I somewhat enjoy this chain. Well, I thought I did. When did Popeye's become this bland? !

This is my spot! Now not everyone loves fried chicken, but everyone loves Popeyes. From their fried chicken with delicious southern breading to their Cajun fries this poppeyes holds it down. The thing I like most about this location is they are always busy so their constantly making food and your food is always fresh. They also have very friendly staff and sometime if you go really late at night they'll give you free chicken. PS. They always have at least 2 specials, one that's between 3.50 and 6.00 and one for like 10 pieces or more.

Best fast food fried chicken chain this side of the mason Dixon line! Booyah!! Chicken tenders, biscuit and Cajun fries are amazing!! Just be wary of homeless people begging for change while you're eating at this location

I enjoy going to Popeye's here. I get away from the snotty UES, and I also get better tasting food. It has flavor!!! And spice! Something that cannot be found on the Yuppie East Side. So, I take a short trip up to lovely Harlem, where people respect me more. They do not push into me, they do not call me "fat pig" on the street and such. I prefer Popeye's over many places on the UES. The beggars- they are down and out. It could happen to anybody. Why not give them a piece of chicken or your leftovers? What makes you so high and mighty? This Popeye's has character. So what if you get your chicken through a bulletproof partition? Does it affect your meal? Didn't think so! I definitely recommend this particular Popeye's. They know how to make the chicken, and it is oh-so-fresh! You can tell it rotates often, people come and eat it , and it is not many hours old. There are tables there, and I always choose to eat there. I hope that Harlem can keep some of its character, or whatever you call it. It is not yet sterile like many other NYC neighborhoods. I hope this Popeye's stays for a long time! I cannot emphasize how worth it it is to get out of the UES and go up there for the chicken. The potatoes- perfectly seasoned. Nice and hot when you get them. Biscuits: very soft. Savory. Chicken- spicy or regular, I prefer the spicy! And, regarding people mentioning that there is a "ghetto attitude" there: maybe try being NICE to the workers and you will be treated the WAY You treat them!

KFC has nothing on Popeyes. I loves me some fried chicken. Save yourself an evening of cooking and throw down $20 for a family dinner for you and your honey (or family). The mac & cheese doesn't taste like gruel like it does at the other local joints (even some of the trendy soul food joints). I don't know what they put in the gravy on their mashed potatoes, but it's friggin good. Slow? Whatever, I've waited longer for my food at McDonalds. Ghetto? No shit, Sherlock. You're at a fucking Popeye's on 125th Street in the heart of Harlem. If you're not a fan of people begging for cash (or for your leftovers, which is much more humbling) then get it to go and eat it elsewhere (there's a nice park a couple blocks away).

If you have a craving and no matter what you do, you can't stop thinking about some biscuits, then go to this one instead of the one on 116th Street and Adam Clayton Powell - but be warned - no matter which you go to, there's a crowd and the dine-in experience is not recommended.

Very good popeyes. Their food is standard popeye's food and the staff here was very nice. They seemed a tad bit understaffed the times I was there? There was also a vagrant who was being very obnoxious and I wish they had kicked the guy out. Otherwise very good.

I always stop by this Popeyes when visiting Harlem. It's located right on 125th street and it's always packed when I walk in. The food is excellent and the new Popeyes 5 dollar box is a steal! 3 tenders, 2 sides, a biscuit and a drink? Heaven! I wish this place had more seating and less ratchet people bothering you with DVDs and asking for spare change 24/7. This place needs security so customers like myself can eat a good meal in peace. The last thing I want to do while enjoying a tender is having someone hunched over my girlfriends shoulder asking for change. The bulletproof windows ad character and the food is always steaming and fresh. Overall I like this Popeyes and will continue to keep coming. Be prepared for anything in this Popeyes and always be on high alert. You never know whose going to bother you next lol

People rave about fried chicken in Harlem even at Popeyes, so I came here specifically to try out their fried chicken. I was sorely disappointed. Drumsticks were OK, with a nice crispy exterior and fragrant, extremely moist and juicy dark meat inside. Thighs and breasts were a little overfried, and I had to pick off large globs of fried exterior. Breast meat can get a little tough as it sits. As for the restaurant, the interior decor isn't much to look at and hard plastic chairs can hurt your butt after a while. I guess if you're fine ordering just drumsticks, you'll enjoy it, but the other pieces suck.

