"The chicken 6 Spicy Bone-In Wings were so good!! Perfectly cooked and sauced well. The French Cajun Fries were crispy and fresh. I will definitely order again."
"Popeyes chicken has the best flavor of all the fast food chicken places. However, their chicken rarely looks like the commercial or the photos because the crispy breading in reality is very thin, almost without any crispy pieces on it. We keep hoping, but we may have to give up at some point. "

"Second time ordering from this place. Last time I just got the loaded fries, and I loved them. This time I got the loaded fries with peppers and mushrooms, and I definitely recommend getting the peppers. They add a really good flavor to it. I also got the Chicken Chipotle, and was shocked by the quality of the chicken. The chicken has a sort of grilled taste to it that is quite nice. I will say, the chipotle sauce could use a little more heat. It gives a very slight, little ting after the fact when I would enjoy a more powerful immediate heat. I will say, the food as a whole needs a little more salt, especially the fries. The fries are not seasoned, and can get pretty soggy, but that's the way I like my fries. This is also a ghost kitchen for IHOP, so I would advise taking that into consideration when you order."
"The Chicken Cheesesteak description states thinly sliced chicken. I recieved huge cubed chunks of chicken which was very unappetizing. It was hard for me to finish the sandwich as the cubed chunks of chicken just ruined it. For the price of the French fries the portion was very small. I don't think I would order from here again."
