Popeyes Newark Reviews
Always best food and good customer service
The manager, Kawsar at the 220 Springfield Ave location in Newark, N.J. wouldn’t allow me to redeem my validation code for the free 2 pieces of chicken and a biscuit. Even though I fulfilled my part by answering the survey and making an order in the past, with my receipt to prove it. He was rude and unprofessional to me. I’m a senior, and his actions are SHAMEFUL! SHAME ON HIM!!!!
Very nice workers the general manager remembered me from last time I came.
Good store quality, amazing working environment, the food is great and the workers are excellent
I love the food here it’s comes hot and always great service bathroom is also clean and I just wanna say they have the best biscuits
Their environment is great and very fast with the food and it’s hot and worth eating customer service is great as well definitely recommend
I love me some crunchy fried chicken especially the tots with Cajun boneless chicken. The chicken is very moist soon as you bite into the chicken it almost melt in your mouth. The cashier was very helpful and polite. It was crowded at all. Soon as I walk in my order was took. The food was made right away. The lobby need to be swept but they will always have my service.
Baby idk if yall was trying to stretch the red beans and rice out or what… I had 1 spork full…. Why was it sooooooooooo soupy? As if water was put in it!!!!! Baby the flavor was soooo light?!? …. I said no way I’m being extra!? I took another spork full.. nah I tossed it to the trash so fast yes I definitely was not feeling that taste…. I love Popeyes that red bean and rice never misses… but bout an hour ago it definitely missed!!! And my order was ready in like 30 seconds I had a smile on my face!!!!
Ordered sandwiches, get home and opened the buns to find one individual chicken nugget in between buns. I took the food back and they gave me my money back in shame. I will never go to this business again and I strongly advise you not to do so either. Dishonest business. Do not spend your money here, they will steal from you.
Omg I order from Uber Eats and I try to be nice but it’s like they can’t read ! Order all messed up not what i ordered , not to mention they never get it right , done ordering from here
I am born and raised from Newark NJ. This place lacks customer service. It’s not organized. I honestly go to the one in Harrison. I was ignored and the cashier took the next customer.
I orden 10 pc of chicken and 2 fríes and i only got 5 pc and 1 fríes and then i Call 3 times and nobody answer me
As soon as I walked in the guy was using the tongs to put strips in a box. One of the strips fell and he used the tongs to pick up the strip. He threw the strip away but the tongs touched the floor when he used them to pick up the strip. He continued to used them tongs to make the rest of the order. Things like make me not trust a food establishment. That’s a person that will forget to wash hands etc….. the small stuff matter….. he doing unsanitary things without even noticing…..
Undercooked chicken and staff gets the simplest orders wrong. One of the worst popeyes in the area. I won’t be going back.
Unfortunately, I did not have a good experience this day. This was my first time going to this location and my chicken was not cooked completely. It had blood coming from it, my biscuit was hard and dry, my Mac n cheese tasted watered down. The workers acted as though they really did not want to be there because asking them questions they looked at me like I was bothering him instead of just answering my questions. I was asking prices because I did not have my glasses on and one of the workers pointed to the board and I told him I could not see it. So he walked away and the lady that was working there was of no help either because she was too busy to help. The cashier was not that friendly. He didn't speak he just said what is your order. This location was not really kept up it was dirty on the floors and the tables. Unfortunately I cannot recommend this place and I don't have a desire to go back. I say go at your own risk. I hope every day is not like that.
The manager working on 1/16/2025 at approx. 8pm his attitude is disgusting, disgraceful and just sad!!! as a manager you are held at a high standard and as a customer if I came in respectfully and wanted a drink changed what is the problem? He says to me “I would have to throw this drink away and make a new” hence I ordered a chilled instead frozen as a confusing thinking it meant frozen and he refuse to change it, after a back and forth battle arguing that I worked in fast food for 3 yrs he finally gave in and made the drink. Worst experience ever! Very bad customer service and very rude and unprofessional.
