Popeyes - Priest River

This restaurant was extremely slow and had a lingering smell of stale beer, liquor, and freezer burn. While it has the potential to be a lively spot, it was empty and not somewhere I would want to spend time. The average cost per person is $1–10, the food quality is rated 1 out of 5, the service is rated 2 out of 5, and the atmosphere is also rated 2 out of 5.

I am conflicted about this restaurant because I have had both exceptional and poor experiences here. Last night, my friend and I visited and it was incredibly busy! Despite the crowd, we had a great time thanks to the bartender (a blond with glasses) who was very efficient. She managed the busy atmosphere like a pro and consistently made delicious cocktails. I have to give her credit for handling the chaos last night. I would like to give this restaurant 5 stars, but there have been times when a male bartender with a ponytail has provided subpar customer service and inconsistent cocktails. It has reached a point where we now only visit if the blond bartender is working.

I had the incredible opportunity to meet an Olympic athlete at this restaurant, and it was a life-changing experience. After that encounter, I made the decision to fully commit to my aspirations of becoming a skilled whiskey taster. Let me tell you, this place is truly motivating and has helped me stay focused on my goals. If you're looking to pursue your dreams, this is the place to be!

The restaurant was very busy, but the staff was quick, efficient, and friendly! The downtown area of Priest River is beautifully landscaped.

The music was lively and the service was excellent. The huckleberry lemonade was fantastic!
