This was easily the worst drive-thru experience I've ever had. Even places like In-N-Out (with consistently long lines) move faster than this. I got in line at 2:00 PM, and by 2:43 PM I was still stuck with five cars ahead of me. The line didn't even look that long when I pulled in. I placed a mobile order, but the flow of cars and order-taking felt really inefficient. At the pace things were moving, it seemed like both the ordering process and the kitchen were struggling to keep up. I'm really looking forward to the Jackson location reopening. I will say my food smells amazing. If I had gotten it even ten minutes sooner, I probably wouldn't have felt the need to write this review. The photo I'm uploading is a single car that took over 10 minutes to complete their order. read more

This Chick-fil-A location does not disappoint! Their outdoor seating is covered for shade, which is needed here in San Diego. We did a mobile order pick up inside. They were quick to take our name and bring out our food. We checked in and they gave us our drinks while we waited. When we picked up the food it was fresh! They even asked if we needed more sauces. We ended up sitting outside to eat. It was clean and lots of shade with some in the sun. Definitely a top tier location. read more

2/21/2026 - Had my first CFA biscuit the other day. Grabbed another one at another location. Line was long, I think these are better than the lunch and dinner sandwiches. Smaller and more moist. Again, the biscuit is dry. Give it a shot. Checkouts. read more

Second time at this location and first time dining in. Food is consistently good. No complaints there. Service was slower than expected. The wait time estimate was very offl. I ordered on the app foR dining in and it said 7-13 minutes. It took 22 minutes to get my order. The dining area was large and there were still many people standing and waiting for a table. It was a full house. This location has a playhouse for three and under but lots of big kids were in there. I liked the family game cart available. I saw one family take advantage and play connect four. read more

Quick service, awesome food, and the workers are extremely friendly. I frequent this location and am never disappointed.

My issue was not with the food. The food here is always delicious.!!!! My issue is with cleanliness. When I walked into the front door, I could see that the glass was dirty the the handles look dirty as well and I chose to sit outside, even though it is pretty warm and sticky outside. But when I sat down, I noticed that the cement was dirty nasty. Yes, it's outside seating but that reflects on the restaurant. Very much needs to be pressure wash washed maybe acid Clorox whatever but that should be done. I myself like to eat in a place that is clean regardless whether inside or outside. read more

Busy as usual and basic chicken sandwiches. I don't understand what people find so special about this place.

The biscuits used to be fresh-the last 6 months they have been dry and hard. We order regularly for the office but may need to find find something elsewhere read more

Usually I like chik filet. Today was terrible. I hadn't eaten all day and ordered a grilled chicken sandwich. What a waste. It was cold and the bread must have been months old because it crumbled away when i tried to eat it. The bread seemed spoiled and the whole sandwich tasted disgusting. Spent almost $20 on a combo just to still be hungry since I had to throw it away. Check your food and expiration dates! read more

Food is good, but they're really slacking on their customer service! They really need to pick it up a bit better. Came in on 2/26 and Sheila didn't read back my order. Upsetting. I really hope there will be some extra training regarding about my order that I had put in. read more

Rushing for lunch! After 5 years, I decided to try Chick-fil-A again I got the Cobb salad with crispy chicken and a sweet iced tea. The place has a nice atmosphere, and the people are friendly. The salad is good, but I was a bit disappointed with the corn, it could be cleaner and fresher. Hopefully, they pay a bit more attention to quality in the future! read more

I never think to do reviews on fast food, I love their food, but what compelled me to write a review was going in today to pick up an order and seeing several employees dressed up for the holidays, I think it was a green elf outfit and the manager dressed in Xmas sweater and socks, just made me smile, Thanks! Merry Christmas read more

I have been coming to this chic restaurant for several years, and it seems to only be getting worse. Food orders are always wrong. The young folks taking your order put on FAKE smiles and act as if they are entering your order correctly. Every time I have been here? For some reason, they cannot get extra pickles on the sandwich, even when asked. Other times, I have gotten a stomachache after eating a sandwich from here. Today I elected to take pictures. Lettuce had black pigments on it ? And the tomatoes look days old? WTF! Who is managing this place, and why would you serve blackened lettuce and old tomato? Other times, when I have walked in the front doors are filthy in appearance with grease look and handprints on the doors. The kids' area has a smell, and an appearance of an infected pitri dish waiting to get your child sick. I would be curious to see what a city health inspection of this place would reveal. I sincerely hope this place cleans up its business. I pretty tired of the filth and incorrect order or lack of order . read more

