I am writing to formally complain about an experience I had today, August 13, at the Chick-fil-A location on Killian Road. This morning, I went inside the restaurant and placed a simple breakfast order. My receipt reflects that I ordered the grilled chicken and egg white breakfast entrée. I paid with my card, received my order, and left the restaurant to travel to class. Unfortunately, because I was already running late, I did not check the contents of the bag before leaving. My class is approximately 30 miles from the Killian Road location. Once I arrived and opened my breakfast, I discovered that I had been given a bacon and egg sandwich instead of the item I ordered. I do not eat pork. Because I was attending a four-hour class and had no other opportunity to get breakfast, I removed the bacon and ate the bread and egg so that I would not have to sit through class hungry. I attempted to contact the restaurant as soon as I discovered the mistake, but no one answered the phone. During a break from class, at approximately 11:00 a.m., I called the location again and spoke with a young lady who identified herself as Nylani Coring and stated that she was a store manager. Unfortunately, her response to my concern was extremely disappointing. Rather than acknowledging that I had been given an incorrect order, one of her first questions was whether I had eaten the sandwich. When I explained that I had removed the bacon and eaten the remaining portion because I was already 30 miles away and sitting through a four-hour class, I was told that because I had eaten part of it, I could not receive a refund, gift card, or any other resolution. I found that response unreasonable. The restaurant made the error, I received an item containing pork that I did not order and do not eat, and I was already significantly inconvenienced by the time I discovered the mistake. I should not then be penalized because I chose to eat the portions of the sandwich that I could eat rather than go without breakfast entirely. What concerned me even more was the manner in which the situation was handled. Ms. Coring was dismissive and, in my opinion, unnecessarily rude during the conversation. When I asked for contact information for the individual listed on my receipt who I understood to be the Owner/Operator, I was told that she could not provide an email address and that I would need to contact corporate. She later stated that she was communicating with a Front of House Director regarding my concern, but she also refused to provide that individual's contact information. The call ultimately ended while I was still attempting to discuss the matter. When I attempted to call the restaurant back, my subsequent calls were not answered and went to voicemail. This situation is no longer about the approximately $5 cost of a breakfast sandwich. It is about customer service and how a legitimate concern was handled. I understand that mistakes happen, and receiving the wrong order alone would not have prompted me to submit a formal complaint. However, I did not expect a store manager to respond to a customer in such a dismissive manner over an error made by the restaurant. I have always associated Chick-fil-A with a high standard of customer service, which is why this experience was particularly disappointing. I am requesting that someone from the appropriate leadership team contact me regarding this matter and review both the incorrect order and the way my complaint was handled by store management. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing from someone regarding a resolution. read more

Was returning from Columbia today stopped at the Chic-fil-a on Killian Rd. This was between 1:30-2pm (Wednesday). I was only one at counter, but was welcomed by at least 3 employees the second I walked in. Staff member was quick to take my order, gave me the table tower, so my order could be brought to me. I grabbed napkins, and before I sat down another staff member was standing beside me with my order. The food is in my opinion always great at Chic-fil-a. The restaurant was very clean with multiple staff members on the floor cleaning tables. Since it looks like I'll be traveling to Columbia weekly starting in January, I'm sure I'll be returning. read more

I went to get a grilled chicken Cobb salads I paid almost $10 for basically a container full of lettuce. I received a sprinkle like I can count how many shreds of cheese and corn kernels on the salad. the chicken was about 5 pieces. I don't eat pork so I said no bacon pieces or tomatoes. it's not like they subtracted the price. I got half of an egg. it was waste of money. never again. Then I was waiting to ask for more condiments and workers walked passed me and just stood there and didn't ask could they help me. but thankfully a sweet young lady at the drive thru saw me and came over to help me. I wish I got her name. I don't know if it's the economy or management but Chick-fil-A is becoming a McDonald's. I mean the workers are so relax and not having that helping spirit like they use to . it's ashame read more

Also the manager on duty for November 5th around 9pm has a nasty attitude. The guy with glasses, the girl is not to friendly either. Did not give me the drink I asked for I requested a diet Dr Pepper and received a coke. got sick after eating here on Thursday, December 28th, 2023. I am convinced it is what made me sick as it was the only thing I had eaten all day and nobody else around me got sick (so likely not a virus). I went around 1pm and they were getting orders out very quickly. I wonder if perhaps the chicken wasn't properly cooked, in order to keep up with the lunch rush. Staff was nice and efficient, but efficiency is not appreciated when it means the food is undercooked. Won't be eating at chikfila for a very longggggg time. the ambiance was cold and hot. the bathrooom has my young kid a bad rash in between her legs.. do better read more

We stopped at this Chick-fil-A while traveling. The team member who took my order was polite. Our food came out promptly. The restrooms and inside of the restaurant. I love the touchless trashcan! All in all, the food was reliably good, and what I would expect from a Chick-fil-A. read more

