This location has become my go-to CFA in the Hoover area. In large part bc it's the only one with a playground but also because I have experienced increasingly better service over the course of the past 6 months. Food is consistently well prepared, orders consistently accurate and the CFA team members are always courteous and helpful! I've included a snapshot of some of my experiences below. (Jan 2026) Visited twice today (around 11 am & 3:15 pm) and received excellent service both time via the Mobile Thru Lane. Wait time at lunch was longer than usual but not unreasonable give the time of day and length of the line. I was asked to pull around to park & wait for my order. (Feb 2026) Slooooooow service. Don't visit around lunch time or in inclement weather. Wait times are outrageously long. Don't order a 10-piece strip family meal unless you have time to wait. Everytime I've ordered it I have been asked to park in the mobile thru spot & have waited atleast 15 mins. (03.11.26) Error when processing mobile thru order via the Web (recently uninstalled the CFA app). Called to speak to a manager. Automated prompt system moved quickly & I was able to speak to a manager (Mark) within a minute of calling. He confirmed my request and was pleasant to speak to. (04.03.26) Long line of cars pulled in all at the same time. Half went to mobile thru. Me and the others were serviced quickly in the drive thru. Erika was friendly and efficient at taking my order. (06.29.26) Dined-in for breakfast. Packed out at 8:30 am. By 8:45 the dining area was empty. (06.30.26) Dined-in for a late night snack with my three children around 8:30 pm. We had the entire restaurant to ourselves & service was wonderful! read more

This is the worst Chick Fila in the area. They consistently get our order wrong. And employees do nothing to help. Was told I could only order one chicken sandwich and then learned that was not true. Terrible customer service. Will be driving to another restaurant if we get Chick Fila. read more

They discriminate against old people who can not navigate their app and force you to go into the longest line. Order is wrong half of the time. Worst chick fil a. I have ever been too! You not get out of non app line once in it. Just terrible! read more

Picked up a Kale salad which I absolutely love. I added my fav toppings which was grilled chicken, buffalo sauce and almond slices( I also add cherry tomatoes every now and again) . This location was not busy as normal which was good for me to get in and out. The establishment is pretty popular and can be busy at times but they make up for it in customer service read more

Chick-fil-A's food is mostly the same everywhere. So WHY am I taking time to review this location?!! Because of the DRIVE THRU EXPERIENCE! This team KNOWS how to move cars through their drive thru quickly! They are fast and usually accurate, which is a big deal when picking up food and driving off--you don't want to discover a mile down the road that they gave you a drink you can't stand or forgot the napkins! Another HUGE plus in our family is the Pup Cup that good dogs get when they mind their manners. Nash absolutely loves it! And seeing his tail wag makes me smile. read more

I wish I could cuss like a sailor in this cause gah almighty I would unload. I genuinely HATE going to this place now. It's not only slow as molasses nor but mobile drive thru thinking it's faster? LMFAO!!!!! You will see 10 people who got there AFTER you did, sitting at the intersection already got their food. Where are you? STILL IN THE SAME SPOT! Patton creek location?? 10/10 better than this place, especially now they have SEPARATE lines all the way through and they actually get you in and out of there and don't have you waiting for 30 f'n minutes to only still be 5 cars back from the window. Your food?? COLD from sitting in the window. Seriously pull your head out of your a**!! read more

Alright, enough is enough. Love chick fil a but this fries situation is out of control. 5 of the last 6 times I've been there they fill the box up 1/2-3/4 of the way to the top. This has to be fixed. Why pay for a large fry if it's gonna be a medium. Why pay for a medium fry if it's going to be 5 fries. Let's get it together crew. read more

Chick-fil-A - Fast Food Near Me - Hoover, Alabama

Out of all the fast-food restaurants, Chick-fil-A has continually been my favorite. Per my last visit, I ordered the spicy southwest salad and I substituted the grilled chicken for the fried chicken. This salad has easily become one of my favorites, as it is a very satiating menu option while still semi-healthy. The only unfortunate downside to my order is that the salads are a bit more expensive than all other menu items. My total for the salad alone was about $10. I chose to dine in with some friends. We went for dinner on Saturday night, so the inside was a bit busy with families of younger kids. Despite the crowd, the inside was clean and the workers were very helpful. Speaking for all Chick-fil-A restaurants, the only criticism I have to contribute is that they could benefit from creating a larger parking area. The Chick-fil-A drive-thu almost always makes it difficult for others to find parking, as the lot is quite busy. read more

For anyone that places a special order and uses the drive through to kick it up.... We ordered while in line. 17 minutes wait before we told the lady we had an online order.. 3 minutes later we get to the window.... They make us pull forward.... Another minute later... she brings a drink and says pull around front.... After another 5 minutes a guy brings it out and says sorry for the wait..... We then left and went home, only to find out that the special request did not happen... I stead of well done bacon.... I get half well done... floppy fatty bacon..... Apparently they ether have new management or a cook... Either way this is in excusable..... read more

Chick-fil-A - Delivery through these companies. - Fast Food Near Me - Hoover, Alabama

