    On my birthday, I visited this Chick-fil-A location that sits just within steps of Chicago's iconic Chicago Theater, and the Medieval Torture Museum which I had just visited for a tour. I vowed that during my next visit to a Chick-fil-A location that I would order one of their salads. However, once I made my way up to the counter to order a salad, that all changed, tehehe. Once I saw Mac & Cheese on the menu, I totally disregarded any thoughts of ordering a salad. I ended up ordering a Mac & Cheese, and Waffle Potato Fries w/ a Fanta Orange. After ordering, the employee gave me a 'Be our guest' gift card which featured a choice of one out of four free redeemable breakfast items that can be redeemed at any Chick-fil-A location. My order was completed within a reasonable timeframe, as I literally pulled out extra napkins from the dispenser. Since I had no other plans at the time, I dined in and absolutely enjoyed the view from the window. Lake & State is one of my favorite parts of downtown Chicago because it brings back many memories of my past visits to the city as a tourist; and memories while taking college classes at Harold Washington College which sits diagonal of this Chick-fil-A. As for my order, the outside portion of the Mac & Cheese was burnt, however, its taste made up for its appearance. And of course, the Waffle Potato Fries did not disappoint as I knew they would not. As for returning you bet I will, if in the downtown Chicago area and I get just the slightest craving for some of those Waffle Potato Fries that Chick-fil-A is known for. Atmosphere: 5 | Service: 5 | Food: 3 1/2 Recommendations: Waffle Potato Fries, Mac & Cheese, Greek Yogurt Parfait, Kale Crunch Side, or Side Salad. ~ Smile. It looks good on you. ~ Thomas G

    Located on Lake and Michigan, this fast food joint normally functions quickly and i am in and out. My order is not always right but I understand that they are hiring inexperienced staff members. I was not happy because the inexperienced manager did not have good customer service skills. I should have asked for his manager. So I made my order and AFTER paying, he mentioned my order would be 20 minutes late. I asked to talk to a manager and he said that he was. I asked why 20 minutes and asked for a refund in cash because I had gift card. After he asked someone in back, he said that the card would be refunded but I wanted cash because I didnt want to come back if it didn't work. It appeared to work but now I have to take the trouble of checking later. Monday blues.

    Yum

    It's always busy but that's not an issue for us to come here to eat. This is my husband and my place to eat after school. We both are students and after class we both come to get a bite to eat. We always get the chicken strips and nuggets. Sooo good. I love their fries, but the true stars are the sauces. We always get the herb and ranch. And dip everything we get in it. There's no need for ketchup. Costumer service is also great and fast. Not one single rude cashier. They are very organized. Good job

    Love this location! They are always busy, but they work quickly and efficiently! I've never had any issues with my order or scoring extra condiments for my meal! If you're in the area be sure to check them out!

    Chick-fil-A is one of my favorite fast food places. I got the combo #1. I love their chicken. Its freshly fried. Nice and crunchy. They are located in a pretty nice location (downtown). One thing I love about their chicken is that its nice, juicy and crunchy. Awesome service on top. Remember to ask for their special sauce. You will be missing out if you don't get it.

    Dirty restaurant. Look at the dust on the ceiling, never clean, not your typical chick Fila

    Not your typical Chick-fil-A. They never come around to refill your drink or get your trash. They constantly have a long line and the customer service is subpar wouldn't recommend this to Tourists if they have another option

    I came, I killed the salad in which I adore!!!

    I've been hearing so much about Chicago hot dogs and decided since I was in town why not try one so…read moreI checked out Portilo's & Barnelli's Chicago that so many people told me to try. It is a pretty neat place when went in I saw that they have a lot of memorabilia all around the place. Also famous people have also been there with their autographs on their pictures. This place was quite busy which tells me that it must be good. It was very organized you can order your meal on a kiosk or at the counter. We decided to order it at the counter I ordered a famous Chicago hot dog which is an all beef hot dog on a poppy seed bun topped with chop onions, sweet pickle relish, tomato slices, dill pickle and a small spicy pepper with no ketchup but does have yellow mustard the price you could not bet it was very reasonable my guest ordered an Italian sandwich. After ordering the cashier gives you a receipt with your number on it and you step to the side. Then you wait until your number is called and that's how you get your order. Yes it was crowded but we waited for our two items for at least a half an hour which to me was unacceptable but besides that the place is really neat to try and the hot dog as well as the Italian sandwich was delicious definitely will be back again fingers crossed that we don't have to wait so long but the wait was worth it. They also have lots of seating around the restaurant. There is a second story as well you could sit up there.

    i tried the italian beef sandwich with extra gravy and spicy peppers. there was generous portions…read moreof beef and the peppers were actually hot! the bun does get quite soggy if you order extra gravy but think of it as a french dip sandwich. i came here on a saturday and the wait was about 30 minutes to get our food. the staff are very organized and have a good system down to handle the big crowds. the ambiance of the restaurant is pure chicago with the sports banners and decor.
