This is my go-to spot whenever I'm on the road between the Bay Area and LA. After 2 to 3 hours behind the wheel, you really need a reliable place to stretch your legs, refuel the car, and grab a hot meal. The Location: Perfectly situated at the Buttonwillow gas station hub. It is incredibly convenient for a quick transition from the highway to a comfortable seat. The facility is a great place to take a rest and make sure your "tummy is comfortable" before the next leg of the trip. The Food: The food is consistently good--hot, fresh, and exactly what you crave during a long drive. My only piece of advice is to double-check your bag before you pull away from the window or leave the counter. While the food is "yummy," they occasionally mix up the specifics. For example, if you prefer all dark meat, you might find a piece of white meat in there if you don't check. Also they just swapped the chicken piece even though you have taken your order to your table. They should not do it as they won't know what customer has done to the food. Overall: A nice, reliable place to have a meal and a necessary break during a long trip. I'll definitely be back on my next drive down south or North! read more

Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen - Fast Food Near Me - Buttonwillow, California

Coming back from Los Angeles and stopped here for lunch; what a disappointment it was. I ordered 3 pieces of Tenders, 6 pieces of boneless wings. Both of them were full of batter; there was a tiny bit of layer of what seem to be chicken. I paid a total of $16.08 for just fried buttermilk batter. Dont buy chicken tendera and boneless wings here! read more

For me, this Popeyes isn't about whether it's the best fried chicken out there -- it's about being in exactly the right place at the right time. Driving from San Francisco down to LA, the I-5 stretch is long, straight, and honestly pretty mind-numbing. By the time you reach Buttonwillow, you're tired and just looking for a quick reset. Pulling off the freeway and getting a box of hot fried chicken here genuinely feels like a revival moment. The food is classic Popeyes: salty, greasy, flavorful, and unapologetically indulgent. The crust is crispy, the chicken is hot and juicy. It's not fancy and it doesn't try to be -- but in the middle of a long road trip, this kind of unhealthy, punchy comfort food hits exactly the spot. Sometimes what you crave on the road isn't quality dining, but something bold enough to wake you back up. This isn't a place you'd go out of your way to visit. It's the kind of place that's perfect because it's there when you need it most. Pair it with an ice-cold Coke, sit down for a few minutes, then get back on the road feeling human again. The location is a huge plus -- easy parking, quick in and out, no detours or thinking required. It's clearly designed for travelers who just want to refuel and keep moving. If you're driving from SF to LA and stop in Buttonwillow to rest, this Popeyes is absolutely worth it. Maybe not the best fried chicken you'll ever have, but at that moment, it's exactly the right fried chicken. read more

Ordered box of chicken, fries and drink and it was $22. The best part of the meal was the Mountain Dew. Chicken was compatible to microwave dinner and the fries were cold. Last time I will ever try this brand. Taken back they survive with so many better chicken options read more

I ordered the 1/4lb popcorn shrimp and mixed among the shrimp was this, (picture attached) for 8.29 without tax and I am a fan of Popeyes who relapses every time I see a Popeyes yet I have to bear the burden of dried up grease balls; not happy at all.... Cedrick J Stone 6/05/25 @9:25pm read more

Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen - No Biscuit - Fast Food Near Me - Buttonwillow, California

I ordered thru app and mistakenly used this store for pick up. When I realized I called the store to cancel but they said they can't do it. So basically I paid but they get to keep the chicken. No one wanted to help me out to get my money back or even just a store credit so I could use it the next time I visit this area. Hopefully someone will see this and consider my request. read more

I love fried chicken. Especially if I'm traveling and I'm always in San Diego, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara or San Francisco. When I don't want to stop, I drive in to Popeyes. Crispy, hot, fresh chicken. This Popeyes is on my way out of town. The peeps are nice. Service is great and they try to combo everything for you so you get a deal. My favorite is their chicken tenders. Crispy, fits perfectly in their biscuit with lots of honey. Yummy. My husband loves the fried chicken. We typically get the 8-piece and he can pretty much polish that baby off by himself. Friday and Saturday nights are really busy, but worth the wait. Biscuits are a must! Take a trip and eat on the road. Both fun and yummy! read more

