Today we traveled to see family in Ocala. We decided to stop here and grab some food. The person on the speaker sounded tired. I placed my order one meal at a time and waited for confirmation to proceed. We got our food at a reasonable time. It was 4 meals and two extra sides. We got to our destination and proceeded to prep our plates. They gave use one wrong meal. Ordered spicy sandwich and we got a classic with a cup of mayonnaise on it. The other spicy sandwich got a cup of sauce on it as well. 5 piece tender meal. Turned out to be a 3 piece nugget and 2 tenders. An order of 6 ghost pepper wings turn out to 3 plain wings and 3 lightly dusted wings. Now that I am on here I see why they have the reviews that they have. Very disappointed. read more

First of all, the attitude of the male employee was horrendous. After waiting for quite a while, I simply said hello, only to be told--very rudely--to 'be patient.' I also ordered wings and received them practically raw. On top of that, my chicken sandwich had so much mayo it felt like I ordered a mayo sandwich with a side of bread. Overall, a really disappointing experience.Do not recommend this location! read more

Got a 3 piece chicken meal with mashed potatoes and Mac n cheese with dr.pepper on 9/19/25 & as I ate the food I told myself it tasted a little off, I couldn't even finish the meal. (ate 1 piece of chicken and half of mashed potatoes) and was sick with a headache and stomach bug all the way until 9/22/25 .. it could have or haven't been the food but from what I have experienced in the past those were symptoms of food poisoning. Just be aware of ordering here. Place has open and closed before in the past. But I'll take it as a learning experience and just won't be going back. read more

Best chicken sandwich I have ever had in my life, mac and cheese is pretty good, sweet tea is okay. Came because McDonalds next door was too busy, and I am very glad that I made this decision. Worth every penny read more

I went to Popeyes in Belleview on July 18 @ 2056.I placed an order for a 10 piece family meal and I was told that this place was out of chicken, I never went to a Popeyes that didn't have any chicken!!! What kind of business are you guys running????!! read more

Been here multiple times, they operate at the speed of turtles They take an order, fix it and then take another read more

I have lived in this area for 6 months. Where we moved from we used to frequent Popeyes. This Popeyes we have been to 3 times. Never again will we eat here. The staff is rude, they seem to all have problem with customer service and their food is on a lower part of a 1 star meal. I went inside for the first time today and was completely grossed out after seeing how they prepared food. So much cross contamination going on it's ridiculous! The Manager was just as bad! Plus not one person had a hairnet on or gloves while touching food. I wouldn't give their food to a beggar on the street. Not to mention I ordered an 11 piece mixed mild with fries and coleslaw as sides. They gave me 4 breasts and 3 thighs and hard biscuits. The chicken had no flavor and was extremely greasy and rubbery. My garbage was to good for it. Eat at your own risk read more

Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen - See if you can see a hairnet. You can't see the broom and dust pan that person just threw on the floor in front of the food but it's there - Fast Food Near Me - Ocala, Florida

Love the chicken sandwich, hate the attitude from the teenage staff (fairly negative and unfriendly on 2 visits). Given the fact that it's way across town and this staff issue, they've probably seen the last of me (and my wife, who is far more forgiving than I am, agrees.) read more

2-20-2020 update Finally there shrimp in a box special is back for a limited time. Last years shrimp had a terrible batter that made the shrimp taste horrible. This year the shrimp are cooked perfectly & tastes great. The worst of the worst. Yes I like Popeye's but this location is the worst of the worst. Do yourself a favor & close this franchise. Multiple times I have given them s chance since opening 2-3 years ago, Gross, disgusting, eat elsew Do read more

On the road working and stopped here for some lunch. No shade to Popeyes (which I love) but the lady working the cash register was probably the worst form of customer service that I have ever experienced. The lady was a short African -American lady with two gold teeth in her mouth. From the time I greeted her all the way to receiving my order was very nasty and rude. I believe I was the first customer of the day as well. Really wish I had a body cam on so people could view and hear how nasty she was. My food was ok but she left a sour taste in my mouth for revisiting this particular location. Wouldn't want her working at my establishment. read more

