All Chick Fil-A restaurants are top notch, but this (Cicero) location is consistently phenomenal! Whenever I'm around Syracuse I come here. I've been here about 15 times. I don't know how the fries here always seem like they were JUST cooked a minute before they are delivered to my table! I love McD's fries but sometimes McD fries are fresh, hot & wonderful; but it's just as likely your McD fries will be old & bitter. read more

Franchise owner from Texas , very disappointed to see that the owner was not using the same grade and quality as the food that we use in South. OVER COOKED , small definitely not you the golden brown , thick Chicken sandwich with the same quality.. those of us from the south are used to getting. Could see the differences before you even pulled it out of the bag ...those of you up in the north wouldn't know the difference..looks and tastes like something from a hamburger Franchise who doesn't sell Chicken sandwich s for a living.. read more

My addiction has followed me all the way to Syracuse. I originally thought they were none of these bad boyz in CNY, but Cicero provided a pleasant surprise to my eyes with that bright red sign. The red illumination of that sign has to come to symbolize the bleeding of my wallet, as I buy one spicy chicken sandwich after another. No matter what your budget is, your bank account is not safe at Chick-fil-A (just kiddin' bruh bruh) You will understand once you have the nuggets or the chicken biscuit, or the chicken sandwich, or the mmm...... Chick-fil-A is known in the South to have the best chicken sandwiches a mere mortal man can buy. The hype surrounding Chick-fil-A is the stuff of legends to some, but to the initiated Chick-fil-A is something more. It is the beginning and end of your diet. I promise you that you will not be able to resist the incessant smell of the waffle fries or the freshly prepared original chicken nuggets. These aromas exercise ungodly influence over you to make good decisions. If you are trying to do better with your eating then maybe you should wait to try out Chick-fil-A until your will is stronger. Actually, you should go get the spicy chicken sandwich meal with lemonade right now. Just give in and don't try to fight. Long live Chick-fil-A. read more

Chick fil A's chicken is the best chicken around, makes KFCs chicken look like woodchips from a playground. Colonel Sanders would be disappointed. Wouldn't consider this food particularly "healthy" but I'd rather have this than the trash that the other places continue to produce. Their Milkshakes can easily contend with Cheesecake Factory's, Five Guys, and even the place which prides themselves for their dairy, Dairy Queen. I don't know why, but it seems the days I truly crave some Chick-fil-A, it always ends up on S U N D A Y S, Jesus's day off. But I can't blame them I think the man deserves a break too. read more

Chick-fil-A - Fast Food Near Me - Cicero, New York

The only other time I've been to a Chick-fil-A was in a mall when i was in Atlanta. There it was nothing special. Here though, it was a different story. Maybe it was because this location was just recently opened six or so months before we visited? Maybe it was because it was in an actual brick and mortar location? I'm not sure. But either way, I loved it. There was a line almost out the door when we arrived. The line moved rather quickly and within five minutes they were taking our order. Once our order was made we picked a place to sit and they brought out food out to us. This was something new we've never experienced in a "fast food" location. The food was hot, fresh, and juicy. All of our orders were correct (we're talking two adults and three kids here people). All of the staff were very friendly and checked to see if we needed anything (extra sauces/napkins) more than once (but not to the point where it was annoying). The store itself was VERY clean. There was someone cleaning up continuously during our time there. The bathrooms were also very clean (which is something I look for) and well stocked. If we are ever in the area we would absolutely go and get some amazing chicken. read more

So I stopped into chick-fil-a in north syracuse. Turns out it's right next to KFC. Long line and I can not justify the wait. I say let's do KFC. No line. Go figure. We order 1 grilled nuggets, 1 kids nuggets and a grilled chicken. Ka-Ching! $21. Are you kidding me. Better be really good and plenty of it. I can get a bucket at KFC for that. The order shows up at our table. The 6 nuggets look like clam strips they are so small. The grilled nuggets are in a microscopic box. I have been to chic-fil-a before and never had a small portion like this. The grilled chicken sandwich was dry and tasted over cooked. Look at the pictures. Basically had to feed my boy and wife again. Only the shakes were decent but they are just soft ice cream stirred up. My experience here was terrible. I'd had sought out manager but it was a madhouse. Needless to say I won't go back. Get a 3 piece at KFC for same price for a full meal. Had a nice kid play area and plenty of parking read more

