The owner was walking around helping everyone, was clear this franchise owner puts in the extra effort. Small details were unexpected at this location - fresh flowers on all the tables, the fastest table clearing and cleaning ive ever seen at a fast food joint, someone walking around in a cow costume taking pictures with everyone, super clean bathrooms, etc.. Probably my best fastfood restaurant experience ive ever had.

Chick-fil-A is one of my favorite places to eat! The food is always fresh, the service is fast and friendly, and the restaurant is consistently clean. One of my favorite things is their lemonade—it's absolutely delicious, and I love that you can buy it by the gallon to take home. Whether I'm stopping in for a quick meal or grabbing lemonade for the family, Chick-fil-A never disappoints!

Bruh everytimr I come here they always mess up my dang order. How do you have the order on your screen and still forget or mess something up. And then the salad meat of choice is never chopped up when it’s support to be. I made sure to bring it to the lady over the intercoms attention and she told me it comes chopped up, all for it to not be chopped up. This is annoying and min you it happens every time. No point in supporting this location when there are better out there. Tomatoes feel very soggy as well.