Idk what was in the air in Buttonwillow, but I'm so glad I stopped here instead of in n out on our drive back to socal. I was probably really hungry but the chicken was crispy, juicy and tasted great! Got the 4 piece chicken with all dark meat and spicy - no combo . I think they accidentally included a biscuit. My partner got the fish filet sandwich and was pleasantly surpassed how moist and flaky the fish was. Strawberry biscuit wasn't bad too but prob not worth the $2.19 Overall, happily walked out with no crumbs left and headed back down to socal! Thanks for making the long drive worth it! read more

Awesome customer service and help from Melanie. She helped me with giving me tips and options for food since I don't come often to Popeyes. Also did it with a great attitude and smile even if it was 10:45pm at night. Very clean store as well as a calm ambiance. read more

The other member of my party wanted to stop at a Popeyes of any sort, and this one fulfilled the requirement as far as he was concerned. We put in an online order. They said they didn't have one of the items on the app and allowed for a substitute. When I ate it, it felt a little off in my mouth, but I'm probably just not used to eating breaded chicken these days. It is attached to a gas station and another restaurant, allowing one to have more options if there is someone that wants to eat something else. read more

Easy 4 stars. I have not had any food issues here except they ran out of shrimp one time. Biscuits are always fresh in my bag! I use the app to order ahead of time and pick up when I make my pit stop. Friendly and fast service every time. read more

Huge thanks to Elizabeth Rodrigues at this Popeyes for her honesty and kindness. When I accidentally left two bags behind, with valuables like my wallet, sunglasses, camera, etc., Elizabeth kept them safe until I returned the next day. Even though I first called after 11PM that day when Popeyes was closed, Kelly from TA was able to walk right over and check because the two are side by side in one open area. Thanks to Elizabeth's integrity and care, I was able to get all my belongings back without a hitch. Popeyes is lucky to have such a trustworthy and dedicated team member. read more

Chicken flavour was very nice. I chose ghost pepper which wasn't too spicy, place was very quiet with little to no people. Service was great, speedy and simple. Would recommend as a snack read more

Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen - 12Pc Signature Chicken - Fast Food Near Me - Buttonwillow, California

Got here at 7:53pm and they decided to close down the store early. This is unprofessional and unacceptable

I ordered 12 wings. I didn't eat immediately but when I decided to there was only 10. Fortunately I was still in the parking lot. When I told them they gave me the two missing wings with an attitude. I haven't ate the food yet, but I just know if that were me the first thing I would've done was apologize and then fix the mistake. read more

TRAVELERS BEWARE! My family and I all got food poisoning after eating this chicken. We have been bathroom-bound for over 24 hours! I barely ate half of my spicy chicken sandwich because the texture was weird. My lemonade tasted off, so I tossed the entire cup. This location is disgusting! And because we were traveling, we had no way to inform them. read more

URGENT ALERT !!! ON-GOING FRAUD: FALSE ADVERTISEMENT at Popeye's Louisiana Kitchen Location: 27769 Lagoon Drive; Buttonwillow, CA, 93206. Happened on June 14, 2022 at 7:23 pm I'd advise people to avoid this Popeye's as to not suffer the same abuse I've endured. The sign clearly said 20 piece Tenders Only for $21.99 (See Photo 1) and the on-site manager (Rodrigo) acknowledged the mischarge for $34.99 (See Photo 2) but refused to honor the price and proceeded to rudely and aggressively replied,"It is what showed up in the computer!!! So that is what you have to pay for!!!! NEXT CUSTOMER". It was a blatant fraud and customer abuse witnessed by all in the store; indeed, I have been wronged and would hate for others to suffer the same fate. read more

Great stop during a SF-LA drive at about two hours from LA. The dining area and bathroom are soooo clean! The food is also pretty good - how can freshly fried chicken be bad? The cashiers are super friendly and helpful. The same building also houses Taco Bell and a gas station with coffee station. Starbucks is across the road and there is an Indian restaurant nearby. But again, the bathroom is well maintained and clean, which impresses me beyond anything else. read more

Stop by on my way going up north from LA. Super excited to finally be trying Popeyes. This location was super clean! And social distancing was respect. Citali sorry if I spelled your name wrong. My respect for her for not being shy to let the customer know he needed a mask. But she was so respectful and sweet about it. FOOD: Was super delicious. Way better than KFC. I order the spicy chicken sandwich meal, kids meal and biscuits. Food overall was 5/5. My son had a little of everything. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Marcos I believe was new; but they trained him well. I asked some questions and he knew the answers to them. Super friendly and polite. I like how when he didn't know an answer he went to as citali. Citali knows her menu. I don't like spicy food. And she told me she can just put a little on it. And it wouldn't be spicy spicy. Citali thank you so much for being so sweet. Idk if you are a manager but girl you get things done. From cashiering, to picking the food, acknowledged all the customers and being so sweet and friendly! And you are training Marcos really well. He's going to be great because you are training him. read more

