“10/10 experience at 1:30am. Honestly best time at any fast food establishment I've had in a long time! The girl was very pleasant, very helpful and gave excellent customer service. Food was hot and fresh and tasted great. The store was very clean and everything was excellent.“

“Best in town! Thick meat pieces, no grease, crisy coarting, loads of tates, always fresh slaw. Never imagine ordering elsewhere“

“I had an excellent experience at Popeyes. The food was delicious, the service was fast, and everything was well organized.
I especially want to recognize Haziq for his exceptional customer service. He greeted every customer with a smile, was patient, courteous, and went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a great experience. His professionalism and positive attitude truly stood out and reflect very well on the restaurant. Popeyes is fortunate to have an employee like Haziq. Highly recommended!“

“A Very Friendly Atmosphere to enjoy their Delicious Food in. :) The Staff is Amazing and quick to offer you a "free" dipping sauce to try out as well. It's a Jewel in this Neighbourhood. Thank You. :)“

“There is amazing employee here a young man working at night on Sunday, he was absolutely amazing. Super kind and recommended an alternative to the nuggets that I might like since unfortunately they were out of nuggets. Amazing to see this kind of service and someone that brightens your day. Will definitely be coming back.“

“WingsUp on Kingsway Drive is hands-down my go-to spot for wings. The flavor, crispiness, and quality are on another level. If you haven’t tried their Honey Hot sauce yet, you’re seriously missing out — it’s the perfect mix of sweet heat that hits just right. Their garlic bread is soft, buttery, and loaded with flavor, and the poppers are the perfect sidekick — crunchy outside, cheesy inside. Everything comes out hot, fresh, and consistent every time.

If you want real wings done right, this is the place. 🔥“

“Where does one begin….by far the best take out chicken we have had in a very long time. But what will bring us back is the staff. By far the best service and kindness received. Everyone was working as a team and yes smiles on their faces! We pre ordered our food online and get this, they got it right the first time. Never happens for us anywhere else. Like I said just an all around amazing experience and so proud to support a company that has great staff.“

“The tastiest hot chicken sandwich in Kitchener-Waterloo. Two sliders, a crispy chicken tender, and fries, all at an unbelievably low price before 4pm! The customer service was fantastic and friendly too, she gave us great recommendations. Highly recommending to all my friends.“

“The Nashville Hot Fries are absolutely amazing!!!!! The portions are huge, sauced up to perfection and loaded with chicken bites. The service is great, we had a little bit of a wait since they were making our meals fresh and the hostess offered two cookies on the house. You don't see this type of service anymore. Great customer service paired with excellent food! Can't wait to try the other items on the menu.“

“I’ve had a great experience with WingsUp since their very first day, and they never fail to deliver. The food is always perfectly cooked, and I especially love how every piece is a well-sauced bite full of flavor. On top of the quality of the wings, the on-call experience is fantastic, the staff is professional and makes placing an order over the phone seamless and pleasant every time.“

“This location is excellent! I would specially like to give a shout out to the wonderful lady working the cash register. I’ve never been to a Popeyes before and she guided me through the experience like no one has ever done before…! I felt like I was in a different universe. She held my hand and said a prayer with me before we ate the beautiful tenders I had decided on ordering. I have never felt more at home. Before I left, she told me she had a parting gift as I had made her day much more wonderful. I got a big hug…! Please give her a raise, it’s the only thing I ask for in life!“

“Servizio e cibo buoni. Ottimo x una serata in compagnia!“

“I was craving late night fast food so thought of ordered from Popeyes and it did not disappoint.

The onion rings as side were really crunchy and nice. The burger itself had a really big size fried chicken and all works definitely turned out to be nice. We ordered a combo through Uber Eats and I believe it was on offer so under 30$ we got meals for 2 with drinks.

Definitely suggest as late night food around Waterloo.“
