Popeye's Chicken & Biscuits

I'm a sucker for the fried chicken night at Watershed, the Sunday Supper at JCT or Eugene, and the nostalgic fried chicken at the Busy Bee. But to perfectly honest... my favorite fried chicken in Atlanta (or anywhere), is Popeye's. I have no clue how they do it. It's crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Even the white meat is just perfectly moist. And somehow they manage to spice the bird UNDER the skin (*always order it spicy*) so that way your lips don't catch fire but the spice sort of hits ya on the back end. I know people rave about their red beans and rice, but I've been persuaded by their cajun fries and stick with that. Crispy, seasoned, perfection. My only complaint is their biscuits. Considering the fact they have ""biscuits"" in the name... you'd think they'd be a little better. They get a star knocked off for that. Pros: Righteous fried chicken Cons: Bad biscuits more

Since I've moved to Atlanta, my one and only addition has become Popeye's Cajun shrimp pac! The best for the midday craving in midday traffic! I need to own stock! Pros: menu selection, flavorful, snack pacs Cons: slow in rush hour more

This is one of my favorite guilty pleasures. Give me a 3 piece combo dark and spicy with a side of rice and beans and I am one happy man. Warning: It is greasy, bad for you, the service stinks and the stores are usually less then presentable. But the chicken.. ....aaaaaahhhhhh... .. .. the chicken, the chicken.. (drool) more

Anyone who chose this place obviously hasn't had real fried chicken. The best chicken in this town is found at Grammy's Buffet in Sandy Springs, right off Roswell Rd. Best chicken I've had in AGES. more

Great place to go when you get a craving! My husband loves the jambalaya. I love the crawfish, when it's available. They sell items that you can't find at any typical chicken place. Their cajun fried turkeys are awesome! more

TOO MUCH CRUST. Just not that good a product. Its KFC w/ cayenne powder in the batter. more

Love the food. Home of serious flavor! The new image for the restaurants is excellent!! It's not just chicken. I love the Jambalaya, Shimp Po'Boy sandwich and the Fried Catfish too! Don't forget the red beans ... best I ever had! Pros: Taste, Cajun Flavors, Cool looking stores Cons: Not enough of them more

has always been and still holds the title for the tastiest chicken....I am a southern girl and this chicken is the best next to my own! Pros: food fresh, food always hot, buildingvery artistic Cons: friendlier employees, prices could be lower more

It shows you how culinarily challenged we are when Atlanta, the heart of the South, votes Popeye's #1 and Publix Super Market #2. What's next, Best Pastry - Kripy Creme? Cons: Best to be a Con more

Popeyes is the best chicken around....spicy and just right like in LA......keep up the good work and I'll keep on eating it daily! more

This chicken is soooo juicy and so tender...I am salivating at the thought of it. ""Love that Chicken from Popeyes""....the sides are fabulous too..go for the spicy chicken..absolute best! more

The spicy fried chicken here really adds something speacial! Even though this is just fast food, I think they have the best fried chicken around! more
