McDonald's has some competition in the UK when it comes to fast food. It's no secret that this chain is the go-to for a quick and delicious breakfast. From their famous McMuffins to hash browns and pancakes, they have a menu that satisfies everyone's cravings. But now, another restaurant is stepping up to challenge their morning offerings. Popeyes, known for their Louisiana chicken, has just launched their breakfast menu nationwide. And let me tell you, they are not playing around. They have taken classic breakfast items like rolls and muffins and added their signature Cajun seasoning to elevate them to a whole new level.
The menu boasts a variety of mouth-watering options, including the Big Cajun Breakfast Roll, the Cajun Hash Brown, and biscuits with Nutella. Now, I know what you're thinking, "A biscuit with Nutella? That's just a fancy scone." But trust me, these biscuits are like nothing you've ever tasted before. Made with buttermilk, they are light, fluffy, and creamy. Our team at The Agency had the chance to try out the new menu, and let me tell you, we were blown away. Some even claimed that it was even better than the standard fare at McDonald's.
One of the standout items on the menu is the Big Cajun Breakfast Roll. And let me tell you, it definitely lives up to its name. This breakfast burger is a true showstopper. Packed with a sausage patty, Cajun hash brown, egg, smoked bacon, and American cheese, it is served in a soft brioche bun with a side of Cajun ketchup. Metro lifestyle reporter Courtney Pochin was hesitant about the spice factor at first, but after trying it, she was a convert. She even admitted that it was better than the McDonald's Breakfast Roll, which she previously considered the superior choice. The Cajun ketchup was the real game-changer, adding a unique flavor that you won't find anywhere else.
Next up, we have the Cajun Hash Brown. Now, I know what you're thinking, "How can a hash brown be better than McDonald's?" Well, let me tell you, it can. Popeyes is serving up both regular and Cajun hash browns, and let me tell you, the latter was the talk of the office during our taste test. Lifestyle reporter Gregory Robinson declared it the best hash brown he's ever had, and first-person and opinions editor Jess Austin gave it a perfect 10 rating. Even deputy lifestyle editor Kristina Beanland, a self-proclaimed die-hard McDonald's fan, admitted that it was even better than the iconic McDonald's hash brown.
But it's not just the savory options that are making waves. Popeyes is also offering a southern delicacy, the Biscuit with Nutella. This fluffy, buttery biscuit is served in various ways, including dusted with cinnamon sugar or topped with Nutella, jam, or honey. Courtney loved the authenticity of this southern treat, but she did note that it's best enjoyed fresh and hot from the store. If you're ordering for delivery, you may want to skip this one, as it may not hold up as well in transit.
Another must-try item on the menu is the Cajun Bacon Roll. If you're a fan of bacon rolls, then you'll definitely want to take advantage of the limited-time meal deal, which includes a bacon roll, hash brown, and a drink for less than £2. Metro's executive editor, Richard Hartley-Parkinson, tried out this option and while it didn't blow him away, he did admit that it was a decent breakfast choice.
Overall, our team was thoroughly impressed with Popeyes' breakfast menu. While some items may not live up to their McDonald's counterparts, others exceeded our expectations. And let's be real, it's always good to have some competition to keep things interesting. So, if you're looking for a new breakfast spot, give Popeyes a try. But hurry, these breakfast items are only available until 11am, and for a limited time, you can get a meal deal starting at just £1.99. Trust us, you won't regret it.
