Voting begins NOW and ends Thursday at midnight.
Pisces Line: Popeye's -17.5
Over/Under pts: 86
Popeyes in comparison to Chic Fil A:
Poster's favorites:
Popeye's - fried chicken dinners, chicken strips, red beans and rice, biscuits
Chic Fil A - Nuggets, fried chicken sandwich, chicken strips
Poster's dislikes:
Popeye's - The service - staff seems lazy, not personable at any location; takes too long for an order (some have said 20 minutes is average); also Popeye's is no longer cheap.
Chic Fil A - The religious affiliation and its cause to close down the restuarant - no ifs ands or buts - on Sundays.
Average cost of a combo meal:
Popeyes - 3 piece with 2 sides, biscuits, and a drink = $8.90
Chic Fil A - 12 piece Nugget, waffle fries, and drink = $8.00
Nutritional Info
Popeye's - 3 piece breast, 2 sides, biscuits, and a drink = 2400 calories, 110 fat g, 48 sat fat g, 6 trans fat g, 150 carbs, 56 g of protein
Chic Fil A - 12 piece Nugget, large fries, large coke = 1070 calories, 43 fat g, 9 sat fat g, 0 trans fat g, 130 carbs, 45 g of protein
How they got here:
Popeye's crushed Hardee's 32-3, Wendy's 41-17, and Arby's 34-9
Chic Fil A beat Sonic 35-26, Taco Bell 26-25, and Whataburger 40-36.

Popeye's!!!
Chick-fil-a while good, is still bland, boring, and sissified compared to real fried chicken. I am so sick of the millions of boring eathers that think chicken breast sandwiches or chicken fingers are the only way to eat chicken....that may be true if you are 4 years old, gay, or a chick. but jesus people, have some soul, and don't fear flavor.
Oh, and NO place that can't satisfy a day after LSU football hangover or a Saints post game munchie craving deserves votes in the finals of a FAST FOOD TOURNEY. Fast food places are built on convenience, and being closed on sundays is not convenient.
Plus, i hate Jesus.
eta: and for people basing it on service, it's a fricking Fast Food Restaurant. You are generally in there just to get your food, or it's passed to you through a window. It's not a 2 hour dining experience where the waiter plays a large part. Focus on the food, folks.
Also, are you figs really voting for a fast food place b/c it's healthier? Jesus, if you want health don't eat fast food, fatty.

Chic Fil A might have a lock on service thanks to it's policy of almost only hiring hardcore Christian teens, but back in the day it was worth bad service for a Popeye's three piece with a strawberry soda.

I have a hard time voting for CFA but overall they have turned into a better establishment. Popeyes IMO is inconsistent and has slipped due to their service.
CFA also has waffle fries.

My vote goes to Popeyes as well.
I cringe whenever I dish out all that money just for three pieces of chicken, but everything on Popeye's menu is more flavorful than anything on CFA's menu.
ETA:
I had no idea a 3 piece meal was this many calories. Whenever I eat this, I'm still hungry.

Chik-Fil-A...
Popeye's is overrated and has the WORST service out of any big-time fast food chain.
Besides, you can eat a decent healthy mean at CFA.

This is really not fair because I crave them at different times...
Sadly I will go w/ Chic Fil A because I can have it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It is healthier. But when I want fried chicken, I am going to popeyes...NOT chic fil a...and I dont crave fried chicken that often (thank god)

I always take your comments with a grain of salt, but that one was just dumb.
