Chick-fil-A — Restaurant in Branson

🐔 We Went to Chick-fil-A and Found More Than Chicken 🙌

Okay listen... I know it’s just Chick-fil-A.

But is it really ever just Chick-fil-A?

Today, we pulled through the drive-thru like we’ve done a hundred times before. But something about it just hit different. The line was wrapped around the building (as always), and still—still—we were through in under five minutes. Smiling faces, order correct, fries hot, sauce in the bag, and everyone saying “my pleasure” like they mean it. 👏

🎯 You can’t convince me this isn’t one of the best-run fast food operations on planet Earth. But it’s not just the systems—it’s the spirit of the place. There’s something about Chick-fil-A that feels like hospitality in a bag. It’s fast food, but it’s not rushed.

🍗 Trick was in nugget heaven. Jossi said the lemonade tasted like “liquid sunshine.” Casey got her classic grilled chicken with the kale crunch and sat in that little booth like it was a peaceful corner of the world. And me? I just sat there soaking it in.

📖 You know what I thought about while eating those waffle fries? How simple things—done with excellence—can glorify God just as much as the big, flashy stuff. Jesus fed crowds with fish and bread. No sauce. No fancy packaging. But He did it with love and intention.

Chick-fil-A reminds me that showing up with kindness, consistency, and care is kingdom work too. Even in a drive-thru. Even when it’s chicken.

💬 If you’ve ever had a bad day turned around by a waffle fry and a warm smile, you know what I’m talking about. And if you’ve worked at one of these restaurants—God bless you. You’re part of something bigger than a paycheck.

So yeah, we had Chick-fil-A today.

And yeah, I’m writing a whole post about it. Because excellence should be noticed. Kindness should be talked about. And sometimes the Holy Spirit moves through lemonade and hospitality, right when you...

Ate here 3 times during our week in Branson. We love CFA and always eat at one when it’s where we are traveling. Saturday breakfast was excellent. Chicken was prepared expertly and the counter person was great, even came and checked on us twice. Monday breakfast we had one of the least friendly counter people we’ve ever had at a CFA. don’t know if she was just having a bad day or is always like that, but she doesn’t belong up front. Food was good. Wednesday breakfast the chicken was so greasy as to be inedible. Out of literally hundreds of CFA orders this was the worst. We told the person at the counter and he did apologize. At our home CFA, making a comment like that would have resulted in a manager making an appearance but not here. The young man at the counter was at least friendly. The 4 stars for atmosphere was for the temperature inside. We needed jackets inside because it was so cold. We aren’t sure we would eat at this...

First off I’ve never had a bad meal at Chik fil A until tonight. I’ve eaten at dozens of locations and food and service is always outstanding. This location is the exception. The nuggets were disgusting. Over cooked to dark brown and black on most of them. Tasted like the grease was old. Called and complained, the manager said he would have a fresh order ready if I would return with them. I drove back and he did as he said. Had the order waiting on me. When he looked at the nuggets I brought back he said they totally met the company’s quality standards. I was totally insulted by that comment. I asked if he had gone to any other of the chain’s restaurants and he said dozens of them. I said and your telling me they would have served nuggets like these and he said yes. Hope the restaurant chain gets a handle on...
