I love Chick-fil-A! The restaurant is always clean, the staff is super friendly, and my food came out really quickly. It was busy and I had to wait a little for a table, but that's expected because Chick-fil-A is always popular! My only little suggestion would be the portion size of the chicken strips. I ordered the 3-piece meal, and the strips were pretty small for the price of the meal. I would love to see slightly bigger chicken strips, especially since the meal is around the same price as some of the other full-size meals. Other than that, I'm always happy with Chick-fil-A and will definitely keep coming back! read more

Chick-fil-A - Chicken Chick-fil-A Chick-n-Strips - Fast Food Near Me - San Diego, California

Chick-fil-A is my personal favorite fast food chain, I love they way they do their chicken and I really respect their dedication to their no work hours on Sunday rule. This location is one that I frequent a lot, me and my buddy usually go here after our Monday runs, so I can say with certainty that this is a solid location, we usually eat there, I always get the hot and spicy chicken sandwich meal which is always great. Just a heads up it's a popular spot for drive thru, and you'll usually end up waiting a solid 10 minutes due to the long line they usually have, but the walk in experience is nice and fast, they have good shaded seating outside which is where we usually like sitting. I've only had good friendly interactions with their employees on both the window and main counter, the food is always made in a fast manner after ordering, and the place has always been clean and proper from all the times I've been there, overall as a fast food location, this is very solid, props to all the employees, as someone who has worked in this similar industry before I understand how hectic and frustrating the job can get so props to them for always giving me a good service! read more

The food is good and up to the same standards of other Chick Fil-A locations. The employees were helpful and super helpful as always. There is limited seating inside. This was probably one of the smallest locations I have been to. read more

This location is usually busy, but they've been fairly quick with their service. I usually go through the drive-thru, but today, decided to dine in and grabbed a table outside. Also got a a free brownie, as a "birthday reward." I got my usual, spicy chicken sandwich no pickles meal that comes with the fries. I like their lemonade as well. read more

Oh Chick-Fil-A how I love thee... Spent the week in San Diego for work, and yes, I probably should've gone to get tacos or something (which I did one night), but it was late and I was craving my trusty and favorite Chick-Fil-A dinner. Got my usual order, and went back to my hotel. Everything was still hot, fresh, and perfectly Chick-Fil-A...YUMMY! I will be back in SD in 2 weeks for another work trip, and will for sure be stopping in for dinner again. read more

Received my birthday reward email. Went through the drive thru and ordered the kid's meal chicken nuggets, waffle fries and diet dr pepper with ice cream and my birthday brownie. Everything was good but the chicken is always a little too salty for me. Drive thru service was pleasant. I feel for the YA in the heat with a smile on their faces. The young lady who gave me my order was so sweet and friendly. It was the perfect amount of food with a good dessert. Yum! read more

First timer at this location. The parking lot was packed at lunch time. No big surprise there lol. The drive through line unorganized until someone came out to direct traffic. I was happy to see him come out because many customers just pick a line and sit there without looking at all available lanes. They had three lanes for ordering and then it turns into one for pickup. It didn't take longer than 5 minutes to get my food once ordered. The line was moving. My order came out correct and hot. No complaints on food! Star removed because parking lot and drive through speed before guy came to help. I wish the franchise owners could choose locations with more space and a better planned drive through. read more

CHICK FIL A @ Mission Center One way only to get into this CFA, so be sure to have your maps opened up! Drive through is a long line and can even be as long from the main road, i'd recommend parking and walking in to order. I've always ordered online and scan my table number to dine in. So, I waited for my chicken sandwich for over 10 minutes, after it said that a team member will be giving my food shortly, I watched a staff member walk with a bag (hoping it was mine) he walked EVERYWHERE, I mean inside and outside looking for the table to give the food too. I didn't assume much because it could be someone else's, until he scrambled 3 times to find the table number. After seeing this man walk back and forth, I go up and ask if my food was ready since it had said a couple minutes ago it was. Look and behold, the same guy who had my food gave it to me and said that the table number was 28. I then show him my phone that clearly said the table was 38 and even the receipt on the bag that said 38, he just didn't care enough to read. Anyways I got my food, pretty annoyed that the service here SUCKED, atleast from that worker. I got a spicy chicken sandwich, it was on the soggy side (since the guy literally just held it EVERYWHERE in the store besides to my table), still overall great flavor and I wanted to get out of there. I definitely wished my experience was better. read more

