It is a little whole in the wall. I have always wanted tho try their chicken. Orders are placed on a computer screen. They have a tv screen showing the status of orders. There are four chairs facing the window. Their rent must be peanuts given the size of the place. I had the Mac and cheese and a chicken sandwich. The spicy version. the Mac and cheese was creamy with lots of cheese. I wish the macaroni was cooked el dente. It was cooked to much so it was mushy. The sauce was included on the chicken burger. I wish it was on the side. The place was excessively hot. Open some windows for some circulation. The service was extremely slow, even though it was a Saturday. read more

Popeyes is a nationwide fast-food chain famous for its Louisiana-style fried chicken with Cajun seasonings, but my personal experience didn't quite live up to the hype. For me, the fried chicken has consistently been too greasy and heavy, feeling overly indulgent every time I eat it. I do agree that their sauces are a strong point, they have a wide variety, and the sauces like Blackened ranch are good. In the end, it can be a decent option in the area if you're really craving it, but due to how heavy it feels, it's never my first choice for fried chicken. read more

Finally, a Popeyes closer by! Plenty of onsite parking in the sizeable lot, right next to Bertucci's and a Starbucks. There is NO FRONT DESK for you to order. You order on a machine or prior hand via their app or website. That means if you prefer more thighs instead of wings (or anything like that) you're out of luck. You get what you get. Service is super slow here despite a ton of staff working here the couple of times I've went there. Definitely order ahead. However, the staff are friendly. The fried chicken is tasty, as are their wings. Meat is tender and the skin is crispy. Mac and cheese is good. Cajun fries were a miss for us as it was not crispy at all, so I'd skip it. I also tried their tenders (regular and spicy) and they were not good. Tasted dry and bland with no crisp. I'd skip those. read more

Great chicken sandwich on a soft brioche bun. Food was good. Service at the store is a little chaotic. It looks like a take-out only store. Lots of delivery app drivers up front waiting for their orders to be called. read more

I have been waiting not-so patiently for this location to open. Finally!....its open, hallelujah! This small location is located in Newton Corner in the Bertuccis parking lot. This is like a mini version of the other Popeyes I've been to. It's one small room with 3 ordering kiosks and a pickup window. There are no live human ordering registers, it's all done thru kiosk. There is seating for 3 against the front window and THE longest hallway, that I think? Leads to restrooms? I went in the late afternoon so it wasn't too busy but I can imagine it being super chaotic during lunch and dinner. I think the key is to order ahead! We didn't have to wait too long but you could tell they are still trying to find their stride. The gentleman expediting the food was doing a great job while doing a million things at once. Our chicken sandwiches were great! I love how it's so crunchy and not super greasy and has a nice little wrapper to keep your hands clean. The fries didn't stay crispy due to a long car ride but they still tasted great and love their ranch dressing! read more

The staff here moves like snails. I keep coming here because Popeye's food is amazing when it's done right, but somehow everything I get here tastes stale and takes 20 minutes longer than it should. They're doing the brand a major disservice here. read more

The wait time kept increasing and they never finished preparing the food! It was awful. We had to abandon our order late at night, and never received a refund. read more

No idea what's going on here. The whole setup is so painfully disorganized. It's basically take out... so it's hard to understand how they don't have a process optimized. This was my third... and FINAL... visit. Ordered way ahead in the app... at 5pm... asked to be ready for 6pm... arrived to have to hunt down someone to even tell me the order wasn't ready. Watching people come in and be confused. If your name was called before you got there... oh well... the order will pile up on a shelf behind the counter that you can't see. And there's no way to see without hoping someone comes to read the names again. Oh... and they'll get frustrated... because they have to keep calling out the names again and again. So finally 630pm rolled around and my order was ready. If you need to be on time to somewhere then don't order here ever. This happened all 3 times I've visited. It is a hot mess. Having so many locations, I'm amazed Popeyes doesn't have a smooth system. This can't be their first rodeo. I watched so many customers come in and out, unable to get their order or having to track down someone to see. To make matters worse the TV showing orders apparently wasn't accurate as the guy behind the counter announced multiple times. The food is just OK. It's fried chicken and sides and biscuits. Definitely not worth the hassle of the disorganized chaos. I've never seen an organization this lost in dealing with orders. It can't be this hard to make orders and efficiently get them passed out. read more