This Chick Fil A has ZERO quality control. How is it they always seem to mess up my order? I go inside to check and make sure I have all items. I guess I need to open every damn item and check it before leaving. Honestly, the only reason I am back here is Galleria store is being remodeled. Probably over 100 visits there even though farther from my house and NEVER an incorrect order. Here is is at least 40% of the time, they leave out an item or mess it up. read more

I don't normally review a national fast-food chain restaurant. But I was so impressed with the drive-thru service today that I wanted to share my experience. The two lane drive-thru is very well thought out. One lane is for traditional drive-thru orders and one for mobile orders. The workers use handheld electronic devices to take orders and process payments. The workers even walk down the queue to get the next order instead of waiting for the car to come to them. The young men and ladies working were so polite and well-spoken. Although this should be the norm, it is refreshing because it is so rare. Great job by this franchisee in hiring, training, and reinforcing these skills. Every drive-thru should be this efficient. Great job Chick-Fil-a. read more

Ok so I hate hate hate to do this but I am boycotting the Grove CFA location. They can't get it together. This week I went in twice for breakfast. Thursday and today. It was a test and they failed. I ordered my normal hash brown chicken breakfast burrito. On the menu - nothing special. Each time I placed the order in the mobile app 5-10 mins before I got there. Upon arrival - I see many people standing around and a few people actually getting orders together. I wait and I wait and I wait in the pickup area. Both times I have had to ask the person at the counter when my food would be ready. After 10 minutes and a hundred other people's orders being given to them - I asked for the manager. I was told that burritos are made to order - I said I know but I have been waiting for over 10 mins and I placed the order via the app 10 mins before that so it should be ready. I stated this is a continuous issue when I order from this location and order this item. I referenced Thursday and my discussion with the people that day. If you can't get a burrito out in the same time as you get a biscuit out then maybe you should assess your menu items. Also having the young child standing on the wall tell me that she can't help me because there is no way to really say when my order will be ready is infuriating- retraining is in order as well. I love CFA but will never go back to this location. I will await the Galleria location reopening and temporarily visit the Hoover commons location. Both of these locations seem to operate better. read more

Just spent 20 minutes in the drive thru line at this location. Inadequate signage, lack of communication, and being ignored by the pick up window is more than enough to convince me to drive across the street to McDonalds. read more

Just went there today been waiting in the drive they for an half an hour by the time I gotten to the window my food was not ready and the cooks need to hustle up the line is backed up to the street. Other than that the service needs to pickup. The ladies outside doing all they can and I luv chick fila great Family Place to go to dine inn. Other than that NOT All my food was there it seems someone in the kitchen gotten very Hungry and won't be back here for a while just might go to another location near by due to this. I just gotten home opened the bag and this is what I get for waiting an half an hour. I did not get my whole order. The service needs to pickup and it needs work badly. Also, would like to see The spicy Chicken Biscuits Return to the chick fila Menu, I didn't like the fact it was taken off the menu one of the best you had. Some people like reg and there are those who like the spicy. It's crazy how when a business sale something and it's a HOT item for some reason these big company's or Food Chains (Businesses) stop selling it. read more

Chick-fil-A - Chicken biscuit meal with pepper jack cheese and another biscuit with tomato and too hash browns - Fast Food Near Me - Hoover, Alabama

I haven't went to any Chick-fil-A that didn't deserve a 5 star rating. The business model of Chick-fil-A is set throughout all the franchises that I have visited. All the employees I encountered serve with a pleasant attitude and the close of my order is always concluded with a believable "my pleasure". No one does drive-they service like Chick-fil-A! Seriously, these other chain restaurants should take notes. I very rarely go inside this location. Even if the drive-thru line is long, I know Chick-fil-A will manage it well so I'll be through the line in under 15 minutes on most days. The food and lemonade are great. I think the chicken is seasoned with just a tad bit of heaven because it's really good. When I get a salad, I get the Avocado Ranch dressing and it just takes the salad to another level. I'm so serious. Chick-fil-A is some of the best fast food you can get. Of course I'll be back! read more

Chick-fil-A at the Grove is always the best! I use the mobile app and walk in, my order is made fresh and I get to skip the lines. My go to is the Cob Salad with cold sliced chicken breast. Salad is always fresh, even right before closing. Customer service is top notch! Always my place to stop when headed to work!! read more

I stopped by this Chick Fil A location on a road trip up to TN, we chose this location due to them being so conveniently located off of the freeway, their close proximity to Sprouts, and they have a playground. The parking lot here was so easy to use and there was ample parking. We walked in and sent the kids into the playground and sat down. I think this confused some of the employees, because one questioned if we were ordering anything. We did, just throught the mobile ordering app. This location feels nicer than your typical Chick-Fil-A it's a little shabby chic, they even had cornhole set up outside. I would definitely come here again if passing through! read more

