Review for Chick-fil-A on Walnut Ave in New Braunfels
We stopped by this Chick-fil-A location after a long day of back-to-school shopping in New Braunfels. It’s usually one of our favorite spots, and we were all hungry and excited to eat. We went through the drive-thru and placed an order totaling about $50. The service was fast, and we were handed our food right away. Unfortunately, once we got back on the road, we realized two mac & cheese orders were missing.
No big deal — we turned around and went back. My husband also wanted to order another sandwich, so it seemed like an easy fix. But when we explained the missing items, the situation took a disappointing turn. Two different employees — one of them a manager — insisted that the mac & cheese had been in the bag. One even asked us to pull into a parking spot so she could go through our bags with gloves. I explained we had already started eating on our way home since we were hungry, but the mac & cheese was never there. Eventually, she agreed to replace them "this time" — which felt more like an accusation than customer service.
To make matters worse, the second sandwich my husband ordered had cheese on it — he’s lactose intolerant and didn’t ask for cheese. We had to circle back again to get that corrected. They did give him a new sandwich and offered a cookie, which we appreciated, but by then the whole experience had already soured.
When I mentioned I’d be writing a review, the employee, Brooklyn, questioned why I would do that since they “gave us the missing items.” But this wasn’t about getting free food — it was about being treated like we were trying to cheat the system, when in fact we were just trying to get what we paid for.
We’ve always loved Chick-fil-A for their great service and friendly attitudes, but this visit left a bad taste. It’s disappointing to feel questioned and doubted over a simple mistake that could have been handled with kindness and understanding.
Her name was Brooklyn and we were humiliated when she told us she would be going through our bags but for us not to worry because she would wear gloves, WOW!
Do better Brooklyn.
