and those signature buttery biscuits that never disappoint. The fries were a bit underwhelming, but everything else hit the spot. Staff were friendly and welcoming, and service was impressively fast, even during a busy lunch hour. A solid choice if you’re craving classic Popeyes comfort food with quick, efficient service.“
