Ordered a 12 ct grilled nugget in drive thru. Took my order home and received a regular 12 ct nugget. Not what I ordered but I decided I would just eat anyways. First nugget I bit into had a very stale texture, the temperature of the food was off and mind you I live down the street from this location and went straight home to eat after drive thru order. Old stale nuggets is what I received. I called the restaurant and was told to come back to get a refund. I went back and explain to the cashier and a front of house lead who was very rude over the phone and in person. I won't be coming back here and i'll let other people I know not to come back. If I could give 0 stars I would. Very disappointed. read more

For the most part I always receive good food items from Chick-fil-A. Even when we eat inside is clean and everyone is friendly. But as of recently the drive thru window service is lacking. I have had a few times when I get home and all my items are not there but that happens in a few different restaurants. This particular time I returned to get the two brownies I paid for on the last trip, but did not get. I placed my order which was sent in wrong but the employee at the payment kiosk called in to correct it from spicy to not spicy chicken. She even had to explain to whomever "the same sandwich, just not spicy". Well, by the time I got to the window, the matter was still getting sorted out. So I sat there for about 4 minutes watching a lot of horsing around. One girl fixing her braid and applying lip gloss, two girls dressing one of the young men with a salty vest to go out to drive thru, another girl completely combing her fingers through another girl's hair to put it up in a clip. YOUR IN A KITCHEN FOR GOD SAKES. Finally they sent me to park because they were still sorting out my sandwich issue. WHERE IS THE MANAGER. These girls need to be trained better. There were a total of 5 employees in that area and just one focused on the job. I will be taking a break from them for a long while until they can get it together. At Jack in the box only one person is at the window and they get it all done without sending me parking. read more

This was only my 2nd visit, once in the drive-thru, this time went inside the store. There seems to be a pattern.... I've been to multiple Chick-fil-A locations, and as stated only the 2nd time here to this one, yet the consistent pattern of a clean restaurant, quality finished food, and friendly service resounds at this franchise that I've seen at all of them, but this one is our local gem. read more

Service was great as always at all locations BUT WOW the calmness inside was to die for. The music wasn't blasting and it just felt so chill. Granted I was in at 10:30, but I just want to give my appreciation to whoever is controlling that music volume level. #zen read more

My 8 year old son had surgery today, and on the way home his only request was Chick-fil-A. I tried to convince him to do the drive-thru, but he insisted on going inside. Because of his surgery, he needed some help walking in and finding a seat. I wish I knew her name, but on 2/12/26 around 2:30 p.m., there was an incredible young woman working who went completely out of her way to show Oliver such kindness and support. She gifted him a box with a limited-edition cup and plushie. That small act of kindness meant more than she probably knows. It put the biggest smile on my sweet boy's face after a hard day. Moments like this are why we will always support this establishment. Going above and beyond for customers especially a child recovering from surgery is something you just don't see often anymore. We are so grateful. read more

Purchased my daughter a southwest chicken salad at Chic today. As my daughter was eating her salad she felt some hard particles in her teeth. She got them out and they were small rocks in the salad. This is not something you expect to chew into. Please be careful when choosing the salad. read more

This is for the north broadway location. Horrible staff. We have tried three times. Never again!!'

A pretty good place to stop by for some breakfast. Portions seem a little small but it was super tasty. They have a large spacious outdoor patio to enjoy some sun. Employees were sweet and quick bringing out our food. Very clean restaurant and a large table to fit our party of 8 people. read more

My stubborn male parent forced me to dine inside of this establishment. I ordered a spicy deluxe, fries with a waffle style cut, and a concoction labeled as a frosted lemonade. Waffles were acceptable, lemonade was scrumptious and refreshing still with the classic milkshake feeling that make you feel just a little bit gluttonous. Service was good I got my food rather quickly and they were nice. Ambiance how ever was how I can only describe as spiritually inept. Decoration was a bit appalling, there was a vestibule created using recycles coke bottles that had no purpose. I sat next to the children's farmyard inspired playpen and heard screams that could be considered demonic. Anyways lettuce was soggy and bread underbaked, but I still completed the dish in under 3 bites. Would come again. read more

Just had the most wonderful conversation with shakeera and Karen, they are representing the company so well and their energy was top notch beautiful. Ambience was very happy and welcoming.

