There's a chick fil a in plymouth, hanover and Brockton. They're not that great IMO. I am not into the waffle fries at all and the one chicken sandwich i got there once seemed dry, had no mayo on it.
There's another one in Attleboro that opened 2 years or so again. I can't stand them. They are all over Florida and the South. When I go back to visit Attleboro Im not thrilled to see them in Mass. I've never understood the popularity of CFA. It seems to be more of a follow the crowd popularity. Nothing special about their food that's for sure. I never would of imagined Boston would issue a permit for one.

Whatever I like both Mayo and aioli and fail to see a huge difference other than flavorings.

You can order grilled nuggets and fruit.

More like a couple hundred feet from. In between you have the Job Lot store and parking lot, a storage place, then a car wash which is in the city of Boston. I will bet you there are more customers from Boston than Dedham patronizing that location, yet Dedham gets all the tax revenue. I don't like talking about Menino now that he's dead, and there was a lot to like about the guy (I still miss him in some ways). But he could honestly be quite the goofball, and made some notorious blunders along the way. This was one of them.

Yeah this. LMAO at all the pretentiousness on this forum. Like any of these posters would never be caught eating "fast food". Face it we all do once in a while, and CFA is absolutely a notch above McDonalds/Wendy's/KFC and the like. In EVERY way imaginable. Nobody is forcing you to eat at any of them, but BRING on the choices. Boston absolutely has room for another fast food chicken sandwich chain, and this one will up the bar in most peoples' opinion.

ONCE AGAIN. We are not talking about slaughtering a chicken and picking fresh vegetables from the garden. We are talking about being in the Back Bay, and having 10 minutes to grab a reasonably priced lunch and get back to the office. Or spending the day in town with a couple of fussy kids. Will it be Wendy's or Chic-fil-a? Oh wait, I guess now it's Wendy's or Mickey Ds...

I haven't tried them but I've heard that the grilled nuggets are really good. They're not pressed scraps like the nuggets at some places. It's just a chicken breast cut in smaller pieces.

And I doubt there's any problem with the fruit. Chick-fil-A isn't a junk place. The food is good. Seriously.

Their Chocolate Chunk Cookies are pretty damn good. I didn't mention them earlier because our Big Mac loving friend, msRB311, was looking for healthy food.

Several of the new chicken places on Doordash aren't actual restaurants. They're rebranded. Marketing schemes. For example, I believe Conviction Chicken is actually Chili's. Not sure of the names but I think Applebees and TGI Fridays are doing the same thing.

It's a brand from TGI Friday's. Many chain restaurants are creating these sub-brands to get around the preconceived notions consumers have about their main brand.
