Great food, and gluten free options. Fast customer service in both the drive thru and inside. They have without a doubt the BEST shakes!

Super bummed about our fries!! We had a coworker go grab all our food, and I'm not a chik fil a fan- But I figured I would give it a try. So bummed because I do love the fries from here. Better luck next time I guess read more

I sure have eaten a ton of chicken sandwiches lately. From fast food establishments to local mom and pop staples, it seems that poultry between a few buns is what I've been craving lately. In the same breath, not all chicken sandwiches are created equal. So, Chick-fil-A announces their new grilled chicken sandwich and my wife was all over it. She's a Chick-fil-A fan and the announcement of a "healthier" option to one of her faves was all she needed to give it a try and of course I was on board with it. Do yourself a favor, skip it. It's nothing special and in fact we both ended up with upset stomaches after we finished our meals. Anybody with the most minor of kitchen skills can knock out a version as good or better than what they served us, and it ain't cheap either! The only redeeming factor was the amount of Chick-fil-A sauce that they included - now that's delicious! read more

Unprofessional gave attitude not very enthusiastic wasn't listening correct and got my order wrong

No Eggs for Breakfast! They do not have any eggs or egg whites for breakfast. They also don't have anybody outside telling you that so you get stuck in the Drive-Thru line for 30 minutes and not get anything because you went there for breakfast, and surprise. We eat eggs for breakfast. Not just fried chicken. This location needs to learn from every other Chick-fil-A location in the nation. read more

i'm really disappointed in my experience this morning. I placed a breakfast order at 10:25 and immediately headed over to pick up my food. I arrived at 10:32 and was waiting for my order to be placed on the carryout shelf. After I didn't see it for four minutes, I asked, one of the employees if my order was ready. The person let me know that I placed a breakfast order and that they don't serve breakfast after 1030. I told him I placed the order before 1030 so I didn't understand why they couldn't give it to me. They obviously have the food, it seems like bad business to not give the food to the person who purchased the item. I don't understand why they wouldn't just give it to me since I placed the order prior to 1030. It doesn't make sense to me because they lose money by refunding me instead of just giving me the food that they probably had to end up throwing out. Make it make sense. read more

Dont order delivery theyll deliver to wrong address and wont call you. Hope i get my money back.

They never said my pleasure (LOOOLL) but for real, this is probably the worst chick-fil-a I've been to. Order is usually wrong, and the service isn't the greatest here. Don't bother ordering the fries well done, it won't be well done. Told us our straws were in the bag and there was no straws. The next time we stopped by we were given our orders but they almost forgot our orange juice until we asked for it. The sandwich doesn't taste as good as other locations. A little stale and cold. read more

I am constantly awed by the machine-like efficiency of this restaurant. It is not just because it has consistent, fast food but because the people that work there are ALWAYS pleasant. From the folks taking orders to the people making sure I get my order at the window, to the invisible (to me) chef wizards cranking out the delicious food, everyone serves their purpose with a smile. Thank you all for giving me my fix and doing it all while being personable. Even through COVID you all managed to deliver the goods. Thank you! read more

First visit to this location for my favorite spicy chicken sandwich lathered in Chick-Fil-A Sauce. Customer service was quick and friendly. The restaurant was spotless as well as the restrooms. Parking can be a serious challenge during lunch hours so plan on circling. One gripe I do have is that fact that the burgers are getting smaller and they seem to be giving less fries per serving. Four stars, holding back on the fifth star due to the high cost on small portions. read more

My favorite Chick-Fil-A in East County! The staff has yet to get my order wrong and seem to always get my food out quick. Katie B is an absolute rockstar there and has been very helpful every time read more

Okay I looooooveee chick fil a but wth is this? I asked for a large.. there's a reason why I get large fries because I love them and I want more than the regular. I didn't ask for a large to have just the large box and regular fries. I'm kinda disappointed in this location. This is literally what they gave me and on top they added the sauces to make it look full. I call this bs. Okay I jut opened my sandwich to eat it and it's a tiny piece of chicken! I'm seriously so disappointed and never plan on returning to this location read more

Well... their chick fil a sauce with fries is incredible, I get spicy deluxe meal almost every other week, great place for a quick bite!

