I ordered a nine piece spicy meal. One piece was mildly spicy. I think it was a mixture of all the old chicken getting ready to be tossed in the trash. It was old, dried out, almost not chewable, greasy and disgusting. It tasted as if it had been sitting around a long time, then refried. It was heavy and greasy, not even warm. I didn't return it because we all know what happens when you do that. And this is the second time it's happened. This is my regular store. They know me. If this is how they treat a regular customer. I'l just go to Church's. It's right across the street! read more

Terrible service. Ordered online jun 29th for p/u. I arrived about 10 min early and let them know I was there. I waited by the door till after the time it was to be ready, and backed up to the window. The got smart with me, it still wasn't ready and I told them to disregard the order. I went online and tried to cancel it, but it wouldn't let me. They (website) said someone would contact me, no one did. I went online again to see what was up, received email saying it (problem) was closed. Contact number sends you online to "chat". No resolution, out $21, having to dispute billing with bank. This franchise is an absolute disaster and corporate doesn't seem to care. read more

Don't come here after 8-9pm , they're always "sold out of chicken". Most likely poorly managed, and the employees are rude as well.

Service is appalling. You can stand at the counter right in front of the staff and be ignored. When they do take your order the results are almost never correct (this last time I dodnt receive my drink). The fries were WET for some reason and not crispy at all. Avoid this place. read more

Chomonique has amazing customer service and very pleasant. By far one of my best experiences from Popeyes

We came today for a quick meal before church. We haven't been to Popeyes in a while. There wasn't a wait, and the restaurant and bathrooms were clean. There were only 3 people working the entire restaurant, and they did it with a smile and prompt service. Food was fresh and hot. We will definitely be back. read more

I cannot say enough bad things about the food at this place. I do not like any of their food any of their seasonings anything whatsoever. This is, however, just my personal opinion and others may think it is the most wonderful place to eat fried chicken in life. read more

Save your money, fry your own Chicken or better yet go somewhere else. Worst Popeyes I have ever had the unpleasurable experience of patronizing... I came to the Drive Thru today and I ordered a 2 Piece white and the workers actually did not know what I ordered. "Do you mean a Breast and a Wing"??? So I drove to the Window and I repeated my order, I would like a 2 Piece white with Red Beans and Rice. That will take 15 mins, Really Well Can I still get a Breast and a Wing? Yes, And can I order a small Red Beans and Rice? Yes, ok, Let me get that and a Jalapeno Pepper. The level of unprofessionalism is deafening. First of all unless they changed the Menu, a breast and a wing is a 2 Piece White. Also I paid for a Jalapeno pepper but they never put it in the freaking bag. The Chicken was under cooked and for gods sake somebody please step in to fix this crap. In my opinion, someone needs to find other work... As much as they are charging for meals no one should have to deal with crap like this. Yes, my eyes are POPPED but not because I had a great experience but rather because the food was horrible and the service was far far far worst. Horrible!!! This is a brand new Popeyes and as much as I would like to blame the workers, this is a failure of leadership. These people need training, manners and most importantly they need leadership. I would do practically anything other than going to this restaurant including frying my own dang chicken. Geeze... read more

I ordered three 6piece, tender meals $40.00 OMG the food was cold ... The server sucks couldn't even get refills on our drinks. They were too busy talking in the back and looking at us. This is the first time eating here and this is the last time eating here. . Over priced big time .... I waited 20 minutes inside no customers . How in the world is this place still open? Save yourself some money go eat somewhere else that appreciates your hard earned money. read more

Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen - a receipt for a restaurant - Fast Food Near Me - Covington, Georgia

How are you still open? I'm not a baseball fan but I gave this one three strikes...NOPE! EVERY SINGLE TIME that we came, we get the "Welcome to Popeye's, we're out of..." spill! They are always out...of chicken...IT IS A CHICKEN RESTAURANT! These three visits were at various times of the day...they are always out of a laundry list of items!! Close the doors and let someone else manage this place! read more

Unless you have a lot of time, DON"T go here. Stopped to pick up 3 sandwiches and a few sides. First they misplaced my ticket and then I could not get the attention of the manager. Took 35 minutes to get out of there. Nobody is service oriented at this place. read more

The absolute worst customer service in Newton County. Three tries is all you get...I will not be back. Short lines-and extremely long wait is the norm. BUT, today (2/21/21) takes the cake. At lunchtime on a weekend, a chicken restaurant is OUT OF CHICKEN!!. We learn this after waiting in the drive through line. Would a temporary, even hand-written notice be too much to ask? Whoever is the franchisee for this location needs to make some drastic improvements or it won't be open long! read more

