Chick-fil-A is a fast-food chain renowned for its original chicken sandwich, which features a breaded and pressure-cooked chicken patty served on a bun with two dill pickle slices. The restaurant's menu also includes nuggets, strips, salads, sandwiches, wraps, and sides such as waffle fries and fruit cups.
Chick-fil-A is known for its customer service, often cited as one of the reasons customers continue to frequent the chain. The company closes on Sundays, a practice that originated with founder S. Truett Cathy's Christian faith. This closure has been both praised and criticized over the years but remains a distinctive aspect of the brand.
The original chicken sandwich was inspired by the recipe used in the first Chick-fil-A restaurant, which opened in 1946 as a diner called the Dwarf Grill in Hapeville, Georgia. The menu and concept evolved over time, leading to the establishment of the Chick-fil-A chain we know today.
