If Springfield is any indication, you are correct.

I find even within the same city, some Chik-Fil-A's don't do as much in terms of being friendly, cleaning frequently, or making the dining area pleasant.

I ultimately like them though.

Having eaten at numerous CFA's across the south and experiencing the same stellar service at all, I find your claim hard to believe.

If Springfield is any indication, you are correct.

If Philadelphia suburbs (not counting cheltenham one which i say is the city anyway, the workers there don’t like white people) are the north, it’s incorrect. Chick fil a is the most packed fast food place there is, by a long shot, and everyone that works there (in the burbs) are extremely friendly and the service is much appreciated.

They just opened on here recently and I got a spicy chicken sandwich and to be honest it wasn't that great, Wendy's spicy chicken is mo betta. I like they have waffle fries but most of the time they aren't well done.

Am I missing what makes them good or am just a person with bad fast food tastes?

Ive never been a fan of their spicy stuff, go traditional.

Try the sausage egg and cheese breakfast biscuit, or chicken biscuit with honey.

If their waffle fries are not perfect you need to tell them, they usually are.

There are two on Long Island NY now. The one near Port Jefferson was able to find nice friendly kids to work there, but the one in Commack not so much.

Southern Charm? I remember spending a week in Raleigh several years ago and it was not until my last day that I actually heard a southern accent in a fast food joint and it was at an Arby's.

The spicy chicken sandwich is hit or miss though. When you get a good one they are awesome.

So did you get “a spicy chicken sandwich” or did you make multiple trips and have multiple sandwiches at a joint that just opened? It seems kind of weird to continually go back to a good place which just opened that you don’t find all that food.

Troll thread.

So you didn’t like the fries and thought the sandwich was just ok but you got it a couple times at the other one! And just decided to post because of a new one?

I don’t like the spicy either fwiw, but it’s still a troll thread

Exact same thing when I went to the one on UNCW campus. The chicken itself was very good, tender, juicy. The spicy seasoning on it I didn't think was that good. The fries were mushy, probably tasted good when they came out of the fryer, but these were definitely heat lamp fries.

This was on a Saturday, the campus was pretty dead. Will try again at another location though.

Vegan activists like to protest that place, and so do the anti-religion activists, the same type of people who want the 10 commandments removed from State property but its okay to have a satanic monument put in in its place.

I never got what the thing was with their chicken sandwiches or anything else, yeah Wendys was better or the chicken sandwich that burger king has. That goes back a while ago though, I dont eat that stuff now.

The food is OK. I tend to side with those saying McD's or Wendy's sandwiches are better. CFA has better sides though, and the service is off-the-charts great. It's pretty much academic for me since I rarely feel like enduring the wait.

The chicken is unique so it’s ok to not like it. If you don’t like pickles, you likely won’t like their chicken. The deal with CFA hype is maybe 40% food and 60% everything else (good service, religious stuff; etc).

Of course that’s all common knowledge so I’m guessing you just wanted to stir some shit over a tired subject. Next time you get bored, make an In-and-out VS Whataburger thread.

Best customer service of any fast food joint. If you can find one that sells burgers, yummm! Not a big chicken sandwich guy.

I personally think their food is not that good. When we got one I tried it and my chicken was soggy and it didn't taste that good. But it is God's Chicken and has a cult following for some reason. People flock to it like bugs to a zapper. I don't get it, but yo each their own. Granted I am not much of a fast food person.

ETA. Wendy's is way better. IF I pick up fast food Wendy's blows all others out of the water.

Around Atlanta, it is the only fast food chain that I'm aware of that doesn't exclusively hire ghetto trash. Whom screw up your order about half the time...

The food quality is a bonus.

I like the people who praise Chick-fil-A for not being open on the lords day. But patronize every other eat em up joint in town with their gluttony on Sunday.

ETA: I think their food is ok, service is great, and price is astronomical. We eat there maybe twice a year, but we don't eat out much. My wife is an excellent cook and has really shown me what good food really is.

Last I checked they stopped giving to the more political groups that were whining that gays shouldnt enjoy the freedoms they enjoyed.

Im sure they donate to southern baptist marriage seminars that dont accept gays but you have to be retarded to be a gay and want to go to one of those things. If gays valued their biblical perspective they wouldnt be in a gay relationship to begin with
