    Chick-fil-A in El Monte might be the easiest fast food stop I've ever made in my life. It literally sits right between the off ramp and on ramp for the 10 freeway, which feels almost too convenient, and somehow still manages to have the biggest parking lot I've ever seen for a fast food spot. I expected the dining room to be massive because of that, but even with more modest seating there was still plenty of room to eat comfortably. As expected, the food was consistently delicious and tasted exactly like Chick-fil-A should. The service lived up to the reputation too, fast, friendly, and genuinely pleasant. It's one of those locations that feels engineered for efficiency, and honestly it works.

    I love chick fil a but man they have to do better with their portions of fries. I always order up to a large when getting a combo because I'm used to them not filling it up. But yesterday was the worse it's ever been. I got home to enjoy my food and was visibly shocked to see my fries. It was as if I ordered a small and for the up charge for a large I think it's just ridiculous. Do better chick fil a. I took pictures before I took a single fry and it's just horribly sad can't believe they do this!!

    Probably the first time I got crispy chicken from chickfila. Maybe I just haven't been going to the right place! Very happy with this new el monte chickfila. Great addition to the neighborhood. Love waffle fries, although not always the crispiest, but it's the inner child in me! Love that the menu is always solid. AND I could order plain chicken nugs for my dog.

    Love Chick-fil-A and this location. Had to run a couple errands in the specific area and enjoyed breakfast here. As always, the staff is welcoming and professional. So happy the iced coffee cups are now a bigger size, I need my caffeine!

    The outside parking and drive thru.
    Drew Q.

    Don't understand the low score here. Most Foch negative reviews are from the first months of this location opening. So I think maybe they have worked out their kinks. The food is the same as other locations which is pretty good , great customer service and the place is clean with plenty of parking. This location has a good number of tables outside as well if you want to dine outside.

    Not 3 pieces of bacon.
    K. G.

    This is not 3 pieces of bacon. Managers arguing that it was. This is 1 and a 1/3 maybe. Half slices of bacon is not a full slice of bacon. This location needs improving.

    pleasant experience with the drive thru and all ! thursday afternoon with no wait and i like how it's so much bigger than other locations! and it's exactly off the 10 west/ east freeways so v convenient

    Old lettuce
    Brandy R.

    I have visited this location exactly 5 times already. Every single time it has been a mess. The lettuce in my salad was disgusting. The first time I complained all they did was give me a complimentary breakfast item that I don't even like or eat. All I wanted was my money back, not go back for another mess up .

    The view outside when you're eating.

    I've been here a grand total of twice…read more My first experience was problem free. Kudos. The second visit "could've been better" (which Yelp suggests that a 2 star rating would be appropriate to indicate): we placed quite a simple order - 2x Strawberry Sundaes. We took our number placard (#52) and sat at a table to await our order. After patiently waiting what I would estimate to be approximately 15-20 minutes and seeing quite a few other people served their orders, I did find it odd that it was taking so long to prepare 2x sundaes, so I located the young man who took our order and politely inquired about it. He looked a bit confused, exchanged some unintelligible words one of the guys on the grill, and then looked back at me and said it was not our turn yet (or something to that effect). Okay, fair enough. Maybe there were many orders ahead of us. I took it in good stride and went back to my table. After waiting approximately another 15-20 minutes and seeing that *Order #70* was being given their food, I realized that there was a problem and went back up to the ordering counter. I ended up talking with an old man (who I presume is the owner/manager). I explained the situation, and he inquired who had taken our order. I looked around, and the young man appeared to be nowhere in sight, but I did mention it was he who had had taken our order. The old man apologized and assured us he would take care of our order right away. Sure enough, I saw him beeline to the ice cream machine to start our sundaes, and he delivered them to us within 2-3 minutes. He apologized a second time, stating that it was the young man's 2nd day on the job, and that he otherwise would not have forgiven the transgression. In my experience, the resolution to the absurd wait could have been handled worse (in theory, the old man could certainly have told us to pound sand rather than apologizing and immediately attempting to correct the problem and quickly getting our desserts after being made aware of his employee's failure), but also could have been handled better (comping us for the trivial cost of the sundaes as a remedy/cure would have more effectively salved our irritation from the unnecessary waste of 30+ minutes of our life, and would have been in-line with remedial efforts I have experienced at other eateries, including similar fast food/burger joints). All that said, the sundaes were quite good. They would undoubtedly have tasted better had they been served in a time frame reasonable enough to not spoil the mood. I get that this is not a fine dining restaurant of any sort, but I still expect staff competence to be no worse than that of a McDonald's baseline level. I also get that humans make mistakes, but ... how did a simple order of 2x sundaes get botched this badly, particularly after a good faith attempt to bring the matter to staff's attention??

Tonight we decided to switch things up a little, and hubby ordered the bacon cheeseburger. Normally we prefer the quarter-pound patty, but this one was slightly thicker, which definitely made us feel full a lot quicker. That said, the burger was still super juicy, had the right filling-to-meat ratio, and came on that perfectly soft bun that holds everything together without falling apart. Solid choice. I stuck with my usual chicken breast salad, and it was delicious as always. Fresh, satisfying, and dependable -- although I'll admit I'm still not a fan of bell peppers, so those got politely pushed to the side. One thing I have noticed over time is that the fries seem to be getting a little smaller in portion each visit. I also miss the thicker-cut fries from about six months ago -- those were my favorite. The current ones still do the job, but the old style definitely had my heart. Overall, this is still a definite must-try spot if you're craving a good burger. Consistent, satisfying, and always hits the spot. Happy eats!

    Oof so much to say about the Pastrami breakfast burrito here…read more I stooped by Sunday morning to a decent breakfast crowd but my order was taken within 3 minutes of walking in. The cashier was nice but maybe she's new because she couldn't believe I wanted tater tots in my breakfast burrito instead of the homestyle potatoes. She asked me 4 times if that's what I wanted and then called a manager over to ask her too. It was just a super odd moment. The pastrami breakfast burrito is about $15 and it's a great size. Once I started digging in I immediately noticed issues. The pastrami was tough, fatty, stringy, and so overly salty. The tots were crispy but the first half of the burrito was just that - pastrami and tots. I actually got worried thinking they forgot the egg and cheese until I cut half way and realized all the egg and cheese was piled onto one end of the burrito. Why? How? Who taught these guys how to build a burrito? By then I had lost my appetite due to the pastrami but even so, there was hardly any egg and cheese compared to the pastrami. The green salsa too was bad. No flavor whatsoever all you get is the burning sensation from the peppers. I really think they just blended peppers and called it a salsa

It definitely helps to know that they use fresh instead of frozen ingredients. I like that the burgers are very customizable. Personally, I am a fan of a protein style double-double burger with grilled onions and raw onions. Sometimes I'll order their fresh, hand-cut french fries if I'm feeling extra hungry. However, the fries do not taste very good in my opinion. They can be dry and cardboard-like, but adding some spread or ketchup helps make them better. Prices have remained very affordable here. It would be great if they had some indoor seating though. Unfortunately, there is only minimal outdoor seating available.
