LOL, the rice and beans happens to be one of my favorite sides. Sure, they're nothing special, but they're tasty. The tenders are easily my favorite chicken item, and the biscuits are one of a kind.
As a member and representative of the white community from Texas, we do not claim such vile opinions shown by the creator of this video, red beans and rice is top tier, so are the mashed potatoes, slaw is garbage
Mashed really messed this one up!! Red beans and rice at popeyes is awesome!! What I do is take some excess crispy chicken skin and put it in the red beans and rice. You get a texture difference with the taste. Thank me later haha
I use to work at Popeyes. The Cajun Rice is DEFINITELY delicious even alone. The Popcorn Shrimp was a permanent menu item. And last but not least, the best chicken sandwich I have ever had was indeed from Popeyes but not the one they serve today, it was the Chicken Deluxe Sandwich that was incredible! Sad that it disappeared forever...
I was lucky enough to score one of the original sandwiches at product launch and DEFINITELY remember it as a larger filet of meat than the 2d go-around. That said, it was delicious BOTH times, and worth the wait while they ramped up production. Red beans & rice, please, as the side. Why y'all don't love them I don't know....
I work at Popeyes and the red beans and rice is literally the best side dish. Preservatives? Not sure how other franchisees make it, but doing prep at my store, it really does not look that horrible. The beans come in whole and uncooked. As well as the rice. It is sometimes the most ordered, second only to fries (people get lazy and pick fries). It is also literally the only side dish I eat along with the corn on the cob. The kraft dinner mac and cheese is meh. The freeze dried rehydrated mashed potato is meh. The fries and onion rings quality depends on how fresh its served to you. Hence, your best bet is the trusty ole' red beans and rice.
Wow amazing you are clueless the best thing ever had at Popeye's is the red beans and rice never had the dirty rice but I'm going to try it now while you have no clue
Red beans and rice is in last place? WTF. That's the best side they have. If you've never taken the dirty rice and mixed it together with some red beans, you need to try it and thank me later. I do agree though that their gravy is the best.
The number one side I always get, every single time I eat at Popeye's, is the "worst thing" on your list. I get the Red Beans and Rice, add a packet or two of their hot sauce, and enjoy some good eating. The shrimp is bland, and the dipping sauces don't really help. And while the chicken sandwich is way better than that other company's, it's just ok as a sandwich. Good thing the chicken is kickin.
I pretty much agree with this list as an employee however you are missing a few items from our menu that you didn't list here. 1. Mac and Cheese 2. Our chocolate cake (mudpie) 3. Pecan pie 4. Cajun Fish 5. Corn (Well its just corn lol) And theres a secret item only employees can get but idk if I can openly talk about it
i used to live in a remote area in a villa, with a gas station near it, that gas station had popeye's in it, each time i go to fill the tank, that cajun fries smell would hypnotise me and make me go in to buy some, all their menu items are great , it is also the only franchise that sells biscuits instead of buns....love that place...their chicken is really so much better than kfc and churche's (the blandest chicken ever)
Going in to this video, I projected my favorite side to be way up on the rankings.... Imagine my surprise when the Red Beans and Rice was dead last. lol Well, I love their Red Beans and Rice. I mean LOVE LOVE, I always buy extra to take home.
I'm from the northern edge of Cajun country in Louisiana and really enjoy the red beans and rice. Yes, homemade is better, but this fast-food item doesn't fall very far behind.
I love the red beans and rice. The boneless wings they've turned into nuggets now they have the best chicken nuggets out there. The problem is blackened ranch sauce and the Mardi gras mustard are amazing but they charge 50 cents a pack for blackened ranch and a dollar a pack for Mardi gras mustard who the hell charges that much for sauces. $0.50 for a little pack of sauce $1 for a little pack of sauce. They have to be out of their minds they've lost me as a customer out of sheer greed
Those of you saying that the chicken sandwich is overrated, well, as u know all chicken sandwiches are not as good and earth shattering as beef sandwiches but to say that Popeyes chicken sandwich is the best out of all its competitors, it is true.
I live in a small village on Hawaii island after a lava episode in 2018 a new strip mall opened which advertised at their "grand" opening (and still shows on their signage) a Popeyes. It's 2022 and still no Popeye's. I'm not losing sleep but after watching this vid I wish they would get their act together lol
Probably need to do an episode on the international locations. Of course adding the curds/cheese to the Cajun fries and gravy makes for a damn fine poutine which is on the Canadian menu. Replace the slaw with poutine and it's been done justice.
That chicken sandwiches the best chicken sandwich you can get anywhere by far I would eat them everyday and by the way red beans and rice as a staple for Popeyes fans downgrading red beans and rice is like saying something bad about Rick and Morty people usually come to the defense very fast
I don’t think this is right AT ALL! The red beans and rice, and mashed potatoes with gravy, are worse than things like coleslaw and green beans?! And the biscuits at 10, just, no! Higher!
Their red beans and rice has awesome flavor. Stop trying to snobishly compare their ingredients to expensive restaurant food. They use cheap ingredients but flavor them very well and make them delicious. They are trying to make fast food Affordable remember?!
No rating on the onion rings? Also, its the horseradish that makes the cole slaw have that zing. When the cajun rice is made, its all in how well you mix it up. Not mixed well will taste bland. Red rice seasoning is added to the rice for the red beans and rice.
I love the chicken and the sandwich, though I get them mild because I just can't eat spicy. I actually like the red beans & rice, even it it isn't authentic, because it is unique. You're right about the cole slaw: KFC and Long John Silver's have the best fast-food cole slaw.
As good as all this is, let me caution you about the Popeye's Buffet. I spent several years in management at the store level with Popeyes and can speak with authority on this. On the floor behind the front counter sits a bus pan. Into that bus pan is tossed all chicken that is expired (at those stores where they follow the expiration times) or is returned by customers for one reason or another. These chicken pieces sit there until closing time when they are counted and logged in as waste. Then they are placed in the walk-in cooler where they sit overnight. The next day the morning prep crew cut up this chicken and use it in preparing a number of the buffet dishes. Think about it. Some of this chicken sat in a bus pan on the floor from opening until closing time the previous day, gathering whatever germs could grow on room temperature chicken in that amount of time and is now being put on the buffet table to be served to customers. My advice - never eat prepared items from a Popeye's buffet.
S tier: Spicy chicken and tenders, cajun fries, red beans and rice A tier: Mild chicken and tenders, jambalaya, apple pie, mac and cheese B tier: Mashed potatoes, Cajun rice C tier: biscuits D tier: Coleslaw, green beans
My order 5pc spicy tenders Fries Small mashed potatoes To extra biscuits This way I can have lunch the next day too! I take two biscuits, chicken, and honey sauce and make a sandwich.
Once upon a time, Coca-cola was so big that coke was similar to google it. Google now is worried about being labeled a monopoly. I am the guy that when I mention I am hungry for chicken everybody around me knows I want Popeyes. I struggle with the sides because I love their sides. They are better than most fast-food franchises and I usually buy just two sides. Thanksgiving isn't special unless I have Popeyes gravy. The question is who is the best Rock and Roll band in history. We cannot agree on that either lol.
Blackened tenders are the best item on their menu, the downside is that you have to wait because they're never already made buy that's a pro in itself because you always get fresh food.