This was the most hilarious and fun fast food stop I've had in years. As I walked in on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, I found a platinum Citibank card right outside the door on the ground. My lucky day! First class plane tickets? A new car? Free Popeyes for everyone in line? The possibilities were endless! I went up to the counter and said, "Hello, someone lost their credit card outside and I'm here to return it!" Everyone was excited! An employee immediately exclaimed, "How do you use someone else's credit card?" Another helpful person piped up "just swipe it!" We all laughed and an employee took the card for safe keeping... Then I met a wonderful well-dressed lady in line who had just come from church. She said "You are a good person for returning that card.." but I simply said "I want to go to the right side when St Peter asks me which way to go at the end!" She explained to me that she had just come from church and various people there were explaining what had happened to them regarding money. One lady had shared "I lost some money but later I found some money so I kept it!" The minister had apparently expressed that if you find money and turned it in, you will be rewarded 3X! Wow! 3X a platinum card might be amazing! I ordered some spicy chicken tenders and agreed. Turning in found money will yield greater rewards! The wonderful lady in line who was speaking to me said, "Maybe that lady who found some money shouldn't have talked about it! She found money and told the minister she kept it!" I said, well, perhaps she deserved it! We agreed that turning in found money was the right thing and life was good! Then, suddenly, a different lady came in wearing a KFC shirt and said... Hey, boy! Are you ready to go! Her son apparently worked at Popeyes and travel arrangements were needing to be made like right now! He said he was working another hour and she was good with this and agreed to wait with us! Family! The chaos increased when I asked about my order and nobody knew what had happened to it! I said, take any pieces of dark meat chicken and put them in a box with some Cajun fries and I will be happy! The amazing staff member put a few drumsticks in a box with some fries and said, here you go sir! Since I'd been waiting 30 minutes and enjoying the day and company, I happily took my meal to go... Life is good and Popeyes chicken is tasty even if nothing I actually ordered came with my meal! Do the right thing! read more

Happened to be back 4 years later. Didn't realize this was the same Popeyes. SLOWER THAN BEFORE. Haven't moved in the drive through line for 15 minutes. This is ridiculous. read more

The service literally sucks like there's no reason we should wait an hour every single time we order AHEAD. They're the slowest "fast food" we've ever been to -500/10 literally. but Popeyes food is too good read more

Don't go here. I have seventy letters to push per yelp, but don't go here sums it up.. read more

Store #12050. Ordered qty 3 #3 meals and qty 2 #1 meals. Was supposed to be chicken tenders. Teller repeated my selection to me and rang me up for $51.93. I did not get a receipt at that time. Receipt was given with food. When we got drinks, every single selection was out of syrup. We informed the girl behind the counter and got a rude response "well then I guess they're out". Refused to help fix the issue. Our food finally arrived and we left the store and immediately got back onto road. On the highway we discovered the wrong meals had been ordered. She had selected leg/thigh/wing classic instead of the tenders we asked for. And that she had confirmed verbally. In addition to being the wrong food, all of our chicken was greasy/soggy. We didn't have crunchy "fried" chicken. Frankly, I paid way too much money for lousy service and horrible food. Especially the state of the drinks and your employee response. read more

I highly recommend not going here. It took over 30 minutes for one blackened chicken sandwich. It wasn't until I started complaining somebody finally went over and made the sandwich read more

A group meeting is needed to make sure the order sent to the window is correct. Not fun when the only way to switch is to go back through the drive thru line read more

Sat in the drive-thru for 10 minutes and no one took my order. They were open. Wasn't busy at all. Only a few cars in the parking lot. Eventually just left... read more

This place has struggled since opening. They're always short-staffed and often unable to even take orders.

We were on our way home after a long tedious drive. We stopped at this Popeyes for a quick lunch. It was raining and we were road-weary. We ordered 2 classic chicken sandwiches (1 a combo) Tom's sandwich and very tasty fries were "Good". My order was incorrect: I got a 2 piece chicken meal with mashed potatoes. It was raining and I was too tired to deal with the situation so I just ate it but...Not happy read more

My experience was horrible and all because of one person. The GM Kacci she treated me horrible my cousin and I walked in to get a slushy and she had come in after us. She stopped at the register and looked at us and stood behind the register for minute like she was going to help us. Then walked to the back as we were placing our order. The employee also did not have her work shirt on right she had it unbuttoned in an a way that was very exposing to her chest making me and others uncomfortable. So we walked away after not getting Service for about 10 minutes when she was looking at us the whole time. We hated our experience and felt uncomfortable and don't want a run in with her again definitely going to a new establishment if shes there. In a separate incident she had taken an employee into the main lobby and proceeded to fire him in front of all the customers in the area. And said to him " its my job or urs and i need my job" after he had told her he did nothing of what she had said he did. read more