I placed a food order including a cow cup for pickup. When I got home I realized the cup was not in the bag. I responded to survey requesting the store contact me. After a week I called and left a message. It is almost 2 weeks later and they still have not responded. I expect better from Chick-fil-A read more

Sometimes by being a creature of habit you might miss out on an eating opportunity. Today was the first time I've tried the grilled chicken nuggets which were well-seasoned, flavorful and low calorie. In fact, the flavor on the nuggets should be on the grilled chicken for salads. And I actually like the kale salad. But who wants to pay $4.45 for a palm size side salad? In fact, I could buy a whole bag of kale, poppy seed dressing, throw in slender almonds and voila. And it'll be just as delish. I will no longer get the breaded chicken nuggets because the grilled ones were so good, and it also saves some calories around the tummy. Extra shout out to Alyssa for her pleasant and meek spirit. And congrats on college. What's really cool is the restaurant has individual posters alongside the drive thru congratulating their employees that graduated in 2023. Talk about a high morale workplace culture.

That was the final straw. I will never go back to this Chick-fil-A or probably any other Chick-fil-A. They are a complete rip off! Just wanted a cup of ice cream waited in there ultra long line drive-through paid just about three dollars for about an ounce and a half of ice cream. Called in spoke with the ultra chipper completely dismissive absolutely useless manager. This is the worst run Chick-fil-A on the planet and that is saying a lot. read more

I am very upset with their service on 2/3/26. What I had ordered through drive-thru was correct, but not in my to go bags. So now when I return to Chick-fil-A at some point, I will be getting just my sandwich that I HAD ORDERED and will get that for free. Whoever I had spoke with over the phone (no idea for the name), she had an attitude with me. Please avoid this location at all cost until they can get their act together at some point. read more

I don't even know what to say about this Chick Fila. I never write reviews about fast food places because what's the point? However, this location has such outstanding customer service I had to comment on it. Normally, Chick Fila treats you well no matter the location, but this one was above and beyond. We had a little wait because there was a long line, but everyone that helped us couldn't have been nicer about it by asking if we had been helped yet and apologizing for the long service time. It was nice to know someone cared. Most fast food places they could care less. This Chick Fila is far away from where I live, but if I'm ever in the area again, I will definitely stop by for some food! read more

YEEEESSSSS!!! Thank you to our drive-thru rep John for relaying our request for a "tremendous" amount of pickles! Zack and Ryan - you and the staff made magic happen this evening. We were too hungry to count the pickles, but the bun was literally pickle juice-soaked. Wouldn't have it any other way! Next time, we shall order a pickle-wrapped chicken patty. Thanks, CFA Santee! read more

We ordered 3 salads because their salads are delicious. We picked up our order and it didn't take long at all. They only gave me 2 of the salads I ordered. I usually check my order before I leave but in this case I forgot to. I tried calling 3 times to let them know and the call took me through an automated system and then it hung up on me. They owe me a salad. I guess I have to go back to ask for it in person. It's just so inconvenient and we had to share a salad because they left one out. read more

Been to chick fila 3 times The last month. Each time they have messed up my order. Today, I was shocked when grabbing my chicken strip container. Immediately I thought it was mostly empty given how light it felt. Once opened, I was very surprised at how small the strips were. It's literally one strip cut In half. This is terrible business practice. I paid for 3 strips and was given one and a half. See picture for size reference. Nearly the size of a French fry. Done with this place. read more

Ordered the pretzel bun spicy chicken sandwich, first was told the cheese that was used for it not available,I said okay use pepper jack, when handed the order, was told that the pretzel buns were all expired, that they put my sandwich on just white bread, really gross the bread turned very soggy, what is going on here? This was a decent restaurant read more

This location sucks. I ordered a sweet tea: 90% water 10% sweet tea. Also a sad looking spicy chicken biscuit with the thinnest slice of chicken. Asked for chick fil a sauce and got jalapeños salsa. Please do better, Santee Chick-fil-A. read more

The food is great! I love the spicy chicken sandwich and the French fries are so good! They don't automatically add sauces so you have to ask. One thing that is not okay is that the chicken nuggets are about the size of marbles. They are really tiny and not worth the money. The service was good and the drive through was fine. Ambiance is nice. read more

