Chicken Shops in Lufkin, TX

“Okay, let me just say this: I’ve eaten at Chick-fil-A for years and I know manager material when I see it. And honey, Alan Gamboa? HE. IS. IT.

This man isn’t even a manager (yet!) and he’s already doing manager things. Like??? He steps in when people are slacking, keeps his cool when the lunch rush is insane, and somehow STILL manages to be nice to literally everyone (even the customers who ask for 12 sauces for one nugget). 🙄💅

He’s the type that shows up early, stays late, and actually cares about the job, not just clocking in and out. And don’t even get me started on his work ethic. Alan doesn’t just go the extra mile, he builds the whole highway.

I’ve seen managers with less leadership in their whole body than Alan has in his pinky. Give this man a title, a headset, and some authority already. Trust me, the store would run smoother and morale would skyrocket.

If he’s not manager material, then I don’t know what is. End of story.“

“Chick fil has always been one of my favorite places to go. They always have such great chicken sandwiches. Their Waffle fries are the bomb. I understand that they are a Christian organization and that is great. But I really wish that they would open up on Sundays because I find myself with few options on Sunday because I just don't like to go to a lot of places.“

“Every time I go to Louisiana to see my family, I always stop here to eat. It’s sort of like a tradition. Some of the workers here know and recognize me when I come in. These select workers also know my order by heart. The food always comes out great, with no problems, and I’ve never had a mistake in my orders from here. They know what they are doing. However, the only thing they need to work on is professionalism with some of their staff. Yesterday, I saw none of the people that knew me, but the ones that were there were rude. They barely acknowledged me, and were cussing left and right loud enough for the dining room to hear. When asked for assistance in ordering, they kind of laughed amongst each other, finished their conversation, and then decided to come let us order. I’ve never had an issue with Raising Canes, being my favorite chicken restaurant, however, it was yesterday where I saw that the management needs to teach their staff professionalism at work. Either way, the food was out fast and it was great.“

“Long wait but worth it. Food was very good. Polite , well mannered customer service.“
