    Drive-thru was busy today so went inside and no one was inside. Got me 4 of them and ate 3 today. Happy belly.

    this is the truth. I had to throw out a large fry just the other day because I ate the sandwich first and by the time I got to the fries they were crap!

    is the breading on the Popeyes sandwich spiced or do they put some nasty sauce on it for the spice?

    Uh oh. We came close when it was introduced, with the brandishing of a weapon at a houston popeye's, but first man killed over this chicken sandwich already happened elsewhere:

    https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/05/us/popeyes-sandwich-stabbing/index.html


    Sauced. Little to no spice in the breading, like with CFA and wendy's. One of my priorities in a chicken sandwich, and why CFA's are still tops to me despite being edged out in bread and pickle quality by popeye's (and others). I think more than anything lots of ppl are most impressed at the sheer size of popeye's chicken vs. most competition. That and Their breading is course and crunchier too, if that does it for you.

    They're all super f'ing salty, cfa 1600mg, ~1400mg popeyes, ~1000mg wendys.

    Yeah me neither. I judge first bite to last- popeye's has a great first bite, less so last, when I feel exactly like I do after having their fried chicken. Not great.

    Mine too. And I agree aout efficiency, generally. JUst wish they'd go to numbers instead of just colors for dine in. When the dining room is packed, they are wandering around looking at a dozen different tables, wondering which yellow tower corresponds to the tray in hand. Still the most efficient and fast service model in the industry.

    Had it yesterday and was disappointed. Tasted like a crunchy fish filet from mcd. Not enough sauce. Felt sick and had the chills after eating it. 4/10 for me

    Chic-fil-a's spicy sandwich breading is spiced so it's spicy without any sauce. I'm not a sauce guy so no Popeyes spicy chicken sandwich for me.

    I will agree with most of the posters here saying Chick-Fil-A's consistency and convenience (fast drive-throughs) are all major advantages over Popeyes. Popeyes definitely has the price advantage, however.

    Yeah that's a must for me, spice in breading. Why cfa and Wendy's are my favorites. Just have to hold a lot of stuff from Wendy's order and request made to order.

    Man I went to order it and asked for no mayo and the person at the speaker said it would just be a regular sandwich then.

    Apparently you can order CFA "Well Done"...both the fries and the sandwich, and it makes a big difference. A lot crispier, allegedly. I've never tried it.

    Apparently "some" locations stopped. I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask.

    Had one for lunch, enjoyed it quite a bit. I don’t think it’s better than the chick-fil-a but I’d eat it again.

    On a side note, just park your car and go get it. Drive through was about 15 cars deep and it took me approximately 90 seconds to get one at the register.

    Not worth the hype but it was good. Better than CFA. BK has a good one. KFC has a good one. Id still rate Popeyes the best but its a ****ing chicken sandwich people. Stahp being sheep.

    That lady deserved the body slam.


    Too bad the guy let his emotions get the best of him and will likely go to prison, but she deserved it and it was glorious.

    Woman apparently threw out the N Word in a restaurant obviously full of black people. She deserved what she got.