I absolutely love this place! The workers are always outstanding and kind. The food is also immaculate, and good. The drive-thru can be busy sometimes, but they always do it nice and quick. Now I haven't see the inside of the store, but from a lot of people they say it's nice, but they think it could be better. I definitely recommend this. read more

Chick fil a is just going to take all my damn money at this point lol. The spicy chicken sandwich is where it's at. Although, there are a few other chicken sandwich spots that are better but do not deliver the level of service that chick fil a employees provide imo read more

I just wanna say thank you to everyone who works here who makes this place run so smoothly ! I'm thankful that you guys now deliver for a small fee and you never disappoint. My food has always still been warm by the time it reaches me and I've never had any problems with my order here. you guys are great!! thank you read more

The service is fantastic! Specifically, Collin is the sweetest and most attentive employee!! He always asks if everything tastes good or if we need anything. I would recommend this location any day. read more

Amazing Chick-fil-A spot! I used to live near SDSU and came to this Chick-fil-A all the time. It is in a very convenient location. This specific one is also affiliated with Pocket Points. Great service. I recommend it to everyone! read more

Simply and always outstanding. Parking is always a challenge at busy times, but I have parked at Carl's Jr. and walked to Chick-fil-A. Why? Good and Service are second to none. Fast food done right. read more

I was on the line of drive thru at 10:25am, by the time was going to order it was 10:35 and they said they cannot get breakfast order, and i got stock there for another 10 minutes to come out of drive thru That is their fault not mine read more

This is an In-N-Out caliber fast food chain. With that said, be prepared to wait in line, as this location is pretty busy. We went through drive-thru around 3:30pm on Thursday afternoon, and it took quiet some time. The cool thing is the nuggets and chicken patties from this place are made from fresh white meat :) They offer a solid selection of sauces to complement their food. Some of our favorites are their signature sauce, ranch, and honey mustard. What I LOVE MOST are the waffle fries!! Personally, I think this is what makes them stand out above all those other fast food chains. 4-stars because I refuse to give FF Chains 5-stars. (unless it's In-N-Out). read more

I was automatically greeted by the cashier young man as I entered the restaraunt. He was very PLEASANT throughout my visit. I told him I saw a salad on TV that looked REALLY good. He knows his menu items!! He told me exactly which salad and asked me about dressing. He also let me know which one usually goes with the salad. His smile was contagious & friendly. That's what I am talking about!!!! He made me feel very welcome. I ordered three salads, one for me, the boyfriend & my Son. Thank You always a pleasure to get that great of service. I went there Friday May 13, 2020 around 7:30p.m. read more

Regardless of time of day, line is always bananas. I try to order online ahead but it's pointless. Still waiting over 20mins and then you get stuck in the parking lot as there are only 3 reserved spots for curbside pickup. It's been 25 minutes and I'm still waiting in the middle of a lane waiting for a $3 side salad and have to move every 5 minutes to let someone out... I just want my food :( read more

Parents need to keep their older children who don't know how to behave OUT of the play area.. and management needs to enforce the height restriction! Otherwise why have one! A 9-yr-old smacked my just turned 4-yr old across the face today 10/26. She was WAY over the height limit & had no business being in there & fighting with her 7ish old sister. My son was shoved to the ground & smacked in the face.. he came running out of the tube crying to get me... Then she hid in the play area then tried to lie and blame her little sister. Only when pressed did she admit to hitting him. The manager on duty only told the 9-yr old girl to stay out of the play area & said she couldn't ask the family to leave the restaurant... That's ridiculous!! She assaulted my son! Bad manager decision.!!!!! We left immediately & won't be back. read more

