Located inside the Fashion Island food court, this is a place I've been coming to for a REALLY long time. This is actually my first time writing a review, though... haha. Over the years, while so many of the restaurants in the food court have come and gone and been replaced several times, Panda Express and Chick-fil-A have never changed. I've been coming here for years--for ice cream, sandwiches, and everything in between. I've been a regular here since before my kids were even born! As for the food... what can I say? Of course it's good. It's always good! You really can't go wrong with Chick-fil-A. But this time, I noticed something that really stood out to me. For the first time, I saw a Chick-fil-A manager walking around the food court, checking on people who were eating their sandwiches and asking if they needed anything else or if they wanted a drink. It was such a small gesture, but I really appreciated it. That's actually what made me want to finally write a review and give them five stars. After all these years, it's nice to see that the friendly service is still there! read more

Chick-fil-A - Inside - Fast Food Near Me - Newport Beach, California

The staff at this location were very rude and arrogant. The fries I received were clearly overcooked and tasted burnt. I asked if they could make me a fresh order, but the employee didn't seem to know how to handle the situation and simply told me I could throw them in the trash. I've been to many Chick-fil-A locations, and unfortunately, this was by far one of the worst experiences I've had. The food quality and customer service were both very disappointing. I would not recommend this location. read more

The chicken here was honestly really good. Super flavorful, juicy, and cooked just right. You can tell they put effort into the quality of the food because it definitely delivered on taste. That said, the experience wasn't perfect. The wait time was pretty long, especially for a simple order, and when the food finally came out, they had messed up part of it. It took a bit to get it corrected, which was frustrating. Overall, the chicken itself is worth trying, but the service and timing could use some improvement. read more

Chick-fil-A - Food court - Fast Food Near Me - Newport Beach, California

My first Chick-fil-A--and my last. Wait time: 20+ minutes in a dead zone. Cashier was fine, the rest of the staff? Lukewarm at best, with eye rolls over handing me sauce. Gen Z energy, apparently. Nuggets: popcorn-sized, soggy, and saltier than the Atlantic. No thanks. Spicy Chicken Sandwich: stale bread, oversalted meat, a sad half-slice of tomato mashed with pickled gherkin, two shriveled lettuce bits, all drowned in a sickly sweet, gluey sauce. Maybe another location would be better--but here, it feels like they've been sitting on their laurels so long the quality decayed. Not coming back. read more

Thanks to my 11-year-old daughter, Angelina, I had my very first Chick-fil-A experience at Fashion Island. Angelina confidently ordered her own meal, and Shane made our visit truly special. When he learned it was our first time, he came over to warmly welcome us, explained the free drink refills, and made sure we had everything we needed. His genuine smile, kindness, and attention to detail left a wonderful impression. Great food brought us in, but Shane's warm smile and hospitality are what will bring us back. Thank you, Shane, for making our first Chick-fil-A visit at Fashion Island such a positive experience! read more

I wish I could give better than a 5 star review... Craig (who I think is the manager) was displaying top tier customer service to not just us but whoever was around the food court. Very personable and friendly with everyone. He made rounds to see how everyone was doing. You can tell he has amazing relationships with his competition as he was laughing and spending some time with all of them while still maintaining his responsibility manning his front counter. He was great! Thanks Craig read more

I just had the most divine service with a young beautiful, intelligent, gracious you woman name Haley. It was of the utmost demure service i've ever received at a fast food place. She had the most empathetic eyes that even though I was having a tough day saw the light at the end of the tunnel. She deserves a promotion and raise as soon as possible. She was most definitely a pleasure to speak with ;) read more

Always a fast and quick experience Staff is very aware of both pick up and order lines. Food court can be a little loud but nothing too crazy, The surrounding restaurant selections definitely compensate for it! read more

Will definitely be returning to this location. The woman working the register, Haley, was absolutely amazing. She was extremely helpful and kind and made the entire experience very pleasurable. She even gave me a suggestion on which caffeinated beverage to try !! read more

The food was actually disgusting and really uncharacteristic for a Chick-fil-A. My friend and I got food poisoning. Everything seemed kind of dirty and there were even brown stains on the rims of our drinks. I would not recommend. Go to any other Chick-fil-A but this one. read more

i enjoyed this chick-fil-a food court spot on the morning before a shopping day. honestly, it was pretty standard chick-fil-a that met my expectations. the chicken was warm, crunchy, and flavorful, and the staff was really kind. i got my food in less than five minutes, which made for a very smooth experience. it was breakfast time, and i was excited to dig into my breakfast biscuit. overall, a solid meal and a great start to the day. read more