I usually order ahead and drive through. The wait around lunchtime 10-15 minutes. The staff: always professional despite standing outside in CA's heat and humidity. The food: delicious, several sauce choices. I get the spicy chicken Deluxe meal and feel full after. No complaints except the lids. The beverage lids always pop off my medium drink. read more

Worst service ever!! Ordered mac n cheese with my chicken strips, the receipt said fries. I received neither!! Took my receipt and what I received and asked for the manager. After I explained my issue, the "manager" would not give me the mac n cheese w/out charging extra. read more

I believe any CFA that is centered around a business complex or anything in that sort, gives terrible service. This one and the one located in Sorrento valley. Terrible service, in the sense of they both provide REALLY SLOW SERVICE. read more

After December Nights at Balboa Park, my hubby and I stopped for sandwiches and nuggets because Chick-fil-A is OUR FAV! Everyone is so kind and so friendly at Chick-fil-A I get straight up goosebumps. TIS THE SEASON!!!! Anyway no pictures today because ya girl was hungry and excited about the peppermint milkshake. God's divine orchestration. I can't tell you how many memories come up when I indulge in the peppermint milkshake. We ended up finding seats in the corner and everything worked out. We have been to this Chick-fil-A location multiple times and it absolutely does not disappoint. If you are craving Chick-fil-A you know which one to go to. Holla ! read more

When I came to pick up a doordash order. The staff was very rude. I was waiting in the pick up line to grab an order. The food was not even ready, the other customer cut in front of me even though they got their order early. But the staff was literally giving me an attitude when I asked for the name. I don't know why people come here and it's super busy, I waited forever for this doordash order and everyone got their order but then again no one likes to help doordash driver. read more

What a disaster of a store! I don't understand how difficult it can be to train these team members correctly. It takes 5 minutes alone to even add any modifications to the order. After giving so much time we get our food and have zero of the added modifications we already paid for. No bacon, no egg, missing items. Absolutely ridiculous! What an excuse for a store. read more

Food is always hot and fresh, order is typically/always correct, the food is made quickly, and my experience always goes smoothly here!

My niece just came back from a 10 month deployment in the Middle East and the first restaurant she wanted to eat at was Chick-fil-A. They took great care of us. Our food was fantastic and everyone was super friendly. Thank you for a great welcome home for our Navy girl. read more

Absolutely terrible customer service. My husband and I have always adored Chik-fil-A but we will not be returning thanks to the young girl at the end of the drive thru tonight. My husband waited in the line and ordered around $60 worth of items. He had a $100 bill and she wouldn't return change under $40. He tried to use the other cash in his wallet of $15. Her response was, "That's not how it works." She didn't have any compassion or willingness to accommodate him. When she could have easily adjusted the order for 2 sandwiches or whatever food could be under $15. I can understand not taking large bills after a certain time in the evening but she treated him terribly with her tone and condescending behavior. Thanks for dismissing a loyal customer and wasting our time. read more

Hey guys, The Big Gorger here, I did a mobile order today with some points I had saved up! Got the Spicy Deluxe Sandwich as well as a 5 piece nugget. Pulled up into the drive through line and told the worker I had a mobile order. Checked me in and got in line. Very easy process. When I arrived home, I GORGED on the food I had received with buffalo, bbq, honey mustard and the best sauce honey roasted bbq (feel free to debate me on best sauces if you please.) It was so delicious. Happy with the fast pickup and yummy food. Great job Chick-fil-A! Best, The Big Gorger read more

