On June 21 2022, around approximately 7 pm. I always ordered a family meal and did not get one item instead I got one more wing, brest and leg for the 12 peace. Now they said you cannot do this. So I am forced to get something I don't eat. It is my purchase. My food and I do not appreciate having to get what I do not want. You are about to lose my family a...

Popeyes Shrimp, any kind popeyes serves.

I have been wanting to try Popeyes for awhile and finally did yesterday June 19. 2022. I wasted $18. The shrimp was actually fried breading with a had piece of a pencil eraser inside. Not edible much less any taste to it. No exaggeration - the shrimp was a dark dried up piece of rubber. Popeyes in Mt Prospect needs some training or decent cooks. No wonder that place is never busy. Stick with the chicken / that was somewhat edible. The fries weren’t totally done either. Very very Disappointing. Waste of money. If no improvement, they’re out of business real quick.

Popeyes Dry, stale & chicken that's been sitting for hr.'s

On June 16th 2022, at about 7pm or 8:20pm, I decided to go to Popeyes at the 5th street HWY location to eat my last meal for the evening, because I had schedule my colonoscopy for June 21st, 2022, so this would be my last meal until the procedure.

So after arriving at Popeyes I purchased (as always) a 4 pec's wing mild w/fry's, I was charged $12.00, (a little more than usual) but ok.

After I got home around 8:40pm (not sure of time), I took off my jacket & shoes immediately &went down to my basement to eat.

When 1st eating, I noticed that my wings were a little hard, not sure why, I investigated. I then noticed I was given a 5 pcs & not a 4 pcs & then I found the food was dry & seem hard,

I became upset, because of not wanting to have to put my things back on & tracking down there to complain why my food taste & feel like it's been siting out all night & why the employees were serving food like this.

So I did, I got dressed all over again, got in my SUV & drove back to the Popeyes, upon arriving I found the doors were locked, so I had to get back in my SUV & drive to drive - in-, I asked the server immediately is it their practice to serve Dry/stale food that's been sitting for hr.'s & can I get my money back.

The server started to say Sir we cant take the food back because u ate some of it. I said I tried to, so I wouldn't have to come back, but it became so unbearable I couldn't do it & I then became upset. I then ask to speak to the Mgr. he to refuse to help resolve the situation.

I became irate & immediately told him I will never visit this store & I would notify my family & friends as well, He said do what u must its 9:30 or 9:40pm (it's been 2 hrs) he said, I said yeah I was trying to stomach this stuff but found I couldn't.

He said sorry can't help u, I said are u going to do me this way, he said yes I am...1 said WOW!.. ok never again will I come to this restaurant & I will try to put a stop payment on my debit card because I did not receive the service as promised... I just feel so unvalued right now!, all for $12 bucks... I ask the BBB if they can help also. People... be careful eating food from this location their practices are not up to standard, I noticed one time the window cashiers were putting up Tip signs at their window... they have very LOW standards.

Thank U

Jay

Desired outcome: Please Refund my $12.00

Today, June 15th, 2022 I pulled in to the drive through to place an order for one chicken sandwich. I was told by someone that they would be back to take my order. Over 5 minutes later I heard can I help you, I said I would like a chicken sandwich. I was told they were out of chicken sandwiches. It is not good business to have a customer wait 5 minutes or...

Popeyes Fraud/false advertisement

Urgent on-going fraud: false advertisement the sign clearly said 20 piece tenders only for $21.99 (see photo 1) and the on-site manager (rodrigo) acknowledged the mischarge for $34.99 (see photo 2) but refused to honor the price and proceeded to rudely and aggressively replied,"it is what showed up in the computer! So that is what you have to pay for! Next customer". It was a blatant fraud and customer abuse witnessed by all in the store; indeed, I have been wronged.

Desired outcome: 1. Stop the fraud immediately, so others will not fall victim to this crime; 2. Apology; 3. Full Refund; 4. Compensation for unwarranted oral and mental abuse.

when going to Popeyes in Hazlet NJ. They tried to rip me off and then wouldn't give me my money back. Ordered a 12 piece of tenders that the menu board said 16.99 but they charged me 24.99. When I corrected them they told me they weren't gonna refund me because that is the price. I had to argue with them until they gave it. Then the manager made a rude remark about me fighting over 8 dollars.

I am a mixed race of hispanic and filipino. I went to buy some food after work, and the manager I think was on duty, started making fun about my asian half... I didn't find it amusing, and almost canceled my order. This behavior is what's wrong with this country now, bullying, and racism. I promise not to give any more business to that particular store..

Popeyes Gift Card

I received a gift card for Popeyes Famous Louisiana Chicken in May 2022. I have visited two Popeyes locations (Jefferson Street and Charlotte Pike) during the month of May 2022 in Nashville, TN and was told that gift cards are not accepted at their location. Is it true that gift cards may only be used at certain locations? If so, how do I find out where my gift card can be used?

Desired outcome: A usable gift card or credit card equaling the amount of the card I have not been able to use totaling $20.00.
