Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen, Fast food restaurant in San Antonio, United States.
Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen is a fast food restaurant that specializes in fried chicken prepared according to Louisiana traditions. The chicken is marinated overnight in Louisiana spices, breaded, and fried until crispy before being served.
The chain started in 1972 in New Orleans under founder Al Copeland, originally called Chicken on the Run. The name changed to Popeyes just days after opening and the restaurant eventually expanded across the country.
The restaurant name draws inspiration from the character Jimmy Doyle in the film The French Connection, not from the cartoon sailor character.
The restaurant offers mobile app ordering and delivery services for convenience. The menu features combination meals with chicken, seafood, and various side dishes to choose from.
When the chain launched a new chicken sandwich in 2019, demand was so high that locations across the nation sold out completely within days. This unexpected popularity revealed how strongly customers responded to the new menu item.
