People come to Chick-fil-A's defense because SJWs attack them just because the owner is a Christian.Because of that they somehow think Chick-fil-A should be run out of business, putting thousands (tens of thousands?) of decent, hardworking people out of a job.

Of course.  Anything that stresses the economic or social system is good for SJWs.  Who seem to be mostly communists socialists liberals.  (Liberals in the modern sense. :) )

Pretty much it is "OK" as you say, which is part of the point. People go there for the same reason they go to other fast food chains: Standard food so they don't have to experiment in some locale they are just passing through, for example. It's generally better than McDonald's with the added bonus of spotless restaurants with, as has been said, extremely nice and polite employees who go way out of their way for customer service.

I don't think anyone is claiming that they're fives stars. It's that they are a decent, clean, and friendly place to eat. I have never been proselytized to in a Cick-fil-A, never seen any "God references" or anything else religious. Unless you count that their customer service seems to be based on "Do unto others" and other polite stuff out of the bible, that happens to be part of other religions and philosophies as well.

Yup. I go for the tribalism. And ya gotta eat somewhere.

Another thing I've heard about them is they pay a little better than other joints.

I may be the odd man out here but while Chik-fil-a is "OK" I just don't see what all the fuss is about.

Like Arby's, it's all about the sauce.  Unlike Arby's, however, they don't let you pump out half a gallon for yourself, instead making you beg at the counter for tiny little tubs of the stuff.

Chick fil a is okay food.  Good tasting for fast food.  I like being able to get actual chicken (not a formed patty) breast.
Chick fil a thrives on having good customer service, a product line that is different than their competition, and modern and clean restaurants.

I was going to say that to him as well. (Minus the Arby's part.)

You have to use the Chick-fil-A sauce or the Polynesian sauce on the sandwiches.

Incidentally, ask for extra pickles, too. The sandwich is even better covered in pickles.

And if you think it's just "Ok", you haven't had their Peach Shake.


It's hands down the best fast food you can get. Once you get into short order, its better than most of those as well, but they have no competition in the "fast food" category.

Of course that may be what you mean by "Ok".
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

It is what it is.
Fast food is trash. 
We just think it tastes good because it's laden with salt, sugar, and fat.
Work down from OK and that's the competition that Chick Fil A has.

It is nice when you have a fast food place that has someone going around cleaning tables and keeping things fairly clean.  Most Burger King and McDonalds have minimal staff and that sort of thing is a spare time activity.  Of course, that applies to any place selling food.

My "OK" was in relation to all food out there. Great food is generally food I make myself. If you're looking at just the fast food genre, I'll give Chick-fil-A a "great", though I probably like In n Out a bit better (for my tastes, YMMV). But if it's Chick-fil-A compared to the major fast food chains, sure, I'll generally head for the Chick-fil-A instead, based on all the reasons outlined above.

OK, this article is a little weird.

But I love how he calls Chick-fil-a "God's chicken stand."  :laugh:

Another point in their favor:

Their restaurants continue to be "kid-friendly" while all the other ones seem to be moving away from that. (Looking at you, McDonald's.)

As I don't really care for McDonald's, I'm especially happy my children will prefer Chick-fil-A to any other fast food place.

Their grilled club is a damn good sammich.

They should send 7 sandwiches for 7 days to the New Yorker with a note attached they reads the following

“Believe in the chicken or go to burgers.”

I never noticed them before, but there are two near me on Sheridan and another on West Colfax.  I reckon I'll give them a try, although I'm not partial to chicken breasts.

None in Golden, but the West Colfax one is close.

This.  They have the best Chicken Sandwich* of any chain (and most one-off's, in fact I can't think of place with a better chicken [breast] sandwich), same with their version of Nuggets   The Waffle Fries dipped in Chick-fil-A sauce are awesome.   The restaurants are exceptionally clean.  The staff is beyond friendly, courteous, and helpful.  Like scary helpful.   The Jesus Chicken near me is always packed and there's always a line in the drive-through, yet, there's never a very long wait once your order is in. (and the lines move fairly quickly to get your order in).  They take good care of their employees.  (Above average wages and benefits, plus every Sunday off.)  If the food was crap, people wouldn't go there, no matter if it was a "Christian" place or not.  

230RN, I'd be interested to read your review of Chick-fil-A.




* - I agree with extra pickles, but I put mayo and not the Chick-fil-A sauce on mine.
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Would The New Yorker be happier if the Cows were pushing rat extermination?

I'm surprised De Blasio wants to be seen honcho-ing a rat-killing operation. Then again, I guess rats are the big enemy in NYC. What do I know? I live in primitive fly-over country, where we don't have a rat problem.

What is also funny to me, is even when Jesus Chicken (I'm gonna start using that  :laugh: ) is in a liberal place, it's freakin' packed. They put one in commie pinko Santa Barbara just before I moved. The local commie rag opinion pages (as well as what passed for "news" articles) were packed with Jesus Chicken hate and "not in our town!"

Yet, from the day it opened, and to this day when I pass through town there, the place is always packed to the point of vehicles flowing into the main drag.

Be sure to ask at the counter for them, next time.

If you want more than two, you'll be ushered into a confessional in the back.  Only after convincing them that you are Truly Worthy can you receive extra sauces.

I have one gripe with them, they do the name for an order thing even though they find your table by color coded bucket. I usually give my kid's name, although Achmed does rattle the clientele and staff. My dad prefers biblical names. Just a time waster to type in names.

Beyond that, yes fast food can be trash. And sometimes that's what we can afford in money or time. And it is possible to stay healthy eating any of them, CFA just makes it easier. It is the only fast food joint left where I get a full meal because waffle fries. The others I have a $5 limit, no fries, no soda. CFA is the only fast food salad edible, the rest use a ton of preservatives and I know because of immediate consequences, the same uncertain feeling I get from Subway veggies. So I usually half a salad, waffle fries and a tea/lemonade, or just unsweet tea.

The drive thru is the best, hit a busy one at lunch and there will be employees with tablets taking orders back in the line. More evidence of what I figure is better managers and better training.
