I disagree. I’ve tried to give Popeye’s the benefit of the doubt, but their food tatstes bad, small portions, and high prices. Tried three different locations—they’re all the same. Blah.

Tastes vary, of course. My palate tells me that Popeye's makes some very tasty fast food - the red beans and rice are amazing, the popcorn shrimp is addictive, and the fried chicken is miles ahead of anything KFC will ever offer. For what it is - fast food - Popeye's is right up there with In-N-Out for me.

I’ve come to view most fast food the same way, overpriced, poor quality, unhealthy and usually highly salted to cover the putrid flavor, or lack thereof.

I think I may have been spoiled by some of the grocery/recipe delivery services, like Blue Apron. Good food, fresh produce that you prepare, and completely customizeable as far as seasoning. Now, fast food tastes like not food to me.

Food is good, the service is memorably horrible

Popeye’s chicken is alright, but it’s not the be-all-end-all that some seem to claim. Nor is anything else on their menu what I consider “great”, either.

It’s just another fast food joint with an adequate product. Nothing special.

I think the chicken itself is good, but the stuff like shrimp, popcorn chicken and tenders are too dry and overpriced. I order one breast ala carte which comes with a biscuit at two bucks and change for a cheap lunch. If I want a bucket of chicken I go to Walmart and get eight pieces freshly made for six bucks. It’s fresh and actually very good.
