So Chick Fil A just opened in my hometown of Rochester, New York. The lines are so long that they wrap around several blocks to use the drive-through window. Right now the wait time is about an hour; I’m hoping in a couple months it will settle down. I’ve never tried Chick Fil A and I’m really looking forward to it.
I usually don’t use the drive thru for that reason. I park
walk in and order, get my order and out the door.
That tells you about wanting to check out the food. However,
the first 100 customers get free food for a year so if you
like chicken it may be worth the wait.
You will love it. And the menu is not just chicken strips. Seasoning is excellent, best possible ingredients, smiles on the face of all the staff. Absent all of the NYC rudeness, I think that is why that crowd fought them coming in. Threat to the cultural reputation.
There are a number of regional restaurants in Texas that have done very well. None have been more successful overall than Chic Fil A.
CFA is the best. The food is impeccable, and the service is too. They are not just nice, they are extremely efficient.
My nearby CFA has lines around the building into the street at lunch guaranteed, and a bit less at dinner. Better to go inside. The one by my DH’s work is crowded, but not as bad. Either way, sometimes even their efficiency cannot make up for the popularity! There is just too much traffic for even a great company like CFA to handle perfectly. But I still love them.
The chicken sandwiches are great. The milkshakes are fantastic. Fries great. My mother thought their carrot salad was the greatest, but they stopped that item. Shame.
They are so good, that not only are there incredible lines, but people made the biggest statement on Chick-Fil-A Day ever. Never has there been such a huge protest turn-out! No damn OWS BLM illegal commies ever succeeded in making that kind of turn-out...and it’s a smack in the face to those very bastards.
“I’ve never tried Chick Fil A and I’m really looking forward to it.”
I can help. As a former Rochester person, let me put it in perspective:
Chick Fil A is to fast food restaurants as Wegmans is to grocery stores.
Chick Fil A is to chicken sandwiches as Abbott’s is to ice cream.
Assuming Chick Fil A can keep the same standard there, you’ll find courteous, respectful and friendly staff. The restaurant will be clean. The Manager will be actively involved. The food will be very good. I’ve observed this consistently across many Chick Fil A’s (including the one about 2 miles from my home).
Hope you enjoy.
