So we decided to stop for lunch again since we were on that side of town. I do love the grape salad and the potato soup is very good but I just feel that the cranberry kelli chicken salad was missing something. A flavor component that would just take it over the top. Overall it's a great place to eat and food is good! read more

So this little cafe style restaurant is on point. Greeted with a smile In this chic cafe. Chicken Salad for everyone. I have tried a couple different styles and it is all so good. Really enjoy the broccoli salad & Mac & cheese is very good. Everything is made from scratch. Even those huge pieces of red velvet cake tempting you at the order desk. Grab a friend or two, sit back relax and enjoy some great food. read more

I know I said I wasn't gonna do chain restaurants anymore. Most of them suck and reviews are pointless. I'm not a fan. But I was so annoyed and irritated by my recent visit to this location that I couldn't resist. People need to know if there's a problem with a place. We usually go to the Frisco location, which has been amazing and I've never had problems. I love that I can get fairly healthy meals from these guys. I do love the broccoli salad and most of their flavors of chicken salad. But since we've moved, the McKinney location is closest to us and first impressions were not good. I got the new Maui Mama chicken salad with jalapeños, bacon and pineapple. Honestly, I don't know how it was possible to be as bad as it was. Somebody really didn't know what they were doing. Chicken salad should be mostly chicken and whatever you put in it is just to enhance flavors. They're what I called bonus flavors. I could not believe how much bacon and jalapeño were in it. This combination should've been out of the world amazing. I'm a personal chef and I can tell you right off the bat what it should've tasted like. Who doesn't love bacon and jalapeño. They clearly didn't seed the jalapeño. I'm not saying a little bit of kick is a problem. In fact, I like things pretty spicy. I can handle much more spice than the average person. But you don't leave all the seeds inside the jalapeño, especially not for something like this. I could not feel my face when I got done eating it. And I was hungry so I did just eat it no matter what. I mean after paying almost $13 for a scoop of chicken salad you don't want it to go to waste. I did almost throw it in the trash, especially because the worst part was the fact that there was hardly any chicken and it was mostly bacon. That's disgusting because I didn't ask for bacon salad. I didn't ask for jalapeño salad. I asked for chicken salad. Anyway, I just wanted to leave a quick review so hopefully this location and the people of McKinney know what's going on. read more

I came here to pick up three large chicken salads to bring home. I enjoy that they have all the options right in the cooler so than you can grab them yourself. I went with the Classic Carol. Kickin' Kay Lynne and the Sassy Scotty. Majority of the flavors I wanted were packaged that day which was great. The options for the Classic Carol however were packaged two days prior. I requested to have a freshly packed one as my husband and I would be having this for the week for lunch. Those packaged in 1/5/2026 are good though 1/9/2026 which would give us enough time to each through threw larger chicken salads together. Upon requesting that, the cashier had to ask the manager or shift lead. Then that the manager or shift lead gave me one. However, that did not come without a bad attitude of her telling me that they like to sell the old ones first. I simply stated to her that I requested a freshly packed one for a reason. I don't feel there should be any pushback when a customer is requesting freshly made food and not something that's been sitting in their fridge for 2+ days. Some training on how to communicate with customers would be great for that manager/shift lead. The chicken salad itself is always good though. We made sandwiches at home and have been enjoying each flavor. read more

When this location opened, food and cleanliness were impeccable. My recent late afternoon visit was like the several visits before this in the last year - lacking. Starting with the quality of the food. The chicken used in the salads continues to have more and more bits of gristle and bone. The pickle is served at room temperature and had a skin that was too tough to bite through. The prepackaged crackers are often broken in small pieces. Lastly, the vinyl table clothes aren't cleaned well between diners leaving stickiness and crumbs behind. I ordered an Olivia's quick chick to take with me. I was so sad to find I'd been given a fruit filled chicken salad instead of my correct order. read more

