Popeye's Gas & Grill

My brother Randy Dean Taylor owned this store since 1997, but he sold it last year, and it was by far the best place to go get seafood. He passed away on June 28th, 2022, this was a terrible day for me. He and I were really close, but I didn’t get to spend the time I wanted to, since I am a caregiver to our brother Allen, it was really hard for me to get to Selma, since I live in Evans, Ga, I miss my brother Randy very much, life isn’t the same anymore without him heard on earth, but I know he is dancing in the Sky.

Pleasant surprise there was gas here! Old school place, pleasant staff inside and outside. Young lady directing traffic to the pumps! Goes to show you my first reason was picking up Amazon package now I filled my tank and got 5 gallons for lawnmower.

Excellent service! Amazing Food!!

I've been doing business here for 15+ years and will continue to do so for that and more. This isn't just a gas station or a grill, this is THE gas and grill. It's family. Without it, this part of Selma NC would not be what it is today. The culture and history wouldn't be as rich and interesting without this cornerstone landmark. When you walk into Popeye's you are walking into a part of Southern Living at it's finest. The people are wonderful. The food is fantastic. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. You can't come to Selma and not stop by Popeye's on fish fry Friday to get a plate, best fish you ever ate. 5 stars? You bet!

Great "greasy spoon" style eatery and gas station with a mini general store. Well staffed and homey atmosphere.

Not anything you would expect from what appears to be a gas station and convenience store along a two lane highway just outside of Selma N.C. This place was recommended by a friend that knows how much I love seafood. I was not disappointed and they are just ten minutes or so from my house! The seafood was fresh and cooked perfectly (lightly fried the way I like it). The portions were larger than expected and prices very reasonable. The sides were excellent to include hush puppies that were sweet and light. The waitress and kitchen staff were friendly and everything appeared to be very clean and in order. The menu choices included catfish, oysters, shrimp, flounder, and more (all fresh). The other menu items were hotdogs, hamburgers, and your typical grill items. This place is old school and small but offers as much or more than larger restaurants. I was very impressed with the food, portions, and prices and would have paid more for the double combo of oysters and catfish I ordered. In addition the orders came out fast. This place appears to have a strong local following and for very good reason. I think other people should know about it! Call to check their hours as they are not always open in the evening but we dined on Friday where they close at 8:00PM.
