They had it at the local popeye's today - no lines.

Tried the non-spicy one and no big deal. Actually was bland and tasteless. Dont know what all the hype was about.

The spicy one is the one that's good. The non spicy one is just meh to me. To be fair, Chick-fil-A is also just meh to me

I had Popeyes 3 years ago for the first time and it was a terrible experience. From the moment I walked in to the moment i finished, everything was terrible.

Never been back.

I thought it was a huge publicity stunt. Kudos to Popeyes for the media blast. That damn sandwich is sold out most places.

I tried the spicy one a month ago. It was indeed bigger than chik fil a but it was a oily mess. The "spicy" is only in the mayo they put on it. The only good thing was the thick pickle slices. When I was finished, I felt like a fat hurting and went downstairs to work out. I also had to take a shower because I felt dirty.

Not round these parts
It is a smaller chain that has decent chicken sandwiches. It is not mind-blowing or anything. But a better option thanPopeyes or KFC

I like their red beans and rice with a crumbled up biscuit, and a shitload of hot sauce...but that's about it.

They were here, and then they all abruptly closed practically overnight:

Meh, Raising Canes if I'm eating fast food chicken. Happens like twice a year lol.
I've never heard of RC, it's not in the Chicago area. I might do Popeyes once or twice a month, seems to be the best option for FF chicken.

They closed many in my area too. There are still some left though. looks like they have survived in 11 states. I wonder if the Holy Chickfil-a Empire was just too much for them?