Today at 2:12 pm I ordered a chargrill chicken sandwich with fries. My fries were fried really hard and the meat was so tough I couldn't bite through the sandwich. Like a overcooked steak. I was unable to eat it and had to go purchase food somewhere else. I have visit this location before but have never had a problem but today was just the worst Chick-fil-A experience ever. I hate writing this but it needs to be known since I was unable to go back to the Restaurant being pressed for time. My rating reflects my experience today. read more

This is the slowest CFA ever! Not once have I had my order filled quickl! I always order with the app! Always have to wait and wait and wait. - Started with 'mobile thru' that was horrible! - Started using curbside, not much faster than 'mobile thur' and they stopped that! - Started using 'inside pick up,' I tried selecting 'im already in the restaurant' a little early to get my order working a few minutes early, not better! They turned 'inside pick up' off today. The food is fine! Exactly what I expect from a CFA! But, this is such a slow process every time! It is completely out of the way to go to another CFA and adds MORE then 10 minutes to morning trip! Damn, what is the point of the Mobile Order! Do better! read more

Update: the original review I posted was for the Chick-fil-A Patton creek location. I updated this review to reflect their current average rating. About 4.5 stars. read more

Worst service at a chik-fil-a I have ever had. Waited at speaker for 7 minutes as the "express mobile" line let many cars through... Ordered a number 5, persons kept repeating the order wrong. After a long wait to get to the window. I asked them to repeat the order again and they had it completely wrong again. Finally got it placed and then after taking the money, they wanted me to pull around to the parking lot and wait even more! She said they were out of egg and had to make more. They weee out because so many other cars went around me... Told her I was not waiting any more and to give me my money back. Will not return again... read more

Worst CFA I've ever gone to and unfortunately it's the one closest to the house. I am a fan of the new express feature which is designed for you to scan a code and merge into the line after scanning. This CFA has its employees tapping your window asking for your name as if you're in the regular line. It's a reason people use certain features, in my case I'm usually on a conference call and don't want to be interrupt my call. The manager who also appeared to be the owner began making excuses for why they do it the way they do. My issue is that this is not how CFA designed the express feature. I called corporate and they confirmed this is not how it should be done and apologized. Next visit I decide to use the curbside feature. No straw, no sauce. Had to get out and come inside to get it. Next visit, I try express again, and before I get up there I hear one particular employee saying "here she comes again" and walks off and tells another person to check me in, of which I still get disturbed by the repeat of my order and asking of my name, all to get home to an incorrect sandwich. I give up. Clearly this one just isn't going to get it right and has no plans to either seeing how management supports not doing things the CFA way. read more

I ordered a salad with no tomatoes. But then my salad comes with tomatoes. I ask for 2 packs of ranch but no ranch. Not even a fork to eat the salad with. I don't know what kind of workers you have in that restaurant, but they need to be better. This is just unacceptable. read more

This is the worst Chick-fil-A I have ever been to and there isn't a close second. Unfortunately, as others have pointed out, it's the closest to me. It actually says a lot about Chick-fil-A in general that people tolerate this location just because they love CFA that much, and I am one of those. I can't really put this on the staff because there are a lot of them and they all seem hard at work, it just has to be systems and executions that aren't what you'd expect from a Chick-fil-A. read more

Chick-fil-A is my favorite fast food restaurant. I formerly worked for them as a college student. This location is not only conveniently located for those of us in Bluff Park so that we can avoid the Galleria traffic, but the service and quality is also great! I have ordered from this location at least 5 times now and have consistently gotten great service and quality of food, hence the 5 stars! I most recently used their curbside pickup. I was very impressed! It took less than 60 seconds for them to bring out my food and put it into my hand- hot and fresh, too! I typically ordered grilled and my husband orders fried. We have both loved whatever we have ordered. I would highly recommend this location- whether you are in Hoover or jumping off of 459 heading to Tuscaloosa! read more

Chick fil a has fast food down to a science. Even with ridiculous crowds, they handle things smoothly and efficiently. Although I've never been to a location where the service wasn't friendly and accommodating, I must say this location was a notch above the rest. We dined in. During our experience we were approached multiple times to see if we needed additional sauces or more to drink. Each time with a smile and "my pleasure." The restaurant was a bit more spacious than others I've visited and the decor was inviting. read more

They got my milkshake wrong and instead of fixing it, made us pay for a whole new one. Awful customer service and order accuracy!

Slowest chic-fil-a drive thru I've ever been and it's consistent. I've given it too many chances but 25 minutes in the drive thru is ridiculous. Somebody needs to come train this team. read more

Consistently the slowest CFA I've ever been to. Go ahead plan to take 15+ minutes in the drive thru- even with mobile orders.

Slowest service of any chick fil a. Drive thru is a night mare. Won't be coming back to this location.

Horrible drive thru on 4/3 At 2. I sat in line for 15 minutes and when I got my salad... there was only 1 tomatoe and a pinch of cheese, no condiments at all. Ive gone to this chic fila almost every day. I'm happy to send a picture of this salad. Lettuce I did hanging in the container dead. This was the last straw......I won't come back. Oh, and called to speak to someone 3 times (I didn't want my fav lunch place going to xxxx but they hung up on me 3 times). Best to worst.......really its too bad..,, read more
