The slaw is more more sour/tangy slaw rather than the more sweet / mayo slaws (I like both styles, but it is good to have a different option). The fries are seasoned really well and crispy. The waffles are really good too, but more of a dense chewy batter rather than a light and airy battery. Service was fast too. No complaints here. Would definitely want to try more things on the menu next time.

Very large Chick-fil-A with a double drive thru and a huge wraparound parking lot with tons of spots for curbside pickup orders and barely any for walk-in guests. There was no wait, the employee was chipper as they usually are, and my food was ready by the time I paid and used the restroom. I ordered medium waffle fries and 8-count nuggets, which were really greasy but hot and mostly fresh. The fries were delicious as always, particularly with their Chick-fil-A sauce and Polynesian sauce.

They accept the rewards app without issue and know how to apply points/discounts correctly to orders--which is important to me because I love using my rewards. The service is consistently courteous and professional. When team members bring the food out to the car, they are respectful, approach the driver's side window cautiously and hand over the order carefully rather than rushing through the interaction. It's a small detail, but it makes a difference. Especially at night when it's uncomfortable to have people approaching your car in the dark. Most of the time we order takeout, but occasionly we go in and dine inside, the restaurant looks clean and organized. Decorations and ambience are nothing special - similar to other locations. The dining area and restrooms look clean, and there is clear signage directing customers to order and pickup areas. Staff members are also very helpful when it comes to guiding customers and answering questions. A detail about the location that we really enjoyed was having the Coffee News newsletter by the door - it was a thoughtful local touch and felt cozy. We usually place drive-up pickup orders, and the parking lot is generally decently organized. Nothing really different from other locations. My only complaint is during rush hours when traffic to get in and out becomes congested. Since the building sits on a corner, turning in from Executive Drive can be frustrating with so many vehicles trying to enter or pass by at once. Honestly, it can be easier to park in the nearby shopping center or next door bank and walk over. Occasionally, other customers park poorly and take up too many spaces, but that's more of a people problem than an issue for the business. Recently, we've been really disappointed by the food. We've heard that some menu items, such as the fries, have had recipe changes, and the difference is definitely noticeable. We typically order nuggets, chicken sandwiches, and fries, but they simply don't taste the same as they did years ago. On a recent trip, I tried the mac and cheese to switch it up because I haven't been enjoying the fries lately, and I couldn't finish it. I offered the rest to my partner to finish. Later, my partner and I felt that it didn't sit well with our stomachs. On the other hand, I still enjoy Chick-fil-A's breakfast menu. The Chicken Minis and chicken biscuit are our go-to for early mornings and road trips. We'll get coffee too but honestly we prefer to just get food here and then stop at a Dunkin or Starbucks because it's better. The only downside to breakfast is having to race over before morning breakfast service ends. It's just disappointing to have to default to having the typical entree when it's not as good as could've been with breakfast. Overall, we'll continue to visit for breakfast and maybe lunch or dinner. But this isn't anything special and definitely not my go-to fast food place.

I'm rewinding from three-stars to four-stars, so from "grr" to "always tasty food and good staff, so fix this kind of mistake." I'm ready to put this location back in my late-night go-to list. Original grumpy review: Another late-night fast-food miss for me. This time i tried the Checkers on US-40 Baltimore National Pike, which always serves me hot fresh food, and always has friendly efficient staff. They have a $3 Big Buford deal in their app on Wednesdays until midnight. Just after 11pm (Apr 2026), i ordered one, added bacon, got an acknowledgement text, and picked it up from a nice guy in the drive-thru window. I got home. The burger was hot, fresh, juicy ... but there was no bacon. Sheesh. They had sent a second text to me confirming the order, and the link they sent included a customer-service option. I'll find out in "1 to 2 days" if they'll do anything. There's still a couple more fast-food joints along the road. I'm not sure i am brave enough to try them the next night I am hungry at 11pm.

But you can get the soft serve with half vanilla to break up the taste. The matcha flavor is clear and the ice cream is so creamy.

We thought it would be a circle cake like in the electronic ordering pictures but it's actually a square. Service was amazing, the staff was very patient.

The menu is massive with different types of offerings but we were interested in the Peri Peri chicken. We both ended up ordering a half chicken with mild sauce, and we turned them into combos for additional $5.00 each. The total came out to $43.24. We both had corn on the cob as our side. I was a little frustrated because the combo options were confusing. The corn was just some frozen half ears with grill marks that tasted dry and burnt. The chicken was equally dried out with just a hint of flavor on the skin. We also tried one of their mocktails, the passion fruit version. For $5 we got like an 8 ounce cup of sugar or syrup flavoring with a lemon and another cocktail garnish. The funny part is I watched her fill half the cup with the Stary soft drink! It was not very good. Everyone has a bad day I guess, but for the money paid this wasn't a great meal.

The menu had a lot of eye catching items I wanted to try, however it came down to the Honey Garlic Chicken Sandwich. I'm typically particular with chicken sandwiches because sometimes the chicken can be dry or you get a piece of chicken with mediocre flavor. This chicken sandwich did not disappoint. It came with three pieces of chicken nicely fried with a perfect golden crispy crust. The honey and garlic flavor ignited the chicken's juices. It came with a slice of American cheese which at first I was skeptical because it wasn't fully melted, however it melted in each bite I took. It was so good, I decided to get another one to go for dinner. [foodie confessions] I made the meal a combo with a side and fountain drink. I went with the Peri Peri fries. The fries were seasoned and tasty. The other item ordered was a quarter chicken with rice and a side. The side of choice were the olives. The chicken was juicy and naturally paired well with the rice. The olives had a blend of sweet lemony flavor. It was delicious. We passed on dessert however there's Hershey's ice cream with a variety of shakes that looked yummy. Perhaps next time. We got served by the talking robot which was cute. It brought the food to your table, you grab your food and simply follow the instructions on the screen for it to return. Don't fret, the staff still checks in on you to make sure you got everything you ordered. It's a casual (fast food type) of dining so don't expect the full wait service. I'm glad I gave it a try and plan to return to try more items on the menu.

Generous portions, good flavors (the suburbanite-targeted places are shockingly bland for my tastes). I'd say the flavors are closer to "Mexican" than most US chains offer.

Pro-tip, crumble those leftover chips into the bowl, mix it in. Yum! This location has decent parking, easy access from the highway, and the staff are always efficient. As a bonus, it doesn't seem to draw the teenaged crowd Chipotle often does in this area, so it's less chaotic. Honestly some of the best fast-casual food I've eaten.

What was my first visit like? Perfect. It's just a good burger place man. The ingredients are fresh and food are made to order, and anybody thats had five guys before know what it should taste like. This location meets those expectations. Now we could debate who has the best fast casual burgers, but five guys is certainly in my opinion, among the top choices. Now just know inflation is A thing, and also you're paying for quality. My order of little bacon cheeseburger, regular fries, and drink came out to $18 and change, but I rather have this than your average run of the mill fast food burger franchises littered all over route 40.