Did curbside here on Monday 8/1 for breakfast. My order was taking a very long time after the app said it was ready. Other people were outside waiting also for a long time. I went to the door and an employee had my food. He first told me they had a lot of orders. The restaurant looked empty inside. Then he said they are short staffed. I bet they were doing nothing rather than bringing out the curbside orders. Avoid this place. read more

11/24/2023 closed at 9pm when the sign clearly says 10pm but I guess they don't make enough money to stay open for the time they post

I've been here many times since and they have not messed up my order once so they seemed to work out the issues from when they first opened! It has to be hard opening and training a whole new staff, but they did a good job bc now all the employees are on top of it. Super friendly staff and the food is always delicious! read more

Had a great experience, and John made it even better! He gave great customer service and had an excellent attitude. Also the food was fire per usual. Will definitely be coming back to this location. read more

Chick-fil-a?!? I thought it was always spelled Chik-fil-a! (que twilight zone theme) *Deeuw deeuw deeuw deeuw Deeuw deeuw deuw* o_O Today was my first time eating here at chik-Fff..I mean CHICK-fil-a. I don't ever usually eat at fast food restaurants but today for 7-11 they were holding a promotion for Cow appreciation day where they were giving out free entrees to anyone and everyone who dressed up like a cow or had on anything cow like. You know damn right I had to jump on that band wagon and with a black sharpie, white paper, and a head band I was all set 8-). Walked in and man I swear cow appreciation day is like a national holiday in America because everyone and their baby's mama was here suited and buited ready to smash on some cheeeeeken. I ordered the grilled chicken club (6.59 but today 0.00). It came on a soft sesame bun with some lettuce, bacon, tomatoes, and pepper jack cheese. The best part about the sandwich was the green leaf lettuce! It definitely made all the difference and gave it a more fresher and healthier taste especially since the chicken was grilled and not fried. I also love their zesty buffalo sauce; it went hand in hand with the sandwich. I'd give this place a 8/10 and everyone that worked here was very friendly and helpful too. Thank you chick-fil-a! read more

Chick-fil-A - Grilled chicken club. The tomatoes and lettuce look so happy :) - Fast Food Near Me - La Mesa, California

First time going through this drive-through and the kids in the backseat are yelling their order at me so I put in the order of chicken nuggets and fries and then add the frosted lemonade. I didn't ask the lady if doing the combo would be better, she says yes. So we do the combo and then she says what drink do you want, I said the frosted lemonade. Drive forward pay the check without paying attention then drive forward to the counter to get the food. Take a peek at the receipt and they up-charge me for french fries and for the drinks. I calmly asked the lady at the front why I was up charged and she told me that it was because I chose a different drink. Well I know this to be true I didn't think about it since it was my first time there and she did not tell me that it was going to be an up charge. I asked to speak to the manager, Josie stumbles to the counter, who as it turns out could care less about the customer and essentially told me that she will take the charge off and not give me the drink or I can keep the charge on if I want the drinks. Well the extra four dollars is not the biggest deal in the world, but it was a good chance to teach a little lesson to the kids in the back. Speak up when you feel something is not right. I told her that her employee should've told me that there was an up charge at which point I could've made that decision but instead know I was holding up the line while she refused to make it right. I told her I would just turn the car off and sit there until she fixed it at which point she immediately refunded the money and gave my kids their drinks. She said next time "you should know better" and then stormed off. Called the proprietor/operator of the restaurant, Rick, but he's yet to call me back after two messages. The food itself tasted fine, however I'm having second thoughts after watching the new documentary, holy chicken. Moral of the story is they think they're too good to have good customer service. As customers we can teach them that we can choose to go elsewhere. read more

Chick-fil-A - Original charge and then five minutes later the refund. - Fast Food Near Me - La Mesa, California

I usually love this location but today. There was a girl taking Drive Thru orders that had our lane held up. I literally watched 8 cars and 2 SUV'S in the lane next to me pass by and this girl was still taking the order of the same vehicle. The sad part is that a Manager stood next to her and allowed our lane to not move. Why could he not have helped her out 5 cars and 1 SUV in, then allow her to try again with every other car. That young Manager was not using his mind. Even a vehicle going to slow and holding up traffic has to pull over and let the traffic pass. read more