Great tasting chicken, although food took 45 minutes for our order and other people order, and the website when we clicked on "drinks" for a meal, it was glitching. The screen on their tv for orders, did not put "order ready," and our order and the other patrons(10+ people inside waiting for 45 minutes+), had our order number and name disappear on the "in progress" instead of the "order ready". Fucking terrible. read more

Ooh I was so excited to finally try out this Popeyes location, but was a bit disappointed because my order was missing items. I ordered a 5 piece chicken dinner for two combo, with 2 sides and 2 biscuits, and I only received 4 pieces of chicken and 1 biscuit. Besides feeling like I got ripped off, the food was pretty good. Still the best fried chicken chain around so it was still okay. The service was a bit slow- we ordered at 5:45 and ended up getting our food around 6:30. Honestly though the service won't deter me from getting my fried chicken cravings satisfied, so I didn't really mind waiting. Especially during lunch/dinner rush, I'd recommend placing an order online at home through the app, waiting a bit and then getting to the storer 30-40 mins after the estimated pick up time. 3 stars for now because the location is new and hopefully things won't be missing from orders as the folks working there get more experience. I'll definitely be back to try again. read more

Just opened this week (Dec 2024). Ordered online- 2 piece chicken and it comes with a yummy biscuit. You can order regular or spicy- white or dark meat. I prefer their batter over KFC- lighter and tasty spices. I walked by at 530pm and 2 customers were ordering. I placed an order a bit later and showed up at 630pm- 18 customers waiting for food. Have to give them a bit of grace- they just opened. Despite the wait, the staff was friendly and helpful- and clearly working hard as they open the new restaurant. Free parking- same lot as Bertucci's and Starbucks. Loved the chicken and biscuit. I hear their coleslaw is amazing but I didn't try it. Late night hours if you have a craving for fried chicken. read more

The service is incredibly slow and backed up, don't stop here unless you have 30 minutes to kill... it took 30 minutes to get our food...

horrible, went there 6/18/26 for a order i ordered prior & they wasn't opening the door had to get refund from app. don't recommend do better Popeyes!!! read more

It takes effort to get everything wrong. Ordered 2 piece, mild, white meat with coleslaw. Got 2 piece, dark meat, spicy. No slaw, soft drink. Was not overly busy but frustration in the air from everyone there. read more

I selected a time for my order to pick up and it's 30 minutes late with no end in sight. I hear people around me who when they finally get their food it's wrong. Utter incompetence and I'll never come here again. Edit: Got my order 45 minutes after when it was supposed to be ready. Well, some of my order. They made 3 different mistakes which is impressive because it contained just 5 things. Just about everyone else who was there in the restaurant waiting was also saying all their orders had mistakes, too. read more

Terrible service, long waits, always out of chicken and saying it's cooking. Waited for this location to open for a long time and not happy with how terrible it is operated. Can't believe it's that hard to find one good manager who can make this place run smoothly. read more

Service is garbage, you will be waiting here all day for your food, and thats IF it is correct. Wish I could get some of my bread back honestly. read more

I tried Popeyes for the first time ever just recently. I got the popcorn shrimp, which were really very bad. Tasted more like good fried pieces of batter could not taste any shrimp. I got the chicken wings. I would say they were OK. I would not get them again, and I got the chicken sandwich, which is pretty good but I didn't think it was amazing. Maybe a little better than McDonald's chicken sandwich and not quite as good as KFC's chicken sandwich no rush to go back. read more

I have been here 4 times and 3 of the 4 times they have gotten my order wrong by leaving something out. One time, it was a whole order of 6 piece chicken wings, another time it was biscuits. They took so long to get my order I couldn't be bothered to go back to get my missing items. read more

