Chick-fil-A Santee Reviews
Outstanding Service & Genuine Appreciation for Military Families A huge thank you to the Chick-fil-A Santee team for truly taking care of their customers—and especially their military customers. The service was exceptional from start to finish, and the military discount was sincerely appreciated. It made our return home a truly special and memorable day. Special thanks as well for the catering service, which was flawless and professionally handled. I want to personally recognize the managers who assisted us—they were attentive, respectful, and went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. This location exemplifies what customer service should look like: welcoming, thoughtful, and genuinely appreciative of the community they serve. Thank you again for your kindness, professionalism, and support. We will absolutely be back
This is probably the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had the sauces are amazing and free! 😲 and I got unlimited refills service was awesome and very kind would recommend 👌
Love this location. No matter the line we always experience fast service. The food of course is delicious! I really like that they have some healthy alternatives like a fruit cup instead of fries and multi grain bread for the buns.
Natrually, it was a long line at 6 pm, but it moved along quickly. We had 15 min till home and had the kids wait despite protests. But omg, the chicken strips were delicious and so fresh! Better than the fries, lol, which are what I normally prefer! Oh, and I loved the pretty pink variegated plant 😅
I come to chick-fil-a a bit but I will just review the time I came on 11/24/21. I came here after a long day of shopping and it did not disappoint! I got a Grilled chicken wrap and waffle fries which were absolutely amazing! My sister got the Spicy chicken sandwich and waffle fries which she loved. We also got Mac and cheese which was delicious! Overall, I would definitely come back!

I never think to do reviews on fast food, I love their food, but what compelled me to write a review was going in today to pick up an order and seeing several employees dressed up for the holid…
Great food ! Good service ! Very fast and the employees were all very nice. Wasn't busy at all and it was a family friendly atmosphere.
bad nuggets, were way too big for their price. Ordered a toasted bun with cheese and only got the bun. The server couldn't hear a word I was saying, even though he had two perfectly functioning ear…
There was a long line and Evan was the only one in register, there were more people in the back and they were doing nothing but staring and laughing at him. There was a white, short girl with glasses that was literally just standing there and not getting in register to help. The food was great and despite being in a rush, he was great to us. When we got our food in our table I tried giving the short, white girl with glasses our tray because I didn’t need it and she tried telling me to keep it or to put it away myself instead of just doing her job. Evan was great
Always delicious.. not sure why they only had one person on register during the dinner rush. No complaints for personality but was odd to be short staffed
I love Chick-fil-A the flavor is great and I love their fries they are very salty but delicious. The pretzel cheddar club sandwich gave my partner a stomachache. The staff was ok could have been better but overall pretty good. WOULD go again.

The customer service was GREAT!! My wife and I were WOWED!\nThe reason for 4/5 Grade was the portions of food were small and expensive

3/23/24- I went there at 4:15pm, it was raining and only a 3 car wait for the drive thru. I ordered a vanilla milkshake, a large fry and a regular chicken sandwich. The wait for about 10 minutes.…

