Always courteous staff, clean restaurant and quick service, the manager is positive with customers as well as staff. Manager seems well liked by his peers as well as patrons. Positive atmosphere overall. Never had a single issue and been going to this location daily for several years. I've been to a few different locations, and the above are the reasons why I keep going to this location, even though there's 2 other locations closer to home. Everyone here is always smiling, positive and I always look forward to go to this location. 10 out of 10 all around :) For anyone who says otherwise either never went in person to this location or has an issue with Popeye's in general. Instead of posting negative reviews, why not suggest something positive and constructive instead ? Do something better with your time instead of spreading false information.
Chicken had a weird texture/taste, barely noticeable. Their Mac and cheese is good for fast food standards. Nice employees and environment. Their fries are kind of like TB fries but more crispy.
Ordered from Popeyes tonight and couldn't help but notice a real drop in the portion size. The pieces looked smaller than what I’m used to getting from them. Taste and seasoning were still there, but when you’re expecting a hearty serving and open the box to find smaller-than-expected pieces, it’s definitely a letdown. Consistency is key, and I hope they address this soon because quality and quantity go hand in hand for a satisfying meal.
Terrible Management and Customer Service I had an awful experience at this Popeyes location, mainly due to the behavior of the manager. The manager is incredibly rude and disrespectful to customers, constantly lying and treating people poorly. I’ve never encountered such unprofessionalism before. The staff also seem to follow this negative behavior, which makes the entire experience frustrating and unpleasant. This is not how a restaurant should be run, and it’s definitely not a place I’d recommend to anyone. Avoid this location if you value decent customer service.
Finally a Popeyes where when you step in it smells good, sanitary and clean. They basically all have the same food, at least this one is clean
Bought the garlic parmesan but the sauce taste like salty butter no hint of Parmesan as you can see in the photo (yellow sauce).
Chicken sandwiches are 6.99 each. They are tasty juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. I’d give 5 star if the chicken pieces are not so small. I had chicken sandwiches in other locations and they are bigger. The place is clean and spacious with booths. The staff struggle to take instructions. We told them on one of the sandwiches we would like mayonnaise on half only as we are sharing that and one of us doesn’t like mayonnaise. We explained it for a few minutes. We ended up getting mayonnaise on whole of the underside. We did ask for mayonnaise on the side but the staff said management won’t allow that. Strange that’s what we did for all other locations.
Staff is very nice! The restaurant is very clean and tables are closed off. The accessible button for the doors didn't work. I had my dad opening the door for me. Everything is good! I love popeyes! I would recommend this restaurant to everyone who likes fried foods. If you have mobility issues and need the door button I would skip this place until its fixed! The food is excellent! I LOVE the mash potatoes! The biscuits are the best! The mac n cheese is really good and creamy and the chicken is soooo good!
Friendly service, very fast, food was hot and tasty. Very clean, nice decor.
I have experience really bad attitude and not even properly responding to customer. Not only this but also the not providing the food to the on time and I m feel like existing and awful.
Ghost Pepper chicken is great, when they have it
This is the best fried chicken in town. My daughter love this place and we are regularly here for 2-3 time weekly. Highly recommended
As always I find their food tasty. For whatever reason customer service at any Popeyes is lacking. Staff seem put off by questions and dont offer helpful solutions or answers
Everything was perfect except
Have eaten here alot. Today got kicked out after one of my three young daughters brought in taco bell to eat with us. Had to corral my kids and elderly mother with dementia across parking lot while organizing now take out to eat in car. Never again.
My 1st time having popeyes. It was over 50$ for a family of 4 - goos size ckn sandwich but I was sooooo thirsty the whole night after. Staff was nice and area was very clean.
Chicken was dry. Must be re-heated. Does not worth the money.
Not only was the chicken dryer than the Sahara dessert, it s now $7.20 before tax for a large side that is LITTERALLY 5 tablespoons of mashed potatoes. Talk about shrinkflation AND inflation, don t waste your time or money. Just go to Mary Browns, Chick Fil A or KFC. A meal for 2 people just cost me $63, I ll go to a proper restaurant for that price.
Worry about customer service
I ordered a combo and asked for the cup so I could fill my drink while I wait and the tough guy behind the counter says youll get your cup when you get your food with his chest all puffed up lol. Manager was standing beside him apparently oblivious.
Vegetarian options: No vegetarian options unless its some of the side dishes Food
Very bad service and management
good food they must raise some good chickens at Popeye farms and the fries are good musr make some good potatoes to.
