New Zealand Family Try Chick-Fil-A For The First Time!

[@axmajpayne]

In my experience, when Popeye's is good, they hit it out of the park. The problem is the are wildly inconsistent, even within the same restaurant. Chick-Fil-A is one of the most consistent chicken places in the US and you know what quality you are going to get when you go to one.

[@choochoo9506]

Exactly. I've been to several horrible Popeyes, and NOTHING but excellent Chic Fil A

[@ctwells40]

THIS! This was my exact reasoning when explaining to a friend. I’ve never heard someone say “Man don’t go to that chick fil a, got to the one across town, that’s the good one”. You always get the best at chick fil a. Can’t say the same for Popeyes tho. But you are right. When Popeyes is good, they are dang good.

[@bpd8426]

Right, and Raising Caines is the other chicken joint with really consistent good food. I live in Baton Rouge, and I am astounded how big Raising Caines has gotten. We have a 24hr one by LSU college stays busy.

[@Gutslinger]

Well, Chick-Fil-A will be taking a nosedive in the future, at the result of their recent hiring policy change.

[@Gutslinger]

@@dalemoore8582 About 5 months ago, people discovered that have a DEI position in their company. There were videos about it at the time, though KZbin isn't showing good ones to me when I search for them now. Perhaps search a Chik-Fil-A video by Brett Cooper, or someone similar.

[@hawkuser604]

Chik-Fil-A has mastered food and customer service. Always a long line, but never more than a few minute wait. There are some funny videos about their employees being so kind on you tube. Always very polite employees, went there one day when I was pretty broke and asked for the cheapest thing on the menu ( in Indiana) and the staff could tell I wasn't doing so well and gave me a free meal. God Bless them. There are still good people out there.

[@zay8631]

Few minutes might be a bit of a stretch it definitely takes a little longer then that😂but they definitely are quick and efficient

[@skyfire007]

Have they remodeled the Chick-Fil-A where you are in Indiana?? They have been remodeling the ones so far in certain parts of Ohio due to excessive drive-thru times to add more drive thru lanes with the amount of traffic going there. - - particularly the one close by me. I've only been to it about 4 times in its 5 years since its opening as its in a restaurant strip and has been ridiculously busy more than any eating joint since it got there. They had shut it down for 6 months to remodel and re-opened back in the spring and they just re-opened another one in another location just last month for the same reason. Along with shutting one down in Columbus back in August to re-open some time in February. I have not been there since it re-opened, but its wild the amount of people that goes to Chick-Fil-A.

[@jovetj]

I've never been that impressed with Chik-Fil-A's food. It's good, but it's not o-face worthy.

[@jaycopeland3697]

The food is great, but you can't beat the service, and that helps a lot. Nobody wants to eat somewhere with rude employees

Arnold Palmer was trademarked I believe by the golfer and sold the rights to Arizona Tea prior to death so I think that is why they use Sunjoy. Also if I’m not mistaken the Sunjoy uses sweet tea and an Arnold Palmer uses unsweetened

[@hyperlifestyle5877]

What makes Chic-fil-A come out on top over other fast food joints is the fact that they are consistently good. Others are hit and miss. Also their level of customer service should be industry standard. Also fun fact Chic-fil-A makes more money per store than any other fast food place including McDonalds, which says a lot considering they have less on the menu and are also closed on Sundays.

[@gobucs7870]

What lol..They make like 18bil McDonald's 48 bil..

No question, the chicken fil a here in Lexington SC is consistently packed with cars, but they get the cars through the drive thru like a well oiled machine. It does help when you have a limited menu.

During Covid lockdown when they started vaccinations, one center enlisted the help of a Chic fil A manager to help with the line. Brought the wait down from 2 hrs to 15 min.

[@sherrit1964]

I love Polynesian sauce! It’s my favorite ❤️

[@zacm9747]

They're really cut from a different cloth than McDonald's or some place like that. I've heard their interview process is pretty tough, compared to other fast food places. You have to have references that can vouch that you're basically a good person.