I've wanted to patronize this Chick-fil-A for months now, but every time I drove by the lines were way too long. So I patiently waited and it paid off when we finally were able to drive right up to the ordering area. Talk about unreal service, they had super nice young people waiting for you, to take your order. They all seemed happy and so sweet! I place my order, drove up to pay, and everything was ready. BOOM. I brought chicken sandwiches and strips home to Buffalo since we don't have this chain yet! Ask for honey roasted BBQ. It's the best sauce they have. read more

In all fairness, I don't review many chain restaurants nor do I review fast food really at all with rare exception. But since this is a new place that is making its first Upstate NY location near me. I had to give it a go. I have had Chick Fil A in the past in other places so it wasn't completely new to me. But I wasn't blown away by the food I had then. And not much has changed in that regard. It is better than average fast food. A lot like how I feel about five guys and other places of the sort. What is giving this place extra stars is their staff currently on hand at opening. The grand opening of the cicero location was 2/22/18. So at the time of my visit. They have been open 6 days, and this place was an absolute madhouse. Shoulder to shoulder in the building. Full parking lot and a line of cars 30-40 deep in the drive thru. But it's one of Naomi's favorites fast food wise. So we waited out the 45 minutes in line and I got myself what they call their Chick Fil A Deluxe sandwich. A crispy chicken filet with lettuce and tomato and cheese, with some waffle fries, and a frozen lemonade drink. It was the same chicken I'd had elsewhere which I'll agree with the masses. Is a well done piece of chicken far better than you'll get from a KFC or Popeyes. Juicy and crunchy and the seasonings they use wherever they flash freeze them and ship them to stores is good. Fresh veg and a soft steamed roll. Classic chicken sandwich done right. The waffle fries are crisp and something a little different than you'll get somewhere else with shoestring fries. One thing I will say is I've had their fresh squeezed and their frozen lemonade now. And those are superb quality. Fresh squeezed Just like the fair grounds makes it. And the frozen is a creamy lemonade treat that tastes like a lemon creamsicle when they add the whipped cream. That's unique to the place. The extra stars that put this place above average I'll reiterate goes to the staff. This place is a zoo right now and they are all younger people taking it in stride and of the 3-4 people I heard nothing but thank you and smiles. They have to be genuinely exhausted with this rambunctious opening that according to them has been bigger than the NYC opening. And that says a lot for a medium sized city. I wish them the best of luck. And since the girl loves this place. I'm sure we will be back. I just hope not having to wait almost an hour next time! read more

Chick-fil-A - CFAD and waffle fries. Classic fast food fair done well - Fast Food Near Me - Cicero, New York

I was very impressed how delicious this place was. This review is a 5 star in the fast food category. This isn't meant be compared to a regular restaurant. I had heard really good things about them and kept asking what in the world could be the difference between them and every other chicken fast food place I have eaten at. I was definitely incorrect to assume they are all made the same. Their friend chicken sandwich is so freaking good! The chicken is piping hot and crunchy, the bread is so soft, and everything is so fresh! I love the waffle fries so much! I have to ask myself why it has taken me so long to eat here. Another really unique thing is their sauces. I am a huge sauce guy and typically make my own out of a few. I don't need to do that here. They have bbq, honey mustard, their amazing special sauce, and so many more! I highly recommend coming here. you WON't regret it! read more

Excellent, line moves fast, a tad expensive for what it is. I noticed that when I'm down south the manager typical visits the tables offers more sauses and drink refills. Didn't experience this in the there visits in Cicero read more

Good food, people and service. Glad to finally have s chic fil a in Syracuse NY. Line moved quick and food came out fast. read more

Chick-fil-A - Great food, people and service. Happy to finally have chic fil a in Syracuse NY. Line moved quick. - Fast Food Near Me - Cicero, New York

Slow service and it's just chicken fingers. Milkshakes are good though. I only stop on Sundays

