Popeye's new chicken sandwich has been the talk of social media this week, especially after the company faced-off with competitor Chick-fil-A and other fast-food chains about their new menu option.

Although some have nabbed the sandwich to try, customers have reported that some of the Baltimore locations have been sold out of the sandwich -- including the two Orleans Street locations.
A Dundalk location even put up a sign saying they weren't serving them anymore.
What's the best Popeyes in Baltimore to get this sandwich from? The joint on Pulaski, the joint off Howard or the one across from Dunbar? I want to set myself up for success

My fear is driving to the Popeyes on the other side of Baltimore and the chicken sandwich isn't available.

The Popeyes chicken sandwich is good and all but there's no reason why they should take 45 minutes to get. That's why chick fila is better.

But others still think there are better options -- including Chick-fil-A and Shake Shack.
But in Baltimore, people tweeted carry-outs might have the best chicken options.
Everyone arguing about Chic-fil-A vs Popeyes has never been to a Hip Hop Fish and Chicken in Baltimore.
