Who doesn't love a good chicken salad? I must say, I don't go as often as I should, but if they had the dill chicken salad as a permanent menu item, I'd be there every week! The service is what you'd expect and the restaurant is clean and tidy. Always a great experience:) read more

The service was pretty fast. Servers were friendly. The ambiance is quaint and casual. However, It's a bit over priced for small portions. The sandwiches were also a bit and lacked taste/seasoning. I'm usually pretty picky when it comes to any type of chicken salad. Maybe I'll come back in the future read more

Our first time here, we went on the recommendation of a friend. So glad we went. It is a nice place, very clean and nicely decorated. But the food was so good. I love soup and this was hot and really good. The chicken salad with cranberries and almonds was delicious. I can't wait to try some of the other flavors. And the staff were so helpful knowing it was our first time there. read more

drawn to its charming Southern vibe and tasty food. The place feels like a cozy slice of home--walls decked with cheerful decor, colorful photos of old Florida, and tables dressed in bright linens that scream hospitality. The aroma of fresh chicken salad and warm sides hits you as soon as you walk in, and it's a spot where locals gather to chat over hearty plates. But while the food quality is undeniably good, my recent visits have left me frustrated, and I'm giving it two stars. The flavors are on point, but the prices are so steep for what you get that it's tough to justify making it a regular stop. The food itself is a highlight, no question. The Classic Carol chicken salad is a solid go-to--shredded chicken mixed with finely minced celery, mayo, and a secret seasoning that gives it a comforting, familiar kick. It's creamy, with just enough crunch, and pairs perfectly with their buttery croissants. The Fancy Nancy, loaded with Fuji apples, grapes, and pecans, brings a sweet, nutty balance that feels like a treat without being heavy. The Sassy Scotty, with its ranch, bacon, and cheddar cheese, is a bold, savory option that's almost like a dip in salad form--great for a quick scoop with crackers. Even their sides, like the creamy broccoli salad or grape salad with a sweet glaze, are fresh and well-made. The iced tea, sweetened just right, is a nod to Southern tradition, and the staff keep it flowing with quick refills. Everything's clearly made with care, using fresh ingredients that shine through in every bite. But here's where the wind goes out of my sails: the cost. A scoop of chicken salad with a side and a drink easily runs you $12-$15, and that's for a portion that feels more like a light lunch than a full meal. A sandwich combo pushes closer to $18, which stings when you realize it's just chicken salad on bread, no matter how tasty. Even the kids' meals, which my little ones love for the mini croissants, are priced like adult portions elsewhere--$7 for a small scoop and a side is tough to swallow. For a family of four, you're looking at $50 or more for a quick lunch, and that's without splurging on extras like their seasonal desserts. Compared to other local spots where you can get a heartier plate for less, it feels like you're paying for the charm as much as the food. I get that fresh ingredients aren't cheap, but the value just doesn't match the quality here. The service is friendly, with staff who greet you like neighbors and keep the place spotless, even during the lunch rush. The family-owned vibe shines through, and you can tell they're proud of their recipes. But the crowds on weekends mean waits can stretch, and while the line moves fast, it doesn't ease the sting of dropping so much coin for what's essentially a glorified sandwich. The cozy setup--think Southern tea room with a modern twist--is inviting, but it can't fully make up for the hit to your wallet. I've loved this place for years, coming back for the flavors that remind me of home-cooked meals. It's been a spot for quick lunches with friends or grabbing a pint of chicken salad to go. But lately, I leave feeling like I've paid a premium for something that, while delicious, doesn't fill me up or justify the cost. Chicken Salad Chick gets two stars for its great food and warm atmosphere, but until the prices come down to match the portions, I'll be thinking twice before making it my regular haunt. For Valrico folks looking for a treat, it's worth a visit--just don't expect it to be a budget-friendly stop. read more

I got sick the first time I ate here. Gave it a second try about a year later and got the worst food poisoning of my life. Will never eat here or any chicken salad chicks again and would not recommend to anyone. Not a coincidence it happened twice. read more

What a great little spot for lunch with the wife or girlfriend. Chicken salad always tastes fresh and the servers are always nice

It's a unique take on a basic food staple that's been around for years. They make an abundant variety of chicken salad served multiple ways. The staff is friendly and your order even when the place is packed comes out fairly fast. The place is lively and some what noisy at times but not unbearable. Good array of drink choices as well with fill-refill your own. Wish they would offer more bread choices for the sandwiches like multi grain or rye as they only offer now croissants, white and wheat. read more

This establishment is truly exceptional. Their chicken salad is particularly delectable, and the freshly baked cakes are equally impressive. The interior decor is bright, cheerful, and tastefully decorated for the holiday season. We will definitely be returning read more

