Based on all of the customer feedback, restaurant officials now say they've chosen to continue serving the side salad at participating restaurant locations.

And speaking of Chick-fil-A's menu, brought back by popular demand after a six-year hiatus, the company is offering the following beverages this summer: Watermelon Mint Lemonade, Watermelon Mint Sunjoy, Frosted Watermelon Mint Lemonade and Watermelon Mint Iced Tea.
