We rarely eat at fast food places but when we do it is only at places that prove themselves to do a good job. Popeye's may make it into that category.
KFC is no longer on our list due to a nasty aftertaste and unpredictable service.
The people at Popeye's were laid back but nice and helpful. The menu looks pretty good and the fact that you can get a po boy or catfish is super nice. But for this being our first time we got chicken.
Ordering was easy, the board was clean, new and easy to read.
Everything was done excellently. Moist inside, good flavor, not a greasy breading and no yucky aftertaste.
The blackened ranch isn't anything spectacular.
The rice was nothing spectacular.
Good prices. I paid two dollars less for my chicken meal than I recently paid at a different restaurant for half the amount of food.
It gets 4 stars for our first time and we will be back to try again.
update... stopped by again and ordered a bucket of the spicy chicken. Delicious. Really great Louisiana flavor. biscuits, mashed potatoes, beans with rice just average to good. But the chicken is great. Nice staff.
Update...just read the ingredients for their chicken and it has MSG high on the list. They also use a lot of artificial colorings. Why? Anyway, though the food is very good we can no longer purchase their chicken until they change their recipe to something more healthy.
