Truett’s Luau- A Hawaiian-Themed Chick-fil-A You Must Visit!
A Chick-fil-A with all the feels of Hawaii!! What’s not to like, right? 🌺 🥥 🍍
Truett’s Luau is a Hawaiian-themed Chick-fil-A located in Fayetteville, Georgia. For Chick-fil-A fans visiting Atlanta or passing through Atlanta, it makes for a super fun stop!
And that is exactly what my Chick-fil-A-loving family of 5 recently did! On a road trip back home from a vacation in the mountains of North Carolina, we stopped here to check out the one and only Hawaiian-themed Chick-fil-A!
It’s my pleasure to share with you our experience here at Truett’s Luau!

Truett’s Luau Atmosphere
Truett’s Luau has no obvious signage or wordage indicating it’s a Chick-fil-A from the outside. If you didn’t know any better, you would have no idea this place is a Chick-fil-A.
In front of the restaurant is a huge waterfall setting the stage for what awaits you inside this Hawaiian-themed Chick-fil-A.
Upon walking into Truett’s Luau you will feel like you have been transported to a far-away island.
Not only because of the amazing decor but because of the smell. And it’s not the smell of food I’m talking about here, but the strong smell of coconuts they have pumping throughout the restaurant. It is no doubt they really want to make you feel like you have stepped foot in Hawaii here!
In the entryway you’ll see many island-themed decorations including plants, tiki columns, and ukeleles. There’s also a brightly colored cycle rickshaw you can sit in that would make for a great photo opp.
One thing I thought was kind of strange though was an alligator statue on one of the shelves. There are definitely no alligators in Hawaii!
Placed near the entryway is a xylophone and lots of ukuleles which they encourage you to play!

Full-Service Sit-Down Dining Atmosphere
To the right of the entrance is the full-service dining area. This area definitely gives me Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort vibes. If you’ve ever been to the Polynesian Village Resort at Walt Disney World, you will know exactly what I’m talking about here. And I absolutely love the vibe of this Disney resort, so needless to say I love the atmosphere here!
Counter-Service Dining Atmosphere
To the left of the entrance is where you will go for the classic Chick-fil-a counter service restaurant. The walls here are decorated with surfboards and other island decor.
Outside Dining Area Atmosphere
The outside dining area has a waterfall and lots of seating. There’s no playground at Truett’s Luau but it is still a great place to relax and let the kids explore.

Did I make you hungry? The menu looks pretty amazing, right? 😋 Or is it? Keep reading to find out exactly what my family and I thought about the food here at Truett’s Luau.
Our Experience at Truett’s Luau
So, let me first give you a little background on my family of 5. We love Chick-fil-A and frequently go through our local drive-thru at least a few times a week.
It’s one of the few foods my teenage daughter will eat, so we have to squeeze it in whenever we can! 🤣
So, in traveling to Asheville, North Carolina from the Mobile, Alabama area I thought it would be fun to check out not only this Hawaiian-themed Chick-fil-A, but The Hapeville Dwarf House (the original Chick-fil-A). We stopped at The Hapeville Dwarf House on the way to Asheville and Truett’s Luau on the way home from Asheville.
Our Full-Service Sit-Down Experience at Truett’s Luau
When arriving at Truett’s Luau we checked in with the host and were told it would be a 20-minute wait for a table. However, the restaurant was basically empty, so I guess they didn’t have enough wait staff working that day.
We were ok waiting though because we wanted the full experience; that’s why we were there after all.
After sitting down, we ordered our drinks and appetizers. My youngest son ordered the Frosted Hawaiian. I tried a few sips of it and oh my, it was so delicious! Plus, it came in a super cute tiki cup.
For appetizers, we ordered the Big Kahuna Fries and Tropical Nuggets. It took our appetizers quite some time to come out, but they were also super delicious, especially the tropical nuggets!
We ordered our main entrees and they took quite some time to come out also.
For our meals, my husband, youngest son, and I all ordered the grilled mahi-mahi tacos. I ordered the luau cole slaw to go with it and of course, my husband ordered the sweet potato waffle fries. He never passes up a chance to order sweet potato waffle fries.
As far as the grilled mahi-mahi tacos; they were just ok.
My oldest son ordered the pork sandwich, which he enjoyed and my picky teenage daughter ordered her typical Chick-fil-A nuggets and waffle fries.
Our Counter-Service Experience at Truett’s Luau
We wanted to try dessert, but it was taking so long that we decided to place a mobile order to pick up at the counter-service part of the restaurant. Well, guess what, that took forever too!
We ordered the macadamia nut cookie and Pineapple Macadamia Nut Milkshake and they were both delicious!
And you can’t leave Truett’s Luaua without buying a souvenir. At least when you have kids right? My youngest son who is 10 just had to have a Truett’s Luau t-shirt.
Would I Visit This Hawaiian-Themed Chick-fil-A Again?
Even though the service wasn’t the greatest and we had to wait a long time to sit down and get our food, I would definitely visit Truett’s Luau again! The unique and fun theming of the restaurant plus the delicious food definitely made up for the slow service.
Who knows, it could have just been an off day. But even so, I would definitely go back and I highly recommend to all of you Chick-fil-A fans to visit Truett’s Luau.
