I had always wondered what Popeyes would be like - and for a vegetarian like me, I knew there wouldnt be much to partake in. That said, my hubby and I went there mid week - mid afternoon - and to our suprise, even at that time of day it was packed. People were hanging out for tables - and luckily I got one.
I can tell you that without question - the biscuits are incredible. SO GOOD - so good in fact that we got a half dozen to take home.
I ordered some sides - the coleslaw is deliciously different with dill in it. The mashed potatoes are comforting and tasty, and the macaroni and cheese is rich and definitely a guilty pleasure.
Now I didnt have the chicken - but my hubby said it was delicious- moist and tender - not greasy, but with lots of crispy batter.
All around I saw people with insane amounts of chicken on their trays - and with all that crazy flaky breading - it all did look quite good.
The service is fast and the team there are clearly well trained - its a well oiled machine in there.
Piece of advice - go during off peak hours, and grab a table and then send someone up to order for you all, or you may end up without a table.
Popeyes lives up to the hype.