The customer service, with the exception of one girl, was horrendous! My pregnant sister had to use the washroom and they said no because of The COVID vaccine passport restrictions. However, on the government website (Ontario) that states the regulations, using the washroom is listed as an exemption for the rule. We have our first vaccine and are a week away from receiving our second. Two employees yelled at my PREGNANT sister and chased her screaming at her that they were not going to let her use the bathroom. What if an elderly person needs to use the bathroom will they chase them too? Everyone in the restaurant was shocked and they held up the whole line over it. And to top it off our food was horrible!! Disgusting chicken tenders and fries cold and old and gross. Do not recommend.
Gave wrong order
Asked for bone wings and gave me no bone. :(
Tasted like reused oil, not fresh food
I ate with my friends from this super bad place ... we all feel like sick and pain stomach after meal
The employees were extremely rude. They tried to persuade me to not order what i wanted because they closed in an hour and wanted to clean. Then proceeded to give me attitude when trying to order the rest of my order.
Recently renovated. The new owner was there on the cash. joking and greeting customers. Our favourite Popeyes to go. In Canada.
Dumped a 12 piece meal in the garbage last night. As soon as I opened the bag the foul smell was overwhelming. I dont know if the chicken or the oil were rancid, but Ill never eat here again. Do not recommend.
Lier is always lier. Don t worry this will be corrected
Best damn chicken, ever.
Shockingly plain and somewhat tasteless food. I heard people go there from different places to eat! And thats what they like?
STOP FRYING CHICKEN IN THE FISH FRYER!!
Boneless wings super yummy but even with the deal SO expensive! You get like 6 small wings for 9 dollars! But they re so crisp and the sauce is delicious. Maybe I ll just go broke.
I fond blood in my food and they were not expecting. Staff was very rude and unprofessional. They even dont know handle the situation.
I had to wait for a long time, She was just chatting with his colleagues the whole time. Very bad. and food was looking as cooked 2 hours before.
I love popeyes but I hate this location, the owner or the manager IDK he s the rudest person I ever seen in my life.
I wish they would be in Montreal. Love Popeyes. The food was excellent, fresh and tasted exactly as I remembered it. Great service and nice staff. Thank you!
Fast and good service. Food is good. Lots of choices
My favourite Popeyes in all of Ottawa. Great customer service and food!
Great restaurant, great food, great service.
They are taking way long for orders. Please make it faster. Need more help then you can hire people.
One of the best place fried chicken in canada. We drove more than 2 hours to go eat popeyes. Service is also good and the staff is always so polite.
I had a very disappointing experience at Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen today. The cashier, who appeared to be from a South Asian country, didnt even make eye contact with me. I had to wait for nearly 5 minutes, and it wasnt because he was busy with work. He was just chatting away with his colleagues the whole time. If he cant handle this job, he should step down from this position. Additionally, the fried chicken I bought was extremely foul-smelling, like it had been fried in old oil. How often do they change their oil? To make matters worse, he didnt even want to give me a receipt. If I hadnt insisted, I would have seen his colleague continuously fiddling with my receipt without any intention of giving it to me. This is very unprofessional. Overall, this was a terrible experience. That cashier was particularly frustrating.
Great chicken, clean place. Like every other Popeyes but be warned if you want signature beans and rice then do not go here. They do not sell it. Not even on the menu. Which seems really weird.
First time going.. we are visiting from out of town and here for an event, it was delicious, service was great, friendly staff, the owner gave us great recommendations. Would come back again next time im in town.
I have been going to this restaurant since it opened. Most of time when I go, there is no chicken pieces ready. I don t mind waiting as I know the chicken will be freshly made. Today, I ordered online (order #928) and arrived to a 10-15 minute wait for chicken pieces. After waiting for 10 minutes, a customer also with a chicken piece online order arrived (order #931 - I asked her!!!) was told 10 minute for her chicken pieces. She didn t have time to wait so she requested a refund. Rather than refund her money, they prepared her order ahead of mine thereby taking the pieces I had been waiting for. Clearly, not fair! I hope the manager reads this and addresses the issue.
I wish I could put 6 star review for the service!
One of the best Popeyes I ve had in Ottawa. Great service and workers and the food is even better!
Very clean. Great service fast and food is delicious.
I went to this store behavior of the old mans is too bad i dont know he is waiter or whom if he is manger it a joke to the popeyes franchise that poor fellow need to go school again to learn customer service and mangement skill totally d head
Manager has no customer service skills and is extremely disrespectful. Garbage all around. For your own sake, don t eat here.
