    It’s not even as good as it used to be. The quality of the buns and the chicken have dramatically changed. Even the pickles are worse than they used to be. Their sodas have always been mostly ice, and the quality of the waffle fries has always been location dependent. How hasn’t another chain taken over their market share?

      PDQ is a realistic replacement if you have one nearby.

      Dave’s Hot Chicken is pretty damn good for a national brand too.

      Edit: I just realized PDQ is pretty much exclusively in Fl and VA, USA

      Whoops!

      Because other chains don’t say “my pleasure.”

      Real talk, at least in my area CFA’s service is still head and shoulders above any other fast food restaurant. I will often choose them over other locations because I know I won’t be waiting around for 10-15mins for my order.

          They used to, then they got caught and said they stopped…then it came out the founder still did it, then he died. His son and current owner probably still does? But then one of its locations recently celebrated a gay couple’s marriage and the national chain backed them up so who knows anymore.

          That was the CEO, afaik.

          Recently, corporate backed a restaurant in Utah when people complained about them flying pride flags, so the culture there might be changing.
