I have been to Popeye's two times and both times I had the worst food and service. Seems like they only hire incompetent black people.
Never had a single issue at Chick fil A. |

I think CFA has the best chicken sandwich out of all the fast-food type places. However, I've always wondered why Popeyes(who I think make the best fried chicken out of all franchise places) never had a real competitor. Well, looks like this might change come tomorrow nationwide. I for one will be trying it out since the CFA and Popeyes here are practically right next to one another. Cost: $3.99 the sandwich features a buttermilk battered and hand-breaded chicken breast filet, two barrel-cured pickles, and a choice of either classic mayo or spicy Cajun spread on a buttery, toasted brioche bun View Quote https://www.brandeating.com/2019/08/popeyes-unveils-new-chicken-sandwich.html Review View Quote |

IME,
Tier 1: Hate chicken and Raising Canes Tier 2: Popeyes and Zaxbys Tier 4: KFC Only other one near me is a Church's and never been there. I hear its on par with popeyes. Popeyes is only acceptable when the tier 1s aren't available |

I love Popeyes for bone in fried chicken. But, there is no way they will replace hate chicken in my house.
The cleanest Popeyes I ever saw, was far dirtier than the dirtiest CFA I have ever been in. |

CFA opened a store not far away in Rincon Ga some months back & they seem to have fixed all CFAs problems. plenty of counter staff, dining area, lots & lots of parking and a dual line drive up. I don`t think I have stood in line more than 3 or 4 minutes, usually less than 1.
don`t tell nobody, I don`t want it to get crowded. |

For me, it's the McChicken. The best fast food sandwich. I even ask for extra McChicken sauce packets and the staff is so friendly and more than willing to oblige. One time I asked for McChicken sauce packets and they gave me three. I said, "Wow, three for free!" and the nice friendly McDonald's worker laughed and said, "I'm going to call you 3-for-free!".
Now the staff greets me with "hey it's 3-for-free!" and ALWAYS give me three packets. It's such a fun and cool atmosphere at my local McDonald's restaurant, I go there at least 3 times a week for lunch and a large iced coffee with milk instead of cream, 1-2 times for breakfast on the weekend, and maybe once for dinner when I'm in a rush but want a great meal that is affordable, fast, and can match my daily nutritional needs. I even dip my fries in McChicken sauce, it's delicious! What a great restaurant. |

Popeye's is owned by Burger King. They aren't going to be eating anything but ass until they get out from under that disaster.

OP, if you are the Popeye's PR guy this is a crappy ad push.
Not just no but oh hell no. |

Are they going to hire all CFA’s staff too? It’s not just the food at CFA. View Quote I was raised on Popeyes from their original location in Metairie and absolutely love it to this day but their service is nothing compared to CFA. I love both’s food. |
|
The Popeyes down here in Louisiana are horrible. Went through the drive through a couple of months ago. No tea, no Apple pies, no BBQ sauce, no biscuits. They handed us the food in the drive through and said "you good." The credit card machine must have been down, too.

View Quote Hate chicken is a little overrated, but they are far and away above Popeye's. |
|
Popeye’s is well above average in being courteous.
Raisin’ Cane’s beats both of them. |
|
|
Been a CFA fan for years and will continue, stopped at a Popeye's for a quick lunch last week for the first time. Fast and courteous service with a smile, chicken sandwich, fries and tea were very good, I'll go back.
|
|
I feel really sad for people who think that Popeye’s is good chicken.
|
|
lololol. No.
Even if they have THE best chicken in the world, No. period. What make CFL so awesome isnt how gr8 the chicken is. It is a combination of Great chicken Good employees (not low life scum like PP) Clean stores/ non greasy feel Did i mention employees who are friendly, smiling and dont have facial tats? Yeah... Doesnt matter how good your chicken is (or should be) with shitbag employees running things. |
|
I eat at CFL two to three times a week. I eat at Popeyes about four times a year. Yeah, CFL is not going away anytime soon.
|
|
Chik-Fil-A sucks. And the servers are smarmy, with a stink of moral superiority. All of them. At every location.
|
|
Will Popeye’s be sending their employees to “It’s my pleasure” school to learn how to “refresh” soft drinks?

ETA - clarified. * near me. I’ve probably seen 5 Popeyes, ever. |

Until Popeyes can get the quality of employees as CFA it will always be second place. Except on Sundays.

Popeyes may have some great chicken, but considering they have nothing else going for them I'll continue to support Hate Chicken. |

I may try the new sandwich but I rank Popeyes as the worst of the chicken places and they cost more than the other places around here.

CFA tastes like crap without a ton of sauces.
No thanks. I wont eat it even if it were free(and that has been a thing in the past that I could have taken advantage of). Good customer service does not make up for bland chicken and even worse bland potatos. A better chocken sammich can be had from Carls Jr. |

I like Popeyes chicken better than Chic-fil-a, however every Popeyes I ever been to has had shit service

Sometimes it's nice to go somewhere and not be treated like a piece of shit, like you're inconveniencing them for buying their food. |

If you order from Popeyes, you may not even get to eat your own lunch...Service is slow and shitty. Them biscuits though...most satisfying choking death (by food) possible?

Folks that talk down Popeyes service haven't been to the Popeyes at the Atlanta airport. Yes, the Atlanta Airport. I was there about a year ago now and the ladies behind the counter were some hustling employees getting the order right and moving you on down the line for your money and - bam - here is your chicken sir. I was very impressed. View Quote |

Popeyes can be hit or miss service wise. CFA is consistently good.
The CFA by my house sucks by CFA standards. The CFA that borders the hood, by my work, is the best one I've ever been to. Popeyes is really good chicken but a lot of the franchises are poorly run. One by me is run very well. You can tell that the owners actually work in the restaurant. I'll be checking out this sandwich and report back my findings. |

I'd agree with most of that. Chik-Fil-A's food ain't like the second coming or anything, and it is kinda meh overall. Good, but not phenomenal. I disagree about the customer service thing though. Sometimes it's nice to go somewhere and not be treated like a piece of shit, like you're inconveniencing them for buying their food. View Quote The ONLY reason for going to my CFA is if you want to time it just before the lunch rush so you can see the stay at home MILF's come parading through in their yoga pants with their crotch fruit in tow. The yuppie experience at CFA is full tilt and very real. But there is zero reason for me to ever go there again. 30+ years ago it was a fad in our local mall. I remember eating it as a kid and hating the pickle way back then. Now, well about 5 years ago, they are back in town with a store front and the 3 times I have eaten there has left me totally underwelmed. Tried something different each time and wound up having to get a spicy chicken sandwich just to have any hint of flavor. Bland bordering on awful in the taste dept. I would rather have questionable and tasty than known quality and totaly bland. Hate chicken? More like amish chicken. It takes pride in being bland. Give me some fucking chicken that is out on rumspringa any day. |

I like me some CFA,
I like me some Popeyes* (on the way home from work), I like me some Cracker Barrel chicken (on Sundays), I love me some Gus's Fried Chicken! (I'll make the drive for this stuff.) *a lot of locations are excluded from this though. |

Popeyes has great recipes, but the parolees working at them manage to fuck everything up.
|
|
I'll try it. There is a Popeyes about 3 mi from my house. The closest Chick-fil-A is about 50.
|

Popeyes used to be great. They suck since BK took 'em over, I quit going there.
