I chose 4 chicken tenders and slaw. They cooked the chicken as I waited. They gave me my order and I was surprised. I had anticipated the chicken fingers provided by most establishments. These were twice the size and the tub of slaw was also generous. I ate two of the fingers and half the tub of slaw and felt satisfied. The chicken was fresh, crispy, hot and juicy. The slaw was vinegar and mayo based and had a smooth creamy flavour with a hint of tartness from the vinegar. All in All a very nice meal.

And good thing I did! I looked at the menu and honestly wanted to order everything cause it all sounds good. I don't eat much so I went with the two piece chicken tenders kids meal. The lady who took my order said they have a regular chicken tenders meal but I said I wanted the kids meal cause I don't eat a lot. She then said "It's the same amount of food." which, ok cool, but I don't think that should be said cause they can lose out on money. Just my opinion. And FYI, I very often get kids meals cause I really don't eat a lot. Not trying to save money or anything. The meal came with two chicken tenders, sauce, fries and a drink. Fries were good. Nothing to complain about. Those tenders tho.....YUM!!! So much flavor. And the ranch I got with it....yes! Not sure when I'll be in Birmingham again but I will 100% go back and try other items!

She thought her chicken was tough. I got two different styles of beer and they were tasteless. I might as well ordered a Bud Light. And, of course, the music was way too loud.

They have both indoor and outdoor seating, and since it was such a beautiful day, we decided to enjoy the patio. However, I took off a star because not a single staff member shared how things work there! After being told we could sit anywhere, we found ourselves just waiting without any guidance. At last, a server delivered food to the table next to ours, which prompted us to ask why no one had come to us. She was super apologetic and handed us menus while explaining that we need to go to the register to order and pay first, and then we'd get a number for our table. As for drinks, if you want an adult beverage, you have to order those separately at the bar. You'd think there'd be some signage indicating the process since it's a bit different from the usual! But let's talk about the food! We split the shrimp & grits and chicken & pancakes. While I usually prefer my grits creamy, I still found the shrimp mix to be tasty! The pancake was a tad thick for my liking, but the fried chicken was definitely the highlight--it was absolutely delicious! Oh, and the Hennessy Margarita? Totally on point! Overall, this place is definitely worth a visit!

Chick-fil-A at UAB is one of the most dependable dining options on campus, especially when I'm looking for something quick and healthier. My go to order is the grilled chicken nuggets and they never disappoint. The nuggets are flavorful, tender, and seasoned well without being greasy, which makes them a great alternative to fried options. They're filling without making you feel weighed down, which is perfect when you still have classes or studying to get through afterward. What I really appreciate is how consistent the quality is, even during busy lunch hours. The grilled nuggets are always cooked properly and served hot, which isn't always guaranteed at campus dining spots. Pairing them with a side salad or fruit cup makes it easy to put together a balanced meal on the go. The staff at this location are friendly and efficient, keeping the line moving despite how crowded it gets during peak times. While seating can be limited during rush hours, ordering through the app helps save time. Overall, Chick-fil-A at UAB stands out as a reliable campus option, and the grilled chicken nuggets are a solid choice for students looking for a healthier, satisfying meal. read more

I ended up waiting 40 minutes for my food, only to receive overcooked nuggets. Chick-fil-A is usually great, but this location doesn't live up to the company's standards. I would recommend improving their system to get food out faster, adding more staff, or simplifying the menu to just sandwiches and nuggets.
