Crack, straight crack! The employees here are nice. Forget everything else on the menu, all you want is CHICKEN ONLY! I ordered some fried chicken and the lady was nice enough to inform me about their current 9 piece deal. It's a good price but it's mixed. She gave me 3 big ass chicken breast, 3 wings, 2 thighs, and 1 drumstick. Next time, I'm only ordering legs and thighs. Popeye's chicken skin is so bangin. Nice golden crispiness. I like Popeyes way more than KFC. KFC is alright but their chicken skin is extremely oily and too salty. If you can't figure out what to eat, just come to Popeyes! It's so clutch.
If there aren't any traffic cops nearby, drive with a friend and have him/her go inside and order because finding a parking spot in this area is a friggin bitch!
I love popeyes. It is gross and totally perfect. This local is often busy and you feel so gross after eating but I can't stop myself from going back….
This is one of the worst Popeyes I've ever been to and I've been to a bunch of them. The positive here is the food is consistent with that of the Popeyes brand, which is good in my view, specifically the fried chicken and fries. On the negative side with the Court Street location: i) lines are very long, ii) there is usually lots of confusion over if there is 1 line or 2 because the ordering area is so small and people are cramped in, iii) the dining area upstairs is dirty and rarely cleaned. I have seen garbage piling out of the containers, iii) the refill soda machine is downstairs so expect to walk up and down if you are thirtsy, iv) given its proximity to the movie theater, shopping and schools, teenage kids hang out upstairs and crowd the dining area, v) don't see a visible bathroom but I believe you can use the staff one near the kitchen, vi) customer service is often slow and at times rude. The Popeyes in Chinatown are definitely better and at a minimum, much more efficient in terms of taking and fulfilling your order. There is a new Popeyes on Flatbush near Fulton St, which may be promising. Note they do not have a soda refill machine.
I went to Popeyes again tonight after a night of a few drinks… or, otherwise I probably would not have eaten fried chicken and had something a bit healthier… but inhibitions were low, & I gave in! Definitely a good decision tonight. Why? Well, things were definitely spot on tonight. The chicken was fresh; the service was great; and, it was an overall enjoyable experience.
I was especially impressed by Tangie, the cashier. She was knowledgeable, super nice, and attentive. Girl, oh the places you will go. I wish you great luck.
My order went something like this:
Me: "I'd like the #2 please."
Cashier: *blank stare* "…what?"
Me: "I'd like the #2 combo meal." *points at menu sign*
Cashier: *another blank stare* "…what?"
Me: *remove sunglasses* "I. Would. Like. The. #2. Combo. Meal. Up. There. The. Two. Piece. Chicken. Meal.
Cashier: "(inaudible) or spicy?"
Me: "Just normal is fine."
Cashier: *blank stare* "(inaudible) or spicy?"
Me: "Normal. As in, not spicy."
Cashier: "Okay…so you want what again?"
Me: *loud sigh and points at menu sign again* "THE #2 COMBO MEAL WITH THE TWO PIECES OF CHICKEN THAT ARE NOT SPICY!"
And I thought I only dealt with the Olympic elite of morons at work…needless to say, I had low expectation of the food that I carried out of there by the time I managed to escape. But, it wasn't too bad. The chicken was actually quite delicious and juicy. The side of mac & cheese was eh, and the biscuit was pretty bad. Honestly? You have two food items in your name: chicken and biscuits. I can understand if the side is not that good, but when one of your two named food items isn't good, that's a problem.
I escaped with about $7 in damage and a fairly decent meal. The chicken was pretty delish though, so if I were to ever eat Popeyes again (I don't really eat fast food all that often), I'll probably just opt for the chicken only.
It's a typical Popeye's.
Plenty of seating upstairs.
Popeye's is Popeye's – solid fried chicken served fast. But at this location, the manager is the star of the show.
2 instances come to mind. The first time I came in she told me it would be a 15 min wait if I wanted the spicy version which I did. She gave me a free drink while I waited.
The second time I came in, the lines were a little confusing since it was more crowded. Realizing that I was standing behind folks who had already ordered, I moved to the next line. The homeless man (I presume) in front of me suddenly turned around, started stomping his feet aggressively, and shouted at me. He was promptly told to leave by aforementioned heroine manager. My shocked face didn't reveal it, but I was very thankful to her.
Oh yeah … the chicken here is pretty good too.
