The Louisiana-based chain is introducing breakfast sandwiches, muffins, sweet snacks and sides after the initial menu reveal last March, with fans who've tried it already calling it “so, so good.”
Another said: “KFC literally doesn't come anywhere close to Popeyes”, while a third added that “it's (a) really nice breakfast”.
Fast food fans can buy a Big Cajun Roll from £4.99, which comes with a sausage patty, Cajun hash brown, a free-range egg and four smoked pork belly strips.
Meanwhile, customers can buy Popeyes' signature Louisiana Biscuit in cinnamon, Nutella, Hartley's strawberry jam and honey flavors, with prices starting from £1.50.
For those not keen on the biscuit, the chain is also selling an egg and cheese muffin for £3.50, as well as bacon and sausage variants.
Foodies looking for something lighter can opt for the English muffin with Hartley's strawberry jam for £1.99.
Between February 20 and March 20, foodies can also grab a bacon sandwich, hash brown and a drink for £1.99 instead of £2.99.
And with all the sandwiches and muffins on the menu, you can choose a meal deal, meaning customers can add on a hash brown and drink from an extra £1.
Shoppers looking for something McDonald's-esque can also pick up a hash brown or Cajun hash brown for £1.50.
Customers can now pick up the new breakfast menu items at 22 Popeyes locations until 11 a.m.
However, the chain's locations in Westfield Stratford, Chelmsford, Derby, Romford, Ilford, Leicester, Ealing or its delivery kitchens are not selling the new breakfast menu items.

It comes after Popeyes announced plans to open a further 30 locations across the UK before the end of 2024.
The US-founded chain, which fans say serves the 'best burgers in the UK', opened its first UK restaurant in November 2021.
Popeyes said the latest move will create around 2,000 jobs, with branches across the UK including in Birmingham, Aberdeen and Swansea.
When the chain made the announcement on Jan. 22, the quick-service restaurant chain was operating 38 locations, including five drive-thrus.
Popeyes first opened in 1972 in New Orleans, Louisiana and has 350 locations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
The company operates 3,400 restaurants in 25 countries.
Meanwhile, Popeyes isn't the first fast-food chain to announce a major update to its breakfast menu in recent weeks.
The home of the Big Mac McDonald's added eight new items to restaurant menus earlier this month, including its breakfast box.
It came after fans had been crying for years for the iconic menu item to return.
Also included in the menu update were the never-before-seen KitKat Ruby Chocolate McFlurry and Raspberry and White Chocolate Pie.
