The Popeyes Restaurant located on 7131 Reading Rd in Cincinnati, Ohio, 45237 is the worst Popeyes I have been to. The service is slow and the people are rude. The last time I was there you could not enter the restaurant and the register wasn't working. I would advise upper management to look at this Popeyes for better service. In my opinion it is the worst Popeyes in Cincinnati.

Popeyes Service

1. Popeye's either doesn't have chicken or sides. I'm not sure how a chicken place can't have chicken. And this can be as early as 1:00 p.m. in the afternoon

2. You have to have exact change or amount of money.

3. Whatever specials they are offering they don't have.

I suggest someone from corporate office do a surprise visit and catch them in the act.

Desired outcome: Better service. Provide the food that they are advertising.

Popeyes Biscuits

I have never been to Popeyes. We are vegetarians. I saw your commercial and your biscuits looked great.

We pulled over to your Berkeley location on San Pablo Avenue.

We bought one coleslaw and 6 biscuits.

There wasn’t any butter but I don’t know if that’s what accompanies the biscuits.

We went straight home. I opened the box and they were hard as rocks 🪨 !

Door stops !

We don’t know if this was a joke.

Desired outcome: An apology and our money back. Disgraceful. Was this a joke ?

Popeyes Drove through drive-thru

My complaint is that I ordered two popcorn meals and in the boxes only gave me 10 pieces of popcorn I don't understand how your meal should be or look but 10 pieces it's ridiculous for almost 10 bucks I live in San Marcos California had to drive all the way to Escondido because we do not have a Popeyes in San Marcos and to find out I have a box that's halfway empty for almost 10 bucks

Desired outcome: I pay money I want what I paid for

Popeyes inability to have food orders the way I ask

I contacted the popeyes in Anchorage prior to making a door dash order to ask for all dark meat.

I was told they couldn't do anything til the order came in so I then ordered the food and was told that I could not change it to all dark meat.

everytime I place an order at this popeyes there is a problem last time I ordered a 4 piece meal and was charged for it but I received a 3 piece meal instead.

I really like Popeyes but as a customer I can't should not be a phrase used.

I have been a restaurant and retail manager before and if you tell customers you will do something you should do it.

Please talk to the staff and store manager about customer service.

I guess I will have to use another place to order lunch from.

I am just very disappointed in the customer service atmosphere at this particular store.

Desired outcome: more professionalism better service honesty in business practices.

We had been looking forward to eating at Popeyes after it had been closed for a month or so. First of all we arrive and there is a super long line to order inside, I see there is like 20 or so employees just going back and forth, only one register open and taking forever, as I am waiting I start seeing employees just hatting doing nothing in the doorway and...

Popeyes 2 piece combo dinner

A Popeye's restaurant opened on Oshkosh ave. in Oshkosh, WI. I tried it for the first time tonight. First off, they have parking for about 10 cars and when you enter the parking lot you are actually facing the exit traffic from the drive through. I don't know what idiot designed that but he should not have got paid. Next, I went in, ordered a 2 piece chicken combo dinner and told them I wanted the original not the extra crispy chicken. They gave me an empty cup for the beverage that comes with dinner. I went to the machine, only added a little ice, and dispensed my beverage (Coke). By then my dinner box was ready. I took it and my coke with me and went home. I open the box to find that I have extra crispy chicken instead of regular. I taste the Coke and it tasted watered down even though I had hardly any ice in it and I only live 5 blocks away so I know it wasn't the ice that watered it down. Next, I tasted the mashed potatoes and gravy. Needless to say, it was not great. I went to their Facebook page and wanted to post a review and what a surprise it wouldn't let me post it. Overall, I wouln't ever bother to spend a dime there ever again.

Desired outcome: $8.91 refund. Richard Diedrich1400 Buchanan Ave. Oshkosh, WI. 54902

Popeyes Not receiving my full order

My husband went through the drive thru at 10503 Broadway Crown Point, Indiana 46307 #13791. Ordered a 16 pc. family meal, went through drive thru fairly quickly. Check his bags and the 2 mashed potatoes and gravy were missing. He went all the way back into the store and they gave him the 2 sides no problem. Drives 29 miles home and we start to serve up the food and realize that our 16 piece is only a 12 piece. We were missing our 4 wings. So I called the store and the gentleman told me that I would have to bring my receipt and the box of chicken back to the store. I proceeded to tell him that I live 29 miles away from the store and asked if I could send my son there to get the chicken? He started to tell me that I coiuldn't do that because I would have to bring the chicken box and my receipt back to the store. I told him yet again that I live 29 miles from there and than he told me I could send my son in with a picture of the receipt and they would give him my chicken. I am not at complaining about how the food taste or anything like that but I am complaining about the service. My husband said he was the only one in the drive thru and there was no one inside the store. Don't quite understand what the problem was or is. But apparently they need some extra training.

Desired outcome: I really want what we paid for and do not want to be made to feel like I'm cheating them because they do not know how to count out 16 pieces of Chicken or 3 large sides.

Popeyes Service and products served.

