Jan. 2026 The location is right off the freeway, so it can be very busy depending on the time of day. The lot is big but most of the lot is shared with the rest of the strip mall. I normally order carry-out but I do recommend dining in when possible since the food tends to be on the colder side if you take it to go. The drive-thru wait time is 0/10. Every time I came to drive thru the wait was bad + the confirmation on my order was still incorrect is a bit much. I did enjoy the friendly service this evening but my food was served cold not hot from the kitchen and the drink with my order tasted like Diet Coke instead of Coke. read more

Why am I not surprised this location only has two stars on Yelp? We're huge Chick-fil-A fans and have visited plenty of locations across the country--Missouri, Colorado, Kansas, Arizona, and many places in between. Unfortunately, this was by far the worst experience we've had. We waited over 20 minutes for our order, which felt especially frustrating for a fast food restaurant. The food itself was mediocre at best, and the service was nowhere near the level we've come to expect from Chick-fil-A. One of the reasons we love Chick-fil-A is usually the consistency and customer service, but this location really missed the mark on both. read more

Very bad service especially from Emily the manager very rud and disrespectful to customer.

Goodness gracious. I came to Yelp for Chick-fil-a's menu. What a total surprise to find the extremely low rating for the La Palma location. What? really? Ok, admittedly, I miss Marie Callendar's Pie n'stuff too (former business at this location), but, for me, Chick-fil-a is a welcome addition to our local La Palma fast-food landscape. I eat there at least once a week. Mostly salads. Why? Drive-thru. As some reviewers said, the delightful employees who greet us with a smile at the order box rain or shine keep me coming back. And, yes, I have eaten inside the restaurant. It's always been clean (dining area & restrooms), great service, good food. So far, my orders have been correct. For me, Chick-fil-a's secret weapon is the frozen delight cone/cup. Sometimes I drive-thru just for a cone. Yum. And I occasionally add on a delicious brownie. Double yummers. Anyway, the lines of car's queuing up at Chick-fil-a can often look daunting, but they move fast and efficiently. So I'll be by for my Cobb Salad & iced tea later today! read more

By far the WORST Chick-fil-A I've ever been to. The first time I came here I just thought maybe I came on a bad day. Wrong. I've come here a couple more times and it just sucks. The bread is always dry, cold, and toasted just on one side. They always get something wrong with my order. Last time I came I found a hair in my food. Just there sitting on my cheese. And this time I ordered a sandwich with toppings and they gave me a plain sandwich. Hello??! I ordered it through drive through and had to go back to tell them. If I paid for it i expect it to be there! All they did was give me a new sandwich, in many other locations I would have gotten a brownie or a small fry. It's like I inconvenienced them! I had to go back to get the food I ordered because you didn't deliver! Sandwich was still dry and cold. 0/5 never coming back. read more

Barely any fires in my container. Also forgot to give sauces that we asked for. Lower ur prices to match the amount of effort you put into filling up your fry containers. Thanks read more

Picked up an order here. Service was decent and they had my order ready when I arrived. Parking was a bit difficult when I visited as the lot is shared with the other stores in the plaza. Restaurant was clean. Food was good and felt fresh out of the kitchen. read more

Food is good but they are very bad at including the right sauces, while also nudging you along to leave the drive thru. Disappointing bc I enjoy chick fil a for the sauces. read more

I've given this Chick‑fil‑A more chances than any location deserves, and today officially ended it for me. When they first opened, I assumed the issues were just opening jitters, but it's clear now that this is simply how this location operates. The service is consistently slow, even early in the morning when things should be running smoothly. I come around 6:45 AM and order the same simple breakfast every time, yet I always end up waiting eight minutes or more with no communication. The staff takes my payment, walks away, and never acknowledges the delay. The food quality is all over the place as well. Some days it's fine, other days it feels like a completely different restaurant. It's so inconsistent that I've genuinely wondered who is cooking each morning. Today was the final straw. I waited several minutes at the drive‑thru kiosk with no response, and the car in front of me actually gave up and left. When someone finally took my order, the line moved painfully slow. At the window, they confirmed the wrong name twice, even though only one lane was open. Apple Pay seemed to confuse the staff completely, and after an awkward exchange, they finally processed the payment. Then, after all that, they handed me someone else's entire order. Apparently Michael's breakfast is a big deal to them, because they kept asking about him, but I'm the one who drove off with his spicy chicken sandwich, egg‑and‑chicken creation, and English muffin with egg and sausage. By the time I reached my office, it was too late to go back. I tried calling, hoping to reach a real person or at least request a gift card, but I couldn't get past the automated system. This location simply does not uphold the standards Chick‑fil‑A is known for. Slow service, poor communication, inconsistent food, and now completely incorrect orders. I won't be returning. Unless your name is Michael -- in which case, they're looking for you, and I have a few questions about your breakfast choices. read more

