I'm a frequent happy customer of another Chick Fil A restaurant, but since I was in the area, I came in to redeem the Chicagoland My Rewards free chicken sandwich being offered right now and to use their free WiFi.
It's a Saturday at lunch time. There's a line to order food and the dining area is full. I went quickly through the order line & found a place to sit along the window with an outlet so I can charge my phone. The place is packed with families with loud, younger kids and is loud-even with one earbud in, but I'm ok with kids since I have 6 of my own and remember what it's was like when they were younger. It's definitely NOT the best time to try to study. LOL!
The tables along the windows are a little too close together, but the customers are making it work. I've even moved my table for the neighboring table guests to have space.
The employee in charge of the dining area has had her hand's full, pleasantly asking to take our trays, get us a refill, and wipe the tables, but I'm humored that she wiped the crumbs onto the floor. I have yet to see someone sweep the floor. I've been here for 2 hours and she continues to be polite and cheerful & the cup lid and straw underneath the booths have been there the entire time, too.
Earlier, the manager made his rounds, and offered to take someone's tray. He seemed pleasant, but never quite made it to my table.
The drive thru has been a steady flow of cars. I'm sitting about the 4th car from the drive thru window and I have yet to witness a lull in cars.
The dining room seemed to have several tables available around 2:00. Note to self, next time come after 1:30.
My food was fresh & tasty and was brought to my table. Another note to self, get napkins and a straw before I sit down because they don't include these when they bring food to table. I'm trying to eat Keto (which is sooo hard to do here because I love their fries) and was able to find a couple of items on their menu. Today it was a grilled chicken sandwich without the bun. They did serve it in a bowl and included a knife and fork. Perfect!
They have a nice, but small, clean bathroom located near the entrance. Why put the soap dispenser 3 feet away from the sink? Seems to me they need to switch the soap dispenser with the paper towels which is right next to the sink.
Overall, I'm happy with this visit. Good good food, free WiFi, and an outlet to charge my phone, but they need to spot sweep the dining room floors. read more
