Chick-fil-A

Wonderful service from Desiree, who works drive-​thru, she’s been very hospitable and personable both times I’ve been this week but today she went beyond the call of duty. Thank you again for making my day.

‘Fast-​foods’ should mean that the eater fasts (don’t eat at that restaurant at all).

Chick-​fil-​A fries the bird to a hard brick-​like CRISP which probably appeals to the obese diner who just wants another taste of grease, salt, MSG and GMO.
I ate this crappy food 10 years ago in SC and that bad-​boy is still making my urine yellow and my stomach queasy!!!

This Chick-​fil-​A has great, quick service. The employees are always friendly and polite. Chick-​fil-​A is my favorite fast food restaurant and this one is a great representation of the restaurant and the brand. The food is always fresh and delicious! Way to go CFA in Peachtree Center!

You would think that for as busy as they are, they wouldn’t serve soggy food, but it happens. This place is about 60/​40, good food 60% of the time, bad 40%. They are nice people working the registery but I always find myself waiting a long time for food, even when the place is empty and I can see my sando waiting, tempting me, under the warmer. The two stars are cause Chick-​fil-​A makes a tasty chicken sandwich. I’ll just stick to the one off Northridge.

Same great food but, the staff was exceptionally friendly. Not use to this kind of service!!!

Very, very, very, very friendly staff. I continue to be impressed.
The people who work here always go out of there way to be as accommodating as possible, which is rarely the case at fast food joints. I am always greeted as soon as I walk up to the register area immediately, and the people who work here clearly care very much about customers. I mean, they always use my name when I order, they thank me for coming, I’m into it.
The food? Honestly it’s a little overrated. Gimme In-​N-​Out over Chick-​Fil-​A in a heartbeat. (Queue the haters). But it’s solid, cheap, and hits the spot.
But to anyone who works here — keep doing what you’re doing. I’m always going to have those occasional cravings for some quick-​and-​dirty fried chicken and waffle fries, and when I do, this will continue to be the play.

This is based on CUSTOMER SERVICE:
The people who work here are always so nice. I am always greeted when I walk up close to someone who works there. They always use my name when I order, and they thank me for coming.
I do not go here a lot, but when I do, I feel like I am VIP.

I was in ATL on business for three weeks and was very excited to try this place (we don’t have them in Hawaii). The spicy chicken sandwich combo is definitely the way to go. I got every sauce they offered and tried them all.
Chick-​Fil-​A, time to expand your footprint! why don’t you come on over to paradise so i can enjoy your delicious food all the time. much appreciated.

Why all the low stars? This is a ChickfilA that is mainly catering to the businesspeople/​offices it’s surrounded by. Of course it sucks that the hours are shorter, but it’s sort of to be expected, right?
As a Midtown dweller I’m just happy to have the best fast-​food option anyone could ask for (meaning having a ChickfilA opposed to one of the other chains.) And this is the only «fast-​food» type place in the area that’s walkable (for me)… the only other option would be walking to the Subway off Piedmont or Peachtree, besides those two we’re just surrounded with restaurants– which makes total sense b/​c of the area –and– the amazingly massive amounts of restaurant options
I’m a southern girl, so I was raised with ChickfilA, had it most mornings in high school. So I love that I’m able to walk there and get a chicken biscuit. Okay, I’ll admit… longer hours would be nice, but its probably hard for them to compete with all the restaurants, lounges, and bars in the area people prefer to go to in the evenings and at night, especially on weekends. Not to mention the food trucks that are always around.
My only beef (haha) is that I always seem to crave ChickfilA’s on Sunday. ALWAYS, but of course it’s closed (which I admire/​respect).
Very friendly staff :) Which is typical for ChickfilA’s — gotta love that.
PS– If you’re visiting Atlanta and this is your first ChickfilA, if you want a bit more of the typical experience I would suggest to going to one of their stand-​alone/​detached locations– there’s plenty nearby: Howell Mill, Peachtree, and Piedmont would be the closest.
UPDATE: I took off a star because the hours do suck pretty bad. I went on a Saturday morning to get breakfast, but they weren’t open. The hours said 10:55 or something randomly specific like that just so they don’t have to serve breakfast… made me very upset actually… Me and 3 other people who all just so happened to want chickfila a the same time… we all just went to starbucks next door.

do not park on the driveway! they will boot you!

I grew up in the South, so I’ve been a fan of Chick-​Fil-​A since I was a kid. Perhaps that’s why when I get a craving for fast food, my first thought (unless it’s Sunday) is to walk up to the Colony Square Chick-​Fil-​A for a decadent lunch break.
The joint is usually packed during the lunch rush, but the friendly and efficient staff move the lines along quickly. I like to get my order to go, and grab a seat in the bustling Colony Square atrium, where the people-​watching is a pastime in and of itself. If it happens to be a nice day, I might venture outdoors and dine alfresco. What I rarely do is eat inside the actual restaurant. It can be a tad claustrophobic for my liking.
I know Chick-​Fil-​A has expanded its food selection over the years to include salads, grilled chicken sandwiches, and other «healthier» menu items. But if I’m making the trek to Colony Square, there’s only one thing I’m ordering: an original Chick-​Fil-​A chicken sandwich meal with a fresh-​squeezed lemonade. Thank you, Truett Cathy!

You’re only open til 3pm on Saturdays?
What’s wrong with you?

I had to visit this fast food place, for years I’ve heard so much about it from up north! The food is good not great! The Chicken Soup is excellent and really helped me when I was sick! I don’t get the closed on Sunday thing, maybe someone can help me understand this? Is this a southern Thang?

