Great food, great service. It's that simple.

I guess my point was, IMO the chicken is too bland to eat on it's own, and they don't have any sauce that makes it appealing. Popeyes chicken is good on it's own...canes has bland chicken and fries, but the sauce saves it

If Popeye's had their service, I would have had a few heart attacks by now.

Ah, that makes more sense. Have you tried their spicy chicken sandwich, or just going off of the normal chicken? Popeyes, I'm not eating their normal chicken without some type of sauce either. Spicy is great, but their normal fried chicken isn't much different, it just has a thicker/crunchier batter.

ETA: And I'm not ragging on Popeyes. As I've said in this thread, I think it is probably the best pure fried chicken as far as flavor is concerned.

this is a such a simple concept to warrant the almost monthly thread that it gets

good food + consistently good service + fast and cheap = win

Totally agree.... Anyone who orders popeyes mild should really be at a different restaurant. And not even sure...it's been years since I've gone to CFA so don't remember what all I've had...some biscuits, some nuggets, some sandwiches... was just never impressed. As I said...it's good...but not good enough in my mind to justify the cult follow it seems to have

Despite "hot takes...edgy behavior...sarcasm" becoming a major factor in interpersonal communications, customers spending money still wish, it seems, to be treated with some modicum of respect, civility and courtesy. Go figure.

yea...I get that part of the equation. But it's all a sliding scale. I can forgive shite service to an extent as long as the food is good enough...likewise to a lesser extent, I can excuse a meal that missed the mark a bit if I feel the staff was really doing their best to take care of me as a customer. At the end of the day...good service or no, CFA doesn't have any food that I find worth spending my money on.

I love the CFA sauce. Stuff is so addicting. I doubt he'd like it though. It is definitely very sweet

I generally just enjoy contrasts. The salty/spicy and sweet balance well together.

Because it's better than McDonalds..

McDonalds is a successful food chain and if I had the option between going to one or the other.. No question I am going to Chick Fil A because I like their product more than McDonalds and I know I am less likely to have any problems. My order is more likely to be correct.. If it isn't, it will not be that big of an issue to get it fixed.

Have you really had that many issues at Mcds? I don't eat a lot of fast food. But I don't remember the service at Mcds being that bad. Places like BK are a completely different story.

Service wise, they aren't much different. You can probably find some McD's that have better service than BK, but both are largely on the same level in that regard now.

ETA: And it's one of the few places where the employees are actually competent and don't try to make you feel like you're bothering them

Not around Baton Rouge area. The Wendy's around BR are slower than Popeye's, though slightly more accurate.

Granted, every franchise around BR has terrible employees (except Chik-fil-a).