What's your favorite food item at Popeyes?
Mild spice with mashed potatoes
Everything
What’s the background song you guys use?
@@ckhris85 great choice,I prefer spicy
The chicken sandwich
Your reason for ranking red beans & rice last is a joke.
Yep, best thing there ranked dead last...
It's my family's favorite item there.
It’s awesome
Agreed!!!
I had no clue the red beans and rice had chicken guizzards in it. Kinda gross now that I think about it.
Don’t know what Popeyes y’all got. But I’ve never been disappointed with the mashed potatoes or red beans and rice
Cajun rice is better than redbeans and rice? Um sike
This video was made by a girl...what did you expect?
@@diggingmystyle so now gender and food relates somehow alr
@@athithirrivasanth9044 of course...only a woman would come up with such asinine ranking
Coming from a New Orleans local...... the red beans and rice is probably the most picked side. Really missed the mark here. Dorks.
Having lived in Louisiana for 4 awful years.....screw the state and make sure to tell others to avoid.
They clearly have no clue!
Coming from an nyc resident.. theyre bugging
@@cheatoliphaunt5464 LMAOOOO
..... okay but the red beans and rice is AMAZING...
FACTS
Ikr
did she just say that the fries are spicy💀🤦🏽♀️
Lol how tf are they spicy
She's white so 🤷🏽♀️
White people smh
white people
The fries are really tasty, but anyone who thinks they're "spicy" better stay north of the mason-dixon
Green beans over red beans and rice?! BYEEEEEE. Red beans and rice SMACKS. I hate yt people.
Dalyn Acosta they need to take a damn seat and rethink their life.
@@shadowban581 - She is too.
I’ve only tried their dirty rice and that shit was straight trash lol. I never had something that actually got worse with every bite in a minute.
It’s called an opinion.
MTH12 it’s called being wrong 🤣
The chicken sandwich has gotten smaller in size than the first release, and hope it gets better after the rush has calmed down.
When the low IQ social media zealots move to the next crave of "look at me I got here too" it will be.
LOL, the rice and beans happens to be one of my favorite sides. Sure, they're nothing special, but they're tasty. The tenders are easily my favorite chicken item, and the biscuits are one of a kind.
Lynn D. The mashed potatoes is so good without it popeyes would never be the same
J C ok
Guys this is why popeyes is ONLY for black people😭😭💀
They really ranked coleslaw above the rice and mashed potatoes
White people😂
Yeah they lost their damn minds in this video.
No offense but white people cannot rate a Popeyes menu that’s like a black person reviewing Panera bread 😅
Paul Lunsford different taste buds like we actually use salt salt in our dishes 😅💀😭
As a member and representative of the white community from Texas, we do not claim such vile opinions shown by the creator of this video, red beans and rice is top tier, so are the mashed potatoes, slaw is garbage
this channel makes me think that they haven’t tried half of the food they are talking about 💀
Nctscult they probably didn’t
The only thing on the Popeyes menu that isn’t good is the cole slaw. And even that’s because it’s cole slaw.
It’s not bad, but KFC’s is better.
gonna have to disagree with you on the cajun rice, Its one of their best sides.
Mashed really messed this one up!! Red beans and rice at popeyes is awesome!! What I do is take some excess crispy chicken skin and put it in the red beans and rice. You get a texture difference with the taste. Thank me later haha
red beans and rice and biscuits would be 3 and 4 for me. y'all are crazy!
What are you talking about? Popeye’s red beans and rice is amazing. I’ll sometimes get a large order and an iced tea for lunch.