This location is awesome! The times I went, I have never had any issues with my order, served quickly and fresh. Id like to point out how clean it is compared to other locations Ive been to
I ate here Monday and food was fine. Ate again today and food was contaminated and gave me diareha.
Best chicken recipe!
I order a 2 big box on Uber eats. One was perfectly fresh and other was totally stale. The onions rings was too hard. Unchewable. I always order from this location on uber eats. I am really disappointed.
Tasty , halal.
The characterless manager working there has no sense of humanity. He tries to take out his frustrations on people, the people who work there, and the delivery drivers. The restaurant officials who brought him there urgently need to take that immoral person out of there and do what he deserves.
The Hazeldine location have great staff, I showed up pretty late close to close. The chicken they had wasn t the freshest so they made me all Fresh spicy tenders. They went above and beyond to make sure my food was exceptional
DONT BE SO CHEAP WITH YOUR FRIES! SKIMPY. Food quality is good and food is somewhat fresh. Sometimes its dry, almost like its been sitting under a lamp or something. Most annoying thing is that theyre so cheap with their fries like how can you be so skimpy with the cheapest item on your menu, potato is not where you start to save money. I ordered 4pc combo, two sandwiches and blackened wings plus tenders with side of large fries. My combo literally had 12 pieces of fries. I was flabbergasted as soon as I got home and opened my order. Thank God I ordered side of fries even that was not enough. When a customer spends more than $60 dollars on an order make sure dont be so cheap. Not with fries atleast. Regular fries were less than small and large fries side was almost regular sized.... Im sure its not the staff, def a skimpy owner who tells them to put less. It was okay with being served with baby chicken sized pieces but this is whole new level of cheap.
Awsome chicken...fries are great and the rice and beans are tasty
Very bad. Food, service, everything... Food
Horrible horrible horrible. The food was filthy. It was over fried and tasted bitter. The service was slow and poor. Food : 1/5
Overfried oily goo. Slow and poor service. The tables were dirty and they dont give out tissues with the food unless asked. Food : 1/5
Quality is consistent. Quick service
Hello, I ordered 12 onion rings and unfortunately they were very bad and I wanted to return them, saying that they were not the same as what we always eat. They did not help at all. The taste was bitter and very oily. When we tried to eat them, the onions were separated from the sauce and could not be bitten into. In one word, it was disgusting. They all went to the trash. I hope you will take my complaint into consideration and do a better job and be more helpful to your customers.
We ordered chickens and it was smell bad. We told the employees about it and they said it was new. They are so unprofessional.
My gf and i dine in in this location coz we love popeyes. We have to say this is the worst popeyes in all ottawa. Rude staff, bad customer service. The place is just dead and misserable. Theres this indian old man and another indian woman manager/owner/supervisor that has 0 customer service skills, no hi hello greeting. Its such a shame for the franchise. We ordered fries and onion rings, the portion size is alot smaller than other location. This location is cheap af, super super cheap! Bad management and poor staffing!
Was very disappointed last two times ordering from uber. They only gave dark meat no option for while from uber and was super creasy. Very disappointing as every other time Popeyes was a 10 star from this location. To owners why did you get rid of allowing to buying white meat and you load the family meals all with dark meat that s so greasy and made us feel like puking from the crease and fat on the chicken.
Abbhorent service, decent food. Not worth the time. Go anywhere else.
Food was served hot and fresh Taste is very good, even the buns were hot. Sodas (orange and Diet Pepsi) were good as well Food : 5/5 |
love the food. but I find it odd to pay extra on my sandwich for Lettuce and tomato
Got a family meal and not one piece of white meat will not be going back
The food is amazing but our service was lacking. Our order was taken quickly by the manager, but we did not receive our food for quite a bit of time. Approx 10 people were served before us that ordered after we did. We only received our food after I questioned when we would receive it. This is the first time for extremely poor service, so I still gave it a fairly good rating.
I had 2 different orders each one with a drink and they refused me 2 trays that s absolutely ridiculous!!!!
First time back after a while. It took 20 minutes to receive my order, and when I got home, the order was wrong! Very disappointing. On the plus side the staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean.
If we could give this location a 0 we would. Terrible food, disappointing service and when called in the manager would not identify himself. Order was not correct. Picked up. Brought home and not accurate orser
Very friendly staff, clean environment and fresh food. Kid-friendliness: Kids meals Food : 5/5 |
I had a large order for chicken. Manager and the rest of the staff were really nice and patient with me. Even suggesting options of the combo to get more for my money. They were also quick to prepare the food and had a nice young man help me carry my order to the car (in winter). I was in and out of there! THANK YOU FOR GOING THE EXTRA MILE! Will only come to this branch whenever I visit Ottawa.
