They are going down. Their food dont taste good like it used to. It seems as they are using old grease to cook their chicken in. Popeyes used to be very finger licking good chicken. The price is very expensive alot of people cant afford it. I started buying it about a year ago as a treat to my kids and me but now it is really not worth me trying to buy at all.I really and truly would rather eat PUBLIX chicken. Popeyes has gone down and your staff they seem very unprofessional. I wish the corporate office would go and check out their stores they would be in for a shock I do believe. To all you all need to think twice about spending your money at Popeyes. Get your moneys worth,
