Popeyes customers report widespread issues with incorrect or missing order items, excessive wait times (often 20-45 minutes), and poor food quality including old, cold, or undercooked chicken. Staff behavior is frequently cited as rude and unprofessional, with reports of arguing employees and dismissive managers. Many locations are chronically out of basic items like fries, coleslaw, and even chicken.

I just left the Popeyes location in Prescott Valley, AZ. I have never been treated so poorly in my entire life! I waited for 30 min for an online order. I was never greeted or acknowledged in any manner. When I asked when the order would be ready I was ignored.

The very young woman at the front counter walked around me twice to take food to patrons who were also waiting on their food. I asked the young woman who was so rude, what her name was, she would not answer me.

When I asked who the manager was, the older woman in the drive thru, peeked around the corner and pointed to this young woman. I will NEVER go into a Popeyes again.

Wait time, Price and Quality all extremely poor! Spent close to $30 and the chicken is dry and meatless! Never again! Someone needs to visit regularly in NSB Fl to get their quality back on track

Filled out code for free two piece chicken plus biscuit and you buy large drink, went to redeem and told us they were out of large cups so we had to get a small drink but pay for a large… exactly what kind of business management is that?

I visited your location on HWY 58 in Chattanooga TN on 4/1/2023. After placing my order it took 16 minutes for me to get my food. When I got to my destination and had a chance to look at the food I could tell it had been left under the heat lamp way to long.

Now this isn't my first negative experience at this location but it is the first time my food was unpalletable. It seems that the individuals you have employed there lack customer service skills as well as an understanding of time and temp in regards to the product.

I'm pretty sure this will be my last patronizing this location..

I visited Popeyes twice today at 60 N Stephanie St, Henderson NV 89074.. The first time was at 6:30pm and the 2nd time was around 7:30pm on the date of April1st, 2023. The employee named Ray, he might be a manager made the wirk environment very hostile.

I was disgusted how he treated his fellow employees. Screaming at them and yelling at them saying make the drink now!!! Or go over there now and do blah blah blah. This is no way to conduct yourself at work and belittling the employees in front of everyone in the lobby is unexceptable, Please help the workers and deal with Ray..

an argument insued that went back and forth until he got his order and left all this happened in front of myself and the other customers as we continued to wait the manager did not intervene to stop the argument neither did another employee who was standing around doing nothing but laughing the whole time it took place the young man who was in the back cooking the…

Went to the Popeyes on Howard Street in Akron Ohio at 8:00 in the evening the store was empty and they told me they have no chicken and no side dishes and it would be a 25 minute wait and I think that is ridiculous for a chicken place to have no chicken ready at all or any side dishes they had to turn away besides myself about 10 cars I think that is just ridiculous.

I was at the Popeyes in East Patchogue on main street. The worst customer service I have ever had in my life they don’t even pay attention to you. It took a half an hour to give me two peoples meals and ask them when it was gonna be done they weren’t even paying attention that Popeyes is ridiculous and that’s not the first time I’ve been there and had a problem there.

Salem NH location, 5:30pm 4/1/2023. Pulled into the drive thru and there were 2 cars there. After waiting over 15 minutes for those 2 cars to place their orders, I was told I would have to wait for CHICKEN. It’s a chicken restaurant.

I worked fast food for years and there are supposed to be drive thru service times managers should meet. Both the wait time, and the incompetence of the staff to allow chicken to run out, is ridiculous.

Popeyes on 5th street and deer springs north Las Vegas. I’m just writing you to let you know that this store is in great need of better management. In the past 6 months it has gotten more unorganized and slower and I didn’t think that was possible.

I spent almost an hour in the drive thru only to find out when I tried to order they had no chicken for the sandwiches. I must have had to wait 20 minutes when I got to the order screen for them to take my order .

Mind you the inside is closed so there in no one keeping them busy inside of the store. Literally 2 cars ahead of me no one taking orders and one customer at a time . I can’t imagine what is going on on there .

I would have to assume not much work . I don’t want to sound mean but this store is a complete snd total disaster . I…

We continue to try and get food from our local Popeyes at 1244 17th St. Santa Ana, CA 92701. I have submitted complaints more than once (not a habit of mine but really trying to fix this) with zero result.

