For the full experience it is always best to go to the restaurant and eat it there. Especially at Chic-fil-a because the service and employees are impeccable

The sauce is a combination of BBQ sauce, mayo, and honey mustard.

Always start with the basic #1. It is the gold standard for chikfila. You might think it sounds basic but I can promise you it delivers.

"Had a tornado last night" Yup. Welcome to the Midwest.

Since I first started watching you your English has become perfect almost can't even detect your French accent.

It's only called a burger if it's a ground meat patty. What you have there us a sandwich

Right on👍 I always love a new Marie video 🇺🇲🗽🇨🇵 FRENCHTASTIC EXPLORATIONS

Glad to see you trying this. As others have said, you'll do much better to eat it fresh at the restaurant. I have the Spicy Chicken Sandwich meal when I go there for lunch, and I have the Southwest Chicken Salad when I go there for dinner. Have a good day!

Bonjour Marie, I love the T-shirt. It looks very good on you. The Chick -fil -A near where I live is extremely busy. There is always a line at the drive-thru

I typically would get the non-deluxe chicken sandwich (only has a couple pickles on it) and then put the chik-fil-a sauce on the sandwich.

Bonjour (again) Marie! I would love to see you give Panera Bread a try. They have baguettes (!) and they used to have croissants, but just discontinued them on April 1, 2024. They do have a pastry they call Chocolate Croissant, because it used to be a croissant split open the long way, filled with a nutella type filling, and then chocolate drizzled on top and then powdered sugar dusted as well, but they changed to a puff pastry instead of a croissant, but kept the name. They have a frozen strawberry lemonade that you'd probably like, and their food is fresh, no additives nor preservatives, and organic if/when possible. They have a variety of sandwiches, soups, and salads. Not inexpensive, but worth a try. Bonne journée! ~Be Blessed

Chick fil a is God's gift to mankind. Personally, I favor the Polynesian sauce. Eating in the restaurant is the better experience. You get the food while it's hot and the service is second to none.

For fast food, chick fil a really is the gold standard. Quality of food, service, order accuracy, and speed getting your order are unmatched in my opinion.

The waffle fries and chicken are best heated in the oven if they’re cold. The salads with chicken are very good, too. My fave is #1 with extra pickle & yellow mustard (not honey mustard) and a small salad or cup of fruit if not in the mood for fries.

My favorite is spicy deluxe sandwich with Chick-fil-A sauce. 🤤

Marie, on your next visit to the US, you have to try and compare many different restaurants. It would be very interesting to hear your opinion on multiple fast food places. Or the local Mom&Pop cafes and restaurants that everyone overlooks!

The fries are best fresh and hot. They have the best salad of any fast food restaurants. The milk shakes are so good and their nuggets are the best!

CFA mayo goes so well with their fries.

Thanks! The shirt you're wearing looks good. Do you have more merch? I love your travel videos as well as when you relax and react to new cuisine, etc.

I love your reactions to new food experiences. Your travels have exposed you to many new food combinations. Their waffle fries are great, as is their sauce. I prefer Popeyes chicken sandwiches. There is a young woman from the UK that tries all kinds of American foods and her expressions are priceless as are yours. I recall some of my first experiences in Europe eating foods I had not tasted before or had American versions of them. Nice video

Your bread squeezing makes sense. These ubiquitous style rolls that fast food burger places use across America is not that common elsewhere.

The best thing I used to get was the nuggets with chic fil a sauce and a Dr Pepper. One of these days you need to try your fries with salt/pepper and dip in yellow mustard.

Thank you so much Marie 🥰🤗😉!!!

Marie, your food reviews are hilarious to watch! "First Bite Syndrome"! 🤣 The Chick-fil-A sauce is sold in grocery stores in the sauce isle. You can go buy a few of them and then mail them to yourself in France. Don't UPS or FedEX, just normal everyday US Post Office, and you'll have some back home in your own kitchen! The Waffle Fries are just a great way to start a snack. Add a lot of cheese to them and they're awesome, or take them home and add cheese and chili to them (not the spicy chili because you don't like spice) and then put it in the oven until it's hot and you'll love them! I'm glad you got to experience them this way though. I'm also happy that you added that last comment once you had eaten everything. It really is good food, and the nuggets are fantastic as well. Lastly, I want to congratulate you on your amazing shirt! You're absolutely glowing while wearing it! Thanks for bringing us along on this food review. Hope you're having an awesome day and keep smiling!

