Popeyes

Pros: Great chicken, sides, biscuits.
Cons: None come to mind.

Let’s face it. In today’s fast-paced world, fast food is almost a foregone conclusion. For the most part, I’m not a big fast food lover. I think I’m all burgered out, to be honest, and these days I would much rather sit down to a nice home-cooked meal ...

Pros: The polite counter person. The breast of chicken had meat on it.
Cons: Undercooked biscuits. 2 wings being counted as pieces of chicken. Tasteless corn.

This past month has been the busiest of my life. We took a neighbor to hospital for a 2/3 day surgery. It is almost a month, and he is still there, he is on a ventilator, has a feeding tube, and I am not sure whether he will make it. Therefore I have ...

Pros: Delicious
Cons: Unhealthy

As a self confessed health junkie, I usually stop at Popeye's once a week. My cholesterol is off the charts, but I'm sure the food from here is not affecting it. There must be heroin in their recipes, because I'll admit that I'm hopelessly ...

Pros: Big Fat Juicy Breasts and tasty side dishes.
Cons: This stuff could kill you if you eat it every day.

My son and his wife have been far too nice to me lately. They asked if I would stay at their house until it starts to warm-up a little. Here in Chicago it is -2 degrees outside, and without a car it is a real dog getting around. Just yesterday, I nearly ...

Pros:

Great flavor and consistency of the chicken and biscuits.

Cons:

There's but one on Long Island!

I made my first visit to Popeyes a couple of weeks ago when a rental truck we used for a gig broke down on I-95 in da Bronx. We were able to get to a side road and just across from the service station was Popeyes. After realizing we were going to have to ...

Pros: I Love me some beans 'n rice!
Cons: Sometimes really slow

Why am I writing a review of a place that has a ton of great reviews already? Because it is my ever-optimistic hope that corporate actually pays attention to these reviews. I've eaten at many Popeyes across the USA through the years, but I'm going...

Pros: Mmmmm, great taste!
Cons: It's greasy but all fried chicken is.

You've tried all the rest, KFC, Church's, Danny's or the local chicken place. But, if you have tried Popeyes, it's probably your one and only chicken establishment now. Why? It's all in the flavor! Popeyes The Popeyes ...

Pros: You are unlikely to get seriously ill from the chicken
Cons: They try to make you pay for condiments

I almost wanted to kick my own Ass when I realized that I had been writing lousy restaurant reviews on this site for comin’ up on 16 months, and I had totally forgotten to write about the lousy “restaurant” that I eat at more than any other:...

Pros: Unique, cajun-style chicken, very tasty side dishes, awesome fries
Cons: Guaranteed clogged arteries

You know when you are driving around, doing your daily chores, and suddenly you become really hungry? This was the scenario for my first trip to Popeye's last year. Not much of a fried chicken fan, I had previously passed this chain up...

Pros: Great Chicken, Red Beans and Rice, and THE BISCUITS!!!!!
Cons: Bathrooms need to be better tended

When I was a kid my family was big into KFC, but I never liked it. As a result, I avoided all fast food chicken as a grown-up. So when my boy friend (now husband of 13 years) said he wanted to stop at Popeye's, I kinda rolled my eyes, grit my teeth,...

Pros: The biscuits.
Cons: A health-unconscious menu with little variety.

One of the things I will always love about New York is the easy access to exotic food. I know this may sound like an odd way to start a review of Popeye's Fried Chicken, but exotic is in the eye of the beholder. A friend of mine, raised on authentic ...

Pros: Good specials, crawfish, tasty.
Cons: The nearest one is 20 min. away. Crawfish are not regular items.

Being from the South I have a deep seated affection for fried chicken. I was raised, of course on grandma's fried chicken and mashed 'taters and gravy for Sunday dinner. In later years we resorted to KFC from time to time so that she could have ...

Pros: Great chicken! Stunningly amazing biscuits! A hometown business with staying power!
Cons: Not particularly good French fries, and are dirtier than KFC more often than not.

Popeyes. K&B Drugstore. Maison Blanche. Time Saver. Four very different franchises with a common link: they were all born here in New Orleans. Unfortunately, three of those places are now defunct. Just never caught on with the rest of the country. ...

Pros: I learned a lesson
Cons: You name it...

Well, we took our first trip to the neighborhood Popeye's chicken joint. We were looking forward to trying the famous Popeye's chicken, and we figured they must be good, because everywhere you turn here in Florida, there is a Popeye's.

...

Pros: Good food, reasonable prices, friendly service
Cons: Have to wait for chicken to cook during really busy times

Popeye's used to be a place I avoided, because of the spicy food. I lived in Florida for 24 years, and even the mild chicken was too spicy for me. Church's was my chicken joint of choice, with KFC taking a close second place....