Chicken Salad Chick - Salad trio - Southern Near Me - McKinney, Texas

Overpriced for the food that you receive. The food itself tasted alright, but one ice cream scoop size of chicken salad and warmed up soup that is cooked from a corporate office, just isn't worth the price. It's a similar business model to Panera and the same reason why Panera is sadly failing right now. Throwing no shade at the employees here nor the customer service, which was excellent read more

Picked up some Quick Chicks the other day. A small Fancy Nancy for a friend and a large egg salad and a large Kickin Kay Lynne for me. My friend complained about the large, whole grapes (not sliced) in hers. The other add-ins, apple slices and nuts were barely detectable. I thought the egg salad was very average. Not bad and not great, just good. I've made better. I really liked the Kickin Kay Lynne, however! I'd get it again, for sure. Everyone working there was friendly and helpful. They gave me a lot of crackers. Three stars is a little harsh but everything was pretty expensive for what you get. The small is maybe two sandwiches worth and the large doesn't seem very large. Two of the dishes were ok and would get serious competition from the grocery store. Fresh, though. Call it 3.5 stars. read more

Wow! Let me start off with this. Chicken Salad sandwiches are one of my all time favorites and I was so happy to find this place! While pet sitting in McKinney I decided to order The Chick which comes with your choice of any scoop or sandwich topped with lettuce and tomato. I also got a side of fresh fruit salad, a small Macaroni and Cheese and a Coke. For dessert I got two of the Chocolate Marshmallow Crispy Bars to share with my daughter. The food was all fresh and super delicious and I only wish I had ordered a side of chicken salad to make more sandwiches later! I will definitely be coming back again soon! read more

Always a favorite, I've been to many locations and always have excellent service and food. It's a little girly inside, but that is their thing. And I am willing to sacrifice my masculinity and sit in an atmosphere that feels like a boutique teatime women's club, if it means I can eat their awesome chicken salad and incredible sugar cookies :0 read more

The Yelp reviews encouraged me to try them, so we did. Definately a cute little lunch spot. We decided to try classics first and then maybe at some point return and try other flavors. We ordered their classic chicken salad, classic egg salad, on top of a classic salad with classic ranch. $12.00 It was .. okay. The chicken salad and egg salad was definitely on the bland side, (a lot of mayonnaise) but nothing about it was "delicious." The classic salad was nothing more than a mix of romain lettuce, a few wedges of cucumber and a few cherry tomatoes. There was hardly a cup of lettuce but more importantly (and my biggest pet peeve) there was too much yellow lettuce, and by the time we picked it all out it reduced the salad to nothing. Next problem was the ranch dressing. It was awful, obviously not made in house. Really? Ranch dressing is not that hard to make. I make it at home all the time so when I eat out I don't want bottled commercial dressing. I'm not sure why, but I assumed this place pride itself on a "made from scratch" menu. As I sat and glanced over to their open kitchen I was disappointed to see many many many canned foods stored in the open. This tells me very little of what they make is fresh. There's too much competition among the restaurants right now regarding made from scratch menus. As a person who's interested in healthy eating options this will not be a place I'd recommend or plan to return too. read more

I'll take it or leave it, when it comes to eating here. It was just okay in my opinion. I got the fancy Nancy on a crescent with the fruit. Could have used a little more chicken salad on the sandwich and it was def just a light lunch- not super filling. Stay was not overly friendly, but def not rude. The place was clean and cute. read more

I surprisingly liked this place a lot. This wouldn't be my normal place to choose to eat; but I really liked it. It's decorated very quaint; gives you vibes of your grandparents place in the early 90's meets a picnic. It makes sense in my head! The menu is super simple and I love that. It's set up sorta like a Jason's Deli where you order and the counter and they bring it out. If you read my reviews I really prefer a sit down restaurant but those are phasing out now. I tried the trio with the Olivia's Old South, Classic Carol, and Fancy Nancy; then ordered a Fruity Fran, egg salad and grape salad. My kids got one kids meal with Mac n Cheese and were able to split it. It comes with a side so I just got another Mac for the side and they each got their own. Everything was tasty y'all; my favorite was the Olivia's old south, and my least favorite was the fancy Nancy but that was still good. Everything else was just as good; the grape salad it's dangerously delicious. If you're looking for chicken salad or just something quick on the go check this place out. One of the few "fast food" style places I will be back to. read more

