Low Risk NYC Grade: A

Popeyes has only two inspections on file, a thin record to work from. On Jun 9, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.

Performance has remained roughly level inspection to inspection, near three violations each time.

Across the inspection history, food contact surface not properly washed is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded one time.

That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Queens restaurants. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
