Food / Drink The official Popeyes thread

[EmersonHart13]

I'm in Texas, as close to Louisiana as I have ever been so....

I figured it was time to try one and It almost lived up to the endless hype train. I went spicy. It was real good and likely one of the best chicken sandwiches I have ever had. It was ready almost too fast so I was worried and it came in a kids meal bag but it was obviously fresh, moist, and yummy. Would eat again.

Cliffs: it delivered.

This makes me so happy.

Mook have you tried a BK spicy chicken sandwich with bacon and cheese? Or just the spicy chicken without that?

 

[Mook]

Without

 

[10sec]

0-10?

 

[Mook]

Nothing special.

 

[10sec]

Hm. I've only had it with the bacon and cheese, which was on accident and I loved it. I was hoping to get a comparison to this hype sammie cause I haven't had it yet.

 

[Mook]

I'll have to try one like that.

Been years since I've gone. I remember it being good. Anyone been lately?

 

[PANDA]

[Mook]

Nope

[PANDA]

I think I would need to taste both of them back to back.

I think I would need to taste both of them back to back.

The Popeye's and Chick-Fil-A in Naperville at Fox Valley Mall are right next to each other.... Whos going to go and do a side by side....

 

[The Beast]

Nope

Agreed Popeyes is a good sammich for $3.99 second would be BK and depending on how fresh the spicy chicken from Wendy’s is it could be second. Chik Filet sandwich’s do nothing for me now the service and lemonade is out of this world.

Popeyes gives Canadian 'Family Feud' contestant $10,000 worth of chicken after hilariously wrong answer

She may have dashed her family's chances at winning the big prize, but least she’ll have some chicken!

All this Chicken makes me wants some Taps n' Tenders.

Finally tried the spicey one. was sitting a while for sure but the chicken was just as good as before. the spice however was not needed I think. it wasnt spicey, but had a kick, but I think just overpower the deliciousness of the chicken itself

 

[boostedguy05]

i still have yet to have a spicy.

 

[EmersonHart13]

To me that's the way to go at Popeyes

McDonalds wants a piece of this pie, of course, but can they really compete??



In addition to focusing on breakfast, McDonald's is working to bring a chicken sandwich that can compete with ones made by Popeyes and Chick-fil-A.
"We're committed to really updating and competing in an aggressive way in the chicken segment," Kempczinski explained. McDonald's recently tested a crispy chicken sandwich, made with a fried chicken filet topped with butter and crinkle-cut pickles on a potato roll, in Knoxville, Tennessee; and Houston, Texas. It also tested a deluxe version with tomatoes, lettuce and mayo in those markets.


The fight for chicken
McDonald's franchisees have been clamoring for months for a sandwich that can compete with Chick-fil-A's offerings. But it takes time to find the right product, Kempczinski said. McDonald's has a broader menu than many of its chicken-selling competitors, so it has to find something that won't burden kitchen staff and slow down service. McDonald's may also need different equipment to roll out a chicken sandwich nationally.
"It's a little bit of a Rubik's cube of what's the customer looking for, what works operationally and then the business fundamentals," Kempczinski said. But, he noted, "I think we're getting close to having something that we're excited to bring to customers."

McDonald's is kicking off the year with a wave of good financial results. But it still needs to figure out how to bring in more customers.
