Hate this location, ALL THE MANAGERS SUCK. Everyone is RUDE AND NASTY. Store always dirty, never going back. Orders and food always wrong . Oh forgot to mention the obscurely long wait read more

Good Food, Fast Service w/a smile!!! They never disappoint! I had the chicken/egg/cheese biscuit this morning and it was just as great as the last time! As long as I can find a decent parking spot, this will remain one of my quick breakfast morning favs! read more

This is our go-to place every time we come do to the DMV, after checking into the Hilton around the corner, we hit the Chick-fil-A for lunch before hitting the mall. The staff is very friendly and accommodating and the food is delicious. For a New Yorker tired of the fast food choices and not wanting to spend $$$ at a restaurant, Chick-fil-A hits the spot. They serve the best shakes/desserts of all of the chains as well. Apart from the religious-political controversy, I wish there were Chick-fil-A restaurants in NYC. read more

It truly never fails. Every time I come to this Chick Fil A, whether or not I place a mobile order I'll be waiting at least twenty minutes. The employees always look like they don't want to be there and how unprofessional it's there is surreal. No matter the time of day either, a very long wait will be guaranteed. Today I made the mistake to go back to get a quick meal but after waiting almost thirty minutes the manager decided to give me a refund. Then I'd need to wait three more minutes to get what I ordered but with me being thoroughly disappointed with this whole establishment; I declined and decided to leave because I really would rather to spend not another second in that place. Needless to say, I will not be returning there and I do not recommend. Chick Fil A is truly not what it used to be. read more

Ordered our food here today for pick up. They said everything was in the bag. A few items was missing. I get it , we should've checked the bag , but if we are regular customers and we trust the store we shouldn't have to worry whether we are missing items in our order. On top of that we ordered ice cream for our kids and this is what we got. Very frustrating. I understand that it's busy but orders should still be checkEd thoroughly. And right portions should be given to customers. read more

Chick-fil-A - Ice cream - Fast Food Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

These guys are always quick and no-nonsense. When they messed up my order, the manager was very responsive and sent me a free sandwich coupon. I was there when a lady blew up and started cussing out the workers aggressively during the height of the pandemic. They were very calm and the manager quickly stepped in. Solid franchise establishment. read more

Service was horrible they only put one sauce in my bag I requested for another one and they told me that they can't give me another one it is a limit to one sauce per order that's ridiculous because every other Chick-fil-A that I have been to has never ever said no to giving me a sauce I requested again and theThe girl said no sorry I will never come back to this Chick-fil-A again service was bad read more

I usually not one to complain but wow. First off they forgot my drink and when I asked for it they insisted I didnt pay for it even though its on my copy of the receipt. Okay thats not that bad. When I got home and opened up my sandwich first thing I see is a bite mark in my sandwich. A BITE MARK. IN MY SANDWICH. I called and asked for a manager and I was hung up on. I called back and was gaslighting me about it. He was so rude and kept if Im sure its a "human bite mark" like SOMEONE WAS NIBBLING AT MY SANDWICH. DURING A PANDEMIC. Absolutely ridiculous. read more

Chick-fil-A - Someone took a bite of my Spicy Chicken Sandwich. - Fast Food Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

Your location Chick-fil-A 825 Ellsworth Dr Lot, D1-A, Silver Spring, MD 20910 Fast Food Jonathan Wilder 801 points   just now Picking up a Door Dash today around noon and encountered THE most disrespectful member of a ChiK Fil A staff on my life. Took it upon herself to seemingly instruct me on doordash policies. As I have over 400 under my belt plus stopping at Chil Fil A from Alexandria to Catonsville, I'm no slouch. Actually had the audacity to refuse me the order unless I produced my red bag. Following that, she told me to back away from the counter. WTF. While it is true pickup instructions recommend bring the hot red bag, it is by no mean a requirement for pickup.The subjective and most irritating thing in this scenario is that only 2/5 Doordashers had them in the store, me being the only one verbally refused w/o it.Besides this, no merchant has any reasonable right to refuse to produce a paid order for my customers. If someone's gonna assume my duties, then they need to com ed correct. Theres a time that the food IS supposed to be ready, that was 10 minutes later than the promised time. In the future it would do us all well if people simply did their own jobs. I regret not getting this individual's name but her blue shirt indicates she was a manager. I think remedial customer service training and store mission statements would help. There was certainly no pleasure here. read more

Consistently poor service. Have had orders that were ready and not brought out to me for 15 minutes. Have had orders that were lost. Today there was a long line of mobile order people and it turned out nobody was working on mobile orders. read more

