Chick-fil-A

I don't know whether I should be embarrassed or proud to admit that I came here 3 times in two days (2 days of shopping on Michigan Ave= 2 meals and 1 snack stop)... I usually don't like to give fast food restaurants ratings higher than 3 stars just due to the the nature of chain restaurants... but I was just too impressed by this place to give it anything less.  

I've never been to a Chick-Fil-A before this one, but my boyfriend is obsessed and was insistent that I try, so I gave it a shot and it was fabulous.

The food is obviously delicious, but the really impressive part of my experience was the inside of the restaurant and the customer service!  The interior (bathrooms included) are really clean and fresh looking-- there are even fresh flowers on every table! The decor is pretty, and there is tons of natural light streaming in through the huge store front windows.  I would sit in this restaurant and chill out/charge my phone etc. just as easily as I would choose to relax in a Starbucks.  The staff is super friendly and helpful and were professional and polite and made us feel welcome in their business.  This is a great place for a quick shopping break!

P.S. If you check in here with the Yelp app you will receive a free chocolate chip cookie!

Sooo I finally tried this place and unfortunately I have to admit I was super disappointed :/ This seems to be a midwestern staple, but everything from the chicken to the fries was just "Meh."  I like the fried chicken at Popeyes or KFC better, and even the waffles fries that everyone raves about were soggy and bland. My friend and I agreed it would be our last time there. If I'm craving some fast food to clog my arteries next time, I'll walk up the block to McDonalds.

Best fast food ever. Praise God for such an awesome company.