I went inside to order. I was the only one in line and two people were waiting for their order while drive through was very busy. I got up to the counter to place my order and asked very nicely even with a please to have my spicy chicken sandwich to be cooked fresh. I was told "they" are NOT going to do that because of how often they push out the chicken sandwiches. I said I'm willing to wait the extra time for my cooked fresh chicken sandwich. I was told again "they" are NOT going to do it. I asked for her to "just inform" them in the back. She said again "they" are NOT going to do it. I cancelled my entire order and walked out. If I'm paying MY food with MY money and not your money asking you to make an item that you're going to make anyway, why can't I have it cooked fresh? If I am asking, I'm asking for a reason. That reason is I've had my fair share of not so fresh chicken sandwiches especially when you go in the drive through, which is why I went in and was willing to wait for my cooked fresh chicken sandwich. I'm so done with people and their slack service. If I'm going to pay for an overpriced sandwich at least make it fresh for a paying customer. Chick-fil-A could've accommodated my request. read more

Chick-fil-A breakfast is life. Chicken sandwich and chicken mini! We tried the frosted coffees but may be too sweet for some. We've had terrible results though sadly with ordering delivery from several Chick-fil-A locations including this one. They always seem to forget 2-3 items which is mind blowing since they have their drive through run so accurately and efficiently. read more

I stopped by here last night and the line was sooo long! While looking at the line, I decided to hop in it. They had this process down to a science and I was in awe! There were two ladies that were out there taking orders. As they took the orders, we would then continue around to get to the window, there was another booth there where a gentleman was taking monies by the names on the orders. After passing him was the window to get your food. The drive thru attendant, verified our names, handed us our food and we were gone. My daughter and I stopped again this morning. It was busy, but we experienced the same customer service. It is amazing how well Chick-fil-a has this process down to a science. They are a great establishment! read more

This Chic -fil-A is the worst I ever visited. After numerous errors in our order we have decided not to stop here anymore. Some of the errors were being given kale salad instead of side salads, salads that were missing chicken, chicken mini that were hard and stuck to the box. Forget about calling to complain because no one answers the phone and do not return messages. I did go inside one time to speak with female manager who seemed to careless. On our last trip my husband ordered a sausage, egg, cheese sandwich and had sudden diarrhea with stomach cramps for 3 days. read more

This is a great location, service is always quick and very kind. You can tell that employees really care about their place of work. The inside of the location is very clean and well taken care of. Food is consistently very good and fresh. read more

They have drastically improved since my last review and they seem to have taken steps to improve their issues. This location is extremely busy and they seem to have a better-trained staff and more training to handle this. read more

I order a fucking salad and a drink if shouldn't take this long. And then it states it's ready and it's not ready it doesn't make any sense, I gave a 3, because they was nice and gave me a complimentary card. They usually better today must be rough read more

Traveling to the beach for our Super Bowl Family trip we spotted for some chickfila. I'm so glad we spotted at this location because we met the absolute sweetest chickfila employee Julie B. Chickfila is intentional when choosing their staff, and Julie B exuberates the values they want to share with their customers. She was so nice, and always wore a smile with every customer she came into contact with. I told her that day that I appreciated her polite personality and had nice she is to everyone. Unfortunately some Chickfilas are starting to slip in this area, but it was certainly refreshing to met Julie B and be reminded of what everyone ENJOYS and APPRECIATES the most about Chickfila. Thank you and Kuddos to JULIE B! read more

Chick-fil-A is always consistent with their service and food. I always get nuggets or the Cobb salad. The kids meal is enough for me, 6 piece meal with ice cream cone instead of the toy. This location is always clean. The staff is so pleasant and meets Chick-fil-A standard. read more

This has to be the worst chick-fil-a I've ever been to. I arrived at 6:40AM and didn't get my food until 7:12 AM. Never go here.

The service here is exceptional- one of the staff overheard my sister say she wished she had ordered an iced coffee instead, and brought her one immediately. Super clean, fast service and everyone was pleasant and happy to be here working. So glad we found this place since we travel this corridor often. read more

This is by far the worst Chick-fil-A I've been to. We got food on 4/18 around 220 in the day to go (we were traveling). The fries tasted old, the nuggets and strips tasted cold like they had been sitting all day. The milkshake even had to be remade due to something being in it. read more

The service was so disappointing. I ordered two regular chick-fil-a deluxe sandwiches and only one was placed in the bag. I had to go out of my way to ask for the one not in the bag and the manager apologized which to me is the bare minimum, but i didn't receive anything for the inconvenience. And on top of that one of the sandwiches had a spicy patty! If i wanted that i would've ordered it. I'm still giving it two stars because everything else that was correct was good, but I'm most likely going to stick with picking up my orders through the app if i come back because so far that's been the only way my orders have been completely correct. read more

Spent $15 bucks on breakfast for my grandson and I. The English muffin sandwich was as hard as a brick. We won't be back.

