The Chicken Fast Food Chain Customers Say Has Unexpectedly Tasty Brownies

The world of fast food chicken has never been stronger. Whether it's old standbys, such as KFC, Chick-fil-A, and Popeyes, to relative newcomers, including Raising Cane's, Slim Chickens, and Dave's Hot Chicken, Americans have plenty of choices when it comes to fried chicken. But, while these chains are obviously known for their chicken, some fast food chains crank out pretty good desserts, too. For example, based on customer reviews, you shouldn't sleep on Chick-fil-A's brownies. 

While a brownie might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you visit Chick-fil-A, it's quite the tasty way to end your meal. An Instagram food reviewer summed them up pretty well: "I was genuinely impressed by this fast food dessert. The brownie I had was soft, chewy, fudgy, and had a fair amount of chocolate chunks embedded within. It was nearly perfect. I think this is the best fast food brownie I've ever had (easily better than Panera and Starbucks)." One TikTok food reviewer called the brownies "one of the best things about Chick-fil-A," saying the dessert was both moist and fudgy. Another TikToker tried all of Chick-fil-A's desserts and loved the brownies, saying they were among the best she's had and added "give me 20 of those brownies please."

With most fast food chains — except those that specialize in desserts, such as Sonic or Dairy Queen — desserts are pretty much an afterthought. But that's not the case with Chick-fil-A. The brownies might not hit as hard as the delicious fried chicken, but they are easily worth splurging on to satisfy your sweet tooth. In fact, for just $2.39 (depending on location), a brownie is one of the least expensive dessert items on the menu. Only the Icedream Cup ($1.69), Icedream Cone ($1.99), and Chocolate Chunk Cookie ($1.89) come in cheaper. All of Chick-fil-A's shakes, floats, and frosted drinks cost around $5.

One of Chick-fil-A's best hacks even involves these delicious brownies and its famous Icedream. Purchase two brownies alongside a cup of the vanilla Icedream, then spoon the Icedream between the two fudgy brownies. The result is a makeshift brownie ice cream sandwich. In all, this is a $6-$7 purchase with all these dessert elements, but if you're willing to spend a little more money on decadence, it's a great way to end your Chick-fil-A meal.
