    It's not all that to me but I did switch to peanut oil from vegetable oil for my deep fryer thanks to them.

    i heard there is a ginormous waiting list, and that corporate takes a much larger cut from sales, but they always have a lot of people, so it sounds like win win...

    Their grilled chicken is underrated. Chicken minis is the go to for breakfast. Their fries and biscuits could be better IMO. Their sweet tea is on point.

    Chick fil a is the hardest franchise to open lol. They have a highly selective process and the owner has to work in their store for a period of time, so this isnt someting you just open for your portfolio

    Blasphemy! Zaxbys is good, but their food is so damn greasy. I always feel awful a few minutes after eating there.

    I'd say more like In n Out. The cult-like following is insane but the honest customer would tell you there's nothing on the menu warranting a 20+ car drive thru. To their credit they work through the lines well but still...

    CFA is the GOAT purely as it has the GOAT Customer Service and their Business Process/Logistics are amazing. These people get through 20+ ppl lines in little to no time.

    Only issue I have with them is they put their chicken sandwiches in that little bag, which promotes it to sweat; which in turn makes it slightly soggy.

    I think Chic-Fil-A is amazing. Easily top three for me.

    Chic-Fil-A sandwich, large fries, and Chic-Fil-A sauce. [​IMG]

    Sucks I no longer live 5 minutes away from one lol.
