False advertising / bait and switch scam
Big billboard coming into Batesville Arkansas - Popeyes chicken sandwich for $3.99 I pulled in and ordered 2. Total was $9.90. I was referred to manager when I complained that the total should have been $8.78 b/c advertised price was $3.99 The manager replied "taxes have gone up" I said "No sales tax is still 10%" SHE ACKNOWLEDGED that they were...
Read full review of PopeyesChicken, beans and rice, lemonade
It's like you don't even try any more, not only did you get my order wrong, the chicken I did get instead of being the golden crispy chicken, it was some dried up crap that looks like it been sitting under a heat lamp for days, the beans and rice tasted like cardboard, and the lemonade had no lemon only water. This crappy service has been consistent for my last couple of visits. I remember when Popeyes used to be top rate.
overall quality of food and service
I recently ordered for two people twice in one week, food was absolutely terrible, chicken was overcooked and the person taking order was clueless as to the menu. 03/16/20 at around 4:30 pm
Desired outcome: will not return to butler hill south county , mo. location
Drive Thru / asked to pull over waited 20mins / Totally ignored and disrespected
Placed order #12 shrimp box drink and apple pie total $11 and change. Paid no receipt given to me / asked to pull to side will bring out food / waited in car for 20 mins / a few cars behind me pulled over they got food about 10 mins in / I had to go inside to get food. No one came to my car at all. I was on my lunch break at 2:40 by the time I left it was 3:15. When I came in the manager actually had my food in her hands. Asked what I ordered I told her and she handed me the bag. I really do believe no one wanted to bring out my food. Then the same person that took my money at window and told me to pull over was now getting food orders together. I asked for cocktail sauce and she had an attitude with me about the sauce. It is possible she had an attitude because she ignored me after asking me to pull over not really sure. I was disrespected. This happened today 3/18/22 Grand Rapids, MI location Division and Burton. The last time I was there had an issue and let it go. I will not go back to this location. When your treated badly why go back? Thanks
Desired outcome: I really would like a refund or free coupons I can use at another location in Grand Rapids. Suggestion, more sensitivity training is necessary because if I was someone else, the outcome could have been very different.
Poor Service, didn't get what I ordered
I ordered a large red beans and rice and got 3 small containers. There was very little in each container and there was mostly rice in each one. I called the manager and she said everyone is new. This is all she said and wouldn't discuss further and didn't offer to make anything up to me. Not worth the bother. Will never go to Popeyes again.

Missing items
We order the 10 piece meal and when we got home we were missing our 5 biscuit. I call them to let them know. They asked me if I wanted to come back and get them. I told them I was all the way home. I didn’t want to drive all the way back to them. They didn’t give me a receipt the machine was broken. Ashley said I could come back anytime how do so know she will be there if I go. Back.

Fish sandwich
My wife and i ordered the fish sandwich today and it wasn’t very good. Also the fries were cold. Won’t order this item again. I actually thought the fish might have been old. This was at the Leander, Texas location on 3/16/22. Won’t go back.
Read full review of PopeyesService
I ordered dinner from Popeyes in Des Plaines IL this evening 3-13-22 at 7:10 PM. The restaurant is 2.8 miles away. They advised it would be delivered via text by 7.48 PM. The order did not arrive until 8:15 PM and it was cold and inedible. So 65 minutes to deliver bad food is totally unacceptable. I will certainly not order again from this location or another Popeye's restaurant. you should consider getting a better delivery service to serve hot food when it is delivered.
Staff member
Good evening, writing this on a employee you have at a popeys in Huntington station NY she does not have a name tag on and would not provide me with her name she is about 20yrs old African American with black hair and color of hot pink going thru it. She is 1 of the nastiest people I have ever had ran into in any industry. If someone can call me back [protected] at anytime I would appreciate it thankyou! Christine russo
Added charges for no obvious reason
Twice I have gone to Popeye's (two different locations, same area), and twice they have added undisclosed surcharges to my receipts. The first time they added a charge because I chose iced tea in my combo. Fine, weird but whatever, maybe iced tea is priced higher for some reason. Shouldn't have happened without notice, but I let it go. Went to another Popeye's today, was charged again for Coke Zero - so what is included in my combo, exactly? Also was charged 50 cents for the new mac & cheese in my combo - again, what is included in the combo? And before you say that mac & cheese is a premium item, well every other side (including fries) is priced at $2.50 and the mac & cheese was priced at $2.30 or $2.40, so it's actually cheaper than the fries.
I have a feeling these have the same owner who has decided that they can boost their profits significantly by ripping people off with surcharges.
Desired outcome: Popeye's and the FTC investigate and be more upfront about pricing.
Not open
I live in St. Louis Missouri and at a little after 5 PM went through the drive through at the Popeyes at Page Ave and close to Warson Ave. and was told they were closed for a shift change! That is the worst service I’ve ever heard and something needs to be done If this is a regular occurrence. I won’t be returning to that location and am at the Kentucky Fried Chicken next door at least they are open!

