Haha, I can't believe someone said this area was sketchy. It's not. There's a golf course across the street, dude. In fact, this Popeyes is better than average. Generally, in a Popeyes, you sit around and watch while 4 or 5 employees stand in the back and do nothing while you wait ten minutes for your chicken. At this Popeyes, you sit around and watch 2 or 3 employees stand in the back and do nothing, and you only have to wait five minutes for your chicken. I'd call that progress, ladies and gentlemen. I can't give any Popeyes more than 3 stars because it is so goddamn expensive. If you can't track down a decent coupon, this place breaks the bank for fast food. The red beans and rice are to die for, but for 3.99? No thanks.

I called and asked if they were closed. The lady just said "Ten". I then asked what their hours were on the weekend. She responded with a dial tone. Best. Customer Service experience. Ever. Alas, it's friggin Popeyes. They have only have our low expectations to fulfill. As for the location. It's secluded, not "sketchy". This is Reston not Compton. All the malls are secluded because they were designed that way--so as not to be intrusive eye sores. Don't get cocky Popeyes. When I get a cravin' I know KFC has more seasonings and a spices.

Their chicken strips are the best fast food chicken you can get. But they're also WAY overpriced. Most places charge about a dollar a strip. It's about twice that at Popeyes. I never thought I'd complain about the price of fried chicken, but there you have it. But it is the best fried chicken option out there. I'd give them 4 stars, but I'm taking away one star for the price.

Every now and then, I have a craving for Popeyes. I was in the area and stopped in for a meal. I opted for the 3 piece "dinner" that came with 1 side and no drink. I added a small side and the bill came out to be over $8. And one of the pieces--a thigh--was about the size of the drumstick!

Went here a few weeks ago having a pregnancy craving for spicy chicken. They apparently said they don't make it anymore! What is up with that? Grrr...made for one grumpy pregnant woman.

They're a bit over priced on the chicken, but it's decent and there's one big plus. They have one of those new coke machines that has dozens of flavor combinations where you can add lime, lemon, vanilla, cherry, etc. to just about any soda type.

Did you know that the apple empenada's here at Popeyes are basically the same thing as the old school McDonalds apple pies? The ones that were deep fried and were totally completely awesome? The ones you can't get anymore at McDonalds? The only difference is the put some sugar and cinnamon on the empanadas which only makes it BETTER, You need to get your ass down here and get some of those apple pies right now!

I have eaten at many Popeyes locations in many areas, but this location remains one of my favorites.I am always greeted and my food is always made quickly, but fresh ! My one disappointment is there is not a drive-thru.It is pretty packed during weekdays lunch time, so be prepared to stand in line for a few minutes. I consider it worth the wait.

Been to several Popeyes and am so glad that this one is in my area. Service is always good and chicken is tasty. Seems they actually care about the job they do. Keep it up.

Over price shot one star out of the frame. for 2 person a few dollar less than $20, that pull you out, and go to Chilli near by. The best thing for this hole in the wall is super clean, even in the kitchen, you don't see white spot of flour on the work station, soda station no sticky syrup, love this. One more thing, Spicy chicken is the best in this area, more spice and juicy.

I walked here from my hotel and had the most amazing spicy chicken meal ever! It was soooo delicious. I don't even care for fried chicken that much and I ate it all. This place isn't sketchy at all. It's in the back of the sheraton and the westin and a business building...popeye's are known to be in sketchy neighborhoods. It has that "regular people" feel which I appreciate being a Baltimore girl which is why some ppl probably thought it was sketchy. I came here around lunch time and it was primarily blue collar patrons probably because there are not really any affordable options in reston. Service was lovely. A 3 piece with 2 sides and a biscuit with a coke cost me about $8.50 and my stomach was quite appreciative.

The place is very clean. I am super impressed with that. The guy at the counter is super courteous. I recommended coming here and I'll be back next time I'm around this way wanting some awesome chicken. I love their spicy everything. I wish they sold chicken livers tho :-(

I really appreciate the friendly staff who have been here for several years. My usual is the shrimp with their Cajun rice side. Most folks are here for the chicken and I always see regulars who must eat here weekly or even more often. The shrimp is almost always fresh cooked and tasty good,, never overly greasy.. The biscuit is also fresh. The cajun "dirty" rice is as good as ever. There is adjacent parking but no drive thru. If you are not a local, there is a SevenEleven ( 7-Eleven) convenience store just across the parking lot. Friendly service, outstanding cleanliness, and the best food that a fast food place can serve. ... Fast food just doesn't get any better, imo.

I ate here on a Sunday due to a bad shrimp dinner craving I'd been having. Shrimp dinners are usually on the pricier side and hard to find without going to a classy joint, and I just wanted a cheap, yummy fast shrimp dinner. Popeyes delievered on that front! It was good and hot and stayed hot a long time. They had strawberry soda, yummy! Biscuit was better than KFC.Cole slaw had relish in it I think, or some foreign thing I don't care for in slaw. the place was very clean, probably one of the cleaner restaurants I've visited in Reston. Just because someone said this area is sketchy at night, I am totally going there one night just to see what happens. This is not a very sketchy neighborhood.

When I was your age, Buy 11 Pieces Get 11 Pieces Free used to be 11.99... That's how long I've been loving Popeyes. That said, all Popeyes should get at least a 3 Star rating from me, but this place is sketch. The inside is big and clean, but the outside is the scary part. At night, this place is a prime spot for getting mugged. I'm pretty sure a robbery happened here within the past two months. The nearest lighting source is way too far away from the parking spots, and the brightest light source is the 7-Eleven across from it. But I still go here anyway because I love my ONION RINGS (tip: always ask them to fry them longer than usual) and my CAJUN TURKEY! But if I were you, I wouldn't come here at night alone...without a taser gun...and balls of steel.

I love fried chicken. I love it so much I can eat it almost every day. I've eaten at this Popeye's so many times because it's close to the office and so delicious. Walking in the front door isn't too pleasant because the dumpster and the oil/grease container is right there leaving a rank stench before you chow down but whatever, I'm a trooper. If I wanted to smell flowers, I'd go to the damn garden. I came to get my fried chicken on! The spicy chicken is where it's at. I'm usually lucky to get it fresh because it's usually so packed during lunch. Cajun rice is pretty $$$ too! Don't forget to ask for hot sauce :)

Chicken was cold. Same problem with the store on Centerville Rd. I went to both places back to back in search of acceptable chicken and didnt find it at either place. When I asked how long the chicken had been out, they said 15 minutes. There's no way that the center got as cold as it did in 15 minutes. The outside was acceptable and the center was room temperature. Disgusting. In contrast, we also ordered chicken nuggets which they had us wait 4 minutes for - they made them fresh so I know for a fact that my senses arent off. It seems to be their standard procedure to refry their regular chicken and let it sit under the heat lamp and serve it cold in the middle and hot on the outside.