My go-to order is the regular chicken sandwich with waffle fries and an Oreo milkshake. Their milkshakes are #1 in the country for nationwide fast food chains in my opinion

My favorite thing about Chick-Fil-A near me is that there’s a Popeyes right across the street.

Might need to try it in non deluxe form to get a taste of what most of us prefer.

So happy you enjoyed your lunch. It is always best when fresh at the restaurant. Love your T-shirt. It is perfect. Thank you for sharing and as always be safe and have fun.

Hi Miss Marie !!! Yes the Chick - Fil - A does have A Terrific Chicken Sandwich 🥪. And yes the fries look a Little weird but they Taste pretty good to me !!! & The sweet tea is really good as well 😊 As always the like button 🔘 has been Illuminated 😁👍👍😎🤗🇺🇲🔆🌞🌞☀️🏝️

All Fast food restaurants have a special sauce Mickey D's has the Big Mac sauce Chic-Fil-A has the Chic-Fil-A sauce and so on. They are all almost the same.

I always get the nuggets. The Polynesian sauce is my favorite. The waffle fries are really only good when they're hot. Once they start to cool, they get blah. The regular lemonade is better IMO. You should try Arby's (roast beef) while you're here. Get the Beef and Cheddar sandwich with the curly fries. I'm not a shake person so can't recommend one but I usually don't get a drink from there.

What sets Chick-fil-A apart from the competition is the customer service. You will never experience nicer or more polite fast food employees anywhere else. By ordering online rather than dine-in, you missed the customer experience and didn't get your food hot & fresh. That said, my favorite items are the Spicy Deluxe sandwich and the Cobb Salad with Honey Mustard dressing. P.S. try the sauce on the chicken! 😉

I put the sauce on the chicken sandwich too. Glad you enjoyed it!

You’re not going to get the best version having it delivered unfortunately. I used to peel and cut the potatoes with a waffle cutter at the chick fil a I worked at, they were cooked fresh everyday. Also filleted the chicken breasts by hand, and cut the chicken into nuggets. Maybe it’s changed since I last worked there. The original restaurant is in Georgia. Definitely eat at the restaurant next time if you want the best food experience. ❤

Thank you 🙏 I’m starving now ☝️🍔🍟🧇🥤👏👏👏👍🎥👋

Hello hello hello Marie..... My favorite item on any menu....is the xtra large serving of Frenchtastic Explorations. Nothing goes better for breakfast, lunch, or dinner than seeing new discoveries thru the lens of France's greatest export.....❤ from fla usa

Their nuggets and chicken strips are AMAZING. Their chicken sandwiches are better without cheese and tomato because those things take away from the flavor of their chicken which is their selling point

Chick-Fil-A is my favorite for chicken sandwiches. I get it straight, pickle and extra butter on the bread with the chicken patty.

I am really happy that you enjoyed your lunch. It's just not for me I have tried eating there on 3 separate occasions. But I 'm glad you liked it.

Hi Marie! Thanks for sharing your experience trying Chick-fil-A! I really like their frozen lemonade, their Chick-fil-A sauce, and their fries. I always use the sauce with the chicken and then use ketchup with the fries. Waffle fries are my fav because they hold more ketchup, and I love my fries drowned in ketchup 😆. Be blessed! ❤

Delivery charges! I was at Chick Fil a yesterday. In person. 12 piece nugget meal $12.00

