"We absolutely LOVE these sandwiches!! They are MUCH BETTER than chik-fil-a sandwiches!! MUCH better!!"
"Ok, we just ordered the new shrimp. I can tell you all to not waste your time or money on them. What we got was micro shrimp with heavy batter. There were 4 pieces of shrimp in my girlfriend's box and I had 5 pieces. The rest of the "shrimp" was just pieces of fried batter. If you ever got the shrimp cup of soup you would know what I mean by micro shrimp. If I had to size the shrimp I would say it's about the size of a clipped finger nail. So you are basically paying 11 bucks for 4 shrimp that wouldnt equal one regular size shrimp. I could put every piece in my hand with out any of the so called shrimp being on top of another piece. You really want us to believe there are shrimp inside a fried batter the half size of a cheerio cereal piece The batter will probably crack someone's tooth. I feel screwed over by popeyes. What you see on TV is nothing like what they serve you. You have been warned.. it cost us 30 bucks to learn this. I hope we saved you from losing money too. "

"The gluten free is literal sorcery in the BEST way!! Fluffy, moist, just tastes *amazing.* Instantly my favorite gluten free treat in the Richmond area. If I hadn't had the label on the bundtlet telling me it's gluten free, I think I would have thought I'd accidentally glutened myself because it just tastes that amazing and it is SO soft and moist. HIGHLY recommend the lemon raspberry. (And for those who have gluten, my roommate confirms the glutenous ones are also delicious and she would commit a crime for them. "Not a major one. But, like, tax fraud.") To the bakers: Y'all. Take my money. Induct me into your coven of bakery witchcraft. I am *hooked.* Gluten-Free Lemon Raspberry Bundtlet (my personal favorite, and I'm normally a chocolate loving girly) Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookie Bundtlet (also amazing)"
