Chick-fil-A: Menu Items to Skip on Your Next Visit
Chick-fil-A enjoys a devoted following, but some menu items aren’t worth the hype. Here’s a look at what to avoid on your next Chick-fil-A run:
The Cobb Salad: While not all salad-eaters prioritize low calories, those seeking a healthier option at Chick-fil-A should steer clear of the Cobb. Loaded with crispy nuggets, bacon, cheese, and a calorie-rich avocado lime ranch dressing, it clocks in at a hefty 830 calories. Swapping the nuggets for grilled chicken and choosing a lighter dressing can help, but other menu choices are inherently healthier.
The Cool Wrap: A cold wrap with chicken lunch meat at a restaurant famous for its crispy chicken? It’s a baffling menu item and a disappointment for those expecting Chick-fil-A’s signature flavors.
The Side Salad (as it comes): Beware the default dressing! The avocado lime ranch and crispy bell peppers turn this seemingly healthy side into a calorie bomb, exceeding even the waffle fries.
Avocado Lime Ranch Dressing: Multiple menu items highlight this dressing as a calorie culprit. Choose a different dressing for a healthier meal.
Waffle Potato Chips: With waffle fries readily available, these chips seem redundant and less satisfying. Even Chick-fil-A employees admit they’re unpopular.
Hash Brown Scramble Burrito: This breakfast item falls flat. The unseasoned hash browns and eggs make for a bland and forgettable meal. Chick-fil-A’s tortilla-based dishes seem to be a recurring misstep.
Chicken Tenders: While not inherently bad, the nuggets simply offer a superior Chick-fil-A experience.
Applesauce: Employees and customers alike agree: the applesauce is overpriced and underwhelming in both quantity and quality.
The Chick-fil-A Combo: Ordering your items separately, while slightly more complicated, can save you money.
And Don’t Forget the Sauce!: Chick-fil-A sandwiches are served without sauce. Be sure to request your favorite from the eight available options to add some flavor.
