| - Just to note - our first time having Chick-Fil-A, no childhood memories are involved at all.
Got to this location at 12:15 on a Wednesday and the line was out the door. We were leery but reviews said they move quickly so we ventured forth. It's true, they're very quick and also quite friendly. There were 2 employees taking orders from the line using tablets, then we just gave our name at the register to pay and get our sauces and drinks. We sat at a table and our food was brought to us shortly. I thought it was odd that they bagged it to go when we were dining in, but that didn't matter.
First note, hubby's lemonade - beyond tart. He grabbed some sugar packets to try to tone it down but it's a safe bet that we won't order that again. My Coke was fine, though slightly overfilled. It took a couple of napkins to clean up the overflow and I was glad that I didn't have to deal with that in my car.
The table wasn't cleaned before we sat down but it also wasn't completely gruesome. At that point in time, we just considered ourselves lucky to have even found an open table. It was cleaner when we left than when we arrived.
Now, the food. Hubby got the spicy original chicken sandwich with sriracha sauce and waffle fries. He ended up not using the sauce as the sandwich was exactly perfect on its spiciness and he didn't want to ruin it. The sandwich was a definite hit. The fries, sadly, were just average. Good potato flavor but not crunchy and it could have benefited from a bit more salt. Overall, he's a fan now.
I got the original chicken sandwich with the original Chick-Fil-A sauce and opted for the fruit cup instead of waffle fries. The sandwich was fantastic, tender and juicy chicken, seasoned nicely and not greasy. The sandwich only has pickles on it so I used the sauce which was slightly sweet and went well with the chicken. I was impressed with the fruit cup because it wasn't 90% melon like most fruit cups. In fact, there wasn't any melon, it was mostly apple pieces with some blueberries, strawberries, and mandarin oranges. The end result, I'm also a fan.
We'll happily eat at Chick-fil-a again but it probably won't be soon. None of their locations are in the NW so it's not exactly handy.