Sorry, no photos bc I immediately inhale the sandwiches whenever I pick one up in my way home from work. I've had the lemon basil, Barbie-q, and jalapeño chicken salad sandwiches. Imo, you really can't go wrong but the jalapeño was my fave. It comes with a pickle and a lemon cookie plus a side. I've been sticking with fruit which is mostly grapes, a strawberry, and a few blueberries. So glad when I remember there is fast food that doesn't make me feel like garbage after I eat it! read more

Love this place for lunch. Always super clean, friendly service, and the chicken salad is soooo good! Favorite side is the grape salad - unique and delicious. read more

The food was tasty for lunch. The kids love the croissants and they can pick different kinds of chicken salad. I liked how you can just get lettuce and then put the chicken salad on top without the bread. Kids love the mac & cheese and the soup. read more

This place is definitely worth trying it's simply different from the normal. Meaning no burgers and a step above the regular chicken salad you make at home or other places. They offer such a fun variety of choices it's really hard to choose what you want, but it sure will satisfy just about anyone that walks in or choose drive thur I love that you can choose from inside to outside dining. read more

FINALLY made it to Chicken Salad Chick even though it was in the drive thru Wanted to pick up a couple small a la carte chicken salads just to give them a try and to have for lunch the next couple of days. The woman who took my order was very nice, patient and explained things to me because I had a hard time deciding. Once at the window to pay she told me if I had came in they would have given me free samples....wish she would have told me T the speaker because I would have went on in but will make sure to do that next time. I decided on the following 2 flavors: 1. Sassy Scotty: A zesty blend of ranch, bacon & shredded cheddar cheese. This one is very good and smoky because of the bacon and hey I LOVE me some bacon!! 2. Kickin' Kay Lynne: This flavor powerhouse is a combination of buffalo sauce, ranch, bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, jalapenos & just a touch of Sriracha all in one. This one was my favorite of the 2....still had the bacon but not as smokey. I loved the kick of mild heat, just gave it that extra something. Will be back and next time will go inside to try samples; if I had sampled this time I would have came home with 1 LARGE Kickin' Kay Lynne and skipped the Sassy Scotty even though it was delicious. In my opinion it was over priced, for 2 small containers I paid a little over $15 which is just crazy but maybe if I review the menu better I can find a way to purchase at a better value next time. read more

I've been here now 4 days in a row in a week both in drive through and eat in. I'm not a chicken salad person but this is the only place I will eat it. Lots of chicken not a lot of mayo it's perfect. There are so many flavors that there is definitely something for everyone. Don't miss out on the fancy Nancy it's amazing fruity but savory just the perfect balance read more

Very cute and cozy spot for a light lunch. There are a few choices even if chicken salad isn't your thing. The soups are basic, like Panera Bread or Potbellies, it comes frozen but I still love it. Sides are great. The staff is always friendly and service is quick! Chicken Salad Quick! read more

Addicted is not even the word for how i felt after i tried CSC! I was never really a chicken salad type of person but Chicken Salad Chick definitely changed my mind! I first heard of them years ago when they did a mini tasting menu at my office in Tampa. I'm so glad they have a Brandon location because it's my lunch go-to since I've been working from home. I always stick with The Chick which is their sandwich option with lettuce & tomato. A lot of small sides to chose from but i always go with the grape salad side, it is divine! read more

Drive through is slow, but the chicken salad is always tasteful. I frequent this spot when I don't want to feel too guilty about my meal. Great selection on different flavors of chicken salad, but the cranberry Kelli on a toasted croissant will remain my go to. read more

This was my first visit at this location and I was very pleased. I took my best friend for her first time of having Chicken Salad Chick and she was very pleased as well. This location was recently built and opened. This location offers a drive through window. I was skeptical about the drive through as I assumed that it would take a long time to receive our order, but that is the complete opposite of what happened! They immediately took our order and once I pulled around and paid the food was ready! Very impressive in my opinion. I ordered "The Chick" which included a sandwich, one side, a pickle and a cookie. All for under $8! I chose the Fancy Nancy salad on a the wheatberry bread (not toasted) and chose the grape salad for my side. The food was amazing and super fresh! The only negative I have is that the traffics getting in and out of this shopping center was terrible, but don't let that stop you! read more

