An Open Letter to Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen, a Cautionary Tale, and Possibly a Cry for Help…read more I have eaten gas station sushi. I have ordered food from a truck with a health code score written in crayon. I once ate a hot dog at an airport. None of that prepared me for today. It started simply enough. I ordered a 16-piece all-white meat meal at Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen. Knowing this particular location operates on roughly the same timeline as continental drift, I gave them over an hour head start. An hour. Sixty minutes. Enough time to watch an entire episode of Kitchen Nightmares -- which, in retrospect, was foreshadowing. The Discovery Halfway home, I opened the box for a little pre-arrival chicken skin appetizer, as one does, and stopped cold. Reader, I was robbed. Not of my wallet -- of my will to live. Instead of all-white meat, I received what can only be described as a box of fossilized thighs that had clearly survived the Cretaceous period. These pieces were so small, so shriveled, so aggressively dried out that they looked like paper footballs from a middle school cafeteria that had also caught fire. These were not thighs. These were chicken jerky. Antiques. Museum pieces. I'm fairly certain one of them had a growth ring you could count. The Return So naturally, I went back. The lone employee on duty introduced herself as the General Manager. Promising. A person of authority. A problem-solver. Finally, someone who-- She grabbed the chicken and slammed it directly into the trash. And honestly? Based. Correct. We were aligned. This was going great. Then she pivoted. She immediately launched into what I can only describe as a full-volume spiritual crisis -- yelling, gesturing wildly, operating at a frequency previously only heard by dogs. I, a simple man who had merely pointed out that his $53 chicken looked like it had gone through a car wash and then a convection oven, was now apparently the villain in her personal biopic. I may have, calmly, observed that I was shocked a manager would serve food at that level of geological age. I consider this a reasonable statement. The Escalation Nobody Asked For She raised her phone. Like a weapon. Then she informed me -- at full volume, in front of God and the drive-through speaker -- that she was calling the police. On me. For asking about chicken. I told her, with great composure and only mild New Orleans energy, that she was absolutely welcome to do that, and I would happily wait right here while she also processed my $53 refund. The refund was denied. Enthusiastically. Almost with pride. At this point, I asked what exactly she thought she was running here, because from where I was standing, it bore very little resemblance to a restaurant. I may have also implied the operation had, structurally speaking, lost the entire plot. I then asked myself: What would John Wayne do? Answer: not get arrested over gas station poultry. So I executed a tactically graceful retreat while she continued threatening law enforcement intervention as though I had committed actual crimes and not simply expressed opinions about the moisture content of chicken. Final Scorecard: Ordered food Received archaeological specimens Denied refund Police threatened over poultry Watched chicken correctly disposed of (small win) Got screamed at by someone who woke up today and chose chaos Left $53 lighter Left significantly less fed Great story though The Part That Actually Stings I've been eating Popeyes for decades. New Orleans is home. I know the culture that made this brand what it is. There has always been attitude -- that's part of the charm. That's the whole deal. But attitude used to come with biscuits and competence. This was attitude wrapped in a liability waiver. P.S. -- To Edwin P. and the Corporate Response Team: I see you, Edwin. I see that copy-pasted "we're sorry to hear this" response you're about to post. Put it back. If you genuinely had a mechanism to fix this, someone with an actual pulse and authority would be reachable. But the fact that someone like that is managing one of your stores tells me everything I need to know about the revolving door currently passing for corporate oversight. You have a paying job a reasonably motivated spider monkey could perform. Cheers to you. Genuinely.

The grilled cheese is perfect! Crispy on the outside, gooey cheeses inside. I'm usually a purist and just want a little mayo, maybe a pickle on the side. But the add avocado and pesto! Spectacular!! The soup is so thick and rich!! Dang, your spoon almost stands on its own! So delicious! Gotta be house made coz I've never had tomato soup this good outside of homemade!! It tastes like it's made like MY way! With roasted tomatoes and fresh herbs! Oh and they have a great outdoor patio area too! Plenty of parking around. Stellar experience! Can't wait to go back!

I use to love Chester's Chicken. I don't know if I've changed or it's changed, but bits no longer…read moreall that. Today I ordered three chicken tenders. First, the crust is still good, but the crust was over cooked. Then the chicken tenders were thick and just chicken. It did seem to be all white meat though. Another issue is that a 3 piece snack is 3 pieces of chicken tenders, 3 potato wedges and a biscuit for $5.79. But each tender is $1.99. So it was cheaper to order the snack and have them hold the wedges and biscuit. Geez. The honey mustard was an absolute joke. The ingredients started out (in this order) "soybean oil, water, high fructose corn syrup, sugar, distilled vinegar, honey, egg yolks, spice,,contains less than 2% horseradish, apple cider vinegar, mustard seed, salt, turmeric, etc." Wait! How can they call it honey mustard when the 6th ingredient down is honey after high fructose corn syrup and sugar! Then the ingredients state that it contains less than 2% mustard! How dare they call it honey mustard!! On the good side, the people were friendly and not upset to be working Christmas.

If I stopped there it would have been a 5 star experience. But....the person who walked in in front of us was carrying a dog. It obviously wasn't a service dog. She was seated at the bar and the dog was given the seat next to her. Folks greeted her and the dog and she fed the dog from her order. Again I am familiar with service dogs and although well behaved wasn't a service dog. This part of the experience is why I gave 3 stars. We will eat there again, but I hope they don't allow dogs inside, especially with a patio available.
