I've never been to one before but I keep hearing that they have the most amazing food.
I don't think it'll be for a long time, but are all the reviews true? Truly the most excellent food ever?

Personally, I don't care for it, but everyone's tastes are different. Hope you enjoy it and it's not a disappointment.

I visited the Popeyes at St Charles Ave in New Orleans and yes, the chicken was good. I had never seen fried chicken so thickly coated, not a soft spot to be found. Inside the coating, it was tender and tasty. All we've got here is standard KFC and countless knock-off joints with names like 'TENNESSEE FRIED CHICKEN aka TFC, and the snide FIVE LADS peri peri shack in Leyton, East London.
Some of the names are funny if only for their incongruence along the urban streets of the UK. MIAMI FRIED CHICKEN (in East Croydon) is one example. Some shops don't know what they are so they come up with names like CHICKPIZZ (East London) and some shops just don't care how ridiculous they look in the Yellow Pages, like FERFECT FRIED CHICKEN in Forest Hill. Not Perfect, Ferfect. Best explained by somebody other than me :
American States are not unpopular names for fried chicken joints in the UK. Is yours here?
ALASKA FRIED CHICKEN (how ridiculous does that look in urban Manchester?) ARIZONA FRIED CHICKEN (in sunny Rochdale, Lancashire) CALIFORNIA FRIED CHICKEN FLORIDA FRIED CHICKEN GEORGIA FRIED CHICKEN KANSAS FRIED CHICKEN MICHIGAN FRIED CHICKEN MISSISSIPPI FRIED CHICKEN MONTANA FRIED CHICKEN OHIO FRIED CHICKEN TENNESSEE FRIED CHICKEN TEXAS FRIED CHICKEN (I just can't help but see the image of a nervous chicken propped up in the electric chair) VIRGINIA FRIED CHICKEN (no, that just don't look right, uh-uh)
There is also a MARYLAND CHICKEN in Leicester but this doesn't count because it's not MARYLAND FRIED CHICKEN. It wouldn't surprise me if all these places got their poultry from the same supplier and they all serve the same greasy horrid stuff that in America is done so much better. I will eat KFC and that's it, I'm afraid. I ain't no food snob but there are limits.
I think my favourite 'chicken shop' name is, funnily enough, FAVOURABLE CHICKEN (alas no FRIED) in Hither Green. I mean, that's a quirky choice, like it was randomly plucked out of a thesaurus page listing all things pleasant; or they ran out of sign letters I, T and E and only had A, B, L and E - but, hey, that'll work. But more importantly, 'favourable' to what? I've never tried to find out.

One is opening here too autumn!! Maybe we live in the same town? Jk There is a popeyes about 10 miles from here. So I have been. Be careful about the spice level. Get the non- spicy choice unless you like things spicy. I like it a lot. My husband thinks it is too greasy. He gets chicken and fries. I get chicken and green beans. Even the green beans are SPICY! THE biscuit is delicious!

I absolutely adore Popeyes but my stomach has a habit of disagreeing. Enjoy it though, one of the better fast food locations imo.

Just posted elsewhere. I like the biscuits and cajun mashed with gravy at both my locations. The new chicken sandwich is really good, and they have daily deals midweek. Enjoy!

Their commercials just always look so good. One thing I don't like is lots of excessive breading if it's hard, and if the inside chicken is tough. (I'm a tough customer). lol
