(FOX NEWS) - A popular Long Beach, CA, breakfast spot has found itself in the middle of a fried chicken controversy after a Yelp reviewer attacked the restaurant for using Popeyes chicken and passing it off as their own.

Sweet Dixie Kitchen, a small restaurant specializing in comfort food with a southern influence, was called out by Yelp user Tyler H. of Los Angeles, who claimed in his review, "Before my friends and I got seated [at the restaurant] we saw them quickly bring in two large boxes of Popeyes to the kitchen."

Once seated, Tyler H. ordered fried chicken and waffles that he says tasted "suspiciously like Popeyes."

"I kindly asked our waiter how they cooked their fried chicken. After checking he admitted that they do in fact use Popeyes," Tyler H. continued in his review. "The manager compensated us for the entire meal."
