I like Church's because of their jalapeno bombers but we eat at Popeye's too.

I hope Popeye’s doesn’t change - it’s one of the better fast food places in our area.

Love that chicken at Popeye’s, eh.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

I hope they drop those awful commercials. And why aren't they being boycotted for being racist?

What would it take? For Popeye's to start selling watermelon slices?

Sheesh.

Saw a headline yesterday that said $18 billion (apparent typo). I thought that’s a lot for a chicken shack chain. But I do like their chicken.

Really? They don’t look like they’d be that good.

How do they compare to Chick Fil A?

[FlingWingFlyer]

I did find their “A Squished Fish Patty On A Bun” ad pretty funny.

Popeyes is good. Kind of like the extra crispy at KFC. Don’t care for their sides though.

I’m sure they’ll find a way to run it into the ground

"I used to work at the Pentagon, but now I get my chicken on..."

I’ll take CF’A. They’re clean, well run. The only Popeyes I’ve been to has not been.

[SoCal Pubbie]

That’s my worry. Burger King has been headed in the wrong direction like Harrison Ford landing after an all-night bender.

[dp0622]

ROFL!!!!

[Jamestown1630]

I’ve only had Chick Fil A once; there’s not one on my usual erranding routes. I’d say the chicken sandwiches are comparable, if a little different. I like Popeye’s because they do spicy fried chicken, and the sides are different from other places.

The fried seafood platter is good, too. It’s fast food, so there’s a lot of batter on very little shrimp; but for what it is, it’s good.

[Jamestown1630]

I’m surprised. Our Popeye’s is very clean and the service is great. They recently redecorated inside and out, and it’s very nice.

[Red Badger]

Ours sucks. They always get something wrong with our orders whether drive-thru or dine-in.................

[Jamestown1630]

Bad manager.

[Buffalo Head]

Great! So much better than KFC.

[Red Badger]

But she’s nearly 19!................

Olive inconsolable.
