I find the quality of Chick-fil-a products to be the best of the fast food market in Georgia. (There's some stuff we don't have, so I can't say I've tried everything.) They do a lot with flavoring the breading and the marinade, so it's pretty flavorful for chicken breast.
And, if you have the self-discipline to order appropriately, you could actually eat pretty healthy food there. They have some beautiful salads, side salads, grilled chicken sandwich that doesn't taste like cardboard, etc.
They also do some seasonal marketing of different shakes and desserts which means even though there's a limited enough range of products to ensure pretty good quality of each, there's also enough variety that very frequent customers can be pleasantly surprised periodically with a favorite item that might not always be available.
The stores, with the exception of some in airports, are almost always really clean and super well-managed. You get fast, polite service from everyone in the store.
I live within 45 minutes of the original Chick-fil-a and the corporate offices, so the local operators may have to be on their toes more than they are in other regions. It wouldn't surprise me if the future you got from Atlanta, the weaker the experience is.
I wouldn't expect any of this to sway someone philosophically opposed to their corporate spending, but it's consistently tasty.
It will be interesting to see if the kiss-in folks get any satisfaction. I'm a little worried that some customers might give them grief, but I'd expect the staff to be trained how not to handle stuff.
