Chick-fil-A to open 3 restaurants in Puget Sound region

[Xclaxmom]

We recently moved to the area. We like Chik fil a but we like Raising Canes a lot more. Wish there was a Canes here.

Raising Cane's is yummy, infinitely better than CFA, but when in Seattle there's Ezell's.

And Heaven Sent, which is owned by Ezell, and possibly better than Ezell's. People say that, but the chicken tastes the same to me.

Normal drive thru wait times of 5-10 minutes.

Very good chicken sandwichs ( although expensive - $5ea )

That seems cheap to me, about the same as a chicken sandwich at Carl's Jr., and $1.25 less than Fatburger charges. I still haven't tried CF-A and probably won't, it just doesn't have any appeal for me and I'm not going to wait in a long line for fast food.

$5 for one single chicken sandwich to me is expensive.

I can get an entire rotisserie Costco chicken that is cooked for the same $5 and it will yield 4+ meals vs just 1.

Food is food and unless you want to make a protest vote, then go there. I like a couple of their sandwiches, but be careful as some of their choices are quite bland, IMO. Oh, and don't go on Sunday, they ain't open. The lines are long, but they use the In-n-Out concept of taking your order well ahead of the window. They probably will do fine up here in atheism/agnostic country.

if you're going to compare any fast food restaurant with costco, nothing beats the $1.50 costco hot dog + soft drink w/ refills.

i eat at teddy's bigger burger sometimes and that place is usually around $10-$12/person. Usually runs me around $50 for dinner with the family (3 adults + 1 kid).

Teddy's is super expensive for what you get, though it's rather tasty.

$5 for a chicken sandwich isn't all that bad, considering how high fast food prices have gotten. There's a reason fast-casual restaurants have been destroying fast food in terms of growth. I'd rather have a $7.50 Chipotle burrito than pay $6.99 for a Whopper combo.
