Staff has given verbal assurance of halal status.. As of 2011, the chain has shifted from a certified hand-slaughtered supplier to a certified machine-slaughtered one, as confirmed by Popeyes corporate headquarters. Restaurants confirm that everything is halal and that all ingredients are different to their US stores (i.e., all gravy and sauces are halal).
Founded in 1972, Popeyes has more than 40 years of history and culinary tradition. Popeyes culinary heritage is built upon the rich Cajun and creole flavor profiles that are unmistakably Louisiana. We continuously draw upon and celebrate this heritage to inspire new, authentic menu creations the world craves. Popeyes distinguishes itself with a unique New Orleans style menu featuring spicy chicken, chicken tenders, fried shrimp and other regional items. This unique and flavorful food has allowed Popeyes to become one of the world's largest chicken quick service restaurants, with more than 2,700 restaurants in North America and around the world.

machine slaughter is not halal why are we trying to change islamic rules
Just got verbal confirmation that absolutely none if their chicken is hand slaughtered. Their boneless stuff used to be but as of last week it no longer is.
No sign stating halal -- but I asked the staff and they reassured me that it was halal. Chicken burger is great, especially with the hot sauce!
Convenient location near both university campuses. Regular tasty deals especially for kids.
Yummy. Maybe not the healthiest, but yummy.
Standard Popeyes menu available. Location has limited seating so be prepared to take-out. Lunch hours can be extremely busy (sometimes over 30 mins).
