I had a wonderful visit as always. I purchased the 16 piece meal to go and will again. The meal comes with two large sides and 10 rolls. I was ordering everything separately and a nice gentleman offered the meal deal, Everything was amazing and prepared perfectly. I drive a good ways to come here and have for years. My friends and my families favorites are, fried chicken, fried catfish, meatloaf, chicken and dressing, black eye peas, cornbread, mashed potatoes with yummy gravy, broccoli and cheese, turnip greens, then last but not least, their amazing homemade peach cobbler . Do not forget to add a pepper and a deviled egg at the end. Served cafeteria style. Oh they Do have a drive thru!! read more

I went through the drivethru and order chicken livers and they were nasty and cold and $ 7.57 when I could got them at church 's for half that and they would be hot and fresh. There price is way to high on livers I could of got 9 prices of chicken for a few dollars more. read more

I love this place. I've eaten here two times about a year apart. The first time I was able to eat inside and choose my meal from the steam tables. The second time was during the pandemic so we ordered through the drive up and took the food to go. Both times, the food was very good. I had fried chicken the first time and chicken fried steak the second time. I love sweet potatoes and fried okra and had those sides both times I visited. This is a great hometown cooking place and I'm sure to return when I'm back in town. read more

Worst fried chicken I've ever had in my life. We bought the 8 piece and unfortunately threw it away because it tasted like burnt grease. The mash potatoes and rolls were delicious. Mac and cheese tasted like water. Really disappointed. read more

Chicken was tender but super salty. Staff was great and super fast. I like mom and pop shops so I will try again. There are more seasonings than salt. read more

Chicken strip meal was perfect! Called in the order and it was ready when I arrived! Overall good experience

**Pop's has the best fried chicken! And sides. Easy to order at the drive thru. ***

Spaghetti was mostly liquid in a bowl. A decent amount of noodles needed to be added to the sauce. Sauce had a great flavor, but noodles were much lacking . read more

I love Pop's. If you're looking for good, home cooked like southern food, this is the place. They always have a good selection, like a cafeteria line. The staff is always friendly and are quick and efficient. I have a special needs son in a wheelchair and they always ask how he is doing, because they remember me, even though I'm not in there that much. I only wish it was a little bit cheaper, but then again, everything is expensive now! read more

Chicken livers we're hard and over cooked the last time I got them. Couldn't hardly chew them. Wasted money! Won't be back! Sorry

If You are passing through must stop, this is down home cooking...just old school. Hard to find the true small mom and pop operations. read more

Good home cooking! food is pretty bland though. Great price! The fried chicken and vegetables are very good.

The last time I ordered there food it wasn't that great I also think that the previous owners run the business better

Always consistently good!!! Love chicken livers /gizzards. Greens are killer!!!! Like the dressing.

Good food but small portions and pretty high prices for the little amount of food that you get. I rarely eat there when I'm through Terrell because of the value. After a lunch you're still hungry. read more

Good, inexpensive home cooking. Can't go wrong with any of the sides. Love the hamburger steak or the fried fish.

Pop's has always been one of my favorites. They always serve fresh, hot, and delicious food. Just wish they'd bring back the cheeseburgers... Good, people, good service, and good food... read more

Best place for a great & wonderful meal. The food is hot and fresh the meatloaf was off the chain & of course the fried chicken is the best around. You have so much to choose from. Also if you ever have it delivered no worries the food is still great. I just hate they never send cornbread & there's not a option to ask for it. But other than that this place is pretty perfect. ( if u know u know). Best place to eat in TERRELL TEXAS. THANK YOU for everything the fresh food the many options and the great people you have working they are so nice and helpful. You can tell they like there jobs. I have never got a bad meal at pops. So yea go try it out you will leave happy & full ready to go home and take a nap. The place is very clean the restroom are always clean and fully stocked. Many bilingual employees which helps so much keep up the good work. A loyal customer for life read more

We visited after our trip to Ham Orchards. The have a cafeteria still setup with various sides to choose from. Unfortunately, all of our food, including the chicken, was very bland. There was no flavor to the mashed potatoes or gravy. My daughter did not like the macaroni and cheese. I hardly ever turn down a roll, but this one was inedible. My family said the cornbread was not much better. The green beans were the best part of the meal. read more

Not an ounce of seasoning anywhere in sight. The mac and cheese is extremely bland, the cornbread had a weird texture and does not taste right, and the mashed potatoes taste like they came from a school cafeteria. read more

Friendly staff greet you and help you through this cafeteria style restaurant experience. They have a nice variety of choices for chicken(fried, baked, or with dumplings), some sandwiches, maybe some enchiladas, etc, several veggies and a couple of desserts. For me, they really hit the mark when I need a homestyle comfort food fix. Prices are very reasonable, and they serve on paper or foam plates, but the restaurant is always clean and the drive thru is always busy. I try to hit this place every time I am back in Terrell to visit my mom - so get some!! read more

