What are the two Nawlins Popeyes locations that have the lunch buffet?

St Charles? and?

Lafayette Pinhook has it.

Gonzales Tanger Outlet Mall used to, but no longer.

Any good?

The one in Gonzales used to have some non-Popeyes menu stuff too..like fried okra, mac-n-cheese, etc..

Haven't been to da parish in a while, so I have no clue if it's still there, but the original location was on Judge Perez, near Rowley.

If you drive down St. Claude towards Chalmette it would have been on your right not far after leaving the lower 9.

It sat after Katrina for a while and was bulldozed at least a year ago.

To the day it was demolished it remained in that black stone, which was the original design of Popeye's (at least as long as I can remember).

No shite...that sign is classic.

I had some work recently and passed one with the original sign and stone....it was south of Boutte. I think that was the day I was headed to LaRose...

I know of no original signs in NOLA, but there is a black stone one in the East that is now a licka' sto'.

Originally named after Popeye Doyle from French Connection fame, and not the cartoon.

It wasn't St. Claude. That turns into St. Bernard Hwy. It's actually Claiborne that turns into Judge Perez. It's been bulldozed since '07. They put some modular home sales office in its place. It hadn't been a Popeyes in over a decade though. It was some Chinese food/po-boy place since the late 90's early 2000's. I grew up three streets behind that building and no other location has EVER been able to produce anything close to the quality of chicken and biscuits that place could. R.I.P. big Al.

The one in Golden Meadow just before the bridge used to have it but everyone that was fishing on the way home would just trash it. No more.
