It's Chick-fil-a need I say more? It's a great location near the CNU campus as well as being quite central in Newport News.

Incredibly friendly atmosphere, all of the workers are very pleasant, and it's very speedy, even if there's a little bit of a crowd. I think the only thing that could make it better is more food items, but because it's kind of an extension chick-fil-a with not a whole lot of space, I get how that may be impossible
