Impressive.

We stopped at Chick Fil A for lunch on the way to Emerald Isle.  We loved it so much we stopped at the same one on the way back too.  What a great alternative to McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's and Taco Bell. You know how sometimes you walk into a restaurant and you feel like a burden asking them to get you food?  Food you are paying for?  Asking people who are getting paid to be there for this food?  Well, you don't feel like that at Chick Fil A.  They like you being there.

While we were eating, a Chick Fil A employee came up to us and asked if we needed our drinks refreshed.  How awesome was that!?!?  In fact, we got better service and more delicious food than we did at the first restaurant we went to that night in Emerald Isle.

I had the most amazing salad -- Grilled Chicken Market Salad.  It was fresh, full of wonderful fruit, delicious grilled chicken, chunks of cheese and they even had a few crunchy nut toppings to add.  Yummy!!  Loved it!

I enjoyed my salad so much I had to take a picture of it.  Wow!  What a great salad. And what a wonderful surprise when stopping for fast food.

The other really cool thing about Chick Fil A are the straws. They offer the bendy straws as well as the regular straight kind. 

You have to respect a restaurant that doesn't open on Sundays due to religious reasons.  Anywhere in the country!  How many people would actually give up being open for one of the busiest days of the week because of their beliefs?  I think that is amazing...sad for me when I want to go on a Sunday, but a wonderful testament to how strong their faith is.
