They opened 3 of them near me in the last 5 years with 1 more coming soon, and they are always packed to the gills with people.

Even with the price of chicken taking a massive hike, the drive thru always reaches the road.

I drove by one yesterday and they had, what appeared to be a 3 lane drive thru and there were at least 50 cars in line.

Just imagine running a franchise like that. You would be doing 10 mil per unit easy.

They have good food and no matter how long the line is, you are in and out in 2 minutes. And they never mess up your order.

Yes, their views massively suck though.

They literally closed the one in State College down to reconstruct the drive thru because of how much of a hazard it was having a huge line spill out onto a major roadway, as well as morons trying to turn left into the drive thru while there is a massive spill out onto the road

Every one nearby has like 2 giant lines that snake around the parking lot and into the nearby street. It's a pain in the ass if you need to drive by it.

This. Soggy ass chicken sandwiches.

But the customer service is leaps and bounds above most fast food services which may have something to do with it. "My pleasure!"

Never tried it. I hope we get one in SD at some point. Popeyes is the best chicken place I have here. I've heard Chick-fil-A is supposed to be one of the best fast food chicken places though.

For me I love the comments about people eating there because they hate gay people. Like that comes up when people are discussing what they eat for lunch.

Yeah I don't get it either. They are good but not that much better than elsewhere. I don't care that the service is friendly.

They are such a pain and they ruin traffic nearby. I get why they are popular but I can't figure out why they are soooo popular.

I have seen strip malls with neighboring stores go out of business because chic customers block parking and access around the lot while in line.

The local Chick Fil-A causes traffic issues because their drive-thru is always so crowded that it spills into the street and blocks a major intersection.

I like their chicken sandwiches. There's other places to get the same, but I have never received a messed up order from Chick-fil-a or encountered impolite staff. If we're hungry and the place is nearby, it's an option.

I've heard of the controversies connected to the company. Will still eat there as a gay man.

Yeah "You'd be waiting at McDonald's for 3 hours in such a line!" doesn't matter to drivers who have to deal with the place causing traffic half the day every day

I would imagine they get so packed because there are so few locations for them. That said though, their lines usually move pretty fast, despite how ridiculously long they get. Same with In N Out and Raising Cane's.
