Popeye’s Chicken review. Here are my previous reviews of Bojangles, KFC, and Church’s.
I got there about noon, which is prime lunchtime. I waited behind a person who had a giant order. They were fast and polite and got things done in an organized way. I did wait in line long enough that I got tempted, and I added a strawberry cheesecake to my order. I got sucked in by temptation.
I was able to use a paper coupon at Popeye’s. I got five pieces of chicken: three spicy/two original, taters and gravy, fries, and two biscuits. I also ordered the strawberry cheesecake. My total of $14.36 was a good deal. I did not get a drink because it was not included with the coupon, and I have drinks at home.
Joejoe: The chicken was good. I think the original had more flavor than the spicy—both pieces are crispy with a good taste. The original has an excellent cajun aftertaste.
Shellie: Comparable to the others, Popeye’s was on the better side. Like Bojangles, I didn’t feel “gross” after I ate it. I don’t feel like it had excessive grease. I ate a chicken breast, which tasted better than Bojangles’ chicken breasts.
Joejoe: The biscuit was the best. None of the others compare on flavor. An excellent buttery taste and good texture. It is smaller than some biscuits but not enough to complain about.
Shellie: Biscuit: of all the places we tried, this was the best of the biscuits. It tasted fresh and had a good aftertaste. It had a good texture like it wasn’t frozen and nuked.
Joejoe: The fries were a perfect flavor. They were not crispy, which does lose some points for me. I would still say I enjoyed them. They have an excellent cajun aftertaste, making you feel like it’s real food.
Shellie: Fries: Ok. I wouldn’t bother. The seasoning was good, though.
Joejoe: The mac and cheese was like homemade mac and cheese. It had cheese on top and cheese throughout the whole thing. Not oily, just really good flavor. The noodles were a good texture.
Shellie: Best Mac and Cheese. This was the only Mac and Cheese I liked. It had a variation of texture, making it seem like it was home-cooked, and to top it off, it had fresh cheddar cheese on top!
Joejoe: The mashed taters and gravy were excellent. They tasted like real taters and gravy. The sauce was right. They had an excellent cajun taste.
Shellie: It had chunks of real potatoes, making me think it wasn’t instant! Good flavor. It almost tasted like ranch seasoning, but not fake-tasting.
Joejoe: Final wrap-up: I am surprised Popeye’s wins. The chicken was good, and they had the best biscuits, taters, and mac and cheese. The fries were also good. KFC had the best fries, but I would need a blind taste test for chicken. I don’t think KFC would win. KFC also had the worst biscuits. I am disappointed that Bojangles didn’t score higher. It looks like the next time I am going for chicken, it will be Popeye’s.
Shellie: Popeye’s is the only chicken place worth going back to.
