The ever lengthening list includes Taco Bell (YUM), KFC, Wendy s, Burger King, Chick-fil-A, Arby’s, Jimmy John’s, Shake Shack (SHAK).
Chick-fil-A Opening Another Location in Machesney Park
From Machesney Park and all points north; driving all the way to the corner of Perryville Road and State Street for a chicken sandwich, will soon be over.
Chick-fil-A s irresistible spicy chicken sandwich. When I get that taste for one (and some of those incredible waffle fries) absolutely nothing else will satisfy. All four of my kids could eat a giant bucket of their nuggets. I actually wish they would sell them that way. I think we d also need a big jar Chick-fil-A sauce.
The restaurant just introduced their first ever grilled option for the spicy chicken sandwich. I just tried it last night and it did not disappoint. Neither did the Cilantro Lime Sauce that was created just for this sandwich release.