1st time but disappointed as not spicy at all, likely go to Mary Browns and compare. Second attempt, asked for spicy and it was good and service was excellent
Who doesnt like the taste of Popeyes chicken,,I get all breasts fries and biscuit.getting hungry just writing about it..lol
Nice location, super clean and organized and the people who run this place are tremendous. My food was very tasty and hot. Lots of dedication here . Will back.
Great food. Should have got the family pack as it was more food for less money than buying individual sandwich combos.
Busy place. Theres nothing to pick on.
The food was excellent, perfect cooked crispy chicken sandwich also their signature chicken was perfect. However, I wish Popeyes could train their employees again, their employees are lacking of customer service smile, which are every necessary for F&B field
Love this outlet. The staff is super friendly. Food is always served hot n fresh
I think even a star given to this restaurant is an insult to that star. It was as if they were standing there not to serve food but to be rude to customers. Im sure other branches are not like this. the cashier was so rude I thought it was a camera joke. I asked for a cupholder to carry my drink, they didnt give me it. Guess what? The cashier said that one drink no tray. I thought he was joking. Dishonest and rude cashiers. Absolutely horrible experience, please dont waste your money try somewhere else.
Staff are always lovely
Great chicken
It s located in a strip mall so no drive thru at this location. Definitely one of the better locations. Staff were friendly and prompt. Place was clean.
Just not a good chicken restaurant.
If you are fond of fry chicken and want to try in Kanata, Ottawa go for Popeyes. This is the best fried chicken chain I have been to, way better than KFC (Salty & Oily chicken). Also, there special deals are pretty good. We love there spicy fried chicken and spicy chicken sandwich both are our favorites. Also, the staff is amazing, I might have put the wrong survey code for the free chicken promo, but still the manager gave me an exemption & gave me that offer. Highly recommend
they always only have one cash open even when their line is to the door. Super annoying.
Chicken was juicy and crispy!
Spicy chicken wasnt spicy enough. Very mild.. Service was good and staff was courteous. Recommended dishes
Forgot my gravy and all the sauces. Didn t realize until I got home and I don t live close by. Really disappointing
Every time we have tried this location, the food has been fresh which is a rarity at fried chicken places.
First time at Popeyes and it was pretty good.
Buy 10 pieces of chicken wings and this is what it looks like! I don t even need to taste it to know how burn and dry these wings are! So disappointed! And look at the size of the wings?!?!! Please check your food quality before giving to your customer. Serving this is such disrespecting
I went out of my way to try this restaurant since all my friends were raving about it. I had great expectation. I went off peak hour. The chicken was warm and not very crispy. I was disappointed. Maybe I was unlucky.
They are very slow. They always make a long wait.
Really good chicken
Generally one of the better locations. Thursday is a pretty good day for affordable combo.
Popeyes hazeldean always makes my food to perfection and is always hot !
The first 4-6 months of this store being open, the food options were very limited. But since the change of management, it has been phenomenal! Ive been a long time customer of Popeyes, since Ive lived in Florida and I can say that its becoming better with each visit.
Amazing food. Very fresh and quick.
Parking: Best chicken in town Wooooo!!! (*Rick flair*) Recommended dishes
Food is good, staff is ok , the place is too small for an enjoyable dine in .
The service provided is terribly bad! They demonstrate a lack of respect towards customers, as well as their own employees. The supposed manager refused to provide me with a tray for my beverage, seemingly attempting to cut costs by denying trays for single drinks! McDonalds or Tim Hortons dont have such an issue. Additionally, they intentionally deactivated the push-button that enables wheelchair-bound individuals to open the door. I became aware of this when the manager, who I must emphasize is far from deserving of the title, yelled at me when I tried to use the push button while my hands were full of food and a drink. What kind of store would treat their customers like this? Yes, it is Popeyes!!! I dont write reviews very often. Think of my frustration to come here and write this review!
Don t try it, worst taste ever
Very bad stuff and bad quality I want to complain that the children is not cooked well, they said it is all cooked same way and we can not return or change. Not recommended at all.
Very good and fast service better than pfk..loll
I love Popeyes, but this store is the worst. The taste is bad and I got small pieces for family meals several times. The Woodroffe store is much better. Too bad I need to drive farther to get my loved Popeyes. Why they don t quality control? Update: I went there again and got chicken that smell stinky. I called the store and nobody answered the phone. Will never go back.
