Is Chick-fil-A legit?
Legit, mixed reviewsChick-fil-A is a legitimate, family-owned chicken chain with restaurants across the US, which is exactly why fake giveaways keep borrowing its name. A Facebook post promising a free meal or gift basket if you share it and click a link is one of those, and the company has called such offers fake.
What we checked
- Roots go back to 1946
- Head office near Atlanta, Georgia
- Restaurants closed on Sundays
- Ratings on other review websites: 2.5/5
Watch out for
- A Facebook post or message promising a free Chick-fil-A meal or gift basket if you share it and click a link.
- Chicken served undercooked or cold, noticed only after you have left the drive-thru.
- A problem at one restaurant, which is run day to day by a local franchisee rather than head office.

How do I reach Chick-fil-A customer service?
The Chick-fil-A customer service number in our data is 1-866-232-2040, and the contact section on chick-fil-a.com sends written cases to the same team. For anything ordered in the Chick-fil-A app, the help section in the app is quicker, because the order number and the restaurant are attached to your message automatically.
Almost every Chick-fil-A restaurant is run by a local operator rather than by the company itself, so name the restaurant, the date and the time in whatever you send: that is what decides whether your case reaches the person who can act on it. Operator and head office each pointing at the other? Start your complaint on our website: we help you write an effective one in minutes.
How do I get a refund from Chick-fil-A?
For a counter or drive-thru order, go back with your receipt and ask for the manager: the restaurant that took the payment is the one that can return it. For an app order, use the help section in the Chick-fil-A app and quote the order number. If you ordered through DoorDash, Uber Eats or Grubhub, the refund is handled by that platform rather than by the restaurant.
Check the bag before you drive off, and photograph what you did receive if something is missing or wrong. Refused a refund on an order you paid for? Put the order number, the amount and what went wrong in your complaint here, and other customers left short at that same restaurant can back your case up.
What do I do if my Chick-fil-A order is wrong?
Call the restaurant that made it rather than the national number. A wrong or incomplete order is put right by the location, usually with a remake or a refund, and the sooner you call the easier it is for them to check your order against their ticket. Have the order number from the receipt or the app ready, plus the time you collected it.
For a delivery, keep everything as it arrived and photograph the items and the sealed bag before you unpack any further: missing items are decided on evidence, and once the food is gone there is nothing left to show. If the order involved an allergy or something that should never have been served, say that first and ask for a manager, because it belongs with food safety and not with a refund desk.
How do I complain to Chick-fil-A corporate?
If the restaurant does not put it right, escalate through the customer service number 1-866-232-2040 or the contact section on chick-fil-a.com, and ask for a case reference. Because restaurants are run by independent operators, corporate normally passes the case back to the operator of that location, so a message naming the restaurant, the date, the time and what you already tried is the one that moves.
Keep it short and factual, and state the outcome you want. A complaint filed through our complaint process backs that escalation up: we bring your case to their attention through emails, social media and paper complaint letters.
Is that free Chick-fil-A meal offer on Facebook real?
No, not if it asks you to share a post, click a link or fill in a survey first. Chick-fil-A has disowned Facebook offers of free meals for a year and of anniversary gift baskets, and surveys behind such offers collect personal details instead of giving away food.
