| - Yes, it's fast food. But it's CHICKEN! and it's Popeye's Chicken! This location just opened after an interminable wait. I mean, really, it was like a year after announcing it. Anyway, I'm a fan of Popeye's in general and apart from the random burrito stand, this is about all the fast food I will eat.
I was out of town the day they opened, but had been driving past the previous several weeks, since there was no announcement, no signage, nothing on the website about it, I just had to wait. Well, it was worth it.
If you like fried chicken fast, this is the place to go. Forget those other places. This is it. I rolled in late Sunday after returning from a weekend in the desert. Finally, I get my Popeyes fix. My family thinks I'm just weird, but whatever. They were not very busy, but they were fully staffed. I placed a large order, family style and ordered chicken, shrimp, fries and the usual sides, red beans and rice and coleslaw. Our order was packaged up and we dragged it back to the homestead for a feast.
Damn! as soon as we unpacked the vittles, my daughter noticed the fries were missing. NOT a good start. I called the store, as it was too far to drive back and get them. Somebody told me I would be "put on a list" and they would "remember me". I'm very dubious of that happening. Next time, I will check the order right there before leaving.
Apart from that little slip-up, everything was delicious and we quickly scarfed the meal.
