I ate at the Evanston location last week and I honestly do not understand the hubbub. I found the chicken to be much too salty. Popeyes chicken is indeed crispy but so is Korean fried chicken (the other KFC) and KFC is not nearly as salty. I also tried the popcorn shrimp and that was disappointing too -- too much breading, very little shrimp. So I'm not sure if I will ever go to Popeye's again. My favorite fried chicken restaurant remains Mary Brown's. Plus, Mary Brown's has those awesome taters.
