I can't say enough good things about the service we received from Tee. Her professionalism and warmth added a personal touch to our evening, and we left feeling throughly satisfied! Thanks Tee read more

Salinas Chic Fil A, discriminates against Hispanics. I'm an executive in sales and traveled throughout California and Chick-fil-A has always been one of my favorite spots to stop for the last 15+ years. I requested a large cup of water like I usually do with my order and this time I was denied. I Was told that "undocumented workers" ask for small water cups then asked for a sweet beverage for a refill. I would go to Chick-fil-A on average 7 to 10 times a week for me and my family. I am no longer supporting Chick-fil-A after those Insensitive comments and I hope more will follow along with me. read more

The food is always amazing. They have great service. As usual the ambiance is exceptional.

I was at the line around 9:20pm pretty busy line was moving slow they took my ordered at 9:30 pm I get to the end at the window the guy handing food signal me & ask me to wait in the parking I was confused the young lady inside said there's a 2-3 minute wait for the Mac and cheese do you want to wait or You want a refund? (with an attitude) I said i Can wait 2-3 minutes other cars park after me long wait more than 2-3 minutes while all The order people I the drive got their food FastI got my food by 9:50 I was the first one waiting for my food and I was the last one to Get mine I ask the girl why did they take so long? she said first they serve the ones that have Big Mac & cheese orders. mind you I ordered a medium Mac & cheese and 8 piece of girl nuggets (cold By the time I got them) my point is they have to be honest on the wait and also appreciate there customers making me feel like my time and order wasn't a priority, very unprofessional! No communication, not Happy . read more

Chick fil A is known for great food and service however this is not the case at the Salinas location. Since day one of the existence of the Salinas chick fil a, my orders at this store are consistently wrong or missing items, and if that's not enough, my fries are always lukewarm and soggy. Lately they have been putting the sauce containers in the fry containers, causing the sauce to be lukewarm as well as creating a reduced portion size. I was excited to have a chick fil a in our area, however after so many poor experiences I will just have to wait until I find myself in the Bay Area or another location. Corporate needs to come down on this operator or this location will continue to be mediocre. read more

One of the employees I think named Anthony was incredibly kind and helped assist me on what to get. I'm really indecisive but he took his time to explain the menu and made me feel at ease. overall great customer service and amazing food. read more

The order inaccuracy has been the absolute worst that I have seen. I would give zero stars, order is always incorrect and inaccurate. It's like their STINGY over a damn sauce?!?! Like what the fuck is the point of selecting how many you want if they are not going to give it to you. Always less than the ALLOWED amount selected in the app. I will in fact leave a review for each visit moving on, at least for each unsatisfactory visit. Let's see how many times this happens. Like is there a shortage or what? At least tell us. For me it's either the entire order is correct or the entire visit is unsatisfactory. I know everyone's standards for their order accuracy is different, mine just happen to be high because I expect precisely what I ordered; and that is exactly what every customer should be expecting as well; exactly what they mother fucking ordered, NOTHING LESS. I also shouldn't have to double check my order bag to ensure my order; my entire order would be in fact in there; cause then if I do, then I look like the jerk for not having trust in them when they haven't really earned it from a consumer and customer viewpoint. It's the little things that really make a difference people. Simple as that. It's not that hard to count, not that hard to double check. You have us waiting at least 20 minutes in the drive thru, I expect a complete and accurate order! Today's order, I selected the most ALLOWED cups of sauce for the meal I ordered, which was 5 cups of sauce; I received only three. Not only that but the large fry cup is almost always low on the actual fries, its like a medium inside of a large cup; again, what the fuck people. STINGY written all over this damn place. Really shitty when compared to other fast food places such as Jack in the Box and McDonald's; how the fuck do they have better drive thru and curbside wait times, and better order accuracy. I've only received a select few of inaccurate orders. When this happens I expect a full fucking refund, and the meal remade correctly, again free of charge, during that same visit at MINIMUM. Along with some kind of compensation for a free meal for the next visit; but again, this place had STINGY written all over it. I'm just like bruh, I'm about to hop over that counter and make my meal myself. I have also attached a picture of the shorted on Large fry for context. read more

