Although this Popeyes gave me orange soda instead of the sweet iced tea I ordered (and I had my lemon wedges at home waiting for them) for my 3Pc Signature Chicken Combo , I'm giving 5 stars to big up the macaroni and cheese that came with my meal (I know, they're a chain restaurant so this isn't revelatory news per se but it felt like a hallelujah moment for me--lol).
I have never tried Popeyes mac n cheese because over the years I've never been fond of their other sides---fries (I don't like coated fries), cole slaw, red beans n rice, dirty rice, string beans---because they've all been mediocre to me, especially compared to how delicious their chicken is. I've just dealt with them because of the chicken, but never really enjoyed them.
This time I paid the extra 50 cents to try the mac n cheese with no expectation. For one, I'm used to bad to mediocre mac n cheese from other fast food and soul food/bbq joints. Secondly, I just didn't want the other sides this time.
When I opened the container, the first thing I saw was real cheese on the top, so it wasn't your average Velveeta-looking mac n cheese. That piqued my interest. When I tasted it, I was very pleasantly surprised that it actually tasted good. Like actual baked mac n cheese with real cheese flavor and texture. I really liked it. I did add a little Goya Adobo seasoning and black pepper because I liked my mac n cheese seasoned, but I honestly would have been okay if it didn't have it. Now I finally have a Popeyes side I can enjoy with my chicken. After 30 years x-D.

My Cinnamon Apple Pie was missing and my chicken strips seemed as if they were fried twice hard with barely any meat.

The chicken was overcooked as was the Mac n cheese. Food was only ok but not as good as it was a few years ago. Chicken sandwich, which used to be tops in that category, is now a pass.

I don't know why, so the chicken pieces and French fries are very soft and have a heavy oily smell.
