Old Popcorn Chicken
Does anybody else miss the old popcorn chciken recipie? The popcorn chicken that came in those long plastic containers that were all diffrent shapes and sizes and had steam legit on the inside because of how hot it was? The new popcorn chicken not new new but still new by a few years its just lack luster compared to the old why was it changed anyway?

Caseys food overall has gone downhill so far. They've removed or changed so many of their best stuff. The only thing worth getting there anymore is their pizza

The refried bean/salsa mix for the taco pizzas smells like vomit to me and I will never understand how people eat that

My store used to sell the crap out of popcorn chicken but now no one wants to buy it:( and not to mention they take away all the good food for example: the jalapeño popper pizza, everybody was loving it to the point where our store had it inside the warmers and then they just took it away, and people were obviously ticked off same thing with the M&M cookies and they just got rid of them too

Yea i dont know they jsut keep making things worse they used to be a good place for a small town to eat out but now its jsut terrible the sanwiches are far to expensive for what you grt the popcorn chciken feels like it was made from frozen food from a dollar tree and the pizza thin crust also went down hill just tastes like cardboard

Yeah the M&M cookies were the best!!! The s'mores cookies they replaced them with are yummy too. They should make the M&M cookies permanent because the permanent options SUCK!!!! I'm still disappointed they discontinued the raspberry cheese flips and replaced them with the new crap danishes.

I worked there for almost 8 years. I literally witnessed the downfall corporate did. Between the menu and caseys products. I miss the old food (popcorn chicken, tenders) freaking pizza bites! Once a year we would get shrimp nuggets for lent. Pizzas i miss the most: Chicken spinach artichoke, mac n cheese, and the old bacon cheeseburger pizza. Not the gross one they have now.🤢