Very disorganized. And food took way too long to come out. The people waiting for food piled up inside already and food orders were not coming out. One guy has been waiting since we walked in and got his order after about 45 mins. read more

no service what so ever, not a present visit, see you standing right in front of the counter, of all the workers no one acknowledge a human being in front of them, read more

This location had a rough start when it just opened. Things have notably improved since then. I've ordered 3 times over the last month and had no issues whatsoever. A few things to consider: I always order online for pickup. And I order around lunchtime. Food is ready in about 15 minutes for me. Mind that it is not a sit-down place. Seems to be crowded with cranky delivery drivers. Other than that, all was good, and the chicken sandwich is the king! read more

Steer away from this branch unless you want to wait for an hour for your food. Staff has no sense of urgency and very disorganized.

This establishment charged me $50 for food but only gave me half of what I ordered in the bag. I tried to repeatedly called them back and nobody picked up, being that I live 20 minutes away. I wasn't going to drive all the way back, instead the next day I tried to contact corporate to try to get half a refund on my order since I did not get what I paid for, they denied half my refund and tried to give me points on my account stating they did not have a way to refund back to my card on file. What kind of a corporate company robs their customers like this! if you can't refund on the app you created then why allow clients to use it? I cannot tell you how unbelievably unprofessional this place is. this company has definitely lost my business no matter where I go. I will never eat a Popeyes. read more

The service at this location is terrible. Slow! Counter staff don't speak English!! Chicken was barely warm. I won't be coming back here!

wow. the is the absolute worst experience i have ever had at a popeyes. i had to go wait 45 minutes after my order said it was ready. i had a big order but they claimed that there wasn't enough chicken when i see them fulfil other chicken orders instead of mine. i try to be understanding but this is the second time this has happened. i will not be coming back to this location read more

may god punish the man who designed this Popeyes. I would give a zero star if I could, worst restaurant experience of my life, at least when I have gotten food poisoning in the past, I didnt have to wait an hour and a half for two sandwiches. The only interface with the staff is a small cabinet for take-out orders, which is completely unmanned, and only frequented by an employee every 5-10 minutes. After 45 minutes of waiting, I asked an employee about my order, who just repeated my name and laughed with the other workers, and I had to follow up again 20 minutes after before they actually started to make the order. 20-30 people had come in, ordered on a kiosk, and gotten their orders before they had started cooking mine, which was finally ready an hour and twenty-seven minutes late. The guy running the operation spent more time complaining about his long day at work, saying how he had been there since 9am and it was 6pm. Someone should get him a podcasting studio so he can get paid to share his courage. If he spent half this time asking customers which order they are waiting on, this place may have earned 2/5 stars. An insulting experience for costumers, I will be there celebrating when it is closed. read more

Service is so slow during rush hour. They have no semblance of an ordering system which doesnt make people wait 15 minutes for their food

Took an hour to get my order Vey unorganized and I saw a worker liking her finger to grab the paper that go in the boxes I will not go there again And on top of that not a word of English read more

you would not think different popeyes would be so different. This is basically a takeout popeyes not a restaurant. Didn't know that but so be it. Came in and ordered no chicken just sides with one person in front of me. 20 minutes later I was getting frustrated because I thought I would be in and out quickly but NO. Place is seemingly disorganized as a person who came in for an online order could not get the sauce for her chicken. She named 4 sauces and they were out of all them. Then she asked for Buffalo sauce and they had to go out back to them. 23 minutes later my order comes out and no salt or pepper. Oh well. read more

I was very happy when Popeye's opened in Newton 6 months ago, but I won't be going here anymore. I could deal with the ridiculously long waits and the misleading electronic board which implies that your order is ready when you walk in (although you'd think they would have worked this out by now). But recently the food has been terrible. On my last 3 or 4 visits, the chicken tenders and chicken breasts have been overcooked or undercooked to the point where we couldn't eat them. And twice they gave us the wrong dessert. I'm going to go back to the West Roxbury location and hope the service and quality hasn't changed. read more
