The chicken breakfast burritos are Mr. Kipper's favorite. I'm a fan of the Chicken Minis.

I totally forgot about the waffle Fries which are oh so good!

Interesting financial stats about CFA... I guess like In and Out they stay relatively "small" and focus on quality (food and customer service) vs quantity (Mcdonalds, Starbucks.)

I tend to ignore messages anyway. The only message I look for at CFA is "the 2009 Cow Calendars are in!" And they have coupons!

I saw my first Chick-Fill-A billboard the other day on the way home from Philly


The one with the two 3D cows painting "EAT MOR CHIKIN"

I thought it was hilarious!

I'm not sure why there's so much hatred for the Cathy family.

I am a very non-religious person, but find nothing offensive in how they operate. As a customer, I see nothing explicitly Christian about their business. I have yet to receive a Bible or other explicit Christian literature with my son's kiddie meal at CFA. (The fact that just about all the prizes are educational is a plus in my book.) The employees don't invite me to come to Jesus. There are no posters advertising local churches.

In contrast, I've been in Middle Eastern stores and restaurants with posters for the local mosque, and Indian restaurants plugging upcoming Hindu festivals. I've been asked if I'm a M.O.T. at a local Jewish deli. These places are much more upfront about their owners' religious beliefs. So what? That's never stopped me from enjoying my meals there. You like the food, eat it. You don't, don't.

I respect the Cathys for following their beliefs and keeping their restaurants closed on Sundays, in spite of many millions of lost revenue each year. One of the reasons they can attract higher-quality employees and (especially) managers is because they can guarantee them not just one day off, but the same one each week. That's a rarity in the restaurant biz.

Bringing it back on topic - My personal favorite item is the Southwest Chicken Salad. Good stuff and very low-calorie.

I love CFA - unfortunately the nearest one is about 800 miles away...

I do have locations memorized for every city I regularly travel to and visit at least once a day to get my 'fix'. When I do travel to a new city, searching for and printing a map to the nearest location(s) comes just after getting directions from the airport to the office/hotel.

Extra points when there is one between the hotel and the office.

I have been pleasantly surprised every time we have 'dined' at a CFA! The efficiency of the employees is impressive! Long lines...no problem! In a more than reasonable amount of time, your order is ready. They know how to run a fast food business!!:-:

I love their chicken nuggets. And their cole slaw is consistently good, unlike other places that have the item. They've never screwed up an order, in the hundreds of times I've eaten there.

I do hate not being able to get it on Sundays, but I can totally understand their philosophy on that issue, and it works for them in the quality of their products and services.

After skimming a handful of diatribes by that unusually noxious tribe of "Aginners" so oft in evidence on FT, I feel obligated to eat about 30 straight meals at Chik Fil-A, no matter how salty.

I could appreciate my old Dad's refusal to purchase or consume any known Japanese products up until his death in the 90s. After all, he had spent more than two bad years in close contact with them and the results of their passing through in China, 1942-1945, but to refuse to patronize Chil Fil-A because of the Faith or Evangelical fervor of it's founder/principal owner is about as silly as swearing off chopped chicken liver and Nova lox for life. I'm going to pour out my last carton of hummus and never buy another, hoping to avoid hummus-subsidized jihadists.

My goodness, I'm sure not going crosstown for greens and hot water cornbread. Those folks are likely to be Democrats, certainly damned to perdition and higher taxes!

I don't find much to compliment about the food, mostly beyond bland, but in organization, customer service, and the visible manifestations of the Land of Fast Foods, the chain is a paragon of virtue.

(A) Chicken w/o salt is like unto eggs w/o pepper, borderline inedible.

(B) Pepsi Cola is a soapy liquid of indeterminate ingredients and no characteristic flavor beyond sweet. Coca Cola, at about 33F, undiluted by ice, even made with corn syrup, preserves and maintains that sharp "Bite" with which it swept the South, the nation's cultural Heartland and Belt of Sophistication. Dr. Pepper, on the other hand, may be drunk only at 10, 2 and 4 (and not hot, as once advertised), between April and November in America's Sweat Zone in communities of less than 10,000, preferably with a few peanuts stuffed down the bottle's neck. R-R'C may only be consumed while seated on a wooden bench in front of an old filling station while (a) surrounded by ancient whiskered idlers or (b) pitching pennies. It goes down good with a Moon Pie.

There is NOTHING better for breakfast than a CFA chicken biscuit, except maybe my granny's biscuits with sausage gravy. I could eat a chicken biscuit every day of my life. Of course, my life would be considerably shortened from consuming that delicious grease-fest daily, but it might be worth it.

Their cole slaw is number one in my book too and I love their diet lemonade.

Only down side is that it definitely is more expensive than other fast food, not to mention that sometimes a girl needs beef .

It's either the chicken or the bun that have a wierd taste to me that just makes me not like their food. But the Lemonaid and fries are good

Same here. Good stuff.

Not super--even for fast food.

Chick-fil-A's good stuff. Well for fast food anyway....

Never saw the appeal.