2 star due to not good weekend service in the drive-thru, the drive thru lines are horrible and you wait forever especially on weekends, random employees walk up with food and try to pay at the car window, the food is good but the service needs work here read more

This location doesn't have the first clue on how to run curbside pickup. I waited over 30 minutes for a simple 2-meal order while drive thru was clearing people through left and right. Then I tried to use the restroom and they denied me. read more

This has been by far the worst Chick-fil-A I have ever eaten at. I created a mobile order and in the instructions asked for my fries well done along with my chicken sandwich well done, extra salt on fries and extra pickles . After waiting 15 min for my order, it was wrong. I brought it up to the manager and explained what was wrong and he said he would take care of it. After waiting an additional 15min my food came out and this time the fries had no salt on them, I had 1 pickle and my sandwich and the sandwich itself was a what you would expect to find a a McDonald's. This has been the worst Chick-fil-A experience I have ever had in my life and will never come to this location again. read more

What else can I say, chick fil a is awesome! Food is great! Hot! Delicious. Service is always exceptional. Staff is friendly and always has the condiments in the bag. read more

Chick-fil-a has always been my go to and I have always (until now) been impressed with their service. So today they give me someone else's order which is forgivable because, hey they are 99.9% on point other wise, but when I call to let them know, the only remedy is to come back tomorrow at breakfast time to get my 3 chicken biscuits. Not ok. This is directly from the manager at the direction of the operator (owner) I wouldn't have an issue if my son could eat the eggs I was given accidentally but he has an allergy therefore I'm out of luck. So, note to Operator: When your people make a mistake, go out of your way fix it the right way and insure satisfaction. Compensate me for the inconvenience you caused me, my time, like yours is worth something. Don't let your standards slip. read more

Food quality is great - the CFA experience, but the speed and organization is so bad! You cannot be in a hurry at this location.

When I stopped in, it was sort of an "off peak" time so I had to wait a while for my order. But I would rather wait & get freshly cooked food than get lukewarm stuff that has been sitting there under warming lights for a while. Employees were very nice & restrooms were clean. I am sure I will stop at this location again. read more

Food was okay & I waited in line for 15 minutes which is too long, while the other line was moving. Also they didn't ask if I wanted my receipt. To add on top they put cold condiments on my HOT FOOD!!! Disappointed. read more

I went for breakfast and the hash browns I received were all crumbs and I could not enjoy them at all. My chick Fula biscuit had so much butter on it that the bread was crumbled up and it was not enjoyable at all. This was poor food quality and I'm dissatisfied and disappointed with this and would like some type compensation. read more

Very friendly and polite staff. Brought our meal to the table. They came by table to offer drink refills. I ordered a fruit cup and chicken sandwich. Both came out a few minutes later, despite a very long drive thru line! My fruit cup was very fresh! Usually if u get fruit somewhere, it's mushy and brown. Not here!! My chicken sandwich wash hot and made fresh. read more

Quick drive thru option. Super long line but they were making it move efficiently. We used the app to order ahead and they brought it right to us. We forgot to include one of the salad dressing that we wanted and when we asked for one, the associate took care of it immediately. Food was warm and delicious!! read more

Usually I don't have an issue with this Chic Fil A. I decided to try something new, the spicy chicken sandwich meal. I put my chicken filet in the microwave to heat it up a bit as it had cooled off on the ride home. When I took it out of the microwave I noticed something shiny on the end of the meat. I thought that maybe I heated it in a bit too much and the oil was just heavy. Upon closer examination I discovered that there was a piece of plastic cooked in between the crusting and the filet. I pulled it out and it was in there quite a bit. This was extremely disappointing and absolutely unacceptable!!! Please examine your products before serving to customers. read more

shame on you chick-fil-a! the location on killian road wouldn't give us a pup cup for our dog. they said we don't do that here. every other chick-fil- a i have ever been to offers pup cups without me having to ask for one!!!!! read more

It's a new one so it has the new setup for the kids, which is great because it involves the smaller toddlers more. I'm vegetarian so their food for me is fruit cup, waffle fries, and the superfood salad. But all of that listed is good, and they have organic juice for the little. As all chik fil a's I've experienced, the high chairs have wheels so you can put your little in it while you wait, lots of sanitizing wipes, an in door play place, and a plastic place mat your kiddo can go crazy on and still have easy clean up. Lost a star because they're still meat based so I just can't. But its a great place to go enjoy a Diet Coke and let the kids' energy out a bit when its raining, cold or too hot outside and you don't want to drive to Columbiana's little play place. Also, I've heard a rumor kids get free ice cream. Never tested it though. read more
