| - Today (08/22/16) was the grand opening for Popeyes Chicken by my home in Goodyear and I had to give it a try. If you can believe it, this guy has never been to a Popeyes and was pretty stoked to try it. Popeyes has my two favorites: chicken tenders and Coke and I thought for sure I would give them five stars. Now before I give my thoughts, I need to state that I am a Chickfila fanatic. I live at Chickfila, I sell others on Chickfila, and I could literally eat there for every meal of the day. So my standards are high when it comes to the chicken fast food experience. With all that said, I really enjoyed the Popeyes food but the customer service was average at best. With today being day one, I expected employees with enthusiasm and that they would be on top of things. That was not the case. The young lady handling the drive thru lacked much personality and kept wanting me to finish my order after each item I selected. So after arriving home with the families grub I was very frustrated to see we were shorted on the chicken tender dipping sauces. Like we literally were missing half our requested sauces. To me, chicken tender sauce is vital and I can not stand eating without it. Now for the food, it did not disappoint. The tenders were tender, juicy and very flavorful. We tried both, regular and spicy and enjoyed both. The sauces (1 sweet heat and 1 mardi gras mustard) I did have were great. The sweet heat was the winner and one of the better dipping sauces I have had. For sides, we had the green beans and mashed potatoes and liked them both. The order also came with a biscuit and I did enjoy the one bite I had. This yelper is trying to watch calories and I had to draw the line somewhere. I did want to scarf the whole thing though after that one bite. Overall, I will try them again and if the service is good, I have no problem giving them the four stars they are capable of having. I will continue to leave my 5 stars for Chickfila but Popeyes is a good backup. JUST DON'T FORGET MY SAUCE!!!!! :)