Chick-fil-A is pretty awesome. I take my daughter there to play after we eat lunch together, much healthier than other fast food options and I don't feel grossed out feeding her the chicken nuggets. My favorite is the spicy deluxe meal and a large fry (to share with my daughter) definitely a comfortable restaurant you can bring the family to. read more

decided to use the mobile app during the grand opening week.... did not disappoint ordered at the house notified them when I was their 8-10 min later got my food, now 8-10min wait for my food let me clarify I ordered lunch during breakfast knowing I would have to wait up to 15 min. GREAT JOB food was awesome staff was very very friendly all said and done great experience and will be going back more. The frosted lemonade was different but good best described as a lemonade milk shake. The mobile app for ordering is the way to go for sure! This experience was just as good as the one when I first tried them In Kentucky. read more

If you've never had Chick-fil-A, it's a must try. Familiar with this southern fast-food chicken restaurant, I too was excited we were getting one, and close to home!! Some say it's just another chicken place, but most, like myself, love the freshness, the sauces, the waffle fries, the shakes, the speed of service, the consistency of quality, and this one does not disappoint. I went in the first two weeks, line roped through the parking lot and onto the road, but a half hour later, the smile on my face was justly rewarded. Go, decide, and maybe I will see you there..... Still haven't had a breakfast there so another review awaits. read more

This place is fantastic!! It was peak time and and they took my order and I was immediately served. They even had an employee walking around handing out straws, napkins or whatever else you may be missing. There was tons of parking and plenty of seating. The bathrooms were perfectly clean. The food was fresh and hot. We will definitely be back! read more

This is literally amazing healthy food really good fountain drink would definitely recommend Chick fil A

Finally we have chick-fil-a in Syracuse! I'm a southern girl so when I'm in the mood for fast food I want chick fil a, zaxbys, steak and shake, or bojangles. This is my go to for a simple chicken sandwich and a lemonade. When it's peach milkshake season watch out. That stuff is delicious. Lines are still pretty long about a month after opening but they staff very well and the food comes out quick and fresh. read more

Very pleased with every time I've been there. Staff is beyond friendly and food is ALWAYS DELICIOUS!! Never dissatisfied!

Just about the only good choice if you're looking for fast food in the North Syracuse area. I mean, yeah it's simple fried chicken sandwiches, but add in their special sauces, fast and friendly service, and affordable prices and I'm not sure why you'd want fast food anywhere else. read more

The best way to describe this place is fresh fast food. If you've ever had fast food chicken you'd know that it's not great- however chick-fil-a chicken is different. It's fresh and tastes like actual chicken. The chicken sandwiches are your best option, but the tenders are another good choice. The milkshakes are made of real ice cream rather than fake flavored stuff. The iced tea is delicious and fresh brewed. Same with the coffee. The waffle fries are crispy and mouth watering with the sea salt .. don't forget to try the chick-fil-a sauce! This place has been open for about one month and they hype, and lines have not died down. Every time you drive by. Be prepared to wait anywhere from 10-25 minutes for your food. The restaurant is extremely clean and well managed. They also have polite and friendly service which is unlike any other fast food place. The fast, friendly, and efficient service, combined with a fresh delicious twist on fast food earns this place my vote. Only one negative, and that's if you DO NOT like chicken then there really isn't anything else other than french fries on the menu for you lol. read more

It's Chick-fil-A... always decent service and good food. It's my pleasure to serve you.

Chick-fil-A don't waste your time sitting in line there are way better places like Kentucky fried chicken this place is a fad eventually it will fade out read more

I don't get the hype it's just a chicken sandwich and no sauce. Fries not crispy. Go to any diner and get a better chicken Sandwich.