WORST experience ever in a Popeye's!!!!! Completely screwed our order even after we repeated it three separate times. I understand you may be busy but when an order is repeated three times there is no excuse. To say they were so busy the chicken and fries were disgusting lukewarm and honestly I feel a little sick after eating only half. Not happy will never go to this one ever again.

The service is terrible. They argue with customers and don't listen when you ask for something you don't want. I asked for no legs and they gave me two legs. Then I didn't get silverware with my order. The coleslaw was like soup and the mash was all gravy. I won't be back. It was terrible.

If all you want is one chicken wing, then they'll sell you that. Mmm. Popeyes. it sure hits the spot. A little bit can go a long way here. I had dinner at Popeyes for $3.24. This dinner consisted of a chicken biscuit (like KFC's chicken little from back in the day) and mashed potatoes. I really like the gravy with the little pieces of pork in it. Mmm pork. Iz spicy too. This Popeyes is pretty busy but there is no real line for the registers. The people just crowd around and push against the bullet proof shield. If you're lucky, you'll be next. It's kind of like going to a bar but instead of dispensing beer or vodka they dish out white or dark meat. It's actually pretty orderly and the sass is harmless. Seating is always available and despite all the riff raff around, this Popeyes is really clean. Oh yea they have door service too. Just pretend you're at the Ritz. Tipping is optional.

Ever see somebody return a piece of fried chicken in a Popeye's? I have. Right here. This place is a trip! I mean, every time something different; it's like a giant fucking magnet for CRAZY right in the middle of Harlem. Imagine the DMV times one million. Now divide by zero. Priceless. The chicken? Whatever; it's Popeye's (I'm addicted) and given the popularity of this store, the resulting turnover rate of product and related freshness of product, this is not a bad place to buy it. Of course, if a slow moving line or a ghetto ambiance (bullet proof glass) bothers you, then grow a... sense of adventure. p.s. Never underestimate the size of a large side order at Popeyes.

I never thought that I would give a Popeyes a four stars review and yet here I am... First, I must say that walking into this place could be kind of scary due to the number of people in it at any time of the day and night. The things that you hear once inside is even more scary; but once you get to the large window and look at the posted menu (which I found quite large by the way) then I would suggest to concentrate and try to order what your appetite desire. I got my order and took it home, couldn't afford staying in there. When I got home and got a bite of that chicken I couldn't remember when was the last time I had that good of a chicken; it was so good that I text my friend to let him know about it. The fries were really good too, a bit crunchy and spicy at the same time. I'm not sure if it were the four drinks I had earlier that evening; or that chicken was one of the best I ever had... I must try again and see!

Popeyes chicken is great, point blank. But the people in Harlem love their chicken. This particular location is always FULL. I have to wait for a seat every time I go. And the area outside? Crazy and bustling. Music blaring. But what else should you expect from 125th? This is actually a location where I've had better service than others, and I've been to every Popeyes in Manhattan (yes, I love my fried chicken). Keep it going, Harlem.

You know you are in Harlem when you have to order your food looking through bullet proof glass. The service was great and the staff was very nice. Obtaining extra sauces for my chicken was an ease. Great service and the food is; well it is Popeyes.

Emily A.
So coming to Popeyes was quite the experience. Paying & getting your food through a glass window was.... interesting to say the least, but the chicken is amazing. And whatever it is they put in the gravy makes it taste like the kind my grandma used to make from scratch. And the biscuits, my god, the biscuits. Can you say melt in your mouth? Because that's what they do! I always get my food to go, cause the place itself seems pretty sketch, but you don't go to Popeyes for ambiance, you go for the chicken!