I ordered on my App and was rewarded a free chicken sandwich. This Chick-fil-A was only a block away from me that's located on Mission Gorge rd. The App was easy to order from, and you are given a choice to pick it up at drive thru, pick it up inside, or have it deliver curbside. I chose the drive-thru, and the wait was about 15 minutes. I think curbside will be faster to use, in my opinion. You just park in a marked stall, and food is given to you. The customer service was good. The chicken sandwiches were delicious. The large waffle fries were only filled halfway and tasted soggy. There was no crispness to it. Overall, I give this Chick-fil-A 3 stars . Enjoy my friend. read more

Great food ! Good service ! Very fast and the employees were all very nice. Wasn't busy at all and it was a family friendly atmosphere.

Got here at 9:40 and didn't leave until 10:39. Worst customer service. My salad sat for at-least 20 minutes then the rest of of order was filled i watched it and my salad was do wilted i asked for another and after 15 minutes i gave up and asked for a refund. How do you do that when people have schedules and have to be places. How is it fast food? read more

This little PHATTIE was hangry! This little PHATTIE met up with a friend. This little PHATTIE went out to get even PHATTIER! Is that even a thing? It is now. So a friend and I decided to try a new place out for Taco Tuesday! After gorging and stuffing out faces, we were still craving something. Something else... something to satisfy that craving! What was that craving you ask? Something not on the menu per se, but right smack dab in front of you as you when ordering at Chik-fil-A! Recently posted on IG, is the glorious invention of Buffalo Chicken Mac n Cheese. No one has actually thrown a trade mark down on this name, so I may end up going down to county records and filing for myself. There's a goldmine in my future when this takes off. Thank me later! After winding our way through the drive thru equivalent of the Spacemountain line at Disneyland, we finally arrived at the menu and speaker to order. The ingredients to this concoction are simple. There are only three. Doubt they'd even consider this a "hidden menu" item like other fast food joints may say. But here goes... order whatever size side of Mac n Cheese along with some fried Chik-fil-A nuggets. When asked about sauce for the nuggets, grab the Buffalo sauce. Combining said sauce, nuggets AND Mac n cheese could get rather messy. So also request an extra bowl. Salad bowl worked wonders on this trip! Separate the Mac n Cheese in approximately half. Drop in how ever many nuggets you prefer. Then carefully pour that Buffalo sauce until your hearts content. The more the merrier. It's not "hot" but more tangy. Mix and enjoy! You're welcome. Service was friendly, however I asked for a second set of cutlery and they very much forgot to add it to my bag. Keep on Yelp'n! read more

BANG!! BANG!! Part 2 of 3 from "The Rona Chronicles: UYE #2" Just another Chick-Fil-A drive thru...or not!! This visit was unexpected because we just got done eating those birria tacos and ramen, but my "entrée compartment" (you know, the one that's completely separate from the dessert compartment?!) still had some wiggle room so I remembered a post I saw on IG and had to dupe it! This Chick-Fil-A location is located in Santee at Mission Gorge Rd. (at Hazeldon Dr.). Just like any other location, the line inside or out is always long, but they move fast. Since we were just wanting to sample the Buffalo Mac, we ordered the 8 oz. Mac 'n Cheese, 8 piece nuggets, and of course the zesty buffalo sauce. Ask for an extra bowl because the mac container won't be big enough! We split it into 2 servings, which was perfect! Constructing this was quick and easy. Simply bust off the cover from the mac, throw a few nuggets on top, and drizzle both with that zesty buffalo sauce. It's not a fancy meal, but it surely filled the tiny void left in my entrée compartment!! I was satisfied but not full, which is a good thing. Damn the gram for showing me what I didn't need to see...but who am I kidding?! I liked it, lol! Chick-Fil-A service is pretty quick. We asked for extra utensils and still only got one. Luckily we had extras in the car. Thanks to Janet M. for posting the mac, I never even knew they had it! This magical little twist made for a nice upgrade on a typical side dish! 4 stars for not including the extra utensils we asked for, and the mac 'n cheese we got included some burnt pieces which clearly came from the bottom of the pan. I would have liked it more if it was all creamy without those crispy pieces. Oh well...this just means I'll have to get it again! You know you wanna try it, so #JustDoIt!! read more
