Trying to avoid backing up traffic, there is one entrance on Johnston and one on Ridge, but the drive-thru wraps around the far side of the restaurant. Drivers should note the drive-thru actually exits on Johnston and may appear to be an entrance, but there are DO NOT ENTER signs hoping to avoid any confusion.

This will be the 5th Chick-Fil-A in the Acadiana area.  One is actually around the corner on Ambassador Caffery, and another one on Kaliste Saloom.  There is a Chick-Fil-A on the University of Louisiana campus with the 5th one on Louisiana Avenue, just off I-10.
