Outrageously small portions, fishy food prep, and frustrating shortages: this is the shady business that Popeyes has tried to get away with.

What do you think is the worst item on the Popeyes menu?
Well it's official you are going to sued.
The chicken by far!!
The biscuits suck.
Overpriced.
Very overpriced.
Right the prices are to high and if you try to call the number and make a complaint nobody don't answer the phone anymore bad bussiness they want you to tex the food is nasty now anyways 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
I miss the Cajun rice
Video provider....I was a supervisor at Popeyes for over 7 years Never saw a "Pre-Breaded" spicy tender in my store. Hmmm ? Also, whoever talked about leaving the spicy chicken under heat lamps longer than not or until someone complains. Nope, Sorry get with the "Serv Safe" program. Popeyes has product quality times to follow like other concepts. Staff just needs to be trained and follow procedures. Stop trying to save money and serve good product. Most of this bad quality chicken stuff happens from Lazy, not properly trained cooks that don't know when and how much certain chicken to drop at certain times.
The rice and beans are awesome !
It’s not Popeyes it’s the Popeyes franchisee owners 😂
Right ❤😂😂😂😂😂
Popeyes sucks nowadays, a far cry from what it was during my childhood
Real far cry!
Man Popeyes is a far cry from what they use to be smh I'm talking about 80s and 90s Popeyes
You got that right.
So sad. I used to love them - 20 years ago 💔 💔💔
NASTY NOW 🍗🍗🍗🤮🤮🤮🤮
no one is ever at the drive thru....now i know why. Had it once....stomach pains.
They just opened a Popeyes here in Salem( Oregon), and I noticed that!
Nooo! Not Popeyes too. I guess I'll just have to cook my chicken at home. No wait, I already do.:)
Popeyes is kinda overrated... I've had a number of times... it's decent but nothing to write home about
Chipotle is also overrated- they skim on meat yet $20 plus for double meat. Literally just paying for beans and rice 😂
The smallest chicken pieces I have ever seen. More costly than KFC.
does taste better than kfc though
Not really @@wayneandrews7018
All the more reason to cook at home 🤨!
Popeyes has the worst service
I miss Church's Chicken (Are they even still in business?)
They're still around. I honestly was never that impressed with Church's. It's been years since I've been to one, however, since there aren't any locations anywhere close to where I live.
there is one near my house, and their fried chicken is unbelievable, it’s so busy you have to wait like 30 mins every time
They have 3 in Charlotte nc only one of them has a drive thru. That's the eastway drive location
There are quite a few in Chicago. I prefer them over Popeyes
Yeah, they're owned by Popeyes
It's not good, unfortunately. Quality control is terrible
The best thing about Popeyes is that it's not Churches.
Believe it or not, I went to Popeyes last week in Sanford, North Carolina and they were out of ketchup. 😂😂😂
People think I'm being sarcastic when I say that Popeye's specializes in uncooked chicken. They HAVE that reputation! When I got Popeye's chicken, I never ate it there. I took it home and froze everything. Then, I will put them in the oven when I am ready to eat them, allowing me to make sure it actually IS cooked. Finally, I just gave up, because it just wasn't worth going miles out of my way just to get chicken I wasn't impressed with anyway. The only thing I got when I walked past one is a bunch of their blackened ranch sauce packets. Recently, I've decided it's just easiest to make my own. Did you know blackened seasoning is actually RED?! The coloring darkens when you heat it. Been going to Raising Cane a lot recently. So much better. They're better than KFC too, but then so is everyone these days. But I still miss Pioneer Chicken - they were the best. Fun fact: Popeye's Chicken is not named after the sailorman. It is named after Eddie Egan, whose nickname was "Popeye." He was the cop who, with his partner Sonny Grosso, busted the so-called French Connection drug ring, and he inspired the character of Popeye Doyle in the movie with Gene Hackman and Roy Scheider. But, of course, that never stopped the restaurant from licensing the cartoon character for occasional promotions.
JJ's Fish and Chicken opened up here in Georgia in my town! Never went to Popeye's again!
Back in 2014/15. I went there and they were out of chicken and asked if I could wait. Well, I was jonsing and said sure. The nice staff doubled my order for free because of the delay.
