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.

0n Sept. 01 @ Popeyes located at 122-10 Guy R Brewer Blvd Jamaica, NY 11434. My order # is 55. The two spicy breast had most of the meat cut off. The large coleslaw was half full. I've enjoyed Popeyes in the past but this is totally unacceptable.

Why is the meat removed from the breast? If its a large coleslaw why is it only half full?

Hello I am an previous worker at Popeyes on ATL Hwy in Athens Georgia and within the time I put my 2 weeks notice In I still worked but once it came to my last week my boss told me not to come in to work there is no point so I decided to pick up my last check 9/29/2023 and my boss " Shazahd Ali " stated he was not paying me and will never pay me until I paid him back for the direct deposit he messed up my first week working even though he messed my direct deposit up I've still received 3 checks after that!

I've worked for 5 weeks and he gave me back 3 check stubs he called the police giving false statements and has also kept back 5 other previous workers checks . My reason for quitting is due to how nasty this restaurant is you have rats running across the restaurant , rats biting the…

Went inside to get a meal, at at the counter for 10 minutes without anyone even acknowledging me or the other 5 people in line. Your workers just ignored everybody. And this Popeyes almost always has poor service. At the point of giving up on Popeyes.

I decided to give the Popeyes in my area a shot instead of going to KFC and I had what is probably the WORST experience in my 47 years I have ever had at a fast food chain.

First, the address of the Popeyes is the following:

9490 Alabama Road, 9490 Hwy 92, Woodstock, GA 30188

Issues with my experience (5:30pm ET):

- It took the one cashier 5 minutes to understand that I wanted a blackened chicken combo. She couldn't figure out the register so she called her manager over. The MANAGER couldn't figure it out either for a few minutes... Lastly, they asked what size and I said large. What I received was a small (fries and drink)... - I asked for sauce. I had a suspicion they wouldn't add sauce to my bag and sure enough... they didn't. - The employees in the back were eating and drinking…

Popeyes on Hughway 58 in Chattanooga is trash. They open when they want. Close when they want. Serve what they want. They never have all the good. The workers act like they hate their job. It’s annoying!

I place a mobile order for pickup at 4:15 got there and was rudely told there’s 3 other orders in front of you! There was only 2 people in lobby and 2 waiting in line. I got my order at 4:45.

There was tons of workers but nobody working, even the manager was outside talking and had to be asked to come in and give a refund!!

Thursday Sept. 28 I went through the drive through aproxiimately around 7:30 pm and ordered 8 piece family meal with 4 legs and 4 breasts with 1 Lg. Mashed Potatoes with gravy and the lady checks and comes back to window to tell me that there is no legs but pull up by the door and it will be brought out to me in a bout 12 minutes.

By the way this is located at the Bowling Green, KY Popeyes. I am waiting and waiting and look a number of times to see if any one is coming and the gentleman that was cleaning seen me and came out to check on me and

looked at my ticket and seen the time and said it has been 20 minutes so he goes in to check on my order and comes out to let me know that the person said she forgot about me and there is still no chicken legs so he was nice enough to try to make…

On Thursday September 28th around 5:45 pm I went to get dinner for my family at Popeyes in Millington, TN on Highway 51. I ordered and the girl said it would be 7 minutes on chicken cause the only thing they had ready was breasts.

I finally made it up to the window and after I payed she said I needed to pull up and I asked her how long would it be and she said another 7 minutes. So I waited and waited and waited.

At 6:13 I went inside and asked where my food was and they said it still wasn't ready. I asked for a refund and she said "ok that's fine" then said the receipt machine was messed up but she refunded me.

I asked for her name cause of her tone and she said "she didn't have one" I said " yes you do" she said "NOPE" very loud. I said "some people just shouldn't work in customer…

Rude employees. Did not have any tenders or any strawberry biscuits. Did not give me the 2 drinks that came with our order. My husband got red beans & rice and there was a black hair in it sticking out from under the lid.

So that got thrown away. We are in Cleveland due my husband being in the hospital so I leave the hospital very little. But Popeyes is one of our favorite places normally. This was a horrible let down.

The manager at 7801 S Sooner Rd in Oklahoma City,OK is always rude to both customers and staff. I have witnessed this on several occasions. The staff moves around like they are stuck in slow motion. If I didn't have to pick up orders for Uber eats I would never go there.

I waited for over 20 minutes for a customers order this time. Every time it takes atleast that long or longer. The cook has long braids that look extremely dirty with no hair net. It's just nasty there overall.

954 York street Aiken sc Is where we dined tonight. The restaurant was absolutely disgusting. Food crumbs and spilled drinks on every table Floors filthy with food and trash and don’t appear to have been mopped in a long time.

The chicken sandwich that was so delicious and rivaled chick fil a has taken a terrible turn for the worse. When it first came out I could not eat the whole thing and now it’s so small it was laughable I want this location to remain open which is why I’m sending my complaint someone needs to look into this quickly

We went through the Popeyes in Garden City, Ks. The person taking our order was Hispanic and couldn't understand English well enough to take our order correctly. We went to the window to find out only half of our order was even understood.

