I don't think I've ever been to Popeye's when I want it and not been satisfied with the food. Even though often the service is slow as shit, it's always so damn good when you get it it's hard to care.

Gonna just say Popeyes may just have the best fries in the fast food game. I had the for the first time a few weeks ago and I've craved them ever since.

I found their shrimp to be too salty for me, OP. At any rate, can't go wrong with a spicy chicken sandwich, Cajun rice and Cajun fries. Lawd what a quality meal

As much as I love Popeyes? The fries are rather... mediocre tbh.

I should give them another try to make sure but the batch I got was so tasty. I used to say checker's had the best but they've dipped in quality with all their food and it makes me sad.

I stand by my judgment until I go back

When Popeyes came to Costa Rica I have then in high regard since I always read how good they were...

Two years ago the closed shops and nobody noticed tbh. I blame the local management, but their food was nothing to brag about.

Funny enough Subway in Costa Rica is amazing, same as Quiznos, while in the USA my friends say those places are maybe ok at best.

Back before the pandemic sent everybody home, I got Popeyes once a week for lunch. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday they had a deal for a 2 piece combo for 5 bucks. Healthy? No. Delicious as hell? Yes. Maybe I'll order something tomorrow...

OP its pretty easy to fry your own chicken and when you do it right you are transported to a higher state of being.

Work on that next time instead of settling for Popeyes and show us the pictures when you perfect it.

The nearest location here in Oregon is three hours from me sadly. So only been there once, but holy shit after having nothing but kfc for 34 years it was so much better! Next time I'm in Salem I know we're I'm going for lunch lol.

I don't know wtf happepened with Checkers in the last few years. Used to love the chicken strip/fries combo, but the last 2-3 times I got it last year, they tasted like ass.

I swear I just saw a commercial about a new version of their famous chicken sandwich, but now I can't find anything about it online.

Popeyes is a little overrated really. Better fried chicken can be made or purchased with fresh sides that don't get scooped out of a tub they have been in for hours.

It's good occasionally if you don't have time and in a rush but to eat frequently or if you have other options then it's going to get a pass.

i got checker's last friday because it had been a while. the fries just were ok, a bit soggy which was odd, and the burger was just really flavorless and greasy. like i remember they used to season their burgers really well and it was my favorite, but now the only burger close to that is honestly mcdonald's quarter pounder patties.

Spicy Popeye's is best Popeye's. While I rock with KFC harder for that superior chicken skin, the overall package is so much better at Popeye's.

Popeyes is the best fried chicken fast food restaurant. Easily.

Love their tenders and sandwiches. Just recently tried their spicy sandwiches and they are very good.

I just wish I lived closer to one. Nearest one is about 15-20 minutes away. There aren't many in my area overall and it sucks. I'd rather have them over KFC, Canes, or Chick Fil A everyday.

Yeah same, and for some reason Canes is blowing up around here. Not a fan at all. Gimme some Popeyes already

I almost never eat fast food any more, but I tried the spicy chicken sandwich a few weeks ago and I have to admit...it was delicious. Not too greasy either.

Had Popeyes yesterday. Their Cajun Fries and Red Beans and Rice are the sides to get.

Popeye's food is so good they've convinced people that it's worth waiting 30 minutes minimum in a drive thru for a 60% chance of getting what they actually ordered

Canadian folks, have you all had a chance to try Popeyes' poutine?

Fries, curds, and their cajun gravy. It's fucking good. Wish the serving size was bigger.