Chick-fil-A - Chick-fil-A Nuggets - Fast Food Near Me - Newport Beach, California

This Chick-Fil-A location is so disgusting that I had to leave a review, and I NEVER leave reviews. If I could, I would give a 0. My friend and I were very famished on this lovely Saturday afternoon, so we decided to order some Chick-Fil-A. Everything seemed fine until I started feeling sick a while later. I started to show signs of food poisoning: nausea, headache, and fatigue. I thought this was just me, but it turns out my friend was feeling the same as well. We both hadn't eaten anything else all day so we knew it was the Chick-Fil-A. Then, we come to find out that this place has even been closed down for rodent infestation. Absolutely appalling. Afterwards, we took a closer look at our red drinks and both found BROWN stains in our cup.... Ummm WTF.???? What a sickening discovery I learned my lesson--I am never coming back to this Chick-Fil-A location ever again. This location is such a fucking disgusting nightmare. Do not recommend read more

Shane delivered amazing customer service. Funny, friendly, and welcoming. Made the experience very great. Food was done super fast, and all tasted excellent. Environment was clean, store looked clean! But like I said, shane was phenomenal. read more

Got the Best Service from Aiden!!! He was super courteous taking my order. Later he walked around the tables passing out a few mints & asked if we wanted a refill on our unsweetened tea. He took my empty cup & came back with refill. Wow! Never had such an amazing service! Thank You Mgmt for having such an awesome employee on your staff. We'll be back for more foods! read more

Picked up a spicy chicken sandwich and medium waffle fries at this place right when they opened using their mobile app. Convenient and fast. Got my order right too! read more

The customer service at this location goes above and beyond. I love how the team members come to your table at the food court and ask if you need any refills, sauces or anything you need. The manager (tall fellow with blonde hair) is doing a fantastic job - very detail oriented and shows the utmost professionalism. A few weeks ago, a team member asked my son if he'd like a free ice cream, since they made one too many on another order. That's awesome! I really enjoy going this this location. read more

I came in for a quick bite before attending a Yelp event on the other side of the food court. I had the chicken biscuit combo and an ice tea. The biscuit was decent sice, warm and delicious. It tasted like it was freshly made. The chicken was yummy like all their chicken products. The hash browns were just decent. I was really impressed that being in a food court someone came to me and asked if I needed any more dipping sauces or a refill on my tea. That's excellent customer service. read more

Went out to Fashion Island on beautiful Saturday afternoon and walked around and caught some really nice views. The food court here obviously has a ton of really good options to eat at with dessert, drinks and good food but the best part about this location is being able to come sit out and get a view while you're enjoying a delicious chicken sandwich. The chicken sandwich was amazing as always and the service here was really good. Very friendly folks and most of them were younger and very friendly. Well done Chick-fil-A read more

I commend this location for managing its queue well. Lots of people in line on the weekend, but they do a good job trying to keep things moving. Same quality and taste as other locations, so thumbs up there. I guess one of the things that would be better if it were clear: the situation on refills? I paid for an iced tea (where the ice was piled to the brim of the cup), so needless to say, got probably six sips of actual tea. Wasn't sure if I could get a refill like a normal location... and didn't want to battle the herd of people waiting for food... so feel a bit ripped off in that sense? 2022: 105/100 read more

Always good and quick. The nuggets are probably the highlight here because the dipping sauces are so good. Chicken sandwich good also. Love the lemonades too. read more

Located in the Atrium food court at Fashion Island, it's convenient if you're shopping here or work nearby but otherwise you have to deal with the hassle of parking and walking down to the lower level which makes it a somewhat slower version of "fast food". The menu seems to be slightly smaller than most Chick-fil-A locations. I couldn't tell you exactly what was missing but the menu definitely looked like it had less items listed. Even at the height of lunch hour, the line moved quickly. They are very efficient and the tiny, smiling supervisor was really busting her butt to keep everyone and everything moving. I ordered a meal combo: Chick-fil-A sandwich with waffle fries and upgraded to a cookies & cream milkshake. They asked which sauce I wanted (Chick-fil-A sauce for me, please) and gave me two of the little containers. I sat in the food court area and within a couple minutes a worker, using their ultra-super-special-chick-fil-a-location technology, delivered my food to my table. As I've come to expect from Chick-fil-A, the food was really good. Crisp coating on the chicken and tender & juicy inside. Great fries especially when dipped in the sauce. And the milkshake is as good as it gets in the fast food world. Good food stop if you're slumming it at Fashion Island. read more

