Chick Fil-A

Night Hawks · September 17, 2010

Everyone's going crazy in the Chicago suburbs over three Chick Fil-A restaurants coming around. They had one at my college town and didn't really do much for me. Am I missing something?

Sweatpants · September 17, 2010

Back in the day, I remember Chic-Fil-A being awesome. Now it sucks

Sweet Love · September 17, 2010

The cult following is a little much, but their sweet tea is excellent and the chiken (whether nuggets or the sandwich) are next to none (for fast food). If you put it in a "real world situation", where you are driving down the road, see a McD, BK or Chik, the Chick-fil-a is like an oasis.

If you want to make a boatload of money, open a chicken stand. Park it in the Chick-Fil-A parking lot every Sunday.

Chadstroma · September 17, 2010

Never been. Only heard of it because of how the company has differentiated itself. Look forward to trying it out when one comes around.

Chaka · September 17, 2010

It's better than KFC or El Pollo Loco I guess. But that isn't saying much.

Aggie 86 · September 17, 2010

1. For the record, I'm a Five Guys fan. Probably why I'm 15+ lbs. overweight. For fast food chicken - give me a Popeye's.

2. My wife and daughter LOVE Chick-fil-A.

3. The staff is incredible. Was in one the other day - very professional. Not the typical fast food staff.

4. Not that this matters, but I live in the burbs. Took my daughter into a Chick-fil-A for lunch a few months ago. Place was crawling with soccer moms and I don't mean the 5'-2", 200 lbs. one either. Now don't get me wrong - I'm in my late 40's and very happily married. But if I were single - I would start here. :thumbup:

A lot of the following has to do with the company itself...it thrives in the bible states (like NC) due to the fact it is not open on Sundays...literally, place is shut down tight. It also is a great place to work as the college reimbursement program is supposed to be incredible. The result is, you get a Macy's-like staff serving you fries. To some people that may not mean much, but if you ever pulled into a McD or BK and the guy/gal at the window looks as though they haven't showered in a week and are strung out, you just may want to get your food some place else.Food is fine, fast food, but fine. Honestly, it is really the only fast food we let the kids (I have three under 8) get.

azgroover · September 17, 2010

Always nice service, tasty natural-shaped nuggets with an abundance of sauces and deliciously fattening shakes.

whoknew · September 17, 2010

It's pretty simple. The chicken is very good for fast food. The inside is always extremely clean. The staff is terrific.

It's a much better fast food experience than almost anywhere else if you are ok with a chicken sandwich.

Guzalot · September 17, 2010

As far as fast food goes it's top notch. Which isn't saying much, but still...

I hear it's owned by Christians and they are not open on Sundays. Can anyone confirm this? Not that it matters to me if they are Christian. In-N-Out is owned by Christians and they put out a beautiful product/ not packed with poisons. They even have John 3:16 printed on the bottom of their cups. What I'm trying to extrapolate is if there is a correlation between being an openly Christian owned fast food joint and the quality of the food, like the fact that it's real chicken and not some sort of Monsanto lab experiment. I don't know I've never eaten there but there is one on the way to Vegas. I keep hearing that Chik-fil-a is a quality product.

Enlighten me.

It is owned by Christians, I understand it is a requirement for a franchise. Aside from that, you don't notice it is a "christian" place. Nobody I know goes there for that reason. I do think the employees reflect ownerships beliefs - but nobody is preaching while they work.During the week, I eat at chick-fil-a just about every day. Food is above average for fast food - it is still fast food. Service is outstanding. Place is always over-staffed. Everyone is trained well. (Next time you are in one, say "thank You" - I think they are all trained to say "my pleasure" every time.) It is just refreshing to go someplace where everyone is nice and friendly.And, as mentioned above soccer-mom heaven imo

Mrs DaVinci · September 17, 2010

The food at Chick-fil-A is better than other fast food places, but I still consider it meh....although the Polynesian Sauce is super-duper YUMMY!!

He then goes on to say, repeatedly, that it doesn't matter to him other than wondering about the Sunday thing and whether something about being religious = some moral obligation to put out higher quality fast food.

To answer your first question- that's correct, they're not open on Sundays for religious reasons.

Man, you all are touchy.

