Hello everyone! Today, there’s some big news for fast-food lovers, especially those who can’t get enough of Chick-fil-A.
The Atlanta-based chain has just unveiled its first-ever elevated drive-thru restaurant in McDonough, Georgia, and it’s unlike anything you’ve seen before!
Now, you might be wondering, what makes this drive-thru so special? Well, let’s break it down. Imagine a massive kitchen sitting high above four drive-thru lanes—yes, you read that right, four lanes! This isn’t your typical fast-food joint. Chick-fil-A has designed this restaurant specifically to speed up service and get your favorite chicken sandwich to you faster than ever before.
Here’s how it works: the kitchen is elevated, and once your meal is ready, it travels down to you via a sophisticated conveyor belt system. It’s so fast that it can send down an order every six seconds. That means no more waiting in long lines, tapping your fingers on the steering wheel, and wondering when your food will arrive. The goal here is simple—get your food in your hands quickly and efficiently without compromising the quality or the friendly service Chick-fil-A is known for.
This new location isn’t your usual Chick-fil-A with a cozy dining room to sit in. Nope, it’s all about the drive-thru experience. Whether you’re on your way to work, heading home, or just out and about, you can grab your meal through one of their Mobile Thru lanes by ordering ahead on the Chick-fil-A app. If you’re more of a spontaneous orderer, don’t worry—they’ve got traditional lanes, too, where you can place your order on the spot.

Chick-fil-A has been cooking up this concept for over a year, and it’s all part of a broader strategy to adapt to the growing trend of on-the-go dining. With more people turning to digital methods to order their meals, this new design is all about catering to those busy folks who need to grab a bite quickly and efficiently. And it’s not just in Georgia—earlier this year, Chick-fil-A launched another test restaurant in Manhattan focused solely on delivery and mobile pickup orders.
It’s a @ChickfilA like you’ve never seen before! This morning we flew to the chain’s first elevated drive thru restaurant on Jodeco Rd off of I-75 in Henry County. @wsbradio #SkyCopter @wsbtv #CaptnCam pic.twitter.com/tNVCadhhTZ

With over 3,000 locations across the U.S. and Canada, Chick-fil-A is constantly evolving. They’ve come a long way since their first restaurant opened in Atlanta back in the 60s, but one thing remains the same: their commitment to great food and even better service. So, next time you’re in McDonough, why not swing by and experience the future of fast food for yourself?
