"The meal was good! The turkey was tender, mashed potatoes were creamy and rolls were soft. This meal is a good, filling family meal! That comes with dessert! "
"I ordered food to go for my kids.. chicken tenders were burnt to crisp and so were the fries. I got my son a Mac and chz meal and literally only got a spoonful worth. I ordered them apple juices and no one put the lids on so they spilled everywhere in the bag. I don’t know who was working carryout but this is so uncalled for."

"out of regular biscuits but the manager messaged to ask what we wanted instead. The food was fresh and hot"
"This Popeyes is the new one in Smyrna, and it was great, equally as good as the Popeyes in Dover which I've had my whole life. A little less crispy than I expected, but thats fine, the meat was peak and mashed potatoes were absolute cinema. I will say, the biscuit was below average, as even though I was starving, the biscuit quality was maybe a 4 out of 10. Everything else was great though, will definitely order again, and the delivery time was only 15 minutes."

"Angus cheesesteak was very disappointing. The Roll was tough, chewy in a bad way. The amount of meat on it very skimpy, maybe only 1/4 cup in total. For the price, I expected much better. Definitely not with the money. Best part of the meal was the curly fries."