And last but not least, the best chicken sandwich I have ever had was indeed from Popeyes but not the one they serve today, it was the Chicken Deluxe Sandwich that was incredible!

❤️ love...love their red beans and rice....chicken too.....,,😜
Woooow.....you actually ranked the red beans and rice at the bottom. Who made this list? Somebody from Iowa?
6:09 why did you show a picture of a Carolina Reaper when talking about the ghost pepper?
I pretty much agree with this list as an employee however you are missing a few items from our menu that you didn't list here.
1. Mac and Cheese
2. Our chocolate cake (mudpie)
3. Pecan pie
4. Cajun Fish
5. Corn (Well its just corn lol)
And theres a secret item only employees can get but idk if I can openly talk about it
SkarletSpartan Please do tell of this secret item 😋
If you don't, another employee likely will. Those kind of secrets never last long.
SkarletSpartan I use to make blackened boneless wings when I worked there tbh.
And the poboy lol
Wait they have Mac and cheese?
Heading to Popeyes rn.
That’s why you season the sides with Cajun sparkle
RED BEANS #16....NOPE
i used to live in a remote area in a villa, with a gas station near it, that gas station had popeye's in it, each time i go to fill the tank, that cajun fries smell would hypnotise me and make me go in to buy some, all their menu items are great , it is also the only franchise that sells biscuits instead of buns....love that place...their chicken is really so much better than kfc and churche's (the blandest chicken ever)
I want their signature chicken.
With fries.
*And* a biscuit.
Yall on some crack with them words towards the red beans and rice
Rice and beans amazing. Y’all very wrong
Going in to this video, I projected my favorite side to be way up on the rankings.... Imagine my surprise when the Red Beans and Rice was dead last. lol

I'm from the northern edge of Cajun country in Louisiana and really enjoy the red beans and rice. Yes, homemade is better, but this fast-food item doesn't fall very far behind.
The mashed potatoes are underrated. I eat it without gravy, and it is perfect.
You gotta watch who your listening too this women is Out of her Mind
I love the red beans and rice. The boneless wings they've turned into nuggets now they have the best chicken nuggets out there. The problem is blackened ranch sauce and the Mardi gras mustard are amazing but they charge 50 cents a pack for blackened ranch and a dollar a pack for Mardi gras mustard who the hell charges that much for sauces. $0.50 for a little pack of sauce $1 for a little pack of sauce.

