13428742, true Posted by naame, Tue Mar-30-21 12:58 PM
popeyes really only good for the fries nowadays.
chic-fil-a still the best tho
America has imported more warlord theocracy from Afghanistan than it has exported democracy.
|
13428744, i agree, but the bar is low. popeyes is...not good. Posted by shygurl, Tue Mar-30-21 01:02 PM
I would readily put publix chicken over popeyes too.
|
13428745, only thing i like from popeyes is the spicy chicken sandwich Posted by mista k5, Tue Mar-30-21 01:05 PM
ive never liked their fried chicken or tenders. their sides dont do it for me either. the fries are okay but not great.

13428747, yes, this... Posted by Dstl1, Tue Mar-30-21 01:13 PM
I will rock a couple spicy chicken sammiches, from them...but, they're actual chicken is not that good. Not terrible...just not that good. If I really want some good chicken, I hit Gus's.

13428842, Hey, fam...you like it, I love it... Posted by Dstl1, Wed Mar-31-21 09:09 AM
we’ve had Popeyes in the Lou for a loooooooong time...I got love for them, but it’s just ok to me.
|
13428752, Can we just say Royal Farms is a perfected KFC? Posted by spenzalii, Tue Mar-30-21 01:31 PM
Like, both do the pressure cooker fried chicken, and RF beats the brakes off KFC (but really, not much won't beat KFC). But the two processes turn out quite different fried chicken, which is a different take.
All that said, I do like Pop's, but I've had way more consistent chicken at RF. Or maybe I can't admit you may be right. Carry on...
|
13428755, Royal Farms is bland. Just like KFC Posted by PimpTrickGangstaClik, Tue Mar-30-21 01:35 PM
Popeyes got that spice

13428827, I'm in this lane Posted by Cocobrotha2, Wed Mar-31-21 07:35 AM
Popeyes is the best fast food fried chicken I've had in the DC area and better than most restaurant fried chicken because it's consistently good.
Nothing more disappointing than restaurant fried chicken being bland or overcooked bc that money could've bought more better chicken from Popeyes instead.
|
13428775, nah.. but only because we dont have Royal Farms to compare it to Posted by legsdiamond, Tue Mar-30-21 03:28 PM
|
13428833, right must be a southern thing Posted by ThaTruth, Wed Mar-31-21 08:40 AM
|
13428869, It's out of Bmore and has only recently spread across the mid-atlantic Posted by Cocobrotha2, Wed Mar-31-21 11:02 AM
It's more like a WaWa than a fast food chain.
|
13428885, east coast chicken without mambo sauce? can't trust it Posted by ThaTruth, Wed Mar-31-21 01:43 PM
|
13428929, mambo sauce is more DC carryout specific, not quite east coast Posted by spenzalii, Wed Mar-31-21 08:47 PM
5 wings and fries, either with the sauce on the side or everything bathed in it. But that's another thread
|
13428873, I have to try it again.. Posted by jimi, Wed Mar-31-21 11:13 AM
since the last one, I haven't been craving it .. i haven't been craving for popeyes either and it could be that I'm over it..
I'll get chick fil a but that's more so because of the kids
but I'll try it out..
how's their GAS? nowadays it's probably all from the same source but I'm sure it's like WAWA
|
13428880, I work for a chain of gas stations Posted by Binlahab, Wed Mar-31-21 12:45 PM
It's all the same gas.
The regular unleaded you get at the so called "unbranded" mom n pop Joe Blow Gas type spot is the same unleaded you get at shell, exxon etc
No difference.
No difference in the premium and the mod grade is a mixture of the regular and the premium
Same terminal. Same pipelines. Same process.
People pay extra because it says exxon out front
|
13428882, thanks for verifying.. Posted by jimi, Wed Mar-31-21 01:03 PM
I figured as much..
|
13428883, To me, gas is gas. But is this article about additives bs? Posted by PimpTrickGangstaClik, Wed Mar-31-21 01:11 PM

13428910, I tried it at a RF in PG County, Maryland and lord was it salty Posted by Pamalama, Wed Mar-31-21 04:07 PM
I took 2 bites and couldn’t finish the rest. Felt my blood pressure going up with each bite. Maybe it was just that particular one, but I haven’t tried another location.
|
13428940, depends on the Popeyes location Posted by Amritsar, Thu Apr-01-21 07:05 AM
some popeyes are straight up run in to the ground via bad management
Its to the point where I won't eat at a Popeyes before reading their online reviews.
|
13428943, reading online reviews for a popeyes Posted by legsdiamond, Thu Apr-01-21 07:44 AM

13429263, basically lol... Posted by ThaTruth, Wed Apr-07-21 10:45 AM

13429244, There's always that tension of "When am I gonna get my food?" Posted by Cocobrotha2, Wed Apr-07-21 07:18 AM
I wasn't surprised someone got shot at one over their chicken sandwich because the combo of slow, lethargic service and hungry people leads to alot of people on edge.
You wanna see some aggressive line policing, go to a Popeyes. People barely give a damn at McDonalds because someone jumping the line is only costing you like 30 seconds. At Popeyes, that's another 10 minutes. IDC if that's your cousin in front of me, the line starts somewhere behind ME.
But it's a testament to their chicken that people are willing to put up with that.
|
13429261, nobody got shot "over a chicken sandwich" Posted by Damali, Wed Apr-07-21 10:33 AM
please don't spout that right wing, anti black bs
you actually included the real reason in your post:
"the combo of slow, lethargic service and hungry people leads to alot of people on edge."
that's the reason. not the sandwich itself

13429243, Popeyes in Louisiana (New Orleans) is a whole other monster. Posted by Cornbread, Wed Apr-07-21 06:12 AM
As someone who has lived in Baltimore and currently lives in New Orleans. Royal Farms is good but it is not in the same class as real Popeyes. I am sorry that people outside of Louisiana are getting substandard Popeyes. The Popeyes stores in New Orleans are great. If you don't like Popeyes at home, I would advise you to get some when you are in New Orleans and see how different it is. I don't know why it is substandard in other spots but it is great here.
I lived down the street from a Royal Farms and have eaten a lot of their chicken over the years. It is good but it is not touching real Popeyes.
|
13429257, interesting Posted by mista k5, Wed Apr-07-21 10:03 AM
i do figure a good part of why i dont like popeyes is because the ones here suck. havent tried it anywhere else. i dont know how long i need to be in new orleans to decide i want to eat popeyes instead of all the other options lol
|
13429265, also it seems like Popeye's in "hood" locations are better than those in... Posted by ThaTruth, Wed Apr-07-21 10:47 AM
more suburban areas.
|
13429266, i had a sneaky suspicion this was the case..thx for confirming Posted by Damali, Wed Apr-07-21 10:49 AM
i also suspect the further north you go, the worse popeyes is LOL
