| - Popeye is taking a beating. It's not from Bluto or the Sea Hag. It is from Yelpers. Out of 53 Yelp reviews, this Popeye has a 1.5 star rating average. In the World of Yelp, stars instead of spinach will give Popeye strength. I am giving Popeye 3 stars which ought to boost up the rock bottom rating average. I am going to share the reason why I gave Popeye 3 stars.
This past Sunday evening on July 10 I had just returned from hiking up and down Cathedral Rock. Just like the Yelp ratings did to this Popeyes, the 1,000 plus elevation change gave my stamina a beating. By the time I returned to Las Vegas and exited off US 95 onto Durango Drive, my hunger had kicked in. In this hungry state I pulled into the Popeyes parking lot.
When I walked inside Popeye's, there were only a couple of customers. I don't know if it is the bad Yelp ratings or just a slow Sunday evening that caused the lobby to be nearly empty. All I know was that I decided on the two piece chicken meal with a side, biscuit, and medium Coke beverage. The woman who took my order was pleasant. She was pleasant to the point that when the other customer decided she did not want the green beans, she exchanged it without a problem. However if the woman that took my order was rude or extraordinary nice, I was cognizant of the Popeyes signs and table brochures inviting me to take a brief survey by calling 1-800-682-0219 or visiting www.tellpopeyes.com. Likewise when I walked into the restaurant my first impression was Popeye's gives the perception of taking customer service seriously by posting a sign on the door with the store manager's name and a phone number.
Right off the bat (or in this case you could say right off the bone), I noticed that Popeye's does something different that quite a few chicken restaurants don't. This difference is that their customer can choose any two kinds of chicken from the wing, thigh, or leg. I chose the thigh and leg spicy crispy with Cajun rice. I realized that ordering the thigh was a mistake because the wing was far superior. The wing was a large size portion of white delectable chicken meat. After this mistake, I will order two chicken wings the next time I return to Popeye's. As far as the Cajun rice, I have been a fan of it going back as the 1980s when Popeye the Sailor Man was the official mascot of Popeye's Chicken. Complimenting the chicken and Cajun rice was my favorite all-time drink Fanta Strawberry soda. This post-hiking supper came out to less than $8.
Now in my car and headed toward Durango Drive, I observed that the drive-thru business was busy. Whether or not my three stars will rejuvenate Popeye, I don't know. What I do know is that eating in this Popeye's rejuvenated Me after hiking up and down Cathedral Rock.