Not agree that chick fil-a only sells breakfast menu on the morning. Spicy chicken sandwich should be available at all times. Breakfast bread consistency is not good at all. read more

Great customer service, clean, well-run location. Jacob, in particular, deserves a few kudos. He's always friendly and working hard. read more

Don't go through the drive threw, they will screw all your order up and charge you a fortune. Thanks Chick-fil-A for a email that went into the trash. read more

I got the chicken club and it tasted like the damn club sandwich at my school vending machines. This place is extremely mediocre for a fast food place man I'd rather go to McDonald's. Save yourself some money and a good time and go to anywhere else around but here, seriously you'll notice a grand difference. read more

COVID TIMES EDITION: My husband and I were extremely disappointed to see half of the drive through staff, especially the ones handling the food not masking. We noted hoards of people leaving the inside of the joint at the end of the lunch rush without masks as we were entering the line. We are in Santa Barbara County and masks indoors are again mandated (and have been for a while). I won't be returning to this franchise because I am certain that there is a certain culture in management that is anti-mask. ENVIRONMENTAL CRITIQUE: Styrofoam water cups. Folks!?! It's 2021! Places like Costco have gone away with straws of all things. Surely, chik-fil-a can get with the modern times and use something like paper. A little reminder- Styrofoam can't break down AND has been linked to cancer. Why they continue to use it is just beyond me. So thats that. I like their chicken but I can't support an establishment that 1)doesn't take the pandemic seriously 2)doesn't care about the environment and 3) discriminates the LGBTQ community. read more

Was in the area visiting family & wanted to grab a bite to eat . I was worried about coming Chick-fil-A because in the Bay Area lines are always so long!! Not the case at this location. Lines ran smoothly and quickly. Didn't take long to place my order. I ordered a Spicy Chicken Sandwich that's it. I was in out of line pretty quick. Sandwich was so tasty!! I always take half bun off lol. Then I can really taste the chicken. Yum :) read more

While I don't have an issue with service, the quality of the chicken sandwich has changed for the worse. It is NASTY now. I took a couple bites and was like naw.. Then my wife took a couple of bites, looked at me and said, "what happened?" We both had some stomach issues afterwards.. Whatever new ingredients they put into the sandwich is not it. I would not recommend. The nuggets tasted the same as before and we didnt have an issue with them. Overall, we will not be eating chick-fil-a again. read more

You can't make this up: 2 weeks ago, I ordered a sausage and egg biscuit, no cheese. I went to excess to clearly articulate and repeat the simple order. I drove away, grabbed my BFast sammie, and it felt like it weighed a pound! It damn near did, because there was a chicken filet between the sausage patty and egg!! WTH!? Then today, i ordered a Diet Coke and a lemonade. What did i get in place of the DC?? A Diet Dr Pepper! This was after the guy at the window said, "large Diet Coke?" Sad. read more

I never write reviews but the service was great from Joey. There had been an issue with my order pulling into the drive thru but it was quickly resolved by him! He was very kind and helpful and made the experience a breeze. read more

This Chick-fil-A location is awesome. All of the employees that I've ever encountered here have been very kind and knowledgeable about what it is they serve. They definitely treat you like you are a part of the family and that they have known you for years. The food is the quality you expect from Chick-fil-A. It's full flavor it's always served hot and fresh. I have dine in, gone through the drive-through several times and have had it delivered to my house and every single time my order has always been 100% correct. I definitely think this is a great place to stop whether you live in town or are you are just driving down the 101 going somewhere else. read more

Chick Fil-A is one of my most favorite fast food chains and it's honestly really good. I've had a chicken sandwich there (although a bit pricy) and was a 9.5/10. The people here are also really friendly and helpful with ordering and fixing your order if need be. The food quality is always great as well as a short wait time. You can even earn free food with their points rewards! read more

Worst chicken sandwich ever. I don't get all the popularity of this place. It was packed in the drive thru, he forgot one meal altogether. They fixed at when we got our food tho. Done. read more

Food is getting worse here unfortunately. Service is super fast thankfully, but just came here for lunch & the food already has me feeling sick. I think the chicken is also a different recipe or maybe just a different person making them, but it doesn't taste how it used to. At least they keep the place clean and are very helpful! read more

