Popeyes spicy chicken is awesome and I love their sides. Taste is waaay better than KFC. The only problem with them is that the quality standards of the franchise is not being maintained in every location, unlike KFC which does a better job of keeping the locations in line.
Around me, all the KFCs are substandard while most popeyes are actually maintained better. Although there is one popeyes somewhat near me that used to get in trouble for dumping oil on the side of the parking lot. I guess it all depends on your location.
The crust of my armpit tastes better than KFC.
But I need Popeyes a few times a year just to know I’m alive.
My guy, clean your armpits. They shouldn’t be crusty.
Disagree. I can get KFC here, while I would have to cross the Atlantic ocean to get something of Popeyes. KFC doe deliver here, Popeyes doesn’t.
The Popeyes spicy chicken sandwich is a triumph.
The KFC Zinger (spicy chicken sandwich) is amazing and on par with Popeye’s spicy chicken sandwich. The only difference is the fries and there it just comes down to preference. While the Cajun fries from Popeyes have something good and “unique” about them, sometimes you are just in the mood for regular fries and then KFC fries are the best fast food fries available in the Philippines. They are truly amazing fries. But I am also aware that the quality of KFC drops outside of SEA.
When it comes to regular fried chicken, neither place is particularly outstanding.
The Popeyes here is garbage. But then again, KFC isn’t better so your point stands I guess.
It varies by location but Lee’s famous recipe chicken will always slap
Mary Brown’s is better than both.
Fresh Publix fried chicken kicks both in the teeth.
I’d spent forever hearing about how good Popeye’s is. Apparently the one near me is an outlier because I’ve given them three chances and was insanely let down every single time. Maybe one day when I’m passing by a different one and I have the urge, I’ll try again at a different location, but for now I’m sticking with KFC for the chicken sandwiches (and the fries… KFC honestly has some of my favorite fast food fries and they’ve been consistently good every time).
Popeyes chicken is always so dry and unpleasant unless it’s the tenders. Those are good. Not great, but good. But I don’t usually want tenders, so that doesn’t do a lot of good for me if I want a leg or breast or something.
Also all of their sides are a bit worse than KFC as well.
So KFC is better and I generally dislike KFC as it is. So many other options to get actually good fried chicken at the same price now that it’s so expensive.
Depends where you live, Popeye’s in my city is great and way better than KFC.
As much as I’d heard how much better they’re supposed to be I was excited that there’s one nearby my new job. What a disappointment, I’ll give them the win in breading texture but it’s bland, the spicy sauce on the spicy chicken was underwhelming and I found out after the fact that they can’t get orders correct to save their life
KFC is not good but they are better than Popeyes
