Walked by tonight around 5...not too crowded. Should take down that "Store" sign.
I like Chicken Guy. But the interior looks like a McDonalds.

If I remember correctly, McDonalds picked those colors so people were less likely to stay and relax at the tables after eating... better turnover. The reds and yellows aren't relaxing.

This was my experience too. The chicken was fine but not anything special; I've had better elsewhere. There are much better QS options at Disney Springs.
I think people like it for the large sauce selection more than anything else.

It's not amazing, but I don't think there's anything that matches it for quality and price

Polite Pig and Pizza Ponte are both more expensive, but the quality is also much higher to where I'd call them both better values. I actually thought D-luxe Burger was better than Chicken Guy as well. Not that Chicken Guy is bad -- I'd just choose to go for any of those three before I went to Chicken Guy. Chicken Guy has to be a great option for kids, though, especially since it's pretty cheap.
Polite Pig is probably the best QS on Disney property, although it's priced accordingly.

if you can get food that’s actually hot. It’s delicious but 3 out of 5 times I’ve eaten there I’ve been served cold food.

That's unfortunate. Every time I've been the food was hot but the last time I was there was almost 3 years ago.

I don't think of polite pig as quick service. It often takes forever and delivers to tables. It's also twice the price of chicken Guy. I've had the same issue with delux. Hideous wait times and 40 bucks for two burgers and some fries.
I guess I'd add Earl of sandwich to the list too. Under $10 and fairly quick

Still unhappy that the announced location at Mall of America never opened. Also unhappy when I heard they cut down the number of sauces available at this DS location. I may see if we can eat there later this year when we're in the area.
Hopefully it will be done in less than a decade.

I'm pretty sure with the pandemic and a lack of interested franchisees (plus Earl Enterprises surely taking a loss from the failure of ghost kitchens and revenue problems at several of their other physical restaurant concepts), we're not going to see a huge expansion in this chain like was planned. They've had less sauces at the DS location then they used to for a while now, swear it's been since at least the pandemic.