I DoorDashed chick fille last night, is it me or is the quality of their food going down? I usually like the food but the spicy chicken sandwich had a weird texture it tasted really old started out tasting like it normally would but then kind of sweaty and citrusy like I someone didn't wear deodorant for a couple of days I had to finish it, because someone ordered it for me and I dreaded every bite a what's up with their waffle fries,old tasting too. Are they trying to go out of business? Because nowadays everybody has a liberal state of mind, because of that you wouldn't want to go out of your way to make everyone's food taste horrible. read more

ORDERING ONLINE will take over 20 minutes! First time I did it I thought there was a delay in the system. Then every time I would come the staff would say the same thing . ".your order just showed up online". I don't usually come here during rush hour so not sure what the delay is. Anyway . Don't place your order online and expect your order to be ready when you come. read more

DONT COME HERE!!!! KEEP DRIVING!!! Worst chick-Fil-A experience of my life. When my friend and I walked up the employees started laughing at us like we were being judged. We proceeded to order & all the employees were very rude. We were hoping our food experience would be better....Nope. I asked for no tomato's and my sandwich was purposely covered in EXTRA tomatoes and THEY PUT A CHICKEN TENDER on my sandwich Instead of the deluxe sandwich patty I paid for. I'm honestly SO shocked still!!! I went to complain and all the staff started laughing like THEY DID IT ON PURPOSE! So catty!!! Like this chick-fil-a needs new employees because they don't value their customers. Then...our cookies were hard as rock, you could throw it at a wall and it wouldn't break. Which leads me to believe they purposely gave us bad ones since they had no problem creating a chicken sandwich for me made out of a chicken tender. We asked to speak to the manager and Rose said she was. Even though she was laughing at us along with the other employees which is terrible because what kind of management is DISRESPECTFUL to customers?!??? My friend had to raise her voice at her because we were so fed up with being treated so badly!!! They refunded us after a fuss but it shouldn't even have to come to that. We'll never be returning. Same goes with all our friends and followers whom we shared the stories of our experience with on IG. read more

Chick-fil-A - Chicken tender Chicken Sandwich? Didn't know that was a thing....rudest workers - Fast Food Near Me - Newport Beach, California

I've tried Chick-fil-A only once before, and wasn't overly impressed, but I happened to be nearby and decided to give this new location a shot. Obviously people enjoy it, so I was thinking that maybe I just didn't order something that I liked the first time. I ordered a 12 piece chicken nugget meal, which seemed safe. My only other visit to a different Chick-fil-A involved the order of an unimpressive chicken sandwich, so I decided to go different this time. When I was finishing the order I was asked what sauces I wanted. I decided on two, and she handed me two. I asked if I could have two of each, as this was a 12 piece meal and I didn't want to run out of sauce...and the lady accommodated me. When I got the take out bag, it felt very light so I checked to see what was inside. The box inside was rather small. I decided to change my take out to a sit down situation and opened the box. Oh lord. The smallest nuggets were a half inch in diameter, the largest maybe one inch, but the majority fell somewhere in the middle. The skimpiness of this 12 piece "meal" was pathetic, and I left hungry. Not a good experience, yet again, especially for $6 plus. Turns out I didn't need four dipping sauces after all. Two would have sufficed. There was nothing more to dip after those 12 tiny pieces. I'm done. I'm no longer curious about why people dine at Chick-not-filled-A. read more

Chick-fil-A - Quite a $6 meal. Looks like the scraps that fell off the main meals in the deep fryer. - Fast Food Near Me - Newport Beach, California

Do not go to this Chic-Fil-A because one time I wanted a refill on my drink I called 2 workers and they just ignored me. It was on purpose

I totally love the milkshakes. They're delicious and the cherry on top was the cherry on top. It was whip cream, peanut butter. I like to climb trees. The burgers are pretty good. I love the burgers and like Chick-fil-A sauce yeah it was just very yeah I was very good. Loved it will come back Robert. Your nuggets are delicious. Yeah they're very good.g 12 piece double piece or piece or eyeball Chick-fil-A pizza or 1260s Chick-fil-A piece have it your way cause that Chick-fil-A? read more

i think chick fil a deserves nothing less than 4 stars so i'm giving it a 5 to try and balance out the 3 it currently has chick fil a is solid, and in my opinion, the best, non committal snack/meal in the food court. it's what you get when you aren't really that hungry but you know you should eat something + you won't feel terrible afterwards i am very grateful for this one here! thanks for all the great sandwhiches read more

They got my order wrong but that's ok. The service here was really fast and the employees are really nice. There was a kind girl who was walking around the food court and asked my friend and I if we needed more sauce or anything else, which was extremely sweet of her! I never knew they did that. read more