The female manager saw me standing less than 4feet away- waiting for her to finish talking about eating something to one of her coworkers??- and so i raised my hand up and she rudely said, "oh, can i help you with something?" All I wanted to say was that the ladies room was out of hand sanitizer and paper towels! She didn't say thank you or anything! She replied with, "Yeah ok, I'll let someone know about that." I would never order food from chick fil a, it's not halal and it's not kosher. Which is fine if you're not religious. but canola oil is super bad for your body!! They use peanut oil and canola oil in ALL their food. I know chick fil a may be fast, but try your best not to eat here!!! read more

The food was amazing the girl who served us was so nice and friendly I would totally go here a again

This is without a doubt the worst location in the country. We have patronized well over 50 locations in ten states and not one came close to the ineptitude of Santa Maria. The employees are rude, especially today, and the drive thru is a complete joke. My mobile order was somehow deleted in the two minutes from the ordering station and the pick up window. Had to park and wait 8 more minutes for my order. My Autistic son said "I don't think we should come back here." This, the child who spots CFA stores from the air over every airport. He knew exactly where we needed to go from SEATAC. Santa Maria has disappointed every single time. read more

Stopped in this Chick-fil-A a few weeks ago and you could tell that things are still fairly new and there's some room for improvement. I'm sure once the initial rush dies down a bit things will be very efficient like all the other stores. Overall, it was an ok experience. This indecisive large family more or less caused a huge bottle neck and took up both registers. Being the head of a house hold is tough and trying to accommodate the entire family, young and old, is not easy. They were just so unaware with their surroundings. After a while, the staff realized that the line wasn't moving and opened up a 3rd register and called me over. At this point the line was probably 15 people deep, so I'm glad they were able to alleviate the wait. Soon after I got my food and drink. I got the #1 deluxe combo and also got some nuggets. There's a bunch of different choices depending on what mood you're feeling. I'm a big fan of their big variety of sauces and even their ketchup and hot sauces are generously out for your dining pleasure. I'm sure I'll be back, I have no doubt I'll give them a higher rating next time but this trip was meh. Parking: they have a portion of the parking lot dedicated just to them. There's signs and blockades directing you in a certain way to park or to enter the drive thru which was almost like an amusement park. I'm sure the drive thru would have been a mess otherwise. read more

So excited that CFA is here in SM! If you have not eaten here and you don't care for fast food, definitely come on in and try their sandwiches or nuggets. My oh my! Their chicken is so delicious. Not processed, greasy and or hard like other places. Their lemonade is legit too. What brings me back time and time again is that every CFA is clean, friendly, organized, and on point. Have little ones? They will enjoy the little playroom which is soundproof. read more

My first visit ever to a Chick-fil-A and it was a great experience. The first thing I did was download the app, then I was able to see everything on the menu. The app is pretty easy to use and you could actually let the app know when you get there so the meal will be hot. I ordered an English muffin with cheese, egg, and sausage, then ordered a bagel with chicken, egg, and cheese. The English muffin is bigger than the MCD egg McMuffin and I have to admit the CFA muffin was a bit tastier. As for the Bagel, it was good, but I think I would of removed the chicken and ate the bagel just with the cheese and egg. I could tell you the chicken was excellent. I can't wait to order the Chick n Strip meal. Customer service was great, I went in the morning and it wasn't too busy, and it was nice to be able to go straight to pickup and just pickup up my bag while everyone else is waiting, I forgot to ask if I could of just go to the drive thru and pick-up. Well, for now this may be my competition for me between KFC and CFA because KFC was my go to Fried Chicken eatery. read more

I had redeemed a free birthday cookie and one of the employees stopped our car as we were about to drive off and gave me my cookie because they rigor to put it in the bag (it was sort of my fault tho because I just realized I had a rewards item after we already paid).

Horrible service, been to many other Chic-fil-A's and never have I been as disappointed as I was at the one in Santa Maria. I ordered at the drive thru and got a 12 pcs nugget meal. When i opened the nugget box, there were only 9 pcs, and half of those were tiny pcs. Honestly, it looked like someones leftovers. I immediately walked back to the drive thru window to let them know. I was given a replacement but not without some undeserved attitude. Just a nasty stare and no apologies for the mix up. They made me feel as if I was in the wrong. Management definitely needs to address the service here. read more
