| - This is the Popeye's location that is just off the west side of Rainbow and Badura. It is actually attached to a gas station. It is a fairly small location, with not much in the way of in room seating. This was definitely built as a grab-and-go in mind.
I am not a huge fried chicken guy, but I did enjoy grabbing some Popeye's on occasion when I lived over by their Windmill and LV Blvd location. Unfortunately, this location is not nearly as good as that one.
For one, the service is painfully slow. I mean like molasses rolling uphill in the winter time slow. They have a pretty good special on Tuesdays where you can get a two piece combo of chicken(1 leg, 1 thigh) for $1.29! This only seems to make wait times worse. Tonight I only had 2 cars in front of me and it took almost 15 minutes to get to the window! Damn!
When we finally got to the window, the young man was nice and confirmed our order. Only thing that bugged me was I got "dude-man-bro'ed". I don't expect 5 star, 5 diamond service at Popeye's, but it does come across as a bit too casual. He meant well, though.
The chicken was a bit greasier than I remembered, even by fast food fried chicken standards.
Even though this was a bit of a disappointing experience, I will give Popeye's another shot again in the future. When they have their stuff together it can be a tasty product at a good price.
Just not tonight.
2 stars.
