By all early accounts, Gov. Mike Huckabee's "Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day" seems like a wild success.
Conservatives are lining up in droves. Former Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum is offering his support and urging supporters to visit a restaurant. One Wendy's franchise owner expressed his support for Chick-fil-A at a North Carolina Wendy's.
Chick-fil-A originally incurred a backlash when COO Dan Cathy affirmed in an interview that the company did not support gay marriage.
"We are very much supportive of the family the biblical definition of the family unit," Cathy said.
Some mayors around the country including Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino have publicly supported the boycott of Chick-fil-A.
According to its Facebook event page, more than 630,000 people planned to go to Chick-fil-A today.
Many of them took to Twitter and Instagram to document the craziness. As of this writing, there were almost 60,000 Instagram photos tagged with #chickfila.

"Americas chickens... are coming home... to ROOST!"
But I approve. It has weight.
Re #18 — I understand your point, but my 3 daughters would be with me. Not sure I want them exposed to certain things at ages 8, 9 & 11.... OTOH, talk about a learning experience!
Perhaps drive-thru will be in order.
I agree with the mayor for exactly opposite reasons.
I'll see you there :<) Chandler Blvd
In many stores, the manager is also the franchisee.

God bless Wendy’s for supporting CFA. Chick-fil-A gets my business for chicken and, when I feel like a burger, I’ll be going to Wendy’s, for sure. (screw Mickey D’s)
Thank you! I figured it out and the pictures are right below you post.
Wow.... Impressive for California!!! In Texas we had crowds but nothing like those. I think Obama and the left is in deep trouble come November. We vote... We spend our money and we are the SILENT MAJORITY! I feel that God has to be pleased with his people today.
Same with Vineland NJ store. Tons of people, but everyone was polite and the line moved quickly.
gays calling it kissing day
lol
I am certainly going to enjoy the games, win or lose. But War Eagle anyway! (and even Go Vols)
Wow. Great thread and great pics! Gives me hope.
I’m guessing that there was a day when America’s President would have stood in line and rubbed elbows. Let’s get there again!
I Like that !!
Chick-Fil-A restaurants are clean and efficient. But, at 4pm, the Chick-Fil-A near me (about 30 miles away from the one you went to) didn’t seem much busier than it usually is. That is, it’s usually busy, and today was no different. I wonder if it was even busier at lunchtime...