I am done. I have literally had it up to my ears in foolishness with this restaurant. While I am an avid fan of the brand, I am done with the Downtown Silver Spring location. Last night, the young lady was passing me my food. As I was extended my hand, she drops the bag on the counter and turns and walks off. Now, I'm baffled, because of the way the bag plopped on the counter and no remorse or anything. I stood there frozen and her colleague who was standing right there, didn't pick up the bag and pass it to me. It was like a "Whatever, oh well," moment. And, I felt myself becoming irate. So stood there for a second. The young man asked me if I needed anything, I told him that I needed his colleague to not throw my food and for him to pay attention. I mean it's deep here. The staff is extremely inconsistent and have a horrible attention to detail. I get it. Some people will read this and think that I'm reading too much into this, but I'm not. I worked at a Chick-Fil-A agent in college, on campus, and CUSTOMER SERVICE is what keeps the brand open. Please, Thank You, and MY PLEASURE. That is what makes people return to CFA - period. Also, I'm an Atlanta boy and been rocking with Chick Fil A my entire life! And, I know when it ain't right. Period! And, it's not just this encounter. I've had to direct conversations with incompetent managers at this location. First of all, I celebrate the diversity and the beauty of the investment that this particular restaurant in diversifying its staff. However, if you aren't going to make sure the staff has the tools they need to succeed... then what's the point? On a very busy Saturday. I made a mobile order after waiting for about 20 minutes in line. I did not hear my name called when the order was ready. After some time had passed, I went to the counter. A lady manager raises her voice at me that my name had been called. Now, I'm confused as all get out, because clearly the restaurant is packed with a line to the door. Folks are huddled in the pick up area and I wasn't the only person missing name callout. She shoved the bag in my hands and spun around. I had to ask her to clean off my cup. Which is a CFA no no. WHO GIVES OUT CUPS WITH SODA OR TEA RUNNING ALL OVER? Someone who's lazy, that's who. I asked her to give me hot fries, she rolled her eyes and reluctantly gave me the fries. I could have asked for my entire meal to recooked, but I did not feel waiting any longer or arguing. Because she legit had one more time to roll her eyes or get nasty and it was on. I don't understand why the employees have to be pleasant but the manager can be an entire ass? Mindboggling. Next case, a young brother is the manager, we share the same name, and he's very personable and for the most part, appears to do a great job. However, I had an incident where they forgot to put the chicken on my breakfast sandwich and messed up a few other items. They never answered the phone. And it was too late for me to go back because breakfast would've been over once I got home and then drove back to the restaurant. I shared with him the story - after I paid for my meal. He says, I would have taken care of that for you, I said, I didn't want a free meal, I want you all to make sure I don't have any more problems. Just fix it. I'll be back. I'm loyal to CFA. They've been good to me. I told him about the Dwarf House in Atlanta and Truett's Grill and that he should visit. He gave me two cards. This was a Thursday. I went in the next week and attempted to use the card, it was expired. I told the young lady to get him because he gave me the car. Of course, he didn't remember and I asked him why he gave me a card that had an immediate expiration and didn't inform me of that when gave it to me? I'm not upset with him, because it's not like I asked for it. But it was embarrassing. And, after so many incidents with this particular restaurant, all of the little things start to add up. I will not spend my money here again. I'm good. I don't have the brand, but the Downtown Silver Spring location has only one more time before I set it off and at this point, there is no point in me patronizing. They need to shut down for an entire day and retrain the whole store. read more

This Chick-fil-A is conveniently located near shopping and other restaurants in downtown Silver Spring. The employees are always nice. The bathrooms are clean. There is a selection of wraps and salads if you don't want to get a burger. The managers keep an eye on the dining areas and are good about asking non customers to leave. The restaurant is always closed on Sundays. Bonus points on the new thick milkshakes. read more

My previous review covered my visits there over the years. Before yesterday, I had been some months ago. I ordered ahead of time to pick up a salad, using the Chick-fil-A app on my phone. I arrived to the pick-up counter and wasn't greeted. The manager I usually see chatting it up with customers he knows personally actually looked me in my face and then turned back around to do what he was doing. I was finally given my order by a cashier. Still no change in the lack of good customer service, which Chick-fil-A is so known or. read more

