Fantastic food at a great price! Tons of different combinations of orders, and the ability to do a drink or shake! There's over 50 choices for milkshakes! For around $6-7.. per meal. The restaurant stays very busy but the lines move quickly! I always swing by here in the afternoons when I'm out, to get one of their sweet tea's. Highly recommend!

Real peaches in the milkshake delicious

OMG!!!!! A 10/10 must try this peach milkshake is so delicious & creamy I highly recommend this sweet treat. The milkshake are made with real ice cream instead of the cream milk like some restaurant. That's what makes them taste so good. They have some many different kinds of milkshake from cheesecake, pineapple, banana, to cookies & cream. I have also purchase the paddie melt hamburger befor & it was really delicious this is one of my favorite. Restaurant when I come down to North Carolina it's one of my must haves.

I stopped in for lunch today and had an uneventful experience. My food was good. The employees were nice. My order was correct. My food came out promptly. I have no complaints. I ordered the char grilled chicken sandwich(barbecue style.) I like it because it is high in protein and only 380 calories. It tastes like a chicken breast that would come off your grill at home. I ate lunch there for $3.95 since I got no sides. The cashier was young and somewhat new. She was polite and very humble. She smiled and acted like she enjoyed her job. One of the managers spoke to me and smiled. The area looked clean. They have a sanitation grade of 97.5 posted behind the register. The restroom was clean. This location met my expectations.

The line reaches the street!

STEER CLEAR!! Husband and I came out here for a wedding, originally we are from California, after the wedding it was late but we were still hungry so we drove around until we saw this place. The drive-through line was really long so we thought it must be really good food. When we got closer to the ordering screen we noticed there was actually a second line on the other side just as long. When we started looking at the menu we saw how many options they had and we got really excited thinking this must be some quality food and we couldn't wait to order. We ordered some burgers, a couple shakes, some onion rings and french fries. when I was double checking our order after we got it from the drive up window I notice we were missing the hush puppies that we had ordered, turns out the employee never heard us when we ordered them so at the very least we didn't get charged for them.When we drove back to our Airbnb we got all the food out and were getting ready to eat and then really took a look at our food. The food itself wasn't wrapped up very well, parts of our burgers were sticking out of the foil, we were still missing an order of large fries, it seemed like there was nothing but ice in the one soda that we got, and unfortunately it was actually supposed to be a Coke float and it had absolutely no ice cream in it whatsoever. Onto the burgers, the one chicken sandwich we ordered.... PINK on the inside, it was not even cooked thoroughly. Same for the hamburgers that we ordered. Both of our burgers were pink on the inside, they were put together so sloppily, the onions are these absolutely skinny strings that they layer onto the burger so they get lost in the mound of cheese they put on it..... I honestly cannot understand why this place is still open. The food was absolutely horrible. None of us felt comfortable eating after the first bite of anything that we ordered so we threw it all away and then went out and got some thing else. In speaking to the family that we have out here, they felt so bad for us. Apparently when they first moved out there they tried this spot as well and they thought it was disgusting, they felt so bad that they didn't warn us ahead of time. I am warning you, steer clear from this spot. It is disgusting food.

Love this place. Just kidding, I'm not a simp. Y'know I didn't know I lived in half-nut city. Came thru one night, they did okay, if waiting in line for three hours to be talked to by a rude-*ss Hot Cheeto girl qualifies as "okay." Came thru the second night, ordered cheese fries that we didn't get. Other than that, I wasn't too upset. Third night, got the cheese fries, luckily without an overnight shipping fee! (was denied a grilled cheese until I b*tched about it.) Used to like this place, still eat the food but I suggest Kannapolis or Albemarle, though you can't rely on them not to be even more f*ckin' stupid. Anyway, here's what I was given. Take a sick peep of my c u m - jar specialty fries.

Proof of purchase, date and time.

One star review given only because 0 stars isn't an option. Visited location tonight where I received attitude from the drive thru window so extreme we left the order and demanded a refund on the spot. We asked to see the manager outside for a discussion about their staff's behavior. When we were met outside, the manager heard us out and said "they'd handle it". (Pretty sure that this was not the manager but an employee that was sent outside to appease us) At no time did they actually acknowledge the problem or offer any sort of resolution. (For example: 'I acknowledge your problem or issue' , 'I apologize for the issue', 'Let me propose a potential solution or resolution') (Correct solution for this instance: Acknowledge, Apologize, Offer to Take the order on the spot and deliver personally (a correct order), apologize, and invite guest for a return visit) This is customer service 101!!!! Food here is never bad (even when the order is incorrect), always hot. I recommend it as long as you do not have hopes of any kind of measurable customer service.

