They definitely took a nosedive down when they decided to get rid of their potato wedges and replace them with, quite frankly, the worst fries I've ever had at a fast food joint.

Their chicken sandwhich is so good & crispy. I love their fries & ice tea. Church's is good too, as well as Raising Cane's, Zaxbys & Wingstop. A lot of times, price-wise, you can't beat your local grocery store for chicken dinners, tenders, nuggets & wings.

[@fastnbulbous5115]

@@marydavis5234I’m in agreement with you. I’m up north where they’re not as common and for years I wanted to try it, as I’ve heard many people rave about it. They built one an hour north of me about a year ago and when I finally got a chance to try it I was extremely disappointed. The chicken was rather bland, lacking flavor and the fries and biscuit were very poor. I tried it a second time to see if it was just an off day and no my opinion hasn’t changed

[@gilbertspader7974]

Bojangles seasoning is the key. Get extra seasoning on the frys!!!!!

Another great video. I really like how you guys wore shirts matching the color of the company’s packaging color scheme. How about doing something similar to this but only chicken sandwiches and include Chick-fil-et, Raising Canes, McDonalds, BK, Jack n the Box, and other places. Basically the most popular fast food places.

I really like Popeye's red beans and rice but those did not look right. They should have been a bit soupier.

[@MrRavager420]

i worked at popeys for about a year. they didnt add enough bunn water or it sat for over 2 hours...in which case they shouldve added a splash of bunn water and stirred before serving or thrown away. you only need water and about 5 minutes for the potatoes and red beans. bunn water is just water that is a few degrees from boiling from the bunn (brand) dispenser. we also used that to clean the floors. on my break i would get a side of red beans and rice with some hot sauce. they really are good lol

As someone who worked at KFC years ago, unless they've changed, it is a dried flakes mashed potato mix in a bag. So you guessed right on that. I've never tried Popeyes, but there's one close near me. Maybe someday. The coleslaw is one thing I had to make. Hated doing it because I hated the smell, tried it once but once was enough to never want it again. I like breaking the chicken up in the mashed potatoes and eating it that way. The KFC biscuit looked odd to me. Ours we made were always light and fluffy.

[@amberjones9520]

[@fablespinner]

When you got to the pie and mentioned old school McDonald’s Apple pie I wanted to weep. It was my first part time job as a freshman in college. It was 1989 when they swapped the beef tallo out with vegetable oil and stopped frying pies and baking them. It’s never tasted the same since. It was that ‘health craze’ time. I mean it’s McDonald’s, not even the salad is healthy. Eat healthy at home! Fast food was always a treat when I was young, not a daily food option. I miss those pies. Only Hawaii in the states (and Asian countries) have fried pies still.

Did you tell the restaurants that you were doing a video? I ask because the tenders that I am getting from KFC are very small - between 1/3 to 1/2 the size of the ones you got. You should compare the spicy tenders from each.

[@johnlabus7359]

I could tell you the winner before you took your first bite. Another chain that kicks KFC is Bojangles. While it's got a limited menu, Raising Canes has the best chicken tenders IMO.

[@MAGGOT_VOMIT]

Great review!! Both KFC and Popeye's compliment each other because you can get tired of one or the other rather quickly and need a refreshing change. One major difference that always gives KFC the edge for me is, that after the chicken goes cold, whether or not you heat the chicken back up, the Popeye's always tastes like shite. Even cold the next day in the fridge, KFC chicken is just as awesome.

[@thebritstry]

That is a great comment! And something we hadn’t thought about !

[@Shawna1976-n1k]

For me it is KFC chicken, mashed potatoes Popeyes biscuits and mac and cheese.

[@leslieg.9213]

My grandmother used to make mashed potatoes that looked exactly like KFC's. For what it's worth, Popeye's sodium content is higher than KFC. That's something to keep in mind. I only eat fried foods maybe two or three times a year. I eat Popeye's chicken sandwiches or KFC's meal.

[@neoncatfish4038]

I think red beans and rice is more of a Louisiana dish! As a Texan I like red beans and rice. So I think that is where the least favorite comes in. Popeyes Cajun gravy it's kind of like the start of gumbo! You start the dish with Trinity (onions, bell peppers, celery) and of course some Cajun seasoning! KFC's has a original version, and a extra crispy version of chicken! So to compare KFC's and Popeyes together better you would need to get the crispy chicken. And a little secret on both KFC's and Popeyes, if you go to a high volume location! The chicken especially the biscuits will be better! And you always, use your biscuits to dip in the mashed potatoes and gravy!

[@thebritstry]

Thanks for sharing the wisdom. Next time we will definitely try the dip test😊

[@infaredsinsor1]

Popeyes > KFC on every level. It's not even a fair competition. Although I have to say the spicy chicken sandwich at KFC was on point when I tried it. It's about the only thing I will order from there. You need to put Popeye's up against Bojangles.

[@dirtyfiendswithneedles3111]

Chic fil A is the definition of over priced and mediocre. The service is always good though however in no way does that put them in the same league as Bojangles. I

[@dirtyfiendswithneedles3111]

Also, another positive would be the waffle fries but that is all I can think of. Heard good things about their pimento cheese chicken sandwich but I havent tried it because it is just way too much to pay for a sandwich.

[@michellet2024]

When I've tried the rice and beans at the Popeyes near me, the beans are always on top with the rice on the bottom, so maybe that makes a difference? Also, I can understand why coleslaw is not your favorite. I had the coleslaw at a KFC in Birmingham England and there was SO much mayonnaise that I couldn't eat it, and I love coleslaw. The US version is better. Thanks for another fun video as always. BTW I agree with your winner. KFC is good, but a lot of why I like it is because it's familiar and nostalgic. I love the crispiness of Popeyes.

Both these companies copied Chick-fil-a in terms of the packaging, toppings and presentation of their chicken sandwiches. They're both crap compared to the original I used to buy in my local mall 40 years ago.

You can’t pay me to eat at KFC. I work there and instead of cleaning the floor they let you slide around on greasy oil floors. Now the biscuit the first time I watched, the manager made the biscuit. She dropped the tube of fake butter on the floor.😳 She proceeded to pick up the tube that was fully open when she dropped it and just picked it up off the greasy floor and dropped it in to the batter to make the biscuits. I will say this the manager did look around to see if they were any customers that had seen that she dropped the tube off fake butter on the floor before she picked it up and put it in to the flour mixture. 🤯 Now I understand these practices can be at any fast food establishment, or restaurant and I’m sure that happens quite often because people have no scruples and don’t care about the customers well-being or Giving them quality product. I know this isn’t at all places. Some just care about the bottom line. Please keep in mind. This was well over 30 years ago. Thank you

That might be the case! We definitely have to try it again to see if this was just a strange batch. Thanks for the info!

[@HDCalame]

@@thebritstry They also have a dish called 'dirty rice' you could try. Its better than the rice and beans.

[@brendahowell6796]

I agree. Popeyes all the way!

I know people who like KFC mashed potatoes and gravy so much, they would make a meal out of it for lunch. Nothing else.

The strange spice in the red beans and rice is liquid smoke extract I believe

[@thebritstry]

Thanks for the information !

[@marlies7444]

I agree. I hope you retry the rice and beans. I'm sure it was just something off.

Biscuits are best with butter and dipped in gravy and mashed potatoes ;) Eating them plain is just too dry

[@thebritstry]

I couldn't agree more! Butter and gravy really take biscuits to the next level. Thanks for watching
