Popeyes Popeyes chicken

On September 4, 2023, my husband and I decided to try a Popeye's fast food restaurant. We were anxious to try the restaurant, and had coupons, which was an extra incentive to go.

We each were supposed to have three chicken tenders, a biscuit, a side and a drink. The chicken was so sparse and stringy, and had so much coating, we each had maybe 5 solid bites of chicken. The dipping sauces were terrible. The biscuit was hard and cold...didn't come close to melting the butter we put on them. My husband liked his side of rice and beans, but my coleslaw was so disgusting I only took two bites and threw it away. I guess the coke was ok, but not as good as a Pepsi.

I was so disappointed in the food and service that I will never return to this restaurant, and I am absolutely furious that we wasted our $14.15 for literally a few bites of mediocre chicken. Our financial budget is tight, which is why the coupons were enticing. I will make sure to tell everyone I know how truly terrible the food is at this franchise.

Desired outcome: I would appreciate a full refund....and not in coupons for this restaurant!

The cashier was simply rude and absolutely hating her job. It does not hurt to act politely toward a customer that is spending theirs hard earning cash at you place. I was at the store at 6:40pm and only one other customer was ahead of me. The cashier did not even acknowledge me or even replied with a hello back. Simply why you want …no offer of upsell or asking if I needed anything else.

Popeyes service

I was at the Chicago, 6400 N Sheridan Rd, Chicago store, on 09/01/20023 at 7:42 pm and waited for 5 minutes for assistance. I countened 10 staff memberbers, plus someone who said they were the store manager. Short young Afro/American man and was told the store was in a management team , so there was no sericeses, no services to be rendered. There was an Uber/Grubhub/Doordash person ahead of me. Yet, services were paid for. But NOT rendered.

You cannot have associate meetings, closing all services during service hours.

Desired outcome: Please contact me on your investigation!! I can always send out a horrible Yelp, Facebook or Instagram to ruin this location!!Reach me at [protected]@hotmail.comI am sooooooo disappointed with this sore.

Popeyes Cross Contamination

I'm mildly allergic to shellfish so I didn't think it would be a problem to eat at this restaurant on August 31st in Mississippi when I was traveling. However I was completely unaware that they cook all of their foods in the same fryer so if course I broke out on a pretty good rash on my face and hands and mouth. For a company that makes millions every year you think they could afford ONE extra fryer per restaurant. That would show they really care about their customer base.

Desired outcome: Please order one extra fryer per restaurant and for the restaurants that have separate fryers please do not mix your oils when you clean the oil. 7 million Americans are allergic to shellfish.

Desired outcome: Refund all my $$ back, don't want coupon i want my cash $ back cause it wasn't bought with a card it was cash.

No napkins and the bathroom was nasty! Water on the floors and I almost fell. If I known they did not have any napkins I would have not purchased anything. That’s not sanitary.. They should have went to walmart. That was a big turn off. Please check into this matter. I dont think I will be going back there. Never have I been to a restaurant and they tell...

Popeyes Delivery issue and broken support chat

Popeyes uses doordash to deliver their orders. The driver called me to say he was at my door but I did not find him anywhere. When he told me the address he was at, I realized that he was actually no where close to my home. He marked it as delivered even though he did not actually deliver the food to me. I was on the phone with him for almost 10minutes, with him explaining that it was not his fault that doordash gave him the wrong address. But it was his fault that he marked it as delivered, because now Popeyes believes that I got my food when in actuality I didn’t. I have no idea where the food was supposedly delivered to.

I've been trying to get in contact with support about my most recent order but the support chat is broken. I’ve tried emailing different addresses to get a response but I still have not heard back from them. It’s been almost a week now. I’ve attached screenshots of the broken chat and emails I’ve sent to Popeyes with no response back.

Desired outcome: Refund for order

Popeyes No food and unprofessional staff

I was returning transit from spain on the 23rd august by pegasus airline and visited popeyes at Sabiha airport Turkey. They did not have any food at 10 pm ( only chicken nuggets) not coke or drinks and the staff were really inprofessional and not up to Popeyes Standards.

Instead of appologizing he was telling me to go aways in a very disrespctul manner. Believe it is not up to Popeys standards and especially staff at the airport need to speak English and be professional, not staff insulting people in in bad manners. Thank you

I placed 2 online orders in the store today Aug 20. I didn't like the way chicken and biscuits looked. The chicken had little coating and the biscuits looked uncooked. The cashier was very unprofessional and nasty. The Manager was dirty looking and would not approach the counter to try to correct the problem. I left the food in the store, #72 & #75, $7.48...

Popeyes Rude, discourteous, slow service… Scottsburg, Indiana location

I just visited your Scottsburg Indiana location at the drive-through. My order came to $31.08. They asked me to pull forward and they would bring it up. I pulled forward 23 minutes later I had to park my car and go in and check on the order. First they couldn’t find the order, second when they gave me the order, they thought it was mine. It was all caught in, correct nothing was right. Third, when the manager came up and she got very very very discourteous and rude and she actually got so mad that she rattled up a piece of paper and actually threw it towards the counter and stormed off. The manager was rude. The store was not even busy. There were two people at the drive-through and two people actually in the restaurant. There is no excuse for your employees to treat customers the way I was treated I will never go back, and I will tell everyone I know not to go there.

We have ordered twice from this location (very far apart because we forgot this happened the first time) on the app. The app clearly asks you to choose pick up in store OR DRIVE THRU. We ordered for drive thru and then after getting to the store and waiting in the drive thru line, we were told we had to come in for all mobile orders! That is annoying enough...
