Fantastic food that is higher quality than the typical chains. Served fast and close to the same prices. Individually owned and operated with tight franchise oversight. Also the faux Twitter outrage has helped give them more popularity.

Politics aside, the food is awesome, fast, and polite. And generally better for you than the major chains... I'm not really sure what MacDonald's actually serves anymore... much less any of the others...

  All of the old chains have launched bigger/better/more expensive food options but it's hard to compete since their reputation and existing customer base knows them for a certain price and quality.

  > Politics aside, the food is awesome, fast, and polite. Is it though? I really don't get it. Chick-fil-A's entire menu consists of unremarkable chicken sandwich variations, and unremarkable... everything else. It's just not very good - at least compared to other fast food options. It doesn't stand out to me. I can't figure out why it stands out to so many other people. I think the push-back against them from LGBTQ activists is really pretty silly. Even still, I know many bleeding hearts who are perfectly aligned with such activists and who regularly patronize Chick-fil-A (but jokingly call it "hate-chicken" or something similar) - but they keep going, and keep spending their money there. Why?!? The food just isn't special or particularly good.

    I think it is pretty good, especially compared to stuff like McDonald's or other fast food. They also have amazing customer service and are consistently fast at getting you your food. I'm curious which fast food chains you think taste better, I'd like to give them a try.

      To me, its just another fast-food chicken sandwich, I guess. IMHO, the sandwiches from every other major chain, including McDonald's, Wendy's, and Burger King are pretty similar. Nothing differentiates the Chick-fil-A sandwich from the others, that would cause me to wait in the long, traffic-stopping lines that form at their restaurants at meal times. It really baffles me.

        If you go to McDonalds or Carl's Jr, there's a big difference between a $1 and $5 burger. Chick-fil-a doesn't have that bottom tier and starts at higher prices with the associated quality. So yea, you can get similar food at the existing chains but it's just not their focus.

        There's no difference in quality between $1 and $5 burgers. They only differ in size and presentation.

    Name a fast food chain besides popeyes that can pull off a better spicy chicken sandwich. Even chick fil a's isn't heavenly (my preference is for a thai take on the sandwich from a local place albeit 3x the cost), but it is head and shoulders above any other chain in that market. There is also something powerful about the spicy chicken sandwich in particular. Every brewpub offers some nashville styled whatever cut of chicken these days. Popeyes is still selling out their sandwiches a half year after release. Howling rays is still getting people to wait for over an hour for a chicken sandwich, and crashed the postmates website when trialed delivery for one day a few months ago.
