Popeyes® Louisiana Kitchen
Reviews
Best fried chicken, period. KFC doesn't hold a candle to Popeye's. Juicier, better seasoning and flavor. No depression bowls here.
Because the place opened up only a year ago, the place is still crowded. weekends are the worst. but through all the difficulties from more complicated cuisine, the store still holds up. taking the orders large and small. I once watched a woman walk a way will six SIX twenty piece meals saying "this is for a church camping activity." and after even all of that I still got my order out in a decent time. The mashed potatoes had a delicious gravy that can be a bit spicy for children, but they have many awesome sides that kids will love more, like the mac and cheese, and cajun fries which I found out are not spicy! What I really loved though was the friendliness. everyone from the upfront counter and the drive through helps when there is a problem even when they are busy. Even the sweet lobby folks keep a smile on your face after you sit down, when they are not busy of course! thanks popeyes!
I love Popeye's, but it's not quite the same here because in the South it's an affordable alternative to KFC. Not the case in Utah.
Our family was in Lehi at Thanksgiving Point and thought we would try Popeye's as we have heard good things about them. We will NEVER go back! They told us we could get half strips and have chicken in our order, so that is what we did. After waiting over half an hour for our order, they finally called our number. There was no way to check our order because the counter space is so small and the restaurant is tiny and they literally throw your order in bags and kick you out the door. All of the tables were full so we couldn't even quickly stop at a table to check the order. When we got home, we live in Orem, we discovered that we didn't get any strips. And of course, that is what I wanted! The kids hated the mashed potatoes because they were too spicy and I didn't get to eat anything. I'm on a particular medication where I have to eat at certain times or I get really sick. When my husband called to complain, the manger just said to come back in - WE LIVE 20 MINUTES AWAY!!!!! WE WILL NEVER GO BACK!
I went when they first opened and it was really bad but that's all changed. The service was beyond excellent and the food was as you expect from Popeye's, tasty.
