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.

    • That can be a chicken or the egg scenario. Canales knows what the QB is good at and is not good at better than we do.  He would have reasons for not calling deep shots, if he is holding back. They could include protection concerns, as well as any Young related motivations.  I think there always the chance Bryce doesn’t see the man open down the field and it is just that simple, more than a confidence issue. Probably a mix of the two.   
    • This is a partially bad take.  Willis is the only guy mentioned here that can reasonably be expected to perform at a level higher than Bryce.  Winston and Minshew is washed, and Howell was not good in Washington as a starter and didn’t field a single snap this past year. I swear the only reason people are obsessed over him is that he went to UNC.  You’re not going to have better success, or even potential for success with those guys as your QB as you would with Bryce. Now, if you want to argue this thing from a production per dollars perspective, that it’d be better to roll with one of them instead because we could allocate the savings elsewhere on the roster, that’d be a better argument IMO. I’d disagree with it; relying on a QB making less they $5MM/year that isn’t on a rookie contract is not a winning strategy.  But I could see the argument that it’s possibly a viable alternative to Bryce on a $25MM/year contract.    But no, none of those QBs are better than Bryce. 
    • No team hits on every pick.  Every coach and GM will eventually get fired.   We are a better team and have greatly increased the talent on the roster. Bad GMs lead to losses.   I love the teams current setup in the front office and the process in how we look at talent and coaching.  Canales has often said we want to have a player developmental philosophy as a core tenant.  I love that combined with cutting edge analytics and good football knowledge and experience.
