And it's got to be one of the last ones with fried chicken livers.

Popeyes On Pinhook Rd In Lafayette Is Now The Only Remaining Location With A Buffet Option

Looking to eat an unlimited amount of Popeyes biscuits? Well, Lafayette, Louisiana is here to fulfill your wildest dreams.

Back in 2010, Popeyes posted that Lafayette, LA was one of only three locations with an all-you-can-eat buffet option

After making a few phone calls today, we can say that to our knowledge Lafayette, Louisiana is home to the only Popeyes buffet in the world.

When we called the location in Panama City they informed us that they got rid of their buffet option about a year ago. Online, we noticed a positive review on the buffet around late 2015, but when we called them, an employee informed us that they no longer had the buffet but were “trying to get it back.”

Located on the corner of Pinhook and South College, the Lafayette Popeyes location has seen a few modifications to their buffet—but for the most part, you can still pile your plate high with chicken, biscuits and plenty of your favorite sides while dining inside of the restaurant.

quote:

I wasn’t 100% sure, but I was almost certain there was a time where tacos, macaroni and spaghetti were once an option on the buffet line. When I asked Ms. Betty about it, she told me I was right; but those items were discontinued when Popeyes said they could only allow menu items on the buffet.
Maque Choux was available as well, as were tossed, spicy BBQ wings. They also had a to-go option, which was discontinued partly because of people like me. The 5 lb. to-go box was my late 90's jam.

It was simpler, better time.

Never even knew Popeyes had buffets.

Then again, I don't eat Popeyes because I'm not trashy

Man I wish they had more of those. Maybe now the Burger King owns them they'll bring it back.

You don't know Heaven of old. They used to have all sorts of items not on the typical menu. Used to go there on MLK day while I was in college and just feast for like 2 hours

When I was working in Panama City a few years ago, they had a buffet at one of the locations there. Had never seen one before that.

That's cool, but I'll take a dwarf house over that every day of the week (except on Sunday).

No thanks.





And to make matters worse, their chicken fingers are pre-battered and then frozen and biscuits are no longer made "in house."

Factor that in with customer service that rivals Burger King and McDonald's and it's a straight up "pass" for me.

This. We used to go there when visiting my grandma.

There were only a handful of places worth a shite to eat in that godforsaken town.
