Last Saturday, I decided to give Popeyes a try. This location is the closest to my work. I was doing a staycation and it was the closest one to where I was staying.
Although this parking lot gets busy, there is plenty of parking. This location has been around for roughly a year.
I walked in and ordered the Sunday special, which is five spicy wings that go for $5.29. The woman at the counter kept confirming my order with a questionable intonation in her voice. After about three exchanges and seeing her co-working come help her out, I realized that she was learning the ropes.
I was waiting for order 76 to be called. I stood there by the drink area. There isn't a ton of room to stand there, unless you want to move over to sit down and wait.
The new woman came over and wanted to get water from the fountain drink area. She didn't know how to. I was helping her out. It turns out that there is a tiny knob in front of the ice where you can get straight water. We both learned a lot. I told her that she was doing fine, which seemed to put her at ease.
I was advised that my wait time for the wings was eight minutes. The woman made sure that the guy deep-frying them was on course. Cool.
I got my order. I thanked her and she smiled back.
I went back to my hotel to eat. I had pop and some other food that would accompany the wings nicely. The wings were so good. I loved the kick. The crispiness was perfect and the wings were meaty.
I am still in my fried chicken phase. I am sure that I'll be back to try some more items.