[@craigpaul623]

Maybe I am the weird one, but I always thought they didn't put any sauce on their sandwiches because you were supposed to add the sauce you wanted from the packets. Mix and match to meet any mood.

[@DudeBricks_]

I thought so too

[@stevenkitchens4904]

Ditto, classic sandwich with mayo packet and a packet of Texas Pete.

[@hayleyam28]

Well, it is a juicy and flavorful piece of chicken on a buttered bun, so it really doesn't *need* a sauce. But I do like Chick-fil-A sauce on mine. But I also usually upgrade to the multi-grain bun because it holds up to sauce (and extra pickles) better.

[@Yoyomo124]

Oh for sure that’s an unspoken rule.

[@thomaswalker1539]

They came out with the sauces for the nuggets. Prior to that, I don’t remember any sauces,

[@cmatt1982]

The Chic fila sauce is basically honey mustard with a splash of BBQ sauce. You can buy it by the bottle online. We get it at our local grocery store and always have two bottles on hand. We make some and call it awesome sauce. Isn’t quite the same but it’s really good.

[@brentj.peterson6070]

[@patrickchilds9620]

Instantaneous.

[@emerald637]

Chick-fil-A offers a variety of different sauces so that you can choose which one you would like to put on your chicken sandwich. The sandwiches are not supposed to be eaten without a sauce unless that is how you personally like it. The same thing goes for your fries: Ketchup, ranch, honey mustard, etc., or nothing at all if you prefer your fries plain. The one item I was hoping that you have ordered was Chick-fil-A's milkshakes. They are really delicious! Especially their fresh peach milkshake offered during summertime. Yum!! Perhaps on your next visit to the USA.

[@redmatrix]

It's Honey Roasted BBQ for me. I put that on the fries and the sandwich. I use 2 on the sammich and 3 for a large fries.

One thing about Chick-Fil-A, you can be the 20th car in line at the drive thru and still get your order within 10 minutes or so, no matter how large an order. However, you can be the 3rd car in line at McDonald's and you'll be lucky to get out of there in a half hour.

[@tykroner1133]

I agree with the general statement of the drive thru for Chick-Fil-A, but I have to say, the McDonalds by my house is the fastest drive thru (consistently) I’ve ever experienced. It’s so fast, that on most occasions, they’re literally holding your bag of food out the window as you pull up. But it’s definitely the outlier haha

Yeah i hate that ehy corrected themselves. Like yeah we call them sandwiches in America but they shouldn’t have to feel wrong because what they call it is just as valid

[@jonadabtheunsightly]

@@casswashwash1070 Think of it as clarifying what they mean. They get a lot of views from America, and a lot of Americans, especially ones who haven't been with their channel for long, would not be _aware_ of that use of the word "burger" and would start wondering things like "Wait, they also got burgers? I didn't see that..." For those viewers, the on-screen clarification, that they are in fact talking about the chicken sandwiches, can be helpful.

[@imbateman]

The simple explanation is that a burger is meat and fat ground/minced formed into a patty and cooked. No bread is required for it to be a burger, (but obviously assumed.) if you take the meat out of a chicken sandwich it’s a chicken breast. If you take the meat out of a burger sandwich, it’s still a burger.

