How long will Popeyes onion rings be around?
For a limited time, while supplies last. Popeyes hasn't given an end date. If you want them, go sooner rather than later.
Are these the old Popeyes onion rings?
Not exactly. Popeyes sold onion rings for decades, then phased them out. The last US restaurants dropped them around 2020, and fans have asked for them back ever since.
The 2026 version is a new recipe with Cajun spice:
- Crunchy coating that holds the onion in place
- Mild Cajun kick, not too spicy
- Not very greasy, per Tasting Table's review
Tasting Table called them good, and better than Burger King's or White Castle's onion rings, but said they don't match the flaky originals. Its test order had 8 rings.
Where were Popeyes onion rings tested?
Popeyes quietly tested Cajun Onion Rings at select US locations in summer 2026. A TikTok post from Miramar, Florida, showed them for $3.99 in July, with a small sauce. Now they're on menus at participating restaurants.
What to pair them with
- Sauces: Popeyes didn't pair an official sauce. Ranch or Blackened Ranch cool the spice
- Mains: chicken sandwich, wings or the $10 six-piece chicken deal
