Everyone is social distancing, its very eerie. There's no eye contact, no verbal communication amongst customers. Everyone is just scattered thru the dining room, heads down waiting to be called. But in amongst this malaise there's a young lady, she's gracious, attentive and friendly. She's taking orders and packing them and calling names. The rest of the staff is overwhelmed and have there heads down working hard. It's obvious their understaffed. Their out of beans and rice and the next two burly truck drivers are obviously disappointed with the news yet she charms them and gets the substitute, apologizing and they are chuckling as they leave. The line never shortens and as each customer is dealt with she takes care of them. Their running out of things. People are waiting longer than normal (not terribly). And she's just handling it all. His foods taking to long "Would you like a drink while you wait?" He says yes and smiles. Oops their now out of biscuits. Would you like a apple pie...? Another satisfied customer. A gentleman seems a tad confused but she knows him and knows what he wants. It's actually very engrossing to watch her bob and weave through everything coming her way. She deserves some recognition if anyone from Popeyes reads this. And so does the rest of the team, especially the manager for keeping everything going through a difficult patch. This is why I drive all the way from Flagstaff for my families Popeyes fix. Quit awhile ago: I've eaten at Popeyes since the mid 70s (ouch) from the East coast across the Deep South to the West coast and it's been a real mixed experience. But I've always kept them in my loop because when it's good it's my favor style of fried chicken. This truck stop Popeyes is by far my FAVORITE of all those I've visited. I stopped for gas on my way home and had a good experience. I purposely stopped a year later and wasn't disappointed. This last visit was absolutely the best EVER. Welcoming, warm friendly and accommodating staff, CLEAN restaurant, hot, fresh spicy chicken and all the sides tasted great. I sat down and ate and watched. I've had 35 years in the restaurant business and what I saw from customer to customer is the holy grail of food service. Everyone was treated with courtesy and respect. Questions were answered, guidance give, smiles offered. Come on, it's just fast food chicken! Well maybe it is. But when you're on the road and have little or NO expectation other than just OK. This place left me satisfied and smiling.

We arrived around 1:30 on Memorial Day, and there was a sign on the door that food would arrive 20-30 minutes after ordering. That should have been our clue to look elsewhere. Though we were seated right away, it took awhile to even order our food. I didn't time how long it took to make our food, but it was probably in the estimated range. We ordered the corn appetizer hoping they could deliver that before the entrees, but no luck. The sandwiches and fries were ok, but nothing special. The dip was a little runny and the chips were kind of stale. And they serve Pepsi products so we got water. The place was decorated with a bunch of American items. Not sure if that's a regular thing or if it was for the holiday.