Unfortunately, I did not read the reviews before stopping here. I give 1 star because I have to and the customer service was decent. TJ took our order and she was polite and helpful. The 4 other missing stars are because the food is terrible and the restaurant is dirty. They did not have any chicken breasts for the chicken sandwiches or any chicken nuggets. We got the chicken tenders which were stale and chewy. Again, I prob should have known better because all their food was sitting under lights, even the fries. Fries were cold and stale. Bathroom needs to be cleaned. All the tables in the lobby were filthy while the employees talked and joked in the kitchen. The owner is losing money on this location, I guarantee. I wish people would take pride in their job. read more

Ordered a small side of mac and cheese. It tasted good but there was only a small scoop of mac and cheese--it filled half of the small container. Now that's a really small small! Plus, drive thru is REALLY SLOW! read more

It is a waste of time to go to this location. Seriously you waste your time sitting at the drive thru waiting for someone to take your order. First time we waited over 30 mins to have our order taken. We thought we would give it another try seeing how that was over a month ago but just turned out to be another mistake. I mean really if you want to make yourself feel stupid just go here be the idiot sitting there waiting so long to have your order taken because I've done it twice now. ‍ read more

How is it only 12:30pm on 2/16/23 and they are already sold out of shrimp tackle boxes??? Yea, I'm NEVER coming to this Popeyes again. No matter what time you come here, the line is ALWAYS backed up and they never have any food! read more

Waited 20 min for a chicken sandwich. They had none made and when they asked if they were being made the workers in the back just stood there lost. There was a line inside waiting. It was noon, the employees should be ready for lunch time. It's not rocket science. read more

I don't expect much from popeyes but tonight takes the cake. I waited in line for 30 minutes and when I got to the drive through window I had to repeat my order 5 times and even give them my phone since I ordered through the app and got a confirmation that my food is ready. I had to wait an additional 10 minutes the lady employee at the drive through window was so confused and could not find anyone's order. She did not know how to operate the POS and kept calling for help. When i finally got my order and went home I was so disappointed. All the chicken was dry and I could not eat it. I almost choked on the chicken being so dry. The biscuit was cook good on the edges but in the middle was doughy and chewy. It's sad to see what this place has become. I pass this restaurant daily and it keeps going under everytime I go there. I think this will be my last chance with this place. Burger King across the street or McDonald's next door is a okay alternative. read more

Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen - Dry chicken - Fast Food Near Me - Ocala, Florida

The popeye's location in Bellview, Ocala, Florida needs to be closed. Twice they have given out my order to someone else. This was the last straw. I am sick & tired of their horrible attitudes & terrible customer service. Screwing up everyone's orders all the time. Also, getting in touch with their customer service is the worst. They better return my money that I never received. read more

Couldn't give a lower rating or I would have. Four cars in the drive through and it took 25 minutes to place the order. Then waited another 20 minutes to get a spicey chicken sandwich. Dummy me! Arrived Sunday at 7 pm left at 7:50!!!!! read more

Great chicken sandwiches if you don't mind waiting over an hour!! Not sure why their service is always SLOW but it really IS especially at the drive through. OWNER: Look at the other hundreds of 1 star reviews for slow service!! Can't you get it through your thick skull that there is a problem here!! WTF!!??? read more

Never go to this restaurant you place your order wait in line for 20 30 minutes and when you get to the window they tell you that they ran out of your items and they can't cook any more they should just close down read more

Waited 30 minutes for my meal to then realize I was missing my apple pies. Employees just standing around clueless like deer in headlights. I will never come here again read more