The manager (or shift manager?) flipped out on a couple kids from the Human Rights Campaign who were fundraising/info-giving too close to his store, apparently. That was pretty unpleasant, whether or not you're an HRC fan. Their chicken nuggets may edge out McD's fried ovals of "pink slime," but that's an awfully low standard, especially when there's a billion other options within a block. This place leaves a bad taste in my mouth in more ways than one. read more

Being how loyal I am to Chick-fila, it pains me to have to give them only two stars. This is the closest one near my house and I always give it another chance hoping the next time things will get better. 1) The amount of loud teens who aren't even dining and causing an unpleasant experience is outrages. 2.) The food 85% of the times seems to be cold or undercooked. 3.) Knowing the standards of chickfila as I have traveled all over the country to other locations, the level of professionalism by employee and management is not up to par. read more

Best fast food joint ever!!!!! Always clean, staff is friendly and polite, food is fresh, A+ Promotions are good too, as free give-outs aren't seldom at all. Definitely a top notch place for lunch... did I mention that it's THE place to go if you want (need!) a milkshake? Highest recommendations read more

Typical Chick Fil A location no frills. Because it is located in downtown silver spring I always order on the mobile app and get my food to go. Like most other Chick-Fil-A the service is A-1. Although it gets pretty busy during the peak hours I don't wait too long for my food because of the mobile app. Also, parking sucks because of location. read more

This has got to be the slowest Chik Fil A on the planet. For a chain that prides itself on fast and courteous service, this branch is falling a little behind in the speed category. Lots of employees standing in the back while just one open register and a good number of customers standing in line. Fortunately, the food quality is consistent. It was a toss up between this location and another chain in the neighborhood. I think next time I will weigh my options a little more. read more

I wish they would do better at this location. I usually come here for breakfast and they continuously mess up my simple order. It's to the point where I don't even want to complain I just want to get in and get out. read more

I'm gonna tell you something, and I expect it not to be repeated elsewhere. I don't like Chick-fil-a. There, I said it! Before you start sending death threats, let me explain: We didn't have Chick-fil-a in DC growing up in the 80s and 90s. I grew up eating McChicken sandwiches and McNuggets. Despite the name, I don't know what kind if meat it was. Could've been a McSquirrel for all I know, but it was good. So good in fact that even with us kids watching commercials of the McNuggets being alive and able to talk to Ronald, Birdie, and Grimmace...we still ate them. So anyway, that long unrelated intro goes to say that I've come to find Chick-fil-a sandwiches to be weird. They taste like chicken and that makes me uncomfortable. BUT, I happened to stumble into this place with a friend not too long ago. Of all four Chick-fil-a's that I've been to in the last 15 years, this is the first one where I actually enjoyed the food. The sandwich was juicy and yet somehow still done. The waffle fries were crispy. The staff seemed like they actually like their jobs. I can't say I'm hooked. I still prefer my chicken sandwiches to cost a dollar even though you can't buy a loaf of bread for that price these days, but somehow can get bread, sauce, pigeon meat, and three wilted cornflake sized pieces of lettuce for $1. BUT...I wouldn't be totally opposed to going back to this Chick-fil-a one day. read more

.BEST. .FAST FOOD CHAIN. EVAAARRR. I sometimes cry on Sundays when I realize it's not open. Also, the bfast chick-n-minis are little chicken biscuits sent from heaven. read more

Horrible, unfriendly service. No smiles, no "hello" and no "thank you." Manager spent her time with her back turned to the customers while making frozen drinks. Everyone looked like they didn't want to be there. I was unimpressed with the food, but perhaps I just didn't order the right thing. The chicken was of a good quality, but the fries were a little cold. read more

I love chick fil a, but this location can be a little shady. When youre young and youre going to hang out, fast food places seem to be the spot of choice. There seems to be some overzealous enforcement here. Kids are just being kids. Laughing, having a good time, not bothering anything or anyone. Heck, they've even ordered food (yea just fries but so what they are patrons too!) so mr security guard, let them be. The staff here is super friendly, and the line moves quick. If you bring your movie stub, get a soda and fries, you get a free sandwich. :) yup. read more

Did a mobile order, got so much wrong. Asked for no whipped cream and cherry, they put both on it. Asked for BBQ sauce gave me chick fil a. Sad, the Columbia Heights store is better. read more

This was my "large fry". I got this via Uber eats but it's not the first time I've dealt with this. When picking up at this location and ordering online, my large fries always come half empty and stuffed down w/ napkins and sauce. This location definitely doesn't live up to the usual CFA standard. read more

