The thing that made it extraordinary was our three servers. Keep up the great work. I WILLCOME BACK AGAIN and I WILL RECOMMEND GILROYS TO MY FRIENDS!!!“

“A small but quality Chick-fil-A on The Citadel campus. This one is located within The Citadel Canteen building beside Mark Clark Hall. No, you do not have to be a cadet to go eat there as it is open to the public. The dining area is always clean, and the food always comes out great. They are usually busy serving cadets, but the line is always served quickly. Overall, it's a great little fast food restaurant.

Parking: Free parking lot just behind the building.“

“I came in randomly to get a late night meal while staying at a near by hotel, and what a great decision! THEA IS AMAZING!!! She was the bartender that night, and she suggested a perfect drink to kick off my birthday. Her vibe was everything and I will def be back just for her!!“

“Great service and clean.“

“I had a wonderful experience at my recent visit! I placed a curbside order and approximately 13 minutes later I received my order. But after about 10 minutes of waiting I received a call from Drew apologizing for my wait and letting me know my order would be out shortly. When Drew brought out my order he was very kind and again apologized for the wait, which was not too bad in my opinion. Then later when I opened my bag, I saw that a free cookie was placed inside! Best customer service I've received in a while!“

“Very clean & inviting. Frank made us feel very Welcome & treated us like family. The pizzas were awesome!! 2x the toppings of most other local pizza places. The cinnamon pull apart desert exceeded expectations too.“

“We ordered an Italian sub, a steak sub and a medium thin crust pizza with 4 toppings, from Ryan. Everything was fresh and tasted great ! Ryan really has it going on !!!“

“Wife and I had drinks at the bar while waiting for daughter, her fiancé, and BFF to arrive. Excellent service and great atmosphere. Once seated we received EXCELLENT service and EXCELLENT food. This is by far our favorite California Dreaming restaurant and look forward to our next visit here.“

“I eat here a lot and hate to see the negative review. My parents always said that if you don't have something nice to day dont day it. With that, I have always had an enjoyable experience here. The staff is always kind and helpful. I often use the mobile app to save on any wait, especially if you are going through the drive through. But, you can actually order through the app, do carry out, and its always faster. Thanks for being such a great place to eat.“

“Lauryn is an absolute joy! You can tell she takes her job seriously. She was constantly checking up on everyone offering to grab them anything they could need. She was sweeping, wiping down tables and chairs, attending to customers, and helping out the other employees. She was just so sweet and I hope you guys keep her around. Lauryn, if you’re reading this, thank you so much for making my time at chick-fil-a enjoyable. You remind me so much of my aunt, even down to the looks, who I just lost this year. I also wanted to thank you for giving me that glimpse of somebody I dearly miss. Thank you! ❤️“

“All was well. But everything seemed a bit too salty. And it's not the first time, nor the same location. Salt can always be added, but not extracted. Please chill out with the salty fries etc. Even the sandwich and chicken fingers.. Too much guys.“

“The best Greek Lemon Chicken Soup ever.“

“Went with my dad to get a chicken finger plate... food is great and there is pretty good portion sizes.. they didnt give me a straw for my drink or a spoon for my coleslaw thats the only reason I rated it 4 stars. People are always friendly here. I love the chicken/beach exclusive atmosphere in here!“

“First time last night, loved it!! The place was hopping, everyone was busy and the food was great. Service was fast and very polite. Thanks“

“Whoever was working on February 21, 2026, in the evening, I want to say,”thank you”!! That was the BEST food that I have ever tasted out of that restaurant! I called them directly to tell them, but, my message went to a voicemail. I hope they received it!!! Keep doing what you’re doing because it has improved dramatically!!!! Last night, it was unbelievably good, and I’m still thinking about it the next day,so,I decided to do a review😊 👏 👏 👏!!!!“