I'm still in disgust of what happened to me here... I was in the mood for their classic chicken sandwich, so I came here and ordered the combo. I ordered drive-through and right before the cashier gave me my order, he looked in the bag for a while and seemed to be confused or in doubt about something, but gave me the bag anyway. I trusted that it was the correct order (my biggest mistake ever), then drove home expecting to enjoy a fresh chicken sandwich. When I got home to eat, I grabbed a couple of fries and was disappointed because they were cold, it felt like they were just sitting there for hours instead of waiting for just 5 minutes in my car. That was whatever, so then I took my chicken sandwich out of the bag and it looked so small in the wrapper, I was getting confused and suspicious. Then I was in pure disgust as I unwrapped the whole sandwich... THE CHICKEN SANDWICH WAS HALF EATEN. THIS POPEYES SERVED ME A HALF EATEN CHICKEN SANDWICH. I CAN'T MAKE THIS UP, I COULDN'T BELIEVE THIS IS WHAT THEY ACTUALLY GAVE TO ME AS A CUSTOMER. So then I immediately drove back to the restaurant and went inside asking to speak to their manager to tell them what happened. The female cashier that was there at the time (different person from who served me at drive-through) was just as shocked and disgusted as I was, and the manager was in disbelief and gave me a full refund. I just told them that I wanted my money back and they told me that they would make me my correct order still, but I was not in the mood to eat their chicken sandwich or ANY of the food served there. I told them that I'm not eating food from them again and I 100% do not trust this place. This was my first and last time coming to this location. Guys.... they served me a sandwich that was literally bitten out of multiple times by a complete stranger, it wasn't just a single bite. If I remember correctly, the cashier who gave me the food was named Will. What's even more suspicious is that Will wasn't there at the restaurant when I came back to complain about the already-eaten food he handed to me at the drive-through window, so I hope he got fired for not paying attention and doing his job correctly.. it's literally a health violation that could've been avoided if he just made sure that the food he gave me was fresh and uh, oh I don't know, NOT EATEN OUT OF ALREADY?!?!?! I'm thinking that the order was probably from another customer that returned their order to them after eating it, so that must already say something about this place and the food they serve there. Very careless employees and a gross experience is how I'll look at this place forever. read more

I like there chicken, but at this location it's not very good and not hot I asked for dark meat and got breast meat This is a poorly run Popeyes's read more

The only reason I gave this place one star is because I can't give it zero. The line in the drive-through doesn't move at all it's like they've got one person in there and that's it they're rude the food is thrown together they lock the dining room at 8 o'clock to keep people out it's like they're purposely trying to go out of business. A chain as large as this one you would think that they would have some kind of quality control it's like they don't give a damn whether you eat there or you don't and it reflects in their attitude. Plain and simple bad management. The people working there really act like they don't want to be there. it's really too bad because some Popeyes are very good and courteous but this one is horrible.!! read more

They never have food advertised on menus. Service is ridiculously slow while everyone hangs out and chats in kitchen. Their combo meals are not really combo meals they charge you extra on top of the combo price for a drink and side read more

This place is the worst !! ! We stopped in Saturday night around 6:30 and drive thru was wrapped around building, so we went in side. They had a long line of people waiting for their orders. We got in line and when they were finally able to take our order they were out of mac & cheese, slaw. Then we tried to pay It had to be exact or you weren't get any change. They were out of change !!! Then we went to go get our drinks while we waited for our order and the soda machine was messed up the coke, diet coke was flat !!! read more

After writing a less than stellar review (mostly regarding service) a few years ago, I said I'd never go into this local Popeyes again. Last week, with most fast food dining rooms closed, we decided to give them another try. Given that they were only open few months at the time of the first review, we figured, "WTH, why not". BIG MISTAKE. The staff makes it very obvious they DON'T want to be there; curt and no courtesy. 2nd mistake: we ordered to-go. The Chicken was horrible. Seemingly day-old; over-cooked in dirty oil and dry. The location, just off I-75 caters to, I believe travelers who want something other than Mc D's (right next-door gets **** from me. read more

We stopped to get our son a meal while on the road. I stood for several minutes without being acknowledged. The man taking orders took the woman's order in front of me, turned around and starred shooting the shit with co workers. My son's nuggets were cold and dry. 0/10 recommend read more

Terrible food, terrible service, called 800 number and told corporate Popeyes about my experience, they said would send me an email after phone call with the case number as I wanted my $19.85 back. No email came, called same corporate number 2 days later, they took my information again said a manager would call me , no call has ever come in . I tried calling the store but the phone number for it in google does not work it ends in 1800. The butterfly shrimp was under cooked,the spicy chicken I was given was mild , service was horrible, cashier was horrible, could care less, Popeyes corporate office could care less, so now I could care less , but I will tell everyone I know about this experience Receipt of disgusting meal... and what was worse , was the place was empty , only 3 guest besides me and my friend, the manager was a young kid , running around in the back like a chicken without a head , the trays where chicken is kept were empty , and the parking lot was empty. So I threw my food in the garbage and crossed the street to McDonald's and ate a nice meal... read more