Was craving some Mac and cheese! And decided to hit chick fil a since they have pretty good Mac and cheese. I also like the waffle fries too. Dipped in ranch or ketchup and you are all set lol To my surprise, the drive thru was not packed. I'm used to long lines at Chick fil a. But I must have gotten lucky. Because I pulled up and ordered and then rolled up to the window. And my food was done. Super quick! It was hot and fresh. read more

We had such a wonderful experience thanks to Sunny (or Sony--sorry if we got the name wrong! Here's an emoji which is a safer bet). He was incredibly kind and attentive from the start. We asked for a small adjustment to our salad, and he made it happen without a second thought--no hassle, just a genuine willingness to help. Even though indoor dining was closed and we were eating outside, Sunny still came all the way out just to check if we needed drink refills. That extra bit of care really stood out and made us feel so welcome and taken care of. It's rare to find service this thoughtful, and it absolutely made our day. We'll definitely be coming back. Thanks again, Sunny! read more

She got Buffalo and threw it again into my bag the worse customer service never once did she say thankyou or anything ! I worked with food and customer service for 5 years that's no customer service she gave at all ! read more

Chick-fil-A - Fast Food Near Me - Buena Park, California

I was intending to stop by next door Habit Burger to eat my dinner there, and then claim my free drink reward^ from Chick-fil-A after that. Little did I know that when I opened the Chick-fil-A app on my phone, I had a reward for a free chicken sandwich* just because I was in SoCal! I don't think two rewards can be redeemed in one transaction, and since the free chicken sandwich reward was going to expire sooner than the free drink reward, I went for the complimentary sando. When I walked in on a Thursday evening, there wasn't anyone in line, but it still took over a minute for someone to come out and take my order. There certainly wasn't a staffing shortage because a handful of employees were walking by the register, some even making eye contact with me, but none of them acknowledged my presence. That was pretty annoying. Luckily, Lena, who took my order, seemed appreciative of my business and almost made me forget about the lackluster service everyone else provided. However, she did repeat a question she had asked even though I had already answered the first time, so maybe a little improvement there perhaps? It didn't take long for the sandwich to come out, probably about 5 minutes max. During those 5 minutes, I admired the interior of the restaurant, which had flowers on every table. Such a nice touch! They also have a fascinating motion-activated trash can where you essentially have to wave to the door at a close distance as a way to say "Open sesame!" There's a counter by the front door that has your usual suspects: napkins, utensils, sauce packets, and mints! If you want any of the Chick-fil-A sauces, including its namesake sauce, ask for it at the counter when you place your order! When I got my takeout bag, I took it back to my car to eat. I also asked for a cup of water, and it was given to me free of charge. Since I had just eaten a burger from Habit Burger minutes ago, I didn't want to overindulge and use a sauce on the chicken sandwich, so I just ate it as is. Obviously, it would have been better with a sauce, but it was still decent. Nothing special, however. The buns got too soggy, perhaps from being in its insulated bag for so long, and the chicken, while not exactly dry, wasn't really plump and juicy by any means. It still did the trick, however, so that's that. This Chick-fil-A is on the southwest corner of Orangethorpe and Valley View. Easy to get into whether you're driving east or westbound on the 91 freeway, but despite the ample parking in the plaza, getting out of the lot might be a challenge, especially with a bunch of cars coming in and out of the plaza. There are two drive-thru lanes that start on the far west side, and both lanes had quite some traffic at the time of my first visit. A fender bender could easily happen here if you're not being careful. I returned a second time to claim another free sandwich reward. This time, Mia was the employee who took my order, and she seemed pretty sweet from the little I interacted with her. I got my sandwich way faster this time; it was only about 30 seconds before Mia called my name and handed me my sandwich. Fast food indeed! lol I added some mustard this time, and it did make the sandwich taste better, though not by much. My comments from the first sandwich still apply here. Overall, not a bad Chick-fil-A to go to, but not quite the best. However, if you're craving chicken, and this is the closest location to you, I'd say go here, but don't expect everything to go smoothly. And definitely don't expect top-tier high-quality chicken on every visit. ^ This summer, Chick-fil-A is rolling out a mobile game that you can play to win some free food/drink rewards. It's called Code Moo https://www.playcodemoo.com/, but only on mobile devices! You simply have to answer three geography questions to claim a reward on a weekly basis, but be fast! There's only a finite number of rewards that can be won from this game. The week of my first visit, the reward was for a free drink. Good luck! * The reward was a promo for Angels baseball. There's even a cow inside holding up a sign implying that if the Angels score 7 runs in a game, fans can get a free chicken sandwich. When I looked up the promo online, it turns out the 7 runs has to be a home game, but the Angels don't necessarily have to win that game for the promo to count. The day I went, the Angels had lost, and I still got the free sando reward. read more

