Default How popular is Chick-fil-a and Popeye's where you live?

I've noticed that Chick-Fil-A is always packed, the drive thru always has a line, and its that way everywhere I go, it dosent matter the town, now Popeye's I noticed is always dead, Is it like that in your area?

I've heard of Chick-fil-a but I don't know where the closest one is. We have a Pop-eye's close by and I love their food, but I've had problems with my orders before. One time I went in and ordered a 15 piece dinner and as I was leaving I thought to count my pieces b/c I'd had problems in the past, and sure enough, there were only 10 pieces in the box. I don't think he counted them at all--just filled the box.

LOVE CFA. The ones here in the Dallas area are ALWAYS packed. Even some of the high school football stadiums now sell "Chick-Fil-A Sandwiches". For fast food I like them. I had their yougart parfait today. YUM!

Popeye's, eh. Have not been to one in years and there is one not far from me. It might have a car or two there at any given time but nothing close to CFA.

Chick-Fil-A was founded in Georgia and I love them It's the only fast food I will ever eat They are always packed no matter the time or day of the week!

The Popeye's is closer to me but I don't like it as much.

I have noticed at certain CFA's, as you go through the drive thru they will go ahead and place the straw in your drink with the top portion still wrapped.

Chik-Fil-A is wildly popular here in AZ. They always have good promotions and their food is so good. Lines every time I go.

Our CFA is very popular as well. Especially on school spirit nights, where they donate a portion of the proceeds to schools.

Chick-Fil-a is a heavy sponsor of the local minor league baseball team, and even has a costumed corporate mascot present at games. They have only one drive-in location, but also an outlet at the mall food court. I have no idea how well they're doing, I never pass by their location. There's only one Popeyes, near the CFA, I don't know how popular they are, either. Both are at the opposite end of town from the college.
