I had a hand spun milkshake which was very tasty, it wasn't as thick as I would have liked, but the taste definitely made up for it. I also had Cajun fries which were absolutely delicious and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. My main was the chicken sandwich, it was definitely good tasting, however a bit on the dry side. When eating it I definitely thought something was missing, which was the risk I took when getting the normal version. I would recommend getting the deluxe edition with that salad and sauce on it, this makes it much more complete.
Having been to the branch in The Metro Centre, I was excited for the Rotherham branch to open.
Warm, friendly welcome from staff, letting us know that we could order via the digital kiosks or using the QR code at the tables.
Nice, bright decor, tables frequently being cleaned.
We opted for Spicy Chicken Tenders with Cajun Fries and a diet Dr Pepper.
It was very busy, nevertheless our food arrived in around 10 minutes from order.
The Tenders and fries were crispy and crunchy right to the end. The chicken was excellent quality breast meat.
Very tasty food and easily wipes the floor with KFC, so definitely worth paying that fraction more for.
My only gripe, which I'll put down to teething with it only just opening was attention to detail with the order. When it arrived at the table, our dips were missing, there were no straws or napkins for our drinks. It was awkward using the cup style lids on the drinks.
Great venue, easy to park. Will definitely return regularly.
So impressed! Service was quick, friendly staff, amazing chicken! We literally tried everything 😂
I’ll be honest i was gutted beans and rice wasn’t on the menu coz they were banging in NOLA and Cajun fries could have done with some more seasoning, apart from that I’m well chuffed.
First ever visit yesterday so didn’t know what to expect. Was massively impressed with the experience, as there were plenty of different ways to order, food was excellent, and the overall vibe was pleasant.
Ordering - you have 3 options to order at Popeye’s. 1) Go to the counter as usual. 2) Use the self-service point. 3) Order at table by scanning the QR code and ordering online. We did the latter, and it was a quick and simple process. You can even choose whether to collect from counter or have your food brought to you - great for those with access needs or busy wrangling kids!
The food itself is absolutely delicious! Forget the other big-name chicken place, Popeye’s has them beat hands down. The coating is like a light panko, rather than a greasy batter. This means it’s crispy, tasty, and less messy. The flavour itself is more like you remember Southern Fried tasting, but can’t seem to find anywhere now (except Popeye’s!)
The mash and gravy is perfectly portioned and totally mouth-watering! Comes in a sustainable card pot with sustainable wooden spoon, it might look small at first but there’s plenty. Would definitely recommend the chicken tenders, as you get plenty of chicken - we even had enough to make evening sandwiches later.
The only improvement I can suggest at the Rotherham branch is to install some sound-dampening panels, as the high pyramid ceiling creates an echo chamber, making it difficult for neurodivergent people.
I recently visited Popeyes and had the pleasure of trying their Spicy Deluxe Burger. Let me tell you, it was a mouthwatering experience!
First and foremost, the Spicy Deluxe Burger lived up to its name. The crispy chicken patty had the perfect level of heat, and the combination of spices gave it a kick that left my taste buds dancing. The burger was well-constructed with fresh lettuce, tomato, and a creamy mayo-based sauce that perfectly complemented the spice. The brioche bun was soft and slightly sweet, adding a delightful contrast to the heat of the chicken.
However, the only downside to this culinary adventure was the price. The Spicy Deluxe Burger, while undeniably delicious, was on the expensive side for a fast-food menu item. It's not something I would indulge in regularly due to the cost, but as an occasional treat, it's worth trying.
The service at Popeyes was quick and friendly, ensuring that my meal arrived hot and fresh. The ambiance of the restaurant was clean and welcoming, making for an enjoyable dining experience.
In conclusion, Popeyes' Spicy Deluxe Burger is a must-try for anyone who loves a bit of heat in their fast-food choices. While it may be on the expensive side, the taste and quality are undeniable. So, if you're willing to splurge a bit for a satisfying and spicy meal, give it a shot!
Absolutely blown away with food, service, cleanliness and staff. The food far exceeded our expectations and we have to give a special mention to Zainab who had a smile on her face the full 50 minutes or so we were there, and she never stopped lol. A credit to the company.
A little bit pricier than other fast food places, but definitely worth the extra couple of £'s .
Biscuits and gravy are out of this world..
Way better if you compare it to a Kentucky competitor. Very nice clean restaurant and fast service. Chicken has been fresh. Fried perfect- so crispy and tasty. I'm back defo to this place.
Has the deluxe spicy chicken sandwich meal, tasted lovely, chicken was lovely and crispy, thoroughly enjoyed. The fries were lovely too, but you dint get many in a standard meal.
We went through the drive thu because the queue was out the door. The service was great, the server at the window was super friendly when we collected our food. Half way home we noticed that the fries from one of the meals was missing so we went back. They quickly rectified the issue and compensated us with 2 fresh cartons of Cajun fries 👍🏼 The food was amazing! We had the delux chicken sandwich meals and they are hands down the best chicken burgers we’ve ever had! Highly recommended… We will be returning very soon! 🐓
Went for first time yesterday it was amazing a million miles better than KFC food was so nice hot which makes a change and chips were nice to service is very quick actually went back the day after as well it was that good
Have never tried a Popeyes before, so as we were travelling through the area, we thought we'd try the drive thru.
The staff were lovely, and the food was hot and served quickly.
The chicken was a bit disappointing, really nice textured coating but no flavour at all. I've never tried American biscuit and gravy either. So, I had to try as well. The 'biscuit' was really nice, but the gravy is so odd. I wouldn't have the gravy again.
The fries were really nice and the shakes were the best!
Hopefully, a Popeyes will open up near us, with a few little tweaks to the food I'd be a regular customer.
I liked the food. Would pick it over Mc Ds or KFC everytime and prices are about same (especially with cost of living prices).
Very clean and modern restaurant.
My kids were excited to try it and happy just to sit inside.
It was a lot quicker to go inside and eat opposed to using the drive thru.
No milkshakes available when i got here but looking forward to them.
Wouldnt say there is anything overly special about my meal with flavour but the burger was juicy and tasted better than a fillet burger at kfc.
Dont know why people are moaning about it not like Rotherham has many good food spots.
Think its what Rotherham needed. Worth trying anyways I think...
My son and I have been here a few times now and each time we love our experience. The Chicken beats KFC hands down and the Chucken Tenders beats McDonald's hands down too.
The refillable drinks are a nice touch.
10/10 from us 👍🏼👌🏼
First time at Popeyes and will definitely be back! Had the chicken sandwich meal and a shake and did not disappoint! Was extremely busy but all the staff were extremely prompt and friendly especially the manager Manny who gave me a free sundae!
Really nice and clean new restaurant, bright and welcoming, quick, attentive and friendly staff especially Sruthi who kindly brought our food to the table and offered additional dips etc. Enjoyed a delicious classic burger and Oreo Milkshake - would definitely recommend. Nothing was too much trouble ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
