Flounder fish sandwich season. Best fast food fish sandwich, this store stays busy, the staff works hard to keep the orders as fast as possible. I'd recommended this location.

Tried the new Rojo Chicken Sandwich, a collaboration with Hot Ones. It’s delicious, Smokey, spicy, and everything was fresh and crispy. The staff delivered it in the rain with a great attitude. I think they should be provided with some rain gear for days when it’s needed!

I decided to go by and try this Spicy Chicken that everyone is talking about from Popeyes. Now I love Chick-fil-A. Their food is always on point and the customer service is beyond awesome , but I have to say the service at Popeye's today was awesome and the chicken sandwich was delicious. I was a little skeptical about trying this chicken sandwich, But I have to say it is absolutely one of the best chicken sandwiches that I have had. It has spicy sauce on the bottom, pickles and one large piece of of the chicken on a bun that seems to be toasted or something. The chicken looks like a whole boneless chicken breast just fried to Perfection and just sitting on top of the it had a little touch of heat and a little spiciness. Delicious.