Nice Interior

Those $5 deals just can't get any better! Chicken tenders, a chicken wrap, fries and a large drink for $5? That's two meals for me! Instead of ordering via drive thru, I went inside. The decor of the place is nice. I actually wanted to stay and eat inside, but I had a timeline to keep to. And now I'm craving me some sweet tea... Service was fast and friendly. No complaints here. Plus, the restroom was clean and stocked...bonus points!

If your looking for a damn good biscuit, bojangles is the place to go but not the place to dine…read more We stopped in for a quick meal to go and after walking into the restaurant I was fine with not staying. This establishment is very unkempt, the door to the closet in the dining room was falling off the hinges and the entire establishment could use a good deep cleaning. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich with a biscuit on the side. They also have salads and obviously many more forms of chicken to choose from, as well as a good selection of breakfast sandwiches. The grilled chicken was very tasty, it was seasoned well and the biscuit was excellent. The service was below average, there appeared to be a lack of management and structure in how orders were prepared and prioritized. I would recommend checking your order twice if using the drive thru, dining in would not be an option for me. Cheers!

This is ridiculous above and beyond. If a company is running low on chicken that should be their sign to drop more not wait until a customer wants some and then drop it. Also I ordered mac & cheese come home and I have dirty rice. I literally hate going to this Bojangles, I guess I'm gonna have to start going across town.

I loved that they offer unique builds, including one with French fries and even a Greek burrito packed with feta, olives, and other Greek-inspired ingredients. Service was quick, the food came out fast, and the different flavors of Rice Krispy treats were a delicious bonus. Definitely a great place to grab a quick meal in Salisbury!

No "wet" burritos. No queso. Nothing I actually paid for. To make it worse, my family also had issues with their food, so I had to drive there myself to get everything fixed after already spending money on delivery, and with a flat tire. Literally putting myself at risk because the staff can't follow a printed ticket.When I walked in, the night shift employees were on their phones, giggling with each other. The girl with bright red hair and the boy with light brown hair could not have looked more annoyed that a customer dared interrupt their hangout. The person who seemed to be the manager didn't greet me, didn't apologize, didn't try to help just stared at me.When I explained the situation, the employee acted confused and asked for the receipt, even though I clearly had the DoorDash ticket on the bag showing exactly what I ordered. They read it, rolled their eyes, and looked at their manager like they had no idea what to do. The manager's solution? "Well put queso on it." That's not leadership, and it's definitely not customer service.When they finally handed me the corrected food, they slapped on a fake smile and said, "Have a good night!!" Honestly? It was the worst service i've ever had from there. most likely will find somewhere else.

I've been going to Chick Fil A for decades. This is the first time I've had any issues. Usually,…read morethe food is perfect and the order is accurate. Oops. My youngest daughter and I decided on an early dinner and we decided on the old tried and true. She loves Chick Fil A. I got the sandwich combo with fries and Mae got the 8 piece with fries. My sandwich looked like it had been smashed. It tasted fine but it looked rough. The 8 piece actually turned out to be a 7 piece. While it may not seem to be a big deal, prices what they are should dictate quality and accuracy. So we paid 100% full price for 87.5% nuggets. Very irritating. We can use both hands folks and count to 8. And to boot, the nuggets were cold. The fries were an abomination. They were undercooked, saturated with grease and as limp as branches on a weeping willow tree. We ended up feed those to the ducks at a nearby pond. This was not the kind of food quality or order accuracy I have come to expect from Chick Fil A. I may give this particular location another chance. Bad days can happen. But it doesn't take a rocket scientist to count to 8, know how long nuggets have been sitting out or how to properly deep fry potatoes. One mistake on a single order is one thing. But three may be an indicator of bigger problems. 2 1/2 star avg for Chick Fil A? This location obviously has service issues. It may be passed time for the crew to be turned over or go back through training. This isn't how Chick Fil A's are suppose to be operated. Is management even reading Yelp?

After placing my and fifteen minutes after the order was placed my drinks don't arrive. I am told…read morethat they had just run out of strawberry shake. I told the manager that this was unacceptable. That it was piss poor management. The Cheerwine festival was going on. Just streets away. Wouldn't you think that you'd have a heavier order due to the situation (the festival). The other drink a Dr.Pepper float and it didn't taste like Dr.Pepper.
