I'll often drive the 30 minutes to one and will order breakfast for the family--Mr. Kipper, the dogs, and me. If I go inside, they always ask, "Is this for here?" Really? I'm ordering 2 burritos, 4 orders of hash browns (2 for the dogs), chicken minis, and 2 coffees. You think I'm going to down all of that in one sitting??? :D

Do you think they will ever back down to their strong beliefs and open on Sunday.

I think that unless they REALLY start struggling with the business and have absolutely no other choice is only time they would "consider" working on Sunday. A lot of people really respect CFA for their values and that would kind of ruin it.

Also, every chick CFA I've ever been to for lunch and dinner been very crowded. So it's safe to say that most CFA locations would be struggling financially anytime soon.

Highly doubtful. Only Chuck Norris can Chick-Fil-A on Sundays.

They are also very restrictive with franchise rights as well.

I was in ATL on a Sunday and I was curious if they were open. It was in another terminal and I didn't have time to check.

Nope.

I like the non food items at CFA. Besides the CFA nuggets and chicken strips, the other menu items are far too salty for my palate.

I have never eaten at a Chick fil a, and I'm not impressed with the menu. It looks like a KFC knock off to me. :( What's the draw?

It's of a far better quality than KFC. No bones in the chicken. It's a completely different taste than KFC or other "fried chicken chains."

They are not targeted against KFC. They do great chicken sandwiches. Think McDonald's Southern Chicken Sandwich but much better. They don't do traditional on the bone fried chicken.

Chick fil a is much, much better than KFC. Do not let KFC discourage you from trying it.

There is a local chain of Tex-Mex restaurants in San Antonio that is closed on Sunday as well. Las Palapas is the name IIRC. Pretty decent food.

If thats the case then Cfa needs to take better pictures on their website because most of it didnt look very good.

McDonald's Southern Chicken Sandwich was an attempt to copy the CFA chicken sandwich because it is so popular.

The part that freaked me out when I tried the McD's version (the breakfast chicken biscuit) was that it tasted like dill, even though there were no pickles. So not only do they use artificial pickle flavor instead of real pickles, but they're also too cheap to make a non-pickle version for breakfast. Wow.
