Their commercials do seem kind of racist with African Americans using very improper English. Were they founded by African Americans :?:

we don't have Popeyes in Australia. Curious if they sell anything with spinach?


They don't.

A Popeye's opened up where I live, which is odd because we have at least three other places nearby that sell chicken, but the non-spicy hot chicken is really good imo. I just wish they had gravy that isn't spicy hot and gave me butter to go with the biscuit that comes with it.

We hear the name Popeye and we automatically think of the cartoon sailor, but I read that it's actually named after some fictional movie or TV detective, which is just weird. No spinach in the restaurant as far as I know.


It was named after Popeye Doyle in the French Connection. He was played by the late, great Gene Hackman.
