Chick-fil-A

Is it weird that I made a special request that we visit Chick-​Fil-​A when my husband and I traveled to Sarasota? I don’t know. He seems to think that my excitement was a bit over the top. I can’t help it – I love Chick-​Fil-​A. It’s strange, because I’m definitely not a fast food person, but I’m pretty sure it’s the waffle fries that put this spell on me.
You will have to bear in mind that I have only visited Chick-​Fil-​A a couple of times before… Once or twice in Atlanta and once in Seattle. Who knew that there are a couple locations not too far from me in Miami? I surely didn’t until I decided to Google it before writing this review! Anyway, this Chick-​Fil-​A location is on Tamiami Trail, which seems to be a pretty main thoroughfare in Sarasota. It was super conveniently located to our hotel and most points of interest on our little vacation.
This Chick-​Fil-​A is so cute inside. It doesn’t look like a typical fast food restaurant. The service is fast, as fast food should be, but the employees are all either paid quite well or perhaps given copious amounts of happy-​making drugs. Probably not the latter, considering the beliefs I know are behind Chick-Fil-A’s… But they’re just so nice and friendly! Coming from Miami, I’m not used to so many smiles and «how is everything“s.
My husband and I both got the spicy chicken sandwich, which has a lovely little kick to it. He made his deluxe, which just means it comes with toppings. OF COURSE we got waffle fries, since that was the whole point of coming, and they were so deliciously crispy. My husband always makes fun of the intense amounts of ketchup that I use on my french fries, and I loved that they had those new ketchup pods that are perfect for dipping big ol’ waffle fries! Overall, it was exactly what I had remembered from my couple of previous experiences. Yum!
