I could deal with the poor service but now the product sucks.

The chicken is still good albeit tiny but the sides are suffering.

The watery beans in the half filled tiny container sucks. The new and improved TINY biscuits suck.

I once went to the one on Canal st and was told that they were out if chicken by the lady brhind the counter.

An employee of mine got a biscuit with a bite out of it.

Everytime I go I'm disappointed. I've just stopped going about a year ago.

If we're gonna shite all over the chain for having shite employees in most locations, I have to give credit to one location that does well.

Plaquemine Popeye's for lunch. I used to go there all the time when I worked in the land of the damned, and there was always the same manager on shift and older lady working the drive-thru every time I went. At least for lunch, they were always quick and almost always had enough product for the lunch rush. I only had to pull up once because they had just filled a big order and were wiped out. Just once. They NEVER got my order wrong, either.

That Popeye's gets it.

I still love the taste, but last time I got a family meal, it would've fit in a 2 piece box. It was like eating those little cornish game hens.

I quit going too. All of the ones in Metairie suck. I may have to try the ones in Dallas and see if its a Louisiana thing. I can say that the fast food experience in Dallas is light years better than in south La.

I hate the fact that so many in BR near LSU have gone out of business. I love their food, but I hate driving all the way down Government Street to get it.

The one at Magazine and Marengo has never given me a problem. I get food from there maybe two to three times a year. I don't have any idea and don't give a shite how the sizes of the pieces of chicken compare to those of a couple of years ago.

Change in management for most BR area locations. Sailor an sold out to a group of investors who have not a clue as to how to train the democrats in their employ.

I can attest that the Government Street location got 1000% better after the investors from Canada bought it.

The one here in the burbs in Birmingham is good, Off Valleydale Road. Sometimes you have to wait while they cook your chicken if you go during non peak hours. But its always hot and fresh. I'll never eat at any other fast food fried chicken shack. IMO.
