From Charlotte to Atlanta: Our first visit to Chick-fil-A...

Chick-fil-A was a fast food restaurant that we visited while driving from Charlotte to Atlanta. One of the reasons that we wanted to stop by was to support what Chick-fil-A stood for. Its Corporate Purpose is:

“To glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us. To have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A.“

To this end, since its opening in 1946, Chick-fil-A had remains closed on Sundays, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Chick-fil-A’s founder, S. Truett Cathy, made the decision to close on Sundays as he knew what it was like to work seven days a week in restaurants, so he saw the importance of letting his employees set aside one day to rest and worship if they choose to.

Inside Chick-fil-A

Clean and white premise inside Chick-fil-A

We found the Chick-fil-A store to be clean and white. A very inviting fast-food restaurant. Inside, there’s a banner as well as a bench for photo-taking. We also learnt about Chick-fil-A’s story where they started out as a busy diner in South Atlanta in 1946 and coming up with the now-famous Original Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich with a really simple concept – to serve delicious sandwiches using a plump, juicy chicken breast. Along the way, they also innovated by being the first fast food restaurant to be opened in a mall (aka in-mall dining). This is a strange concept for Singaporeans since many diners can be found in shopping malls in Singapore. However, in the US, because of the plentiful space, restaurants are usually housed by themselves with their own parking space – a sight that you can still see today. Hence, the concept to integrate the dining into malls in 1967, was considered a novelty.

Today, Chick-fil-A is one of the largest privately-owned restaurant chains in the US and continues to serve up classics such as the Original Chicken Sandwich, Chick-fil-A Waffle Potato Fries as well as the Icedream dessert.

What We Had at Chick-fil-A

Chick-fil-A Deluxe ($9.25), 8 pc Nuggets ($4.85), Chocolate Milk Shake ($4.45) at Chick-fil-A

This time, we tried the Original Chicken Sandwich at Chick-fil-A but we had it the “deluxe” way ($9.25 for the meal). That is, for just 70cents more, you’ll get lettuce, tomato and cheese in your chicken sandwich. That’s cheaper than Macs where 80cents only gives you the cheese.

After tasting the Chicken Sandwich at Chick-fil-A, we must say that it is DELICIOUS. It is no wonder it continues to be so popular in USA today. The chicken breast was tender and juicy as advertised. Coupled with the “deluxe” add-ons, it was perfect. However, we also ordered the 8 pc Chicken Nuggets ($4.85) which we found to be a little too salty. It was like chicken tenders cut into the shape of nuggets, instead of the larger nuggets that you get at most fast-foods. So it was smaller in size as well. But, it was made with real meats and not processed, so you’re paying for quality here.

Lastly, we ended the meal with the Chocolate Milk Shake ($4.45) and it even comes with whipped cream and cherry. Yum! 😛

Great to have finally visited a Chick-fil-A outlet in USA and we agree that the Chicken Sandwich at Chick-fil-A is really as good as they say. Add on a milk shake, complete with whipped cream and cherry for the complete experience!
