“Very clean and smooth environment. Love the service. The front desk guy Abdul is a sweetheart always showing the customers his appreciation. The food and chicken recipe is amazing. It competes with Popeyes if not better than Popeyes. Try it out guys. Will recommend to anybody.“

“Atomisphere was kinda chaotic between angry customers, shady teenagers and Uber eats pick up people. But staff maintained their cool and professionalism and they were super nice.
I was craving a spicy chicken sandwich. This hit the spot. Had to put bae onto this location. Wish they had a drive through.
I want some today again hehe.“

“Popeyes was formed in Arabi, Louisiana, a suburb of New Orleans, Louisiana, in St. Bernard Parish. It first opened its doors on June 12, 1972, as "Chicken on the Run". Owner Al Copeland (1944–2008) wanted to compete with Kentucky Fried Chicken, but his restaurant failed after several months. Copeland reopened the restaurant four days later as Popeyes Mighty Good Chicken. By 1975, the company had been renamed as Popeyes Famous Fried Chicken. Copeland started franchising his restaurant in 1976, beginning in Louisiana. The chain expanded to Canada in 1984, and opened its 500th restaurant in 1985. B. P. Newman of Laredo, Texas, acquired several franchises in Texas and surrounding states. Two hundred additional locations were added during a period of slower expansion.By 1990, Copeland Enterprises was in default on $391 million in debts it had taken on in its 1989 purchase of Church's, a rival fast food chain also focusing in fried chicken, and by April 1991, the company filed for bankruptcy protection. In October 1992, the court approved a plan by a group of Copeland's creditors that resulted in the creation of America's Favorite Chicken Company, Inc. (AFC) to serve as the new parent company for Popeyes and Church's.[14] AFC went public in 2001 with initial public offering (IPO) of $142,818,479.[15] On December 29, 2004, AFC sold Church's to Arcapita (formerly Crescent Capital Investments) retaining Popeyes.[citation needed]On August 8, 2000, Popeyes announced a franchise development plan/agreement that included 35 new restaurant locations around Australia in a bid to solidify their presence within the Asia Pacific region. All were to be located in Sydney, the capital city of New South Wales.On June 17, 2014, Popeyes announced it had re-acquired full control of its seasonings, recipes, and other proprietary food preparation techniques from Diversified Foods & Seasonings, which remained under the control of Al Copeland and his estate after the creditor sale of Popeyes to AFC. Popeyes had continued to license the seasonings, recipes, and techniques from DF&S for a yearly 'spice royalty', before buying them outright for $43 million. DF&S remains the main supplier for Popeyes until at least 2029.“

“Came here to try the new chicken strips. Compared to my previous experience trying the strips, this experience was slightly better. The strips were juicy and warm, but were poorly battered. Since the flavor comes from the batter, they missed the mark here in that regard. The strips were not as crispy, a bit soggy, but the fries were the star. Very crunch, hot, well-seasoned and fresh. My order was ready fairly quick, I placed my order online just a few minutes prior to arriving. The staff were friendly and quick in getting me my order before the next person on line placed their order. The dinning area was clean and seems well-maintained. The staff here were friendly and accommodating.“

“This was my first time trying Dave’s Hot Chicken, and it definitely did not disappoint! I had the Dave’s #2 with medium spice, which was absolutely perfect. I’ve never had a chicken sandwich this good—huge compliments to the chefs!

As a pickle fan, I really appreciated the extra pickles—such a great touch. If Dave’s were to expand to more countries in Europe, I have no doubt it would be a huge success.

The only downside was that the location felt a bit messy and unclean, but given that it was during rush hour and it's a fast-food spot, it wasn’t a big deal. Overall, a fantastic experience—highly recommended!“

“We had the Whole Chicken Combo that comes with 2 drinks and 2 sides for $29.99. Super tender and juicy chicken that falls off the bone with delicious scallion pancake and fried rice. Overall good value with quick and friendly service. Will definitely return.“

“Chicken and french toast brunch is amazing“

“Fun casual spot to grab a bite before heading to a Nets or Liberty game! The chicken was my favorite! It was so flavorful and the spicy level was perfect for me. It was just enough to kick but not overwhelming the flavour. The sides are fantastic too.“

“Very nice Popeye's“

“Mmmm 🤪Good..............🤨“
