The one in tenlytown? Always busy when I go.

There's more than one Chick Fil A in NW DC. In addition to the Tenleytown one, there's one in Columbia Heights. I go there about once a week to get a salad and it's always packed too. The line moves efficiently and quickly though because they take your order on a tablet while you're in the line.

I have never seen more than three people in there including the staff.

Go there at 1:00 tomorrow and tell me what you see.

I tried the Cobb salad today based on the recommendations here. What a joke. It was not good and I don't understand the worship of the roasted red peppers. The lettuce tasted like it had been treated with preservatives and the chicken tasted old. It was small and not cheap. A lot of the sandwich type restaurants have much better salads. Pot Bellys has much better salads for approx the same price.

Personal preference then, as I’ve always found the potbelly’s salads to be icky (often frozen, watery but not chick fil a. Also probably depends on the particular stores you frequent. I work at UMD and think the student union chick fil a is much better than the rt 1 potbelly’s. I could eat the cfa Cobb salad at least once a week!

I do, and the CFAs in Montgomery County are always SUPER busy. I've never been in an empty one.

They are opening a new one on 270. The one in Olney osn’t Crazy busy but the one on Rockville Pike is always a madhouse. And the Germantown one is also crazy.

Nobody cares where you will and will not eat. CFA isnt hurting because of it.

Oh no! Sorry to hear you had a bad salad. I eat a CFA Cobb often and I've had different experiences depending on the location. Some CFAs are better than others. That aside, I always ask for fresh chicken.

The Southwest salad is far better. I'm not a cobb fan either.

Here's another great option--combining grilled chicken nuggets with their kale and broccolini side salad.

The CF salad isn't even in the same league. The Pot Bellys salad with spinach and hummus is twice as large and is more like a real restaurant salad. The CF salad is one step away from the McDonalds dessicated artificial child sized salad. I've never had a watery or frozenish salad from pb.

Whatever dressing they put on the kale and broccolini salad is delicious. I don't like kale or broccolini, but I'll happily eat that salad.
