Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen - Boise

This has been a fairly regular stop for me , for fried chicken meals. It is a bit pricey compared to the competition but I think worth the price for an occasional visit. The food at this location has been consistently good. The service is better than what you'd find at many food purveyors of its kind.

We ordered the manager's special and found it to be a great deal. It included a mix of spicy and mild tender pieces, which were cooked perfectly—crispy on the outside yet moist and juicy inside. My son and I really enjoyed their mac and cheese; it had a crispy, golden top and a deliciously creamy interior, without the overly salty taste that many fast food places have. The fries were good, though not the best—I'll always say Five Guys has the best fries! Despite the size of our meal and the busy dinner time, they were quick in preparing our order. Overall, this place offers the best chicken fast food among all the options available.

This Popeyes earns an A+ for having an open dining room and a full five stars for its outstanding customer service. It’s refreshing to experience food service done right, with cheerful cashiers, quick service, and tasty meals. The food presentation is also quite impressive. I give it a perfect 10/10! Thank you, Popeyes team; I’ll definitely be returning!

The chicken products served here are heavily processed and deep-fried in vegetable oil. The chicken is so filled with whatever substances farms inject it with—whether that's growth hormones or something else—that it has a texture that’s almost, but not quite, like chicken. I used to work as a meat cutter on the Gulf Coast, and I've seen firsthand how chicken (and pork) has been genetically modified over the years to the point where it no longer resembles or tastes like the original product. This isn't a fault of Popeyes, of course. On a positive note, the red beans and rice here were quite authentic and not bad at all.
