Tired of McDonald’s? Try Popeyes

Now that my husband and I are able to reap the benefits of an Amazon Prime partnership with DoorDash (if you have a Prime account, you’re able to get a year’s worth of free delivery for any order using DoorDash – click here to learn more), we decided to put it to use this past week and order some dinner. It was a spontaneous decision that ended up working out quite well in more ways than one; the food was great, and it saved me from having to cook dinner, so it was a win-win.

We weren’t initially sure where we wanted to order from, and upon Blaine’s suggestion that we get food from Popeyes, I came to the shocking realization I had never had anything from Popeyes. Blaine had, and he told me he finds it tasty, so we decided to each get a Big Box meal which comes with two pieces of chicken, two sides, and a biscuit, all for only ten bucks.

We were pleasantly surprised by the price, and were even more surprised when we received our food by the portions; for ten bucks, you certainly get your fill, and neither myself nor Blaine could believe how affordable the quantity of food was.

For my first time having Popeyes, I have to say it’s quite tasty. I had two chicken legs, both of which were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside; one side of cajun fries; and another side of the macaroni and cheese. The fries were pretty good, and while the macaroni and cheese were decent, adding some salt and pepper helped tremendously.

I’ve been putting myself at a disadvantage by not sampling Popeyes sooner, but I am glad I finally did, and I imagine we will be ordering from them again soon. It’s a nice switch from the usual McDonald’s.