There are three items that I believe need fixing: 1. The manager on duty every time I'm there. Don't know his name but shorter Hispanic man with glasses. His entire staff reflects his own demeanor: never smiles, encourages, or really interacts except to put orders together.

His staff never speaks to each other, no one smiles or appears to even want to be there. 2. Orders are frequently wrong, and ALWAYS late. It doesn't matter when I place an online order, trying to be able to come grab it and go, they don't even begin to assemble it until I come in and tell them I'm here.

There was no ice, no ketchup, no ac, smell like bathroom and food took an hour. When I asked for my money back, they said my order was next and served 2 other orders . There was no management, only drive thru, one food prep and cook was cashier.

When I go through the drive thru and spend over $30 for a meal I expect all the food to be their when I get home. They forgot to put the biscuits in my order. I'm not going to call and bitch them out but for the price you charge they should be more accountable.

At 4:40pm on Thursday 3/30/2023 I was ordering a shrimp tackle box at the Popeye's in Tucson, Az near Park and I-10. I placed the order and the cashier was friendly and helpful. She even called back to the fry cook that she needed shrimp to be fried.

I was not given a receipt because it jammed in the printer. Preventing me from taking the register recipt survey. At some point I told an asst manager that I had waited over 15 minutes for shrimp to be dropped in the fryer.

The asst manager had to escort the fryer guy to the freezer and show him where the shrimp are. I waited a total of 20 minutes before I was handed my order (this caused me to be late to work).

The only solution the asst manager had was to tell the cashier to give me extra food for free (which was a few more shrimp and an…

I do not live locally. I have written and emailed and NO ONE has EVER contacted me.

I went to Popeyes on 3/30/2023 around 5:15 in the afternoon. It was the Popeyes on Manheim Road in Melrose Park, IL. Not only was the service bad but the cashier did not want to honor the number on my cell phone staring her in the face. That popeyes should be closed for the way customer are treated. I will never go there again. The store was also filthy and needed cleaning.

How are you able to stay in business with employees giving no customer service whatsoever. The cost is too high to be treated like I was treated.

I like the food. But the waiting time is ridiculous. The staff moves so slow. This location needs a new leader where can move and organize people faster. Every time I come, there is the same trend. Slow service and lots of people in the back chilling.

I came with a coupon, but the offer is not worth it if I have to wait 30 minutes every time.

To the point, hard to sum up quickly, lady that took order was very very rude from get go 1st red flag, waited 20 minutes for my order. I asked the young man to check and make sure everything was their.

He looked said yeah it's all their. mac&cheese dried up brown glob, rice and &beans dry with a clump of refried beans on top. No condiments including paper plates. Why would the mgr hang up on me when I informed him.

Of the mess your company is selling. All I got from him was listening to him yell at people in the background and l kept saying hello he informed me that he was busy he would replace the whole meal .

Your mgr hung up on me. Our daughter passed away in another state so I have been gone for several weeks to take care of funeral closing out her apt donating her household goods…

This complaint is specific to the Popeyes on 7050 Jimmy Carter Blvd, Norcross, GA. This restaurant closes at 11pm EST. 3 times in the past 2 weeks I have gone there between the hours of 9pm and 10pm EST to order the 20pc chicken tenders family meal - which is clearly on the menu.

2 times I was told that they could only offer me the 3 or 4 pc meal at that time, with no other explanation. The other time I was told that they were changing the grease. There is clearly something else going on at this store that I'm not privilege to.

I can't think of any valid reason why I am not able to order something that's clearly on your menu.

I went to order an advertised special on the order board. The Surf and Turf. 29. 99. So I did a U-turn and asked could I change my order for the whole meal. , Stkn. , said "no" I couldn't get a refund.

Yet the drive thru never even offered the special. And I wanted to add to my order not refund it. If I was in the store they could do it. But because they handed me the food at drive thru they couldn't. It's ridiculous!

A simple price difference was the solution. Then when I asked for the female manager's name. Henry gone say they're busy up front, yet he answered the phone. Poor customer service.