I haven't had Chick-fil-A in a long while and since Friday was National French Fry Day, I thought I'd have some of their waffle fries. After watching Superman at the local theater, i figured it would work to order some dinner from this location. I was originally going to go through the drive-thru, but seeing their weird system of ordering from three separate "lines" that were blocked off from the east side entrance, I decided to go inside and order instead. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich, something I had not had before from this place. It was recently named one of fast food's healthiest items so I figured that would do fine. Then on top of those two items, I figured I would try out the chicken strips too. The sandwich was fine. Adding honey mustard BBQ sauce to it does make it tastier. I just wished the chicken patty was cooked a little bit more. The fries and chicken strips were fine too. read more

This location has gone downhill tremendously. The order takers are painfully slow now--what used to be faster than In-N-Out has somehow become slower than In-N-Out, which says a lot. Sitting in a drive-thru line where a single order takes 10 minutes is ridiculous. On top of that, the traffic flow is a complete mess. Cars are constantly cutting in from the backside because Chick-fil-A refuses to block off the left side of the lane. It's been going on for years and they still haven't fixed it. I waited 25 minutes in line, only to watch someone cut in, get a faster order taker, and leave with their food in under 10 minutes--before me. This is straight up B.S for a company that built its name on efficiency and service. Chick-fil-A needs to step it up because right now, this experience feels like mismanagement, not "fast food." read more

Getting 2 stars for ok chicken tenders but a big ZERO for changing the potato waffle chips to a bland crappy basic chip! What happened? I used to crave these and after recent buy and eating 2 chips I tossed them! Why change these? It seems like you tried to make them as crappy as your waffle fries. Bad move! read more

We did a mobile order and literally received a different person's food. I called the customer service line and they stated that it would take 2 to 3 days to hear back from a manager. I decided to drive to the store to resolve the situation from Hillcrest. Upon arriving and talking to a manager, they offered to give me a be our guest card which is essentially a free sandwich. I then had to ask for additional compensation which I'm more than deserve after my wife not being able to have her sandwich and us not being able to enjoy our breakfast together. The manager then decided to refund a single sandwich instead of the entire meal just to make up for the wrong doing. I would highly recommend against this location and I'm not surprised that the rating is as low as it is. read more

I will preface; I do NOT like fast food. Still, I was not prepared for how bad this would be. The customer service was what I expected for a drive thru. No serious complaints in that respect. But the food is absolutely trash. So gross. No flavor. Who eats this? Actually...I don't want to know. Never ever again. read more

Wish I could give this Chick-fil-A a zero! Do not go here. We got our food through the drive-through. Took us a total of 40 minutes up and back. We got home with our whole meal missing. I called the number on the receipt and it took me 45 minutes for someone to help me! This was two days ago finally somebody called me back and she only refunded me for one order. Did not even offer any anything else. So frustrating do not go here! And if you do check your food.!! read more

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE Cynthia took our order and they forgot 1 sandwich we ordered 4 and a side of nuggets. For context we were dinning in. I let them know that they missed one and the lady came to our table and actually checked inside our bags???? Excuse me. And the manager didn't do anything other than bring us the sandwhich? Like are you kidding me. On a cheap sandwich really I'm not gonna die over it sandwhich. Just such a rude experience. I'm still shocked she actually checked our bags read more

I'm a frequent flyer here, typically hitting the gym to Chick Fil A PEMDAS trick. Regardless I can start a song, place an order via app, and have my food fresh in hands with the tune of "my pleasure" before the bridge of the song begins to play. That's wildly impressive and I think this staff is incredible effective and efficient. Lovely folks read more

