    What do you think is the worst item on the Popeyes menu?

  • @marshapelo9830

    Overpriced.

    Video provider....I was a supervisor at Popeyes for over 7 years Never saw a "Pre-Breaded" spicy tender in my store. Hmmm ? Also, whoever talked about leaving the spicy chicken under heat lamps longer than not or until someone complains. Nope, Sorry get with the "Serv Safe" program. Popeyes has product quality times to follow like other concepts. Staff just needs to be trained and follow procedures. Stop trying to save money and serve good product. Most of this bad quality chicken stuff happens from Lazy, not properly trained cooks that don't know when and how much certain chicken to drop at certain times.

  • @kali3665
    @kali3665 Před 14 dny +2

    People think I'm being sarcastic when I say that Popeye's specializes in uncooked chicken. They HAVE that reputation! When I got Popeye's chicken, I never ate it there. I took it home and froze everything. Then, I will put them in the oven when I am ready to eat them, allowing me to make sure it actually IS cooked. Finally, I just gave up, because it just wasn't worth going miles out of my way just to get chicken I wasn't impressed with anyway. The only thing I got when I walked past one is a bunch of their blackened ranch sauce packets. Recently, I've decided it's just easiest to make my own.
    Did you know blackened seasoning is actually RED?! The coloring darkens when you heat it.
    Been going to Raising Cane a lot recently. So much better. They're better than KFC too, but then so is everyone these days. But I still miss Pioneer Chicken - they were the best.
    Fun fact: Popeye's Chicken is not named after the sailorman. It is named after Eddie Egan, whose nickname was "Popeye." He was the cop who, with his partner Sonny Grosso, busted the so-called French Connection drug ring, and he inspired the character of Popeye Doyle in the movie with Gene Hackman and Roy Scheider. But, of course, that never stopped the restaurant from licensing the cartoon character for occasional promotions.

  • @KittenKill189

    Calling Popeyes " Louisiana Kitchen" is an insult to Cajun/ Creole cooking. Which is considered one of the best cuisines in the world.

  • @michaelblack8373
    @michaelblack8373 Před 7 dny

    You can do this for any restaurant brand in the country. Even peoples beloved Chick fil a. You can also do videos that show customers who rave certain brands. One location is not indicative to an entire brand. Popeyes is best in class for bone in chicken. If you havent tried them in a while, then go visit one and form your own opinion. You will be pleasantly surprised.

    Offering options for non meat eaters is a questionable practice, like yeah vegetarians/vegans need to eat too, but how are you not ok eating something that TOUCHED meat, but you are ok financially supporting one of the largest purchasers of chicken???? It's extremely hypocritical imo, so I'm kind of glad the beyond meat movement pretty much failed. You can't advocate that meat eating is unethical & then fork over your money to exactly what you're advocating against. So to even mention that is kinda laughable.

The portions are so small😂😂😂The chicken tenders were good, but now they are half the size and almost double the price from just 3 years ago (thank you brandon)😂😂😂 popeye's no thank you!!!

    When I ordered mashed potatoes on 2 consecutive Thursday afternoons thru the drive thru only to discover a bag loaded with french fries which I didn't want or order. Do it once and you have an idiot at the store. The second week same thing. They know damn well you are not driving back once home with the wrong order. Corporate office doesn't do a damn thing and the local Popeyes keep their phone off the hook. Not going back. They cheat.
