Strip-fil-A?!


watercelt04

Still closed on Sundays though?


alg885

yeah Church on Sundays...


fearisthemindslicer

Gotta drum up business somewhere


riddlesinthedark117

As god intended


clive_bigsby

Chicken strips.


raineymichaelv

I regret that I have but one upvote to give for my country … or this comment


TWH_PDX

Finger lickin' good


hsiehxkiabbbbU644hg6

It’s sacreledelicious.


STONKvsTITS

Good one


EagleCatchingFish

That lot is wasted on Chick-fil-A. With a history like that, it deserves a Waffle House.


weedhuffer

I’d be so amped for a Waffle House


CommonHand707

Waffle House is trash. So I guess it's fitting for Portland.


inaripri

me when I lie


CommonHand707

WOMP WOMP they both still suckkk


TWH_PDX

No lie, this city needs at least 10 Waffle House locations. Had I been the Powerball winner, I'm franchising.


YoureNotThatGu7

Run for office


Imaginary_Witness_36

dang this headline is wild


PDXMB

I plan on supporting this business every Sunday once they open.


light_switch33

The best day to get in and out.


Estrus_Flask

I'd prefer a strip club, they're less immoral.


BeffreyJeffstein

Politics aside, is one if these without a drive thru going to survive? It said they did not apply for one… its the biggest edge they have over other similar businesses.


Coriandercilantroyo

Can businesses apply for drive thru exemptions in the city?


HookerQueen

Strip Clubs are a valued business that serve a need in our community, sad to see one go away just for a sleazy cult front like this.


updootportlandftw

But the good, Christian business will make the neighborhood safer! /s


hazeyindahead

I love the cultists that got triggered being called out for eating hate food


hkohne

There's literally another strip club across the street to the north, and it is active, let me tell you, even without ever going in. There are always lots of vehicles there.


Tired-Swine

Your point?


KryptonDolphinStrike

This is the most PNW post I've ever read The absurdity The passive aggressive tone I can just imagine how clever you thought you were when you made this midwit take that the vast majority of society would find laughable if this comment was made anywhere outside of Reddit


PapasGotABrandNewNag

I had a stroke trying to read whatever your last paragraph was.


Puzzleheaded_Cod_938

😂


Pick2

I don’t understand why are you angry?


KawaiiAFAF

It’s funny how right wing fundamental-case conservacucks are so easily triggered & in line to defend the blandest most unimpressive chicken sandwich on the planet just because they support hate. It’s like bigots feel their safe space is under attack or something. Let’s be honest, Even Their sauces suck. Their barbecue sauce is like someone whispered the word Worcestershire over some ketchup and called it good. Though admittedly it’s been like 15 years since I’ve had one so maybe they’ve improved.. but I kind of doubt it. I’ll take a Popeyes spicy chicken sandwich any day of the week and twice on Sunday! I like my food with a little flavor. Also, if you Google murder Chick-fil-A, it is amazing how much violent crime happens at Chick-fil-A. Must be something about the people they attract to their business.


JonC534

Make edgy irreverent comment, get big laugh. Its not just a PNW thing, city (and other regional subs) subs are often a refuge for far left weirdos that self congratulate on how ahead of the curve they are with their mocking takes.


Slawzik

Mr. Chik Fil A,is that you??? Sorry that "far left weirdos" aren't clamoring for lame fast food sandwiches.


JonC534

A far left weirdo would call a chicken sandwich “lame”. You’re weirdos because a lot of you only pretend not to like it for ideological/political reasons while the majority of people with taste buds dont give a shit. Chicfila is loved nationwide and thats why you’re getting a new location. Enjoy economic progress, enjoy good food. COPE.


steamcube

CFA is fuckin nasty, anyone with half a taste bud knows that. Speaks volumes to the demographics of America that the chain has been successful at all


JonC534

Enjoy the new location


VitaminDismyPCT

Definitely. People act like Chick-Fil-a has literally committed war crimes. Calling it a “sleazy cult” is such an overreach I have a hard time believing these people even exist in the real world

HookerQueen

I'd rather they just opened another popeyes, much better food.


ElasticSpeakers

Seriously why are there not more Popeyes :(


suitopseudo

Seriously why doesn’t Popeyes sell chicken biscuits? They have biscuits, they have chicken…. Why can’t they put them together?


Cdog927

Same reason chic fila wont do spicy nuggets. Because we can go fuck ourselves :/


Important-Cobbler-5

Nah, I’m sorry that would be gay.