Worst chick fil a I have ever been to. My order is wrong every single time. This time my 1/2 unsweet and 1/2 sweet tea was a sunjoy so I had the joy of both waiting in the drive thru and getting to go inside to have my order fixed. Whatever is going on here is not chick fil a. The devil has got control of the chicken at this location. read more

My bf and i went to the drive thru chick fil at this location and we asked for waters for our meals instead of soda (other locations usually give us waters in the cup size we get our meal size) and they straight up gave us the usual Dasani water bottles (water that has potassium chloride and salt ). We asked the girls if we can return the waters and get water in the cup size we got our meals. They were both young. One was a short curly head girl with big red glasses and the other was a blonde girl and they just looked at each other and didn't say anything and the blonde girl just let us know we were going to be given little cups AFTER WERE BEING CHARGED FOR FULL PRICE FOR MEALS. We got handed out our small little waters with NO LIDS. We also asked for grilled nuggets and recieved crispy nuggets, our total was around 40 dollars Gilroy chick fil a could never read more

Bathrooms, clean. Food, not too much salt. You could bring your mom on a date here. Chicken fried crispy, tender and hot inside. Saucy but not overbearing. Right amount of heat. Courteous and very sharp staff. Nosh On Yelpers. This review brought to you by Dogedollars. read more

First time here so I ask the polite girl in the drive thru to recommend something. Spicy wrap it is...now my fault for eating while on the go but I started to wonder what is so slimy, gooey and bad tasting.? The dark greens were expired. Im driving so these pictures don't do it justice but there was a lot more on the other half. Have someone at least pick it out. Even when removed it leaves a dark grey slime read more

This is normally a treat for us to go and we haven't really had any issues maybe just once but it happens. Friday we went in the morning to pick up some breakfast and my poor dad didn't get his eggs in his scramble bowl. To add to that this was a very pathetic looking bowl. The service was great but we did wait a bit at the window so I'm confused on what happened here. read more

I was driving down to Southern California when I decided to stop for a quick breakfast at Chick-fil-A. The restaurant was very clean and seemed quite new. The bathroom was clean and service was fast.

Lady at the drive thru was criticizing me and my wife's order, kept asking us "out of curiosity why don't you want to get the meal"

Let me preface this review by stating that I both clearly and fundamentally understand that this particular CFA location has only been operational for just about 2 weeks now. With that being said, this was my complete experience-- Firstly, from the time I entered the line, to the time my order was taken took about 50 minutes. From the time I ordered to the time I received my food however, only took 7 minutes... but it still took another 5 minutes after that to escape the wretched grasp of the drive-thru line. In total, my experience from beginning to end took an unreasonably uncomfortable 62 minutes. I probably should have exited the line sooner but... alas... when the craving for Chick-Fil-A hits, you gotta roll with it. (Side note: this location does NOT currently use the Chick-Fil-A "One" app. Which is a total bummer.) The staff was super friendly, although you could definitely tell many of them were still getting their "sea legs." I was sure to be patient and even repeated my order to the young lady twice just to ensure nothing would be mistaken. Unfortunately for me however, while 90% of my order was correct, a few items where missing or not given... and the food came out luke-warm at best. I know that there is a learning curve when attempting to operate a new business... but we need to iron out this curve guys! I have been to many a "Chick-Fil-A" where the line was long as heck, but I was in and out within 30 minutes max. While I have high hopes for this location, I think I am best waiting out all the hype before returning again to give it another chance. read more

We ordered a delux chicken sandwich and a spicy delux sandwich and a side Mac n Cheese. First time visiting any Chick-fil-A. The spicy delux is our favorite. We walked up, because the drive thru was very busy. Tops of line to delivery of food was 20 minutes.. During this time, we noticed 3 customers complaining about not getting an item or right item. Uh oh.. We were given our items- on appearance- seemed right. So we left. Much to our chagrin- the iced tea was sweet not unsweetened (ticket was right, though). The Mac n cheese was burnt and dry. The waffle fries were undercooked and tasteless. Super disappointed. But they are new. Suggestion: make sure the food expediter double checks the orders. That one minute saves 5 plus food! read more

Every time i dine in i sit by the window / door and the workers always decide to come and SPRAY window cleaner and CHEMICALS right next to me as i am enjoying my meal, i immediately felt the spray and breeze of chemicals hitting my face and food and was super disappointed that i could no longer enjoy my $40 meal, what a waste of food/ money!! I will no longer be dining in due to how inconsiderate it is so clean right next to the customers specially spraying chemicals.If i could rate 0 stars i would!