I was in Terrell last week and stopped into one of my favorite places there, Pops honey fried chicken. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with my meal. I really love liver and onions and almost never get it so I decided I'd have that for lunch. The liver was posterboard thin with thick breading on both sides. 2/3 breading 1/3 liver. I've had liver here before in the past and it had almost no breading, just a light flour coating and fried to perfection 3/8 to half-inch thick. It was $7.99 when I was there last week which I believe was more than I paid for it before. I'm including pictures so you can appreciate the crazy thick breading and the crazy thin liver. If feels like something may have changed at this establishment, or, maybe it's just the feeling I walked away with after this poor experience. read more

Not friendly ... The fish was cold the string beans were cold . When I ask the person behind the counter they said oh they probably took your food off the top that's why it was cold. Pitiful I was there about a year ago and the food was good the service was friendly that's why I came back. I was very disappointed. I would think twice before I spent my money at pops read more

Tenders are nice and big! The chicken is always fresh and no fatty pieces! I love it!!

We live in Forney, and if I'm honest, I have not been too impressed with their selection of fried chicken restaurants. My husband and I were craving fried chicken one night, so I got on Yelp and found this place. Sure, it was a little out of the way for us, but the reviews were promising, and well, we wanted fried chicken! It was a great decision, because we have fallen in love with this place. We ordered the 12 piece chicken meal with mashed potatoes and gravy, and broccoli cheese rice. We also got two slices of pie. It came to around $20. We took the chicken to go, and I was a little worried that our trip home would cause the chicken to get a little soggy, but it didn't it all! The chicken is so good. Nice and crispy on the outside, juicy and flavorful on the inside. The sides were really good too. And the pie? My husband enjoyed his lemon meringue, and the chocolate meringue pie I had was delicious! It was definitely worth the trip. We moved to Texas a few years ago, and I don't think you could find a place like this where I come from. It's a no frills restaurant with a small town Texas feel. The service is friendly, the price is right, and the chicken is A+. read more

WARNING WARNING WARNING!!! This was our go to place for home cooking however the last time we were there I waited on my tenders as though they were being freshly cooked sadly they were not they were room temp , I was sick,both me and my husband for two days that was it that did it we will not be going back not to mention all the people working there are not friendly and look very unhappy when we walk in but we ignored that and would go back but the cold chicken and getting sick we will never go to this place. It's a shame though looks like a lot of regulars go and thats the ones they seem to be happy to see and welcome. It's really no big deal not to go back many other places we can spend our $ but I do want all to know this place is rude & un-welcoming if your not a regular parton also that we got sick from chicken that did not temp 165 degrees. I've been in food service for decades I will say I knew better but we were hungry and that's our failure to complain rite then and request fresh food especially chicken we should all know under 165 degrees bacteria starts to grow most should especially in a restaurant where you serve others all should be up on food safety. Shame on you we will not come back you've made that decision for us no telling what the back of the house looks like I'd be afraid to see. Just beware when you decide to eat here for your own health. read more

OK. So I'm not sure what I thought this place was, but wow. Just wow. Stopped by with some friends I. Their recommendations- and it was truly amazing food. I will be going here more often! read more

A Terrel Favorite! Just some good home cooking all around! Don't come here looking for diet food, it's southern comfort food packed full of flavor! Just remember to save room for dessert. read more

Today we tried a new place. We are in the middle of what looks like no where but this town somehow is booming. Cute place. Now on to pops- we were hesitant. Until we saw the parking lot. It's was packed. You walk in and it's cafeteria style on how you pick your meal. I went for the 3 piece chicken strips, 2 sides, and a roll. Great choice and a ton of food. They have a lot of veggie choices (16 according to their window sign). I chose the sweet potato casserole and corn. Both were amazing. Ok the corn tasted like buttery corn but it was what I was craving at the time. The sweet potatoes. It's like you were sitting at grandmas house. So sweet and marshmallowy. Now to the best part- the chicken strips. Huge. I only ate 1 and nibbled on the second one. It was perfect consistency, crunchy and delish. I got the gravy to go with it and did add lots of salt and pepper but that was the only thing I had to do. Definitely not a let down. I was way to full for dessert but I heard the peach pie is worth a try! read more

Pop's Fried Chicken - Those sweet potatoes are a must try! - Fast Food Near Me - Terrell, Texas

This place was amazing, I drove 13 mins to get here as it was the nearest restaurant to where I was. For $8 I could not ask for anything better. They seem to also be taking covid pretty seriously, everyone I saw there had their masks on and over their nose. The only reason I don't give 5 stars was the chicken wasn't seasoned very much at all read more
