I'll offer up Raceland as the worst of the worst. The newer one on 24 by troop c has been the best one.

I love Popeyes but I very rarely ever eat it for this reason.

I went to the one in Covington the other night, they were very pleasant and thorough. Ordered 3 tenders, they put like 8 in the box.

The one on the north side of Meridian, MS is awesome. We stop there anytime we’re passing through.

The few I've been to lately have all been the same...unfortunately.

They need to borrow that customer service quality from the Lords Chicken.

The weed smell pours out the windows on most of the drive bys. Someone should make fried chicken smelling weed and make a fortune

We've always had a popeyes in the town i live in, since I was a kid. 2 or 3 years ago, the line for the drive thru was always wrapped around the building and cars waisting to get into the parking lot every evening. Now, 90% of the time I pass, I can drive right up to the ordering board. Hell, most of that, they dont even have anyone waiting at all.

It’s not because the are African American ran. It’s just not, so it’s maybe because of whitey? Whitey done made Popeyes bad

My two recent stories. There is an old white lady who works at the one near me and has been there for a long time. I was in there one Sunday picking up food and she comes walking to the front after having been on her break. She mumbled about wanting some iced tea. Then she stopped and froze. Said she had to shite and took off towards the restroom.

Two months later we place an online order that was about $55. I walk in to pick it up and another customer asked what my name was. When I told him, he said someone just walked in and stole my food. I laughed thinking he was messing with me. Nope. Employees confirmed that a meth head rode up on a bike and walked in and took the bag.

This is the same place that ran out of chicken a few times a few years back. They also had one day where the few employees who were working just decided to lock the doors and leave. There were cars still waiting in the drive thru line.

They're easily the worst, with Burger King as a solid second place.

The Chalmette location is the worst in the nation

And yet, every night there a 30 - 40 min line in the drive thru

Completely bizarre

The one on the South side of Ruston, near Tech, is one of the best run I've ever been to. If I go in and eat, they always give me four tenders when I pay for three. They get my order right every time in the drive thru too.

The new one North of I-20 is closer to me, but never has gotten an order right. The last time I ate inside, they told everyone that ordered all they had was fries. Even though it's way closer to my house, I cut thru Tech and go down to the other one.

There's a Bojangles about 10 blocks North of the Popeyes at I-20 and Hwy 33. It's at the intersection where All of Karl Malone's stores are, caddy cornered from the convenience store that used to be Country Cupboard.
