Chick-fil-yay!
Disclaimer, I was hyped enough when Chick-fil-A opened in DC to camp outside overnight to be one of the first 100 to enter the store on opening day. It should be pretty obvious that I happen to enjoy it quite a bit, but I'll write a review anyway (though I'm not sure who amongst the Yelp community would read a review on a large chain fast food place like Chick-fil-A).
The fried chicken sandwiches (#1) are consistent and tasty. They are more or less as simple as it gets, a piece of fried chicken + a couple small pickles. For fast food, it's good. Not call your foodie friend up good, but definitely hits the spot. The spicy chicken sandwiches (#2) are a step up, essentially a #1 with some added kick behind it. If I wasn't part of the #cfafirst100 getting free #1 meals, I would be ordering spicy chicken sandwiches all day. The grilled chicken sandwich (no idea what the number is .. #5? #6?) is a nice switch up from the fried stuff, and the chicken is still juicy. You also get a piece of lettuce and a tomato so you can pat yourself on the back for being more health-conscious than those fried chicken sandwich people. Nuggets are okay, but kinda pale in comparison to their sandwiches so I don't really get them very often. Fries are waffle-cut. I always feel like they could be fried a bit longer and would end up crispier but oh well.
Drink-wise, their sweet tea is good but VERY sweet. You can get half sweet tea, half unsweet tea to balance the flavor a bit which I find helps a lot. Another cool mix is half lemonade, half sweet tea (Arnold Palmers) or just upgrade your drink for an ice cream sundae (just a dollar something extra and it's a huge sundae). No judgment.
Sauces: my favorite is the honey-roasted BBQ, which for some reason comes in smaller squeeze packets instead of a wider packet like the rest of the sauces do. The Chick-fil-A sauce used to be my favorite but the more I have it, the more I feel like it's too sweet for me (honey-roasted BBQ is pretty much Chick-fil-A sauce but less sweet and more tangy). FYI, Chick-fil-A sauce is essentially honey mustard + BBQ + either mayo or ranch in case you were curious. Polynesian tastes like the duck sauce you get at the cheap Americanized-Chinese restaurants and I'm not a fan at all but if you like that stuff then no judgment. Everything else is pretty ordinary, like BBQ / ranch / ketchup / buffalo.
There's always a long line, but my experiences with it have been pretty good. I don't think I've ever waited longer than 10-15 minutes between getting in line and getting my food. $7 for a burger, side of fries, and a drink is about what I'm willing to pay. Giving it four stars because even though I've had the #1 meal at least 20 times in the past half year, I'm still not sick of it. They must be doing something right.
