Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen - Baton Rouge

I really love Popeyes, but my experience on this visit was one of the worst I've had. The line was extremely long, and the service was unusually slow. I had to wait about 35 minutes just to place my order, and it was another 30 minutes before I finally received my food. I ordered a 4-piece meal with fries, a large Arnold Palmer, and two chicken sandwiches. By the time my order arrived, my excitement had turned into frustration and a headache.

Here are my ratings: Cleanliness: 10 Speed of service: 10 Food freshness: 8 Overall atmosphere: 8

I ordered the macaroni and cheese along with the biscuits. The macaroni and cheese tasted like it was made with tap water—that's the best way I can describe it. It lacked seasoning and had a strange aftertaste. The biscuits were decent, though; they were nicely buttered.

The order was warm, delicious, and particularly enjoyable tonight. Everything tasted fresh and had a nice kick of spice. The mashed potatoes, refried beans, and rice were spot on. The only downside was that they forgot our biscuits, but overall, we were very satisfied with the meal.

I ordered the red beans on the side, which are still one of the largest servings you can find. However, the biscuit was somewhat stale and dry, lacking that fresh, fluffy texture that makes a good biscuit so delightful. It's worth mentioning that I ordered a chicken sandwich for breakfast along with a Barq's red cream soda, a recommendation from my friend Jonny. I have to say, Jonny was spot on—my day definitely improved after enjoying Popeyes breakfast. In your heart, you know what to do!