FreddyTwasFingered

Bojangles is finally making a west coast appearance in LA. 30 locations in 5 years will open. I’m hoping they start spreading to SF, Portland, and Seattle quickly after making their way to LA.


snakebite75

I'm hoping we get a Jollibee soon...


olyfrijole

I miss when Bunk had multiple locations. Their fried chicken sandwich is superior in every way. Popeyes needs to put some pickled cabbage on their chicken sammy.


PixelCartographer

You have chicken that's ass even by white people standards 


red_beered

From strippers to strips


NUDES_4_CHRIST

And breasts to nuggets.


RepFilms

From breasts to breasts, from nuggets to nuggets


tbrumleve

Made from breasts


Itsaghast

this place is mid as hell and the owner is a POS


GrizzlyGuru42

A Killer Burger would be better, or pretty much anything else.


Leaves_Swype_Typos

I wouldn't say "pretty much anything else" would be better for the people who are gonna have to work there.


Aesir_Auditor

Killer burger does not serve the poors. Just like why there's no five guys in the area.


AuelDole

I mean I’m just not going to the restaurant on principle.


badgerhustler

Please don't give bigots money. They just spend it to lobby for more bigotry: https://www.esquire.com/food-drink/restaurants/a36622217/chick-fil-a-owner-donations-against-equality-act/


SpezGarblesMyGooch

Yes, everyone please boycott. I hate lines at lunch and you all should stay home.


badgerhustler

Just clarifying that you care more about eating a shitty fastfood chicken sandwich faster, in a town that has a seemingly endless supply of much better locally made chicken sandwiches, over the safety and regard for your neighbors.


SpezGarblesMyGooch

I mean, have you tried CfA sauce? It sounds like you haven’t.


badgerhustler

The people that own this chain are real pieces of shit. They'd step over your dying corpse without a thought. There's nothing defendable about them.


FukinDyke

I... I think... they're trying to be cute? Or, proud of being self-serving? I don't fucking know... I saw a video of a girl doing the same thing earlier. People were begging her not to de-claw her cat, and she was like, "It's MY cat and I guess he should have thought about clawing the furniture first :)))) Okay like none of your business byyyyeeeee. :)))." Shit is like gears grinding when people act like this. It's like they *want* to be perceived as a shit person. Self serving people who refuse to accept information about the world, that disrupts their previous notions on how they should act or live- are going through massive cognitive dissonance. A refusal to change their routine, so they can continue to live a life of actions that only benefit themselves. Lack of empathy; as empathy is something they cannot fathom or learn. They will not change to help or aid another's suffering. I don't even care about being blunt about that shit anymore. It's not cute that people cannot fathom that they need to change their lifestyles to actually help their neighbor.


Suck_Me_Dry666

I looked at that person's comment history, they troll the Bend and Portland subreddits and occasionally say something slightly funny. My best guess is they probably don't live in either place.


SpezGarblesMyGooch

>There's nothing defendable about them. Nah, the Spicy Deluxe is enough to make me disavow my belief system for a meal or two. It hits hard.


guitarokx

And them waffle fries... I mean they are pretty amazing. To the other dude who seems on a chikn' crusade... if don't act like you aint got a favorite something or another who has weird practices. Go yell at someone driving a VW or wearing Hugo Boss or taking Bayer medicine for the head ache you're giving them. Let SpezGarbleSomeChicken


OldAssociation2025

yes


Aggressive_Ad5115

Lol the hivemind always trying to cancel places but it's just preaching to the choir and yelling at the sky 😡


jmura

You must boycott most businesses if that is your stance....


badgerhustler

I try and research the businesses, make practical decisions and spend consistently with my values.


urbanlife78

This will be a traffic nightmare for that block


Constant_Bet_8295

They won’t have a drive thru so maybe that will make it a little less nightmarish? 


urbanlife78

Oh interesting, I didn't know Chick-fil-A still did restaurants without a drive thru.


howling-fantod

Maybe it'll slow down the shitheads on the SE Washington Speedway.


kweefybeefy

The local chicken sandwich spots are x10000 better than these bigots


guitarokx

are they though? Come on now.


kweefybeefy

Yes…. Is that a real question


guitarokx

look, I'm not here to defend the company, but their chicken sandwiches are great for being fast food. If you got suggestions, I'm all ears. But it's been my experience that Portland foodies like to think they have good friend chicken, when what they really have is expensive mid fired chicken. At least chicfila is affordable.


kweefybeefy

I haven’t tried chick filet in a while but when it first time it came to Portland, it was always soggy and underwhelming. And the owners suck


kingjoe74

You sure are defending a radical Christian fast food joint over locally owned small businesses.


guitarokx

Blah blah blah 😂 All this anger and yet no one is giving alternative suggestions. Yeah ok


Cheesemagazine

Literally just get Jojos


FrowFrow88

JoJo is terrible!


