Is there a comparable fast-food alternative to the classic Chick-fil-A sandwich? [View all] NurseJackie Mar 2021 OP

I'll vouch for Popeye's. Yum! nt MerryHolidays Mar 2021 #1

Agreed! The spicy one is divine! CrackityJones75 Mar 2021 #34

Best yet, especially if on a diet. Blackened Tenders. They are peppered and not breaded. Awesome. TheBlackAdder Mar 2021 #53

Oh I will have to try that! CrackityJones75 Mar 2021 #55

Popeyes customer service is best described as adversarial but when it's right it's pretty damn good. BannonsLiver Mar 2021 #2

I like your description of popeye's customer service. Steelrolled Mar 2021 #21

I'll second Popeyes. nt Phoenix61 Mar 2021 #3

its crazy the lines of cars waiting at chick-fil-a when the others are only a couple deep. bullimiami Mar 2021 #11
