I usually don't like mac and cheese because most commercial ones are nothing more than pasta with cheesy water. Even the craft ones everyone loves are bad, I have to put my own cheese and make it real cheesy. But chickfile is a god sent when it comes to mac n cheese.
I concur about the kale salad. It’s better than you might expect. I was disappointed when they discontinued the coleslaw but the kale is a reasonable substitute.
I tried the apple cinnamon Buddy Fruits recently (although it may have been at a Popeye's, not Chick-Fil-A), because I had just gotten immediate dentures and was relearning how to chew. The apple sauce was OK, but I had to squeeze the pouch contents into the empty bowl from one of the other sides. As to Chick-Fil-A's other sides, I love soup, although I've only seen the chicken noodle soup thus far at the Chick-Fil-As I've eaten at. The fruit cup sounds yummy, and I love their waffle fries. What is that "superfood side" like, though? (It sounds like cooked deep leafy greens, but I've never tried it yet.)
That Chick-fil-A mac & cheese is fire. I couldn’t get enough of that side dish and yeah that is straight up criminal that Chick-fil-A hasn’t market this more. if they give me the option to put in some chicken breasts in there, let alone bacon then I am all red 2 go.
OK, these videos have to be written by AI. They must be. The video title is "We Tried Chick-Fil-A's Sides & Here's The Ones To Leave Alone", but Mashed puts the best side as number 1, and the worst at number 10 ? Wow. I can't believe this one got past the Mashed video quality review. Given the video title, wouldn't you rank the sides from best (#10) to the absolute worst (#1) ? Dumb AI, but really dumb Mashed staff.
Their chicken noodle soup is surprisingly bad. It just doesn’t taste right and I’m not sure what that supposive chicken meat really is because it does not have the taste or texture of actual chicken. This was a big disappointment because they are clearly not using any of their own chicken leftovers/scraps that they could use to make a homemade soup. Their fries have the potential to be one of the best but they are usually not served hot/fresh which is frustrating. It’s rare that I receive a fresh hot batch. I will say their Mac n cheese is indeed top tier delicious! It’s expensive though so I don’t it get very often except for an occasional treat.