My only complaint besides not being open Sunday is that they want to take your order before you get to their menu. So if there is anything new or there are changes tuff luck.
Missed opportunities to say “My Pleasure” didn’t hear it once from several employees. In fact, way over staffed in the front end to the point they were missing items on several orders because over staffing leads to employees think the other will take care of it. Condiments needed replenishing and table tops wiped. Grossmont way better experiences than Santee.
Curbside was not delivered. Staff placed on counter, shuffled to the back and never brought out. After 20 minutes of waiting, went inside to ask for the order. Food was room temp at best. Politely …
they Forgot about our order. had us waiting in the “drive thru” parking spot for 20+ min. had to go inside & got cold fries please do better.
Chicken sandwich sounded good for lunch and one place we wanted to try was Chick-Fil-a. There was a two-row queue of cars at the drive-thru moving pretty steady forward. They have crew members walking up & down the line of cars, taking orders, taking payments ( cash or card). A young lady took our order, we asked what the menu was as we don't see it anywhere, and she fumbled around inside her jacket & pulled out a plastic laminated menu, and handed it to my husband. Too much to read, so little time. We told her to order us a Grilled Chicken Sandwich, regular bun, mayo-lettuce-tomato - that's it, and she figured what it is in the menu that we wanted. She carried her cash in a waist fanny pack which opened all the way, exposing & almost falling out - her cash bank. Not a very safe way to handle cash especially standing outside in the open. She did a good job in managing to not lose any cash in the process, but it was obvious that she was having a difficult time. Her customer service delivery was poor, no smile, seemed upset, nor even a 'thank you " at end of the transaction. The chicken sandwich was OK, fresh, hot, a good size. This location would do well to ensure that their working staff outside is safe from harm while handling cash, and must be trained to properly deliver guest service. Update: 2/23/2023 We ordered the same sandwiches we always get and today was quite a disappointment. The Spicy Chicken sandwich I got had a very thin bun, the chicken didn’t taste fresh (frozen, pre- battered?) and instead of lettuce or tomato, it had 4 pcs of coin- sliced dill pickles it . My husband's grilled chicken sandwich- exactly the same - 4 coin slices of pickles. I can understand cost - cutting decisions but this is not a wise one... we were very disappointed and will not be back.
Not as good as they say!!! First the line was as usually, long, but there were a bunch of workers (young kids) just kinda walking around talking and giggling, not really helping. When they called us to come up to their lane, he said Hi and stared at us. We then asked for a menu, and he went an got one, handed it to us and again stared (I feel like he could of backed up a bit and gave a sec to go over the menu.) We ordered a 12pc nugget with a LG Coke, a #1 deluxe chicken, a LG fry and LG lemonade, and an Icedream cone. The fries were cold, the nuggets were cold, the Coke was a Md sweet tea (he rang us for a MD Coke, it was suppose to be LG, but we paid for a md cause thats what he rang.) The deluxe had wilted lettuce and mushy tomatoes, and some Bute there were hard batter that hurt my teeth when I chewed. We never eat here, I wanted something diffrent, That's what I get for wanting a variety... Should of went to in n out, or even Jack in the box would of been better then this. I will say thier chicken was tender and juicy inside... We called the care line and they'll get back to us...

That was the final straw. I will never go back to this Chick-fil-A or probably any other Chick-fil-A. They are a complete rip off! Just wanted a cup of ice cream waited in there ultra long line dri…

Here is my sad long awaited rough review for Chik fil A and in short Chik fil A sucks. Thats about it. Way overrated, wayyy overpriced, does not look like the advertising at all. The food is all …
This is a one star due to what had happened to me today. I always order inside. It always takes a little time due to a million questions from both sides of the counter. My issue today is racism. I never wanted to use a word like that. But, I was in line, a woman cut the line and spoke in Spanish saying she needed a Spanish speaking person to take her order. They took her right then and there in front of me while I was already waiting for 9 minutes and the other 2 customers in front of me.. this is ridiculous and needs to be addressed immediately
Right off the bat Isabel in the drive thu was extremely rude ! She somehow got our order wrong multiple times and acted like it was our fault. She then went on to completely ignore us at the window and practically threw the food at us. She was even giving us nasty looks and rolling her eyes. Very disappointed !
Don’t go to this Chick-fil-A. It is an absolute rip off. I just ordered an ice cream cup paid three dollars for it and it was about a shot glass size worth of ice cream. The manager was way less than helpful And completely dismissive.
The ingredients quality is extremely questionable. Service SUCKS. I walked in and was completely ignored. Manager finally walks over and takes my order. The older employee who knew i was there the whole time and did acknowledge my existence promptly takes the older couples order that was behind me. They had literally just walked in. Meanwhile i had been standing there for at least 5 minutes. I ordered a spicy deluxe. It was so cold and dry the cheese wouldn’t even melt! I asked for a fresh one from the same manager who took my order. They indeed brought my back the same sandwhich. And I’m not a believer in sending food back 3x so I’ll accept this loss after going to corporate. But i definitely won’t be back! They also make entirely TOOO MUCH FOOD AT ONCE and it all is just sitting under the warmer! Which explains why i was served this OLD sandwich. 0/10
Slowest chick Fil a drive thru I’ve ever experienced, while they also advertise “fastest drive thru in santee” and “no time for texting” took 15 minutes to move one car length and they weren’t even busy. I used to work at a chick Fil a that took these things seriously and this one is a joke.
Let’s talk about health issues here. I got a gluten free bun because gluten allergy. When I get to my place, open the package this is what I see. A bun all moldy with green and white spots ALL OVER IT!!! do they realize how dangerous this is? I called them to let them know about it and the girl on the phone didn’t believe me! Pictures don’t lie so here they are. BEWARE WHEN YOU EAT THERE. What a unpleasant icky situation. Good job chick fill a.