Was lucky enough to place an order with the actually had the ordering activated so my experience was pretty good. We left about 10 minutes after placing our order we did about 10 minutes in the car than 10 minutes at the walk up curbside pick up area, it was a little hectic for the workers however the girl who helped us was extremely fast and friendly as well as professional. The food was amazing and surprisingly better than expected. We ordered chicken sandwiches nuggets and Mac and cheese as well as a side of tortilla soup (not great, at all) aside from the soup we were so happy. I'd never and I mean never wait in that line. Kudos to those who do and boy o boy I pray that you had the fresh experience we did. All and all I'm happy with them and the quality of the food as well as the service. We will be back when the online ordering is available for sure! read more

From someone who used to drive to San Jose all the time just for it, you can't go wrong with Chick-Fil-A. Always great customer service and delicious food. This Salinas location is no exception. I wish they had better control of the traffic since it basically wraps around Main Street and it took us about 1 hour and 20 minutes to get our food but it's worth the wait. Food was good like always, I love how their fries at this particular location are more crispy than others I've been to. I always order my Spicy Deluxe meal with Bacon, large fries and a side of 30 nuggets to share with my husband. Polynesian, House, and Ranch are the holy trinity of their sauces. I have yet to be disappointed at any location. By the looks of it, the traffic might not slow down anytime soon, it's always going to be busy that's a given. I have a feeling though once everyone in Salinas and the surrounding areas get their fix, the traffic will become more manageable. Until then, I don't mind coming every now and then if I have the time to wait in line. For some of you who are complaining about getting turned away after 9:00 PM, look around. It's pretty obvious the line is big enough already to serve every single customer within the 9 and 10 o'clock timeframe. If they continue taking on more cars, those people will not get to be served and I'm sure you'd rather be turned away then have to wait in line and later told they can no longer serve you since they are closing. Common sense. Overall, I'm glad Chick-Fil-A is in Salinas now and maybe in the future we can get a second location because that will surely benefit everyone in the long run. read more

What is there to say other than this is chick-fil-a. Great staff great food. If you've never been here for some reason don't listen to negative reviews. It's hands down the best fast food. Hence why it is always crowded. The food is fantastic and staff are always very friendly. read more

Chick-fil-A Salinas Chaotic in the beginning but hot and delicious. Months later, the chicken became overcooked and dry--hot, not delicious.. Shortly after that, the quality rose back to hot & delicious. 5 Stars! Chick-fil-A offers a free rewards program, I highly recommend it. Unlike Mickey D's, you can use all your accumulated points at once and, I always get something free. One time, I placed an order for $75 and it was all free because of the rewards program. I encourage everyone to sign up! I am a Drive thru regular. Drive thru experience isn't always great. I get uncomfortable when the outside staff is goofing off, not paying attention, and possibly offending the customers. For example: A staffer was clearly heard to have an issue with soda drinkers since she was not a soda drinker herself. I don't want to know that. And, I don't want to know what a staffer will be wearing at a party after work. I don't NEED to know that. Imagine if I went into Chick-fil-A, got to the cashier, thinking-thinking about what to get and then say, 'I'm going to Target to buy petroleum jelly!!' Wtf, right? Exactly... Anyway, I try to carry-out from inside now, much more pleasant and professional. Staffers working in sync with one another, attentive, and focused. All in all, this is an amazing location, always immaculate. The experience is actually wonderful. Thanks for opening in Salinas, Chick-fil-A! read more

Went here a few days ago and staff was extremely friendly my son got a chicken sandwich combo, my daughter got a kids nugget meal I got their chicken bites meal and my husband got their tenders meal... my bites were not as crunchy as they have been in the past.