We paid, then we were told we had to pull forward and wait for our order. 15 minutes while other customers were pulling in and out. After all that the chicken was cooked in month old, burnt and rancid grease.

The taste was so horrible we had to choke down a piece or two and throw the rest away. It left such a disgusting flavor in your mouth it lasted for hours afterward and we both had to eat some red hot candies to get rid of the after taste of that God awful .....

We will never go to another Popeyes and I am seriously considering turning that…

I have had several bad experiences at the Sherman, TX Popeyes with bad service and bad food but on Wednesday September the 20th top it. We ordered our food in the drive through and we were told they didn’t have what we ordered so we made the changes needed to get our food, when we got to the window once again we had to change our order because they didn’t have the pieces of chicken we changed our order to they then asked us to move up and they would bring our order out to us so we pulled up waited for a little bit for them to then come out to the car to tell us they didn’t have any chicken other then a few wings and legs!! They still had an hour and a half before they closed. We did get a refund and had to go somewhere else to get food.

Thank you, Diana Whitburn

I went to the Rocky Mount store today and girl at the drive-through did not hear me when I said I had a coupon. I got to the window and gave her the coupon and she still charged me full price.

I told her I had a coupon she said you were supposed to tell me at the window, and I told her I did, but she obviously did not hear me. She would not take the amount off for the coupon.

I told her to take all the food back then and just give me a refund. They did that, but they couldn’t re-ring the order and let me have my food.

Recently, I visited your location at 7430 S. Stony in Chicago. This is one of the most deplorable locations I've ever visited, yet it's one of the busiest. The food was not good. Sad to say, this restaurant is deplorable.

It is literally falling apart and it looks bad from the outside. The ceiling tiles are black with dirt and soot. The tables were not clean, the floor was dirty and there were flies in the restaurant. You come into the community and reap the profits, but you take no pride or care in the appearance of the restaurant. This is unacceptable.

Every time we come to this location the wait is extremely long, you are losing so much business because no one will come here because of wait time, we have been sitting behind the car for 18 minutes now, and they’re not busy at all, maybe 2 people inside, and it’s like this every time, they are by far way the slowest fast food restaurant in town, just figured someone should know, the owner of this place must be losing thousands of dollars from lost revenue, 3 people behind me have pulled off from waiting so

long, there is now 9 cars in the drive thru, not sure what the problem is, but this isn’t fast food at all, I’ve waited less time at steakhouses than I do at our Popeyes, doesn’t make since, esp when Chic fil A is less than a mile down the road, their main competition is 10x faster…

Walked into the location 91 Columbia Ave E, 49015. When placing my order two spainish speaking young men began giving me a hard time with my order, one of them threw my fries on the front counter after I told him the fries o had was cold, the y young man began threatening me and

refused to give me my fries until I argued with him about his la k of consumer service. Another young man gave them to me, he also threw fries across the lobby.

order was wrong came back to all the way drove all the way back to Popeyes to fix the order. The manager was at the window. She was very nasty and disrespectful. She actually close the window in my face because I told her to strawberry lemonade and she kept saying mango and I told her I never said mango, and she said I don't have to talk to you and slam the window in my face.

Went to N. Wickham location in Melbourne, FL. (recently opened) on 9/16 approx 4:45 pm. Before I went there, I called to place an order. I was told they don't take orders over the phone and I would have to use an app. The app does not allow you to choose the type of chicken pieces one wants.

I went there with my son. Ordered 2 family meals (6 pcs, 2 sandos, 2 sides, 4 biscuits PER MEAL). The sides I ordered were 2 mac/ch, 2 mashed potatoes and gravy. I was charged an extra .50 per mac/cheese. Told it was an upcharge - nothing mentioned about that on website. Only 2 sando's were put in bag. My son had to remind the young kid that it was 2 sandos per meal order. The kid said, oh yeah. My bill was $79.02!! I could have spent that somewhere else and most likely received way better service.

The popyes in Port Vincent had the nicest workers up until a week ago. I walked inside there were 2 speakers on the counter blaring AC/DC HARD ROCK MUSIC. The music was so loud. No one acknowledged me. I stood at the counter for 5 min with the music blaring so loud and no one spoke to me. That was yesterday. I left.

I decided to try them again tonight. It was 9:00. I was the only customer, pulled up at drivethru and was greeted by the rudiest voice saying “Welcome to Popeyes, you have to wait in a rude tone. So I drove off.

Why did I have to wait? I looked thru the window and did not see anyone. I was the only customer. Don’t know what happened to the wonderful crew that was there but please find better help. I wont be back to that location and I live 4 min from there and eat there at…

We drove up to the drive thru and ordered. Then looked on the board where what we ordered was listed. It was all wrong. My husband Jay tried to tell the woman taking the order that it was wrong. The more he talked the angrier she got.

She said come around sir in a very hateful tone. He kept on trying to tell her what he wanted and it was wrong and she got louder and finally said it would be right when he came around. It says on the receipt Host: Marilyn.

