Popeyes Menu with Prices 2026
The complete Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen menu for 2026 — all 103 items across 15 categories, with typical US prices and official calorie counts. From the legendary Chicken Sandwich to Blackened Tenders, Cajun Fries, and family meals, everything is listed below with honest, location-aware pricing and nutrition verified against Popeyes’ own published guide.
Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen has been serving bold, Cajun-inspired fried chicken since 1972, when it opened its first doors in New Orleans. Famous for chicken marinated 12 hours, hand-battered, hand-breaded, and fried to a shattering crunch — plus the Chicken Sandwich that broke the internet in 2019 — Popeyes now runs thousands of locations across the US. This page is the most complete Popeyes menu guide online: every category, every item, typical prices, and official calories, all in one place and updated monthly.
Why Trust This Site?
Most menu sites copy each other’s stale prices and invent nutrition numbers. We do it differently:
Official nutrition data
Every calorie figure marked “official” comes straight from Popeyes’ USA Nutrition Guide (October 2025). Where Popeyes publishes nothing, we say so — never invented.
Honest price ranges
Popeyes prices vary by franchise location. We show typical US ranges and label them as typical — never a false single “official” price.
Updated monthly
We re-check prices, menu changes, and deals every month. This page was last fully verified in October 2026.
No fake coupons
We don’t list made-up promo codes. Our deals guide covers what actually saves money.

Signature Chicken
10 items
The icon. Bone-in chicken marinated for 12 hours in Louisiana seasonings, then hand-battered, hand-breaded, and fried until impossibly crunchy. Available in Mild and Spicy — the Spicy gets its kick from a peppery marinade that goes all the way to the bone. Sold by the piece or in 2, 3, and 4-piece dinners and combos with a regular side, biscuit, and drink.
Chicken Tenders
6 items
All-white-meat chicken hand-battered and breaded fresh. Blackened Tenders are the standout for lighter eating — just 210 calories for 3 pieces with 37g of protein, the best protein-to-calorie ratio on the entire menu. Available in 3 and 5-piece servings, plus combos.
Nuggets
3 items
Bite-size pieces of white-meat chicken, battered and fried golden. A kid-favorite that also anchors the Kids Meals — simple, crunchy, and made for dipping.
Wings
16 items
Popeyes wings come bone-in or boneless, tossed in your choice of 8 rubs and sauces: Classic, Buffalo, Garlic Parmesan, Ghost Pepper, Honey BBQ, Lemon Pepper, Signature Hot, and Sweet & Spicy. Sold in 6, 12, and 24-piece servings with combo options.
Chicken Sandwiches
6 items
The sandwich that broke the internet. A buttermilk-battered and hand-breaded chicken fillet on a toasted, buttery brioche bun with pickles and mayo (Classic) or spicy mayo (Spicy). Also available in Honey BBQ and Bacon & Cheese builds. Each one is 700 calories of pure crunch.
Wraps
4 items
A lighter handheld option — crispy or blackened chicken wrapped with lettuce, tomato, and sauce in a warm tortilla. The Loaded Chicken Wrap at $1.99 is one of the best value items on the menu.
Seafood
5 items
Cajun-seasoned seafood beyond chicken: crispy Popcorn Shrimp, the Flounder Fish Sandwich, and tackle boxes that pair shrimp with a side and biscuit. A nod to Popeyes’ Louisiana roots.
Sides
12 items
The legendary supporting cast. Cajun Fries dusted in bold seasoning, creamy Mashed Potatoes with Cajun Gravy, Homestyle Mac & Cheese, Red Beans & Rice, Coleslaw — and the famous Buttermilk Biscuit, buttery and flaky at just $0.79. Sides make or break a Popeyes run; regulars have strong opinions about the right pairing.
Desserts
2 items
Sweet finishes to the meal — currently a tight lineup, but the Cinnamon Apple Pie is a classic.
Drinks
8 items
Soft drinks, iced tea, and lemonade in multiple sizes to wash it all down.
Family Meals
6 items
Feed the whole crew without the per-piece markup: 8, 12, and 16-piece boxes of Signature Chicken or Tenders with large sides and biscuits. The 12-piece tenders family meal is the sweet spot for groups of 4–5.
$5 Faves (Limited Time)
4 items
Popeyes’ limited-time value lineup — full menu items at $5 each. The current rotation includes the Classic Chicken Sandwich, 3pc Tenders, 2 regular sides, and 3pc Signature Chicken. When it’s on, it’s the cheapest way to eat at Popeyes.
Breakfast (not at all locations)
8 items
A note of honesty: most US Popeyes locations do not serve breakfast. These items appear at select locations (mainly airports) and in international markets. See our breakfast guide for the full picture.
Kids Meals
3 items
Smaller portions for younger appetites — tenders or nuggets with a regular side and a kid’s drink.
Dipping Sauces
10 items
Ten sauces, fifty cents each. Blackened Ranch and Sweet Heat are the cult favorites — the first is smoky and tangy, the second is the secret weapon for wings and tenders alike.
Latest Popeyes Deals & Offers — October 2026
Popeyes runs value plays year-round, but the honest truth first: Popeyes does not publish official coupon codes. Any site listing “promo codes” is making them up. What actually saves money:
- $5 Faves — the limited-time $5 lineup (sandwich, tenders, sides) is the best everyday value.
- Popeyes Rewards app — earn points on every order, redeem for free food; app-exclusive deals appear regularly.
- Family meals — the per-piece price drops sharply in 12 and 16-piece boxes.
Popeyes Menu Customization
Every item can be tweaked. The most popular customizations: swap mayo for Blackened Ranch on any sandwich, add Sweet Heat sauce to wings or tenders, order tenders Blackened instead of breaded to cut calories nearly in half, and ask for Cajun gravy on your fries. For the full list of off-menu builds, see our secret menu guide.
Popeyes Catering & Family Meals
Feeding a crowd? The family meals (8, 12, 16 pieces with large sides and biscuits) are designed for groups of 3–8 and priced well below per-piece rates. For larger events, most locations take advance catering orders — call your local restaurant 24–48 hours ahead. Read the family meals & catering guide →
Popeyes Rewards Program
Free to join in the Popeyes app or at popeyes.com. Earn 10 points per $1 spent; rewards start at 250 points (free drink or side) and scale up to free sandwiches, tenders, and family boxes. Members also get app-exclusive deals and early access to limited-time items. If you eat Popeyes more than twice a month, the math works.

