I tried it a few times when it came to my area after hearing people rave for years, and I feel the same. It's good, but that's it. On par with KFC.
Popeye's is way better in my opinion. It's also cheaper, and the staff tend to be pretty entertaining in an unintentional and chaotic way. It's the only fast food restaurant where employees are consistently very honest. Like, if they don't have red beans because somebody fucked them up, I have been told exactly that.
“You get what you get. NEXT!”
Ngl the raw “you think I give a fuck about this job?” attitude their employees give off is super refreshing compared to the saccharine, focus tested to death, mandatory prompts that pass as conversation at Chic-Fila
I like the customer service and overall quality of the place, I've never seen a bad store. I'm not crazy about their chicken (Popeyes is better imo), it's not the best but you'll never roll the dice on whether you got what you ordered or if there is a problem. Also, from what I hear, they pay very competitively and take care of their employees (could be wrong).
I haven't deliberately eaten there in years (occasionally I'll have it if it's catered or if everyone else wants to go), because they have really terrible politics and support things I disagree with.
Also, the place has a vibe I hate, like preppy kids mixed with a church function. It just feels fake, the smiles, the "my pleasure", etc. it feels so fake it's unsettling to me. I like Popeyes because while I have to check my order to make sure it's ok, the person behind the counter is a normal person not a plastic cutout.
I'd put it on par with Wendy's. Above KFC, but I still wouldn't go out of my way for it. But I've also only had it at catered work functions when it wasn't fresh, so I am a little biased. And fuck them, I don't give bigot chicken my money, so I guess I'll never know what it tastes like fresh.
At it's best it's fast food chicken. I'll never understand the hubub.
Its closed on sundays(which is fun because they get contracts to operate in airports and throughway rest stops), and the owners have that whole anti gay thing going on.
