2230 C1, Cliffe Ave, Courtenay, BC V9N 2L4, Canada
Louisiana-inspired fast-food chain known for its spicy fried chicken, biscuits & sides.
The food is good and the crew/staff are very helpful specially the manager in charge. I recommend the place to eat to my friends and family's.
friendly courteous staff, clean well-lit lobby / order counter, and consistently good chicken the times that we've been there
Very good experience dining here with my friends. Very quick to serve the food.
It os like Korean fried chicken The bone less ones is very good
Can't tell you about the atmosphere as I've only used the drive through, but I can tell you they have THE BEST chicken burgers in town, hands down. I love that the staff read back your order when you get to the payment/pickup window and then again as they hand you the food. Staff is friendly and polite. Popeyes also has the best coleslaw in town. This is my go to place when I'm hungry. Prices are decent too, considering the prices at other fast food restaurants.
Been to the location couple of times especially when visiting, Drive thru and in store services are so efficient and so amazing customer engagement. One of the supervisor today was very well engaged when there was some issue with the order, and resolved it with utmost care and professionally.
The ambiance at Popeyes is relaxed and welcoming, with friendly staff members always ready to assist and serve with a smile. The fast-food concept ensures that you can get your delicious meal without a long wait, making it a perfect choice for a quick bite or a satisfying family gathering. If you're a fan of delectable Southern cuisine and crave those bold and spicy flavors, a visit to Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen is an absolute must.
We decided to try Popeyes tonight after hearing good things and reading good reviews. However, I could not be more disappointed with it. We ordered for 4 people that included a variety of menu items but nothing out of the ordinary. we ordered online for an in store pick-up as we don't live far from the restaurant. It took nearly 40 minutes for us to get our food. In that time, I watched 2 delivery drivers return to pick up food that had been forgotten. When I got our food, the fries and popcorn chicken were ice cold, the chicken nuggets were uncooked, and the "crispy" burgers were complete mush along with an order of fries missing. I understand its not going to hot after the drive home, but it shouldn't be that cold either. Upon returning to get some fresh food, my order was once again messed up so I left without the food I paid for. Now if the store was "busy", I would understand this, but there was maybe 1 person coming through every 15 minutes and there were 4-5 employees working. In addition to this, not a single one cleaned the restaurant. There was pop spilled all over the counters and tables, garbage on the floor inside, and garbage on the floor behind the counter. As most the reviews are good, I feel that I had an "off" night, unfortunately it was enough that I will not be back again.
Yummy good food and good service
Food was good. The service was excellent. Ashitosh mittal the store guy wad really helpful.
Awesome service
Amazing Experience!
I have never been to a Popeyes anywhere and was very pleasantly surprised! Delicious
Always an awesome experience.
While the service and atmosphere is not a particular strong point, the chicken is just SO good that i cant give it less than 4 stars.
My go-to meal for chicken burger! Juicy and crunchy!
Cant rate the food, couldnt get anyone to serve us at the counter. Midweek, 11:30 am, not a soul inside. One worker loitering at the drive through, one employee looking like a manager in a corner playing phone. Chef twiddling thumbs. Waited over 5 minutes, then walked out. Never again.
Visited today for lunch. Food was great. Staff was excellent. Will come back for more.
I will not be returning. I had to leave without ordering. Second time this has happened. Only one other person in the entire restaurant. The employees were so busy with online orders. No eye contact, didnt speak to me, I was there for a long time. Nothing. No communication at all.
They serves fresh chicken always. Never disappointed by food neither the staff. Keep up the great work
Great service and polite staff. Great experience. The supervisor on the shift was super efficient and managed her part pretty well.
Great food , great staff !
My family and I love this place. Food is always good and service is fast and professional. Its clean in seating area and washrooms
Best customer service, Amazing hit chicken wings freshly made
Best fried chickend in town!
The sandwich was okay, a little on the small side. The French fries were okay, but a very small serving. As for the coleslaw the container was half full.
Have had Popeyes several times since they opened and it has been good. This time however have been feeling nauseous and stomach cramps for 2 days. Ordered a 20 piece family meal, wary of going back now
Mostly I visit here with my friends and the food served here is lavish.service is too good they dont make me to wait for.
Delicious food
Filipina staff is very accommodating. Keep up the good work
Had an amazing dinner at Popeyes! The staff were super friendly and provided excellent service, making the whole experience even better. Definitely recommend it! The manager on duty made our visit one of the best experiences we ve recently had at a dine in.
