Chick-fil-A — Restaurant in Richardson

One thing I love about eating out at restaurants is consistency. I like knowing every time that I come and order, I'll get the same food tasting the same way each time. This Chick-fil-A is no exception. Every time I come here I am served the same ice cold, rock hard, disastrously prepared chicken sandwich with unseasoned, mangled, and undercooked waffle fries. It's delightful. I never have to wonder if my chicken will be well done or medium well. It's always the same. Rare. Every time. I absolutely adore it. So what if I get food poisoning just two minutes after I choke on one of their fries? So what if the cashier can never spell my name correctly somehow? So what if the bread tastes exactly like wonder bread? That's how well UTD is willing to spend my tuition money. It's glorious. I, for one, am happy to have a Chick-fil-A of such high caliber serving me slop I could probably buy from a Walmart and then microwave. It saves me the trouble of going through all that extra work to get out of exams due to a small thing called "food related illnesses." This is really the place...

Honestly, I’m not into fast food, unless it’s tacos 😉 but I kept hearing how good the new chicken pimento sandwich was. The hype is true!! Like all Chick-fil-As, this one is efficient (they can move the line with precision) and the team is friendly (can’t resist that “my pleasure”). But the sandwich—MAN!!! It is that good!! Perfect pimento cheese, jalapeños aren’t too hot, and the honey takes it to the next level!!!! It’s the perfect combination of flavors. I went for the grilled chicken; eldest child had the fried chicken. (And eldest doesn’t like pimento cheese or jalapeños, but they enjoyed this.) Both sandwiches...

The CFA at UTD doesn’t take cash, even when all other places in the food court do. They don’t have a sign either, so the only way to find out is by standing in line 10 minutes.

If the fountain drinks are non-operational, the CFA staff will still sell you a drink. And while the drink fountain belongs to UTD Dining, the CFA staff won’t give you a warning before charging you. It’s happened to me more than once.

Lastly, they have a very strict and limiting cap on how many sauces you can get, no matter what you order.

The food is reliably alright, so I’ll give them a star. I wish there were...