This store is run horribly and is an insult to the popeyes franchise. The staff are preparing for without masks there is never any chicken ready or biscuits or fries, you would think they'd know when to start making more food. Whoever owns this restaurant please check your establishment. And this is when its not busy so there's no excuse read more

Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen - No food and they're not busy either. - Fast Food Near Me - Covington, Georgia

In lieu of my usual Chicken Wings, I decided to try Popeye's recently reintroduced Chicken Nuggets tonight. And unfortunately as we say here in Georgia, they were all hat and no Cattle ... or in this case Chicken. Anyway, lots of crunch from lots of fried batter coating very little Chicken. The one bright spot was their accompanying Bayou Buffalo dipping sauce. Granted not enough heat to scald a wet dog, but it did provide a pleasant amount of spice. read more

As scary as it is - in the midst of this pandemic - people are risking their lives to make ends meet and survive as essential workers. With that said, all the more reason for employees of this location to have some sense of pride in the food they serve as it's other people spending their struggle money INTENTIONALLY to ensure YOU can take care of your needs. "WE" gotta do better read more

Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen - a reflection in a side view mirror - Fast Food Near Me - Covington, Georgia

Prime dinner time and they are out of half the side items, and no longer selling tea by the gallon or half gallon while it is still clearly on their menu. Should just go across the street to Churches After getting my 16 piece pack with 3 large sides, let's say there was a problem. We ordered 16 pieces -2 chickens. That SHOULD BE 4 breasts, 4 legs,4 thighs and 4 wings. WHAT WE GOT: 2 breasts 2 thighs 9 wings 3 legs Had no idea what was spicy or not. Chicken had almost no meat on the bones. Biscuits were thin, flat and pail with no butter The highlight of the experience was the dirty rice. I'd give it a 3. Out of 5 Go to a better restaurant read more

Great communication - excellent customer service. Food was fresh and a short wait for freshly cooked chicken. I read all the past reviews and figure there must have been improvements made. Glad we gave them a try. read more

Been there twice and it's been the same bad customer service, both times ordered the spicy chicken sandwich and they gave me the regular chicken sandwich instead. Not gonna come back read more

This is what you see when you go through the drive-through area. It makes you wonder what it might look like inside where they're actually cooking and serving the food. I left rather than stay and order. It would have taken forever anyway, since there's never enough staff either inside or at the drive-through. I think I will no longer be a customer at this particular Popeyes. This is in Covington, Georgia, on Highway 278. Don't go there. read more

If i could give them negative stars I would! I have NEVER been there and they weren't out of something we wanted. Several times they were out of chicken!!! How is a chicken restaurant out of chicken? On top of never having what you want, the staff is always very rude and unapologetic. They could care less if you come or go, or if your upset, they show zero cares. It's very irritating because my husband loves their food but we have to go two cities over if we want decent food. From now on, it's church's across the street that will get my money. read more

Had a really bad experience with them about a month ago, and gave them the benefit of the doubt. Everyone has off days. Tried them this afternoon, and placed an order through the app. Gave me a 5:44pm, got there at 5:42, went through drive through stated I had a mobile order, they said it would be about 5 minutes because the tenders were still cooking and to pull into a spot. It is currently 6:10pm and I walked inside and they were just texting and talking. read more

THE absolute worst Popeyes I have been to. The line was pretty long but I didn't mind waiting because I really didn't feel like cooking. When I pulled up to the drive thru the lady said "hold on" I proceeded to wait for about 5 minutes. She came back & I ordered. I pull up to the window & paid. I sat there for about 10 minutes while no one acknowledged me & played & talked amongst each other. Finally someone comes to the window & asks "you got your food" I said "no" she proceeds to tell me there's a 7 minute wait on the chicken so pull forward. I waited for about an hour before I got my food. I get home & not only is my order wrong but the red beans & rice is basically soup. Absolutely terrible. They either need new management or need to be shut down. read more

We have been trying to try this restaurant since it opened- it is always busy! So this afternoon we tried again and were told by the manager it would be 10 minutes before our order would be ready. We replied that we were fine with that since we had been trying to eat here for a while and it was a first time for us. They were preparing our food fresh... so Mr Aaron brought our food to us with a complimentary dessert. Yes, this is fast food but, the customer service we experienced here was top notch. The manager Mr Aaron was so great! Hopefully someone will recognize him for going above and beyond! read more

Went I. for lunch and had a great experience and the chicken was great. met the new manager and she is very nice and seems to be working hard to make sure the place is top notch. read more

