“I’m from Alabama & wanted some soul food so I goggled soul food in the ESSEX area SOUL DELISHAUS appeared. I ordered 3 plates for me & other family members. Our food was delicious the customer service from Rita(the owner) was fantastic. I went back the following week & our food was delicious again. Whenever I’m in Maryland I will surely stop by your establishment.“

“We usually get the 2 can dine for $10.99. Hubby gets the breast and leg mild, and I get the thighs and wings spicy. This is why we got married! Seriously, no! But it was fun to joke about it. He gets the 2 sides and biscuits. It just works.
Always good service, a rare occasion when we had to substitute.
Love the free refills.“

“Arroz Chaufa bowl with chicken was fine a bit on the bland side perhaps but the mild garlic sauce makes it very very good and enough food for 3 meals so definitely got my moneys worth got 3 little containers of sauce to take with me along with my leftovers would definitely come back again“

“Hands down the greatest service I have ever received anywhere. I have been to nobu, the ritz, carbone and I have NEVER received service as good as this. Constant checks, offering free refills, bussing service, wipes and mints. Wow. Just Wow. I don’t know what to say. Amazing. Give yourself a pat on the back chick fil a. 👏👏“

“Probably the best chicken sandwich I have ever tasted. The buffalo fried chicken sandwich is what I ordered and it is hands down the best spicy chicken sandwich I ever tasted. What ever they fried the fries in had them tasting great also. With the garlic sauce to dip them in. Definitely coming back to try other stuff om the menu!“

“Top, gute Auswahl, preiswert und schnell, und alles vom Grill“

“When our car died, we went to Chick-fil-A while we waited for my husband to come jump the vehicle. We ordered one milkshake and asked for a few cherries. My son got one milkshake with an entire bottle of cherries on top and an entire bottle of cherries on the side. It made it what was a bad day, a very memorable and happy day for my 4-year old son! Thank you Chick-Fil-A!!“

“😀Shout out to Canton Crossing. They handled our catering order back in March for 120+ orders and mac and cheese. It was organized, delivered on time, and perfectly prepared. Praise the Lord 'cuz no one wants to deal with a hangry group of guys. Thank you to Angela and team for the great food and flawless service!“

“Right now, as I sit in Dave’s Hot Chicken in Glen Burnie, I’m almost done eating- and right now the back of my eyeballs are vibrating, my nose is running, the top of my head is sweating and I’m SO HAPPY!

Yes, hot means hot. 🥵. Thank God for pickles and free refills for soda.

I walked in, having never been here before - never had Dave’s. The young lady behind the counter was not much help, but I figured out what I wanted. They had the food done fast and I got started.

Hotness did not undue the depth of the seasoning and the taste of the chicken. It was the kind of hot that hurts, but that you can’t stop! You have to keep going. I love that feeling with food.

The fries were delicious- just right crispy and the Dave’s sauce was tasty and unique enough that you noticed.

I got a shake to balance everything out and it was good. Soft-serve basically with a slight mocha flavor.

Parking spaces here are tight so you will want to get away from the front spots and save yourself a door ding.

Overall it’s recommended by this spicy food lover.“

“It is my favorite place, except in some Chick-fil-A's in the area. I have to come home and fill the salad plate with my own to have a complete salad or else not enough. You only get 3/4 of a salad. Salads are to wet, sometimes not so fresh. But enough to decrease my trips to this fast food restaurant. My disappointment is just the with the salads because that is the only thing I buy and the kids meal for my daughter. The employees and the service is excellent.“

“This is now my favorite go to! I ordered via door dash and tried to leave a review. I ordered a cheesesteak and fried chicken. Lip smacking good to the very last bite. I highly recommend Krispy krunchy chicken. 10's across the board!“

“It's nice �“

“I recently had the opportunity to visit the newly remodeled Chick-fil-A restaurant and wanted to share my thoughts on the overall experience. While the restaurant's updated appearance was impressive, I couldn't help but notice some areas where the customer service could have been improved.

Firstly, I must commend Chick-fil-A for the beautifully remodeled restaurant. The new design is modern, inviting, and creates a pleasant dining atmosphere. Additionally, the cleanliness of the establishment was remarkable, with well-maintained dining areas and sparkling restrooms.

However, I did notice a decline in the level of customer service since the change in ownership. The staff seemed less attentive and lacked the warmth and friendliness that I have come to associate with Chick-fil-A. It was a shame to see the standards seemingly lowered at this location. I hope that the management takes note of this feedback and works towards restoring the exceptional customer service that Chick-fil-A is known for.

On a positive note, the food quality remained consistently good during my visit. The signature Chick-fil-A sandwiches were flavorful and well-prepared, showcasing the brand's commitment to using quality ingredients. The taste and freshness were as enjoyable as ever, and I was satisfied with my meal.

Furthermore, the restaurant's cleanliness was praiseworthy, except for one minor issue. I noticed the area around and under the trashcan near the front of the restaurant on the outside could use some attention. While this was a small flaw in an otherwise clean environment, it is worth mentioning as it could be easily addressed to maintain the overall cleanliness of the establishment.

In conclusion, the newly remodeled Chick-fil-A restaurant offers a visually appealing and clean dining experience. However, the customer service fell short of expectations, and it seems that standards have been lowered since the change in ownership. Nevertheless, the food quality remains consistently good, and with some improvements in customer service, this location has the potential to be exceptional once again.

