Chick-fil-A

[MrSquished]

Spicy Sandwich minus pickle plus Colby Jack cheese = win.

Hold the pickle indeed. I discovered long ago that pickles on sandwiches were a waste and should be optional!

thanks ill try to remember this.

You're welcome. Once your figure out which ones (or combinations) you like best, you won't forget to ask for 'em.

Just saying Shake Shack burger gave me a craving for there amazing double shackburger. It's that good. The blend of beef they chose is just so beefy. When I had a food truck we experimented with various blends of beef with chuck, brisket and sirloin. IT was really delicious but not shake shack level. But it was a fresh custom blend from a local butcher,, so it was top quality. Their chicken shack sandwich is also commendable. Shake shack for life!

Don't do it. Unless you live in a very high populated area like Manhattan. Or like in San Diego with their perfect weather almost year round. Once the weather gets bad it's all over for you. Nobody comes out. They just disappear. We had a 5 star average on Yelp with 25 reviews. People liked us a lot. But once the weather sucked, they disappeared.. Work in Manhattan and the density of population with help you power through the cold and rainy days. It's a logistical nightmare. You don't have a permanent brick and mortar location so you can't get deliveries. So you gotta spend a whole munch of time shopping for your shit. That's a cost. Time is money. Maybe we did something wrong, it wasn't the food, it had consistent high ratings. It's possible we just weren't smart enough.

Did you just sell burgers? I can only speak from my own experience but whenever I go to a food truck park, I'll try other cuisines over a burger (even if it's super delish).

Also, I hate coleslaw, but when did they stop serving it there?! Anyone know?

I wonder if there was a recall, or an area shortage or something. I cannot imagine a southern-style chicken shop without coleslaw. While anathema for me, it is something divine for much of the South. One of many reasons I find them to be a weird people.

As someone said last year. They replaced it with "super food side", which is a broccoli and kale combination with raisins and nuts. It's ok, I get it sometimes to reduce the calories.


On the sauce subject. The CFA sauce and the honey roasted BBQ sauce pair very well with the fries. This is all I really use the sauces for apart from the grilled sandwich (comes with the honey roasted sauce).

I also like their wraps (some places don't sell enough and they can get a bit soggy after awhile), but sadly they ditched the spicy dressing. The new avocado lime ranch isn't bad though.

You have to ask for the sauces when you order.

Huh, they always ask me if I want any sauces with my sandwich. Without fail.

Nope, he had a falafel truck.

Yes, god forbid someone were to ever disagree with our political opinions.

Hey, make sure you NEVER fill up your car at ANY gas station.

god forbid you care about why someone chooses or chooses not to support a business because of their politics. The gun nutters sure got angry at chipotle for not letting them carry their guns around--of course the same people showed up in droves to support Chik Fil-A when they learned that Chik Fil-A execs spend shittons of money on gay re-education camps and support Ugandan groups that simply execute gays. Yay Priorities!

Anyway, these things disgust me about Chik Fil-A, but the sandwich is fucking delicious, so I still eat there from time to time. If someone wants to boycott them, awesome. If they happen to go out of business (they won't), then fine. I give two shits. ....maybe 3 shits.

 

[FeuerFrei]

I should probably pay Chick-Fil-A a visit. I like companies that can handle their business.
I remember the Polynesian sauce was super fine.

Kind of sucks for restaurants that I figured out how to make delicious chicken nuggets at home.

 

[Homerboy]

Chicken sandwich with a side of homophobia.

Oh no. Burgers were just a special. We were gourmet made from scratch mediterranean food. Falafel was our signature dish. We also made handcut Belgian frites with various aiolis. Lamb kefta kebab with a very secret ingredient in there, lemon coriander chicken souvlaki, Mediterranean pulled pork and then 6 vegan side dishes.

Our pod fries were fries tossed in with a parsley and lemon zest combo with crumbled feta on top. Our specials were a big draw being very inventive. There we played with other cuisines. We did everything to a pork kefta BLT to a Thanksgiving in a Pita to a Mediterranean Banh Mi and shitload more.

Everything was from scratch. Very labor intensive work and we had a premium Robo Coupe to help us out.

Food varies wildly at the two Chick Fil A's I've been to. Ate there for the first time near State College - it was quite tasty. Loved the waffle fries and fresh sandwich toppings. One opened up near us back home and the waffle fries were soggy and they did not have the same menu items that the first one had. It seems like many of the menu options are not listed unless you know what to ask for ? I'm dumping it into my short list of eateries I don't wish to visit.

They ask for certain items. If you order nuggets, for example.

Get your facts straight.

 

[ponyo]

If you use the CFA app to order, you don't have to ask for anything. It's good app and you earn free food. They even deliver the food out to your car.

 

[zinfamous]

Get your facts straight.

What, you're saying their sandwiches aren't delicious? I say they are!

You're good at this.

 

[Xstatic1]

Not where I live (it's only half the time they'll ask), so I make a point of asking for the sauce I want.

Nope, he had a falafel truck.

Ah, okay.

 

[Xstatic1]

I dip my fries (if I order a sandwich combo) and nuggets in ranch sauce, so I'm requesting it if they didn't bother to ask me.

That all sounds sooo good! Your food truck would've been a contender since I love mediterranean food. I immediately rule out burgers and BBQ when I'm at a food truck park.

I get to play with Robo Coupes when I do the tech support at my buddy's shop, they make quality stuff! Last thing he ordered from them was a power mixer (one of the turbos, I think) - it was the size of a weedwhacker, hahahaha.

 

[MetalMat]

It's pretty good, better since they changed up their recipe a few years back. I still wish they had the coleslaw though.

 

[destrekor]

LOL

But honestly, as much as I despise that side of the company, they are otherwise fine human beings who give a lot. And more importantly, they are a privately held company, they have the right to hold their own opinion.

Now, discriminatory hiring practices, that's a whole different ballgame, and any such cased should sure as hell be brought to the court of public opinion.

 

[nutxo]

Tried the spicy deluxe last night. It was pretty tasty

 

[Kaido]

I tried the raspberry frosted lemonade today. Delicioso. I will be sad when they discontinue them next month!

 

[nutxo]

I do wish the fries were crispier though

 

[ponyo]

Depends on the location. Some cook it better than others. You can ask for crispier waffle fries.

 

[nakedfrog]

I do wish the fries were crispier though

Ask for them "well done", they have a button for that on the register (at the locations here, anyway).