Excellent place
I have come here twice, both times my food has been excellent and its literally empty. My food was hot, correct and actually really good. The gravy is amazing and I will 100% be returning. Nice job Popeyes Kid-friendliness: Im sure that is great for kids
This is the last time I am wasting my money at this location. Ice Cold fries, wilted lettuce, saddest tomato slice Ive ever seen. Absolutely disgusting
It was excellent and fresh. Will be back
Yummy
Good
Best Chicken in town
We had bought a variety of different items wings which were excellent strips popcorn chicken all were excellent. We were leary about order from Popeyes as we had tried the chicken at the Nanaimo location and had awful experience. Courtenay location had great helpful staff and food was great! Give it a try.
1st time I tried it got pretty sick. Had stomach ache and nausea all night. Bought extra for left-overs, ended up throwing all of it out. Waste of money!
Super unorganized service. If you order online, they dont pack your order until you show up. When you come for your order they could give a walk in customer the last of pieces or chicken and make you wait 15, 20 or even 30 minutes for the next batch. They also give priority to deliver drivers.
It was one busy Sunday afternoon, the line up was expected as it was Mothers day! Obviously many love their chicken (i mean who wouldnt?). I waited for a bit for my order as the crew was taking too many orders both from drive thru and inside the store but it was all worth the wait as the manager was able to handle the line up very well making sure we know how long we are expecting our food. With that great number of orders i thought they needed 4 extra heads to handle it as i had time to observe from the back comfortably waiting for my order to be served.
when i took a bit of my chicken burger, the whole inside was raw. They gave me a new one, which also turned out to be raw again.
Amazing experience visiting with my friends and especially the manager Mr. Ashutosh Mittal greeted with a warm smile and felt great hospitality much respect loved the experience definitely appreciate it and recommend it
Ashutosh Mittal is really knowledgeable and helpful gave a really welcoming and positive experience will definitely come back again Parking: Lots of space Kid-friendliness: Excellent Wheelchair accessibility: Excellent
Guy taking my order does not seem to comprehend the English language. Overcharged me, wings were too small and it was too late for me to return them as it was a take away order.
Food was served cold and chicken was smelly. Over the time I did come across a lot of negative reviews about this place and it is right. While I was scrolling through the review section general manager has added a review himself (AM). People come here with a lot of expectations and it s high time that the people here should take this seriously.
Great place to have quality chicken. The staff are friendly and provides fast service. Will definitely recommend this location. Their add-on popcorn shrimp is a must try!
Food was excellent. Very quick and friendly service. Manager came to my table asking about my meal and experience. This is the fourth time here and havent been disappointed yet.
Cool place very friendly staff. The front manager couldnt get his name is a well mannered guy. There new buffalo poutine and the wrap is a must try items. One of the fav fast food place in the valley. Must visit for sure
Great atmosphere quick service, friendly staff. Definitely recommended
Decided I wanted a couple of sides, mashed with gravy & a biscuit. Not sure what the potatoes are actually made from ... flakes maybe? Gravy is ok, biscuit is a biscuit, my biggest complaint ... 3 cars in front of me in drive-thru and it took over 15 min to get my order. They always seem to be out of something or they dont have any ready, fast food but not fast.
The food was stone cold and I m complaining the general manager, he has very rude. Popeyes is a very reputed food joint, and should give classes to their management in order to save their reputation. Never visiting this location again! Not recommending it at all!
Its the third time i have been missing the sides with my order. They Need to work on efficiency
On my visit to the restaurant, I was so eager because of the good reputation of Popeyes, but this wasnt the case and changed my mind completely. The food I ordered was stale and smelly. It wasnt even fresh, and on reporting the management about the same, no action was taken! Very poor staff management and authority! NOT RECOMMENDING THIS LOCATION TO ANYONE!
Great shrimp
Got my order from drive through. Chicken was too greasy and soggy when I drove back home
The chicken was good. The gravy was awesome. I bought some ghost pepper wings to take home. They were a disappointment, hardly any spice.
Service is always top notch when we visit and the food is usually pretty good too. We noticed the fountain drinks taste more like soda water than soda lately and the gravy has been a little too salty in the past. This location is still one of our favourite drive thrus to drive thru, when we are visiting.
First time trying Popeyes. This location was very clean, and they had wonderful and friendly staff. The food was crispy and fresh. Overall, it was a great and tasty experience!
Fast service, fresh food & clean. Friendly staff as well.
I love their food, and their service is really good, very friendly employees.
Love me some chicken. This location consistently gets my order wrong.
