I absolutely love this location, primarily due to the AMAZING service. It's Chick-Fil-A, great chicken sandwiches and shakes...highly recommended, super tasty, etc. (especially the spicy chicken) However, this location stands out. Most especially for the older gentleman who is always there running the front of house operations. He is a kind, older man in a little bow tie, and lacking hair - obvious joy in living is evident in how he interacts with every customer. He TAKES PRIDE in this restaurant, and making sure every aspect of your visit is above and beyond any other fast food experience. It "feels" like you are dining out. I sincerely hope they pay him well. I ONLY go to this location because I know I will have a cheerful greeting and top-qual service. If I want Chick-Fil-A I will drive the added 10-15 minutes to come to this one instead of the one closer to my house. There are no "worthless jobs". This man is an example of "be the best at what you do, no matter what you do". I find it inspiring. If you can eat at a fast food restaurant and be inspired, I call that a miracle.

This location is clean, has good parking, and has the same awesome food as any other Chick-fil-a. The staff are friendly and actually appear to be enjoying themselves. This location is a bit short-handed, but it is hard to find good help in the fast-food industry. Here's the skinny. The good: Good food, easy parking, awesome staff The bad: The music wasn't quite loud enough. The skinny: I have eaten here before and I will eat here again. On the political side, this has always been a conservative Christian establishment. Hearing that the head honcho supports a biblical view of marriage should shock no one. They are closed Sundays for a reason folks. If you don't agree with their views that is one thing, but digging at a location because of a political difference is unfair and uncalled for. Lets keep politics out of our reviews and just review the food and locations.

One girl was running the counter by herself while the other two (a guy and girl) behind the counter were ignoring everyone except for the two stock boys from Publix that they were flirting with. I waited patiently for someone to await on me and the guy just stood around not making eye contact with anyone after the two stock boys left. Anyways, he did the same thing again when I went to get a refill except this time he stood there tapping on the register buttons and again sneaking glances like he was up to something. The one girl that was working was clearly annoyed. She pointed out the survey after I said I was trying to figure out if that guy was working. I checked his tag and saw he was the "Team Leader." The strips were good and the fries were fresh but as always, a rip off in terms of how much you get for the price.

Since I hail from two places which do not have Chick Fil A, I had to try it when I discovered there was one in St. Pete! My dad and I did the drive-thru and I ordered a spicy chicken sandwich combo. Boy the sandwich really lived up to it's name, with a little more intensity than Wendy's. My favorite part were the waffle fries, which seems like it's becoming more of a rarity at places. My mom said she had a very good experience dining inside, in which the staff used her name as much as possible and came to her table to refill her beverages! That little extra step doesn't really cost the business money, but shows the employees are engaged and really care about the customer. Since that was not my experience I won't include it in this review, however it does make me want to dine inside next time!

Chick-Fil-A is okay. I do not understand the hype of it all. I do like them better than PDQ, but I just feel like these places have limited options. The best part of Chick-Fil-A is their sauces. Polynesian sauce and honey mustard smoked bbq is my favorite. It's not really a bbq sauce, it's more of a honey mustard sauce. It's served in packets. They also have a honey mustard sauce but that is more horse radishy or something. There's waffles fries are my favorite, but the chicken is okay, but small.

Never been to this store before, but I must say the people working here were the friendliest people and the food was good. In fact we were given food that was ordered wrong for free. Outstanding group, most chickfillas are good this one stands out. I noticed a reviewer complaining about the companys stance on the gay marriage. Well I plan on eating more chickfila i like the food, and I love the people they hire. No one is forced to eat there. I can't stand hollywoods take on many many issues and I try not to contribute to their bottom line. I don't write a review for a movie based on the actor/directors stance on political positions. If I did I would have all 1 star reviews for almost every movie. I do not give a star rating because of an individuals choice. Has nothing to do with the service and food I order.

This is the friendliest restaurant I have ever been to. Not a minute goes by without a staff member smiling and asking if everything is okay. The restaurant itself is always clean and the food is always delicious! Recommendation: #4 Spicy Chicken with an extra side of cole slaw.

It's a Chick- fil-A. The food is what you would expect and the service is good. It is good for anyone in the area looking for fast food. It is particularly clean ad well.

The kids that work here on St. Pete Beach are friendly and courteous. They even came by table to give us refills.

Horrible service. Worst I've experienced at a chic fila that are so known for great, family friendly service. Manager William was unresponsive to customer complaints. Staff acted like kids dressing up in pretend sports wear for one free sandwich on Labor Day holiday was criminal activity. Napkin signs, necklaces, etc. Kids were just having fun and ordered milkshakes, fries, nuggets and plenty to allow use of Labor Day deal. Won't be back. 4th street chic fila rocks with service and kids!

I stopped by here on vacation in Florida as we were staying down the road from here. It's clean and the staff are professional and keep up on things and stop by your table and ask how you're doing. There's a great view of the public beach from your seat and plenty of parking.
