popeyes

Cajun fried chain

Popeyes is a fast-food chain specializing in Louisiana-style fried chicken, founded in New Orleans in 1972.

The restaurant is known for its spicy, Cajun-seasoned chicken and sides like red beans and rice.

In 2019, Popeyes gained widespread attention for its chicken sandwich, which sparked social media debates and long lines at locations nationwide.

The Popeyes near me always has a drive-through line around the block.