Don't be thirsty here, they lack basics like water cups, you must ask for sauces and everything else, my food wasn't hot...sub par

Stopped for a rest stop and a quick meal. Restaurant is very clean and the staff is friendly. Right next to the Taco Bell in the TA gas station. Would come again!!! Five stars!!! read more

I've had Popeye's a few times before but all the breading put me off. So, I was excited to learn they now had an non-breaded blackened chicken sandwich! Gave it a try. It's a nice idea but OMG, the among of salt on this thing is hideous! It's barely edible! Why do they do that to a perfectly good piece of chicken? Until they change the recipe to resemble less of a salt lick, I'm done here. Tone down the salt, Popeye! read more

Customer service from a worker there name Jennifer is very BAD. I ordered what was on the video menu. She said I was wrong, so I showed it to her. She then got upset, and then said she couldn't do it. I said if it's up there that's what I want. She then stormed off to the back. I waited and a manager from the T A came. I explained it to him while she was standing there laughing. I also had to show him the video on the menu. This isn't the first time she has been Rude to me. The first time I just let It go. I kind of feel like the manager won't probably do anything about. I jusT feel that if there is proof of something why make a deal out of it. Just take care of it!!! JENNIFER AT POPEYES IN BUTTONWILLOW AT THE T A NEEDS TO NOT BE WORKING THE REGISTER DEALING WITH CUSTOMERS. SHE'S BAD FOR BUSINESS. I ALSO BELIEVE THE MANAGER TOOK LIGHT ABOUT THE SITUATION. read more

This is a go at your own risk type decision. My husband grabbed the chicken tender meal here. First impression was that the cashier hated his job and everyone. He definitely didn't want to be there at the very least. The food was ok, not the hottest and the biscuit was rather like a hockey puc. Overall it wasn't just awful but the employee could use some people skills and the food could have been a bit fresher. read more

Chicken freshly fried, soooooo goooood! The service is amazing! We ordered extra with phone and staff deliver food to our table, even with bbq and honey mustard sauce. read more

This Popeyes is consistently clean and the food is always good! I usually just get the spicy chicken sandwich and it fills me up! Great stop if on the road! Fairly clean restrooms. There are gas stations in the area that are cheaper than major towns but you must pay cash! Credit is where they get you! Also, there is a Tesla charging station across the street by Starbucks. read more

It's not cool to laugh at someone who is ordering. Rude as hell and they got my order wrong . I wanted drumsticks not tender

Too pricey !!!!!! Near my house in Ventura, ca, popeye sells 1 pc ckn for $2.49 and for 5 pcs I think $5 something. I asked the guy here how much for 1, he said $4 something, and deal for 6pcs is $14. Its crazy. One pc of ckn is $4 some change? Come on read more

To the lady taking orders at 4 p.m on Dec 1, I know you didn't wait for the classic and gave us spicy chicken to save whatever time or effort you could. Made it very difficult to feed our toddler on an already difficult long drive. You are horrible. read more

Chicken sandwich always a hit. Rice and beans strawberry biscuit and apple pie bussin. Every time tho. And they take ebt now.

Went at night with an hour left before closing I asked for tenders and manager said they only had 8 pieces left and it was too late to cook more and wouldn't make any more nuggets. While waiting we say him go to his car 2 times just to get stuff from there wasting time instead of helping the customers. Would not recommend read more

I love Popeyes. I don't live in this area but this is the 2nd time I pass by because I was on a trip. Food was ok, but the receptionist on both times were just rude, I don't know if she hates her job or it just like she hates everybody. Didn't decide to write the review on my first visit but this time I just want to share my thought on this. I know her name but don't want to put it here. Overall, bad experience. read more

We stopped here for a snack as unfortunately we were still full from Six Flags as there was a lot of junk food to eat. Anyways we decided to try the fried chicken sandwich everyone was raving about. The sandwich itself was very good and moist. I wish it had lettuce and tomato. I prefer the Jollibee chicken sandwich though because of the sauce and tomato. The place is inside a TA gas station and it does close late at 10pm. We got our sandwich quick like in 2 minutes. read more
