Extremely long line. The woman who repeated our order was not nice and rudely came up to the car and kept saying MY PLEASURE! We all know that's the cornerstone they preach the team members with but make it somewhat sincere. Your better off going to Yucaipa and back given how long the waits are and the staff. read more

Chick-fil-A - Sitting in line for 45 minutes and still waiting. - Salad Near Me - Palm Desert, California

I'm pretty irritated that I paid $10 for this. This is supposed to be a large Mac and cheese and I can literally see the bottom of the container. It was filled half way at best. This is ridiculous. read more

First time at this location. By far the SLOWEST Chick-fil-A I've ever been to. Literally spent 40 minutes in the drive thru line and I still don't have our order. -next in line to the window. They need to work on expediting a tad bit more. Maybe have more than one person taking the orders. Speed of service lacks BIG TIME. would be faster to go dine in somewhere for lunch verses waiting in this dang line. Definitely not a good representation of a QSR. Nothing quick about this place. I hope to God the food is good. read more

For years the Coachella Valley has been wanting a Chick-Fil-A and it finally happened! The drive through line is as long as you think it is, therefore I went to the not-as-long indoor line. The system they have in place, is definitely one of a well oiled machine. The very nice employees are only going to get better as time goes on and will do justice to the system in place. Looking forward to this location getting better and up to par with other locations in time. read more

Chick-fil-A - Took a bite and it was so disgusting. It looked old and tasted nasty the picture doesn't do it justice. - Salad Near Me - Palm Desert, California

Employees at the drive up window are just talking and gossiping and they don't pay attention and give out the wrong orders. It's very frustrating to have to go through the drive up lane multiple times because the employees are just gossiping and do not pay attention. read more

Went to Chick Fil A for first time today. I do not normally eat chicken, having had to pluck chickens growing up. Nothing worse than a bucket of boiling vinegar water, dunking the chickens and plucking feathers. I was shamed into going with my wife and granddaughter. I was surprised. I had the hot chicken pimento sandwich, it was good. It reminded me of the pimento loaf my aunt made every week. Good Job! Thanks for bringing back that memory. read more

This is my 3rd attempt at this location. 1st attempt was when they opened and the #1 sandwich was bad. Skimpy overcooked filet with one pickle. Reminded me of a chicken filet sandwich I ate at a gas station long ago. 2nd attempt was a few months later. I figured they got the grand opening kinks out. No such luck. Gas station sandwich again. Today I was very hopeful, looking forward to that delicious, juicy thick chicken filet that's fried to perfection. Which is what I get at the other locations. Let's just say if it wasn't 118 degrees outside I've would've walked it back in for my money back. Overcooked and underweight with 2 tiny pickle slices this time!! So I figured the fries are hot and fresh. Lukewarm fries...are you kidding me? Not a total loss... the Coke was perfect. 3 strikes and I'm gone. No more at this location. Really bums me out because I've waited so long for a Chick-fil-A restaurant to come to the valley. Hopefully the manager/owner will address this and correct. Good advice coming from a high volume restaurant manager. read more

Fernando at this location (Monterey St in Palm Desert) took care of us today. We had tried to eat there when they first opened but were told only grilled chicken breast sandwiches there). I questioned Fernando today, via phone, and he told me to come down and he would TAKE CARE OF US. Our 15 year old dog LOVED his chicken fingers and my chicken sandwich was great tasting. My husband had the spicy chicken deluxe sandwich that he said "I Love the spicy flavor. It's not to strong!" All in all the trip was a delicious drive. Clean location. Fresh clean smell inside. VERY fast service and food was still warm after our 10 min drive home. Staff was very pleasant. Thank you Fernando and team. read more

They forgot the poliyenian sauce again....love their food but..gotta check the bag every time

Terrible experience! There was a hair in my chicken sandwich! Someone was obviously not wearing a hair net! They did replace the sandwich and gave me a refund but it just makes me question their cooking standards. The total for two people was $34.50, just a salad two beverages a sandwich and fries. Not returning for poor quality and high prices. read more

Chick-fil-A - Spicy Chicken Sandwich Deluxe Meal - Salad Near Me - Palm Desert, California

