It gets busy during their prime time with is lunch. It was my first time getting food there. I tried the Fancy Nancy with the grape salad and broccoli salad. It was good but I don't know if it's "going out to get food" type of restaurant. Unless you have a particular soft spot for chicken salad they offer, you can get something similar at a grocery store or just make it at home? Everything is covered in mayo or sugar, so it's not exactly healthy. I guess I just don't get it. read more

I always love a CSC and this location is no exception. Service was polite and friendly. I bought pre-packed chicken salads and they were excellent. Note: This location gets really packed and parking can be tricky around lunchtime. read more

Only or second visit and the food was tasty again. No issue parking plenty of parking in front and around the sides of the strip center they are located. This place was full, and stayed full with people coming and going throughout our visit. You order at the cash register and they bring your meal to your table. We ordered the Olivia's Old South chicken salad scoop, and she had Tomato soup and I had the pasta salad. Our food came out quickly even though they were busy. All our food was fresh and had a very good taste for a reasonable lunch price. Each lunch came with a butter bream cookie for dessert that was very tasty. read more

Every Friday I look forward to go here to get my delicious sandwich and sides. Customer service is superb and they treat me so well. My order is always correct and they're so helpful and patient. read more

I still maintain that a bowl of soup here is a bit small. My idea of a bowl is obviously different from theirs. I did the chicken poblano soup and it was good. Nice little kick to it and was hot enough but don't feel a bowl is big enough to warrant the over $5.00 price. A weird thing that this place does is that they ask if you want your sandwich toasted which I did and have in the past. It looks toasted but is not hot and crunchy. It's like it's toasted before hand and is then used later which doesn't make sense because the bread was soft and not dried out and hard if that was the case. The taste was good again but there's no way they're toasted on the spot. I don't understand that. The overall experience is passable but those two things are just weird to me. read more

Been wanting to try this place but it was always packed! Now I see why. It's delicious! I ordered the Classic Carol chicken salad and a broccoli salad as my side. Very fresh, light, crisp. Perfection all around. My husband got the pimento cheese sandwich with jalapenos. Definitely made it spicy and serving size was huge. read more

Very solid restaurant. The food is definitely above average, but it doesn't blow your mind. For me anyway. Other than an obvious previous leak on the ceiling, it's very clean. The customer service is solid. Just your everyday solid spot. read more

Was hungry for a quick sandwich while in the area. Having had been to the Alpharetta location, i knew this would be a good choice! This is a new location, very clean, great staff. Had a half sandwich and soup to go. I forgot to take a photo of the food!! doh! Lol. It was the original chicken salad on a croissant with loaded baked potato soup (minus the bacon). ;) They offer lots of chicken salad options to go as well - just select one from the display case. Easy to pick up for take out. For those of you that have never tried it, they offer many different choices of chicken salad - some with onions, grapes, spicy options, etc. take the time to review the menu, theres a chicken salad option for everybody! read more

Excellent chicken salad. So many varieties, I have enjoyed all that I have tried. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Restaurant has always been clean. The only negative is the change in their croissant. Originally their croissant was great but a few months ago they changed it. It is no longer really a croissant. Please bring back the original croissant! read more

This is probably one of my favorite places. I always enjoy Chicken Salad Chik. Love the Fancy Nancy with grape salad. Highly recommend trying all the different flavors of chicken salad. Also must try the potato soup!! one of my faves! read more

Chicken Salad Chick - Fancy Nancy with grape salad and pasta salad - Southern Near Me - Buford, Georgia

First experience was very good! Great tasting food accented by a competent staff. Will definitely return soon.

Recently tried the Mac and cheese- although it tasted like canned chef Boyardee, it was oddly comforting! In the age of Chick-fil-A mac & cheese, not sure how you can release less than stellar Mac and cheese, but I'm sure this might be a hit among kiddos or like I said, adults wanting a bit of childhood nostalgia. read more

Food is good but a person could feed 40 people for the price of a chicken salad sandwich and a drink I mean I spent $12 for a sandwich and drink feeding four people here would be frustrating read more

Usually eat at CSC in Gainesville, but we were by MOG and thought we would run in this one today. It's a bit smaller than the other one I am used to. I got my usual order, and I was really dismayed in the difference from store to store. The broccoli salad had no dressing on it, the bacon on my sandwich was not cooked and was soggy, the pickle was soggy. At least the chicken salad was good. My mother who was with me had never been to a CSC, got 2 different Chicken salads and the broccoli salad. She was not thrilled with the dry broccoli salad either. She did really enjoy her 2 chicken salad choices. I think consistency between stores is lacking. read more

So excited for the opening here in Buford!! I have enjoyed the food here several time already! The grape salad and the pasta salad are definitely my favorite sides! Restaurant is clean and staff very friendly. Can't wait to return. read more