Why there is no Zero star option? It was my worst eat out experience. 1) 3 Dirty homeless guys were sitting there when I came in and remained in their sits after I left without ordering anything or eating anything; just sitting. 2) Each entrance was surrounded by 2-3 homeless guys asking for money. I'm not against helping poor, hungry, drunk and drug addicted people. But I can't enjoy my food while surrounding by these sorts of men. Here is the best part. 3) When I was in the middle of my food, a drunk high guy came into the restaurant shouting "where is the bathroom? I need to pee... peeee" staff showed him the restroom (Is this a public bathroom? I usually don't eat my dinner inside a public bathroom. What about you? Do you?!) He faced a closed door and started shouting open the door come out and then pulled out his D... and peed in front of me on the floor and on the bathroom door. You want to know the reaction of staff? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. They just ignored the whole event. I waited there to see if they are going to clean the mess or not. After 15 minutes, Nothing. I talked to two cashier ladies about what happened and the guy who peed all over the place thinking that maybe they did not noticed. You don't want to know what happened after that. Do you?! Absolutely Nothing! They just stared at me! I told them my story again and this time...... One of them turned to the other and said: "I told you! He is saying, that guy peed on the floor and bathroom door." That was the end. Don't worry. They didn't send any one to clean the mess.

Look, I'm a sucker for Popeye's. But I don't need to take the ghetto attitude with it too. Bad enough that you can't walk into the door without being accosted by folks begging for cash, but the servers are slow to boot! It's standard Popeye's fare... and they ran out of my apple jelly for those tastay biscuits. Can you believe that? Travesty!! Prices are standard for the area,.At least this time around they didn't screw up my order! I'm grateful for small wonders.

Normally I wouldn't review a fast food restaurant. But at 1am on a Monday night I found myself ditched in Harlem by my couch surfing host. To pass some time in case he called, I came here to get some chicken that I wasn't hungry for. The service was remarkably fast and friendly at this time of night, and the service was good. It fit my requirement for a safe place to wait it out for thirty minutes or so in an unfamiliar neighborhood.

It would be a fine Popeye's if every time I went in there I wasn't asked by "customers" for spare change or to buy them a meal. Seems bizarre for this to be allowed to happen inside a place of business.

I was in Popeyes on Monday morning and noticed a roach crawling under the register When I complained to the manager he didn't even look at me. The chicken is greasy and nasty and it stinks? The restaurant is dirty and filthy and the tables were dirty and sticky. Hardly ever see white people in there.

At this Popeyes, safety is important. Once you've passed the big security guard and walked up to the bullet-proof glass, you get to order and, if you're lucky, you won't be interrupted more than 2 times by angry former-orderers asking "Nah nah, gimme a thigh, I don' want no legs. Gimme a thigh." or "C'mon yo, gimme another ranch. I don' want no BBQ sauce, I wanna ranch!" Bottom line is, this place is great. The service is awesome, the food is delicious, and the price is right. The women behind the counter are friendly, alert, and helpful. I will forever drunkenly stumble into this Popeyes for my late-night fix.

I'm alitlte upset with myself for ordering the chicken tenders. They really didn't look anything like the bone-in chickens i did see across the counter, but i was trying to be less messy during my feast on the D train home from 125th st. The batter they deep fried the tenders in was too light colored, and didn't really have that crumby consistency the regular fried chicken had. What is up with the name POPEYE'S? Why were they hiding the word Popeye's, only using the P, and calling themselves Louisiana Kitchen? I want some deep fried Harlem 125st chicken. I know about the bullet proof windows already, I saw them when i was catching the bus over to Randall's to play softball. You can't sugarcoat this place with healthy food. Its not fair! It's time for mom and pop shops to shine.
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
