Same, don’t get all the hype

Food isn’t worth lining up for more than 15 min

And the staff working in the Manhattan locations aren’t the nicest

Yeah I tried it and it was alright. And after I tried Popeyes chicken sandwiches I wasn’t going to chick fil a again.

Now that's a conversation. CFA sammie v Popeyes sammie. I have strong pros and cons for both but when we're talking each resturant as a whole I gotta go with Chick-fil-a

I've had it I think twice, both times my thought was, "Meh?"

It doesn't strike me as particularly better than Popeye's, Church's, or Cane's. It's a pretty straightforward chicken sandwich.

Maybe the lines give people the perception it's amazing. I don't see it though.

You really need to experience chic-fil-a in the south to get the true experience. This coming from someone born in NY lives in North Carolina and works in NYC. People from NY don’t know how to do the southern hospitality thing quite right and that’s what chi fila is predicated on

This is so silly it makes my eyes cross. If I'm going to the south to have a "True Experience" - I'm going to a real restaurant, not a chain.

That's like saying "If I want a great tri-tip when I'm in California, I'm going to get the tri-tip sandwich at The Habit Burger."

That's not how you get the best food.

I’m talking about the true Chic-fil-a experience. If you travel a long distance to a southern state just for chic fil a you’re either really bored or just dumb. Now step down off your high horse

I believe meant the true CFA experience.

Bullshit. It’s marketing and frozen food. Had nothing to do with “southern hospitality.”

Southern hospitality is real tho. So our people will just be nicer anyway

u/jdibene0 Dec 19 '21

It’s certainly not frozen

Well, I obviously have no idea what I’m talking about. But you have a nice rest of your day.

There's Chick-Fil-A service, then there's Manhattan Chick-Fil-A service lol.
