Popeye's Louisiana Kitchen

*Very new so they're still working through a lot of the kinks. Will update as it normalizes* New year, same me! That's means I'm dieting with......fried chicken. I will admit that Popeyes always hits the spot for me when I get that delicious fried chicken. It's soooo much better than KFC. I was therefore ecstatic that a location opened up so close to me in Randolph. It is directly across from the Showcase Cinemas (hmmm...sneak in a box of fried chicken for a movie?! . There is no entrance from the main road, you have to turn down the adjacent parallel streets and enter in the back. No online coupons yet, which usually provide great deals. The upfront staff and managers were all friendly and were working hard. I decided I was just in a fried chicken mood so I got the 8pc spicy mixed, no sides. Any other time and of course I'd get some cajun fries, mac n cheese, and buttery biscuit. Sometimes you may have to wait for a batch of chicken to cook, but sides are readily packed and kept warm in their styrofoam containers. My chicken really hit the spot and was consistent with how Popeyes chicken should be. I always douse my chicken in more hot sauce cause I like to feel the burn. Small area to the side with condiments, napkins, iced tea dispensers, and 1 Coca Cola freestyle machine, which will likely cause some backups when it's really busy. I've seen how those machines often break down and how slow people are to browse through the options... As of 1/4/2019, can't sit in the dining area yet and only able to order to go orders as they're still finishing it up. Seems to be nice decor though. This location also has a drive thru, although there's a generator right by the speaker at the moment so it's difficult to hear/place an order. Overall I'll definitely be back. I hope they can get the opening kinks worked out and keep the restaurant fresh and clean most tend to end up trashed with sticky soda and crinkled up receipts everywhere.

Nasty nasty nasty! Ain't no Popeye in that chicken. It had no crunch. It was old. They didn't want to cook anymore and they weren't about to close. The biscuit was hard and barely no gravy on the mashed potatoes. They were really the only thing edible. I spent over $40, for them to mess up my order with the wrong pieces of chicken and on top of the being old and nasty. Thus definitely NOT the place for some Louisiana fried chicken. The manager was short in his responses and rude. The fries were old and soggy. I asked for fresh and they were no better. I don't care how much I want me some Popeye's, I have tried them for the second time and I'm done. Sheesh!! I hope they read these reviews and do better.

Again! Minimum wage should have stayed the same. You get more money for your work ethics. Ordered 2 chicken sandwiches level. 1 was about 1 Mayo. The other was a 2 piece of white meat flour. Have a dark meat leg the size of the first baby and a chicken wing that was 2 x smaller than the thigh. Not even a white meat. My mistake to expect another result.

I arrived at Popeye's a few minutes late to pick up my online order the cashier told me to wait 2 minutes. I ended up waiting for almost 10 minutes. I saw plenty of the cooked chicken of all types in the warming racks. There were no customers waiting for their orders at that time. The food was delicious though ! :

WORST SERVICE EVER. IF I COULD GIVE LESS THAN ONE STAR I WOULD Placed and order online. The person at the counter asked to pull the order on the phone and to miss my chicken channels as I miss the main component. CALLED AND PLACING ON HOLD FOR 10 MINUTES AND NO PICKS OF PHONE BACK UP
