Decided to grab a snack at Chick-fil-A before my flight and the line slowly started to build up with only one cashier. Despite already packing the orders together, Andrew was super amazing and hopped onto the register to help speed through the line. He was also super nice and instead of calling out names for us to pick-up our order at the counter, he actually remembered our names and hand-delivered it to us. 10/10 service. Never thought I would review a place at the airport but had to based on Andrew's great customer service :-) Thanks Andrew! read more

I just spent $17 on a dozen nuggets a and a "sunjoy" (aka an Arnold Palmer or a 50/50). No fries, so it was a pricey snack. I requested a refill and they refused saying that they do not refill lemonade containing drinks. I've been to MANY Chick Fil A's and I've NEVER been turned down a refill for a sunjoy. It's my pleasure to tell you about this nonsense. read more

I've never gotten the hype behind Chick-fil-A, but I still try it occasionally to see if that changes. I got breakfast, the chicken minis and hashbrowns, before taking an early morning flight out, and I still don't get it. The service here was very friendly, I feel like Chick-fil-A's can often feel cult-like with the whole my pleasure thing, but the employees here seemed genuinely nice and cheery, especially so early in the morning. The food was done very quickly, much quicker than the wait in line was. It seemed like the hashbrowns weren't the freshest as they weren't super crispy and had a little sogginess to them. The chicken minis were also fairly dry, so sauces are a must. read more

Easily the best fast food restaurant at SJC, though the line can get huge so there is still a wait but they pump out the orders quickly. The quality is what you would expect from any Chick-fil-A. The staff work hard and are extremely friendly. Short and simple menu making it easy to choose. read more

The good: This is the best value for your money at the airport. Other spots in this terminal are usually way more expensive and way less satisfying. I paid $5-6 for a breakfast biscuit sandwich (one spicy and one regular). My food was ready immediately after I paid. I didn't have to wait at all despite there being a long line for ordering. I got the hash brown nuggets too and my kids enjoyed that. I liked the nugget format because it was easier to feed to my toddlers. The bad: The sandwich was kind of soggy. The cashier didn't understand the order well. The spicy sandwich could have been a bit spicer. The interesting: Their menu is very limited for breakfast. It's basically just two items (biscuit sandwich and hash browns) plus drinks. read more

I travel quite a bit. I am in airports a lot and have eaten at many different types of places in an airport. I can honestly say that hands-down this is the nicest Chick-fil-A I have been to at an airport. In fact I would go as far as to say this is the nicest fast food like restaurant I have been to in an airport. The people who took my order were incredibly friendly and actually smiled at me. That is pretty rare these days. It was also incredibly clean and organized. Another surprising fact for an airport fast food restaurant read more

Most popular airport fast food venue with a long line and expected quality food. Service is fast and fun. Wait to order and wait for your food, unless you get drinks only. I got a very good strawberry milkshake in and out within 3 minutes. Better than any other places. read more

We were thrilled when Chick-fil-A was added to the SJ airport terminal years ago! "Quality" fast food for an affordable price.. well, compared to anything else you'll find at the airport. However our recent visit we felt that the quality has gotten worse. We got our usual go-to order- waffle fries and nuggets! Just enough to hold us over but after our meal we did not feel well.. instant stomach aches and a headache maybe due to using old oil? Idk but we didn't eat for the rest of the night.. Unfortunate meal, but I will say that the service staff at here are the nicest in the whole terminal! They are cheery, have fun talking to their customers and at least look like theyre happy to help! Andrew is the best and is super friendly! As one of the popular restaurants in the terminal, the line is always long! So there isn't much seating close by! read more

Bf got us chick fil a before our flight and he said they were very quick and the chicken was pretty juicy. The sandwich looked pretty well put together and the nuggets crispy and warm. I like that this would be a good breakfast option in the mornings as well! read more

I had never ordered from the breakfast menu at Chick-fil-A before (which ends at 10:30am), so I was excited to try the chick-fil-a biscuit sandwich on a Friday morning before my flight, as this eatery was right next to my gate in Terminal B. The line of customers was short around 9:30am. The service was fine, slight unnecessary waits, especially since these sandwiches were premade in the warmer so it probably could have been served instantly. But they got my order out to me in just a few minutes, can't really complain. The sandwich was delicious and tasted freshly made (even though it had been premade), the biscuit so fluffy and buttery, the chicken with good flavor consistent with the brand, it was a very satisfying meal to start my day. read more

Always a must when at the airport. Fast friendly service. Food was hot,fresh and Delicious. Appreciate the crew at this location.

Probably the safest SJC meal you can get. I ordered: -biscuit chicken meal $9.19 with hashbrowns, lemonade was $0.80 surcharge Overall, food was ok. It is grab and go for the food, so a lot of food is just sitting there so staff can churn through the line faster, but definitely takes a hit on the quality. Drinks take longer for the staff to put together. Even though there might be a long line, I don't think it would take longer than 10-15 min even if they are super busy. read more

They forgot my grilled nuggets. I waited 40 min and to make matters worse... it was overly salty and the lady gave ME attitude.

