Ric Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I would've preferred a bit more heat but they were decent. Next time even if they still had them(don't eat there much so they probably won't) I'd go back to the sandwich. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortir Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Huh I have not had Popeye's in a long time the nearest one is like twenty miles away. Maybe tomorrow I will plan on taking a trip over there. Not tonight it is probably too late and Sunday most places close early anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortir Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I definetely prefer Popeye's to KFC. Pretty much any chicken place besides KFC. KFC is just pretty terrible most times. Maybe it is better in other places but the one around here is blah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini_ghost420 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 If I had a Popeye's near me I'd already be eating them right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortir Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I am always down for some spicey wings. As long as they have some flavor and not just burn your mouth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobdog Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 The Popeye's in town just opened. Â Not sure my guts can handle it right about now since I've had so little greasy food the last 6-7 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsar4 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Not worth the 2.5 mi drive. The last two times I got chicken there, the oil had been heated past the smoke point, so everything tasted burnt. Maybe when they open the new one nearer to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackNoir Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 As a dude who grew up eating hot food all his life, I no longer desire to have my food hurt me. At one time it was a common thing but now I just don;t see the point. But if I can get my hands on some atomic fire balls....I'll still eat those. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think some restaurant was using that name on Diners, Drive-In's & Dives for pepper infused hushpuppies or some other appetizer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sieg67 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I've never been to a fast food joint that actually had super spicy food. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah none of the stuff on the menu even makes it there without a lot of market testing and trials. I think the general public just is not interested in super spicey food.

Oh, and that verde sauce from the taco truck....It's pretty hot, but it's almost necessary due to it's unique flavor...Not sure what's in theirs that sets it apart.
