Just got back from Popeye's and I'm 3 bites into the spicy chicken sandwich. Best $4.28 I've spent in a long while.

When I was in college there was a Popeye's right across the street and two or three times a week I'd cross over there and order two loaded chicken wraps and a soda pop for lunch. I did not finish college.

The wraps are like my favorite thing, but it fucks up the process chain so long that it's almost better just to go "gimme a 3 piece tenders with a side of salad and a couple tortillas" whic I'm p sure is a thing they can ring up and it's faster lol

My local one kind of sucks, and is really bad at keeping chicken hot; maybe half the time the tenders are barely warm. Tonight they'd clearly fought back against this, resulting in overcooked, stringy chicken. Still an improvement.

We had wraps on the menu as a "local favorite" long after they were off the national menu for ages but post-sandwich they took them off and when I asked they said they don't have the tortillas anymore.

Month-old bump. Finally ate one of the chicken sandwiches. poo poo's good. Not "LOSE YER FUCKIN MIND" over, but I know why folks love it. On the other hand... the fries sucked, the biscuit sucked, they forgot my sauce, and the buffalo tendies were aight. Shoulda just stuck with the sammich. Real good app, though.

I just had my first spicy chicken sandwich. I got two spicy chicken sandwiches, one for me and one for my husband. I regret texting him that i got him one because gently caress I WANT TO EAT HIS.

Lee's Famous Chicken now has they own Spicy Chicken sandwich, it's not quite as good as the Popeye's but it was spicier.

5 piece tender combo. Cajun fries. blackened ranch and Mardi gras mustard. get that poo poo inside me PRONTO
|

God I love Popeyes. Their biscuits are perfect. Moving one state over into Officially The South I went from not growing up with Bojangles to my entire peer group being obsessed with it. They'd call it "Bo's" like it was some cool casual place to drop in at and that got right under my loving skin. Always got vetoed so eventually I just tried to steer us away from chicken

Just used the app to get a $6 3 tender combo. Was hella good.

I ordered Popeyes on GrubHub (5-piece tenders combo), and my god. The bag was literally dripping wet with soda when the delivery guy handed it to me. The biscuit was soaked through, the box that the tenders & fries came in was so soggy I couldn't hold it, and the only thing that saved the tenders (which were ice cold) is that most of them were curved in a way that didn't cause the Coke soup at the bottom of the box to touch them. I still had to microwave them though. Lesson learned.

I got Burger King through Grubhub and it was fine, probably because I didn't order a drink with it.

You might have just been unlucky, I order drinks in my food delivery pretty often (usually to get to the minimum free delivery) and haven't had problems with it.
|
|
|
|
While not for Popeyes, I feel like some items get lost when I order from doordash or grubhub. It just seems inevitable. Popcorn Chicken and Surf and Turf have appeared near my Popeyes and I'm wondering if it's just seasonal temporary items or whether these are more permanent items.

I've tried to order Popeye's delivery before but there's no way to add dipping sauce and gently caress THAT!

Yeah my Popeyes doesn't deliver Red Beans and Rice so they're dead to me as far as delivery.

shaking my head at so many goons swapping stories about their tendies Get the bone-in spicy, 4 piece so it works out to half an actual chicken. I used to do this when I worked near a Popeyes, I'd eat two pieces for lunch the day I ordered it and the other two cold the next day because Popeyes bone-in keeps disturbingly well in the fridge.

I wish so much that I could like bone-in chicken.

![]() We had Chick-a-dilly instead of Popeyes. They season the chicken real heavy. I swear drat chickadilly burns down from grease fires every other year, they need to stop lighting their ovens with old greasy wash rags or whatever stupid poo poo they do in there. ----------------

The "Our Choice" option that saves the customer 6 cents is kind of disturbing. I imagine you would just get two legs or two wings? A leg and a wing? 6 cents and you put the fate of your dinner into someone else's hands? Maybe it is for the regulars and they give them a breast and thigh or something.

tried their ghost pepper wings I'm not sure if they hosed up and just gave me their regular spicy wings or not but they were barely anything disappointed as a big ghost pepper fan ----------------

Has there ever been a truly spicy"ghost pepper" product from a national chain?
|

Absolutely not. For liability reasons alone there's no way in hell they could do that.

Got Popeyes for the first time in 3 years. Tender meal with beans and rice side. The beans and rice are still bizarrely out of place as a fast food side; not because they don't belong but because they are so good. No french fry, curly fry, onion ring, etc. can compare. It almost tastes like home cooked beans and rice, smoky and savory and salty just right. The tenders are inexplicably good, just as I remember. Strange whorls of breading/batter that curl far, far away from the tiny strip if chicken inside. They are fried HARD, but the breading is bone dry, not oily. Perfectly crunchy. I don't like Popeyes or KFC seasoning more than the other, but the texture of the breading puts it in a league above KFC tenders. The biscuits are kind of lovely, different but no worse than KFC. But you get to dip them in the leftover beans, which is much better than dipping them in KFC gravy or mac and cheese.
