Got a free burger in Popeyes and it was surprisingly good, a big one as well. The fried chicken was really crunchy

The chicken was juicy and tender, falling right off the bone... perfectly cooked without being greasy. It had a well-balanced seasoning, milder than KFC but still flavourful. The crispy batter was crunchy and satisfying. My sandwich had a generously sized piece of chicken, paired with a soft brioche bun and homemade-style pickles. The potato and gravy were substantial, thick, and not watery. They had run out of fries today but made up for it by giving us extra wings, which were just as delicious. Overall, it was an amazing meal. The portion sizes were generous, and the quality was excellent. 10/10, I’m definitely going again!

They certainly go out of their way to find the right people for the job. Service with a smile is hard to find but that's what you get at Popeyes. Food is way better than you'd expect as the chicken is marinated given it the flavour instead of the coating. Overall very nice with burgars / sandwiches to die for. Totally recommend

Take away order that has half full containers. Chips thrown all over the bag. Substitutes that were given don’t make up a large container and missing item of 6 biscuits and large mac n cheese. Mac n cheese was old, had NO CHEESE SAUCE on it. It’s just macaroni! Almost no gravy with mash. Plus uber order was pushed in front of our order and made us wait.

Second time Trying Popeyes. First time was at Takanini. Didn't went back as wasn't a fan of the taste. But wanted to give another go, so tried while visiting Hastings. Surprisingly food was very good and as advertised crunchy. Guess first time it was the quality of oil or wrong procedure followed while making it made them non satisfactory.
Even though food was great the store was not in a good condition. Lobby was dirty, bins all full, wash rooms filthy No one cared to check Lobby the whole time we were there even though store wasn't busy. We had to clean our own table to Dine-in.
Apart from that part, it was a good experience. I will definitely keep trying Popeyes after today. Loved the Chicken nuggets and strips. A worthy competition for the good ol Colonel's.
