| - It is what it is. (I hate when people use that expression, but whatever, it works)
I don't go to Popeye's drive-thru expecting 5 star service. Or 1 star service for that matter. It's fast food, I assume the employees are paid minimum wage and aren't particularly excited to be assisting anyone. But daaaaaamn can this place make some chicken. It doesn't come even slightly close to the amazing chicken I just had in Memphis, but for fast food, it's the best in town.
Stop complaining about the location, people. If you think this is a bad area, I fear for you guys. Boulder Highway gets a bad rap in general, but you have to head another direction for any trouble. In my opinion. I live further South on the highway (on the way towards Boulder City), and I've never had any issues. In fact, I love the area.
Anywho....my only gripe about this location is that they seem to ALWAYS screw up my order (oddly enough, they didn't this trip). It is also pretty far out of the way - not exactly convenient, so I don't go here often. It is really frustrating to get home and find out they forgot something in your order, because there is no way I'm going back, and just wasted $$. They probably do that on purpose.
The chicken is delicious. But in my opinion, it's the sides that set them apart from any other chicken location. The red beans and rice are a must have. I LOVE the spicy gravy on the mashed potatoes, and the cajun fries are absolutely amazing. I like to order the spicy chicken fingers and dip them in the mashed taters instead of a dipping sauce (like a true fat kid). The biscuits aren't great, but they are pretty good when smothered in red beans and rice!
The prices are a bit outrageous, definitely more than other fast food places. It's like $14.99 for an 8 piece family meal with 1 side and biscuits. C'MON! Really? Pretty ridiculous, but as I said, the chicken is delicious, crispy and spicy.
Not someplace I tend to frequent, but on occasion, it's a good stop.