[@jonadabtheunsightly]

@@imbateman Etymologically, "burger" is short for "hamburger", which is in turn a shortening of "hamburger sandwich" meaning, a sandwich made with hamburger as the principle ingredient, other than the bread. (There is a persistent folk etymology that hamburgers are called that because a traveler brought them back from Hamburg, but that's skipping steps. Ground beef is called "hamburger" for reasons involving Hamburg, but the sandwich came along later, elsewhere.) So _originally_ other types of sandwiches were not burgers. The meaning has broadened over time at different rates in different geographical areas. In the Midwest, for example, -burger as a suffix is used somewhat more broadly ("sausageburger", "steakburger", "buffalo burger", "turkeyburger", or even "soyburger"), but "burger" on its own still consistently means that the main ingredient is some kind of ground beef. It *can* be a higher grade than hamburger as such (e.g., if it's made with ground chuck, we still call it a burger), but if it's made with something else entirely, we always specify that, e.g., if the main ingredient is turkey, we call it a "turkeyburger" not simply a "burger". If you invite your friends over for "burgers" and then serve soyburgers, your list of friends is going to get shorter. But the expansion in meaning has gone differently in other geographical areas.

[@cygnetseven]

Most countries call anything on a bun, a "burger". Esp in Asia. It was confusing to me when I first encountered it. In America the term burger is short for hamburger and only used when referring to a sandwich with beef patties. Even a meatloaf sandwich or a steak sandwich is not a burger.

“Bash it, smash it.” You guys are so cute! And the NZ kids trying Walmart snacks video was totally adorable! Pure childhood joy. And using their toes as part of their rating; couldn’t be better!

One thing I wish you had is a peppermint milk shake but they only have them at Christmas time. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

The Chick-fil-a sauce is available in grocery stores. It is one of the only condiments that I use at home

[@thescott7539]

yep. I have bottle in my fridge alongside a polynesian sauce (the best IMO). I thgink you can also get the BBQ sauce, but there are tons of those I prefer that are cheaper and better than theirs (not that its bad, just more competition)

[@joemanco5864]

I bought some on a lark, very good! my fav is kinda weird, on a plain cheese quesadilla, it just works somehow.

[@ideagirl]

Yes. I buy it at the grocery store. There is some in my fridge now!

[@LoriL010]

I put the Chick Fil A sauce on the regular sandwich and Garden Herb Ranch on my spicy sandwich. And their Avacado Lime Dressing on my salads. You guys have only tried chicken places so far. I hope you tried Whataburger too!

[@99Boozer]

We love chic fil a.. but the chicken places are different enough that you can choose depending on what you're craving that day.

Pimento cheese is a cheese spread that is really popular in the South. The pimentos are the red things. (I think it's a certain type/way of preparing red bell peppers). You can probably find pimento cheese in all 50 states, but there's going to be much more variety in the South. How people eat it is different, too. I moved to the Midwest in my early teens, and up here people mostly eat it on crackers or inside celery. When I mention a pimento cheese sandwich, which is how I grew up eating it, people look at me like I have three heads.

[@jbwetzstein]

I ate so many pimento cheese sandwiches at my grandmother’s house growing up. I still love them, but Price’s brand is full of junk.

[@laurenparsons6755]

@jbwhetstone That was one of the hardest things to get used when I moved to the Midwest as a teenager. Luckily, living down South for 20+ years, my mom learned how to make it, and she would make it whenever I was homesick. A few years ago a brand called Palmetto Cheese made its way up here. Way more expensive than in GA/SC, but worth it!

Fil-A sauce is literally just Barbecue-Honey Mustard with a little bit of lemon and mayo. Very easy to make at home too.

[@averydean63]

I always get the Spicy Chicken Deluxe with pepperjack cheese combo from there. I do understand the whole dry part. which is why i put ketchup on it. i get milkshakes usually, but their Coke for some reason is better than most other fast food places

[@PsalmS-vi8zl]

Have all three restaurants in my town but always return for CFA's Spicy Chicken Sandwich with a slice of Pepper Jack cheese on it. Their customer service is tops as well. Glad you were able to check them out! 🙂

[@tinahairston6383]

My favorite from Chick-Fil-A are the nuggets. Always get the Polynesian sauce with the Chick-Fil-A sauce a close 2nd. Waffle fries are nasty once they get cold so I usually eat them on the drive home, lol. MUST have the lemonade which they now sell in individual bottles. You can buy their tea and lemonade in gallon jugs as well. They're wraps are very good, too. For breakfast, the chicken minis all the way. Chicken nuggets in a small yeast roll with honey butter?? BRING IT!

