Popeyes is amazing. A-m-a-z-i-n-g. It is THE best fast food chicken you will EVER find.

The flavor, the juiciness – it’s all at Popeyes. No deep fried chicken is better. It beats KFC, Church’s, etc by miles and miles.

The biscuit complaint – I LOVE their biscuits but I have had a few occasions where they were dry like you described, so please understand that you must have gotten in on the infrequent occurrence of a badly prepared batch. I know that doesn’t speak well of the restaurant but in my hundreds of times at Popeyes it has only happened about two times.

They make excellent chicken sandwiches, spicy or mild, it’s all great. Wonderful chicken strips if you don’t want to work with the bones.

The sad part is that they are not all over America. They are very prevalent in some places but scarce to totally devoid in other areas. I’m currently in the Detroit, MI metro area and I have only seen one and that was in downtown Detroit. I’m a good 40 miles from there so I can’t go often but I am ANXIOUSLY awaiting that day.

IN FACT – i only wound up on this web page because I did a google search for Popeyes chicken images. THATS HOW MUCH IN LOVE I AM WITH THIS CHICKEN.

100% A++++++ LOVE THAT CHICKEN AT POPEYES!

Anywho, the first time, and only times, I’ve had Popeye’s is actually at the airport in Hong Kong during layovers. The food stand had a huge t.v. on its wall playing Popeye cartoons, and the chicken was fried when I ordered it. Everything was so freshly made and hot that I had to let it sit for awhile before eating it. But it’s worth it, and the biscuits weren’t dry at all.

Speaking of airport food chains, there was a really good chicken chain in Atlanta, but I can’t for the life of me remember the name.

Oh, as for the biscuit/cookie thing, biscuits can mean both cookies or the roll/muffin in Canada. It really depends where you go. If I was going to a fast food joint and a biscuit came with my meal in Canada, I’m more likely to assume it’s a dinner roll type thing rather than a cookie.

We were in Burlington a couple of months ago at the outlets, and I really wanted to go have Popeye’s chicken, I haven’t had it in years (my uncles would bring it down from the Bay Area in California bc Monterey does not have a Popeye’s), but we ended up at the Applebee’s. I’ll have to try that Maggie Moo’s place sometime though!

L.A. Chicken ….where, where ?!? Inquiring minds (and hungry tummies) want to know !

They didn’t have anything else on offer for lunch, hence we couldn’t really order anything else and do reviews on other dishes.

We’ve done a mini-review of their po’boys and they were so-so.

Can’t really give them high points for “authenticity” after perusing their menu.

For best ribs, Memphis Blues is still the local reigning Bubba !

Dadeo’s on Cambie at 17th (I think I mentioned them once here) is a new “Southern” eatery originating in Edmonton. They occupy where the venerable Tomato Fresh Cafe used to be. I tried their fried chicken on their opening night and was quite disappointed. Apparently they’ve tweaked their recipe since then and when I tried it again for the second time last wee, it was much improved. Still a tad dry for my taste but overall not bad at all.
