My husband raves about this place all the time so I figured I would try it while I was in Tempe today. I haven't been to a Popeyes since high school and wasn't expecting much. But this place was awesome. They had lots of staff on hand so the line moved quickly and the place was clean. Everyone was working and they didn't have employees hanging out talking like some places do. Everyone seemed to have a purpose and enjoy working together. Also, all of the employees were friendly!!! That doesn't always happen. I asked a couple questions about the menu and they didn't act annoyed. That shouldn't be a big deal but it is.
Our food was perfect. Chicken was tender and crunchy. The mac n cheese was creamy and delicious. My little guy loved the mashed potatoes. The biscuits were hot and fresh.
As I was leaving the restaurant an employee was talking the trash out. He noticed a homeless looking man on the side of the building and asked him if he would like a drink. The man said yes and the employee said he would be right back with one. I had to get home so I didn't see what happened but I thought it was a really nice thing to see an employee notice someone in need and offer them something as simple as a drink.
Clean restaurant, delicious food, and kind employees - I will be back.