, Cincinnati 45237. This store should be closed. They never have enough employees to work & the management is nonexistent. I placed a mobile order online to pick up at drive thru. I get there there the lady says you have to come in for mobile orders for verification???

Made little sense to me. So I go in & stand where it says mobile order. The man behind the counter finishes up with one customer & askes the next person if he could help them. I politely say I was next & he tells me I'll get ot you after him.

My reply no you won't, I'm next. 99. They have no white meat chicken, they have no red beans & rice. All they had was dark meat & tenders. Wait time approximately 15-20 minutes. How does a place that specifies in chicken not have chicken ready.

This is a regular occurence at this…

It doesn’t matter which franchise I visit my order is never correct. No other fast food establishment has such a poor record. I wish your corporation would take service much more seriously. Maybe they are making your company money by shortchanging the consumer And your company is very happy with this.

On Saturday, 3/25 I made a purchase at 156 W Main Street, Willimantic, CT. We had to visit the store 3 times in that same night. The 1st time we were told that we would have to wait at least 15 minutes since no regular chicken was available; they only had spicy. This info was not provided until the we had paid in the drive through; therefore, the person there had to have money refunded and I had to go myself to pick up our meal since he was only doing us a favor. I went to your Popeye's and was told the same thing but I had to the time and I waited. I ordered a 16 piece family meal which came with 3 sides and 8 biscuits. I also bought 1 additional side, 4 apple pies, and a chicken sandwich which came to $68.20. I left with order only to have to return since they did not…

I ordered an 8 piece family dinner and paid $27.24 for my food, but I received 5 pieces of chicken two biscuits and a side of fries and mashed potatoes. I placed my order in the drive thru lane 1 order number 73.

I tried 3 times to call the store but no one answered. It is 8:30 at night and I am too tired to drive back to the store.

This was at the Popeyes in Gurnee, Illinois on Grand Ave, store number 13804.

Began to order was cut off by order taker asking how I was paying because they were only accepting card or exact change. Thank goodness I was paying with card or else I wouldn’t of been able to get food.

I ordered a 8 piece family pack today and I received two breast, 5 tiny legs, 3 small red beans and rice and 4 biscuits. The chicken taste burnt like it was fried in old burnt grease. The rice in the red beans and rice was hard and it was salty and taste burnt as well and the biscuits were not done and hard.

After that experience I will not be purchasing food from popeyes again. Needless to say I had to spend more money going to another chicken place in order for my family and I to eat.

The Popeyes on University Blvd in Hammond, La has the WORST customer service. We stood at the counter for almost 5 min watching the cashier and manager walk back and forth, change the drawer, run receipts, all without acknowledging us standing there.

Then when the cashier finally decided to take our order and gave the price, she completely ignored me as I was asking about the deal price on the app and the 4 digit order number on my phone until she finally told me that I would have had to give it to her before we ordered, and then she walked off..

we received no warm greeting, no apology for keeping us waiting, and a completely rude attitude when we asked a question, all while making us feel like we were inconveniencing her by just being there. We have had poor customer service at other…

My family and I went to your location at 2330 Ronald Reagan Pkwy, Snellville, GA 30078 on yesterday March 25,2023. How can this be a chicken restaurant without most of the chicken that you sell? They were out of chicken nuggets, tenders & breasts.

They had only 1 boneless breast ready & said that there would be a wait for another one. After waiting for more than 10 minutes to place an order there was no water that we were waiting for one to be cooked.

We ordered 3 orders of frie & one of those came with a combo that we ordered & had to substitute pieces with but they were all put in 1 box & I seriously don't think that there were 3 orders in that box. We ordered & paid for 3 so we should have been given 3 separate orders.

They were out of sweet tea and out of pickles for the sandwich.…

Always have issues at this location. This evening I walked in instead of using drive thru . Door was propped open with a mop bucket of nasty water . No one behind the counter ( 6:30pm) old chicken with flies lading in it .

After standing there thinking to myself I should just leave , a worker comes from the back looking stoned or just woke up from a nap with serious attitude!! Needless to say I turned around and left . Whoever owns this Popeyes in Raceland should have the board of health called on them .

In fact I’m doing just that . This place needs to be shut down .