We have a location in Hockley Texas, store number 12607 and have had very bad food and service our last 4 visits. Our last visit on [protected] was the worst so far and we became very sick from the chicken we ordered. The chicken was old and dry and almost black by the bone of the thigh and once I noticed the color did not continue eating it and discarded it. About midnight I started vomiting over and over for 8 hours and diarrhea for days and continue today with intestinal issues. My doctor did diagnose it as food poisoning. My wife ate shrimp and was supposed to have hushpuppies but they gave her fries and also got sick with vomiting for 6 hours and diarrhea also diagnosed as food poisoning. There needs to be many issues addressed at this location. We have brought up several issues with the management at the location and they do not care about your customers and have not fixed any issues and with this last visit and getting so sick we needed to go further. This experience has made us consider to not eat at Popeyes again. My name is Steven May [protected] if you need more information.

Desired outcome: Someone needs to go to this location and teach this Francise how to properly run and maintain the facility not to poison their customers and how to treat them properly.

To whom it may concern: On October 19, 2022, I purchased a chicken nugget meal (which included cold slaw) from the Popeyes restaurant located at 4913 Allentown Road, Suitland, MD. Later, I noticed that the cold slaw had an expiration date of September 2022. Needless to say, expired food is a health hazard and should be disposed of properly. In the...

Popeyes Service my wife and I got today at Popeyes# 5890

We were going through the drive through, could barely hear the young man taking our order, and had to ask him to repeat himself several times. We were told that our order came to $12.54, when we got to the window he asked for $19.?. We told him how much we owed and that he must have the order mixed up. After a minute or so he said okay I got it. We proceeded to pay and asked him for some napkins with our order, he said no problem. Another girl handed us our drink, then he also tried to give us a drink. Told him we already had our drink. Then he gave us our order and shut the window. We looked inside the bag and there weren't any napkins so I taped on the window to get his attention. He slid the window open and "What's Up" like we were bothering him or something. I said you forgot our napkins, my wife also said we needed some napkins. He must have thought my wife saying something at the same time I was saying it was too loud. He stated you don't have to get all loud about it. We pulled away, looked at our order and it was wrong. We ordered a five piece chicken tender box, because they didn't have the chicken sandwich we wanted because they were frozen and would take 30 minutes to thaw out (at 12:28PM) go figure. Anyway, we were given a 3 piece chicken tender box. My wife took the order back in to correct the problem, and the guy still had an attitude, stating there only 3 people there working. No real apologies or anything. There are more chicken places than Popeyes!

Desired outcome: There should have been some type of Manager, or Shift Leader there to rectify the situation before it even got to the level it did. We've never in our lifetime received such a rude attitude from an employee in a fast food establishment.

Popeyes Customer service-Teresa 10/18

I had the unpleasantness to have Teresa “help” me. As she began the conversation, I noticed she was snippy but trudged on. She continually cut across me while talking, never stopping to listen to the issue or be empathetic! Unsure if she was on her way to break, lunch or home but either way I shouldn’t have been treated so rudely. I have had issues with this location before but there aren’t any others around. They may be overworked & underpaid but I should never feel any of these issues! Then to contact c/s and be talked to condescending by Teresa and in mid sentence she hung up! I am livid! If someone can contact me ASAP

[protected]@yahoo.com

Truly unhappy customer,

Juanita Jennings

Desired outcome: Someone to contact me & discuss her actions, as well as the inability of the Williamsburg location.My email is listed above

Popeyes Fried chicken, ff, and price for combo and no drink

I ordered 2 piece combo... She asked my choice of drink and gave me a price of $10.89. Said drink is not included in combo. (always was at other locations and other fast food places.) dropped the drink, paid $8.89, got my box and open and opened at home. Both pieces of chicken were backs with thick crust. I had very little meat. The ffs on top fine but 1/3 we're nubs 2 inch and smaller.

Desired outcome: Voucher for full refund. I took a picture of the bones and FF.nubs but your offer to submit a picture is not working. Send me your email contact. If not, I can share it on my FB page to my 400 friends and neighborhood support group.

Popeyes Service at #11524 Greenwood Indiana

My husband asked for napkins and she gave him 2. He said I need more. She said we only give one per person. He said there are 3 of us and we are eating fried chicken we need more. She rolled her eyes and handed him 1 more napkin. His food wasn’t correct, he was supposed to get all dark meat and it wasn’t that. He was also supposed to have half spicy and half regular and it also wasn’t that way. Horrible experience and we will not return to this store.

Desired outcome: Coaching of employees on customer service and attitude

Popeyes Promotional 50 year anniversary add

I see your commercials for 5 piece for $6.99 everyday but when I go to the popeyes at 133 Hutton PL, Ashland City, Tn. 37015 they say don't offer it? But when I drive 20 miles to Nashville, Tn location no problem? Just curios to what's going on. I was just in this store on 10/10/2022 at 6:25pm. Manager seems to have gotten an attitude from me asking for the 5 piece deal..

Desired outcome: To receive what's being advertised over the air ways. hoping it's not a smoking mirror trick to get you in the store hoping you'll buy something else once in the store.
