I was given cold and Geisel chicken strips. I went back through the drive through. wrong. She snatched the food and started running their mouths about it. Then they gave me raw chicken strips. For $12. The strips were very small.

My potatoes was cold and the biscuit. I will never go back.

The chicken was hard as heck like it had been refried 3 or 4 times then kept until the next day then fried again. It was TERRIBLE !!! I had no way to take it back, as I don't have a car.

The young lady that served us was very nasty and disrespectful. She was nasty towards her co- workers as well, especially an older woman who worked there. I then asked for the manager, to no avail. to anyone I thought something of.

It would be great to have my money back, as I am on a fixed income.

Stood at the counter of the Waxahachie tx store for 10 minutes. No one acknowledged my presence! When I asked if anyone was working the counter the person there said “I don’t know how to take orders!” Never had bad service like that?

Your manger/employees Alyssa Bulla and April Simon supposedly manager are harassing and threatening to physically harm my child who is a minor and 15 years old. I received a message from April telling me she will serve jail time for her child.

They are also stalking my child after school to physically assault her however because I am aware of the situation my daughter has not been and will not be left alone. You should really check who you employ as I will be filling charges as of today and restraining orders as well.

I pulled into the drivethrough line at the Popeye's in Elizabethtown, Kentucky. I was studying the menu when I saw one of the employees walk out of the back with flour covering their sleeves up to the elbows. He walked to the garbage dumpster and lit a cigarette.

I backed up and left. I really wanted to try some of your chicken but was afraid to try it

I did a mobile order on 8/29/23 at your Ocoee branch. I did mobile because of a broke leg so I did not have to go inside. When I got to the store there were 6 cars in front of me which was fine.

I waited 36 minutes before I got to where you order,told them I had a mobile order and was told to pull forward. When I got to the window I was told they could not find my order to pull forward this was after I sat another 15 minutes to get from the order place to to window.

So now i have been there over 50 minutes. Sat in my car another 10 minutes finally had enough and hobbled into the store to be meet by a very rude manger. Her words (what do you want) I told her my story about waiting so long she did not even apologize for the wait.

She just said we can not find your order tell me what it…

I received my order by delivery and my sweet and spicy 6 piece wings looked like someone had eaten some of them and left some remnants. I took the container back to Popeyes here in Stafford Virginia and asked for a manager.

When the manager came out and saw the wings there was no apology as a matter of fact she never even opened her mouth. She just went over and made me a new batch and flippant gave me the food.

Whatever happened to customer service . Just a I am sorry this happened would have been nice. I had to get in my car and go all the way back to the store even though I ordered delivery.

August 31,2023 My husband visited your North Highland location in Jackson,TN. We entered at 2:05 PM. Upon entering there was a line of approximately 6 people waiting to place their order and 20 minutes later the same person was still waiting on their order at the register.

Then there was screaming from the kitchen area and then they all were gathered together for a meeting. After this we decided to exit this location since we had an appointment at 3:00 and were instantly aware this was not going to get service in time.

This is really not a complaint but to bring this to your attention since verbal argument from employees is not helping your business. Thank you

The Popeye's in Cleveland< OH< located at 13337 Euclid Avenue has to be the absolute WORST restaurant in the city. The door is always locked, so you cant go in and order your food. i ordered on the mobile app, got to the restaurant, and sat in the line for 30 minutes before I canceled my order.

Please do an overhaul of this particular store!!!

An employee name Angie is not very pleasant. Popeyes branch in 1730 N Neltnor blvd. west chicago il 60185. Ive been going to this store 1-1/2 years now so i think I deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.

Customers are the life of the store as well as the employees.

I went to Popeyes in Cookeville, TN this afternoon. I thought it was Tuesday and asked for the Tuesday special. The lady left the register. When she came back she had the manager who said to me "I can't give you a Tuesday special on Wednesday!