There are a lot of us in the bible belt that have a gripe with them not being open on Sundays....that seems to be the day I crave it most :thumbdown:

In the stores around here, the only way you know it's "Christian owned" is because they are closed on Sunday. I don't think I've ever been in one and thought "man, I bet a Christian owns this place". It's not like they are playing church music, have crosses hanging everywhere etc.

That's not the only one they have. They have grilled chicken and lettuce, tomato, and cheese toppings. They also have a chicken salad sandwich.

I've personally never seen/heard of Veggie Tales. Not saying they don't give this stuff out though. Since I've never seen it, I don't know for sure, but I suspect it's a series that teaches common morality types of things? Things that can be found everywhere including Christian texts? Or do they teach specific beliefs like the flood etc?

Echo what most have said. Like other places they have some nice options if you want to at least give the appearance of healthy (salad or fruit instead of fries).

I wonder what their training is like to get their staff to be so great at customer service. I had one girl jump out the drive-up window and chase me down to give me my card.

MILF city.

Their nugget tray is great for parties/games.

Some of the most blatant displays of bigotry I've seen on this board has been towards Christians.

Buckna · September 17, 2010

Places make money hand over fist for a number of reasons.

-They have a huge emphasis on customer service and their benefits attract a much higher quality employee than most other fast food joints. The dining experience is usually top notch.

-They are indeed christian owned, closed on Sundays and heavily involved in the community almost like a youth group for a church. That appeals to a large subset of customers. Me? I could care less.

-Their distribution model and menu are based on what made McDonald's huge in the 60's. A very simple menu item as their staple: a fried chicken patty on a bun with two pickles which allows them to make every thing quickly and in huge batches. It also means they don't have to stock inventory on a host of other menu items that may spoil or not sell as well. As opposed to McDonald's & Burger King or other places who have huge varied menu's now and champion everything made to order. Made to order causes delay's, increases serving time, and causes like 90% of the error's. People wonder why when they order "No onions, mustard instead of mayo, extra cheese and jalopeno's" it takes longer for them to get their order than the others in line.

-Genius marketing. While I think the "Eat More Chikin" cows ad campaign has gotten really stale and old, there's no doubt it's won over a huge crowd over the years. I know I thought it was hilarious when it first started.

-They've convinced people they are more healthy version of fast food when they aren't really all that much healthier.

-Definitely benefiting from a "fad" type hysteria these days which helps too. I know tons of women who love eating in at a Chik Fil A but wouldn't be caught dead in a McDonald's.

GroveDiesel · September 17, 2010

They simply do things a notch better than most fast food places. If your kid doesn't want the toy, they can trade it back in for an ice cream cone. The kids meals come with a wet wipe and a plastic placemat that actually sticks to the table.

Little things like that really add value to the dining experience and make you feel appreciated as a customer instead of just a one of a billion bodies served.

pollardsvision · September 17, 2010

I've always had mixed feelings about Chick-Fil-A.

Love the Chicken Sandwich. Love the service. Love the waffle fries. As others have said, when it comes to fast food, it really doesn't get much better.

The closed on Sunday thing just annoys me though. Not that it's inconvenient. If I'm thinking chicken on a Sunday, I go with Bojangles. I'm not a Christian, so the whole thing seems silly to me. I'm fine with people believing in something. I respect it. It just seems presumptuous to assume that all your employees share those beliefs. I'd just prefer that religion stay out of the multi-billion dollar deep-fried chicken pieces/potatoes/corn-syrup laden sauce businesses.

Big fan, but around here they are only in the mall.

Back in the day when I worked in the mall the sunday thing pissed me off, because they had good food AND gave free refills on drinks!

Dated a christian dancer chick from their once. She actually served me a couple of nice sized breasts, which was a pleasant surprise.

This is exactly what I thought but I'm hoping that maybe it's just b/c it was a small area in a food court at school. So I'll try what an actual full-fledged restaurant offers.

I think this is a lot of it. Kids like chicken nuggets. Their chicken nuggets actually seem like real chicken. Also... BEFORE the trend was all these "homestyle", high-end chicken sandwiches at every other fast food joint..... ChikFilA made a quality chicken sammich. Now everyone and their mother has gone after their segment with both guns blazing... so the product is no longer unique. One interesting thing... Like In N OUt, their employees generally seem to not to downright resent you for showing up at their place of work... which makes the experience better.
