The mashed potatoes & gravy as well as the red beans & rice were delicious. The spicy chicken I ordered, however, was not spicy. Good to be sure, but not what I ordered. Sadly, I'm done with Popeyes here. Their unique offerings have always been their delicious red beans & rice and their signature spicy fried chicken. If I can't get what I ordered, I'll just go elsewhere. read more

I'm sticking with the two star review. The nutshell: Lunchtime on a Tuesday. A lady ordering, two guys separately behind her and then me. It took me 8 minutes to get up to the front to order. Partly due to one cashier, partly due to a language barrier with the lady (which, I'm like, just order the #3 or #5 or whatever), partly due to a busy drive-through, but mostly understaffed or if not that under-organized. More staff or better organization (flexible to work in other areas where there is a pinch point.) Part of my delay was that the cashier had to also help assemble orders and "be right with me." I'm just saying that waiting 8 minutes in line before being able to order is a long time. I'm also saying that the cashier did a good job juggling it all and was still polite and exhibited good customer service and awareness. Unfortunately, "the truck this morning didn't bring me any tea" happened. So there was no sweet or unsweetened tea. Which may not sound like a big deal unless you market yourself as a Southern style (albeit Cajun) restaurant. But having tea is just an expectation for a Southern oriented place, like having biscuits. Speaking of which, mine was lukewarm to cold. Popeyes can have good biscuits, but only when they are fresh and flaky centers with crisp exterior and that buttered crown. Or, they can be cold or lukewarm and dense. Also speaking of which, lukewarm does not help chicken tenders taste better either. The breading - good, the texture - crisp & tender and flavor was good, but these were lukewarm at best, and that is a big negative. Why? Because I drove past Zaxby's specifically to come to Popeye's and the last few times at Zaxby's their tenders were hot, juicy and freshly made. There is more to these chicken wars than a chicken sandwich! Also, it is prime lunch time, so food should be cranking out, fresher and hotter. From my arrival to my food's arrival was 16 minutes. From my order to my food arrival was 8 minutes. Just in case you are keeping score on the lunch hour timeline. There were a few groups in house dining. One was a group of 5-6 teens. They crowded around a four top. The larger round table was being used by an un-uniformed manager or franchise owner doing work (he got up a couple of times to enter the kitchen like a boss). I just thought that during lunch hour, that table might be made available for dine in guests instead of the option being taken up by a laptop and stacks of paperwork for a manager, even if it was the franchise owner. Generally speaking, the food would have been markedly improved in taste and experience if it were fresher or hotter. The restaurant is clean. The staff is friendly. There are some warning signs and there is room for improvement. It will be debatable if I drive past Zaxby's, Chick-Fil-A to get here, not to mention Publix or Spinx, who both also have chicken tender contenders. read more

Food delicious though while getting ready to sit down to eat the entire restaurant staff were arguing among themselves so loud that two patrons in line walked out the door., this argument was nothing but complaints about being understaffed, hours, and vulgarity. very uncomfortable i will not visit this store again...

We went to Popeyes my boyfriend got a large sandwich meal and his sandwich was cold, the cup of Mac and Cheese was not filled. They were out of 3 of the items included in the meals and kept having to redo substitutions. My cheese bites were cold and the wait was at least 15 minutes in the drive through. We waited to order at the window for a good portion of that. Overall, not a great experience and won't be returning. read more

The employees Amanda there they're very nice. They offer me a free drink while I was waiting for over 20 minutes for an order.

Great customer service. read more

Our experience tonight at Popeyes was truly amazing! We especially want to recognize Porsha, who went the extra mile to provide us with excellent customer service. She was incredibly attentive, welcoming, and professional. The entire team working tonight did a phenomenal job, and the food was fresh and delicious. Porsha and the rest of the staff absolutely deserve a raise and a promotion for their hard work. We will definitely be back to this location! read more

This was of the most unprofessional restaurants that Ive ever visited. The employee on the register was using profanity towards another employee, threatening her with violence. She then continued to fix herself 5 boxes of food while customers waited 25 minutes. After she finished fixing her order, she walked out leaving customers to wait an hour and leaving the restaurant. I will never visit that establishment again read more

Every time I come here they have a different issue. Today, I get two surf and turf boxes. One combo one regular. My regular box came with no fries or a biscuit so I pull back around and ask and she said because I didn't order a dinner I didn't get that yet I paid the price for one read more

Good food at reasonable prices! I couldn't ask for more! Their success speaks for themselves!

