Popeyes and KFC were close contenders, and other restaurants including McDonald’s, Zaxby’s, Dairy Queen and Burger King also made it to the semifinals.

Many were happy about Chick fil A’s victory, celebrating the Georgia-based chain for its yummy recipe.

But not everyone was thrilled with the final results. Several flocked to Twitter to tout their winning choices. And it got quite heated.

1. How is Bo's only a 3 seed?

2. Who orders tenders at CFA?

3. How did KFC make the Elite Eight?

4. How didn't Zaxby's make the Final Four? pic.twitter.com/R0xP92qbRT — Jonathan (@jnthnwll) March 15, 2017

@kingmik23 honestly it should be between Bojangles and Popeyes — Joseph Cameron (@joseph_cameron6) March 16, 2017

Then there were a few folks who kept an eye on the debate just for giggles.