I have not eaten in a Popeyes in a couple of years. It was getting worse out of items ,cold fries. Wrong items ,wait
Here in NYC I got sticker shock the last time I eat at Popeyes. I haven't been back since. It's been about a year.
Popeyes has the worst customer service in the country! The employees are always rude.
It's funny when people complain about fast food. Also known as Russian roulette. After all, what type of quality do you expect from a bunch of kids that are getting paid minimum wage and have no culinary background.
But yet they want $20 an hour.
I’ve been to 3 different live concerts of his. All were awesome! ❤
It depends on where you go one location sevice maybe better than the other
Never had a issue with our local Popeyes. 🤷♂️
2024 I Love Harold's Fried Chicken Shack in Chicago, Illinois. (southside)
Fun fact, not all locations have pre breaded spicy tenders, my location tosses everything in the fryer, only thing frozen is fish and shrimp (when we have it)
Browns and Harold's chicken are my go too
Never had anything but great, hot food from Popeyes. Whomever did this video must be either very hard to please, or a competitor. I love Popeyes!
Small Portions? Popeyes?
yeah their spicy chicken sandwich is really the regular sandwich, they just put some hot sauce on it 😂
I don't go near any Popeyes fast food getups if they don't even have any items with Spinach in their menu!!lol!!!
This so true, the one in my neighborhood never has drinks and mic at menus never works or the inside is not open- GO TO LEES CHICKEN 😅
Don’t eat at Popeyes when traveling. My wife agreed to eat there when traveling and they screwed up the order big time. My white meat ended up being a wing, leg and a thigh. They couldn’t even get the flavor correct.
The food and drinks are great, but it’s overpriced and it has small portions
The stores in the PNW don't offer crawfish :(
Calling Popeyes " Louisiana Kitchen" is an insult to Cajun/ Creole cooking. Which is considered one of the best cuisines in the world.
My popeyes in columbia S.C. is always full at the drive thru. And have a 2 piece and biscut on tuesdays for 2.50. I love their shrimp.
They raise prices weekly, like a truck stop.
Tenders 11 piece for 33 dollars that is crazy
This is true of KFC as well...
The only item i get from there are the rice and beans, which are very good.
You can do this for any restaurant brand in the country. Even peoples beloved Chick fil a. You can also do videos that show customers who rave certain brands. One location is not indicative to an entire brand. Popeyes is best in class for bone in chicken. If you havent tried them in a while, then go visit one and form your own opinion. You will be pleasantly surprised.
The whole food industry is shady at least 93% it wasn’t like that back then tho
1st time I had their first chicken tenders I said nope not again it don't taste as good as their.otjer fried foods. Im just gonna stick to regular chicken, fries, biscuits and shrimp.
Sometimes the food is great and other times it's terrible!
i stop getting shrimp on popeyes for about 2 years now cause i also got the poop vein, now i get their chicken sandwich no mayo, sweet heat pour on that badboy evrytime
Sounds like somebody needs a nap!!! This same story was told awhile ago! The talk about how bad the food is, I’ve had the same foul, nasty crap at Kentucky Fried Chicken!! If you’re going to trash one company do the same with the other!! It’s called being freaking FAIR!!!! GOOH!!!!
I don’t go to Popeyes, before they offered the chicken sandwich. Service was awful, food boring.
Yes so true..no chicken. And they will take your money..and I also had spoiled red beans n rice. Mac n cheese very overcooked was disappointed at many occasions..so I decided not to visit.
The spicy tenders DO NOT COME pre breaded. N yes the chrisp issues has everything to do with the one who is battering it ( doing it wrong) . Reason being is ma
I would go to your drive thru anytime.
I stopped eating at my local Popeyes once they stopped accepting orders from their app.
I miss having a Popeyes near me. :/
Although I'm 5 minutes walking from a Popeyes Chicken I still feel you. We've been without a Popeyes Chicken for at least 20 years. Now they are everywhere.
Love that chicken from Popeyes
Chicken 101. There are only 4pcs of chicken. If you can’t them straight you should work at Popeyes.
