I like Popeyes because they never fail to organize my lovely poorly stated order into a better deal than I really deserve.

I tried it today, it's just kind of whatever. It's a fish sandwich I guess. Really needed some heat or something. Couldn't tell if the fillet was frozen or if they coat it in house. Wish I had got a spicy chicken but it was new so

Chocolate beignets still on point though.

A Little Known FACT: Burger King's Bacon King is superior to the Baconator.


I wish there was a way to see what specials Popeye's was running without having to go there... At least my local ones usually have some sort of special for by the piece orders (like 9-11 pieces for $13-16ish, no sides)...

But all the online stuff has is their online specials which are just insane. You get a free delivery offer, but don't have the same specials so have to pay more for the food...

9 to 11 pieces or 9/11 pieces? I hope its the latter because I really want to see what a fried chicken tribute looks like.

Two upright tenders. A sauce packet (probably Sweet Heat) slams into the tenders and ruptures open, spilling liquid fire all over the place. This is probably a slow motion shot.

Popeye's© Sweet Heat™ dipping sauce can't melt steel beams, but it's hot enough to tantalize your tastebuds.

Mention Our National Tragedy on any order in the first two weeks of September and receive up to 10 sauce packets of your choice! At no additional charge!

So from what I understand, The French Connection was about Gene Hackman trying to steal the secret of Popeyes' biscuits, right?

They'll call them "biscuits" to get media coverage about how they aren't a biscuit but are actually whatever Brits call them.

They tried to bone me on my order today... Ordered 2 spicy sandwiches, at the window they try to pawn off an extra drink & give me a bag with 1 sandwich... Like no, I don't want the drink and I ordered 2 sandwiches? So they give me the extra spicy... of course the 1st bag was the drat fish sandwich instead, which has no flavor... Also didn't give me the receipt so all I can't even really complain in a way they would give a poo poo.

Please report to the nearest Popeye's crisis center. You don't have to live with this alone.

Just moved to STL from OKC, and the difference in quality between the Popeyes in the two cities is staggering. I swear the chicken sandwich patties and biscuits both are 50% larger, and much tastier too. Probably down to the ones in OKC skimping on material costs, but I would expect things to be more standardized.

Only issue I've seen is that 4 of the 6 times in the past month I've tried to go to Popeyes, I get turned away because their "POS/Computer is down"

I tried to do the $6 three piece + side, biscuit, drink on the app today, applied the coupon, went to the drive thru, it was kitchen noises for like two minutes before I heard "ord chchchchhhchhc ever chchchchchhhchh dy" and tried to tell them I'd ordered on the app, then heard kitchen noises for two more minutes and "ord chchchchhhchhc ever chchchchchhhchh dy" again. By the third "ord chchchchhhchhc ever chchchchchhhchh dy" it was time to say "you know what, nevermind." I felt like an rear end in a top hat afterwards but for gently caress's sake have a god drat working speaker for your drive thru.

Must be something with your KFC because you can definitely order single and large tubs of Mac and cheese tubs a la carte on the website.

How recently did they get rid of it in the US? It's still here in Canada and it's my main side. I think I remember Anthony Bourdain saying Popeyes m+c was a guilty pleasure of his.

got to try the rippin' chicken big box today for lunch

disappointed

the chicken was like barely two tenders fused together

i used half a bbq with it, when i use like 3 for their tenders, thats how tiny is was

i knew something was up when they only gave me a single bbq instead of the normal 3

I never understood Rip'N Chicken. It seems much harder and more cumbersome to eat than regular tendies.

Did a lot of focus groups come back with "yes I would like my chicken to look more like a human hand"? I'm just wondering how you get from chicken breast to... That.
