Popeye's Chicken & Biscuits

This Popeye's is the place to be when you're summoned to jury duty.  After a short and unsuccessful walk to find other options, my new jury duty buddy and I settled on some chicken.

It was my first time to a Popeye's and I was really excited to see that they offer different options for your side dish.  Mashed potatoes & gravy?  Mac and cheese?  Yes, please!

I can't think of a better place to share a meal with a complete stranger.  My chicken sandwich and mac & cheese were good.  A-OK!  I will definitely be back the next time I'm called to do my civic duty.  I think I'll have a biscuit next time.  Yummy...

Popeye's is a great franchise all on its own, so it automatically gets four stars in my book.

This location is conveniently located next to the Cook County criminal courthouse which is next to the giant prison.  I had the pleasure of visiting this location after being summoned for standby jury duty, and it really took the edge off of sitting around and reading for hours on end waiting to find out if you'll be asked to be a jury member.

I think it was just my luck that I hit this place as Popeye's started a new promotion, but they have a delicious cheap sandwich called the Delta Mini and it's a little sandwich with a chicken tender and some honey mustard sauce, I think.  I didn't get a chance to try their Chicken Biscuit, which I'm told is just a biscuit sliced in half with a chicken tender in the middle - but combining a delicious chicken tender with a delicious biscuit can't be anything but super-delicious!

Not that many specials, and the staff was a bit lacking in pep and cheeriness in general.  Perhaps they had just recently finished a large wave of jury folks less than an hour prior to my arrival and they were tired from the busy period.  All I know is that they were friendly enough to answer my questions, and the food was delicious, as always.

Not enough to pump this place up to five stars, but good enough to keep it at the four star rating for being a Popeye's and having delicious food in general.
