To me it hanst been the same since Covid. That new Bo Chicken sandwich tastes like crap, and I dont know if they use the same chicken pattie now for the cajun filet, but it doesn't taste the same anymore. 

The couple times I've had a Cajun filet biscuit the past few years the chicken has been about as thin as it can be.  Mostly just breading and a dry ads biscuit

actually I think it depends on where you go.  Ive been to a few bojangles and the food was night and day.  went to a bojangles out near albemarle and the chicken was juicy, charlotte, always dry.

This. Also, depends on what you get.

We stopped at a Bojangles' in Georgia and the service was very good, but the supremes were literally the size of your thumb. Four of them equated to one chicken tender. 

The Bojangles' near me is excellent with its service, and its breakfast food, so I hit it up probably once a month or so. The one near work is generally pretty impolite, but their supremes and fries are still 1A as of April or May.

EDIT: If you want good Bojangles', I'm telling you -- get it at a Checkers game at Bojangles' Coliseum. The supremes and fries are always fantastic and while it costs more, you get more supremes in an order and they're top-notch every time, because they're the arena sponsor.

All chain restaurants have been slowly going downhill for the last decade, and I believe Covid (mixed with all the "supply chain issues" and labor disputes) have really made all of them horrendous. 

And most all chain restaurants are franchise operations. The corporate entity behind the franchises dictate the food suppliers, so that part of the equation is a constant. So, if you have 2 franchises across town from each other getting their food supplies from US Foods, SYSCO or whomever, and their served product quality is vastly different, it's the people running and managing the operation who are the difference.

One trick is to find the locations where they train the managers.  MANY years ago I was a manager in the Greensboro store where all of the managers of triad locations were trained (Battleground Rd).  90% of the employees there were either training to go to Bo U or had just come back and were finishing up training before going to their location.

Another is to find the busy locations.  The busier they are the less likely they are to develop the bad habits and shortcuts low volume locations develop to keep costs down. Holding food too long, frozen busciuts, not swapping out the batter often enough...

 

It was a long time ago (decades) and I don't know if they still do manager training the same way so that may not still be a thing but the busy store thing tends to work across the quick service landscape.  Hell if they've stopped the training thing that might be part of the problem.

 

And I don't live in the SE anymore so its always been too long when I do get to a Bo and I tend to just be happy for something that isn't Popeye's of KFC

North Carolina Southern food chain Bojangles opened its first Central Texas location in San Antonio on Monday, July 31. The famed chicken and biscuits purveyor opened at 8730 Potranco Road, and lines on opening day stretched around the block — one blogger reported a two-hour wait for her order. This is the latest in the chain’s expansion into Texas, which was announced in June 2021 and supposedly will include locations in Austin. There are currently three locations open in North Texas and one outside of Houston.

      I believe in bryce...

      If you are an athlete or former athlete (myself?  Cornhole 2021-present; Disc Golf 2013-got a mega blister and had to retire; speed walking--every black Friday at Walmart 2003-2009) you know what it is to lose confidence.  Self-inflicted or not (in my view, a lot of 2023 was coaching and a lot of 2024 was confidence), he has confidence now. How fragile is it?  I think the light is on, the game slowed down, and he is ready to do his thing.  He seems to be "mobile in the pocket" instead of "running scared."   Last year, there were times when AT was out, Johnson gone, and all he really had was XL and Coker--a raw rookie with upside and an UDFA rookie.  TE was rarely a viable option. It reminded me of Benjamin and Funchess.   Moore had to step up.  This season, Bryce has weapons.  I expect XL to improve.  I expect TMac to help tremendously, and I think Coker will be solid.  Renfrow?  Horn?  bonuses.

      His points are valid.  However, it seems a bit based on past performance and fails to take into consideration trends and conditions that might suggest growth in 2025.   For one, he breaks the team down by position and ranks them separately.  I guess that is a fair way to do it, but they are dependent upon each other. Last year, our DL sucked.  That impacts the rest of the defense.  With no internal pressure, the QBs simply step up to avoid the Edge rush.  I would have suggested that the internal DL is now featuring pass rushers and large people who can collapse the pocket.  Secondly, the LBs were not protected very well in 2024.  It is hard to see the holes and step up when a guard is in your earhole a second after the snap.  Finally, the defensive backs will be forced to make fewer tackles and they will be better in pass protection with a new and improved DL.    Canales made an interesting comment the other day, and I (from the outside looking in) feel the same way:  (paraphrasing) "I have never seen a better group of rookies."   I think the biggest concern is the learning curve.  How long before these rookies are ready?   I am bullish on this team.  I think they win 3 of their first 4 and get confident.  The get the fans behind them.  From there, they win 6 of the remaining 13.  If they stay injury free, they have an outside shot at the NFC south.

      Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.
