I tried one without the bun because they were out. It was nothing to write home about and people were even fighting in Popeyes because of it.https://youtu.be/o7vgOAhBiWw

Just saw it on the news lolol. I’m gonna get a Burger King taco instead. No fighting over there

Stay away from that new veggie Whopper MaryAnn. A friend of mine had one and he said he could barely keep it down. Their taco even looks better, so you'll be safer too. LOL

I read somewhere that the taco’s are actually a partnership thing with Taco Bell, and I like Taco Bell, the Gordoto Crunch is my fav. Won’t be doing the veggie burger. Yuk!

The only thing I will get at McD's is a breakfast sammich, or fries. Everything else is horrible. Arby's is good, but anymore if I eat fast food I will get a chicken sammy.

Gary, your friend is crazy, I've eaten close to a dozen of them since Aug 6th.

You need to watch the reviews on YouTube, probably 98% positive in favor of the IM Whopper.

BTW, BK franchises are having trouble getting enough patties at this time, and when they run out you won't be able to get them until the new plant in NC is up in operation.

2 out of 3 of the local franchises ran out of patties this past weekend. For something that is a bad as your friend says they are, they're selling a helluva a lot of product. I just talked to the manager of our local BK and she's down to only 16 patties at lunch today.

As soon there is a fight over something BK sells, THAT will be news worthy...

I really enjoy a good chicken sandwich. I'll have to try the new Popeyes one. Since Chick-fil-A finally opened a restaurant here, I've had MANY of them and probable have not had a chicken sandwich anywhere but there.

[mgarblik]

Not sure about your local locations, but two Popeyes we have tried to get food at had the worst service EVER at a fast food restaurant. Tried to order some chicken at one in Ashland, OH on the way to Norwalk and the surly order taker announced that it would be "at least 20 minutes for chicken and I doubt any of you want to wait for it". Really, a chicken fast food place with no chicken. The second experience was similar. Out of most chicken items with a really long wait. Order taker slower than slow, busy texting, joking with co-workers, and generally mocking the way the place was being run and how lame management was. Also made a point to let us know that they were looking for a new job! No worries having me hire you, that's for damn sure. They obviously have no training program and no standards. McDonalds may have marginal food, but at least it is consistent, and you can actually get it in a few minutes. Popeyes may have the best chicken sandwich in the world, but few will ever find out.

When we went to Fremont Speedway Sat night, while in Norwalk, to get our dirt track fix, we stopped at a Rallys, and waited for 3-4 minutes for them to take our order, we just looked down the street and saw a Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken, and drove down there and ordered our dinner, much better service at that restaurant, better food too.

I really like the Popeyes chicken tenders, and their fried chicken is pretty good too. Also like the rice. BUT, the one that is local has all of the above problems. I thought it was the worst run, worst managed fast food place around but I see its not alone. Funny thing is that its been there for at least 20 yrs or more, and it has always been the same.

I was wondering what was going on at Popeye's the other day. The line was so long for the drive through it was blocking traffic on a fairly busy street. Must be one hell of a chicken sandwich.

Is a chicken sandwich without the bun even a sandwich?

There's already another discussion going on here about the Impossible Whopper.

I had to buy 2 biscuits to make it a sandwich.

We don't have Popeye's around here. We have 1 Chick Fil A, but I haven't been to it. There isn't anything worth eating at Burger King. I haven't been to a Wendy's in years. Taco Bell is so far behind Taco John's as far as taco's are concerned. McDonald's has one item I will eat - the sausage mcmuffin with egg - but only if I somehow wasn't able to have breakfast at home.

As far as the Impossible Whopper goes - from what I understand that it is even less healthy to eat than the original Whopper. The two variations have about the same number of calories and fat, but the fake whopper has 9 more grams of carbs and more salt than the real one. As I'm a diabetic - the extra 9 carbs is a problem. All of us should avoid excess salt. Seeing as how I've never had a real whopper, I see no reason to eat a fake one as I'm not a vegan.

I'm just really not a fan of almost any fast food chain. If I need something relatively fast, I'll go to a Subway or Jimmy John's and get a better and healthier meal.

So Mike brought home Burger King last night, and I tried the taco’s for the first......and last time. had heartburn all night. DQ chicken fingers are about the best fast food I’ve eaten. Just enough coating and very juicy. Mike told me all the Millennials were getting those plant burgers lol.

I call it Booger King...we have one in my town, right next to McDonalds. 3 times a day the drive through line at McD's extends all the way to the street. At the same time once in a while there may be one or two cars at Booger King...McD's fills up in morning with retiree's. Seldom see anyone in BK...

I cannot understand it, McDonalds is the worst food ever for fast food, but it is always packed! You can't say it is because of convenience, because there is usually another fast food place close to it. I will eat anything else other than McD, I do love Arby's or Chic Filet the best.

That's a personal opinion. Obviously a lot of people like McDonald's food, they just have different tastes than you. The same goes for any restaurant - some people will like their food, some won't.

I think I can answer that question. McDonalds food isn't the greatest, I grant you that. But it is fast food and it is fast. The two I frequent around here are so fast, you never have to stop in the drive thru lane once your order is placed. They have the dual lane set-up and even if there are 25-30 cars in line, you have your food in 5 minutes or less. They are cheap too, if you use the dollar menu. I can get a decent amount of food for $3.07. One cheeseburger, one Mc Chicken and a large Coke. Most of the other places mentioned in this thread are close to $10.00 for a meal. So very consistent food, very fast service, generally polite workers, generally clean, really can't ask for much else from fast food. I like certain items at BK but the locations vary greatly in service and food quality, same for Arby's and Wendy's.