I apologized and said I thought for a minute that it was Tuesday. The manager's small daughter was in a booth with a cell phone and ran up to the counter yelling "mommy". The manager was yelling at her daughter saying "why did you call Brad!

I don't want to talk to him".

Meanwhile I am still waiting to place my order. The first lady was boxing up a meal. " She said No it isn't. I said well can I continue placing my order? " I told her all…

I went through the drive-thru at your Bammel North Houston location in Houston, Tx and was very disappointed in the service I received. When did you stop giving a biscuit with the Tuesday special that consists of two pieces of dark meat chicken.

I have always received a biscuit with this special till now. So you keep going up on the price of the special and the price of the sides and now no biscuit!!! I ordered two different sides and when I received my order there was no biscuit and the two sides were thrown together on top of my chicken.

They only gave me one napkin and that was on top of the chicken also so it was soaked in grease and of no use to me. 14 for a biscuit. What a rip off. I doubt whether or not I will buy Popeyes chicke agaib.

Maybe it is time for me to try another…

It's been years since the lobby is open for customers. There is a 30 minute wait in the drive thru. Long wait at the window. Several times the store was closed. This has been going on for years. Nothing is better. Why not?

Your coupon #9911 is unclear. Why on earth would you limit the number of orders on the thing? Are you afraid you would sell too many!

Also the cashier was rude in the way she informed me I could only use the coupon for one order not two! You have just succeeded in me going elsewhere for chicken tenders, good job!

To Whom it may concern:

I was surprised to find that you were opening a restaurant near my Home since I enjoy the food. I wanted to let you know that 3 different people in my house hold went to get food on Aug 27 2023 and Aug 28 2023 at three different times and all three orders were wrong and low quality. The orders were cold, incorrect, and tasted too greasy. They were not up to the quality of food that I usually expect. I'm not sure what happened with the drinks but I have never seen one of your places run out of COKE. I personally had to tell the counter person twice about sauce and white meat when there was no one there I mean no one I got neither. Since this store has just opened it is not doing too well to represent your company. I'm not sure if it was due to training lack of…

The Franklin Louisiana Popeyes is the Dirtiest and MOST UNPROFESSIONAL workers and managers there could be possible You have to give your order at least 3 times and I had to repeat mine 7 TIMES before The orders are wrong/short food (5 pieces should be easy to count) I have given them their last chance. The outside is just as disgusting. I worked 38 years and I would have been fired if I did my job unprofessional There’s no ACCOUNTABILITY!!!!!

I have no complaint. I want you to know how special Kimberly is at the Popeyes Lee Road Orlando, FL. Is. I needed a wing order and said a person had just left with a big order and was completely out, but if I could wait 11 minutes, she would make as many as I needed and she would throw in a complimentary beverage for my inconvenience.

She said you know how good our wings are. I waited and am so glad I did thoughts wings were delicious. Kimberly is a great ambassador for your Company.

I ordered a 3 piece with red beans and rice. I'm sure your sales are way down. The food was terrible and cold. I won't be going back and I'll be sure to let my friend know the quality is very bad.

I purchased food at Popeyes . Went to the website and submitted my information for the free 2 piece with the purchase of a drink . on the back of the receipt. Got a code wrote it on the back of the receipt ( 08222305797 ) .

when I went to redeem it your employee told me the code is no good. Never had that problem before. I told her to recheck and she said I did already the code is no good.

, Jersey City, NJ. The workers here are very rude. They act like they don’t want to help you. They messed up my order on more than one occasion and I didn’t say anything when I confronted the manager about it politely she doesn’t really understand English well so she cannot help me at all.

They charge for everything I’ve never been somewhere where I had to pay for catch-up. It was outrageous then when you try to talk to them, they still continue to give you an attitude. They also don’t like making fresh chicken.

They leave the chicken sitting up there all day. I spent $30 just to get back home and have to throw it all away. They are not cheap there and I feel like my money was wasted because everything tasted old and dried out.

