Chick-Fil-A locations
Here in SoCal, I know they have one in the Del Amo Mall in Torrance, one in the South Bay galleria, and one in Cerritos Mall, all in their food courts if I remember correctly.
I don't recall where the freestanding ones are, but I think there's a few scattered around in the Inland Empire and behind the Orange Curtain.
I remembered going by the restaurant and snacking on the free samples as a kid. Yum. I've had better service in the freestanding units compared to the "inside the mall" locations. Must be the lack of sunshine?

Youre right. I got carried away because I hated them so much. I guess they really arent fast food.

Go to the Internet web site of Chick-fil-A for more information.

I think its a pretty refreshing way of doing business, although I personally wish they were open on Sunday just so I could eat there more often.
And speaking of Chick-fil-A, I have to say that their lemonade is very tasty!

Chick-fil-A sandwich plain (add light mayo afterwards, maybe some polynesian sauce), and a chicken salad sandwich ^
Oh... and I LOVE Cracker Barrel (at least for breakfast)

I do not think that Cracker Barrel is a fast food chain but yes there are plenty of them... which makes it a chain restaurant. And the one time I was forced to go there it was terrible... the atmosphere was crowded, loud, and all I could smell was fried food. And ironically all I wanted was fried chicken since I figured that was probably the best type of food there and it was not on the menu! I was very surprised but definately very disappointed with the restaurant.

Thats easy................... ALL OF THEM
I haven't ate at one in the past 20+ years, and I have been so much healthier.
Here's are a fact about McDonalds: it's healthier to eat a BigMac then a salad with everything on it!

I so agree. Call it what it is and don't put inedible parsley on the plate in an attempt to make it "haute." I have much contempt for the likes of Olive Garden and Chilis.

Absolute Worst: Jack in the Crack
Bad: K F C what's barfin'
also bad: Pizza Hut (used to be good, but I think now they are using what remains of Pizza the Hut)
Sbarro and Dominoes attempt to make horrible pizza like Pizza Hut, but every now and then they mess up and produce something edible
Wendy's, Burger King (and Waffle House if you want to count that, sort of a cross between fine dining and fast food) are hit-and-miss; delicious if they make it right, awful if they don't
I think McDonald's is pretty good. I swore them off several years ago after some poor service and bad food, but I caved on the road one time, and since then I haven't run into any bad McDonald's.
I like Arby's but I've only eaten roast beef sandwiches and curly fries.
The best is In 'N Out, and Hardees. Why do people knock Hardees? It tastes like a real burger and not the fast food smashed-down version "McMeat" type.
I agree with the comment on Church's Chicken. The only time I ate there was because I was in some nasty neighborhood in Queens in the middle of the night and it was either eat there or go hungry. I should have gone hungry.

I don't get all the 'buzz' about In-n-Out. Personally, I think they're highly over-rated. I guess I don't detest them, but I'd go miles out of my way to go somewhere else.
What I really detest is Krispy Kreme. Unlike Tim Horton's where you can easily eat half and then walk away I think KK does something to the doughnuts so that you can't eat just one bite (or even just one doughnut, for that matter). I think they're evil
