    I mean, if you don’t mind/know about the bigotry, it’s pretty fuckin good chicken. And their waffle fries are good too. Haven’t eaten there in years and I do miss the food. But it’s still a hard no for me.

      But is it “wait a fucking half hour or more in a god damned drive through” good? Fuck no it isn’t.

        They usually have double lanes and are taking orders throughout the line as shown above, the lines always long but seldom slow.

        That said fuck bigot-chicken

          I’ve only been to CFA a few times, but even with lines wrapped around the building I don’t think I’ve ever waited longer than 10 minutes. Burger King is regularly that long of a wait and I was actually stuck waiting 20 minutes at McDonald’s last week (they asked me to pull up and pretty sure they forgot about me.) I try to plan ahead and not rely so much on fast food, but as much time as I spend in my car driving for work, I’m usually stopping somewhere 1-2x a week.

        I’ve never waited more than 16ish min for food, and that is an extremely long wait for them. It is always super fast, so idk where you are pulling this 1 hour long wait time stuff from unless you are talking about their opening weekends for new ones.

      Is the chicken even that good?, no way they don’t come from a CAFO. Stressed out chicken meat taste like water to me.

        Idk what the hell everyone else is talking about. Their chicken has always been great. When i get chicken from other fast food places its always hit or miss, and even on their best day, it’s as good as chick fil a on one of their average days. Hell, I’ve never had a dry or overcooked or small portion of chicken from them, and they always pay their workers well.

      It’s isn’t good chicken though. It’s not 2003. Every fast food place has better chicken now.

      I found the food greasy and unsettling, but I live in a large city full of better options. I guess I can get why people in a small town may miss it.
