Finally broke down and got in line to try the chicken sandwich. Pretty damn good. Funnier was some one cut in line in the drive true and horns were flying non stop. One dude even got out his car and was yelling at the other car. Thought I was going to see a little brawl with my sandwich

Line was long blocking PCH in Lomita. I tried that new location few weeks ago and service was slow and I was only customer. They must be waiting a hour. I called in my lunch at Burger City Grill a block away and no wait and food is Bomb.

I went on Sunday. Inside didn't seem that crowded but orders were slow and drive through was slower... at 3pm. Luckily someone wasn't coming to get their order of two spicy chicken sandwiches, which was the same as my order. Finally, the employee said let me see your receipt and just let us take that identical order. It probably saved us 15-20 minutes.

Oh, and they're pretty damn good.

Yeah, for sure they are struggling with the excess volume.

A man who had been cutting in a line for chicken sandwiches at a crowded Popeyes restaurant in Maryland was stabbed to death by another customer who confronted him, police said Tuesday.

Prince George's County Police Chief Hank Stawinski appealed for the public's help in identifying the man who fatally stabbed 28-year-old Kevin Tyrell Davis once after their argument spilled outside the Oxon Hill restaurant Monday evening.

Stawinski, who called it a “pointless crime,” said only 15 seconds elapsed from when the altercation started to when it ended with the stabbing. Davis had been “methodically” cutting his way through the line for sandwiches for 15 minutes before the suspect confronted him at the front counter, the chief said.

"The question my detectives have to answer is, ‘How does a confrontation lead to a homicide in 15 seconds?’ " Stawinski told reporters outside a police station in Upper Marlboro. “The family of the individual who was killed is looking for closure. The families and children who were in this restaurant are looking for closure.”

Popeyes resumed selling its chicken sandwich Sunday. It was first released in August, and the chain credited popular demand to its supply selling out that month. Marketing around the sandwich has built a frenzy that’s causing long lines and waits at the chain’s restaurants. Stawinski said dozens of people were at the restaurant at the time.

A statement from Popeyes said the fast food chain and its Oxon Hill franchisee are cooperating with authorities and "actively working to gather more information."

"What happened in Maryland last night is a tragedy and we are saddened to hear about this senseless act of violence. Our thoughts are with the victim's family and friends," the statement says.

Police released surveillance camera images of the suspect and a woman who apparently was with him inside the restaurant and fled with him in a car after the stabbing. Investigators want to speak with that woman.

"We think she has some pretty vital information to the investigation," said police department spokeswoman Jennifer Donelan.

Stawinski said there is no evidence that the suspect and victim knew each other.

Police found a knife in Davis' possession after the stabbing, but investigators don't believe he brandished it during the confrontation, according to Donelan.

Davis, of Oxon Hill, died at a hospital. He had been stabbed once in the upper body, the police spokeswoman said.

Lots of stupidity in this world for sure. Same shit happens on black Friday for no reason.

Not in a while. Ate there many times years ago. I Need to try the breakfast spot across from popeyes the nook.

The 8 dollar box at Burger City Grill add pepper Jack is hard to beat for lunch. There City Slicker burger is excellent as well.

Tried it last night. Darn tasty and way better than the other fast food chicken sandwiches. Still not worth waiting for

I guess I just don’t get the whole Chic filet thing. Only had it once. The sandwich was oh so mediocre to me. It reminded me of a cafeteria chicken sandwich in JR High. It just wasn’t my thing. Now a good blackened grilled chicken sandwich from 1909 in Temecula.... I’m in !

I was in the states this afternoon. Nobody in the Popeyes, so decided to try the chicken sandwich. It was o.k., didn't live up to the hype. I've had better.

The chicken breast was very good, I had the spicy. The sandwich is very plain, a little mayo and some pickles. People are idiots fighting and even stabbing people over it. I doubt I'll order it again.

Rarely eat fast food but I stopped at Popeye's and grabbed the spicy chicken sandwich while out running errands today. I have to say it is pretty damn good, really good. If I go out for fast food again, it would be where I would go.

BTW, the place was dead and there was only one other person in there eating around 1:30. I guess the hype is over. :)
