Didn't even get a chance to order anything. The people in that visit this place are so ghetto – which then spread like a plague. I was grabbed by the arm but a complete stranger all because he thought I was attractive and he wanted my attention. Dammit, can I just get some wings?!
Maybe if this popeyes had a better environment …different customers, I would return. until then, it may not be safe for women here.
First of all, you're looking up a Popeye's review on Yelp. Either you've never been to this country-wide chain, or you're just wondering if this place has a delightful atmosphere. Just stop!
Walk five blocks north on Freddie Douglass and you'll be at the best fried chicken joint in the city: Charles Southern Fried Chicken. Walk ten blocks north from this Popeye's and you'll be at Mama's Fried Chicken. Or, walk two long blocks east and you'll see another Popeye's, yes, but even more importantly, a New Kennedy Fried Chicken.
All of these places are local. All of these places serve better chicken. All of these places are significantly cheaper than this fast food chain you've decided to look up on Yelp, for Christ's sake.
Turn around, or refine your search, or do what you have to do. There are a godzillion Popeye's in this entire country. You're in Upper Harlem. Do taste buds and your wallet a favor.
All this said, Popeye's ain't bad chicken, and if you're in the mood for the other chicken-like foods they offer, it's pretty tasty. The chicken itself is serves in huge portions, the meat is a little juicy/watery. I can't help but wonder how this poor chicken lived before it made it into a red, white and orange Popeye's box, but that thought is soon gone as I take a crunchy bite. The spicy chicken is indeed spicy in that "we've got scientists who can concoct the perfect fry and chemically induce 'spiciness' onto your tongue' type of way." I still prefer the spiciness of the other joints, but again, ain't bad.
You're still reading. What, are you still undecided! Stop this. Go to Charles, for sure. Then try Mama's and New Kennedy if you have the willpower to try anything after Charles.
Food is always hot but the line is normally long and expect a man to hold the door open for you. No it is not to show you chivalry is not dead but to possibly ask you for some change. Gotta love NYC.
Regardless this isn't my fave Popeyes in Harlem but it is super convenient to the subway.