Note: This review reflects my personal experience and may not represent the overall performance of the restaurant.“

“The past few times I have ordered a sandwich, my top bun was smashed flat, like whoever put the top bun on smashed it down with their hand. Please stop. Just lay the bun on top. No need to flatten it.
Otherwise, good food. We eat here often just please stop flattening the sandwiches.“

“I absolutely love C.R. the half chicken with string beans with mashed potatoes and gravy are my go to but I love the ribs as well. An order is enough for both my wife and me with leftovers for lunch the next day. A real bargain. I recommend highly!“

“They have this deal at the moment for two 8 inch cheese steak subs for 13.50, which is really like 14 dollars after tax, so it ends up being 7 dollars per 8 inch sub. Might be too much for one person, but if you're two people, then it's a pretty cheap way to share a meal together. Relatively speaking at least. I do think the quality of the subs is a bit better at Spartan's Pizza down the street, but like I said, the price of this particular type of sub is significantly cheaper at the moment. If they change the prices later, then Idk.

Anyway, aside from that, their milk is pretty good. The price of a half-gallon is about 2.11 after tax, which is actually cheaper than the grocery store. Much cheaper than the 3.50 that they're charging at some other nearby convenience stores. Their gallon milk is about 3 something lately which is really cheap, relatively speaking 🤔.

Overall, it's a nice place and people seem to really like their chicken. I still haven't tried it yet because I just generally don't care about chicken that much. But they do have a lot of other things except cheese steak subs lol. It's just that I've only ever eaten that thus far. The people that work there are nice, honestly even the people that go there seem to be pretty nice. So I'd definitely recommend checking them out sometime if you're in the area.

Recently realized that there's a second floor dining area with tables and chairs which is pretty cool. Idk how I never noticed that before 😆“

“My favorite place to get a good cup of coffee and a breakfast sandwich they even have fresh watermelon that's really good and it's sweet

Parking: They have a parking lot that they share with the health building next door but street parking is available I think before 8 a.m. you don't have to pay to park if you're just running into get your food your fine“

“I just finished eating at the Popeyes at White Marsh the chicken is extra extra extra extra good and the guys that work on this daytime Francisco works on day shift always treat very very nice He always remember me because I come in once a week Keep the good work up Guys“

“There is no in-store dining. This is strictly for carry out food. The fried chicken is exceptional. And the price is also very reasonable. 25 pieces cost me around $35. Do not let the location (it is in a less than desirable part of town) bother you! Calling ahead for larger orders is a must, as they have a large number of walk-in customers.

Parking: You will have to park on the street. Pataspco is very busy so park on 6th.“

“My friend from Hopkins spent the summer in Baltimore and, when asked about city classics, pointed to the chicken box. So you know we had to check it out!! The tender box was super heavy, and they really stuff it with chicken and fries. Nothing to say here besides chicken that scratches the fried-food itch. Make sure to ask for extra crack ;)“

“This was my first time trying krispy krunchy chicken. Wasn't disappointed. Love popeyes & royal farms with church's rounding out my top 3. Krispy has now entered this stratosphere in my opinion. The only chicken crunchier would be Kfc extra crispy that's extremely hard to find. Would love to see more Krispy Krunchy Chicken stand alone. Keep up the great job!“

“The Fish is my go to, but you gotta catch it fresh. I usually stop here on weekday mornings it's never crowded during that time so the atmosphere is quiet and chill but this place is surrounded by strips clubs so the atmosphere can drastically change depending on the time and day of the week.“

“Fast food is not what it used to be( Little Tavern from years ago come to mind). Chick- fil- A is the King of the mountain in reference to quality of food, service & how they train their young associates. The essence of this keeps regulars returning time after time. It makes me feel good when the young associate looks me in the eye, smiles & later tells me it was their pleasure to serve me. It means a lot to go to a counter & not just get stared at like you the customer shld just start talking without being addressed. I appreciate CFA's service principle.“

“clean and friendly..Good Food..Love that chicken from popeyes ❗❗“

“Issa Hole in the wall but that damn chicken is good af. As a bougie transplant hailing from the DMV I thought this place was a lil sus. But I ain’t looking a gift horse in the mouth. Food was bussin! I had the burger, the fries, the wings, even my 9m old had the chicken nuggets and it was *chefs kiss*. I probably won’t be back in a create of comfort and this place ain’t comfortable at all. Took away a star because they don’t have mumbo sauce—Judge ya mami“

“A perfect 10 experience! The chicken, as always, was crispy and cooked to perfection, but what truly made this visit stand out was the service. I especially want to highlight Daniel, the manager, who was attentive to every detail from the moment we walked in. His service was friendly and prompt, and he answered all our questions with a smile. It's a pleasure to visit a place where leadership is evident in the positive atmosphere and efficiency. We will definitely be back soon!“

“I like this particular NY fried chicken The food is delicious and the customer service is excellent and friendly.“

“Clean, bright, and good vibes all around. A great spot to chill and enjoy some spicy food. Laid-back atmosphere with good music and a welcoming feel. The chicken was perfectly crispy and juicy—easily some of the best Nashville-style hot chicken I’ve had!“

“Great customer service and delicious food and a clean restaurant“

“Five stars! Drove out of my way for a better KFC. Very glad I did so. Ordered a 12 piece meal. They were out of wings. No biggie, the manager was happy to substitute. Very friendly and efficient. Food looks and tastes great. New favorite KFC.“

“I've always been a sucker for a great chicken sandwich! These def don't disappoint. I've always added sauces to mine as when they come plain with a pickle it just seems to be lacking a certain pizzazz which a bit of mayo & chick fill a sauce remedies immediately! I've also lived for their newer sandwiches that come with yummy add ons including cheese Tomato & delicious sauces“
