About this location
Chick-fil-A sits in the Terminal 1 departures area covering gates 9 through 18, in the same row as Ace Cerveceria & Tacos, Be Relax and Betcha Burgers & Bar. It's the only Chick-fil-A at LAX, so unlike the Panda Express and Starbucks scattered across several terminals, this single counter serves the whole airport's demand for it. Takeaway only -- grab the order and keep moving toward the T1 gates rather than settling in to eat.
