| - Wow, this place is a loser on yelp, especially the drive-through. I was visiting my mom in North Vegas when she said she wanted Popeye's. So I said a short prayer...oh God, get me in and out fast...and it worked! I walked in and out with no drama and little loss of time on a Sunday at 12:15 PM.
I love their spicy fried chicken, tastewise and texture wise, too. Very crisp on the outside with a slight amount of heat, just salty enough, and after the crunch... you get moist and tender meat on the inside. it's not health food but is sure is good once in a while.
The nice very young female cashier behind the counter was smiling the whole time, and even made sure I got the two wings for the mixed 5 piece with two sides pack for $10. And the chicken was not just good, but still hot when I got to my mom's house in 15 minutes.
The tables inside were clean, and there were two parties that looked like they were having a good time. I noticed 2 cars pulling into the drive- thru as I walked in, and they were gone by the time I walked out. Apparently, no long waits that day. So the stars were properly aligned for the Popeye's customers...maybe it was because everyone went to church...it is Lent on the Catholic calendar! Haha, there is hope yet. It's a shame others didn't have as great of visit as I did.
My main complaint was that the sides are just too small. The green beans were excellent, but I'd want more beans and less water next time. The coleslaw is not my favorite, too much mayo. I should've ordered their rice which I like, but am trying to cut down on carbs The chicken pieces were normal size except for the tiny chicken leg. That bird must've been picked on by the other chickens..."Hey dude, you sure got small legs"... and easily caught by the chicken catchers.
Here's hoping they get their act together. Their product is just too good to let their lousy customer service skills kill their business.