I wanted to love this place. I've been wanting to try this place out, since 2020 summer. My husband and I swung by today. I had the Chicken Salad BLT on Croissant with NO tomato. With their Classic Carol. And a side scoop of Lauryn's Lemon Basil. Their " Plus one of " - I got the Loaded potato soup. Of course it came with cheese ... off to the husband it went not a fan of cheese... My order came. It came with Tomato. And no side scoop of Lauryn's Lemon Basil. My husband had the Turkey Club, with NO tomato. His " plus one of " Loaded potato soup. His order came out correct. Again, I wanted to love this place but I couldn't find it in me too. My order was wrong. We repeated, 3xs, no tomatoes for both orders and the young lady confirmed. She also confirmed the Lauryn's Lemon Basil, was added on, which wasn't. I assumed, maybe it was added into my "BLT", had my husband try it, assuming my taste buds were wired with my drinks and it wasn't. All in all, our hype for this place were pretty much shot down. read more

What's not to love about chicken salad chick?! Plus, this location has a Drive thru!! There was no one else in line. I was in and out of there. I have never tried any of the sweet chicken salad, I am more a savory type of girl. I don't even have a favorite because they are all so good! The little cookies that come with meals are a perfect touch. The grape salad is fantastic! read more

Chicken Salad Chick - Drive thru - Southern Near Me - Brandon, Florida

I want to love this place... but they are just so inconsistent. I don't dine in - I typically order for pickup or through UberEats, and my order is just never right. Last time I ordered the Lemon Basil salad, I ended up receiving the spicy one with jalapenos instead. I was also missing a side. This time, I paid $9 through UberEats for a gallon of their "natural lemonade" to find that they had given me the sugar free disgusting powdered MinuteMaid... for $9! Such a rip off. This location just misses the mark. I know if I call they'll just add me to some "book" for a re-do next time... which I will never do, so that's just a waste of time. I don't think there will be a next time. read more

First time trying Chicken Salad Chick. I never knew there were so many creative ways to make chicken salad. I had the Fancy Nancy which was delicious. My friend also enjoyed her chicken salad melt on a croissant with tortilla soup. Prices are reasonable and service was great. read more

Yay, it's finally here. I visited on grand opening day at around 4:30 pm. I was actually quite surprised that it wasn't as busy as I thought it would be. There was no line. I saw plenty of cars and people eating at the tables. The whole ordering process seemed very organized. It was my first time at Chicken Salad Chick so I didn't really know what to expect. They handed me a menu and explained the combinations. I ordered a Classic Carol chicken salad sandwich on a croissant for my mother with lettuce and tomato. You get a side, soup, or scoop with a sandwich order. I got her the fresh fruit. I didn't know what I wanted. They offered to give me samples, but I decided to just get a trio of 3 different scoops. I chose Classic Carol, Pimento Cheese, and Buffalo Barclay. I wanted a little bit of everything. They have a padded bench area where you can sit and wait for your take-out order. It was all very comfortable and cozy. There was a Christmas tree off to my left and framed magazine articles on the wall such as one from Paul Deen Magazine. Apparently Chicken Salad Chick is one of her favorite picks. Nice! I received my order in a good amount of time and delivered it to my mother. She practically ate all of it, and every bit of her fruit. I was surprised. I guess she really likes chicken salad. I wasn't expecting the mini cookie inside of our box. That was a nice treat. I also didn't realize that these are generous scoops of salad. I don't know what I was thinking when I ordered it. I obviously couldn't eat it all. After a while, it all became too rich for me to eat. I'll know better next time. What I did have was very tasty. The pimento cheese had chunks of pimento, but I think I want to try the spicy pimento next time to get a little more of that flavor. The Buffalo Barclay is chicken salad with wing sauce. It wasn't spicy at all, but still good. The Classic Carol is their traditional chicken salad recipe. Everything is finely chopped so you don't really get many textures. I like my chicken salad to have texture but the taste was all there. Next time, I'll get a sandwich because I felt like the scoops are too rich by themselves. That's just me. I am so looking forward to trying other menu items. They have soups, various green salads, fruit, and mac & cheese. The prices all seem reasonable. The meals I ordered were under $10. I'm happy anytime I can get a meal under $10. They have many gluten free and vegetarian options. The menu clearly marks all of them. I'll dine in the next time I'm at Bloomingdale Square. Update on 12/13/19: My favorite so far is the Fruity Fran chicken salad. It has large chunks of apple, pineapple, and grapes. The tomato bisque was also very good. read more

Really like this place! It took me a few months to go out for a visit and I just so happened to show up on customer appreciation day! This location also has a drive thru which I will definitely use next time. I ordered a scoop of the chicken salad with onion and my husband ordered a scoop of the chicken salad with jalapeno. Yes, they all have cute names but I'm horrible at remembering names. We also received a free scoop of their traditional/original chicken salad due to customer appreciation day. They had an issue with their ticketing system, so I ended up waiting for a while. I received a coupon for a future visit and the staff could not have been nicer. The prices here are great and the little sugar cookie they included was a nice touch. read more
