August 24, 20196 yr OK, it's pretty good and better than Chick-fil-A, but damn when are the lines going to die down? They're out the door at the two in my area every time I drive by.
August 24, 20196 yr Nope. Ben White and Manchaca. A couple more too. Edited August 24, 20196 yr by 4th&Five
August 24, 20196 yr All Popeyes in Austin are east of 35....weird There’s one off 290 around Manchaca Rd.
August 24, 20196 yr There is always a line because their customer service is nonexistent and they are slow as shit. That being said, one day I will accept the beat down and go try the sammich, but I’m sure they will have run out.

August 24, 20196 yr Our mass produced fried chicken boneless breast on a bun with two pickles is better than your mass produced fried chicken boneless breast on a bun with two pickles.
August 24, 20196 yr Popeyes near me runs out of spicy by 6:30, stone cold lock, every day. Not going to ask for the sandwich because it most likely isnt there and if it is, they most likely going to fuck it up. I feel like if I want to try this sandwich, it needs to be from their test kitchen.
August 24, 20196 yr Popeye's quality has just gone to shit, so there's no reason to assume their chicken sandwich is going to be any good.
August 24, 20196 yr Had the sandwich last week. The chicken part was better than Chick-fil-a but I still would like some toppings other than just 2 pickles. That being said, Chick-fil-a could end all this by putting out spicy strips or nuggets. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk
August 24, 20196 yr The one on North Lamar past Rundberg is only busy on Tuesdays, when they have the 2-piece special.

August 24, 20196 yr Either the Dallas Observer or DMN called all 53 Popeye's in town and only four weren't sold out of this thing.
August 24, 20196 yr In the early 2000s, there was a hard fought battle between the Church's and Popeyes Riverside locations to see who could fuck your order up the most. Ultimately, Church's won, but it was damn close.
August 24, 20196 yr Whoever is behind the Popeye's social media and marketing is a genius. This shit is everywhere. This wasn't some organic thing that just popped up out of nowhere.
August 24, 20196 yr 3 hours ago, 3adays said: Why the rush now? Haven’t these sandwiches been out for months now? i think it went nationwide a couple weeks back. i assume you're in houston, we must have been a test market.
August 24, 20196 yr I had one of these in Plano about 3 weeks ago before anyone was talking about them. It was good but what pissed me off is the spicy is only the mayo not the batter on the chicken. I don't eat mayo so couldn't get the preferred spicy. Better than chickfila which tastes so much like peanut oil it gets hard to eat by the last bites.
August 24, 20196 yr I go to Popeye's nearly every week for real chicken. I hate the sandwich because it takes the dipshit employees like 10 minutes to slap them together. Service has been a dumpster fire since.
August 24, 20196 yr Popeye's should be a place to go to get "not another fucking sandwich." Anybody can do that shit. Edited August 24, 20196 yr by DougO
August 24, 20196 yr I had one a few days ago. It was great. I wouldn't compare it to chickfila at all. Apples and oranges. The breast itself was significantly larger but didn't seem to have the same pickle brine to it that CFA has but that could be because I ordered mine spicy. The bun was superb.
August 24, 20196 yr Had one today. Thought it was pretty bland with only the couple of pickles. Size of the chicken was legit though, and probably the best fast food value for your money.
August 25, 20196 yr i think it went nationwide a couple weeks back. i assume you're in houston, we must have been a test market. We’ve apparently had it in Dallas since May
August 25, 20196 yr Might go down as one of the greatest social media free promotions of all time. Its all over twitter and instagram the reiterations of chick fila vs popeyes is hilarious, esp the ones that reference the chick fila customer service etc. I almost wonder if they did this together by figuring out that it would make them both massive sales.

August 25, 20196 yr Chic Fil A was great back in the olden days before the forced you to buy a sandwich to get the filets. The default meal was two fillets, one bun that you could do whatever the hell you wanted with, and frieds (not waffle back then). I still love the taste of the chicken but the value sucks.

Pre-waffle fries chick filA? How fucking old are you? I’m no spring chicken and I can recall getting waffle fries from the chick filA in the mall (when the only locations were malls) 30+ years ago.
August 25, 20196 yr is the Popeyes line longer than the daily cfa line? Edited August 25, 20196 yr by 4th&Five
August 25, 20196 yr is the Popeyes line longer than the daily cfa line?It’s not the length that counts it’s the girth of inventory management, workforce management and general give a fuck about customer experience. None of which Popeyes really has much of (though they do make a mean two piece and a biscuit)

I remember getting waffle fries at Chick-fil-A on trips to the mall arcades from 1985 onward. I'm not sure how long they had them before that but I always assumed they always had waffle fries.

They're out the door at the two in my area every time I drive by. Because people are fucking stupid. These sandwiches have been there for some months now and zero word about it. Only when Popeyes and Chick Fil A spoke about this sandwich on Twitter, all hell broke loose. People just now had to have it that never would have even thought twice about getting it from Popeye's or even going there to begin with. I would say the power of advertising but it's more of the dumbed down America.
August 25, 20196 yr The spicy from Popeyes is the superior choice for any fast food chicken sandwich and it's not close at all. It is sublime.
