Man, I see Popeye’s and want it but never know if I’m gonna get a full meal there, (Shreveport LA)
So I hit it about three times within the last couple of months (I love their chicken sandwiches (better than Chic-fil-a imo). - First time had to wait about 20 mins for the sandwich (no sides, no coke or sweet tea avail). - Second time no sandwich available. - Third time had to wait about 20 mins, no fries, no sweet tea, only sides were red beans w/rice or Mac n cheese.
One day I’m gonna get a full combo meal, lol
They make good chicken , all their sides are good and the fried apple pies are really delicious. Messy though because they’re rolled in cinnamon sugar. There’s one close to my work HQ and I’ll go there if I’m a on tight schedule because they are fast, going thru the drive thru, bout 2 minutes.
There was a restaurant in Long Beac, CA about 10 years back. An established well know restaurant. The customers would swear about how good the chicken was, so much better than Popeyes next door at half the price. Until one day they got caught buying all their chicken from the Popeyes and serving it as their own.

The list of 💩 they put in that ‘chicken’ is unreal—“dope sandwiches” according to Farrakhan. lol
No kidding! That’s hilarious!

I loved the Cajun Rice as a side
They discontinued it though.
We used to get thier Turkey as a Thanksgiving tradition ( Your re heating a cooked and frozen bird )
But they went from $35. To $75.
That ended that.....
They still serve cajun rice around here.
Sodium tripoli, a plumping agent, is one of the main things injected into chicken.
The more you research the shit they put into all of our meats, the easier it is to become less, and less of a carnivore.
It's definitely worth the extra money spent, to buy from a local butcher/meat market.
100% I’d rather eat a baked spud over a lot of the ‘meat’ out there. A quality local butcher is definitely the way!
My wife worked in marketing with a large poultry company—-she told me too much. 😂
You just have a poorly managed store. There is never a reason why they would be out of fries. Their supply chain and DC’s carry tons of safety stock.
Nah I delivered food for years. You wouldn’t believe the amount of times the warehouse would screw up and straight up forget to put stuff on the truck or even put them on the wrong truck. I’d find stuff on my truck for a restaurant 200 miles away. I’d call about a missing pallet and find out it was on a truck in another state. And no, there’s no way for the driver to “inventory” or check the truck before you leave. All you can see is what’s near the doors, you can’t see or access the rest until that’s been unloaded and out of your way. Even if you could, you gonna go 1 by 1 and check 1,000 cases for accuracy before heading out on your 14hr route? 😂 Not enough time for that. I’ve left stores out of bacon, out of fries, out of chicken, etc. When they’re getting 400-500lbs of fries 2x per week, one jacked up delivery can absolutely put them out of fries for 2-3 days until the next delivery.
Popeye's is sometimes really good and other times i'm left wondering what i just consumed.
give me Chik-Fil-A any day of the week (except Sundays, fuckin' mormons)
No way a distributor or chain is going to let a Popeyes be without fries for 3 days because it didn’t go on the truck. They’d have another truck or courier dropping off product the next day at the latest.
I can’t count how many times I’ve picked the product up at the warehouse and delivered it myself.
Sure, when the store is an hour from the warehouse. But these warehouses have long tentacles and deliver to stores 4hrs+ away in some mountain BFE town. Without other stops along the way, they’re not sending a truck and driver on a whole day trip to one customer in a hole in the wall town that didn’t get their 10 cases of fries. What would usually happen is the store would call up another same-chain store, (that store was usually only about an hour away) and “borrow” some fries from them. But that’s IF the other store had fries to give. You must have stayed close to the warehouse if you’re just zipping stuff to a restaurant nearby. Go to Thousandsticks, KY and when you get there keep driving for another 30min and tell me they’re gonna send a special truck from the warehouse down in Knoxville, TN all the way there for some fries. With several other stops along the way? Maybe. But a single store? No way.
