Highly variable on location. The ones I used to frequent in Pensacola were awesome. The ones in Huntsville AL are awful. But that pretty much goes for all fast food here. Too many good paying jobs available outside fast food. Good problem to have economy wise I guess.

@Rain Cold you once said CFA dominated the drive thru management but they have 100% ruined the one here. I would never go there except my kid likes it. They've taken the double lane drive thru and made one lane mobile order only. So today there were literally 25 cars in the one drive thru lane while the mobile app lane was empty.

CFA continues to suck!

I hate hate hate hate how restaurants deal with mobile orders. Almost all fast food places prioritize them over in-person orders. It's almost impossible to eat at Jersey Mike's now.

Yeah when the two lanes merge the drive thru must "yield" to the left mobile order lane.

Years ago there was a challenge at CFA to see who could eat the most chicken nuggets. The winner would get a years worth of free CFA I finished at 11 boxes of 8 count nuggets. The winner was a little skinny lady who ate around 150 nuggets

My son is an ARFID diagnosed kid. He is currently on a CFA kick. We are there as I type this and they are so backed up they are back to taking drive thru orders in the mobile app lane.

I am apparently on my own with my dislike of CFA as it is clear by how busy they are that many people love this chicken.

They definitely are making money off of your info that goes with your phone into the app.

Yea despite the complaints on here about CFA (which might be valid I dunno), I've noticed they are busier than ever around here. In fact, I sometimes avoid them cause I can get in and out quicker going somewhere else.

Took one pick as I was in line waiting and one when I left and the line wasn't even to the awnings yet. My wife texted me asking if I had gotten lost but I was just stuck at CFA Stupid busy and I hate going there. Drove right next door to cookout for my own meal.and was through the drive thru in the less than 4 minutes. Screenshot_20260613_213202_Gallery.jpgScreenshot_20260613_213223_Gallery.jpg
 
If it's been me, I've usually just parked and gone in the CFA. I usually can get my food pretty quickly that way, but there has occasionally been a small wait.

There was one time a while ago though where I did use the drive thru and initially amusingly tried to grab what I ordered without safely parking the car for a short minute. That idea didn't go well, but I didn't do anything too stupid.

Dad always says that he doesn't understand when he sees the long CFA drive thru lines.

Um. Yea that is madness.

That's actually more crowded than in the Triangle, and we love us some CFA. But I think we got more locations to offset that to some degree. (I have a theory we have as many CFAs as McDonalds, but I've never looked it up)

Cookout's one of my staples. I drive from Raleigh to Wilmington quite a bit and stop at the one I call the Warsaw outpost exit, and they are usually very quick. (I call that exit an outpost cause it literally has almost every fast food joint available, despite being in a heavily rural area)
 
So went to Olive Garden that just opened here in Ames about 2 weeks ago. The food was meh , at best. Calamari was ok, salad sucked, bredsticks were very meh and overdone, chicken Parm was 4/10, no hurry to go back! The Andes mints saved it! 🤔😂

Bojangles making a good showing recently. Food is always hot and great no matter which store we go to

When I’m driving back to SC , that’s my first restaurant I stop at that they don’t have up here and I truly love! I think the first one I pass is in TN, possibly KY
Also stop at the first Waffle House I see, which I believe is Indiana, possibly Illinois!
Regardless, love both of them
 
Had the curd-burger at Culver’s yesterday! Pretty decent, imo!
 
My fave lately has been Raising Cane's . Longer lines there than CFA when I lived in Arizona and Utah. I really do like In n Out too.

Chick Fil A = 🗑️ 💩

I'm not a big fan of Chick Fil A myself. I don't understand why their restaurants are always so crowded. They do have great customer service but the chicken sandwiches and sides are nothing special. You can find a chicken sandwich just as good at least a half of dozen other fast food chains.

Went today for the first time in years, the food has really went down hill!! I’m not even sure I was eating chicken and I had a sandwich and nuggets!! Won’t go back
We need a Canes in Ames!! Please
 
GaWx said:
I think Chic Fil A is still very good. I eat the grilled chicken sandwich, the best I’ve ever had consistently for fast food, and waffle fries. I think their fries are 2nd best to the GOAT, 5 Guys.

I badly miss their awesome cole slaw.

Next time you’re in ATL, look up the dwarf house near the airport

This is so true. Everytime I’m at jersey mikes they have a line waiting while they have stacks of receipts behind the counter making to go orders.

Or stop a few exits north “ Old National Highway “ go by the car wash right off the exit after 4pm. Great selection. If you know you know.

I wired an Aaron's Rental with my dad near there a dozen or so years ago. Our work hours were very limited.