Desired outcome: Letting you know to have better staffing!
Maybe you should fill out an application and start working there, whining about staffing issues doesn't make more employees magically appear. This is widely known, that there are staff shortages in the entire country yet people still think they are so entitled LMAO...people are quitting these jobs because they're sick of being treated like crap by Karen's like you who have nothing better to do with your time.
Chicken and employee training
I have popeyes alot affordable best best I love popeyes. I live in broward and I work in palm beach to miami. I just went to popeyes on commercial blvd east. It was just east of dixie highway on south side of commercial. Just saying this its the first unfriendly people just in drive thru for a chicken sandwich and mac &cheese both were not close to hot food and chicken was half the size as always. It wasnt good like popeyes chicken sandwich and usually I finish it and its so crunchy and moint and hot. This one ate few bites and no not good. If I want nasty chicken sandwich ill go to kfc. And the mac and cheese was like made last week wasnt like always then im like thank you when I was handed food and no response no welcome to popeyes no have good nite just talking to friend or on cell speaker phone and thats the story. I never complained before but this was not cool. People are just impersonal and in florida uneducated is 99 to 100 florida puts out illiterate kids my one buddy has a high school diploma and told me he cant read at all. Thats who popeyes had in drive thru when I was hungry. Still will always eat therebut not that store. Thanx larry the electrician from land of the lost south florida
Desired outcome: Better hiring digression. I twist wires so u try to fix ur people to meet and greet and smile. Even if u dislike ur job.
Service
It's not really hard, but for some reason the sauce I ordered didn't get put in my bag. I have had multiple issues at this location Store 11336 and I will NEVER go back to Popeyes. 2/28/2022 12:29 pm
Order
I placed an order through the drive thru. I was told to go to the other side of the building because the chicken would be ready in six minutes before it is ready. I had ordered the 12 pieces of mild chicken with 2 large sides, mashed potatoes with gravy and fries, also a small red bean and rice and small cole slaw. When I got home, the mashed potatoes and red bean and rice were in a small soda cup. The mashed potatoes were to be a large side order and it barely a spoonful in the soda cup. As for the red beans and rice it was a small soda cup too, not even an amount for one person. My order was $41.10, and I should have received enough to feed my family, especially with the large mashed potatoes. For years I have gone to this Popeye's and the service have never been good. It has been times I have drove to another Popeye's out of my way because didn't want to be disappointed again by their service. The store is #2642 located 1001 West Central Texas Expwy, Killeen, 76541. I tried to call and no one answered, [protected]. I live on the southwest of Killeen and didn't feel like driving back across town. I am just frustrated I have had more bad experiences than good ones at this Popeye's.
Desired outcome: Better Service and getting what you pay for.
Classic fish sandwich
Sunday 4:45 pm - a Edgewater MD Popeyes ordered a classic fish sandwich! It was spicy / called the store and he explained I’m not the only one with this complaint as Popeyes coating has hot spice in it - even the classic. Luckily, though I don’t eat spicy / it was for me - as I have family members allergic to certain spices like cayenne! I would never have ordered this if I knew it was spicy. When you tell the customer you have a classic and a spicy available and you order a classic you don’t expect to bite into something that burns your mouth! It should be advertised as Spicy Fish OR Extra Spicy Fish sandwich. Just wasted $5.00. Totally disappointed.
Desired outcome: Change your wording it’s spicy!!! Not regular!
Food burnt
I waited in a long line and then had to wait more for my order and when I get it my biscuit are burnt I mean hard as bricks what am I suppose to do with that build a wall that is terrible let me tell you what I know when we wait in a long line like that it's sometimes ok but when we get our food finally and burnt biscuits that is not right fix that
Desired outcome: I would like to get nothing burnt from a fast food place nothing . Throw them away and make a fresh batch nobody wants burnt biscuits, fries, or chicken nobody. Those biscuit were hard.

Read full review of PopeyesThe $6 box meal
So I go to Popeyes for the promotion box meals knowing that there is only four sides now so I say Mac and cheese and red beans and rice and two breasts and now they say that it is an additional $1.50 for the other breast and another .50 cents more for the Mac and cheese which is now over $9 bucks so I say is there a disclaimer in advertising which I didn’t see as if they are made up along the way and they took away the drink also and they took off extra breast and Mac and cheese and I paid the $6.42 and I am done with Popeyes and I tell all of my friends and family the same and the time I checked when you buy the chicken with the breasts or does it all come together on the whole chicken..
Desired outcome: Just be clear on your promotions
Popeyes Chicken Breast
We went to the Popeyes Chicken drive thru on 02/12/22 on Arden Road, Amarillo Texas and brought home 2 Spivey Breast with a biscuit! We got home with 2 Regular Chicken Breast and they were terrible! Both were so fatty you could not eat them! We have never had problems from this restaurant! We went around 4:30 p.m. and went through drive thru and when we got home there was no receipt in bag! This was very disappointing on this order!

Service & Cleanliness of location..
PLEASE CLOSE THIS LOCATION DOWN! The physical location is DIRTY, DIRTY, DIRTY. It looks like it was abandoned & closed down before I opened the entrance door. The Staff very unprofessional. Scary!’ Believe me, you’re setting yourself up for a potential lawsuit. This isn’t fair to your customers nor is it healthy. I will be calling the board of health so they can investigate this place.
Shame on Popeyes Executives!
PLEASE CHECK THIS OUT! I KNOW
I’M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO’s COMPLAINED AND WANTS THIS PLACE SHUT DOWN.Hi
