Popeyes Hours — Opening & Closing Times

Craving fried chicken at an odd hour? Most Popeyes restaurants keep long, consistent hours, with the drive-thru open latest. Here's the full Popeyes hours guide for 2026.

Because every Popeyes is independently franchised, exact times shift by location and by holiday — but the pattern below holds for most U.S. restaurants. When in doubt, the app and Google Maps always show the live hours for the specific store nearest you (find one on our locations page).