I literally couldn't eat the chicken minis here for the second time due to there taste. The bread is fine, it's the chicken that is absolutely nasty. read more

I know this is Chick-fil-A and people will continue to eat here regardless of my review! However, you can't order lunch until 1030 am! I was made to wait 13 minutes until 1030am to order lunch. If my pregnant self wasn't craving a spicy chicken sandwich I would have left. 13 minutes! read more

I had ONE item on my order, a combo of chick strips. They - no exaggeration - screwed up the order FOUR times. The chicken strips were about half the size of KFC for the same price, and they were pathetic looking and greasy. The waffle fries or whatever you call them I could have hung over a straw like a wet dish rag. They were cooked half or less what they should have been. I went home and threw the food away. I didn't even want to go back in line I was so disgusted. Without hesitation, this is the worst rating I have ever given on Yelp. I live very close to this place, 2 minutes or less away, but I will never return. I would rather drive 15-20 minutes to KFC or Raising Canes or even farther to Popeyes. I will never return to any Chick Fil A anywhere. read more

They suck at their mobile orders. I've done it at least 20 times and the majority of the times they start the order when I walk up to the counter...even click I'm here like 5 min before I even get there in an effort to defeat their slow preparation. Update... Tried curbside delivery and watched as 5 vehicles arrived after me and left the drive through. I finally went inside and they gave me my order. Love chik fil a but this place needs better management!!! Went today and waited at the side for lunch to order per the employees request. A large group came in five till and they decided to go ahead and serve lunch. So they told me to get in the back of the line. Thanks for serving the first people last. Idiot employees. read more

Food was good (it's Chic-Fil-A!). Dining room is a MESS. There was a ton of staff on duty. No one policing tables. The floor was terrible. Operator was present and seated in the dining area. read more

The reason you go to chick-fil-a is for the chicken and sauces. I ordered 2x 12 PC chicken nuggets (24 nuggets) and a 3 PC strip. They only gave me 2 ranch, 2 chick-fil-a sauces, and 2 Sriracha. I asked for two more, so no one had to share, and the manager said there is a limit on sauces. That's funny because the one in Chula Vista doesn't have a limit. This is the most rude and unsatisfactory chick-fil-a I have ever been too. read more

Service is good food is decent there really isn't much to say about this Chick-fil-a. (Other than it's 100% cleaner than McDonald's)

We visited this location for dinner which is a semi staple for us. What my wife saw changed that. While changing my daughter in the restroom, she witnessed a worker use the restroom and not wash her hands. She left the restroom and proceeded to go back to work. We told another work who told the manager and the reply that the manager said was that she washed her hands before working. What's confusing to me is if that were true, why not retrace your steps to ensure the areas you touched were disinfected. I know this happens more often than we would like to admit but actually seeing it changes things. This is at no way a dig against their food. They make some damn good food . What I do know is that I will never return here to eat. When we wanted to talk to the manager, she was too busy to talk to us and sent her Team leader Jesse. He didn't say much or even ask who she was. He just kept saying he was sorry. Sorry doesn't excuse the potential for disease. read more

We went there out of curiosity and because all the hype when it first opened. The first thing we noticed was all the staff running around in their uniforms. Kind of weird. However the place was clean and somewhat nicely decorated. As for the food, this is way too highly processed for me and much too salty. I can not understand what all the excitement is about. Everything seems likes it is previously frozen. In fact, I think the lettuce on the sandwich was the only thing that was fresh here. The bread tastes like mass produced factory bread. Seems to me this is food meant for places where pre-frozen deep fried food is ok, but San Diego is the wrong market for that. With all the super fresh food we have here, why eat frozen food they trucked cross the country? If you must have fried chicken there are much better alternatives than this. I will not be going back. read more
