My only complaint is the Sunday closing. It’s an anachronism and they lose a lot of sales.

...

If they were around 50 years ago, McCartney could have used Chick-fil-A as a placeholder instead of scrambled eggs.

Did it ever occur to you that one of the reasons so many Christians support CFA is because they do close on Sunday?

[Diogenesis]

Chick-fil-A is terrific.

Best fries anywhere with a fantastic range of sauces.

They need a ‘warning label’.
Addiction is a real possibility.

Gotta have a deluxe Chick-Fil-a sandwich: w/ frilly lettuce leaf, vine-
ripened tomato slices, cheese slice. Add a side of hot, crisp waffle fries,
large iced real lemonade, couple containers of CFA's luscious "special
sauce....." and you got lunch.

======================================

No less a sophisticate than Esquire Mag named Chick-fil-a one of the nation's best sandwiches.

ESQUIRE REVIEW You can get a chicken sandwich anywhere, which may explain your low expectations. Boneless breast. Bun. Blah. But down south, there lives an eye-opener.

A come-to-Jesus sandwich. The Chick-fil-A. Seasoned, breaded breast served on a toasted buttered bun with dill- pickle slices. No mayo. No sauce at all. Deceptively simple, yet transcendent. The hook is the breading: spicy, with an intoxicating crunch.

The meat is always juicy, never chewy. The bun is like lingerie -- there, but not, providing delicious support without obscuring the main flavor. The first bite changes everything you think you know about chicken. And about the need for condiments. -- Allison Glock

I don’t really do fast food. That being said, that big “boycott’ against CFA a few years ago because of the “anti-sodomist” position they took caused me to give them a try.

The first thing I noticed was massive lines. Apparently i was not alone. The second thing I noticed was that their food was really good. Frankly, that was a huge surprise.

I ate there probably about 20 times before I went back to my “no fast food” lifestyle. However, I’ll support ‘em again if necessary.

This is not a restaurant review. It's a political hit piece pretentiously using unproven dietary theories to support sexual perversion by denigrating a company's legitimate moral philosophy.

Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner.

[colorado tanker]

No.

People eat there because its good food.

$8 billion a year in non love. thats a lot of non love.....

Pardon the pun but there were two “nuggets” of worthwhile information in what was otherwise a purely political opinion piece. They use peanut oil for frying and as my grandson is severely allergic to peanuts this chain is off the list of places to visit. Secondly, the salt content is too high. Foods prepared without the addition of salt allow the consumer to decide the dosage, based upon best health directives or individual taste, after preparation. Junk foods are heavily laden with salt meant to increase the desire for more. “Bet you can’t eat just one.” being a line from a junk food commercial from years past, junk food which was heavily laden with salt. Otherwise I wish the company the best of luck and as always it pays to read.

“...the Sunday closing.....and they lose a lot of sales.”

And you have a “complaint” about this because it impacts you negatively....how?

[RegulatorCountry]

My only complaint is the Sunday closing. It’s an anachronism and they lose a lot of sales.

Lose sales? Have you seen that place from opening to closing, six days a week? It's a machine, packed double lane drive through and a line inside. They deserve at least one day off, for worship or just rest. They certainly earn it.

[Clutch Martin]

I ate a chicken filet sammich there once and wasn’t impressed at all. I’ll have to try the soup someday. I’ve had a shake, okay... I guess I’m just not into fast food. I would rather eat my own cooking.

[Aunt Polgara]

Don’t forget about the jerk who lost his high paying job and ended up on welfare after he verbally abused the lovely and gracious Rachel at a Chick-fil-A and posted the exchange on youtube.

“Secondly, the salt content is too high”

“Too high” according to who, exactly??

[zeugma]

I was in Chik-fil-a the other day and I noticed something interesting. They seem to be have the largest staff of just about any fast food resturaunt out there. Not only that, but every single one of them is pleasant and helpful. Obviously the crew size doesn't seem to be cutting into their profits much, as I have heard a CFA franchise is pretty much a license to print money. In a world where everyone else is downsizing, it's nice to find a place that knows how to take care of both its customers and its workers.

This particular article reads like it's written by a one of those mental case "LGBTQ" whackjobs, who nonetheless can't argue that CFA does what it does well.