Excellent airport option. Fast and yummy. Andrew was so helpful and kind. The food comes out quickly when you're trying to eat before or after a flight. Andrew made the experience very pleasant. read more

The food was fresh and good, that's the only reason for 2 stars. Why this airport continues to hire people for customer service roles who hate their jobs and hate all humans is beyond me. Only one gentleman behind the counter was genuinely welcoming (I didn't speak with him, just noticed his enthusiasm), the 2 other people I encountered were clearly miserable and not interested in hiding it - one took my order, another handed me my order. To both I said thank you, and they wouldn't even look at me or respond. SO not on par for Chic Fil A's service and extremely disappointing. read more

One of the only restaurants packed in the SJ airport. Lines move fast, all items are cooked fresh so it's worth the 5-10m wait for hot food. They don't penny & nickel you over how many sauces you want either. read more

They need a manager on site. 45 minute wait to order at lunch today. Half the time there is no one taking orders. Because no one taking orders, the cooks in the back are just standing around. I've never seen such a poorly run chick fil a. read more

Decided to grab Chick-fil-A while waiting for my flight. The food itself is what you'd expect . Fresh, hot, and consistent with any other location. The downside is the airport setting: lines move slowly, and during busy times they can be pretty long. Prices are noticeably higher than a regular Chick-fil-A, which makes the meal feel a bit less worth it. Convenient if you're craving it before boarding, but not the best choice if you're short on time or watching your budget. read more

Our flight was delayed an hr. The cashier was so friendly. He was talking to the people ahead of us, giving neighborhood recommendations. He had a great personality, gave me good choices for dipping sauce, and wished us a good night. We didn't tell him about the delay, he just knew because the whole day had been delayed flight customers. This was 11-30-25 around 8:30pm or so. read more

Delicious! Fast! And Hot! Had a 12 piece chicken nugget meal. Awesome juicy crunchy hot chicken pieces! Very tender and juicy! The waffle fries were wonderful too! Crunchy and hot! Service was super fast too! I'll be back the next time I'm at the airport! read more

So glad for the addition of CFA at SJC and it's taken me awhile to finally grab a bite. I feel CFA always has reasonable prices for airport food, but was a bit bummed they only offer chicken options for breakfast. However, I do love their chicken minis and hash browns, and it was the perfect meal before my flight. Time from order to pick up is always fast which is great if you're in a rush. read more

Chick-fil-A - Fast Food Near Me - San Jose, California

Chick-fil-A to the rescue for a pre-board meal. This location is obviously ran by an airport vendor so you lose a bit on the service expectations but the people at this airport terminal hustle for the customers pressed for time. The line was quite long and orders were backlogged especially on a Saturday but well worth the walk and run from Terminal A which is not as updated as the international at Terminal B. Very bright and clean. Make sure you have credit card handy and are ready to order. Ordered a grilled chicken and spicy chicken as a combo for a couple of Californians heading back east. Would definitely come back on next flight thru San Jose Mineta for my chicken sammie needs. read more

Chick-fil-A - Terminal B - Fast Food Near Me - San Jose, California

In this age of terrible airport food -- overpriced, overambitious, disappointing, brand-diluting, etc -- you really have to give five stars to a place like this that does a narrow task and does it very well: Namely serving delicious, satisfying chicken biscuits and hot coffee, and doing it before 6am to boot. 5/5 look no further. read more

Nothing fancy here but it is nice that airport has a Chick-fil-A location. The menu is limited though (and lunch menu only starts after 10:30am). Once you are able to order, food comes out fast (probably because there are only a few different items you could order), but it took over half an hour to take orders from like... 15 people. For a fast food place, it was not really fast at all. So beware if you are scheduled to board soon, find a different place to grab fast food. They had a total of 4 cash registers, but only used two at a time (and only one for a good portion of my wait). They had the staffing to open more registers, but either chose not to or didn't want to. All in all, the food was fine, but many people had to rush to board their flights afterwards because they didn't anticipate a line for fast food would take over 30 minutes. The food isn't cheap either. read more

It's an average airport place. We normally don't eat at CFA due to politics but it was near the gate and quick. Forgot our bottled water, gave us the wrong sandwich (spicy instead of regular), we had to ask for everything like creamer, ketchup, and then they forgot to put it in the bag. Plus: nice people. Will only be back if no other quick options. read more

There aren't too many food options in Terminal B early in the morning, other than Sushi and Chick-fil-A, so the line was pretty long. However, the food still came out good and quickly. I ordered the 4-count Chick-fil-A Chick-n-Minis, a side of yogurt parfait, and an ice-cold brewed vanilla coffee. The total came out to $15.66, which is pretty expensive, but that's to be expected since it's located inside the airport. The staff is friendly and efficient when taking orders. The only downside to this Chick-fil-A is that you can't use your app for rewards read more

