Near their point of origin, they are legitimately good. And @captmorgandrinker, yes, obviously Zaxby's is superior, but they are slower service and at a somewhat different price point. Granted they're a lot quicker than they used to be in the 90's ALMOST to the point of being in the "quick service" segment proper. But Chick Fil A can clear 100 cars through their drive thru in the time it takes Zaxby's to serve 10 :P, and sometimes you just want to eat NOW.

Yeah, Chik Fil A has the drive thru experience down pat. Personally, I'll gladly wait if it means they're cooking it properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly, I've never had it that far north, but it seems like it should be hard to fuck up a pressure-cooked-in-peanut-oil pre-breaded chicken breast filet. And while Zaxby's has better lunch/supper, I haven't encountered a fast-food breakfast that comes anywhere close to the spicy chicken biscuits at Chik Fil A.

captmorgandrinker | 1,651 Administrator · Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 No, our Chik Fil A tastes amazing up here.

And over the last 10 or 15 years, Zaxby's has massively improved their order-flow around meal times. Way back, everything was fully to-order. Now they at least have some kind of model/prediction for staying closer to the curve of what they need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kguillemette | 1,561 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Chick-fil-a is highly underrated. Spicy chicken deluxe is easily the best fast food sandwich I have ever had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estil | 1,267 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 (edited) I don't know how this got turned into a chicken thing, and I hope nobody cries fowl when I give my take on this But I reaaaaaaaallllllly wish my local Kentucky Fried Chicken was closer to me (I don't have a vehicle to get there and it's too expensive to get but once in a very great while; it's been at least a few months since I had any...) And being a proud native Kentuckian I always say Kentucky Fried Chicken, not that "KFC" crap you outsiders use OMG, their original recipe chicken is better than s...e...x...

Strange | 1,706 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I like how it tastes, but CFA is grossly overrated here in the south because their company spouts the same politics most of our rural citizens agree with. The lines here are ridiculous (and not worth the wait tbh) but they weren’t always like that. CFA didn’t become popular in the south until the controversy with their anti-LGBT statements. The narrative was spun to be “the evil left is saying bad things about God’s chicken house, save them!” and the lines have been horrendous ever since. Suddenly everyone became a CFA mega-fan down here. Like I said above: before that happened, the chain wasn’t anywhere near as popular or heavily frequented. I say that as someone who genuinely likes their food. It’s just became a cultural thing down here to always support Chick-fil-a. I’ve done a lot of trips for work across the country and nowhere else is it that popular. I ask the locals and the consensus is usually “It’s alright, not the best. Is it really that popular is the south? Wow.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estil | 1,267 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 When I last went there, sure it was tasty and I like how they have distinctive waffle fries but I thought their portions were tiny (in these teeny little boxes) All the more reason I've so very seldom ate out because for example, I don't like how my usual combo meal at McDonalds (which I happen to live almost next door to!) is $8.68 (double quarter pounder combo) and then to add insult to injury they do that pinching the bottom of the fry box crap! I miss the good ol' days of the Super Size 90s when McD's really gave you your money's worth...and sometimes they even did cups with Looney Tunes and/or athletes on them!

Gloves | 11,892 Administrator · Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 We got a Chic fil a here in Toronto like a year or so ago just before I quit my job that was down the road from it. I thiiiiink it was the 1st in Canada? AND it was just after the awkward statement thing (I only heard about it when I got home and excitedly told my wife about the new chicken place by work). Never been myself, but mostly because the lines have been consistently, for months, out the store and down the road. So weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link | 2,768 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I used to live a few doors down from a Church’s and for a while, I would get something from there every Friday after work. Then they started selling some shrimp thing, and the air around the place just reeked. I’m glad I don’t live there any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would require a time machine to get Kentucky Fried Chicken that came anywhere close to how good it was in the 80's or earlier. I haven't bought KFC in the last 15 years and had anything but regret afterwords. Edited July 17, 2020 by arch_8ngel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That just isn't true At least in GA, CFA had a huge following for decades before there was a whiff of controversy around them. The controversy did all happen around a huge expansion of theirs, though. (around the same time that Zaxby's really started expanding outside of GA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A drive thru is a window on the side of a building where business transactions can be conducted without having to leave your car. Very convenient, especially in cold or otherwise unpleasant weather. I'm surprised cold ass Canada doesn't have any! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
