In english we say something slaps when we mean something is excellent; we really like it. For example
Chick-fil-a slaps = I think Chick-fil-a is really good
Chick-fil-a slaps = I think Chick-fil-a is really good
slap - Chik-fil-a slaps

Artifacs' suggestion is good for Spain. It would be understood in Latin America, but probably not used.
"Slap" is just a modern version of "rock" and other slang terms to say that something is cool or sweet or tight. These words change each generation. For that reason, I would use one of the suggestions in the WR dictionary entry for rock.
So in your example, I would say Chick-fil-a está chido since I speak Mexican Spanish. But I think Chick-fil-a está buenísimo would be understood and possibly used anywhere in Latin America.

En Argentina, aunque creo que no figura en el Diccionario de WR: Chick-a fil la rompe.
This option would also work in Spain. Athough I think the use of "lo rompe", instead of "la rompe" is more common over here.
