Contribute Feedback What Chris likes about Popeye's Louisiana Kitchen:
Finally walked inside ... 4th visit. Past trips the line was too long. It is by far the BEST Fried Chicken in Edmonton. Much better then KFC, Mary's Brown and that good awful Northern Chicken. 12 for 3 pieces, 2 sides and large drink ... higher than the chains but much cheaper then Northern Chicken(gave them a 2 on all levels) . Menu was limited compared to it's USA locations ... the chicken was Very Good but not E... View all feedback.
Spicy chicken with biscuits all day long. Now that the line ups slowed and you are not waiting 45-1hr for food it becomes a much more pleasant experience. Love the biscuits here and the spicy chicken is so much more flavourful to the reg. Cajun fries are good but not sure I am a fan of the gravy. Either way...a bit on the pricy side but comparable to good fried chicken in the city. Given the choice between this and the other fried chicken chain hands down a winner. Although I would go to the other place for gravy.
Maybe not as good as the hype, but good fried chicken. The fries had a nice slight kick, I liked them. I liked the rice and red beans. Biscuits were decent. I didn't care much for the gravy. I'll go back.
Crazy busy place. If you want to drop by and grab something quick at dinner time its not likely going to happen. Line up to the door during peak hours. Despite that service is reasonably fast.As for the food chicken in every form is great and the have a large selection of sides. First visit or two its hard to pick but the biscuits and gravy are recommended.
I am a fried chicken lover who wants to get out of the KFC phase. I had Korean Friend Chicken to replace that a while back but that got expensive very quickly (It Dog, Seoul Fried Chicken, Coco, Pelicana, etc). Mary Brown 's felt greasy depending on the location you visit (Mayfield and Oliver are the two best I 've encountered). Popeyes is my true calling... the bang for your buck, the fresh, non-greasy, juicy pieces of chicken are well worth the wait. Although there are only two flavours, I feel that it 's enough. I alternate between the original flavour and the spicy version. Sometimes I just get half and half. <br/ <br/ One thing I would caution is that you come just for the chicken. The biscuits, although good, are more like a palate cleaner and an obstacle to your chicken. The fries were good but greasy and small portioned. When I came here there was about an hour wait from ordering to actually sitting down to eat. I 'd say it was worth it. I don 't know what the lines are like now but just use Google Maps to see the 'live traffic ' at the storefront. It must collect location data from every Google User 's phone to paint you that picture. Whatever, Google surveillance is better than other forms of surveillance. Crowd-sourcing data for the win!
I got their spicy 8 piece chicken and side of regular fries and a side gravy. The fries was $2.99 for a regular size, and it came with one of those small paper bag (like the small size they used to have at McDonald's), not even packed full. I will say for $2.99, it is a bit overpriced, for fries! Seriously! But the chicken though, super juicy and so much flavor, and the gravy? It's different but also so good! Not sure about dining in experience though. I read a couple reviews about it, but I mean... It is a fast food restaurant... So I will never expect anything at all. Overall, I will come back for chicken and the gravy, but unless they upsize the fries, feel like it's a bit of a rip off to get the fries!
