I had no idea the Popeye's employees were taking so much abuse. At least half of the fights on YouTube are between employees and angry customers after they run out of sandwiches.

Tried the original and spicy. Both very good but Chick Fil A is still the best |

People must be crazy to be throwing around the N word at Popeye's.
Look what happened to this dude.

I tried the spicy. It was ok...I agree though. I prefer chick-fil-a’s spicy because of their sauce. Popeyes does make great spicy chicken though. I also love their Cajun rice. |

The sickest I've ever been in my entire life was later the same day I last ate chicken fingers from Popeye's (more like unwashed bathroom fingers). Nothing from there since then. Pretty sure I lost every drop of water in me. Puked more than I have in decades worth of time. Dunno if it was food poisoning, but I've never been that sick even w/ the flu. Now I have a reason to thank Popeye's. I won't get shanked or WWF'd in the parking lot now because I quite possibly got 02 Kobe'd in 2015. _________________ GOAT MAGIC REEL

havent tried it yet, will wait for the crowds to subside. As a bit of fast food snob Popeyes has been a guilty pleasure of mines but I hate that they peg themselves as a low class franchise that opens their restaurants in the seediest parts of town that are left unclean and poorly operated by unprofessional staff. _________________ (bleep) Kawhi |

Had 1 today. So filling. It's the only thing I ate today. Quality chicken, tasted good. But it wasn't spicy despite being called a spicy chicken sandwich. _________________ "Every hurt is a lesson, and every lesson makes you better” |

Yeah, what's going on there? It's uncanny...I went to a location in south OC today with the expectation that this time it would be better than the times I ate at one of the 323 locations. This was the worst one! I'm beginning to think that it's a corporate-required motif to have every tabletop greasy, filthy seats, trays and condiment empties on the floor, face tattoos and stretchmarks behind the counter. _________________ "All wars are civil wars, because all men are brothers."

It feels like the ones opened in recent years (around me) have been in a little better locations and the bathrooms are a little cleaner (speculating, I do not eat there). Maybe an effort to alter the image? I recall Kentucky Fried Chicken was really bad at one time in a similar manner (late 80's/early 90's), then rolled out the KFC branding and tried to improve their image. |

was driving by a local Popeye's today around 11:30 AM and there was only 2 cars in drive thru. I thought they may be out of Chicken Sandwiches again, but signs were everywhere claiming it was back. So I decided to give it a try. It was just good timing because within 2 minutes of me getting in line, at least 10 cars had lined up behind me.
Anyway, the sandwich was very good (I tried the classic). I would say it was as good as Chick-fil-A's or Zaxby's but not sure it was better. Also, it is setting a little heavy on the stomach....kind of have that feeling I just ate a spoon full of Crisco. For that reason alone, I doubt I will be going back for another anytime soon. |

They wanted to mask the word Fried, I assumed. _________________ GOAT MAGIC REEL

I only visit Popeye's in Vegas (the location off Blue Diamond), it's new and there's a drive thru. _________________ We back. |