Quick efficient service
This location is taking a nose dive this is the last time I will order from here. Ordered dinner for family and our chicken was old and stale. I ordered around 8pm and had to throw everything out as it looked and tasted like chicken was from the day before. Very disappointing!!!
Super clean, friendly staff and great fresh food.
A lovely place near the house for the fried chicken cravings. We go there often, and enjoy the menu. My top picks are: Ghost pepper wings - 5/5, amazing flavor, love the spice in it and freshly fried. Always the highlight on my platter Signature chicken (spicy) - 3/5, not the best friend chicken I ve eaten but not bad either. I have tried a few times, and it feels like over fried every time and is way too oily.. the oil doesn t help with the appetite. Chicken tenders - 4/5, great for kids and the taste just right. Chicken burger / sandwich - 3/5, love the chicken in it but the bun isn t great. Overall a good experience, will surely return for the wings.
Wheelchair accessibility: Button never works. Food
Horrible!!! Horrible!!! Horrible!!! This is the 3rd time I have ordered from this store and they have given me these expired chicken as usual. I am sorry for being direct but any store where these Indians are running have lowered the standard to the ground. High time for Popeye to realize that they are losing their loyal customers.
First time eating at a Popeyes. Friendly staff, clean restaurant, food came out quickly. Very tasty! The pickles are really nice, too.
Chicken is good as always!
Bruh their chicken is old and dry. The chicken is on the shelf since before I walked in and after, the sandwich was cheap on sauce.The flavor isnt good, its not so fresh. The shrimps were funky and 60% batter by volume. Felt like I was eating deep fried batter with a shrimp tasting filling that wasnt appetizing at all. Quality is bad. The manager or boss isnt so nice to his employees it seems. Theyre cheap on condiments. I would not recommend this place to my enemy. Just go to Kentucky Fried Flightless-Birds, or better yet, go to Micky Dees. Spare yourselves.
I read other peoples comments and found out Im not the only one! If I could give 0 stars, I would!!! The manager is very rude. We would always ask for our food in to-go containers so we can take them home if we didnt finish them but would still eat in the store. One time, we were eating our food and we asked for extra napkin at the cash. The manager told us that if we are dining in, then we should not have asked for to-go containers! I was speechless but we just said okay and left. So many experience we had at this place other than that. I hope they do better because we love their chicken. For now, we are enjoying Mary Browns at Kanata Centrum. The staff are very nice and chill and they always have good promos going on. Highly recommend! Thank you!
Love the chicken. But when you request specific chicken pieces and even pay for it and dont get it; is pretty disappointing!
Thank for helping me with my request. Cooperative team
Pleasant and helpful employees. Hot tasty food. Thanks.
It was good i like the service they gave me it was excellent Food
Didnt like the chicken
The store manager displayed a severe lack of respect, remarking that my parents hadnt taught me proper manners simply because I had my leg up. He also showed a consistent pattern of disrespect towards his own employees.
A very good place to grab a chicken sandwich or super delicious fried chicken. The place is very clean, and there is a lot of seating inside. I love coming here with kids. Service is great.
The kanata store is the worst Ive been in. The owner asks if you want spicy or regular chicken. Doesnt matter he will give you spicy. Owners dont make that kind of mistake so after 3 times of him doing this he is obviously doing it on purpose. What do they make more money off of spicy chicken. The owner is a joke and shouldnt be in business. I live in carleton place and Im cant drive back. Makes no sense to waste 20 in gas to replace 30 chicken. The one time I had ok service wast when the owner didnt serve me.
I have tried many popeyes and to be honest this is the worst popeyes specially in terms of service.Staff is very rude . We bought drink with our food and we ask them to give cup for drinks because our food was still preparing but to my surprise the counter lady said , NO , we would give you the drink glass with food only not before. We went there for many times and each time they were out of stock for Onion rings . In terms of cleanliness they are also very poor, if some body left food at the table their staff dont bother to clean it because they think its duty of the next customer. Bathroom door lock is always out of order and one of the two bath rooms is always out of order . Only bath room working is the one for disabled persons . Never saw a smile on the face of counter boy or girl very poor attitude . They always charged extra for dipping sauces and one time even i pay for the dipping sauce they did not pack them in my order.
Love the spicy chicken !!!
Delicious chicken and many sides to choose from. Best large chain fried chicken to be had. Service was as expected, no issues.
Excellent chicken sandwich and Great Cajun fries