Caleb gave me the best customer service and gave me every response with a smile. This is my favorite chic-fil-a by far in SoCal, and the food is amazing no matter where you go! read more

I work at the mall, and most of the time I'm too lazy to pack a lunch, so I head over to the Atrium food court. Many years ago, I had Chick-fil-A for the first time and didn't like it because their chicken sandwiches come plain with a couple slices of pickles (and I used to hate pickles). However, since my coworkers always rave about it and one of them practically eats there every day, I was curious and decided to give the restaurant another shot. I ordered the chicken strips kids meal which came with two chicken strips, a small order of waffles fries, a small drink, and toy (which I threw away). The food was delicious! The chicken was crispy (but not overly battered), hot, tender, and juicy! Their waffle fries are also perfectly crispy, but soft inside. They have a variety of sauces, and this time I got buttermilk ranch, which was good. They also have those cool ketchup packets that can be opened for dipping, or squeezed out of the top. Since then, I have been back about three times and tried other things from their varied menu. The chicken nuggets are just as good as the strips, and I definitely recommend you get the Chick-fil-A dipping sauce! It's the perfect sweet blend of barbecue and mustard. Their soft serve cones are also great and the perfect consistency (creamy, and not too icy). Their side salads are also pretty fancy for a fast food chain. It's just the right sized bowl, and comes with fresh, green romaine (not brown or orange like at other places), cheese, purple cabbage, cherry tomatoes, broccoli, and a packet of croutons and sunflower seeds! All of that for under $3! I chose the ranch to go with it, and it was the perfect lunch for when I'm not in the mood for something as heavy as the chicken. Overall, this is a great place as the food always lives up to my expectations, the service is fast and friendly, and the location is convenient. The manager is also really friendly, and always has a smile on his face as he works along side the other workers. When I ordered my ice cream cone, there were two people in line before me, and he apologized for the wait and gave me the ice cream for free! I will definitely be back! read more

Let me just say I was so excited trying this place for the first time ever! And it didn't disappoint. Quick note; The place itself is located inside the food court and not outside. We ordered our food and it was out within 5 minutes! The sandwich was so good and although it seems pretty basic looking, the chicken was cooked deliciously. The waffle fries were good (not the best ever but 8/10). The chicken nuggets are better than most places and have that little crunch to them. Their signature sauce was also one of my favorites! Overall, fast and great service. I loved it! read more

I was able to try their new grilled chicken sandwich! Yummy! Now I don't have to feel bloated or as guilty when I eat their fried chicken sandwich! Their fries are kind of soggy, so it could use a bit more crisp. From their many sauces to choose from, I'm still a fan of the old-fashioned ketchup. It is a rush at lunch and one time they forgot about my oreo milkshake and I was on lunch break... but the manager offered me a free chicken sandwich for next time. Thank you for making up for it! read more

Alright so I wanted to go to Whole Foods for their Guacamole Dip since Metta said it was the best and I saw the Chick-Fil-A sign for the food court and decided to try it. The food court was like entering a different planet, really nice everything just like the rest of Newport. The one thing was that it was really empty at all the other food spots, (Taco Bell, Japanese, Panda Express, Subway, and a few other mall staples) there were a few people at Five Guys but when we saw Chick-Fil-A the line was probably 15 people deep. So it must be good right? Right. The spicy deluxe chicken sandwich meal was around $7.50 and came with an amazing lemonade that I had to get refilled, but luckily it was free, I highly recommend it on a hot day. The chicken was juicy and crunchy all around and had a nice kick to it as well as a nice crunch from the lettuce and about 3 nice slices of tomatoes which were very good quality. I had some of the Chick fil A sauce with it which tasted like honey mustard but with some twist to it that I couldn't put my tongue on, but very very good nonetheless. Very much recommend coming here if you're at fashion island and not trying to eat at one of the more expensive areas. Of course if you're not from around here, there's much better places to go than here. Roy's is whats up. read more

Good food, quick service and in a prime location. Had a spicy chicken sandwich and it was good as usual. One of my favorite fast food options since I don't normally eat fast food. Located in a food court and they WILL come bring you your food if you decide to sit in the food court. Line moved quickly and cashiers were friendly. They even were able to take my order while I was in line so that I could pay immediately as soon as I got to the register. Not a bad system if you ask me.

One of the only times I have ever had a decent experience at a chick filet was when I went to this location and met the sweetest employee, I believe her name is Ariel. Such a unique individual in a wash of boring worker bees. Very interesting conversation. The food was not good but at least the service was good. There was another worker there that was very snappy and I wasn't a fan, Gisele or something. She needs a chill pill. Prob won't be back. read more