Y’all good ranking red beans and rice dead last?? WTF
Y’all should do a ranking of noodles and company dishes
Biscuit at number 10??? See ya later.
The red beans and rice are amazing!! For a side, I always get an order just for me🤬🤬
cajun rice, mashed potatoes and coleslaw, Biscuits, popcorn shrimp and spicy chicken are my go too's despite Mashed knocking some of my favorites.
This is my order: plain fried chicken (drumstick grey meat>white meat) a biscuit, and mashed potatoes.
I’ve never had better red beans & rice.
Those of you saying that the chicken sandwich is overrated, well, as u know all chicken sandwiches are not as good and earth shattering as beef sandwiches but to say that Popeyes chicken sandwich is the best out of all its competitors, it is true.
me: i like the food everyone else in the comments: how dare you not like the red beans and rice

We love Popeye's red beans and rice. Their gravy is awful. These 2 items we disagree with this video.
Mashed videos: exist

That chicken sandwiches the best chicken sandwich you can get anywhere by far I would eat them everyday and by the way red beans and rice as a staple for Popeyes fans downgrading red beans and rice is like saying something bad about Rick and Morty people usually come to the defense very fast
Popeyes red beans and rice is amazing!! U got that wrong!!!
Obviously, we saw it coming
I am so sprung I watched the WHOLE video!
Y’all have lost your doggone minds. You don’t like it, good it’s your American right. But, don’t bash all of these classics. All are delish!
Cajun rice is bangin
yall high, the mash is amazing
I don’t think this is right AT ALL! The red beans and rice, and mashed potatoes with gravy, are worse than things like coleslaw and green beans?! And the biscuits at 10, just, no! Higher!
Best: 1. Fried chicken
2. Red beans and rice
3. Biscuits
#1- BAM
#2- BAM
#3- BAM
👍👍👍
Bruh red beans and rice is so fire
Love it!!! We just reviewed the Chicken Sandwich from Popeyes ourselves!
Not even a mention of my most favorite dish at Popeye's, the jambalya. Of course, they quit selling it...man i liked that dish!!!
No shrimp poboy?
Who remembers their crawdad poboy? Loved it.
Yall are crazy. The Red beans and rice and biscuits are all I need from popeys.
I like to request a side of gravy with the cajun fries. My local Popeyes usually tosses the gravy in for free!
the way you did the biscuits dirty like that...the audacity
I tried the Popeyes chicken sandwich and I don’t know if the location made it wrong but it wasn’t as good as everyone was saying it was
It's not
Everything from popeyes is fire!!!!!
Yes u wish all resturants were as good as that
The Popeyes in Brunswick, Georgia does not sell the advertised fish sandwich!
Their red beans and rice has awesome flavor. Stop trying to snobishly compare their ingredients to expensive restaurant food. They use cheap ingredients but flavor them very well and make them delicious. They are trying to make fast food Affordable remember?!
U were high when making this video🧐🧐😂
No rating on the onion rings? Also, its the horseradish that makes the cole slaw have that zing. When the cajun rice is made, its all in how well you mix it up. Not mixed well will taste bland. Red rice seasoning is added to the rice for the red beans and rice.
I'm genuinely offended they ranked coleslaw and green beans above red beans and rice
ARE CAJUN FRIES NOT A SIDE????
Rong Zhou it is
I work at Popeyes and all of the sides are at the bottom! 😂😂 So TRUE!
The Cajun rice and Mac and cheese is very yummy 😋
I am revealing the secret...Red Beans over Cajun Rice instead of white rice. Thank me later.
Mashed, YOU ARE DEAD WRONG about the red beans and rice and the mashed potatoes and cajun gravy!!! They are FIRE!!!

I live in Nola and personally live a couple of blocks from Al Copeland old house the inventor of Popeyes this video is all wrong
Popeyes tastes 10000% BETTER in New Orleans. Period lol
What's wrong about it? How would you rank everything? Genuinely curious.
@@katr7969 chicken, biscuits and red beans and rice...then everything else.
Proud to be a Popeyes employee!!
The red beans is straight FIRE
S tier: Spicy chicken and tenders, cajun fries, red beans and rice
A tier: Mild chicken and tenders, jambalaya, apple pie, mac and cheese
B tier: Mashed potatoes, Cajun rice
C tier: biscuits
D tier: Coleslaw, green beans

5pc spicy tenders
Fries
Small mashed potatoes
To extra biscuits
This way I can have lunch the next day too! I take two biscuits, chicken, and honey sauce and make a sandwich.
My choice of 2 sides to go with the 12 pc family meal is always fries + jambalaya.
what happened to the deep fried gizzards and livers? do i have to drive to louisiana ???
Does anyone else LIKE soggy chips/fries?
Just me?
I think that is just you
Their fish is actually seasoned more than their main chicken pieces, in fact all of their meat is seasoned more than their main chicken pieces.
7:00
Thighs: am I a joke to you?
Cajun Rice with gravy be hitting
Everybody loves red beans rice
Also the crawfish etouffee is that crack
The Mac and cheese should really be the worst not the red beans and rice
I'm addicted to it buying more tomorrow well today
