-- How do you REALLY feel about Chick Fil A?
 
How do you feel about it?

Lay it on the line about the product Chick Fil A puts out.

If you don't like Chick Fil A, you're a communist. And not even a good communist. You're one of those Albanian communists.

Frazod 08-07-2013 07:24 PM

I've actually never eaten there. They opened one near the local mall, but I haven't bothered to try it yet.

It is funny how sandwiches always look so perfect and big in the commercials, and then in real life it looks like somebody sat on it. :D

Simply Red 08-07-2013 07:24 PM

I like them - but if I'm to criticize - The cherry tomatoes in their salads are unpleasant.

Eleazar 08-07-2013 07:24 PM

I like their cornucopia of dipping sauces.

MagicHef 08-07-2013 07:25 PM

I worked there for two years, and I still like eating there. I think that says a lot.

RealSNR 08-07-2013 07:25 PM

Never been to one.

Simply Red 08-07-2013 07:26 PM

I don't like anything exploding in my mouth unless it's caramel or a clean, sanitized vagina.

Simply Red 08-07-2013 07:28 PM

anytime I cook and add cherry tomatoes they're most definitely 'halved' every time.

I have eaten there many times, and I have never had a sandwich that looked as bad as the one in the OP.

I remember when every burger I got from Wendy's looked like that. But they always tasted good.

ROFL that was funny - I tend to agree.

KCUnited 08-07-2013 07:31 PM

I'm rarely in the mood for a chicken sandwich.

Simply Red 08-07-2013 07:31 PM

The top of the bun is freaking me out a little bit - I don't think i could have hand-pick a more unfair representation.

Raiderhater 08-07-2013 07:32 PM

Actually, Chic Fil A comes closer to reproducing the product shown in commercials than anyone else. Some times Arby's does but, they are not quite as consistent.

Frazod 08-07-2013 07:33 PM

I'll have to try their spicy chicken sandwich one of these days.

Hammock Parties 08-07-2013 07:33 PM

If you don't like Chic Fi A, the terrorists wn.

Eleazar 08-07-2013 07:35 PM

The spicy ones are pretty good. Spicier than a Wendy's spicy chicken, which is still pretty tasty.

Simply Red 08-07-2013 07:36 PM

it's a decent tasting product. It's solid - but somewhat a boring product. That's my piece.

If I'm to criticize - you ordered a salad at Chick-Fil-A.



But for real, I think it's the best fast food place in existence. Spicy chicken sandwich with waffle fries and some extra nuggets, just cause.

corn fed chief 08-07-2013 07:37 PM

It's the only fast food I'll eat anymore... to be honest.

Cool. I like the Wendy's sandwich. IMO the best spicy chicken sandwich is from Brown's, which is a local Chicago area chain most of you probably haven't heard of.

Consistent1 08-07-2013 07:41 PM

Haven't been to one for awhile. I did always think it was pretty good food.

This is absolutely correct. Decent, but boring. Boring menu, boring sandwiches. Just boring.

Don't they like gay people or something? I seem to remember someone on here was trying to display and sell a mattress there.

Spicy chicken is good but they are kinda pricey

Waffle fries for the win

Ate there once. Completely forgettable.

Big news in Jefferson City today, Chik Fil A was granted a building permit~

Baby Lee 08-07-2013 08:01 PM

They're not exactly Starbucks or S'Barro in terms of penetration here. One in the campus mess in the far-flung IL 'burbs, and the other in the food court way the eff out West County Mall.

For me, 35 mi one direction or 20 mi the other. Kind of far to go for a FF sammich.

So, never ate, tasted, smelled, sensed, saw anything Fil-A outside TV and the intertubes.

KCrockaholic 08-07-2013 08:05 PM

I like dog food better than Chik Fil A, therefore I go to Taco Bell instead.

I'm a BK fan, but I've never enjoyed the OCS, tried it 1/2 dozen x in the past few years d/t the great coupons out there for it.