*Disclaimer*: This review pertains to Chick-​fil-​a as a franchise rather than this specific location, but since I’ve been here the most, this location is the lucky recipient of my ramblings. Also, I’m a hater of fast food and all things fried, so take that into consideration before reading anything below!
I just don’t get the Chick-​fil-​a thing. People here have a love for it that borders on obsession, and I just think it’s kind of… ick.
Ick-​fil-​a. Granted, their «lightly breaded» (aka fried) chicken sandwiches that they «invented» are much better than similar sandwiches elsewhere, I just think the healthier options for those of us in need of a quick bite without the potential for a minor heart attack need a few healthy options on the menu that are at least semi-​satisfying. The grilled chicken strips on the salads resemble the stuff you’d find in the vacuum-​packed pouches of pre-​seasoned chicken strips in Kroger’s refrigerated section. The grilled chicken breast on the sandwich is also weak. The BBQ and the honey mustard dipping sauces are just not good. Ick, ick, ick.
The 1,000 calories milkshakes also frighten me, and I worry about the health of my loved ones that drink them fairly often. The chicken biscuits, though I’m sure they’re tasty since my brother ate one every morning on his way to high school, do not seem like such a great way to start the day off. Ick.
The one recent memory I have of Chick-​fil-​a that prompted me to write this pointless review of an extremely popular, much loved chain involved some nugget trays I had catered for a middle school afterschool event. I was designated the official server, and I slapped on some plastic gloves and started heaping the nuggets on the trays of the very eager, hungry students. Anyways, I went through FIVE pairs of gloves for just two nugget trays because the grease seeped through them and began dripping down past my wrists. When everything was done, I washed my hands with a buttload of soap and still couldn’t get the shiny, oily feeling off my hands. ICK!
The 2 stars are definitely for the reliable catering and delivery services I’ve utilized at least 10 times for work (my boss is the biggest Chick-​fil-​a fan I know), and they’re also for the incredible Diet Lemonade and fruits cups available in assorted sizes (with a good selection of fruit in them, too). Their marketing strategies and the Chick-​fil-​a cows are definitely damn cool. I mean, everyone I know loves this place, so I know there’s something to it (my middle school students seriously ate every crumb off the trays). Old college friends of mine that visit from the north always want to try it, and I just sigh.
I just want some more tasty, lower-​calorie, healthy options, Chick-​fil-​a… I know I’m crazy and shouldn’t even consider fast food given my disgust of fried food, but I just want to be part of the popular crowd, dammit!

I used to think that 2 stars was the highest I was willing to go with a fast food joint until I came to the South and had myself a grilled Chick-​fil-​a sandwich!
That grilled chicken with the fixings (don’t know what you call it), comes on freaking wheat bread!
Wha’d I say? Did I frakin say «wheat bread»? Yeah! Yeah I did!
Fast food with no option to fat up? Grilled chicken breast, wheat bread! Are you insane? I can’t choose MSG bread? Or Monopollysaturatedfart bread? Great! Thank you for caring! I appreciate the effort!
OK… OK… I did have a moment of wavering… I did try the deep fried options before leaving this review… but the good news people… the grilled options… that’s right… the healthier options, are better tasting!
Good tasting food that isn’t poison!
You’d think that this would be a more popular idea?

I had a not-​terrible bacon egg and cheese biscuit here for breakfast.
My companion ordered 3 mini chicken biscuits, which I imagine were very tasty, but I really don’t want that for breakfast. Ever.
I like that they offer a fruit cup in place of hash browns if you are feeling particularly disgusting and need some healthiness in your life.
Because as long as you eat a tiny cup of old fruit, it offsets the bacon, cheese and buttery biscuit. Right? RIGHT?

I’ve never been crazy about the Chick-​Fil-​A. The nuggets are typically overcooked and a bit on the dry side, and the waffle fries are always overcooked and always on the dry side.
Chick-​Fil-​A makes me want to eat the cows they advertise. Cluck Cluck.

I know it’s a chain, but this was my first Chick-​Fil-​A experience, and probably my last one for a long while (there aren’t many in California!). So, I’ve heard tons about Chick-​Fil-​A, and all of the hype is well worth it. The chicken is deliciously juicy and fried, and the original chicken sandwich that I had was simple. I got it no pickles (I didn’t get that advice, I just saw them on the menu picture… and I hate pickles — I would definitely advise no pickles), so the sandwich was a bit dry since I didn’t add any mayo (got to watch the calories somewhere). What I didn’t realize was that there are apparently all of these special sauces that you can get on your chicken sandwich. Now if someone had only told me… I got the meal which included waffle fries which I thought were good, but the chicken sandwich definitely outshined the fries.
This particular location is tucked into a corner of Colony Square, and it was very clean and nice (unlike a lot of other chain restaurants). I was also impressed with the speed of the cashier and other workers, especially since my sandwich was piping hot when I got it.

probably not organic farm rasied and all that, but it’s still a good deal.
When I came here for work all my coworkers were really looking forward to eating here. Yeah, I’ve lived in Texas before so I knew what it was but had never tried. And here were these people who I knew weren’t crazy going on about this place. So I had to go.
I haven’t had chicken nuggets since the last time I craved them 3 years ago and was completely grossed out at McD’s. I couldn’t even finish them and swore off fast food for good. But then came Chick-​fil-​a.
Chick-​fil-​a is a great alternative fast food place. Make no mistakes about it, it’s definitely fast food. But if you like your chicken nuggets or chicken strips made out of whole chunks of chicken breast instead of the reconstituted stuff at McD’s, then this is your place.

The best chicken sandwich ever, the original chicken sandwich! The only shame here is they are closed on Sundays.
Now that I am back in the west this is single greatest thing I miss about the south.
