It does seem that way! The chick-fil-A is going to beat them at this rate.

Although in the past several week, they seem to have gotten a fire lit under them.

I can't wait for that Chick-Fil-A to open. We ate at the Ingram Park one last night and it was so good.

Dang it! I thought we'd all agreed not to talk about CFA on a Sunday! Now my mouth is watering for one of their buttery chicken biscuits.

which is exactly why I got my tattoo yesterday instead of today.. My wife wanted to go today, but we usually go to CFA afterwards and it obviously wouldn't work if we went today.

I cannot wait until Chik-Fil-A opens. My butt's going to get even bigger than it already is with that, the Starbucks, and the OG!

OG was pretty good when we went. About a 55 minute wait. The staff was new (you could tell), but couldn't have been nicer. Y'all are right about the layout of the place, I couldn't even find the bathroom.

I'm glad a Starbucks drive-thru went up but they take forever! One time I sat for 20 minutes for 1 latte. I could've went into the one in Target and been back out in that time!

Love the Target, the new Arby's, and that a Jim's might go up sometime in 2012.

I think the McDonald's on Shanefield has to be one of the worst ever. Whose idea was it to put the drive-thru right in between the parking and gas pumps? They should've put the car wash the the side of the McDonald's or something. It's always busy so I end up sitting there blocking cars forever. And they have never got our orders right. Although they're not as bad as our Sonic. Worst. Service. Ever.

I think Jim's is either teasing us or trying to convince us that they WILL open at some point and time in the future. They put on their sign "Opening Soon". Ummm...really? You need to try a little harder than that if you want us to believe you! Put a date on there at least!

I just hope the Jim's isn't the epic failure that the Potranco BK has been. I've never been anywhere that could completely ruin everything, but that BK can do it. Absolutely nothing they sell tastes good, or even resembles the taste of anything from a real BK. And we were waiting SO long for that to open too.

There is something about their location or driveway that makes me not want to go there. That intersection is a little nuts now with that bus stop so close and the traffic coming out of Potranco Village onto Potranco.

yeah, the parking lot is pretty funky, but I can deal with that. It's the food that has sucked every time we went there (something like 5 times now) that is amazing though. It has never tasted good, not even a simple side salad. I'll never go back for sure.
So far I'm happy with the two AR area places I've been, Arby's and Mama Margies. Been to both of them twice and both experiences were pleasant. Only issue was the crazy drink fillers at Mama Margies. Is there a reason why they spill the drink all over the cup? It happens ever time, no matter who is doing it. They have to be trying to do that for some strange reason.

I have had really bad luck lately with fast food. The last incident in a string of many, I ordered a mcChicken blt and took it home-they forgot to put the chicken in???? How does that happen? I feel like Joe Pesci.