Food and service are consistently excellent and I especially like their drive-thru system. One busy night, four employees walked out of the sliding door pick-up area to hand out prepared orders to the four leading vehicles and off we all went at the same time. Smooth and quick operation. It moves the line along efficiently. The only other drive thru I know of with a similar method is Dutch Bros Coffee. Now, if they can have a line solely for mobile order pick-up, that would be awesome. Such a bummer when I end up behind a vehicle placing multiple separate orders in-person. Mobile ordering through the Chick-fil-A app will make your life easier! Easy to customize if you need to. read more

The service here is always super efficient by having 3-4 lanes during prime busy hours. Chick fila definitely have the drive thru service down. I ordered a spicy chicken sandwich and brought it home to turn it into a quick and easy salad ! With the holidays being centered around with so many sweets and carbs, this was definitely refreshing but have nice juicy crunchy touch to the salad. While waiting through the drive-thru, you get to go through a tunnel of Christmas lights which had a nice, cozy vibes to help pass the time. Plenty of seating outside too if you want to dine-in. read more

Do not dine in during the middle of the day. They only have 1 cashier with a long line.

food poisoning, possibly undercooked chicken. screaming on the bathroom floor. gristle.

Food will just sit on the shelf for 20 min while they do every little thing to avoid eye contact to help you. Came in with no orders on the shelf and they only finally called my order cause the shelf was full as well as 3 other peoples orders who were also waiting patiently while being ignored. Whoever was working the pickup from 3pm - 4pm today needs some training or something. read more

If I could give no stars I would. After spending $35 in breakfast food I opened a chocolate milk for my daughter and passed it back to her after a few sips she tells me that something is gross and she has a dime size amount of mold on her finger from inside the chocolate milk. I am disgusted that my kid drank this. I took the milk away after finding it I smelled the milk and it smelled horrible. The date was not expired but something is wrong I called customer support and they told me the store would reach out but I have yet to hear about anything. Next I'm calling the health department. read more

Chick-fil-A - The mold after it coming off my kids finger 1% Chocolate Milk - Fast Food Near Me - San Diego, California

Chick-fil-A is pretty good fast food. They have great options no matter if it's for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. For breakfast I like their Spicy Chicken Biscuit, Chicken Minis, or Bacon Egg and Cheese Biscuit. You can order a la carte or as a meal. The meal comes with hash browns and a drink. If you want a light or healthier option, they also have Fruit Cups or Greek Yogurt Parfait. For lunch and dinner, I like their Market Place Salad with Apple Vinaigrette, nuggets, or their Spicy Chicken Sandwich. The Waffle Fries are a delicious addition too! They are always cooked and seasoned to perfection. They have the standard soda choices, but I usually get their lemonade. It always tastes so refreshing! The food here tastes fresh and high quality, but that is probably one of the reasons it is a bit pricey here compared to other places. The service is good consistently... the employees are polite and friendly. The only knock on this location is the seating and parking is limited. There are probably about 6-8 tables inside and some seating outside. As far as parking, they have designated a good number of parking spaces for pickup customers, and then blocked off a fair portion of the parking lot for drive thru orders. It can get difficult to find seating or parking during peak hours. I'm still a fan of this location and have been frequenting this location since they opened. I had never realized that I never reviewed this location! 4.5 / 5: Food 4.5 / 5: Service 4 / 5: Cleanliness 3 / 5: Parking and Seating 4 / 5: Overall read more

This is my favorite Chick-fil-A store. For Valentine's Day, they have a free bouquet to anyone who orders a heart shaped nuggets from 11-4 pm. Couple weeks ago I got a 3D printed sauce holder. Sometimes I get free sandwiches. The service is always fast and friendly. I took off 1 star because I got home and I was missing 2 large fries, my fault for not checking first. But that rarely happens that I'm missing something. read more

How to order accidentally placed it for sports Arena not knowing. I pull up to Mission Valley. I'm waiting in the drive-through lane to check in. They only can find my order. I didn't know he could help me just quickly helped me to adjust my order to the Mission Center store instead of driving all over the world to Sport Arena like a clown with no life at all to pickup my order.