Sat in drive thru line for at least 20 mins. No one came to intercom nor was there a sign . I pull to the window the lady says we will open at 11:30 which is an hour and a half from the time i got there at 10. So cars are just sitting in line for nothing while they are supposed to to be open without any notice . read more

On 4-6-25 my husband placed an online order for drive-thru pick-up. I arrived at the drive-thru at 6:07pm and told them I was there to pick up an order for James Furr. They confirmed the order (16 piece family meal with fries, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, extra biscuits, and a pickle lemonade) and told me to pull around. Once I was at the window, they asked me to pull forward while the food was cooking. 20 minutes later I was asked to pull forward more so another car could pull forward behind me and wait also. After waiting 40 minutes, at 6:47 I went inside the restaurant. I explained that I had been waiting for 40 minutes for my order. One of the employees mumbled under his breath, "It's 16 pieces of chicken mam" to which I responded, "It takes more than 40 minutes to make 16 pieces of chicken??" There seemed to be 2 managers and 3 other employees working as well, so it wasn't a short-staffed issue. During my 40 minute wait, I saw numerous people come and go with their food. Once I was inside, one of the employees went out to deliver to the car that was waiting behind me! I received my order at 6:59pm, 52 minutes from the time I first got to the drive-thru. Waiting 52 minutes for a $64 order is absolutely ridiculous! Nothing was done to try and fix the situation, not even a sorry or anything. If anything, they seemed annoyed that I was complaining. The other customers inside were sympathetic and were telling me to ask for my money back and that there was no way they would wait as long as I did. While inside, I read the employee board, which said things to the effect of fixing times, listening to the customers, and trying to improve their overall rating number. None of this was done. We are a Bojangles family but wanted to give Popeyes a chance. We will stick to Bojangles for the time being. read more

Out of fries at 2pm on a Sunday.... It's always something with this location. I will not be returning.

I generally like Popeyes. I don't stop often, but when the taste for spice and chicken hits, Popeyes is a reliable remedy. Was good to see this unit open in this area. Stopped in last week and ordered the three wing combo. Got home and not a wing in sight. They blew it, but anyone can make occasional mistakes. Not getting the wings last week was my rational for stopping in again today. Sounds like a good excuse anyway! Placed the order for the three wing platter; without mention of last week. Price on the overhead menu reads $10.99, okay. Cashier rings the order up and says $14.24. I say "whoa! The price is $10.99. How do we get to $14.24?" The cashier says "tax". I respond, tax on $10.99 is not $3.14? A lady that appeared to be a team leader heard a bit of the exchange and stepped over. I made my point to her. She stated, "it's our error. The overhead menu prices have increased, but we have not been able to change the pricing on the menu". I stated "You should charge customers the price quoted on the menu". She responds "That's beyond our control". I did not have time to linger and debate everything that's is wrong with this. They have time to change the prices at the cash register, but not on the menu? They don't mention this to customers at all prior to checkout? The menu board price is $10.99. The real price is $13.19. Percentage wise, that's one hell of an increase. Add tax and it's $14.24 for three wings. Really now,.... And they assume every customer will sleep through this. It's unethical as a very minimum. Transparency is critical to customer care and experience. Popeyes has some real work to do in determining and living it's core values. Until they get it right, just keep you eyes open and inquire about prices before placing an order. I value transparency. For me, a two star rating is being extremely forgiving. read more

I paid for a combo and an extra sandwich and they didn't give me my extra sandwich. When I confronted them, they said that I never paid for it and I got scammed for 7 dollars. They paid me back but it's the principle to get it right the first time. Plus, there was a dead fly on the counter that wasn't even bothered to be picked up. read more

First time here and it wasn't a disappointment. I got the 12 piece nugget combo with Cajun fries and a drink. I was surprised at the size of the nuggets. Pretty good size and I was hungry. I managed to eat 9 of the nuggets and most of the fries. The chicken was crispy, juicy and tender and the fries were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The inside of the store was extremely clean and the staff was friendly. Only thing I didn't like was the location. Not the easiest to get in and out of. read more

The worst Popeye's chicken I have ever had. If I could give 0 stars, I would. I got the regular, non spicy. And it had no spices at all-no salt, no pepper, none at all. My son got the spicy and there was very little difference in taste. Won't eat at the Mauldin SC store ever again. read more

