Almost didn't want to give a review and give away my favorite spot lol. It's always clean, foods always fresh, and they have great customer service

It is a pleasure to let everyone know that out of all the popeye's that I've been at, this one has been the cleanest and the freshest food, And its employees are very polite. Also you can tell that they change the oil frequently frequently just because of the taste of the food and the color of it after it's fried.

Ordered a tender meal with two chicken sandwiches. It was about 20 min or so since I placed my order online and upon arriving it still wasn't ready. Covid-19 procedures not the best here as the cashier's we're wearing masks but not covering their noses... Also the other patrons were a bit too close to each other while waiting for food. Besides the safety guidelines the food was good with a small wait.

This lil hidden gem is a peaceful Popeyes in the cut and chicken is fresh. The 2 young ladies at the front counter so sweet and doesn’t come off as impatient or rude at all. They even make suggestions and ask you about the presentation of the chicken that you ordered. They are young and take their job serious by showing professionalism in a fast food setting to be courteous and attentive to your order. Not gone lie I do not want to give up my hidden Popeyes but hey! I love Popeyes especially a good Popeyes and I know others do too

The manager was great, the cashier, however, I believed needs to be retrained in customer service. I asked her a question in regards to a coupons that she could not answer so I asked her to ask her manager for clarity and she told me, "he's right there, you can ask him." I said "no, you are not clear on something, you ask him." The manager calmly addressed my concern and made my visit a pleasurable one.

I know it’s kinda weird to see a review for fast food restaurants, but honestly I think this is the best Popeyes in the city. Consistently better made food and better service than other Popeyes I’ve been to. Sometimes yk they’ll make mistakes here and there but it’s fast food. Nice staff, peaceful lil spot on Spring Garden. Thank you Popeyes workers who work here if you see this!!
