Why didn't you just say that from the start?

I disagree because people like that it's clean, has friendly workers and good food. I think people find it annoying that their religious beliefs keep them closed on Sunday.

People find it annoying because those are the people who are all about me, what I want, all the time its me me me me me.

It is quite humorous actually. If a restaurant being closed on a day gets your panties in a wad, then your priorities are out of whack.

PSA, Don't try to shop at hobby lobby on Sunday either. Just sayin...

CFA = most friendly staff in the fast food biz IMO. I like it when you say thank you, they would reply with "My pleasure" instead of "no problem".

Their food is ok to me, kinda expensive.

I don't know why some of you think they are too religious. I ate there several times (at several different locations) and they did not try to convert me or anything remotely religious or as such.

I heard they put an addictive chemical in their chicken that makes you crave church fortnightly, smartass!

Wow after reading this thread, I want to eat at Chik fil a, and I didn't even like the joint when I've been there before. Just to support these Catholics. lols.

my friend from NC got so excited that its opening in CA. My other friend on the east coast said that he'd trade 5 Guys and Chick-fil-A for In-n-Out. Except too bad 5 Guys is in CA now too.

Chik-Fil-A is the most overrated shit I've ever eaten. I've had worse food, sure, but everyone loves CFA so much and it's such shit.

Chicken sandwiches there are exactly the same as the ones from every other shitty fast food restaurant but sadder looking and with no toppings. Yet everyone loves them. Is there some sort of brainwashing cult?

Anyway fuck Chik-fil-A.

You must have a really crappy one near you. The ones by me are top notch. The chicken is always super juicy and tender, they have an awesome salad selection, and their milkshakes are freakin' delicious.

The closest one from me is about 5 miles away(they started in the mall and then built a full size with drive thru building in mall's parking lot) and I've never liked them enough to drive that far to visit them regularly. The chicken has always been tough and overcooked the few times that I have eaten there over the last decade or so.

I like that the chicken nuggets are real chicken and not reformed ground chicken mush.

The rare occasion where we don't have time to cook, it is one of the options I'll let my kids eat.

we had a chik fil-A at the student center as one of our campus restaurants--1 sandwich qualified on the weekly meal plan, as well.

that was possibly one of the greatest times of my life.

this friend is a fool.

The closest Chik Fil-A to me is, I think, an hour away.

I like to get a side salad instead of fries & the 3 piece chicken meal. With Diet Dr. Pepper, it's a pretty healthy meal, especially if you get their light italian dressing & don't use much of it.

Our Chik fil a is in the middle of one of my main shopping strips, so I go there a couple times a month. Being closed on Sundays is pretty inconvenient, though, because I'm right there on many a sunday, not wanting to make dinner :(

let me know when your bank puts this statement in their corporate handbooks:

To glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us.


But no one really cares. They have excellent chicken, which unfortunately is unavailable on Sunday.

You should never let god come in between you and some delicious chicken.

There is a Chik-Fil-A and an In-N-Out right across the street from each other here. Lets just say In-N-Out is constantly busy while CFA looks like a barren desert.

At the shopping complex down the street there is another INO and CFA right next door to each other and the situation is the same.

I dont know how they survive here.

I ate at a Chick Fil A in, I don't know, Daytona maybe? It was decent, but nothing to write home about. I do chuckle at their Eet Mor Chikin ads though.
