Fast and tasty is the goal for many fast food restaurants. These restaurants can be everyone's guilty pleasure. Mainly because the food isn’t usually the healthiest thing you can eat, but it sure can be delicious. Chick-Fil-A is just one of the popular fast food chains whose main focus food is their fried chicken. Why is Chick-Fil-A’s service known as one of the best around for fast food restaurants? This is the question we’ll be diving into, and really breaking down the whole experience from parking to cleaning your plate. By the end of this review, you’ll be able to decide if Chick-Fil-A is going to be your next favorite place to stop and eat.


Finding a parking space once you pull in is one of the most difficult parts of the whole Chick-Fil-A experience. Their parking lots are made quite a bit smaller than what is actually needed due to the popular demand of their food. The drive thru is almost as busy as Best Buy on Black Friday, but instead of waiting forever to place your order, the company sometimes has workers outside with iPads taking orders for people in the back of the line. This is extremely helpful and efficient. It’s also something that’s very unique with this type of business.


When you first waltz through the door, you can expect a well-designed building that is also quite clean compared to many other fast food restaurants. Depending on what location you’re at and what time, the place could either be extremely packed or have just enough people to where you can find a spot to sit down and enjoy. The lines may be quite long but the workers always seem to get through it just fast enough so you aren’t left crabby.
The moment you finally get up to place your order, you’ll be greeted with a big smile. The generosity from the workers is something I think stands out compared to most other places I’ve been. It almost makes you think they actually care about what you want and why you can’t have cheese on your sandwich because it makes you queasy. Suddenly you feel like you’ve entered a new alternative universe where employees at a fast food place are actually nice and care about you. You almost find yourself inviting them to your Thanksgiving and then are suddenly pulled back into reality as you realize the ordering process is being wrapped up and you carry on.
I almost always order the holy grail of fast food, the plain chicken sandwich and their famous waffle fries paired with the golden Chick-Fil-A sauce. Considering the sandwich is only a bun, chicken, and a few pickles, it may sound rather boring and dry. However, although simple this meal is bursting with flavor. The chicken is perfectly fried and juicy, and the few pickles take the flavor to the next level. Every flavor compliments each other so nicely. The famous waffle fries are hands down the best fries I’ve ever had. The gold and crispy fries dipped in their sauce is something I find extremely tasty and is a must-try when eating at Chick-Fil-A.


Waiting for your food is when it seems every minute turns into an eternity. Another thing you think about is how many people are in the place, by then you start calculating just how long you’re actually going to be there. However, Chick-Fil-A seems to have this service down to a tee. The longest I’ve had to wait for my food is around ten minutes, which is nothing compared to the twenty minutes I spent waiting at McDonald's for a single caramel macchiato.


During this time while you’re metaphorically waiting for your food, I’d like to explain a bit more on why I think Chick-Fil-A’s service is one of the best. From my knowledge this is a family owned company who has kept their faith running as a strong background throughout the corporation. Something that makes this place different than others is the generosity shown from the employees. Could it all be an act? Well of course it could, but I’d rather have an act of kindness than a rude and uncomfortable food experience. People’s meal times can be a special time for families or friends to connect and share valuable time together, Chick-Fil-A understands that completely.
After having a short wait, your food gets delivered. You simply get to enjoy your meal, and when done, you get to leave full and happy. I will say I have never had a bad experience with this restaurant. I give it a complete 10 out of 10 rating and recommend Chick-Fil-A for anyone who likes some good chicken, and anyone who wants to have a nice food experience. There’s nothing better than being able to splurge on those calories and actually end up feeling good afterwards.
