They have so many options for food that are normally not available for people with allergies. I couldn't decide on one thing so I ordered several things. For starters, the chicken sandwich was huge. It was perfectly fried and very crispy. The bun held together and didn't fall apart. If you are gluten free, you know this is hard to find. I would say I only ate about 1/3 of the sandwich, it was so large. I also ordered the fried okra which were very crispy and the coating was light and flavorful. It's one on my favorite things to order here and a can't miss if you love fried okra. The next favorite was hush puppies. They reminded me of the hush puppies I used to eat growing up and have missed dearly. The prefect combination of sweet and crunchy. And i couldn't leave without trying the fried pickles. The owner, Lisa, and I were speaking about all the options and I told her how much I love having all these options. She included a small side of spicy pickles for me to try and they were even better than the regular. Not overly spicy and a great combination with breading and ranch dressing. I can't wait to return to try the fried jalapeños and the brisket. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. The prices are amazing. I ordered all of the food (6 different things) and a drink for $26. It was way more than I could eat but I wanted to try it all. The atmosphere is casual and the booths are cafeteria style for a very comfortable, southern experience.

The interior is super nice remodeled and very clean. At times the lines are long trying to order the food, but a little known fact you can try. You can immediately go to your table and order online and pay from your phone using the QR code card at your table and get your food sent directly to you. Who doesn't want to skip the hassle of standing in line especially with hungry kids during the peak busy hours. Try it next time, it's a game changer. This not to detract from the great staff. The staff is great. Always friendly and welcoming you in to the restaurant. The meal i tried this time is the roasted garlic and bacon pub burger with of course cheese curds. I also tried the new mac and cheese. The burger was legendary. The culinary creators are great at combining great ingredients together to create taste worthy dishes. The new limited time cheddar on cheddar mac and cheese definitely puts them on the playing field with this latest dish. Hopefully you have experienced greatness here, if not come by for an amazing meal.

Not the best. The…read moresandwich was hot but the fries weren't. For my first time at Popeyes, it was okay. I definitely fell into their desert scam. She asked "with that would like the ___ or ___ desert." Bring my first time I assumed it was included, when I got my receipt I was wrong to assume that. Haven't been inside but the parking lot needs work. Pot holes and overgrown grass.

When we first drove into the parking lot, there was a homeless man soliciting at the entrance…read more Then there were three more homeless people standing at the entrance of the restaurant, smoking cigarettes. One of whom did not have any shoes on. I wanted to leave, but my wife had her heart set for Popeyes. Once we completed our order on the app, the shoeless homeless woman entered the restaurant and was greeted by an employee. This employee obviously knew the woman and they began to socialize. His Popeye's t-shirt was very dirty, and he wore clothing that did not suit a restaurant environment and was not clean himself. Another employee stated that dirty employee was a cook/maintenance person. After socializing, the dirty employee went back into the kitchen without washing his hands. The bathroom did not appear to have been cleaned in a while. There were no paper towels. The door handles of the bathroom and restaurant were dirty. The table was not particularly clean. There were homeless people who were allowed to come and go in the dining area and the bathroom. Once we got our order, we immediately left. Upon exiting the restaurant I noticed a machette leaning against the trash bin. I went back into the restaurant and alerted the manager. She had an employee retrieve the machette. I also let her know about the dirty employee, and alerted her to the fact there were multiple homeless people in her parking lot. She did not seem surprised and did not seem to care. I further alerted another employee (Nathan) to the fact that there were additional homeless people hanging out in the dumpster shelter, and suggested they call Hickory Police to take care of the issue. Nathan actually seemed to care about the condition of the area. I expressed to the manager that I did not feel comfortable eating the chicken that we had purchased. She offered a replacement, but did not offer a refund. We chose to leave the location and expressed that we would not be returning to this location ever. At time we are reluctant to return to ANY Popeyes. We left the restaurant without eating our order. When we go home, we observed that the chicken appeared to be stale and overcooked. I had eaten worse and was very hungry, so I took a chance, and ate it. I pray I don't get ill.