Great place - really cute inside and a wide variety of flavors - who even knew there were that many. We had the Fancy Nancy on whole wheat and the Fruity Fran on croissant Side of Mac n cheese which my hubby loved and I had my fave grape salad .... it's like the southern church ladies make at a dinner on the grounds LOL ! OMG soooo good! I liked the key lime cookies they used to have better than the butter ones they have now but that's ok They do have a take n go area with small or larger containers of chick salad and pimento cheese and salads but sandwiches they make after you order but it doesn't take long. Some have drive up windows like near my home in Gainesville but this one at Mall of GA Crossing does not . You have to try it if you've never been. read more

Y'all, I am addicted to this place. I'm originally from the South and moved to California in 2006. I recently moved back to the South and this time Georgia (I was formerly in Tennessee and Alabama). What a fantastic idea this restaurant is! The recipes are light, the food is yummy and consistent among the four different locations I have tried around Atlanta. I've also had a friend use CSC to cater a welcome back luncheon and what a treat it was. I like the original or Fruity Fran chicken salad and the broccoli salad and soups! read more

I usually really like my order. Today was not a good experience. The bread for my sandwich was stale and the chicken salad didn't seem to be a full scoop. I ordered the BLT but the bacon was just thrown in. I ordered this through door dash. Does that mean they rush to get the order out? Disappointed today read more

I have loved their sandwiches and food; great, friendly service. Lately I have traded out my cookie for an extra pickle spear. Today, I tried to do the same as I have for months, but they charged me for a pickle. I reminded the employee, who was being trained by a manager, I didn't want an extra pickle but to swap that out with the cookie. The manager spoke up and said, "Yes, we know, but it doesn't work that way. We have to charge for the pickle." I said, "ok but that doesn't make sense, I have been doing that for months." Managent stated that the cookie cost more than the pickle , over $1.00. " So , I said , "that, even more, does not make sense. Because the store is making more money by me not getting the cookie, and on top of that , you are charging me for the pickle. " I'm not saying I will not come back because I enjoy the food. However, today, chicken salad chick, you left a bad impression on my mind. read more

The chicken salad is good, the egg salad is disgusting, but I still recommend it if you didn't feel like making your own chicken salad.

The spicy pimento BLT was not my favorite and the croissant wasn't the freshest. On the other hand the potato soup and classic Carole chicken salad was amazing. Nice friendly staff. Will go back for sure. read more

We love the food here- but had to get it to go today. The smell in there was so unpleasant. Smells like dirty carpet and reminds me of a nursing home smell. Just letting someone know- it definitely turned me off today! read more

I am a big chicken salad fan so when I kept seeing these pop up all over Gwinnett, I had to try it. I've been a few times now and the food is good everytime. I usually get the Classic Carol or Fancy Nancy. My biggest gripe with this place is they are slow to get orders out. I've waited 20 minutes for a single sandwich, seems they could move faster. Sometimes the food piles up and there is no one to bag it. Once that is tightened up, they'll do much better. For now I just call ahead my order. read more

Ordered a quick meal and everyone was served before me. I'm a black male. Figures, why did I ever think I would be treated fairly here?

Good food. Really poor, slow service. How can it take 30 minutes to scoop chicken salad?

they finally opened up a location near me & went the 2nd day of their opening, staff was very friendly! read more

This was food was SPECTACULAR! Every type of chicken salad I tried was fabulous as was the egg salad and pimento cheese. The potato soup was perfect and just as pictured. The grape salad was a delightful side dish. Cannot wait to go back!! read more

Really expensive small portions that really didn't taste good. I could make better chicken salad and egg salad. Their potato soup was very tasty. But small portion for the price. And the chicken salads just made everything else not worth it. You'd think they'd have the best chicken salad given their name and being the majority of what they provide. We tried 3 different ones. Not good. Will not be ordering here again. read more

Slowest and rude staff. Food mediocre at best. Don't go to this place. Food is the worst. Service bad.

Nice place to stop for a light and refreshing lunch. I got the broccoli salad and was by far the best I've had! No heavy mayonnaise on it. The chicken salad was also very good. read more

Great food. But watch your iPhone. My phone was lifted by someone today while I was on site -- either an employee or a customer.

We really enjoyed our lunch here. The sandwiches were great and the side options are different than other places, so its a nice change. We enjoyed all the ones we tried. The employees were all friendly and the prices are reasonable. My only complaint is the place is always packed elbow to elbow, so no good place to wait on your order. The traffic flow could be better. Not a deterrent at all. But its that full because its really good. There is a pick up option, so we will use that for sure. If you havent been, you should give it a try. read more