I'm a fan of Chick-fil-a and I actually hate fast food. I've tried the following and enjoyed: spicy chicken sandwich and the salads. Minus the Mexican one. That one was just weird. I am not a fan of their chicken nuggets and fries though. I would expect more from a chicken place. The nuggets are just pitiful, just pass on them. The fries don't have any flavor unless you dip them in a sauce. Womp. Service is always great at a Chick-fil-a, but this location lacks it. No one walks around helping customers and it just had a "order and get out" vibe to it. What happened to the friendly service I'm used to?! read more

I ordered two meals plus 3 individual entrees, so it was a large order. They forgot the 10 nuggets I ordered, no pepper Jack cheese on the sandwich I ordered, and no dressing I ordered for 2 wraps. It was 5 miles from where I was staying but took 30 min to get to bc traffic. So, to discover things missing after an hour in the car is disappointing. This is the first Chick-fil-a to disappoint and I've been to several. People were outside of the location yelling at me asking for money. They said "there's no Chick without change..".. whatever that means. The elevator to go down from parking reeked of marijuana. read more

Standard Chick-Fil-A. Because of the location, this place is can get very busy. I highly recommend doing a mobile order if you are in a rush. The staff are pretty good about getting orders out in a timely fashion. The staff are also very kind and accommodating. With all the foot traffic they deal with, they are able to keep the restaurant and tables clean. If you're in the mood for Chick-Fil-A and in the area, you won't be disappointed. read more

Today I went to chick-fil-a for a spicy chicken deluxe. What I did not realize is that these sandwiches now include a weevil with your lettuce. Pretty gross, but I know it happens everywhere from time to time. However, what annoyed me most was the two free meal tickets I was given in consolation that stipulate it had to be at the same location and by the 31st of this month. Sorry, you don't grossly screw up and then force me to eat at your establishment again as a remediation. (no manager spoke to me either, just sent an associate to give me the cards) Will not eat at this location ever again. read more

This Chick Fil A deserves a one star review--I have gone here several times and have repeatedly waited extended periods of time for a curbside order. It should never take more than 30 mins for a kids meal. The curbside service is awful and unreliable. If you want chick fil a go to another neighborhood and avoid the silver spring one at all costs. read more

Always great, fast service! The staff is pretty friendly and they always get our orders right no matter how complicated they may be.

Everyone knows their chicken is AMAZING! Service was efficient and restaurant was kept clean and organized. However, THEY WERE OUT OF ICE CREAM! I couldn't get my strawberry shake! I was very disappointed! You would think that they'll keep good inventory of their ice creams? No! Next time!! read more

It's Chick-fil-A. The service is friendly, the food is delicious, and they never complain when someone asks for six or more Chick-fil-A Sauce packets for one meal, which I may or may not do. Plus, their countertops at the windows offer some truly fantastic people watching (sorry, obnoxious/screaming/hormonal teenagers who frequent downtown Silver Spring, you are not nearly as cool as you think you are). The only problem I have with the place is that the employees need to do a better job of cleaning up tables when it's busy. And boy, does it get busy. read more

Several good things about this place: 1. The market salad grill is yummy with fruits and grilled chicken. Only 200 calories - ideal for dieters! 2. The waffle fries are so nice. We strongly recommend the Chick-fil-A sauce. 3. The staff there are really friendly. They call your name to when the meal is ready, and the manager walks around to check everyone is okay. You can even find real fresh flowers decorated on the table. Highly recommend this place. Much more than what you can expect from a fast-food restaurant! read more

Pretty standard as far as Chick-fil-A's go in terms of food, which is good in my opinion. What really impressed me is the customer service--large line, small line, those manning the registers were the most professional I've seen at a fast-food restaurant lately. Additionally, the shift manager was spot on, and kept the line moving. A couple of notices and reminders: 1. This Chick-fil-A requires a purchase to use the restroom. The passcode is printed on the bottom of the receipt. 2. As a reminder, all Chick-fil-A's are closed on Sundays, and this one is no exception. read more

Walked into Chick-Fil-A this evening and when my husband walked up before me the cashier Raphaela immediately stopped what she was saying and welcomed me. I was totally impressed from the moment I met her. She was very helpful and patient. Truly a great employee! I give her much appreciation and wonderful job hiring her! She should get a promotion! read more

Wear your mask over your nose people and stop with your bickering behind the line! I waited for over 15 minutes for a ice cream lemonade because no one could decided who needed to make it. Ridiculous! Then one of the managers was bickering and demeaning another co-worker. This is Chic-Fil-A ... there was nothing uplifting about the experience. read more
