I really enjoy Popeye's product. Pretty much everything that they make that I've tried is delicious. This Popeye's location is the only one that i know of that's closest to where i live which is in Palm Springs. For me, I consider Popeye's a real treat that I've grown to look forward to because i don't have it often; only once every couple of weeks and i don't mind making the trip all the way to Palm Desert to get it. The only issue that i have with this location is centered specifically around cleanliness. I have a pretty extensive background in food services and customer service so i understand it's importance. I'm the type of person that truly appreciates a very good dining experience and i usually show my gratitude not just by giving good tips, but also by making it known directly to the waiter and the owner of the establishment just how much i enjoyed my experience. What I've observed on a few occasions at this location is that the staff is NOT CONSCIENTIOUS about the condition of the dining area. The tables and seats are always dirty with food smudges and covered with debris. It's something that is EASILY CORRECTED if people understand it's importance and how it reflects on the overall image of the business and how it puts the customers mind at ease. I had to wipe my table off myself on more than one occasion and that is something that ought not be. On my last visit there not long ago, I had to go out to my car to actually get napkins because they were completely out of napkins. I used them to wipe off the table before i decided to take the order to go while my girlfriend and i were waiting. When i was at the counter placing my order I asked the person serving me to please give me a clean cloth so i could wipe the table off myself but she didn't give me one. Instead, she decided to come out herself and wipe a table or two, but that wasn't until about 15 minutes later. Aside from that, this is a nice place to eat.