Food has been reasonable but going through the drive through is a nightmare. Two weeks in a row there was a missing item in which we had to go back both times. A refund does not solve there problem. We are not sure if we will be going back at this location. read more

When a chicken walks into a Chik Fil A you expect to be judged a bit. They were extremely professional to separate this business from the work they had done with the other chickens. I'm grateful for the cows to provide the milkshakes as well - best to pay this tax than be grilled, right? read more

While chicken in its various forms is a solid "B" the service is a strong "F"-we waited in line for 23 minutes, which is FAR too long. and a waste of gas @ near $6 a gallon. I hope the= "chick" can get her/his act together otherwise I will try "Wings" which is across the street of the I-10 in Rancho Mirage, CA read more

This is the worst restaurant in the Coachella valley. Food is over priced and is awful. It's also terribly unhealthy... This place is terrible read more

Food takes forever to come out. Don't bother with mobile order because cars in drive thru that came after still got their food first. You would think with the wait the food would be fresh but it's not. read more

Food was average. Bathrooms were disgustingly filthy. Staff did not seem to care. Manager just sitting at a table eating. I will not return. read more

Was told at 9:20pm they were "at capacity" and sent away. Operating hours are marked as closed at 10pm. No food was received. Will not return. read more

Their food and service is always good! Food is consistently delicious the resturant is always clean and the staff is friendly every single time. Even when our order gets messed up, my issue has been cleared up immediately and professionally. I have been a fan my whole life and am so grateful to have one in the desert! read more

Went to Chick-fil-A for the first time, placed an order went to go pick it up from Indio to Palm desert and back to get home with and open up my chicken sandwich to it just being a B.L.T. Disappointed tried to call their store to see if they can refund or tell me they'll give me another sandwich just for them to answer and hang up quickly read more

This place has a lot of kinks to work out before I even consider coming back. Obviously the line was extremely long due to the new and exciting establishment opening in the desert-- it was fully expected! There are two drive thru lines: one for regular customers and one for people who have already ordered and paid for on the mobile app. We ordered on the mobile app thinking it would be faster and more convenient. That couldn't have been further from the truth. The regular line was moving twice as fast and we ended up in line for over 2 hours. Once we got our food, our drinks were completely watered down as if they had been sitting since we originally placed the order. The fries were cold as well. Chicken was good though. If you think this fast food will be "fast" then think again. I'll give it a year before I consider coming back to try again. read more

This is unbelievable!! I tried giving this location a second chance since the last time didn't go well but OMG!! I went for breakfast and ordered chicken minis and they gave me nuggets?? Like wth? Can you even order nuggets for breakfast?? To top it off I ordered a coke and it was literally seltzer water with a drop of syrup!‍ I'm done trying this place sucks! read more

Chick-fil-A - They gave me nuggets!! I ordered chicken minis!! - Salad Near Me - Palm Desert, California

Service: We went early for lunch today. We got in line and ordered standard #1 combos at 10:57am for indoor dining. At 11:40am, still no food. My partner went to the counter three times to find out what happened. Finally the food arrived and it was cold. They apologized to us and a lot of the tables around us. Everyone saying "my pleasure" does not make it so. Food: Delivered cold. The chicken had almost no flavor. I don't understand the excitement for mediocre food. They could tell we were annoyed so they brought us a courtesy brownie for us to split. Finally: Good luck to you if you are going on your lunch hour. We won't go back. Popeye's still has the best chicken sandwich. I'm not adding a photo because cold food looks just like warm food in pictures. read more

Hmmm I don't get the hype. This is just fast good centered around chicken, there is even an apology sign for their chicken containing dairy allergens. My first ever visit, got the cobb salad with grilled chicken. The dressing is not fresh (pre packed ultra processed). Two tiny slices of rubbery hard boiled egg and 3 cherry tomatoes. Aaaaaa I doubt I got any nutrition from that salad. I was hoping for something fresher but it's obvious that chick-fil-a is feeding the masses processed fast food with highly seasoned chicken and ordering it fried is most popular. Aaaaa read more

