I got my love of fried chicken from my Father, that man had a thing for fried chicken that bordered on the obsessive. When we traveled, if we were anywhere near the South the man lived off fried chicken. Must be in the genes because I am not too far off the mark. My one tactical error in loving fried fowl is that I live in the Pacific Northwest, not exactly a bastion of southern fried delights. Now don't get me wrong, there is good chicken in the Portland/Vancouver metroplex and I love it all, but to find a crispy, flavorful chicken like this from a chain is pretty amazing. There are some downsides to Popeyes that I really have to glaze over, like the prices, which are a little high (but not insane). There are not that many around so it's a trek to get to one unless one happens to be on my way. Oh but the pros outweigh all that. Whether mild or spicy the chicken is amazing in flavor and juiciness, the size of the pieces are large and the sides are really great. I love the red bean and rice the most I think. The biscuit is ok, a little soft for me but it is completely edible. Overall I always walk out of here with a big smile on my face, but when they do the crawfish baskets in season the smile gets a little wider.

Wow do I love Popeyes way more than KFC. My friends and I stopped here for a quick lunch and the food was delicious. It's a rare occasion for some people in the Couve to stop by Popeyes, but if you live in the area or are willing to take a drive.. You won't be disappointed! My only complaint would have to be the employees, they're as loud as a high school hallway. But what do you expect? It's fast food.

I dunno, maybe it should get 4 stars.....I'm just not a fan of eating chicken off a bone. We stopped here tonight to try Popeyes out. We were ordering to go, but went inside as it was our first trip and we didn't want to be pressed by the drive through. It's probably a little expensive for what you get, but much less so than the one time we went to Church's in Orchards....good grief, they had loan officers on site!! We got a dinner meal order with half original and half spicy chicken, red beans and rice, and biscuits. Wife thought the spicy chicken was the way to go in the future.....red beans and rice was pretty good, and I think I was expecting a little more out of the biscuit. The chicken meat was moist and tasty though. Next visit, I will get the tenders. Pretty small inside. Their permit says max occupancy is 49.

Chicken was great! Drove thru - they forgot to give me napkins and silverware. I had to wait till I got home to eat.. Bummer, I wanted to stop somewhere relaxing and eat. So much for that idea.

While I like the chicken, my 3 piece meal with white meat had two wings. I added green beans as a side, but the bill was over 12 bucks. I'll be getting pizza or Del Taco next time.

Sure it's fast food, but it's DAMN good fast food! FAR superior to that other fast food chicken chain!!!

It's Popeyes. Popeye's is the motherf***in' sh**. Therefore this popeyes is also the MFing Shizzle. Bizzle.

I love fried chicken and I have to choose Popeyes over KFC. Love the Po' Boy Sandwiches, Cajun rice and the biscuits! It's fast food, but streets ahead of your basic fast food restaurant. Recommended!

A bit overpriced, but they do have rotating specials. The chicken is tender, juicy, and delicious! I don't even have words to describe the fatty amazingness that is their side dishes. And the biscuits? O.M.G. It's love! If you're craving way too many calories and carb-loading, this is the place to do it.

The chicken is fine but the sitting areas need a bit of work.

Strip Nakeds! Hold on. Strike that, reverse it...on we go! I'll admit it freely. I'm a spice wussy. Most of Popeye's stuff is too spicy for me. Including the gravy for their mashed potatoes. So what do I eat there? Naked strips! The stop right at that line of too spicy for me. Yum. They're biscuits are excellent, mac n cheese is OK. Pretty much everything on the menu (too spicy for me or not) kicks the other chicken place's tail feathers. Service has always been friendly and the restaurant has always been clean, the times we've visited.

This place, although good food..has horrible service. The few times I've been to this location, not once has my order been correct. Like ya, I get it if you mess up once, but consistently AND after reading other comments, realize maybe they need to fire the entire staff and hire people who actually listen. Id drive all the way to Oregon just to have it, at least there they'd get the order right.

Popeyes has a lot of that southern flavor to their chicken, the biscuits are amazing, and the jambalaya is the best.

Love that chicken from Popeyes!!! It seems that if you go through the drive through, you only get what's posted on the menu, which may not have their extensive menu. I end up compromising and getting whatever I see, which could be too much or not enough and still costly. I solved that problem by just walking in there. I never have to wait more than ten minutes. It's an after work dinner night here at least every other week. The entire family loves it.

Being from New Orleans I love Popeye's Chicken and was really excited to have this location open very close to my house. The food here is good, but unfortunately there is no hospitality. They are just rude. This is fast food, so my expectations for customer service are extremely low and I would even consider indifference to be acceptable - but this location can not even meet that low standard. If you don't mind spending your hard earned money and being treated like crap, this could be the place for you. This review is based on at least a dozen disappointing visits out of no less than 20 so this is what I have experienced more than 50% of the time. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and returned because they are new (and I love the food) and thought maybe the situation would improve and now sadly I have to report that it appears this is the culture there and will not change. I may not get to enjoy Popeye's as often as I will still enjoy the food at other locations but I will never go back to this one. North Portland is not that far...
