The new Chick-Fil-A in Crystal City will open its doors on Thursday, Nov. 18, a PR rep for the Georgia-based company told ARLnow.com this afternoon.
The eagerly-anticipated restaurant will be located between the Corner Bakery Cafe and the Neramitra Thai restaurant on the 2200 block of Crystal Drive.
A groundbreaking ceremony featuring a company executive and the famous Chick-Fil-A cow was held in July.
The 3,683 square-foot restaurant will seat up to 81 people. It’s owned by a franchisee and mother of four, Natalie Yang, who is moving from Georgia to run the restaurant.

Thank you. The answer to this question would make my life complete.

How about a “Quaker Steak and Lube”? It’s a place I can take my significant other car without her feeling like a second class citizen.

I often crave unhealthy food made by fundamentalist Prop-8-supporting, gay-hating Christian fast food joints and Domino’s just isn’t cutting it anymore.
+100 Fabulous Gay Marriages.
Interesting how they apparently support the right of cows to earn a decent living, but when it comes to the gay marriaging, it’s a whole other story!
whatever – this gay man will happily be willing to eat your portion and then some. chick-fil-a is awesome!!
I am often warned by gay friends how incredibly hypocritical some of their fellow gays are. So enjoy patronizing a company who tries to keep you from having your civil rights while us progressive straight folks try to make sure you have them at all. You’re very f**king welcome.
i didn’t ask for your help… and i don’t think you know what “hypocritical” means.
I’m very well educated, thanks. Maybe when the secret police are knocking at your odoor (God forbid), you’ll wish you actually gave a crap. Enjoy your f**king sandwich.
i’m not trying to offend you… but people are more influenced by knowing a gay person than a so-called boycott. it’s silly to pick a sandwich based on political viewpoints. plus – there are a lot of conservative gay people out there. we can’t be lumped all together in politics.
There are gay conservatives, sure, but they tend not to vote against their civil liberties. Your point is, well, pointless.
Blah, blah, blah.
It must be torture to live life as a one dimensional character.
domino’s doesn’t sell waffle fries.
no, but they sell an awesome lava cake
Woot! Time to camp out!
A huge set-back for Crystal City’s redevelopment away from anodyne mall-dome. I can see the tour buses dropping off school and tour groups.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzz, more fast food.
I wish they’d add just one more pickle to the chicken sandwich. That would make it extra delicious.
I’ll second that, you can never have too much pickle. Maybe they’d slip you a pickle if you asked.
Ew! No pickles! Unless you’re gay. Then it’s ok.
Just kidding. I love how these comments always transform into shouting matches.
When you come to Chick-fil-a at Crystal City…Just ask for extra pickles…it’s free
It’ll be a nice addition and option in CC.
Oh Chipotle, how I love you sooooo….but now I’ll have to walk across the street and get my chicken on with Natalie!! MMMMM. Chick-Fil-A is amazing!! I, along with many others, will support an openly Christian-loving company who follows the words of the Bible anytime! Welcome to Arlington, Natalie! May God Bless You in this new adventure! You will see me often
Yeah, very excited that Chick-fil-a is coming!
You will totally have my support!!