The worst Chick fil A location to use the order app. Nothing fast about it. You are better off going thru the regular drive-thru. . read more

Decide to try what is the hype all about, store hours show closing at 10 pm. As I made my way to the front door I was greeted by an employee she stated that they decided to close early, at 9:45 to be exact. The question is; is it corporate store that supposed to be open for the hours that are posted??? Disappointed, will not come back! read more

"Oh, you want Chick-fil-a sauce? It wasn't noted when YOU placed YOUR order." The cashier outside said with a snob-face, and she seemingly stormed up to her little kiosk to fetch some sauce. "That's not even what I asked. I ordered TWO Chick-fil-A sandwiches. My order was even repeated it back to me. I was only charged for one. But since we are on the topic of sauce, I wasn't even asked if I wanted any, that's on your employee outside. So yes, I want the sauce." " Oh, let me ring you up right now. That'll be $6.99, and you'll have to pull around the side and wait." "Wait a minute. My order was correctly repeated back to me, and it was still messed up? I've already waited over 20 minutes in a pick-up line, with only four cars in front of me. And I have to wait even longer?" " oh, I apologize. That'll be $6.99." " No, I don't want it, now." "Cancel her order!" Server yelled back into the kitchen. "She changed her mind and she doesn't want it!" " She doesn't want it?" A voice called out from the kitchen. "No! She doesn't want to wait for it!" This was some pretty gnarly, rude customer service I've ever experienced at a Chick-fil-A. I think these gals have Coachella on their mind, rather that focusing on their jobs. At least the food was hot and crispy, which is often a hit at miss at a Chick-fil-A. read more

If you want delicious Chicken, fabulous ice cream and the friendliest staff then Palm Desert Location is for you. I go there a few times each week. I have a wonderful experience each and every visit.

Great Food and Service as Always! I am a Grilled Chicken eater and waffle fry eater as well. Courteous and Fast! Thank You!!' read more

Love the food, Wait always varies depending how you order and the day and the time you go. I waited 55 min one day, using the mobile app, I waited 25 min ordering inside one day, And 10 min using the drive thru (no mobile app) the last time i went. Service is good, they offered me a free ice-cream cone for the wait last time i went. read more

food was cold, service was horrible, did that get all my food, drove a distance for this experience was horrible.

Always great service. But this time was Exceptional!! Michael the manger went over and above to help with a large Oder. read more

I'm so disappointed with food...I've to many different locations and this was the worst..chicken deluxe w/bacon&cheese..roll was dry, bacon ok, asked for pickles got one..Mac/Cheese..not creamy, noodles stuck together, burned on top..tortilla soup..to thick to be called soup.. I am not a person to leave negative reviews, but had to, so disappointing. read more

I came in the morning and only ordered a coffee with a side of hash browns. There was no other car in front of me yet somehow they still took a while. A long while, just for a coffee. I had to leave the line without my order because it was taking too long and I had places to be. This is why it's a fast food chain. Because it's suppose to be fast. read more

Tasteless crap served on a bun with cold sides. The smell of the food is so nauseating it was a challenge not to throw up.

Love chick-fil-A the service is the best for fast food. I have to admit I don't really eat fast food however I will not pass up chick-fil-A

This is my first time at a chick-fil-a. I got three tiny little chicken tenders for $6. I expected at least hot and crispy and they were cold and soggy. I can say with complete confidence that I will not be back. Every single table in the restaurant was dirty. And even though I ordered my food to eat indoors they served it in a to-go bag which I feel is very wasteful. read more

What happened to the pickles? And other stuff......Ugh. I realize that this is fairly new to our valley. I definitely am not dinging them for that. I waited in line for 50 minutes. The least they could do is get everything I ordered in there. Nuff said. If you're curious, stop. Give them a few more months to get their act together. I'm definitely being kind with that 4th star. Chick-fil-A grace. read more

The food is good the service was ok fast service the only thing I don't Like they not open on Sunday's

Chaos. I did not order because no one was taking orders. For fifteen minutes. Inside. It seemed like no one was in charge and they were completely overwhelmed. I left and I will not go back. read more
