Discussion What is so great about Chick-fil-A???

I travel 100% for my job. I travel all over the USA. I have been all over the East coast, West coast, Southeast and Midwest and every Chick-Fil-A i pass is packed with cars, Cars lined up in the drive-thru. What is so great about this place? I have had it a few times and don't see what is so great that people line up to buy it.

Canes and Zaxby's are both bland and depend on sauces.

Wingstop and Popeyes are fantastic.

Culver's and Carl's Jr are sleepers.

Church's is overrated.

The rest are varying degrees of OK.

I don't expect much from white meat chicken, tho.

The random chicken places in gas stations are always the best.

The Culver’s buffalo tenders are surprisingly very good

I think Culver's is probably the best fast food place. I mean who serves not only a pot roast sandwich, but a damn good one?

Culver's is GOAT for having killer pot roast. It's probably my most-ordered item.

Speaking of Church's... I don't think I've heard anyone say anything good about the chain for at least a decade now.

I had Walmart deli fried chicken for the first time in years yesterday. It was...keyword fresh...and TBH better than popeyes.

Gas station Krispy Krunchy has always been a favorite too and it's a Louisiana company I think.

I always see a Krispy Krunchy in the Chicago burbs and I've always wondered. Might have to try it now.