I never had Chick-fil-a when I was young as it was just a food place in the mall. Then I had a sandwich that was provided as lunch while working an event or show where we couldn’t leave - it was just the pain sandwich and it was smashed flat and cold. It was still pretty good! So I decided to get my own as I knew of several stand-alone stores out of the mall. I thought I might have made a mistake as the place was crowded and I wouldn’t have time - actually it was very organized and the process moved quick and the service people were sooooo much better than we have become used to! The order takers look you in the eyes and smile, they speak articulately and type in the order quickly and ask/offer relevant sauces/sides/sizes. The food was prepared by people that understood hygienic practices and followed them! Last, the food was assembled and packaged well and tasted good! They don’t have a huge variety of products, but the food they do serve is good and the experience getting the food is good! I get a basic spicy chicken sandwich with extra pickles, fries get ketchup that has a packet of Texas Pete sauce mixed in, and the tea/lemonade mix to drink.

I think next trip to US you should try chicken 🐔 &waffles , its a thing here in US . We have alot in Chicago and most southern states. Oh and collard greens ❤ yummy mustard greens are just as yummy too 😋

My recommendation is to get chicken strips versus the nuggets. I find the chicken strips are very good with any of their sauces.

I appreciate your honesty

I always get the Chic-Fil-A Deluxe meal myself. Sometimes I add the nuggets or a chocolate shake. In the 1990's they were pretty basic and bad, but I think the entire company got overhauled and redone from the ground up (much like Hardee's did several years later). Ever since, and as long as you like chicken, I don't think you'll find a better fast-food chicken sandwich... with the service being top-notch every time I have gone. They really go above and beyond and usually seem to be well-staffed. I have never worked for them, so I don't know how they are on that side, but while many fast food places seem to only have the bare minimum employees even when it would be busy, Chic-Fil-A seems to have a decent number working, and they are usually quite fast in terms of service and fresh meals. FYI: You probably would have liked the waffle fries more if they were hot (temperature, not spicy hot). Getting them 25 to 30 minutes later might have dulled the taste, and I don't think many fries at many fast food places taste as good if they are cold. BTW: They are always closed on Sundays, and most Christian holidays, so don't be surprised. 😁

My favorite things to get at Chick-fil-A are the Market Salad, chicken nuggets, waffle fries and Chick-fil-A sauce.

The waffle fries are better without sauce (just make sure they are salted and hot or they won't have Mich flavor) . The sandwich is better with just the pickles if still hot. Skip the deluxe.

Sorry about that, but the waffle fries are often called 'air conditioned fries' because they get cold so fast. Also, the proper order is not the deluxe sandwich but the regular sandwich. And no Chick-fil-A sauce, get the honey mustard and/or Polynesian sauce. Hey get one of each and try them both, they are for the sandwich not the fries, ketchup is for fries.

CFA's fries are not salted and definitely need a sauce. I typically skip them, and go back to get their ice cream, after I've finished my food (so it doesn't have time to melt). I always dine, and never do take-out from any place (except for Chinese food).

No matter what it is it's going to be better warm. Especially the Waffle fries.

Did you do Culvers? Love the custard. Need to try a chocolate malt...diet adverse. ❤

You've ate food from AZ. Chick-fil-A 'spicy" is no more spicy than any of that. It's quite mild, but more flavorful than the regular version. I think you would have liked it, had you not seen the word "spicy."

When I was a teenager, our mall had put in a new Chick-Fil-A. Part of getting people to try the new restaurant was by giving free samples of their chicken nuggets. They always had the cutest girls standing out front handing them out, so doing what young men do, I would try to talk to them in hopes of getting a date under the guise of wanting a free sample. This went on, day after day, and soon enough, I had started to develop an addiction to Chick-Fil-A. I would would crave it. Sadly, the restaurant closed, leaving me with no way to obtain my yummy chicken. There was a hole inside now. Many years later, I found out there was a Chick-Fil-A two states away. As fate would have it, I needed to drive that way anyway, so with a slight detour, I was able to recapture my love for that flavor. Once I returned home, I had found there was a Chick-Fil-A the next county over this whole time! *shakes fist at the sky angrily*

I still haven't eaten at Chic-fil-a...you've become more American than I am!