I have given this chick fil a plenty of chances. However they have all seem to disappoint. Today was by far the worst. They ran out of biscuits, employee offered to serve an English muffin, then other employees were serving the drive thru line biscuits. She didn't even bother to mention that a new batch was being made and I could have waited a few more minutes. Employee walks away to make our iced vanilla cold brew which tasted like pure milk with a hint of old coffee. I ended up having to throw away my coffee since it was so bad. And to top it off, once the food arrived, there was a hair from one of the employees in the kitchen. Beyond disgusting! Never again. read more

Door dasher be aware. This location caused me to get a dasher violation for delivering 14 minutes late. It was after 9pm when lobby closed and drive thru was very backed up. I disputed the violation and explained it, but who knows if that will clear it from being my fault read more

A very clean and vibrant Chick-fil-A Chain located close to the corner of Orangethorpe and Valley View Blvd. Food is of course of the regular Chick-fil-A style. I was in a hurry and needed a little filler upper for my stomach. I got the 8pc. Grilled Chicken nugget with the Chick-fil-A Sauce to go. Service was fast soon as you ordered it in a few minutes you have it. Which of course the way fast food is served. Good job for the service people manning the counter. read more

Not a happy customer. The first time I'm actually dissatisfied here ever! I ordered a large fry and this is what I got. I have become too comfortable with the customer service that I didn't check my bag before pulling away. I'll never not check again. Please do better chick fila staff. read more

Chick-fil-A - Supposed to be a large fry - Fast Food Near Me - Buena Park, California

My first time at this Chick-fil-A and I'm so happy they're open since it's right down the street from where I live. I thought the drive-thru was a bit odd as there's two lines with two workers, and I was so far from the menu when the worker asked me what I would like to order... I had to pull out my phone to search for the menu lol she didn't have the menu on her for me to look at? It was nice they had heaters and fans mounted above when ordering though. Then the two lanes merged into one for the pickup window... Everything was delicious! My first time getting the strawberry milkshake and it was so good!!! Omg I'm addicted. read more

Chick-fil-A - Fast Food Near Me - Buena Park, California

Welcome to the newest CFA in the area! Parking is well thought out, and they even have clean air / carpool spots that everyone who isn't driving carpool or a clean air vehicle can use instead of illegally parking in handicap spots. Staff, as with most CFAs, are very friendly and attentive. Being new, they are slammed, and service has been a little slow. I'm sure the kinks will get worked out! I haven't had the option for curbside pickup, but there are spots for that. Interior is smallish, but who eats at the stores anymore? Outdoor seating is very nice, reminiscent of some in and outs. Two gender neutral toilets with changing stations, and the world's narrowest sinks await your pleasure. Oh ya, the chicken was on par with every other 5* CFA. Enjoy! read more

