Reasons Why I Love Chick-Fil-A

Chick-Fil-A rocks! Every time I take my family to Chick-fil-A, I think about how awesome it is to eat there compared to other fast food restaurants. Every time. Never fails.

I've been a fan of Chick-fil-A and their chicken sandwiches for a long long time...at least since college. Back then Chick-fil-A restaurants were only in the mall. Now they also have stand alone restaurants with drive-thrus.

Here are my reasons why Chick-fil-A rocks. Read on and please share your reasons below...

Awesome Customer Service

How many other fast food chains have friendly employees walking around offering to throw your trash away for you, get you a drink refill or anything else they can do to help you? Only one that I know of...Chick-fil-A. Their employees make a point of greeting you with a smile, being polite and, best of all, helpful.

At some other national fast food chains, you're lucky if the employees even acknowledge you're there.

Good Food

Chick-Fil-A Fire Chief by Clotee AllochukuTheir food is delicious and it's healthier than most other fast food options. Chick-fil-A's menu is mostly chicken (chikin if you spell like a cow) sandwiches and wraps.

My favorite sandwich is the Chargrilled Chicken Club. There's also a good selection of salads, side items, desserts and drinks including fresh squeezed lemonade and iced tea. You can even buy their iced tea by the gallon.

Chick-Fil-A Named One of the 5 Best Restaurants for Healthy Food

Chick-Fil-A was recently featured by the authors of Eat This, Not That! as one of the best restaurants in America. The chain earned an A- and their Chargrilled Chicken Sandwich noted as an Eat This!

Honey Roasted BBQ Sauce

Honey Roasted BBQ Sauce by prettyinprintThis stuff is awesome!

It goes great on everything...waffle fries, chicken sandwiches, chicken nuggets (which are real pieces of chicken), brownies (ok, maybe not brownies...I'll have to try that and get back to you).

Family Friendly

Chick-Fil-A Playground by maigreyChick-fil-A is a great place for a family meal. They offer food kids love in a friendly and clean environment with great customer service.

It's more nutritious than most other fast food options. The kids' meal prizes are fun and educational. And every location I've been to outside of a mall has a playground for the kids.

The Company Follows Its Values

S. Truett Cathy Quote by dbkingChick-fil-A is closed on Sundays. Do you know how much revenue a fast food restaurant misses out on by being closed an entire day, every week? Me neither, but I'm sure it's a lot.

The company's founder believed "that all franchised Chick-fil-A Operators and Restaurant employees should have an opportunity to rest, spend time with family and friends, and worship if they choose to do so. That's why all Chick-fil-A Restaurants are closed on Sundays." (source: Chick-fil-A FAQs)

I respect that...a lot...even if I do get disappointed when I'm out on a Sunday and have a craving for Chick-fil-A.

Educational Prizes for the Kids

Chick-fil-A offers fun and educational prizes with their kids' meals. These are usually puzzles, games or books. Yes, books, good story books that kids like to read again and again.

These aren't the chintzy toys based on whatever movie is out that are soon forgotten and find their broken way into the trash can that you get at most fast food restaurants. These are good quality items that help your kids learn while having fun. We have a seat pocket full of books from Chick-fil-A in our car that our kids enjoy reading while we're on the road.

At the time I'm writing this they're offering Cranium brand travel games, they've also offered books from PBS' Between the Lions program in the past.

Waffle Fries

Chick-Fil-A Fries by j.reedWaffle cut potatoes that still have the skin on, cooked perfectly and not coated in salt and sugar like other fast food chains. Delicious.

The only fast food chain that has better tasting fries is Five Guys.