I'm not concerned with vegan options. They should stay home anyway. They can't complain.
Jolllibees
they need to stop the halal chicken here in the uk
That's ridiculous. I'm sorry to hear this.
if it's not for you, don't buy it, lol
Who’s still going there 😂 I haven’t been there in a long, long time
Pretty sure the customers are the worst based on all the complaining. Grow up.
Nobody says New Or Leans'. It's New Or' Lans. That's my mean comment for today. Thank you.
or in the south it’s pronounced NawLins 😂
It's N'awlins... Born and raised here in NOLA.
Copland died and took the recipes with him
I much prefer chick filet
Personally, I prefer Popeye's to Chick-fil-A.
Seriously, though, your parents must be related if you really think that! 😂😂😂
Not a Popeye fan.
Me either. Olive Oil is fine though. Lmfao 😂 😂
A true vegan wouldn't eat at a chicken restaurant.
This channel shows desperation by quoting people from Reddit.
Don't get butt hurt just because you still like that Garbage ass popeye's bullshit... Sorry son but they definitely fell off a while ago and everybody knows it!!! 😂😂😂 Their chicken tenders, which was my favorite from there are now literally the size they used to be😂😂😂 and almost double the price now😂😂😂
They are very very over Priced. And serve old food.
Our Davenport Iowa Popeyes SUCKS
Offering options for non meat eaters is a questionable practice, like yeah vegetarians/vegans need to eat too, but how are you not ok eating something that TOUCHED meat, but you are ok financially supporting one of the largest purchasers of chicken???? It's extremely hypocritical imo, so I'm kind of glad the beyond meat movement pretty much failed. You can't advocate that meat eating is unethical & then fork over your money to exactly what you're advocating against. So to even mention that is kinda laughable.
Inlive their chicken tender
Fast food is bad for you so maybe don't eat it anymore and just go to a nicer place less often
If you want amazing chicken tenders go to Zaxby's I ain't there for the first time 2 days ago and I've been there four times since they are amazing and their fries are awesome too
Popeyes.. was the best... it still is
Not if you live in New Orleans. Ugh
@@lynda74 i can only imagine
Wingstop and KFC are the best deals in chicken. Better price per piece or overall quantity
You're wrong but it's ok.
Jollibees
@@ElBigRican that's not an argument
Lolz….i can’t help but feeling this entire channel’s content “source” is just twits or reddit comments….great for entertainment I guess….
KFC garbage too
I agree with you, right nasty yuck🤮🍗🤮🍗🤮🍗😂😂😂😂😂
It is probably a business decision. They would rather run out than throw food away, or sell old food the next day as many businesses do.
Popeyes slaps. This is all goofy criticisms. I've never not gotten an amount of food that didn't feel like it was enough for the money. I've literally never had any issues with my local stores being out of food, either.
Liar..
It sucks here in New Orleans.
Not rasict. Fact
They do this as a corporation style pratical joke
Why don’t Popeyes sell rotisserie chicken
Aww hush. Picky
Typical shady business model ( we'll call it the trump )
Well, it is a Christian business.
Shady just like churches!!
Sorry, but that chicken has more breading on it than meat😂😂😂. The only thing I'd buy from there are biscuits... The mashed potatoes are good too.. But you have to burp just to taste it. The portions are so small😂😂😂The chicken tenders were good, but now they are half the size and almost double the price from just 3 years ago (thank you brandon)😂😂😂 popeye's no thank you!!! Better off getting a $5 rotisserie chicken at Costco and actually be full after my meal😂😂😂😂
Popeyes is great when it's fresh.
If employees spent one third the time working, as they spend on their cell phones while at work, the place would make a million dollars a month. But, you can't get these sad ass lazy do nothing employees to put that damn phone down. That's why I never go there!
When I ordered mashed potatoes on 2 consecutive Thursday afternoons thru the drive thru only to discover a bag loaded with french fries which I didn't want or order. Do it once and you have an idiot at the store. The second week same thing. They know damn well you are not driving back once home with the wrong order. Corporate office doesn't do a damn thing and the local Popeyes keep their phone off the hook. Not going back. They cheat.
