For years, Popeyes has proudly been serving a Cajun-infused blend of crispy fried chicken and other assorted menu items, formally transporting diners to the mouthwatering eateries of Louisiana with each and every bite.
Now, the iconic fast food chain is delivering what’s guaranteed to be their most ambitious dish yet, as seen through their brand-new partnership with The Surf Lodge.
According to a recent press release from the beloved restaurant, Popeyes will be teaming up with Montauk’s legendary music venue to produce The Surf Lodge’s best-selling Chicken Tender Tower for 2026’s summer season.
“This first-of-its-kind partnership pairs Popeyes legendary Louisiana flavor with the rhythm of The Surf Lodge’s world-renowned Summer Concert Series, placing the brand at the heart of the East Coast’s premier music venue where the world’s top performers and most vibrant summer social scene collide,” the announcement specifically said.
To that end, Popeyes will be handing in The Surf Lodge’s gargantuan Tender Tower, a multi-tiered platter featuring the chain’s hand-battered crispy Louisiana Chicken Tenders served with a flight of Popeyes’ eclectic dipping sauces.
“We’re excited to bring the bold flavor and energy of Popeyes to one of the most iconic destinations in music and culture,” said Matt Rubin, Chief Marketing Officer of Popeyes U.S. and Canada. “Our exclusive partnership with The Surf Lodge and the debut of the Chicken Tender Tower allows us to show up for guests in a fresh, unexpected way, where great music, culture, and craveable food come together to create a uniquely elevated Popeyes experience.”
The dish itself costs an equally impressive $150, but for fans of Popeyes’ chicken, it’s an endlessly delicious, conveniently shareable platter worth having for any concert.
“We are always trying to create magic for our community,” said Jayma Cardoso, Founder and Creative Director of The Surf Lodge. “It’s an iconic collaboration that brings our signature Chicken Tender Towers together with the unmistakable taste of Popeyes. It feels very special and just takes it to another level. It’s fun, unexpected, unforgettable, and it really reflects what makes The Surf Lodge so unique. This is the kind of partnership that just makes sense and I’m excited about this one.”