Decent
I have been there a couple of times and I had the ghost pepper chicken with fries combo and I found it delicious. I am glad that I went there and I will return.
Second time there and second time having the wrong order. They don t seem keen when you double check that everything is there. And you d think they d get it right as it takes around 20 mins to get your food, even when ordering ahead on the app. It seems they don t start making the app orders until they ask you why you re standing there. Foods either cold, soggy or over cooked or some combination of the above. I d say three strikes and you re out but this place only gets 2 strikes.
Best chicken in town, sad to see Kentucky Fried Chicken go down so greasy
Delicious crispy chicken
Best service and awesome food in the valley
Great service and food.
Took forever and chicken was ok
Awesome chicken in town
Fresh chicken we tried today it was awesome
Great food, staff are quick and curtious, and such a clean restaurant!!!
A great place for lunch with a cool shift from hambergers a fries. The chicken was really nice, and the Louisiana spice was just right!
Great place to have a good meal. The fries with the seasoning and the chicken were too good.
Best chicken burgers in Courtenay, Very juicy and fresh tasting, light and crispy batter.
Good food
Worst experience ever .I been there some time .They always take too much time some time for single item have to wait for 30 to 45 min .For first few visits I understand they are new but still they are taking too much time to prepare one order .Annoying and it happens all the time dinner and lunch .
Really frustrating place. Not satisfied with their service. Have to wait for soo long to get food. Sometime, i leave without food. Suggestion to all, don t waste your time here.
Chicken was fresh spicy and hot love that chicken
good food and hospitale team
Not good for you food that is delicious. Beats KFC any day
We recently ordered meals and , chicken tender from here. Delivery was before the estimated time.. food was pretty warm. Burger size was good and quite filling. I love their coleslaw salad.. its super yummy .. their chicken tenders were very juicy and super crunchy .. best part of the meal was fries.. i dont know what they add or how they do it.. they are soooo good.. i mean really good the best in all foodchain. Their hospitality is really awesome. Ive met the manager George, he is just amazing, I admired how he treats the customers and his coworkers . He is really an amazing man.
Good place to have quality food and clean atmosphere in the town. Also excellent customer service. Highly recommend...
Tried the Ltd. fish sandwich. It was good. Service, I pre-ordered from their APP and still had a 10 minute wait for food.
Good chicken... everything else needs work. Staff messed up multiple orders during my visit. Restaurant was filthy and no manager to be found. Waited 25 min for my order which was incomplete. I like the chicken but will find a different location next time.
The chicken burger they gave me was maybe room temperature if I m being generous. Never had fast food served that cold before. Won t return.
Great place to have broasted chicken in town
Was amazing
Great customer service and good food
Excellent,highly recommended
Had a great experience!! loved the staff
Wonderful experience friendly staffs and tasty food.
Amazing experience! Food was delicious. Customer service was great, especially the manager guy he was very friendly and polite.
Very good
Food is very tasty
Best customer service
Two items forgotten in my order. Inside counter staff rude and disinterested.
Good customer service. General Manager took care of me. Thank you. Parking: Very congested area with multiple businesses, narrow driveway and very limited options for exiting. Takes a long time in your vehicle when they are busy! Food : 4/5 |
Best fried chicken in the island
Food sat out too long before being served fries were just warm
Slow. Order missing entire item. Asked for no pickle and got pickles.
Good chicken! Friendly staff and good service
Great food and service!
Great food, even better service! Thanks Popeyes
Order a coupon special and until we got to where we were going didnt notice order was wrong. Good chicken though.
Delicious
That was one chunk of chicken cooked perfectly
If you order online for a specific pickup time, your order will not be ready. Expect to wait another 15 or 20 minutes.
Love the chicken nuggets Yummy Food
Love me some chicken
Just wasnt my bag
Good food and prompt service!
Great customer service and awesome food!!
I dont usually write these but I love Popeyes & this Popeyes was even better then all the rest that Ive been to across Canada... the chicken was amazing & a man named Yogesh gave me outstanding customer service.. what a legend!
Fresh, crispy chicken. My daughter loved it too. MUCH better than the other chicken place down the street.
Crispy chicken sandwich was wicked good. Plenty of crunch, juicy, on a brioche bun. Popcorn shrimp were slightly overdone in my opinion.
Too few fries, wack coleslaw, bland chicken sandwich
My burger was wrong. The drive thru wait time was excessive.
Every time I go here its super clean and the employees are always happy . Thats just refreshing! The food is just as good as the service.
