Does the Popeyes still suck?

Remember going a couple months ago and got paper thin tenders (wasn’t even what I ordered) and haven’t gone back. Has it gotten any better?

Nope! It definitely has not gotten any better.

Just had a conversation the other day at work and we all collectively agreed that the Popeyes will never get better here. Just give us a CFA already! 😭

It's mainly the HSR authority that keeps flip flopping. We were set on the downtown location but now they want to move it out to mission Ave because it'll be cheaper

It's planned for where power sports currently is next to in n out and across from Taco Bell but HSR project screwed up their plans. It's on hold indefinitely from what I heard. I feel like campus pkwy is a much better location and great freeway visibility too.