I really enjoy Popeyes but I don’t think I should have to…

They are very rude to their customers. This was on 08/25/23 at 12:45pm. So I went to McDonalds across the street and was greeted kindly and was thanked....

, Rome, Georgia has the SWEETEST manager name "Porschia" (I'm praying correct spelling of her name). After HORRIBLE service from ANOTHER location (Shorter Avenue store). She took care of my wrong order. I'm from out of town and needed my items corrected.

She is a fantastic employee. As a customer we do NOT see this type of treatment often. She deserves a raise. Thank you for your time in this matter, Jodi Trommler 256-613-6532

The food was never delivered and I have not been able to get in contact with someone about a refund. I should not have to pay for something that I did not receive.

When I arrived at the restaurant, there was one customer ahead of me They left. I was next but they ignored me for a few minutes until I said something. I placed my order of chicken, mashed potatoes, and red beans and rice.

They informed me that they had no mashed potatoes so I chose fries. They also said they had no cole slaw or mac and cheese. I waited and waited.

Finally I went back to the counter and asked about my order. They starting getting it and handed it to me. I asked for plastic ware and they had none. There was no ice in the machine, I had to ask for it.

I have always liked your chicken, but this was not a good experience. Another couple walked out.

I ordered one 2 piece meal and 2 chicken nugget kids meals. When I arrived to the window, the lady handed me 1 kids drink and the meal drink. She left the window and returned by asking me "what are you waiting for".

I explained that I had not received one of my kids drinks or any of the food. She argued that I only ordered 1 kids meal(she only charged one) so I proceeded to order the 2nd one. " I explained I still had not received my food and had paid $30 for food I hadn't received so I wasn't leaving without my food.

She returned with 1 meal and 1 kids meal. I stated I was missing 1 kid meal and she responded they were both in the 1 kids meal bag. When I arrived at home I realized they only put the chicken nuggets in the kids meal bag and I had no fries.

Food was awesome, but customer…

Pascagoula location is the most ghetto nasty place to eat at. I went there for a frozen mango drink instead of telling its not freezing right now you just look over my order and serve six others customer after me.

When I ask for a manager you then ask no one help you yet the that comes to the counter say he don’t know how to do a refund. Had to get another manager I’m just saying how hard is it to say the damn machine not freezing right now rather then ignore me hell I’m paying customer too.

It’s a shame I rather go to Oceansprings Popeyes where the service is awesome and I live in moss point sad but true!!

The order taker did not speak English well and understood the ordering system on his kiosk even less. I was overcharged for items and then he had the nerve to not even pack the WRONG order he overcharged me for!

When I called customer service there is literally NO WAY to talk to anyone. They only text or email. Super pooooor service.

My family and I waited for fresh hot chicken. 64 We drove from home which takes 15 minutes to get to this Popeyes location and upon arriving home we discovered half the chicken was only warm while the other half was hot.

We drove back to the Popeyes store and asked for the manager and a young female came to the counter to address the order when I explained to her that the order was not correct then a short male entered the restaurant and the problem started with the male walked behind the counter and he started, the chicken was freshly cooked.

I said to him, who are you and why are you calling me (customer) a lair! when he wasn’t even in the restaurant in the beginning. I explained to him again as he pretended to not understand English completely and that’s what annoyed me even further.…

I visited a TA Travel Center in Jeffersonville, OH 43128 around 4/4:30pm 8/20/2023. I was looking at the Pizza Hut menu and had noticed this guy working there and he seemed to be overloaded by himself to where the oven was going faster than a human could do alone.

I saw an older, blonde headed lady in a Popeyes uniform helping him. I hear a guy come around and yell at the woman for helping this guy. Told her to stop babying him I work under the Department of Developmental Disabilities and I could tell this guy, although very self dependent, was autistic.

But he was working very hard and seemed to be doing the best a regular human could do. Along with him being autistic, he’s a human and needed help in general. It’s called team work when you’re working in a connected space, but also basic…