First time we ordered from here we were missing a drink. Just ordered again and we're missing a whole sandwich, drink and fries. Called the store multiple times just for no answer. Food was cold both times. I'm pregnant, so this got on my last nerve. If you want service that's even close to decent, don't come here- because for some reason these people never know how to do a basic job. Side note, with the amount of bad reviews that, how is this place still standing? Make it make sensee read more

This Popeyes need to be closed down. It's bad enough the employees are rude as hell but the store inside is filthy with spilled iced tea on the counter empty straw wrappers laying around on the floor wet on the floor it's lucky I didn't trip and fall. The tops for the drinks were empty over by the fountain machine. And the employee that took my order was very rude unprofessional and lacked customer service skills totally. You could tell she was upset with her job and probably I would recommend she quits. The health department's getting called on this store and corporates being called. I ordered boneless chicken wings that cost me almost $34. Look at the pictures below the amount of sauce is very sparingly because the dispenser ran out and the employee was too lazy to fill it back up and do like they're supposed to do. read more

The service and counter operations at this store have been generally atrocious since its opening. The chicken is good if you can get it. The door is often locked during business hours. There is no sign telling customers it is drive thru only, so after parking, walking to the door finding it locked, the customer must get back in the car, drive around the building, and enter the back of the car line, When the store is open, the service is often slow and operations inefficient. I really don't think that I can go there anymore after so many bad experiences. read more

The food was not even cooked it was raw and cold I do not recommend going there it was super cold and raw

Service is horrible! Rude workers. This was my third and last time coming here. They advertise chicken sandwiches, but rarely have them. The person working drive in was mumbling so bad that I couldn't understand her. I told her so and she yells sarcastically. I drove off and will never return. At least they're consistent. read more

The girl with the puff is rude asf taking orders talking about I'm waiting... working at Popeyes is not hard do better.

On October 6, 2023, I placed an order via drive-through. Huge mistake! I witnessed the young lady that took my order take out her cell phone and take a picture of my debit card. Immediately upon her handing me my card, I called my lending institution and cancel that card. I definitely called back and spoke with the manager of Popeyes. I asked him to terminate this young lady. He said that he was going to suspend her without pay, then allow her to come back to work. I definitely would tell any and everyone reading this to tell a friend to tell a friend to stop going to this establishment, especially using credit or debit through the window. It's not safe! read more

food came fast and hot. the order was right. tasted great. friendly, helpful staff. good amount of food for the price. fed a family of five to full (2 teens) for $53. my family almost didn't eat here bc it only had a 1.6 rating. I'm so glad we gave this restaurant a chance. read more

I ain't even get past the drive through part. Seen an employee taking out the trash in his apron which was coated with flour. Meaning food may be touching the aprons surface. As a food service worker myself, that is unacceptable. DHEC would not approve. They also leave the lights off at night to make themselves seem close. But if the GM don't care, who will. read more

It's Saturday at 1031 am posted opening hours is 10am. Both doors are locked, there is a child who is maybe 6 or 7 years old sitting in the lobby by himself. No one is answering the drive thru, no one is answering the phone. This sadly isn't the first time this location has done something like this. This location needs to just go ahead and shut down if they aren't going to open at 10 like they have posted everywhere around the restaurant. The fact that the management is even failing to answer the phone or the drive thru to explain why yet again they are not open when they are suppose to be speaks volumes on their lack of service skills. It's a shame too because everyone was so happy when Mauldin got a Popeyes, that was until this type behavior became a regular occurrence. read more

Every time we go here, we get a different problem; either the food is not what we ordered, or they were out of what we wanted, and the service at the counter is unapologetic about the shortcomings. The chicken is decent and I think their spicy chicken sandwich is the best deal, but for what you spend and what you get...just not worth it... read more

Although the food is delicioso I wouldn't recommend for big orders. They always forget at least one meal or sides. I went and spent quite a bit of money and they forgot 2 meals and all our fries the money spent was not worth the amount of food we received. They are not very patient service wise. I broke my hearing aid recently so I couldn't hear well and asked to repeat something nicely and received attitude. Though I get having to deal with repeating or someone not understanding, attitude is not very nice. read more

When I realized it I took them back and adjective why would you give cold food after waiting in line for 10 minutes??! The dust cook came to the window and " says oh the buns should be the only thing cold " like that's the best solution , I keep my fillets under a heat lamp , I replied well the lamp not heating smh , I can give you a refund , how about take more pride in what your serving customers , never again read more