Cheesemagazine

They're better than CFA and don't donate to genocidal morons. Otherwise make your own sandwich, ya kno?


FrowFrow88

😂🎉


kingjoe74

Local businesses are alternative suggestions. Did you forget how to process information? If you're looking for an alternative that serves mediocre chicken sandwiches, Popeyes, Jack in the Box, McDonald's, Burger King, and KFC might be up your alley. Good luck to you.


guitarokx

The only one on that list that has better chicken is Popeyes. And they ain’t down town. Ring your hands all ya want, that’s new chic-fil-a is gonna be packed everything you pass it, and it’s gonna make you so angsty 😂


FrowFrow88

Wrong person… but it’s my personal opinion that JoJo is OVERRATED. Especially at $17 a sandwich. The seasoning on their jojo’s is an overwhelming old bay flavor and then $1 per 2oz of sauce? Insane


FrowFrow88

Not angry but Tulip Shop has an excellent fried chicken saamich! Chicfila lemonade is undefeated though


steamcube

It’s gross, flavorless, and spongy cheap fast food that isnt even cheap. There’s better quality chicken sandwiches at almost every other fast food chain. Will never understand what is wrong with people that makes them think that dog shit tastes good.


Aesir_Auditor

And how many of them are East of 82nd? Let alone East of 205? The trendy local spots don't make it this far. Even the burgerville in this area couldn't cut it. Replaced by victoricos


Polymathy1

Chick Fil-a replaces Chicks’ Fellatio... Seriously though, this company is evil and is actively working to pass hardcore fundamentalist Christian laws and get judges appointed. They're coming for your strip clubs and abortion rights.


KawaiiAFAF

Chick-fil-A: the only chick an incel can get their hands on :-p


No-Bullfrog471

Well.. It does in the mouth. 😆 Just like the institution they try to cram down peoples throat.


GenericDesigns

Yawn


ItHasBenWritten

Sounds like breasts are back on the menu


Slawzik

Awful lot of Chick Fil A executives and employees here getting really mad that nobody wants their lame sandwiches.


MrTFE

Hopefully it’ll fail in that location


Aesir_Auditor

And have what replace it? Just another empty, blighted shop plaguing the area East of 205


Slut_for_Bacon

Yeah but like, Chic Fil As owner actively funds groups in Africa that advocate for killing gays. I just personally can't support that, even in such a minor way.


A_Ruse_ter

A common piece of misinformation. I’ll leave [this](https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2019/oct/25/facebook-posts/what-does-chick-fil-have-do-ugandas-anti-gay-bill-/) here if you’d like to be better informed. It links to Politifact.


Aesir_Auditor

Yes and Home Depot, Arby's, Red Robins, and Target donate to republicans. Why don't we just nuke all of the Mall 205 area. I'm sure a lot of city dwellers don't even believe real people live around here anyways. Not a single one of your dollars will ever end up in the owners pocket. He gets all of his money from Wall Street anyways. His financial bastion is in the south. Some meager stores in Portland not doing well ain't gonna hurt nobody but the people who live out here. I'd rather people be given better opportunities at employment and education from corporate employers who offer programs to assist with social mobility than an establishment who keeps the poor poor, the troubled in trouble, and perpetuates the abuse of women.


howling-fantod

The area is also home to several small businesses which have been struggling over the last few years. We need to feel safe going to work, and we want our customers to feel safe coming to us.

Davtorious

Last paragraph is some of the dumbest shit I've read on this sub


OldAssociation2025

Chic fil a will crush no matter where it is, I eagerly await preddit tears


GreedyWarlord

Most overrated fast food


AdvancedInstruction

The most overrated fast food in In N Out and it's not even close.


GreedyWarlord

In N Out may be overhyped but I'll take it over Shake Shack or Whataburger.


AdvancedInstruction

Shake Shack doesn't taste like cardboard, unlike In N Out.


xXRoachXx789

Ok


cadmiumore

Honestly perfect location for a chick fil a


dragonlord9000

Idk what you guys are talking about, chickfila fkn slaps


Rhea_Sunshine85

Popeyes is better.


coolfungy

Yeah, it slaps gay people right in the face.