It was 9/16/2023 @ 4:06PM ticket 632. We were going to pay with credit card and now a young man taking the money said Popeyes only takes cash. So we gave him cash. I know we have used a card at Popeyes before.

Ordered a meal to be delivered. When I used the online virtual assistant, it offered points that came to the amount of two biscuits. The amount I paid for missing Lg Fries and Lg mashed potatoes w/gravy far outweighs the costs for two biscuits.

This does not compute and is quite literally robbery. I then contacted the store directly about the two items that weren't delivered (Lg Fries and Lg mashed potatoes w/gravy) the "night manager", he stated that he could put me on his personal list to add those items free of charge the next time I ordered. What the hell? His "personal list"?

How about a refund for the items that weren't delivered but paid for? How about a credit to my account? What kind of bullshit business has Popeye's come to? Times are hard and to spend my hard-earned money on…

I plan on calling your complaint line but I want to help Popeyes be more profitable in Gallup, NM. Your company built 2 brand new popeyes restaurants in Gallup, NM Started out very busy but If you go by now there is NO ONE in line.

In Albuquerque NM the lines are down the street and the wait is an hour. GALLUP IS NOT MAKING THE FOOD RIGHT ESPECIALLY THE CHICKEN SANDWICH. I don't know if they weren't trained or what but there is no breading on them.

Matter of fact Kentucky Fried Chicken & Burger King offer a better version of a breaded chicken sandwich. SO I SUGGEST YOU TRAIN THE EMPLOYEES IN GALLUP NM OR YOU'LL BE SHUTTING DOWN 2 BRAND NEW LOCATIONS DUE TO LACK OF CUSTOMERS. VALERIE MESICH 505-870-3533

Yes I pulled up with my client he is disabled he has spina bifida. As soon as we pulled up before I even got a chance to say anything the worker said we can only take cash right now I said that's fine we only have cash and then I proceeded to try and give her the order.

She said I can't take your order right now you're going to have to wait I said okay no problem. Then when I tried to give her the order she then said we only have small and large something or other and I said we're fine with just the small.

My client wanted a two-piece combo. Dark meat with fries. I told her no drink please because he is not allowed to drink a drink because he can't have caffeine or soda. We always get it this way and they never charges for the drink.

My husband said is anyone working the drive thru? She said well there should be, let me try to find someone. We said no thanks! There were no customers inside & no one else in the drive thru line. Just terrible customer service!

Dear Popeyes I order from your store at 2120 Love Joy Rd. Hampton,Ga. Quite often. But every time I place an order through Door Dash,I never received what I ordered. Something is always Missing. Or Forgotten, or it is substituted.

I can ask for Ranch dipping sauce I never get it. I can order a drink, and I will never receive it. I order 24 Sweet and Spicy wings , and I get 12 regular ghost pepper wings. This is very disheartening.

I really do love your products but can't seem to get what I order from this store. Like today September 14 2023, I ordered 24pc Sweet n Spicy wings, with 2 sweet heat dipping sauces, and 2 ranch dipping sauces, and a 12pc Ghost pepper wings Combo, with Mash potatoes and gravy, A large Sprit, two biscuits, and Apple Pie, for my sons Birthday.

Yesterday I went to Papa's number 2230 nine, check number 10035 ordered the 2999 family feast I asked if it came with 3 breast and 3 five, the service said no. That would be more money I suggest several of the way it comes it took way too long to get the food when I got home.

I noticed she charged me extra for the breast the cold saw in the beans above 3/4 fall, the biscuits were half cooked and dough inside they stuck to the roof of your mouth. I really used to love those biscuits. My total was 3299. 45% in this town. 12. They charge 336.

82% I know it is only 24 cents but it's not fair or right if I'm correct this is illegal. I am sure that it adds up over the course of a year and that most people just do not pay attention.

Went to Popeyes #2127 in Longview, Texas last night a little before 8pm. Places my ordered the lady said would you like mild or spicy I said spicy. She said just a minute, comes back with I only have thighs and legs and one breast in spicy, I wanted white meat so I asked can I have 1breast in spicy and a wing in mild.

Then she comes back that was the only chicken she had, I said you have no mild at all she said no just what I said. So my question is why did she even ask if I wanted mild to begin with, right off the bat you should have said all we have is dark spicy.

This has happened at the stores in Longview quite frequently. Then the chicken that I received was old and hard, Popeyes is my favorite but I think I'll be taking my business elsewhere since the stores here in Longview suck.

popeyes does not deliver. If we use doordash, popeyes app, uber we do not get the order. We have 10 failed orders on my account for the past 12 months. We use to order all the time when we picked up but after losing transportation we rely on delivery.

After placing an order the restaurant will accept orders then say the machine down. This has happened 7 times the last 3 times they ran out of chicken from 3 restaurants. Popeyes n church's has the worst customer experience and workers.

But it seems though corporate office loves the poor management in this area. I'm starting a boycott from each place. This will not be tolerated as we the customers should have a voice when we are the ones keeping yall in business.

This is the sorriest company.
