For far too long the Popeye's nearest to North Central Phoenix was located at 67th Avenue and Peoria and unfortunately I've made that drive far too many times when craving some delicious spicy fried chicken and red beans and rice. That's why I was so excited when I saw that this former KFC location was converting to a Popeye's.
I stopped in the other night to pick up dinner for the family and had a great experience. First, because I know my kids don't want spicy, you can ask them to split the pieces between spicy and mild. Second, the cost of the family meal was actually $4 less than what it said on the menu. And finally, service was very prompt and fast.
It does still look as if the front parking lot is under construction so parking is a bit congested, but other than that this is a great new addition to the North Central / Sunnyslope area.
