The original Popeyes Chicken Nuggets from back in the day are still the all-time best, IMHO.....

Lol no. Canes tenders are soggy AF


Pro-tip: You can order anything at Canes "extra crispy". Makes the fries and tenders exponentially better.

I always felt Popeyes were better until I learned this. Now they're neck and neck. I usually will just go to whichever one I happen to be craving that day. But yes, Louisiana chicken >>> anything else.

They taste pretty close to the same for me, just depends on how much seasoning was put on that batch. All the Guthrie and Guthrie ripoff chains like Zaxby's and Cane's taste very similar.

Popeyes doesn’t sell chicken tenders. They sell chicken strips. And they are terrible.

Anyone who eats at Popeyes and doesn’t order dark meat spicy is suspect af. I’ll pull up all day for that shite.

To be fair, your odds of getting hepatitis have to be lower at canes than Popeyes. Maybe that played a factor

Louisiana easily crushes almost any food market it chooses, particularly chicken or fish.

Agreed. Since we agree to that, next time you take I49, stop in opelousas at momas fried chicken. They have two locations, but go to the one by the movie theater. It's not as spicy as Popeyes spicy because they don't offer a choice, but damn it's good. Good red beans too.

I like the idea of Zaxby's but every time I go the chicken is burned.

Cane's has the goat sweet tea. Over the years their tenders have gotten smaller, but so is business.

Foosackly's in Mobile is another great on.

Southern Classic...specifically the location in Mansfield, is the best fried chicken I have ever eaten and it’s honestly not close.

They really were great. Was it b/c they were darkmeat? The darkmeat chicken nuggets a Mcdonalds were good too.

I prefer CFA over either Canes or Popeyes tenders but Elsie's has the best in BR imo.

CFA's strips are terrible. No clue how all their other chicken tastes so good and these don't.

they must have the most bland taste buds on Earth.


I've had gas station tenders in many places that are better than Cane's
