Alberta has Two New Popeyes Restaurant Locations!
In past conversations with others, many have the same frustrations over ‘new’ dining openings, because they are simply repeats of choices we already have plenty of here in Alberta. That being said, we’re always really excited when a franchise opens locally, which broadens our choices.
This past weekend my girls and I ate at our first Popeyes, a restaurant which I was sure we’d have to visit when travelling far away from home since it’s a longtime American fast food favourite.
Big news on the dining choices Albertans – two Popeyes locations to enjoy! While Popeyes has over 2,000 restaurants globally and the only ones in Canada being in Ontario, it’s great that Albertans can now dine and enjoy.
The Calgary Popeyes location will be open soon, yet the Edmonton location {17th Avenue S.E} is now open and serving customers!
We had the opportunity of dining at Popeyes recently, so from first hand experience – YAHOO, it’s so good!
Already it’s a big hit, crowds were wanting to have a first-hand taste. Despite being so busy, service was as timely as could be expected.
Popeyes has a distinctly Louisiana-influenced menu featuring fried {spicy and mild} chicken, fried shrimp and other seafood, as well as jambalaya, buttermilk biscuits, red beans and rice and other regional items.
We ordered a sampling from the menu, and enjoyed it all. I was especially surprised and impressed that the chicken tenders were chicken breasts, and hearty ones at that. Also important to note, it’s not greasy as one would expect from fried chicken – Louisiana chicken, where you have been?
I’ve never eaten at Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen before, and for those that have – you’ll understand the big deal here. My kids and I were so impressed with the food, the taste was amazing. We were glad we ordered so much and all shared a sampling, it made for great leftovers the next day as well.
When visiting the US in the past, I always meant to dine at Popeyes and always regretted not taking the opportunity. Dining options are a wonderful thing, it’s so nice that Alberta will have two Popeyes locations, we’ll definitely be back.
Have you been to Popeyes Restaurants before?

Ooooh I haven’t been to a Popeye’s in ages. Time for a return trip 🙂
Really cool that you now have a Popeyes down the street from you. We have a few where we are and our family loves to eat the food. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
Now i am craving some Popeyes chicken because i am starving! That’s awesome that they are opening 2 new locations so now you can discover how yummy it is! I think i know what I’m grabbing for a quick dinner tonight!
I seem to remember having eaten at a Popeyes whilst in the States at some time. I didn’t know we were getting one here in Edmonton though.
I can’t wait until the one opens in Calgary. It would be nice to be able to stop in. Their food is so good.
I’ve been to Popeyes several times before and I really loved their food! Glad that they are adding more restaurants!
Congrats! We just recently got a Popeyes down the street and it has been jam packed since it opened! I love their gravy!
Popeyes looks like it has some great food. I am all for some variety too!
I have never eaten at Popeye’s but it looks to be an excellent place to take my grandkids. I’m going to check and see if there is a Popeye’s near my home. Thanks!!
My husband is a huge fan of Popeye’s. We’ve never been to Alberta before but we’ll keep our eyes open for these new locations when we visit one day!
Love that chicken from Popeyes! I dream about their biscuits.
I have never been to Popeyes, but they are popular here!
Mm that looks good. I want to try Popeyes but just haven’t yet. Hubby likes it though.
That food looks great. I’ve never been to Popeyes before. I wish I had one closer so that I could try them out.
I have always heard fantastic things about Popeyes. I wish we had a location near me so I could try it.
I love Popeyes chicken. I always get some when I go to visit my Sister. I am hoping they open a location near me soon.
We love to treat ourselves once in a while with Popeyes. It is so delicious every time.
O yum My husband would like this place, sounds like a great place to have in your town.
I’ve never been to a Popeyes. But the food looks really appetizing and glad to hear you have two locations nearby where you live in Alberta.
Never eaten At a Popeyes ever but after reading your post I totally need to! Such exciting news for our neighbourhood!
I have never visited a Popeyes Restaurants before, next time I’m in Calgary or Edmonton I will make sure I visit. The food looks really good.

Very exciting! I have never tried it but you make it sound delicious. Just wish it wasn’t on 17 ave but I hear they are opening more locations. Woohoo !
I’ve only tried Popeyes once while on a road trip, they look great! 🙂