So dissatisfied, girl at the drive thru window was beyond cold and un friendly, not a thank you or nothing! Did not get our order right either , will never go back .. manager needs to know these things read more

I'm from New Orleans and a previous Popeyes employee. Whatever they doing is NOT correct. Wait times are at minimum 20 minutes and that's when it's slow when it's busy it's 35. It makes no sense at all the food is basic because your food can be done and you won't get it till 30 minutes later. Staff and management need to be replaced food doesn't even have that nola spice!! And it's the same damn restaurant read more

Horrible! This place doesn't even deserve a 1 star! I went here expecting a nice meal but I had no idea what was about to happen. I ordered a chicken sandwich and the lady informed me with a horrible, disrespectful tone that they didn't have chicken and why I was mad, well that explains it self. The last time I went it was 10:59 and the lady said "we open at 11" in the nastiest way possible! Truly don't recommend this business! read more

If I could rate this place a 0, I would. The wait is ALWAYS terrible here. I've waited in line for over 45 min just to get the wrong order and in fear of them getting it wrong again or taking forever... I went on about my business. The service is also awful. No greetings when going inside (not to sound like THAT kind of person) but we also stood the for a good 6-7 min without any acknowledgement. read more

I wish I can give this place less then a one star. This was the worst experience I have ever experienced here at Popeyes. The staff was very on organized missing items from the menu. Staff Appears to not have an urgency about their job The food was overcooked nearly burnt in the next day I have a peer to engage each other more than engage the the customers Horrible experience do not eat! read more

This is by far the worst fast food in town. The floors are nasty with food and trash. The employees are confused and lazy. Why are they so rude. I hope the health services come soon and see how bad this place is. read more

It's 11:55a and the second time I've come during lunch and nothing is ready. A 20 minute wait for chicken an 8 minute wait for sandwiches. When you only have a 30 minute lunch break, who has time to use it waiting for food that should be ready for the lunch rush? Churches chicken it is. I will not be going back to this Popeyes Smh!!! read more

Worst Popeyes in Georgia!! I've never seen such disrespectful staff here and I hope the owner really evaluates this. We waited over 30 minutes and went inside because the line wasn't moving for drive thru. Orders kept coming back wrong and when someone told them, they got an attitude. Girls working there complaining and sitting on their phone. They reused chicken that a customer brought back inside because it was wrong. Don't go here!!! read more

I asked for mild chicken, said 7 minutes wait. I wait and they still give me spicy w no mashed potatoes and doughy biscuits. This is unacceptable... read more

I went to Popeyes on a Friday night and the employees pretended as if they did not see the patrons outside waiting to order. If they close for business at 10:00 pm, then they should not be ducking work at 9:30pm. They don't even have a voicemail set up, so I could not speak to a manager or leave a message. Churches chicken got my business and will continue to. Smh. read more

Popeyes is one of my favorite food places!! I was excited when I found out that this location was being built closer to where I live. Finally got a chance to come, HORRIBLE!! The lady who took my order had no clue what she was doing, extended wait time to order, extended wait time to get the food... the sweat tea in the lobby has black flakes in it.... i think I'll stick to the Conyers location because this one isn't it. read more

So rude and obviously didn't want to be there. Food was all stale and my order was wrong.

I was really excited about a Popeye's Fried Chicken Restaurant returning to our area. However, the location on Hwy. 278 in Covington, GA. has to be the worst restaurant in the state. On Friday, February 28. 2020 I ordered my food and was highly disappointed. I called to complain and the manager offered to replace my meal. I returned on Saturday, February 29, 2020 at 6:30pm the male manager was in the parking lot talking to someone for about 15 min. while the line was wrapped around the building with waiting customers. He finally decided to return to work. When I finally arrived to the window after about 20 minutes the employee told me that they were out of biscuits and provided other options. Even the free replacement meal was again poor in quality, the red beans and rice was cold. The chicken was over fried (hard/dry), had poor presentation, tasteless, awful customer service, and lacks strong management. I have given this restaurant several opportunities to get it right, only to be disappointed on each visit. Save your money and eat at home!! read more

Incredibly bad service. Rude. They never have everything that you want to order either ready or in stock. Outside is pretty clean. Inside is a different story! Extremely filthy. Sad for a restaurant that isn't even 2 years old. Maybe that is why the last 2 popeyes in Covington failed and closed. If you keep hiring the same people and running your business the same way, you will have the same outcome. Dont waste your time here!! The only reason that I gave 1 star is so that no one would think I forgot to rate them. read more
