Popeyes $5 Faves Menu, Specials & Deals (November 2026)

What is on the Popeyes $5 Faves menu?

The Popeyes $5 Faves menu is a short value list that sits in its own section of the online menu. In our check of app menus at 59 stores in 26 states on Nov. 1, 2026, it offered three items at $5 at most locations:

• 3-piece tenders (classic, spicy or blackened), listed at all 59 stores.
• 2-piece Signature Chicken with a biscuit, listed at 57 stores.
• Two regular sides, listed at 50 stores.

The $5 price is not universal. Popeyes' menu setup labels the section "$5 Faves" for about 2,840 restaurants, "$6 Faves" for about 555 and "$7 Faves" for 43, so expect to pay more in pricier markets. One store we checked also listed a 3-piece Signature Chicken at $5, and one listed a chicken sandwich. The table below shows what we found.

The lineup has come and gone this year. It first ran from Jan. 5 to Feb. 15, 2026, and was back by summer, when Nation's Restaurant News reported that butterfly shrimp had joined it. We found no announced end date for the current run, so it can change without notice.

For context, the $5 Faves tenders are a real discount. Three tenders on their own typically cost $8.59, according to Drive Thru Index's tracking of about 3,000 stores.

What other Popeyes specials are on the menu right now?

Beyond $5 Faves, Popeyes has four specials worth knowing in November 2026. Each one is on the regular online menu, so you do not need a coupon.

• Honey Chicken Biscuit, $5. A chicken filet on an oversized buttermilk biscuit with honey sauce on the side. It launched Sept. 28, 2026, at $5 in most states, and Drive Thru Index shows a range up to $6.49. Our Popeyes chicken sandwich guide compares it with the rest of the lineup.
• Chicken Wraps Bundle, $9.99. Two Chicken Wraps (classic, spicy or Blackened Ranch) plus a premium lemonade or tea. Popeyes' offer terms run through Dec. 31, 2026. A single wrap is $3.99.
• $20 family meal deals. Nine pieces of Signature Chicken or 11 tenders, each with a large side and four biscuits. Details and the rest of the family lineup are on our Popeyes family meals page.
• Build Your Own Bundle. Pick three proteins (chicken, tenders, wings or a chicken sandwich) and two regular sides. Hip2Save and Tasting Table both list it at $20, but the price can vary by store.

Popeyes' menu also includes a Build Your Meal Deal (one protein, one side, one drink and one dessert), but we could not confirm its price.

Does Popeyes have a value menu or dollar menu?

Popeyes has a value menu, the $5 Faves, but no dollar menu. Nothing substantial costs $1, and the cheapest items are add-ons.

Here are the lowest typical prices on the regular menu in November 2026:

• Dipping sauces: about 25 cents each at most stores we checked.
• Buttermilk biscuit: $1.39, or six for $6.19.
• Cinnamon Apple Pie: $1.99, or two for $3.29.
• Chicken Wrap: $3.99.
• Regular side: $3.49 for most sides; homestyle mac and cheese is $3.99. See our Popeyes sides guide.

The Honey Chicken Biscuit at $5 and the $5 Faves items are the cheapest full entrées. If you search for an older "$3.99 special," we could not confirm any national $3.99 deal in November 2026.

What deals are in the Popeyes app?

The Popeyes app adds two kinds of savings on top of the menu: Rewards points and rotating offers.

Popeyes Rewards is free. You earn 10 points per dollar on qualifying orders and trade points for food. Points expire after 180 days without activity.

App offers change often and are not the same for every account or every city. As of Nov. 1, 2026, the offer list in Popeyes' ordering system included:

• A free 2-piece chicken, 3-piece tenders, 6-piece wings or chicken sandwich on a first app order of $10 or more.
• Two chicken sandwiches for about $9 to $10.
• "2 Can Dine" bundles, such as 5-piece chicken or 6-piece tenders with two regular sides and two biscuits, for about $13.99 to $15.99.
• A 10-piece family meal with two large sides and five biscuits for about $26.99 to $29.99.
• T-Mobile Tuesdays freebies for T-Mobile customers.

Treat these as examples. Prices in the list run higher for delivery, and Popeyes can pull or change any of them. Our fast food rewards apps guide compares Popeyes Rewards with other programs.

How much is the Popeyes 2-piece or 3-piece special?

The cheapest 2-piece special at Popeyes is the $5 Faves 2-piece Signature Chicken with a biscuit, and the cheapest 3-piece special is the $5 Faves 3-piece tenders. Both were $5 at most of the 59 stores we checked.

If you want a full meal instead, the regular combos add a side, a biscuit and a drink:

• 2-piece Signature Chicken combo: about $9.99.
• 3-piece Signature Chicken combo: about $11.99.
• 3-piece tenders combo: about $11.99.

The combo prices come from the same 59-store check. A $5 Faves item plus a $1.39 biscuit or a $3.49 side often beats the combo, as long as you can skip the drink. Our Popeyes family meals page lists every combo size.

How do you get the best value at Popeyes?

Start with the $5 Faves section and the app's offer list before you order. Those two places usually beat the regular menu board.

A few more ways to stretch your money:

• Add a gallon to a family meal. The online menu lists a gallon drink add-on for $4, while a gallon on its own was about $6.99 in our check.
• Buy biscuits in bulk. Six cost about $6.19, versus $1.39 each.
• Order pickup, not delivery. Popeyes says prices are higher on delivery, and fees apply.
• Go blackened at no extra cost. Blackened tenders cost the same as classic and have far fewer calories, if that matters to you.

Full prices for everything are on our Popeyes menu page.