[@bufordteejustice1119]

Tea and lemonade is a half and half. They are great. The frozen lemonade is the best.

[@Ryan.S924]

Chick-fil-A sauce in EVERYTHING!!! it’s a must. Spicy #2 with a side of Mac and cheese!! And about 4 sauces!

[@bethcopeskey4697]

chick fila is a delicacy here. The best chicken ever, so good us southerners call it "The Lord's Chicken" 😂😂

[@Wiley_Coyote]

I'm wondering if that label has just as much to do with the Closed Sunday thing, and the very public religious beliefs of the owners.

[@revertedrf978]

literally yeah lol@@Wiley_Coyote

[@daledonaldson3672]

Plus contributing to organizations actively fighting to take rights away from lgbtq Americans. And if you honestly think their chicken is a “delicacy”, one could effectively argue that you don’t eat out often.

Hello from Michigan! Although I try not to eat fast food a lot I love Chick-fil-A their grilled nuggets are my favorite along with their kale slaw!

[@MatthiaGryffine]

The enthusiasm here is contagious!

[@alec9722]

I order chick fil a for lunch and came across this video which was so cool I felt like I was eating with you guys 😂😂 glad you’re loving America 🇺🇸 we love you

[@SeanMurphy74]

My fav is the spicy chicken, take off the bun, drop the chicken into the pouch, empty 1 buffalo and 1 ranch packet in, seal and shake it up, open and reapply the bun...homerun! Glad you are enjoying it all!

[@mickyo7171]

The Southwest salad with salsa dressing is the best. After trying that salad during one of my visits, it’s the only thing I order from there (for lunch or dinner). The egg white breakfast sandwich ranks at the top!

[@Jaketheaxman]

When they upload a chick fil a video on a Sunday That had to have been on purpose but even if it wasn't its still hilarious

Aussie here who spends a bit of time in the US. While you're in Texas, you NEED to go to a Buc-ee's! After seeing your reaction to Walmart, Buc-ee's will blow your mind!

[@imbateman]

It’s interesting to see your opinions here. Sandwiches are new to Popeyes. Popeyes is known for fried chicken, biscuits, and sides. Chick-fil-A was founded on sandwiches and waffle fries. For me they are totally different cravings. I’m 100 percent Chick-fil-A for a sandwich and fries, (fast food style meal,) and 100 percent Popeyes for more of a full meal to eat at a table with your family. The “crown and jewel” of a chicken place is NOT the sandwich in the USA.

[@mathewfuqua9513]

For me Chick-Fil-A never disappoints!

[@JTLormand]

OMG..... their spicy chicken biscuit sandwich's for breakfast is amazing, i'm sooooo glad they brought that back!

[@homerthompson416]

The CFA sauce is what really makes this place for me. I always tell the manager of the one I go to that I could put that sauce on my boot and it would taste good.

[@nolove175]

You guys are awesome. Video are great

[@mishaa7263]

i always got bbq sauce my whole life and I recently tried chick fil a sauce for the first time & got hooked 😂😂 no wonder ppl freaked out when there was a shortage

[@FreeOpenTruth]

You guys are making me so hungry for Chic-fil-A !!!! There is even one right down my street.....but its Sunday and they are closed!!! 😥😢😭

[@rackmo1]

Oh Man! You guys are in for a treat!

[@CPNSTRAdiction5925]

For me between popeyes and chick fil a it's all about the chicken whether it's nuggets or sandwich. And for me hands down chick fil a is the best fast food chicken. SO GOOD.

[@sandylee9564]

It's fun to see the whole family when their eyes light up and they are about to try something different....really different.

Chik fil A has the best Mac n cheese! Also the employees are always super nice.
