Man oh man do I love this place or what! I have been there four times in a month with my boyfriend while we did 100 dinners. It's a 100 for both of us.
And Pop eyes has been a fantastic choice. The pricing is reasonable and we get great value for money.
I have tried the chicken burger in mild. The chicken tenders in mild and the chicken pieces in mild and spicy. Everything was excellent.
The chicken is perfectly cooked. Juicy and best of all, not oily like some chicken places. And its consistently good. I haven't had a bad meal here(touch wood).
It is unfair to compare them to a traditional restaurant as they are a fast food joint. They are good at the fast food part.
I am going to have something from there every time I go to Sandton(and it's alot) Haha.
Ps the service is great. Just be nice to the person behind the till :)
I believe the low aggregate rating of Popeyes is because people draw comparisons to dining out restaurants, which is wrong. My rating is based on comparisons with other fast-food chains.
When compared to their competition (KFC) I'd say Popeyes has the edge. Perhaps Popeyes doesn't have that traditional KFC flavour that we are all used to but their chicken is better cooked than KFC, perfectly cooked actually, and is well drained so the oil lying on top of the skin is minimal.
No complaints here really - went to the branch at the food court in Sandton City. Lived up to the hype. A nice alternative the takeaways we use to. I must recommend the ranch sauce - totally delicious and just a change from the common choice across most takeaways. The food was good and fresh and the staff friendly.

A full rating, because though the lines were long and we were awaiting a fresh batch of chicken the server was very friendly, efficient and kept us informed. Those who placed orders were called aside and offered complimentary drinks. When the food arrived the chicken, tenders and burger were crisp on the outside and juicy on the insides. The sides, onion rings, coleslaw and biscuits were well prepared, fresh and tasty.
Current rating of 2.5 is unfair. Nice alternative to kfc and chicken licken - more or less on the same standard in terms of quality and value for money. The biscuit is surprisingly amazing on its own with a cold coke.
Was so happy to see Popeyes in SA ,it was a must stop for me whenever in transit at Hong Kong Airport.Its a refreshing change to KFC/Chicken Licken..Their Cajun fries are a delight !
My boyfriend is a huge fried chicken fan so I got a bunch of takeaways for him. He said it was his new favourite which is huge news since he's obsessed with another fried chicken joint. His advice though, is go for the chicken and not the 'sandwiches'. Their chips are super tasty 👌 The staff were also very friendly.
Good southern fried chicken! The chicken was fresh, crisp and not greasy. I loved the fries, they're dipped in a light batter and then fried - delish! The biscuit was flaky but dry, I recommend a dip to go with it. The pecan pie was buttery and packed with pecan nuts. If you like fried chicken, definitely pop in to Popeyes!
Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen! Wow, how foodies across Johannesburg could not wait until the grand opening to get a taste of what this new brand to South Africa had to offer, all we knew was that the first store would be in Sandton City, which meant it had to be good, but was it? Visiting this place 4 times in a row, I can confirm that YES, it was worth the queue! Crispy Spicy Chicken with their signature mash and gravy, and biscuit was so good that I had it 3 times. The staff were friendly and their pricing gives them an opening to place more stores throughout the country. I will definitely frequent this brand as long as the quality remains top notch. Welcome Popeyes, we hope you stay!
There was a long line, so the long wait was inevitable. After ordering, one of the crew noticed me waiting and hurried my order up, so that was nice. The chicken was juicy and flavorful, but i'm only giving a 3.5 rating because they forgot my biscuit.

4 star dining experience! If there's something that we look for as customers has to be a superior taste and a superb service quality. firstly, the chicken was so mouth watering unlike other resturants which kinda offers a slight dry chicken. I would recommend you buy a spicy chicken(hot) as it have appealed to me a lot unlike the normal one. Their fries were nice and their burger were tasty. I got my order so quick and that is what I expect from fast food restaurants who understand the need to feed empty stomuchs. I loved Popeyes Sandton.
I enjoyed the chicken this time around. Maybe because I said they must make it spicy. The lady who helped me was very nice forgot her name but wont forget her.
They have a wonderful seating area upstairs and there is a lift to take you up. It is halaal which accommodates for Muslim individuals. I had a sweet chilli chicken wrap and it was yummy. Would definitely eat there again.
This place is still new and very busy, had to stand in a queue for 15mins, but it was worth the wait, we took the mild chicken, it was not too hot and the chicken wasn't greasy at all
So happy to find a Halal (SANHA APPROVED) Popeyes here, expecially coming from America. Food was excellent and the staff is very friendly. Our food was cooked great and nothing was raw or undercooked. Will definitely visit again.
Bought this easily over 100 times. What a chow 👍
Great fries, although the chicken was a little dry...great service though..
Delicious food. Manages to stay pretty tasty even after a long ride and really kind people giving service. Plus you can get a decent filling for a very small price (less than a triple Chilli cheese burger on its own)
The chicken tenders are so delicious. I love the food here.