Terrible! This has got the be the worst Chick-fil-A drive thru in existence. The time it takes to get a simple order completed is 3x longer than ANY other Chick-fil-A. I don't know if it's that they're understaffed or they're incompetent but it's NOT the place to expect a quick turn around. We drove up to the drive thru, not one single car was in line at the time. Ordered 1 box of 10 chicken minis for breakfast and it took, no exaggeration, 10 MINS. What is happening here?! read more

Drive through convenience, there are two lanes and people stationed to pre-order before even getting up to that intercom. I gave my order today to a very polite lady Alexandra , with whom I shared my new granddaughter's photos ( sorry that's gonna be me for a little while). Got the spicy chicken sandwich meal ( comes with waffle fries and a drink), a deluxe chicken sandwich meal and one plain chicken sandwich plus three brownies. Chicken was tender, waffle fries just fresh out of the fryer (of course I grabbed a couple and burned my tongue a little lol). The Polynesian sauce is a great accompaniment to the sandwich. Straightforward, good food and great value for the price . Clean parking lot, easy exit from the plaza. This place gets really busy around noon but I beat the crowd by getting here at 1130. read more

The service at this location is horrible. The prices on their registers don't match the prices on the website. They tried charging me more on food and drinks when I ordered from the drive-thru. Luckily I was just looking at my app and my totals were almost $10 less. Watch out people, they are probably overcharging you! I had them look at the online menu and they matched the prices. read more

Pulled up to the window and wasn't even acknowledged. I sat there for a couple minutes before anyone came over, and when they finally did, they just asked for my name with no greeting or customer service. It wasn't a horrible experience, but it was definitely a bad one and left a negative impression. read more

We came in for dinner and heard employees complaining about their jobs, wearing earrings and nose rings. Food was cold and greasy. There was no manager on site and the floor was dirty. The worst Chick-fil-A I've ever been to. Shame on the owner. read more

Ok, so I'll start off by saying that this review isn't really about the establishment itself but more about the food I had here the other day. I dropped by here for the first time because I wanted to try the Honey Pimento Sandwich they have going on right now. I hadn't been to a Chick-fil-A in forever but the last couple times I had, I remember the food being pretty good. I ordered the sandwich, just the sandwich and it was a whopping 9$. I honestly couldn't believe it lol. For the size of the sandwich and everything, it is most definitely not worth that much money. I figured it must be that much because it's really good or something. It wasn't. It was extremely unsatisfying to eat. The bread was cold but the chicken patty was hot and the cheese and sauce they put on it was honestly not that great. It was one of the most mid sandwiches I've ever had from a fast food restaurant, and I find it really disappointing that I say that about a sandwich from Chick-fil-A because I like the food they sell for the most part lol. After this though, I don't think I will set foot in one again, at least for a while. I will give two stars because the workers were respectful and they had the sandwich out pretty quickly. But other than that, meh. read more

Heyyo long life fan of chick Fil a!! Today I came to this drive through location at 313pm and wanted to try the honey pep pim sandwich for the first time!

I appreciate that they were willing to copy my order from a list off my phone, even though the card reader didn't work with the first drive thru cashier. I like Polynesian sauce with chick-n strips.

Order at this location if you enjoy missing items, incorrect food, sad fries, incorrect drinks, wrong or no sauces. The phone number for this location 7149942442 hardly answers so good luck on your bad luck and cr_p service. This location lacks accountability and clearly proper training. Having worked in the busy fast casual food service industry myself for many years, and witnessed other busier restaurants like In n Out have minimal issues with churning out high volume correct orders, it's just simply unacceptable. I don't pay 17 dollars for a chicken sandwich combo for it to have missing items. read more

I love chick fil a and have been to a few, I usually experience good customer service. However, every time I come to this chick fil a, usually for breakfast, they take an extremely long time, longer than every other drive thru I've been to. It would be ok if it was one or two times but this happens every time I come here. It's especially stressful when you have to be at work on time, and the employees do not display any sense of urgency. I hope they're able to improve this as I would like to continue coming here. read more

However, when I came back for them to redo it. I made it all the way home just for them to mess up the redo order. Like dang seriously. How hard is it to get a grilled chicken club right.