Not BAD per se, just UTTERLY unremarkable. I think that the only reason I can't thing of a more boring experience than eating BK's OCS is that any experience actually more boring probably put me in a coma.

Wildcat2005 08-07-2013 08:06 PM

I like it better than Burger King, McDonalds, Arbys, etc...

Then again I dont eat hamburgers

DeezNutz 08-07-2013 08:08 PM

Easily the most overrated fast-food restaurant in the US. Thankfully for them, their marketing campaign is on point, because their food sure as **** isn't.

Phobia 08-07-2013 08:08 PM

I like it. Don't eat there often. Won't go out of my way to go there. But if I'm hungry at a stop-light with McD's, Arbys, LJS, and CfA, I'm going for Chicken every time.

For me, a fresh ocs contends for best fast food chicken sandwich. If its not fresh, its terrible.

The hardees chicken from about 20 years ago is the only one that I would say is clearly better.

DeezNutz 08-07-2013 08:12 PM

Yep, there's something about a fresh OCS with cheese that's outstanding. Similarly, I think that Sonic can produce a great hamburger, when fresh and hot, but this happens < 20% of the time for me, and thus I rarely eat there.

And by "great," I mean for fast food, obviously. When I'm grilling at home, a great burger means bread crumbs, 20 types of seasoning, mayo, soy sauce, and pepperoni all mixed into delicate patties.

Negative. Chipotle is almost always fresh, and their hot sauce and guac are solid.

Ceej 08-07-2013 08:16 PM

It's okay.

But, not worth waiting in a long line for.

People are ****ing crazy or stupid doing that shit.

I can understand where you're coming from there. A fresh, hand-made tortilla is unbelievable. If that's the make or break point, yeah, Chipotle underwhelms.

Chipotle is the biggest scam fast food franchise out there. they charge like $10 for a burrito that is stuffed with rice. It's 75% rice (which is the cheapest food you can stuff anything with) and a little meat. Oh, and if you want guac, or whatever, you gotta pay extra.

This chain was started in Colorado, in Denver. I'm from CO and lived in Denver so I knoweth from whence I speaketh.

Chick Fil A is bland over priced chicken

You can get it without rice.

Bugeater 08-07-2013 08:44 PM

I have never eaten at a Chick Fil A. There's only one in the Omaha area and I've never had the ambition to go out of my way to go there. I do see one every time I go to St Joe, but it's right next to 54th St Bar & Grill, and 5-4 wins that battle every time.

BWillie 08-07-2013 08:51 PM

Those Taco Bell Doritas tacos are the shit. I don't even care that they're stuffed with dog food/horse meat/whatever. They're wonderful. They could be made out of Soylent Green and I'd tear 'em up.

JoeyChuckles 08-07-2013 08:57 PM

Chick Fil A decided to make their politics a matter of public record. Since their politics and my politics differ, I don't eat there.

I had it a few years ago and it was okay, not great. As a chicken sandwich connoisseur, I would rate it below Burger King and Wendys, but this was 2009 or so.

IowaChiefs83 08-07-2013 09:01 PM

It's an overpriced McChicken sandwich.

Good effing lord. What a baby.

Im telling you. The hatred of the ghey makes it taste better. Its just like god made it.

I disagree with any policy that includes "going green" and politics surrounding saving the environment to give excuse to be cheap. But if somebody produces a good product, i could not care less about politics. Ill buy hterrorist curry if it tastes good.

'Hamas' Jenkins 08-07-2013 09:14 PM

The waffle fries and cookies are much better than the sandwiches. The cookies are really good.

Frazod 08-07-2013 09:18 PM

Okay, I'm going to make this happen, dammit. We're visiting friends tomorrow evening and there's a Chick Fil A on the way.

Rasputin 08-07-2013 09:21 PM

If I had to choose two fast food restaurants to live off of the rest of my life it would be Chick Fil A and Wataburger. Sadly there are none around here.

Not the ones at the local Mexican chain I go to.

Just because I like Taco Bell doesn't mean that I don't appreciate actual good Mexican food. Chipotle is overrated shit.
