- Customers have mixed views on the flavour and value.

## Summary

Popeyes has brought its Cajun Onion Rings back to US menus, reviving a side that disappeared from many locations years ago. The limited-time return matters to customers who remember the item, though early reactions are divided between excitement and complaints about its taste and value.

The rings returned on 2 November for $3.99, with Cajun seasoning and buttermilk ranch. They were sold in the 1990s, phased out at many locations in the early 2010s and discontinued at the last locations in 2020. Popeyes is also offering six pieces of Signature Bone-In Chicken for $10 for a limited time.
