I'd heard terrible things about this place being dirty, so it took a while to visit. After all, who wants to eat somewhere that would potentially make you sick. I parked a bit north of the store and as I started to walk, I noticed that the handicapped spots had a path between them, but no ramp, and it ended in a post anyway. The ramp was around the east side of the store, conveniently in the way of the El Rodeo traffic. Inside, things were fairly neat at the front counter and I was greeted immediately. Within a minute, someone helped me with my order. I had a coupon for the 2 strips snack with biscuit. That and a medium drink came to $5.54, which isn't bad. I filled my cup and waited, but it wasn't another minute, it seemed, that a tray with my food was in front of me. The staffer asked me if I wanted sauce and I didn't. (I'm still trying to figure out what bonsai sauce is. Bonsai, in Japanese, are those little trees you shape. I suspect that they meant BANZAI!!!, which is somewhat different.) He didn't ask if I wanted margarine or honey for the biscuit, and I didn't think to ask because I never get any at Popeyes. The chicken was saltier than an old sailor (and both of my adoptive parents were in the Navy, so I know). Wow! I think they must have changed their recipe or it's not prepackaged because it's never like that at the east side store. I suspect that my cholesterol is up 100 points. The biscuit was dry and really needed margarine but at that point, I decided to finish the chicken and forget about it. It could have been better, but maybe I just haven't been there for a while and that's how it's supposed to be. Surely, they wouldn't want you to use their free sauces, would they, or get many drink refills? I wish the best for them, but they really need to check their recipe, famous or not.