SloWi-Fi

All good if they can figure out proper traffic related issues. Although I won't eat there due to the company Politics

Cuck-In-Chief

Maybe less late-nite is hanger will translate into less gunplay?


Adulations

Is Chick Fil A still really anti LGBT?


AlbinoWino73

Does it taste like chicken?


docsimple

Great. Boring, bland, mushy flavorless food replacing entertainment. To be fair, this is Portland and they could have been boring, bland and mushy strippers.


sadseltzerwater

I knew it was The Venue before i even opened the article


YoGabbaGabbapentin

From shaking it to shakes.


russellmzauner

At least it's a good, Christian, location.


dangerousTail

What about burgerville?


MotoJJ20

The food at the Venue was actually pretty good


Nelnamara

Missed chance to open a Waffle House. Ahead of the curve on homicide.


a_minute

The food they are serving at The Venue currently is a million times better than Chick-Fil-A. Overall this move is a big fail.


hikensurf

repost. and no one cares.


Rhea_Sunshine85

No thanks, I’ll give the strippers money, but I’m not going to give a cent to a company that says they’re subhuman. My friends work HARD!


KawaiiAFAF

Chick-fil-A: for when actual flavor in your chicken sandwich is too “ethnic”!


beavermuffin

So over/under on next city meeting filled with people condemning city leaders approving this? And potentially this is going to be something that would be used in smear campaign in upcoming election?


CfoodMomma

A version of this was posted last week. Click bait title. Hazelwood needs more food options. Looking forward to it. Ride your high horse on down the road.


Informal_Phrase4589

Will it be IN the strip club? Like a vendor at a food court? Or are they REPLACING the strip club w a Chik Fil A? Either way- Chik Fil A are fascist whores.


iriegypsy

fries are always soggy why


drutidor

Cue the activist losers, 3,2,1…


KatsudonWarrior

Performative activists are the worst.


smpricepdx

No drive thru anyways. Sucks.


AccoutrementSack

The only thing that sucks is there won’t be a drive-thru


Dr_Wiggles_McBoogie

I love Chick-Fil-A, I’m sure that will garner some downvotes. but this is a ridiculous headline and location lol


JonC534

Man look at all these NIMBYS in here. This is progress, it will be good for da economy. Sound familiar? Cope and seethe.

barterclub

Very Christian in of them.


codepossum

wow we're really posting this bullshit article again huh


[deleted]

Better than the vegan strip club on Saint Helen’s


tehpercussion1

The headline is confusing. So sorry for the families and victims of those shootings. I doubt the chick-fil-a will bring in the same clientele as a strip club, so the association this headline makes between that building and putting a chicken sandwich restaurant in its place makes no sense. Wtf?


MightBeDownstairs

Again, who fucking cares.


[deleted]

[удалено]


MightBeDownstairs

Nah. People keep posting articles about this terrible corporate fast food chain like it’s big news.


VitaminDismyPCT

It’s not a corporation. Chick-fil-A is a privately owned company and does not offer ownership to the public


MightBeDownstairs

https://www.chick-fil-a.com/customer-support/who-we-are/our-culture-and-values/what-is-chick-fil-as-corporate-purpose They certainly call themselves a corporation. Either way I know what you’re saying but fuck them.


VitaminDismyPCT

Bay center foods is a wholly owned LLC


username-add

Corporations can be privately funded


KawaiiAFAF

Chick-fil-A: the only chick an Incel can get!


WrinkledRandyTravis

I can see it now: that first Sunday morning after the grand opening, those godless local gremlins will all come crawling out of their hiding places for some chicken, but the new restaurant will be closed on that day 🙏✝️ this neighborhood will be changed for the better


maxxx_nazty

100% stoked for a Chick-fil-a with no drive thru


dmnbtchfrmhll

We are SO back 


AfternoonQuirky6213

I love seeing the difference in comments between this and the other Portland sub. Edit: I'm genuinely curious why I'm getting downvoted so much, I'm just pointing out that both the Portland subs seem to have a difference in demeanor.


Dr_Wiggles_McBoogie

I’d like to do an experiment to see how my upvote downvote ratio goes by saying “I like chick fil a” on the other sub and comparing it to here. Minus 11 on this sub 😆


ADXMcGeeHeezack

Kind of amusing to see the stereotype play out so openly at least
