Besides the spicy chicken sandwich biscuits that are great with strawberry jam, the lunch menu also rocks with spicy chicken deluxe sandwiches.

For dinner you can have another FREE spicy chicken sandwich if you take the survey. They taste great with waffle frys.

On the downside, the menu can get pricey and they are a tad slow sometimes.

I had it once when I was in Charlotte and thought it was pretty good. Not exceptional or anything, but good for what it was.

they have waffle fries, which makes them automatically one of the top fast food places in existence

Oh yeah, forgot about that; that must be the part I liked. There is a dearth of waffle fries out there in the world. So sad. :(

Ive had Chick fil a once, and it tasted the same, or worse than what I would consider average fast food chicken. I really do not get the appeal, BK makes much better chicken sandwiches.

Do they still hate gays?

They never did "hate." That was just the impression given by runaway media (including social media).

The founders believe homosexuality is a sin, but they love the "sinner" with "brotherly Christian love."

I crave Chick-fil-a the most on Sundays for some reason.

The secret ingredient to their fried batter is pretty simple. Confectioner's sugar.... If you make a typical batter like what KFC uses and throw about 1/4 of a cup of powered sugar in it, you'll see what I mean. It's like crack cocaine when it hits your tongue.

BK chicken sandwich is likely processed in China. The chicken patty is nasty prison grade quality made with mashed up meat/by products.

Chick fila uses real chicken breast. The stores are clean and the customer service is the best in the fast food industry. They also have all the condiments in packets. They even have throwaway plastic table cover for babies and small children. Chickfila should be the model for every fast food restaurant. I just wish the company wasn't private so I could buy their stock.

Are they closed on Sunday nationwide? All the ones I'm used to are.

I like it. They have good options for young kids. The nuggets are actual pieces of chicken and not some overly processed crap like McDonalds or Wendy's. They also have good fruit options that my kids like. And the kids meals come with some nice books usually instead of a piece of plastic junk from China.

Excellent point too...the place mats for toddlers are awesome little touches that go a long way for parents.

Maybe, but it tastes good. Always add cheese.


Chick-fil-a is always packed with screaming, slimy, little germbags. It's like the customers are all vying for the breeders' cup.

They have really good food and the stores around here have nice people working in them. I remember the huge thing about having gay people work for them or something and all that drama. Something must have changed because at several stores there have been several gay men working there and they seemed openly gay and not afraid or concerned about being themselves.
Also, we bring our two kids and let them take their shoes off and run around like crazy in that play area. They touch the same play surfaces as all the other coughing, sneezing little kids and then come back to the table to eat dinner once its served, so I have no idea what IronWing is talking about.

I like their breakfast over most any other fast food place, but their coffee sucks. Lunch is pretty decent as well for a quick meal. At least their places are always quite clean and generally nice enough to be in. I typically get the wraps, but those can be hit or miss depending on the store and a tad expensive. The new grilled chicken is a nice improvement over the old, not sure exactly what they did to it though.

For what you get though I think it's pretty reasonable. Plus I've heard they treat their employee's decently. Seems to be working since they are quite profitable.

I'd love for them to come into NY,.. but, douchery will reign supreme.

Instead of people not going in, there will be pickets and protests.