Popeyes Opening Hours in USA

What is the cheapest thing on the Popeyes menu?
The Loaded Chicken Wrap at $1.99 and the Buttermilk Biscuit at $0.79 are the cheapest items. During $5 Faves promotions, full items like the Classic Sandwich drop to $5.
What are the healthiest options at Popeyes?
The lightest official figures are Blackened Tenders (210 calories for 3 pieces) and Mashed Potatoes with Cajun Gravy (110 calories for a regular). Popeyes is a fried-chicken chain, so lighter eating means smaller portions and smart swaps — see our full nutrition guide for complete tables.
Does Popeyes have a $5 menu?
Yes — the $5 Faves limited-time lineup includes the Classic Chicken Sandwich, 3pc Tenders, 3pc Signature Chicken, and 2 regular sides at $5 each, at participating locations.
Why do Popeyes prices vary by location?
Popeyes restaurants are franchises and each sets its own prices based on local rent, labor, and supply costs. That’s why we show typical ranges — always check your local restaurant for exact pricing.
What time does Popeyes open and close?
Most US locations open 10:00–10:30 AM and close 10:00 PM–midnight, but hours vary widely by franchise. Drive-thru often runs later than dine-in.
Does Popeyes serve breakfast?
No national US breakfast menu — most locations open mid-morning with the regular menu. Select airport locations and international markets serve breakfast items. See our breakfast guide for details.
How do I get Popeyes coupons?
Popeyes doesn’t publish official coupon codes — sites listing them are making them up. Real savings come from the Rewards app, $5 Faves, and family meals. See our deals guide.
What sauces does Popeyes have?
Ten dipping sauces at $0.50 each: Bayou Buffalo, BoldBQ, Blackened Ranch, Buttermilk Ranch, Cocktail, Mardi Gras Mustard, Signature, Sweet Heat, Tartar, and Wild Honey Mustard. Blackened Ranch and Sweet Heat are the fan favorites.
Is Popeyes chicken spicy?
You choose: every bone-in item and tender comes in Mild (Classic) or Spicy. The Spicy marinade has real heat but won’t destroy most palates — Ghost Pepper wings are the true scorcher.
Does Popeyes cater?
Most locations accept large advance orders — call 24–48 hours ahead for parties. The 12 and 16-piece family meals with large sides cover groups of 4–8 without formal catering. See our catering guide.
Where do your calorie counts come from?
Every figure marked ‘official’ is taken directly from Popeyes’ USA Nutrition Guide (October 2025). Items without published data are marked ‘—’ rather than guessed.
