Don't know which fries you're talking about. If it's the same as the current ones here (that showed up a few years ago), then not really honestly.

If you're talking about the ones from 5 years or so back, those were freaking awesome. If popeyes in your area still has those fries, I'm totally jelly.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

I like their rice and biscuits.

 

[entremet]

Shake Shack has better fries.


But Popeye's Chicken >>> KFC Chicken any day of the week.

And their buffalo hot sauce / apple pies / mashed potatoes and gravy are divine.

Shack Shake upgraded their fries. They used have garbage fries.

 

[LogicStep]

"Popeyes is truly a gift from God" is the correct thread title.

YES

When your food is freshly made, those crunchy fries, that crunchy chicken, that godly biscuit. Yeah, that food is god tier.

 

[Vilam]

Why waste stomach space on fries when you could be eating their red beans and rice? So damn good!

 

[CadetMahoney]

Isn't Popeye copyrighted to like:

Can I open a restaurant called Hulk's now?

But to avoid a potential lawsuit, Popeyes over the years has teamed up with King Features Syndicate (the people who own the Popeye character) for licensing deals.

Thx!

Officially it's "Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen," and the name "Popeyes" was inspired by the "character in the French Connection."

There is no apostrophe in "Popeyes," so technically they are different names.

Love that chicken from Popeyes, but I do not like the fries. Besides, I'd much rather have the red beans & rice.

 

[Lkr]

Popeyes fries + KFC tenders =

popeyes has the best tenders imo.

the biscuits, fries, mashed potatoes, and tenders combo is amazing. shame i'm trying to eat healthy

 

[Pegosaurus]

god this gif is so great

 

[Andrew.]

I'll stick with the best fries in fast food:

Dude you can buy these in grocery stores now!

And they hold up!

 

[Yaphett Kotto]

Whatever floats your boat. Their fries are always too soggy for my tastes.

Weird. The one I had in Atlanta never were soggy. The one I went to was near a upper class neighborhood, though,

 

[Biker19]

In terms of sides, I like both their fries & their cajun rice.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

Yes, their fries and chicken are good.

 

[belushy]

I'll stick with the best fries in fast food:

Sooo good. Never have had the chance to eat Popeyes though.

 

[Extra Sauce]

Read the article, now I have a craving for swiss rolls, chocolate chip cookies and donuts.

 

[Protag]

OP's post was Suppadoopa.

 

[Gray Matter]

Fuck, now I really want some Popeyes... Thanks a lot

Spoiler

not

 

[akira28]

If you could combine the chicken, taste, and spices of Popeyes chicken with the crunchy batter of KFC chicken you would have the best god damn fried chicken on the planet.

I could make this happen, but what would it be worth, I wonder.

 

[dvdjamm]

The fries are very good,but the Mashed Potatoes with Cajun Gravy,especially during a winter day...MMMMMMM

Also if you can,when you buy the chicken,get a large order of just the gravy. Put the chicken in a pan and pour the gravy all over. Let it sit in a warm oven for about 15-20 minutes.SO GOOD

 

[Reven]

Popeye's has the worlds best tenders too. Can't go wrong with spicy or mild.

 

[Elchele]

I fully agree.

 

[goldsoundz]

Truth. 5 piece tenders with fries and a biscuit. I want it so bad, but I must resist.

 

[Abstruse Moose]

Their spicy chicken sandwich makes my butthole burn.

 

[Rest]

When they're fresh they're amazing, but I always seem to get them after they've been sitting a while, and they get kinda soggy.

 

[CriginsMcJuggs]

the last time I got popeyes it was the little chicken bites and they were undercooked, I was throwing up all night. I love popeyes but I need time to let the wounds on my heart heal from their betrayal

 

[enzo_gt]

ITS NOT KFC FRIES DOE

 

[PartlyCloudlike]

I think my taste buds are fucked. Popeye's is my place, I go there all the time. I love the chicken and I...think the fries are ok? Despite the seasoned breading, I still find them bland.

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

All sides from Popeye's is hot doodoo butter.

#chickenandbiscuitsonly

 

[ZROCOOL]

Totally agree. Dip those bad boys in Sweet n' Heat!

 

[hydruxo]

I thought Five Guys were Friggin Terrible.

No way! I love their fries. Too many restaurants have the same type of fries though so I get tired of them. But you gotta love how they fill up a cup and then just throw another half pound of fries in the bag for no reason.

 

[Goro Majima]

Popeyes is the best ever.

I cant believe some people prefer KFC.

 

[rudieboy77]

When fresh Popeyes chicken is almost as good as home made. Now their dirty rice and other stuff never tastes fresh to me, but I make my rice a little less dry than most.

 

[Nista]

Royal Farms Western fries are better than Popeyes. Too bad you can't get them out here.

 

[CornBurrito]

We actually lost the best fries in the universe. In the past McDonalds used beef tallow in their fries. Those were the best fries to ever exist. While still good, their fries are now a shadow of their former selves.

 

[Himynameischris]

I've found rallys (checkers) fries to be really good as well but yeah popeyes is definitely up there as some of the best.

You ain't lying. Wendy's made an excellent push, tho. But damn, I miss that trans fat.

 

[Persona7]

Yes, the fries and chickens strips are so good.

 

[G-Fex]

I feel awful that I've never been to Popeyes and just bought a bucket of spicy delicious chicken.

 

[PartlyCloudlike]

I think McD's used to use beef tallow, which I don't think had transfat. But when vegetarians complained, they ended up switching to vegetable oil. Dunno if that had trans fat.

 

[akira28]

If you order a bucket they will throw you out.

 

[Data West]

Wrong

 

[SgtCobra]

Hi guys I'm a boring European peasant, am I missing much?

 

[cafemomo]

Hi guys I'm a boring European peasant, am I missing much?

you yuropoors don't have popeyes?

Ya'll need to get liberated asap

 

[HarryKS]

The taters, oh the taters!

 

[TargetDummy81]

Fries are not too shabby compared to other places around here.

I am more of a mashed potato with cajun gravy, cajun rice, or red beans and rice man though.

 

[Camp Lo]

popeyes has the best tenders imo.

the biscuits, fries, mashed potatoes, and tenders combo is amazing. shame i'm trying to eat healthy

something about the quality of meat as of late that's off, their seasonings on point though

 

[Strax]

That new C-L fly
Outside of Popeyes eating chicken and fries
Yeah come holla at your uncle
I understand I'm back by popular demand

 

[peteykirch]

I've never really gotten hot fries from Popeyes. They've always been room temperature.

 

[JBuccCP]

They're pretty good, not quite Rally's but a nice imitation. They're really stingy with them in those meal boxes though. They put like the equivalent of a small Mcdonald's fry size in there.