Always a pleasure dining at this restaurant. I'm glad they finally open a location here! The crowd is still fairly busy depending on the time you go! There is a kids play room and plenty of seating inside and outside. There is also a drive thru for quicker service! But the food is always the best quality! The food comes out very quick, as soon as you find a seat, the food is already coming out! The chicken is moist and delicious! The waffle fries are perfectly salted! The chicken wrap and Southwest salad are healthy delicious alternatives as well! Try the sweat tea, frozen coffee or lemonade for a great beverage with your meal! The service is always great and the facility very clean! read more

Great food! Exceptional, polite, professional, well trained, courteous and friendly staff!! Literally everytime!! Thank you! read more

Easy Keto Fresh Grilled Nuggets, Kale Crunch, and a side salad. Oh, and don't forget the sugar free Lemonade! If need it, a Gluten Free Roll is available for your meal too. So nice!! Ruth our team member was cheery, helpful, pleasant, and accommodating. There was also a gentleman diligently wiping down the surfaces so that the diners could eat in a clean environment. He was hard working as well as the tall young man who brought our order to the table. They never stopped! She definitely made our day better wishing me well in my native tongue. read more

The COVID-19 pandemic has really hit us all. These stressful times have made me one hungry guy. Good thing Chick-fil-A's curbside pickup catered to my starvation. I ordered and within the quarter hour I received my chicken sandwich and fries. Thanks Chick-fil-A! read more

The only Chick Fil A in town! They always have something going on here for families and the community! Food is always fast and fresh!

I love believing in Jesus u should go ask a chick fil a worker about god they will have something good to say no hate lol btw its good go for the food too not just the Jesus read more

Not really sure what the big deal is here. chicken is very salty, nothing has a whole lot of flavor except for salt, I definately will keep going to panera, or chipoltle over this place. read more

What can I say, it's Chick-fil-A so it's delicious and the employees are always friendly. We always go when we are in the Syracuse area!

I literally love this place I had it for the first time about a year ago and I get extra on Saturday night just to have some on Sunday !!!!

Consistently fast, fresh, and friendly no matter the lines, time of day or weather. Awesome chicken sandwich (of course). Love the waffle fries. Chicken strips over nuggets every time. A+ read more

Tried this place twice. Unimpressed. The chicken is just ok, nothing special unless you don't eat good/great food often. Waffle fries cold both times and basic. The whole drive-thru experience where a person takes your order outside is a mess. Last visit, I placed my order with one guy and guy in front of me (different order taker and customer) took 10 minutes to order (no idea why) so I sat behind them waiting, and waiting more to eventually drive by him as HE tried to take my order, then get to the window for my cold food. Overrated. Will never be back. read more

I mean it's chick-Fil-a, of course it's amazing and the staff is fantastic! You will never leave feeling hungry or upset!

I have to admit I was not going to spend any money at this restaurant based on their hate of the lgbtq community but my son had never been so we went. The experience was amazing for the hey y'all greeting to them remembering and using my name at the window, the service was outstanding. The food was as awesome as I remembered from the out of state one I went to before. The vegetables jn the sandwich were fresh as well as the fruit in the kids fruit cup. Worth the long line wait. read more

Okay so I absolutely love Chick-Fil-A! I have been so excited since I found out you were coming to Central NY. I went on the grand opening and even though waiting in the drive through line for about 2 hours that did not matter to me. So tonight I decided to try the mobile ordering app. I placed my order and it told me to tell them when I was there at the store and they would then prepare my order. I ordered 40 nuggets between five people. I placed all of the sauces that everyone wanted and then placed my order and I was on my way. I got there and it was kinda chaotic still, which was to be expected and IMO it definitely took less time than the drive through would have taken still. It took about 30 minutes maybe more to get my order and everything was correct, except it was kind of rushed so I was not able to check until I got to my car if everything was correct. I got to my car and there was NO sauces in any of the bags. So I then had to go back and fight my way through the line where I was then given FOUR sauces for 40 nuggets :/ I got home and we stated to eat our food and I then dipped my fry in my ketchup only to receive a long blonde hair attached to my fry....needless to say I did not eat the rest of my fries. But I still love Chick-Fil-A and we will be back and only hoping for it to get better and better each time :) read more

Love the food here. Ever since it came to North Syracuse! I've been waiting for this fast food chain to come. Love the spicy chicken sandwich and of course the beloved waffle fries! Highly recommended! read more

What can I say? This place has a reputation for customer service and good chicken, both are enough for me to drive 25 minutes for special occasion of artery clogging delight. Love the lemonade. Spicy chicken is . Better food and environment than some other local joints that serve chicken foods. Hilariously placed near KFC and Tully's in Cicero. Well done, America. read more