Starbucks, Peet's Coffee and Chick-fil-a were the only food places I could see open at San Jose airport at 530am. No line at this restaurant at the San Jose airport next to gate 25 at 505am. Went to gate 20 750 feet away to put down our luggage. Came back here at 5:50am, and line at least 18 customers deep. Took 11 minutes to get to the front of the line, with two cashiers open. Limited menu for breakfast. Ordered 2 $3.89 chicken biscuit sandwiches. All orders to go here, as no sit down dining. Take out order arrived 6 minutes after ordering. Across the aisle, announcement that Peet's coffee only taking credit card orders temporarily, no cash. Wife and I ate the biscuit sandwiches 3 hours later on the plane. Heated buttered biscuit and half inch thick breaded white seasoned salty chicken breast meat never tasted so good! Wife usually doesn't eat at Chick-fil-A due to their funding of anti LGBTQ groups, but made an exception here, as during the pandemic, only first class passengers get a limited prepackaged meal on cross country flights. When you get only 1 light snack on a 6 hour flight to Hawaii you'll eat any cooked meal! read more

Chick-fil-A - Fast Food Near Me - San Jose, California

Of all the airport food places, I'll basically always beeline it to Chick-fil-A :) Airport food is pricey. When I went browsing through the other restaurant menus in the terminal, most range around $13-15 and up for entrees. Chick-fil-A has their various biscuits for under $4 each. While these aren't bigger entrees, you can make it a meal for under $8. So of the breakfast options, this place does fine. Unfortunately I was hoping to snag some lunch food to bring on my flight, but lunch menu doesn't start until 10:30am. So FYI if you're hoping to do the same. But that's alright. Chick-fil-A chicken biscuits for lunch are tasty too. I'm a big fan of their Chick-fil-A sauce and also honey BBQ sauce. The line tends to be long (as with all other airport food lines). It typically takes at least 20 minutes to get through the line to the counter, so keep that in mind if you're hoping to grab and run to catch your flight. It was roughly 20 minutes wait time with the line weaving 4 bends. read more

March 11 2025 6:05pm, stood in line at this location for 4 minutes until someone recognized me. Short lady eating fries and holding conversation with male cashier. Not one single hi, hello, how may I help u, nothing. Very unprofessional coming from chick fil A. By far the absolute worst customer service i experienced ever by chick fil A. Hire happy enthusiastic people who love their job not these old people that milks the clock read more

Andrew's customer service supersedes all the other workers here. Smile, polite, friendly. A smile can go a long way!! Great job Andrew!!

I had a long layover in San Jose and was looking for a quick bite to eat. Stopped by Chick-fil-A and it was anything but quick. This was the most popular spot in the terminal with a line like those nearby boarding a plane. As I had time to kill, I waited and got a crispy chicken sandwich. Staff was harried, but generally pleasant, but clearly happy to just get done with another order. Normal Chick-fil-A experience, including the wait. read more

Due to the flight delay in our flight for Christmas break, we decided to have dinner at the airport instead of waiting till we arrived at our destination. I made the mistake of having the salad, which was supposedly refrigerated, but clearly pre-made with grilled chicken. It did taste fine, and I often get the salads at their regular locations. However, nobody in the long line appeared to be ordering salads. An hour layer my stomach began cramping in increasing severity and 3 hours later after we boarded the plane, the airsick bags sure came in handy by that time, because I filled three of them. Meanwhile my kid was crying with worry and the pilot came to see if I could continue. Very nasty bout of food poisoning. Didnt eat anything else since lunch so I can't really suspect anything else. My kid ate a sandwich and fries and was fine. read more

After the last time the salad was wrong I was afraid to order it again but I did. It was wrong again. I just wanted to get a gluten free market chicken salad. The first one was made correctly with grilled chicken strips, the next just had a bunch of chicken leftovers on top and then the last one had breaded chicken strips. Come on! Breaded!? My husband has bad eyesight and couldn't see through the plastic that it was breaded. So, he was really mad when he got home and saw the salad. I couldn't even eat any of it because of cross contamination. They make gluten free food for people like me that are allergic now they need to educate them. read more

Favorite: Spicy Deluxe Sandwich with pepper jack cheese. Sauces: Chick-fil-A and Polynesian. Their chicken is so juicy and taste amazing. Also I love their waffle fries. I would advise to come early since the drive thru tend to get very crowded. The customer service is great! read more

I didn't listen to my mom in the morning when she said I should eat something for breakfast. In typical airport fashion, I arrived an hour before my flight starving. My first thought was Chick-fil-a hoping it wasn't an arm or a leg for a breakfast sandwich. I was not disappointed. Airport prices are crazy but the breakfast sandwich was less than $5! What can you say my standards are low and it felt like a steal. The limited menu resulted in a sort of faster line (depending on the customer and their orders). Regardless, each order was prepped quickly and set to go. It was a heavy breakfast but no regrets. Lesson learned! read more

The manager is all, like, "Name for the order?". Doesn't have time for that whole greeting nonsense. Couldn't be bothered with all those hello shenanigans. Can't stand all that "how are you" tomfoolery. This isn't a safe space, this is fast food, so just, what the hell is your name and tell me what you want... But, the long line went fast, the food came out quick and too hot to eat. I can say hello to my waffle fries instead. Five stars. read more