This is what you get for a 30 minute wait at Popeyes in Courtenay, BC 1 wilted lettuce, 2 tablespoons of mayo and 1 sad looking chicken burger in a soggy bun, because of all the mayo. I did not ask for tomatoes. The definition of fast food is food that can be prepared quickly and easily. The excuse given, was that they had new staff. My thought on that excuse, is do not use the new staff until fully trained! I do not blame the untrained staff, I blame the owner of the franchise, letting them hit the floor before they are trained,
-Food took 25 minutes. -forgot a drink and was confused about the fact Id like my 2nd drink. -forgot the honey mustard sauce... THE HONEY MUSTARD OF ALL THINGS. My nugs remained dry , but my tears kept my cheeks wet... I was too tired to care so i just drove away, so thats on me. Chicken was pretty darn ok though
Always have to wait 30 +mins for order and made multiple mistake on orders.
Had the mild chicken but should have went for the spicey.. fries were very good..staff were awesome
Great food
Gone here twice at 9pm and doors are locked and they just smile and wave. Sign on the door says they close at 930.
the bus
food real good man
Very clean and good food Wheelchair accessibility: Not too many stairs good for wheel chairs Food : 5/5 |
You know what it is.
Kid-friendliness: The parking lot layout is odd. Food
Theyve got a ways to go here. The food was luke warm, except for the biscuit, which was hot. The food has obviously been sitting a while and the lobby was very dirty. Very disappointing as other locations do take pride in their business and serving guests.
Nice staff, good food, quick service
Best fried chicken in town
Very friendly staff! Best fried chicken in the valley! Reasonable prices.
Love me some chicken! Baaaak Baaaaak Food
Food is good specially the fries
Nice atmosphere, clean and friendly
Spicy chicken sandwich is our favorite
You like super crispy Chicken? You gotta try Popeyes! Sorry to say the service is not always great but worth the wait.
Awesome!!
The manager is racist towards natives and to top of that experience the food was not good at all dried out and only lukewarm having been left with indigestion from our racist experience we were not able to digest the food as well. We will not be back ever.
Parking: Great sauces Food
First time having this chicken, did not live up to the hype. Nothing special.
This was my fourth and last trip to the Popeyes chain, good thing is they are consistent, consistently bad, unfortunately this franchise was my last and final visit so they get the brunt of my bad review, service was great and friendly, store front was really nice but like all the other franchises in BC (Mission/Nanaimo/Richmond) the food is really bad and overpriced. I literally think a McChicken tastes way better and a lot cheaper. Lots of hype for overpriced food that ends up in the garbage because it tasted like cardboard. One good thing is they do give lots of dips to make the food palatable. Thumbs up for that.
The staff are so nice and its always clean
Nanaimos Popeyes is much better with service and quality. Staff were short, chicken dry.
The food is ok but the service also took me at least 30 mins every single time I visit even I already ordered 30-40 mins before pick up!
Their crispy chicken sandwich was one of the better ones weve had at a fast food place in quite a while. Their portion size for fries and onion rings are very small.
sides were stone cold, sides container were slightly better than half full......3 pieces of chicken, 2 sides and a drink...$17. I wouldnt complain if it wasnt such a lousy deal. go to QF instead
Food was undercooked, almost not cooked at all. Also the staff was quite rude. I am a huge fan of Popeyes, but this location is abysmal!
Friendly staff, everything was clean and food tasted good. Would definitely eat here again.
Quick service
Love that chicken from Popeyes! Is there anything else to say. Food
First time at Popeyes. I never eat chicken skin, ever, but Popeyes was actually crispy and super tasty!
Lovely dinner with a friend, tried the chicken wings BBQ flavor is lit! Must try Fries are amazing indeed! Okay we got Pizza from Papa Johns too
This is my 3rd instance I was send away and reason saying shop closed . I checked if my watch was wrong or I was at wrong time zone! No I was on PST TIME and I was there at 840 , 845pm and yesterday at 839pm! Moreover when asked if there was anything left , they said that 4 pieces were available. Much to disappointment we found only 3 pieces in the take out and charged 7$ for 4. Terrible experience.
Popeyes has become my family s favourite chicken place in Canada. Every time it s consistently delicious. Will be coming here every chance we get. This location is always amazing
Placed the order on the app, called them specially to request to make the chicken fresh even then the chicken tasted stale. Disappointed with the poor behavior of selling and getting rid of old stock. Will never try again! Food : 2/5
Food was awesome but the wait is long because of Skip The Dishes orders. They fill them before walkin orders.
