I love the time mentality these days...OMG!...not a whole 5-6 minutes to get your food. What did you do while waiting? Read a novel?

IT IS SO GOOD!!!!!!! There are some pros and cons to this new location however.

Pros
- Freaking delicious!
- They have head office staff their to introduce and explain what they are about
- Nearly same friendly service as in states. They took my trash right off my table
- Quality was on par to the stateside locations and better than my last visit in San Diego

Cons
- Limited menu. They are starting out with only chicken/chicken deluxe sandwiches and nuggets. No grilled or spicy or chicken strips
- Took about 5-6 mins to get the food a little slower than normal but they were on top of the orders and kept you in the loop so you weren't feeling forgotten
-At the airport you obviously have to pay for parking we were over the 30 mins

They advised if the rollout goes well and people embrace the store they will roll out more menu items. We also seemed to be the first people to venture out who did not work at the airport. The head office guy who greeted us was ecstatic to hear we traveled to the store.

Give us an update in 2-3 days after you have been camped in the crapper.


Evil Jesus Freaks!

You do know what fast food is right? I wasn't complaining I was advising what it was like. In the states you order and if it isn't ready immediately you sit down and they deliver it to you. That service was not present here. I am sure the 15 other people after us (we just beat the rush) who had to stand around and wait for the orders would have preferred the order to be ready faster.

Having worked in fast food (many moons ago), they typically want 90-120 seconds or less from order to fully served. So yeah, 5-6 minutes is abnormal for fast food. Something worth losing your #### over? No, but sounds like fundmark19 just made an observation rather than a complaint.

Won't be trying it, myself. Dan Cathy is allowed his opinion (and to use the profits from the franchise to fund anti-LGBT lobby groups), and I'm allowed to vote with my wallet.

The fact that a franchise that doesn't open on Sundays is allowed in an airport (ie: operating 7 days a week) seems incredibly stupid to me.

That was my "denial" that that happens by going with the no comment. Obviously it does. Pro Tip on how to get fresh burgers and fries: Ask for no salt or no seasoning, that way they have to make em fresh.

Ah, gotcha'

Yeah, when I order from a fast food place, I always special order so as to avoid old, already cooked crap. I usually order my burger without mayo as an example for this reason and also the reason that when you don't, they put half a jar on the damn thing. Who needs that much mayo??

Do any of these places serve chicken and waffles? I love that combination every time I go to the States and I wish more places had it here.

The answer is whichever location has a swingers' club meet in their basement.

IHOP in the city does as well.

As for the 5 or 6 min thing, an US fav of mine (Jack in the Box) takes about that long, since after salmonella poisoning in Seattle a bunch of years ago, they don't start cooking things until you order.
