"The rub is too dry, too cloying, and more likely to get stuck to the roof of your mouth than actually add any flavor to the shrimp."
"We found that the taste of the Buffalo dry rub was so one-dimensional that we were hoping for more salt just to give the flavoring more depth."
"One reviewer on TikTok noted after tasting several of the shrimp that the flavor was 'too Creole-y,' and ending by saying 'don't get the Buffalo.'"
"Another customer on TikTok said that Popeyes 'didn't really disperse the seasoning well' in the Buffalo Dry Rub Shrimp Tackle Box."
Popeyes has reintroduced its seafood menu with new dry rub options for the Shrimp Tackle Box, including Ghost Pepper and Buffalo. However, the Buffalo Rub is criticized for being too dry and lacking the expected flavor of traditional Buffalo sauce. Reviewers noted that the seasoning was poorly distributed, resulting in a one-dimensional taste that overshadowed the shrimp. Overall, the Buffalo Rub Shrimp Tackle Box is deemed a flop, similar to previous dry rub offerings from Popeyes.
