if popeyes customer service was 50% as good as McDonalds, it'd run chick fil a and KFC out of business. I've never had a pleasant experience at popeyes, but i keep going back because the chicken is 10000000% better than anything else.

lol--not even close, on both counts...sorry

Eh, it might not be 10000000 (or whatever) % better, but it's definitely better tasting.

Nah it's definitely better than Chick-fil-A. I find them to be overrated in general. I do want to try the mac and cheese, tho.

Having had the mac n cheese, it's okay.  Not as good as homemade, but it's better than anything you'll buy at a cheap buffet restaurant.

I do really like their chicken.  It's not as good as Popeye's, but it's good.

Still, their service has consistently been the best of any fast food restaurant I've ever been to, and it's not even remotely close.

bolded sentence is obviously a matter of opinion, but your second one is irrefutable

I saw a similar story last week.

The one near me certainly isn't clean.

Then again, the best Mexican restaurant I know would probably fail a health inspection.  I'll still eat there.

Wendy's service is usually TOO good, like at least give me time to get my wallet before you're handing my bag of food to me.

As for best chicken, it's still Chic-Fil-a for me by a longshot.  I like Popeye's a lot better than KFC (which is pure garbage), but I'd put Zaxby's up there after Chic-Fil-a.  Those two seem to have very clean and lean chicken, and don't overfry (I've had bits of Popeye's that seemed to be all batter and no chicken).

Is there any love for Cane’s on here?

I've never had Zaxby's.  I'll have to try it if I see it.

A lot of guys from my church love it.  I've never had it. I'm told the menu is pretty narrow, but also that what they do, they do well.

Canes is great. But not sure it’s the chicken or the sauce...

The sauce is awesome. 

That is why Popeyes tastes like a black woman with no elbows made your sandwich and chick fil a tastes like a woman named Karen made it. I do like both tho. I don’t even live within 15 miles of a Popeyes

Love Canes.

Canes is solid, but Roosters>Canes...all day long 

Can’t stand Roosters

Canes is good. Prefer Chick fil a

Not saying it's great or tasty, just that it's clean and lean.  Their Caesar salads, with chicken, are pretty good though.

Never had Cain's.  I like Wendy's, I LOVE Chic-Fil-A.  Never gotten the hype for Popeye's, though.

why is that, praytell?

Popeyes is too salty for me. But I also don’t really compare them to Chick Fil A or Wendy’s. They are a fried chicken restaurant. Like KFC, or Churches. Chick Fil a is a sandwich place. Until a week ago, Popeyes had nothing in common with Chick fil a. 

^^^hilarious....if that was an official tweet it would cause major meltdowns

Menu looks great, very affordable but everything there is just meh and I do not like their bone in wings

I love Chick Fil A. Too bad every time I'm tempted to go there's 25+ cars sitting in the drive through.
