Chick-Fil-A fans suffered an indescribable loss in July when the chain replaced its beloved barbecue sauce with a new recipe known as the Smokehouse BBQ Sauce.

“I just don’t know if I want to bring kids into a world that will never let them taste the original chick fil a BBQ sauce,” tweeted one disgruntled customer.

“The fact that chik fil a changed their BBQ sauce to smoked BBQ is unbearable,” added another.

Luckily, these cries for help did not go unheard. “After thoughtfully reviewing feedback from both customers and local restaurant owners, Chick-fil-A decided to bring the original BBQ Sauce back to the menu to better serve the needs and tastes of guests,” a representative tells PEOPLE. Some of the 5,000 customers who expressed their distaste will even receive a free bottle of the original sauce for their troubles.
