“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.“

He greeted us with a smile, took our order accurately, and made sure everything was perfect. His positive attitude and willingness to help made ou visit enjoyable with toddler boy.

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

“Honestly, everytime I come to this location at the night time drive-thru or in-store hours, everyone at cash has been so so lovely. Even the guy at the back cooking is smiling. I know it is not easy to work these hours especially as students, so thank you for smiling back at me when I start yapping about things on the menu or other things. I know it is not easy to smile so late at night and at the end of the shift which shows there are some good people working here. Keep up the great work!

P.S. a great example of this is Mary who tonight was so patient and kind :)

P.P.S. the guy working the fryers was also very nice as he smiled back when I smiled :) Great team you two make!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Today I visited Popeyes for the first time in the mid-afternoon around 4:00 PM, and it was an amazing experience I ordered the 40-piece chicken, and it was fresh The portions were generous, making it perfect for sharing with family and the Boy manager was friendly it was busy time but he taking or packing the order very calmly .Highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious fried chicken.“

“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. 🔥“
