They're just breaking ground. I seem to remember reading on here that it's pretty good but nothing showed up in the search function. Is it worth a visit?

The one in Lafayette had cars lined up a 1/4 mile down the road when it opened. Today you never see a single car at that place at noon or 6 p.m. ?

I ate it one time in Jennings and it was spicy as all get out. Is that the norm, or did I just get a one off? I told the kids they could not get it. They can't handle Popeyes spicy.

No must have been an off batch.

I ate the one on Sherwood and thought it was OK, but definitely not worth the hype.

It’s better than any of the other fast food chicken. It may not be the absolute best out there, but it is my go to when it’s close.

They are building it 900' from possibly the worst Popeyes in the world!


Hopefully they hire people that know how to swim.

coming here to post this.

It was an hour wait for 2 months. Not a single care now. I don't understand people in Lafayette anymore.

I think that’s a different Southern. The upcoming one in Hammond is Southerns which has a single location in Metairie and it is great.

Southerns from Metairie already opened their location in Hammond.

OP is clearly talking about Southern Classic Chicken which became popular in N. LA and S. Ark and is now opening up locations down south

I've had it once up in the Ruston area and it was fantastic.

Anyone know how it compares to Mama's Fried Chicken in Opelousas?