You need to try Braums. A Braums cheeseburger has the freshest vegetables and the bun is fantastic. They raise their own cattle and vegetables. Braums is a chain in Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. AND they make their own ice cream.

You can actually buy the sauce at the grocery store in a bottle to use on a lot of things 🌷

Marie the sauce goes on the sandwich. It changes the whole thing. Please try eating in next time , their service is AMAZING!

Try Raising Cain's. But make sure NOT to have it delivered go to the location.

I feel the distaste for the fast-food prices. I couldn't agree more. They are getting out of hand here in the states to be honest.

The Chick-fil-A sauce is actually meant for the chicken, but it is good for dipping your fries too.

I prefer the regular Chick-fil-A sandwich because it doesn't have lettuce & tomato & I get Mac n cheese instead of fries. & half sweet tea half lemonade which we call an Arnold Palmer. 😂

I'm a southwest southerner and I am one that loves mayo. One of the reasons I eat at CFA is because they let you season your own food. I know you don't like spicy, but I think you could handle the spicy chicken easily. As far as the tomatoes...If you want it fresh, get up and go there. Veggies don't travel well. Peace, Love!!

If you get a chance, go two hours south of St Louis and visit some of the parks in th St Francois Mountains.

I like the spicey chicken sandwich but you said you didn't like you didn't like spicey.

Bonjour! Comme quelqu'un qui habite à Chicago, j'adore la culture et l'espirit francaise. Par contre, la culture nurriture americaine (surtout du sud et ici a chicago) est incroyable.

Unfortunately we don't have Chick-fil-A here in Canada. It is only available in the US. It looks delicious though! If you're wanting to try a good fast food chicken sandwich, I would recommend trying the crispy chicken sandwich at Burger King. I like adding cheese and bacon to mine. I often get funny looks considering BK is mostly known for their whoppers, but it's one of those places where people don't think about trying their chicken sandwich. It's worth it though! 👌🍔

Adding the Chick-Fil-A Sauce on the Sandwich would have elevated it tot he next level! Otherwise it is just a good Chicken Sandwich. Also, I agree about the Waffle Fries. They are pretty plain, but I really like the texture of them compared to other Fast Food places. Also, once again they Sauce takes the Fries to the next level. Next time actually go to the Chick-Fil-A store as the service there is like no other Fast Food place you've been!

Cobb salad with grilled chicken nuggets and avocado ranch dressing! 😋

I think most fast food has about a 10-minute life expectancy. Never tastes as good when delivered 30+ minutes after it’s made. Best to hit the drive-thru and pig out like a pro in parking lot somewhere.

Criss-cut or waffle fries are that way because of how the potatoes are cut. That they are deep fried is a side note. Carl's Jr. fast food restaurants season their Criss- Cut fries. Taste even better with ranch dressing. I like Chic- Fil-A's chicken nuggets and sandwiches.

bonjour, journée, soir Marie, So, i do really like Chick-fil-A but love it.... not really. I always order the Deluxe Spicy Chicken Sandwich & either Sweet Ice Tea or Frozen Lemonade, i agree that the Waffle Fries are basic you need to dip them in a sauce for a more satisfying taste! So my recommendations for good Chicken is Jollie Bee, its a Filipino fried chicken joint that found its way here to America (mainly in the Western States) where there are huge Filipino Communities its also in other states, but not as prominent as California, but man o man its delicious!!! If you do happen to find yourself in Jollie Bee order the Fried Chicken Original & Spicy (if ur okay with spicy), Pineapple/Mango drink, the Mango Pie & any othe special pies they might have; Taro, Buko, Banana pies etc....). You might want to try the Palabok (a thin white noodle dish that's on the salty side bcuz of the thick shrimp sauce, chicharon, green onions & lemon!). It might be a shock to ur taste buds at the start, but it's totally up to you to try the Palabok.

Like most fast food, it's considerably better if you aet it fresh, at the location. Especially the fries. As an American, the only fries I'll eat without ketchup is McDonalds. All others are meant to be dipped. The sandwich is good, but really needs some sauce, such a Chick-Fil-A, or Honey Mustard, to really make the sandwich.

