Should be plenty of time to ask them if the spicy chicken has different spices in the breading.
lol
It's amazing - they could seriously challenge to be a top-tier fast food place but their service just sucks so bad.
Full story
Would’ve been a better story if you tried to eat it in 2 bites and posted the video hereYeah I was tempted to just take the $15 loss but that sandwich is so damn good
No sandwich is worth that sort of aggravation. We differ greatly, GB. Why didn't you just park and walk inside the building, order to go?Yeah I was tempted to just take the $15 loss but that sandwich is so damn good
Title does say burger and chicken (which I admittedly sort of read as fast food sandwich), but the OP then describes the rules as "meat between 2 buns with stuff on it." So, that opens up the door a little. Why would anyone compare chicken to burgers anyway?
Pretty sure it was drive through only due to the whole coronavirus lockdown
Yep, I’ve had it twice on recent years (LV and Phoenix) and have no clue why people rave about it like they do. In fact, In n Out is pretty low on my list.
To be fair this may be somewhat regional. Gas stations around here always sucked. Only in the last 10 years did they start with the large, clean places and start serving food. I’m not going to try it but it doesn’t seem quite as repulsive as it used to.
The Burger King in my area still have it. It may not be on the menu but they will still do it. I actually prefer getting the Rodeo King Jr. (trying to watch my figure...hahaha). The original is good but it's too much (not that I can't put it down, mind you...….I just shouldn't). The only draw back on the Rodeo King Jr is that it's not an official known choice so I have to describe it which sometimes becomes an ordeal if the order taker isn't very bright.
To be fair, I haven't had the Popeye's sandwich everybody is raving about, but both times I went, they were out. If you can't deliver the goods, I'm not waiting around on you. Prior to this, Popeyes food was just okay. I had it enough times to make a determination. Hard for me to fathom that they just figured out how to make terrific food the last year +.
You're brainwashed by having a minimum of 5 Wendy's right off every single exit of 75 or 71 in that state of yours. Your opinion doesn't count. I am disappointed in GM though
I have 2 Wendy's, 1 Popeye's and 2 Chick-Fil-A's within about a 2 mile radius. When we do go to CFA, I get the spicy chicken. Every time. It's their best sandwich. I've had the Popeye's sandwich once.You're brainwashed by having a minimum of 5 Wendy's right off every single exit of 75 or 71 in that state of yours. Your opinion doesn't count.

If I'm setting Wendy's Spicy as the standard, I'll give it a 10. CFA is a 9 and Popeye's a 7.
All are good.

This is a pretty interesting point -- how does a restaurant that specializes in breaded chicken face supply chain issues with getting chicken and bread to stores. I get that it was a new offering that likely underestimated demand, and there was a viral thing about it that exacerbated it further, but it's not like this was Taco Bell shifting to sell waffles or McDonald's getting into the takeout Chinese game -- chicken is Popeye's primary offering.
Wendy's used to be my favorite when they used something other than straight cayenne to make their "spice". It had flavor. It wasn't just "hot". When that changed, the meat went from a nice juicy chunk of white meat to hockey puck and they changed the bun too. All this happened here about the same time they changed their fries.

I just wanted to point out that you should not be 100% absolute about the no gas station rule. The place I linked is not your typical gas station! You can read a lot more about it in this thread. (Upon looking, it seems you have participated in that thread, so you should know better!)
CFA is such a different chicken sandwich than anywhere else. The chicken is high quality, juicy and flavorful, but the breading is very minimalist and doesn't pack the crunch that I crave from a chicken sandwich. Wendy's and Popeye's bring this, but Wendy's chicken itself IMHO lacks the juiciness and flavor that CFA has. Popeye's changes this. The chicken is high quality, juicy, flavorful, and the breading is perfectly crunchy, plus I think the pickles are higher quality than CFA. The only thing it lacks is that the spicy chicken sandwich is not remotely spicy. The chicken itself is the same as the regular chicken sandwich, but there is a "spicy" mayo on it which tastes good, but lacks spice. Popeyes >>>> CFA >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Wendy's
Reposting from another thread. It's the best fast food chicken sandwich I've ever had. Teenage son agrees. TERRIBLE service.Yes. And they love the gays. But, 100% true story: The very cute drive-thru girl, who was black (I am old and fat and white, but had my family in the car) NEVER SAID ONE WORD TO ME. Opened the window, took my money. It went like this:
Me: Hi there.
Her:
My son: Hmm....she didn't want to talk to you dad.
Me: Nope.
*one minute goes by*
Her: [opens window, hands me my change]
Me: THANKS!
Her: [window is closed...no response]
My son: Man Dad, she REALLY does not want to talk to you!
*3 minutes go by*
Her: [opens window, hands me our bag of food]
Me: Thanks!! So much!!I really apprec-
Her:
Me: -iate it!!!!
My son:
Dearest Popeyes -
Had Popeye's again yesterday. Didn't change my rankings.I have 2 Wendy's, 1 Popeye's and 2 Chick-Fil-A's within about a 2 mile radius. When we do go to CFA, I get the spicy chicken. Every time. It's their best sandwich. I've had the Popeye's sandwich once.

Good call. I used to eat I think it was called the American one? with lettuce tomato cheese and mayo all the time
Still want to try one. Both Popeyes that I drive by have been closed down by the health department multiple times for sanitary violations so I think I will wait awhile.
Stopped at the my first Freddy's today and grabbed the patty melt. A really good sandwich.
