Had the popeye's sandwich today. It was a really good fast food sandwich, still not as good as chick fil a though. ALSO, I waited in the drive through for 25 minutes and there wasn't a huge line, only two cars in front of me when I got there. Chick fil a always gets me through the line in 10 mins max, even the line is so backed up it's spilling into the street. ALSO, they gave me the wrong sandwich (reg instead of spicy), and the wrong side. The order was literally only two items and they got both wrong. I've been to popeye's probably 10 times or less, and I'd guess they have gotten my order wrong at least 8 of those times. Chick fil a never fucks it up.
This will be the last popeye's sandwich I ever eat.
Literally had the exact same experience this weekend, and will never go back to Popeyes. The sandwich was very good, not quite as good as Chick fil a (though because I eat CFA so often it was a welcome change).... that said, customer service and time wasted was an absolute disgrace - I don't wait half an hour for real food, I'm not sitting in fucking line at stop 6 ghetto ass popeyes for a fucking sandwich. The end

Hype has a way of ruining things that would otherwise have been good. I have no doubt the popeyes chicken sandwich is good, in fast food terms. But there is a direct correlation between what you're willing to endure for what you actually get. Waiting an extra 5 minutes for that sandwich would probably be no big deal, waiting a half hour for it is a no go. There is a Mexican restaurant near me called Sayulita that everyone raves about. It's high end and one of their big draws is their tacos. Me and the gf decided to go there for lunch on Sunday, they open at 1 so we decided to meet there at 1. There was a huge line and they did not open the doors until exactly 1pm.
Surprisingly there was enough seating for everyone who was in the line, so I was happy off the bat, we ordered a couple of cocktails, looked at the menu then ordered. The cocktails were, admittedly, great. I got one of the best old fashioned's I've had outside of old school bars with real bartenders in places like NYC. The tacos were good too, but here's the problem. They were between 5 and 7 dollars EACH. For a taco. That's what hype and scarcity does to pricing and the customer experience. While they were good I've had better tacos from street vendors in Arizona and Southern California that were only 50 cents each for the same quality, and quantity of filling. But I happen to live in CT, where you can't get a real, good Mexican taco anywhere. To be fair they had what would qualify as real Mexican tacos. I got a beef cheek taco, a chicharron taco, and a very good al pastor taco. But it cost me almost 20 goddamn dollars for 3 regular sized tacos. Shiiieeeeeettt....

Popeyes does have an app and with coupons. The coupons aren't amazing, but you can get like a 14 pc. dinner for like 23 bucks instead of 30 off the menu. Also stuff like free large sides with orders and some 3 pc meal stuff.

I stopped in a Popeye's in Pittsburg, CA that had mediocre food and had awful service. Pretty disappointing since I'd just been telling my Dad how much better Popeye's was over KFC. He was not impressed. My local Popeye's is amazing with great service so I guess I'm just spoiled.
A little Popeye's history since this thread is stuck on Popeye mania.

KFC Chicken sandwiches...
I had to try them for the 2 for $6 deal.
As you know, I am a fan of the Popeye's chicken sandwich. The KFC chicken sandwich is so clearly a direct challenge to Popeyes.
Here is the picture from the website:
This is the sandwich I got:
It's a greasy, salty, pathetic MESS of a sandwich.
KFC sucks ass.

That picture looks 80% like the other picture? I don't get it. Maybe you ladies are looking for the how to cook your own farts thread in the adulting forum.
Also got $7 worth of Rally's today. So worth. I'll probably get hepatitis (a literal thing that happens from Rallys) but goddamn if they don't have some good 2fer deals.

I know I'm really late to the party but I finally got to a town with a Popeye's and tried the sandwich and I thought it was fantastic. No lines either since this is Montana and there's only white people here. All chicken sandwiches should have pickles on them.

Fuck KFC and all those other overpriced chicken places.
Best chicken, at least around my parts, is believe it or not Kroger. Tastes better and better breading than any of those places plus its only like $7 for 8 piece. So for $14 youre taking home 2 fucking chickens. Also they have the best tenders ever. Each one is like 1/2 chicken breast all white meat battered and breaded to perfection. Battered and made fresh, not frozen pre fried shit. Only bad thing is they dont have any spicy chicken, but whatevs. Even if they dotn have any available, I ask them to throw some down for me and I come back when my shopping trip is over and its ready for me hot and fresh.