Wow, Marie, that is sooo cool!!! I love Chick-fil-A, and it is Lauren's favorite place for me to take her for a meal 🤗😍, and she gobbles down 30 or so nuggets 🤣🤣!!! I am SO sorry that I had to work and help my Notre Dame student past midnight tonight, so I will not be able to send you my comment until later today after I awake 😢😢, but I will get it done for you I promise!! 😇🙏🥰 And I want you to know that I am in love with your beautiful new Frenchtastic shirt 🧡 that I would purchase for myself if that was ever possible (and for Lauren too, who would adore that!! 🥰🥰) You also might want to try "Raising Cane's" chicken as well, if you can find them on your next USA trip 🤗😇!!

Don't give up on the waffle fries. They have a different texture, and to be appreciated I believe that it needs to be eaten dine in.

Chick-fil-a food is just better than average. the real draw is the service. my fav is just the plain #1. waffle fries with mayo, and their sweet tea or lemonade.

a good fast food place. Doesn't taste like fast food for the most part. Blue looks good on you

When it comes to the regular chicken sandwich, I prefer Chick-fil-A. When it comes to the spicy version, I prefer Popeyes. That said, I don't think of the "spicy" chicken sandwich to be overbearing when it comes to heat, but leaves enough to keep the mouth tingly and salivating for the next bite. I like the waffle fries, but I prefer them as fresh as possible so that they remain hot and crispy. They are simply a thicker form of pommes gaufrettes that you find in France. As others have stated, the food is better at the restaurant.

Hey! Welcome to STL! I really wish you would try local greats here instead of fast food. Not that we have good fried chicken here. We don’t. But you should try snoots. That’s very regional and so tasty! T-ravs are ok. They can be really good, but usually are just ok. IMOs is not great. Best STL pizza in my opinion is papa Vito’s over in Belleville. That’s good stuff. But we have such a great food culture here. Fairmont City with Mexican food. We have the Balkan Treat Box which even inspired Alton Brown. Try out black market eats, Vicia, or a host of other great local places. I think that Midwest taste is generally bland, but STL is enough of a mixing pot to have some really fantastic food. Don’t miss out on snoots though. So good

I never get fried chicken like you had. I usually get grilled chicken. Much better.

Sorry, Mary, food was subpar. Usually I do get the nuggets hot and fresh with the sriracha sauce. I was talking to my son today about chicken sandwiches since I had a bad experience at Wendys. He said the best fast food chicken sandwich is from Habit Burger which is a Cali place here in Maryland. Bon apetite! 👍🏻

The sauce is for the sandwhich

Glad you tried the Chic. Did you use your microwave to heat it up? Great to see you and thanks for the video. Stay well and be safe.

For me, the Chick fil A sauce goes on the sandwich. Fries demand ketchup, lol.

I love their nuggets it's really the only thing I get there. I always get the Polynesian sauce.

I gotta believe the delay in delivery time, resulting in a lukewarm meal at best, did not put things in the best light.

its just simple fresh classic chicken sandwich 😊

I never have food delivered to the house because 99% of the time, it's always cold.😢

She got merch !

Nice Cardinal Hat!!!!

Love their milk shakes and nuggets

Thanks Marie!

It’s the best if you eat it fresh. A half hour later it’s not going to be great. That’s why I always go to ChikFilA their food id fresh unlike every other fast food restaurant.

I totally agree with you on your assessment, I like Popeyes better personally

I don't eat out much, but the taste of a home grown fresh tomato is so much better than what you get at a fast food place, for sure. 😁

We eat ketchup on fries. Sauce is only for chicken strips or nuggets.

Chick-fil-A is way better fresh (dine-in), than it ever is as takeout. Same thing applies to In-N-Out.

Now that I think about it, I don't think I've been to any chain restaurants in a long time. All the best spots are local!😉

I like their base sauce but polynesian is my favorite.

I love your honesty. And it's fine if you changed your mind and and like it 😅