Slightly disappointing. A friend of mine recommended because she says she loves this place! I went in and got a to go order. Super fast and friendly service. I was very underwhelmed. When we got home, we had to add our own seasoning because it's very bland. The best thing was the croissants. Beautiful decor inside. Will give it another try! read more

Chicken Salad Chick - Inside. Super cute! - Southern Near Me - McKinney, Texas

The best chicken salad ever!! I love this place!! The chicken salad is always fresh and tasty. There are different flavors to choose from. My personal best is Olivia's Old South. It has the perfect blend of mayo, eggs and pickles. Yummy!! You can get any flavor on a sandwich or get a personal or family sized container. I usually just order the chicken salad by itself. And you can request some crackers to go along with it. So good! If you love chicken salad, check out Chicken Salad Chicks. You'll love it!! read more

The manager here deserves a ton of praise! He was working the line, delivering food to tables, handling customer complaints, and take out. Great service from his team and you can tell the staff enjoy working with him. Food is fresh! Salad is perfect. I will be back. read more

Return visit after eating in the last few months at the Frisco location which is closer to our residence. This was the first location we ever came to and it is still doing great. This time I tried their new chicken melt sandwich which was first rate. Try it. Small but important point, I like the cups they use as they don't 'sweat' on hot summer days and the straws are big enough. read more

A coworker recommended this place. Soooo we went there to try it out. We arrived at 7 pm on a friday night but they took our order right away. We ordered the Old Southern on a croissant, and the BLT on toast with grape salad. Everything was served quickly and fresh. I nibbled my wife's sandwich an then mine. Although the menu says they're different they seemed the same. That being said the price was right, the atmosphere was nice and the food was bad. We'll be back. read more

I really really really love the food here but when it pisses me off to the highest point of pisstivity when I say before proceeding with my order I would like extra crackers ! I do not mind paying for extra crackers because I love crackers & I got two HUGE SCOOPS OF CHICKEN SALAD! Why would u give me 4 freaking small packs of crackers like 3 different times ? Like why ? If there is an issue giving out extra crackers; either say that or charge for them !!! Like I waited a month or two to come back to this establishment after the last rotten salad I received on my last order, didn't even take advantage of the so called credit I have with the store because I DON'T NEED ANYTHING FOR FREE ! I just want EXACTLY what I pay for ! The owner needs to set new policies in place or do some micromanaging to make sure things are ran like they were with this establishment originally opened ! Signed- I don't like begging for anything ! read more

I think it's a really cool concept! They have 12 variations of chicken salad. It ranges from traditional, savory, spicy to fruit and nutty. It's a counter service restaurant and be aware it is only open til 8pm Monday through Saturday and closed Sunday. It is decorated rustic with floral patterns. I had the sassy Scotty which is a a zesty blend of ranch, bacon and shredded cheddar cheese. It was perfect. I also had the seasonal salad. The lettuce was crisp and fresh. Try it with the poppy seed dressing. The employees were friendly ad helpful. I will definitely be back! read more

I do love their chicken salad, multiple varieties of it, and their grape salad is fantastic. However today when I ordered a croissant blt, I was unpleasantly surprised to learn that the components of this sandwich aren't even fresh. The bacon looks like it has been pre-made and just sitting there for hours with zero flavor or Texture, the croissant is nowhere near fresh. I don't eat bread often so when I do I want it to be really good. This sandwich was a huge disappointment. Nowhere near worth $12. I ate the chicken salad with the lettuce and the rest of it went in the trash. Such a waste. read more

Chicken Salad Chick - Southern Near Me - McKinney, Texas

I got the diva chicken salad which is the cucumber and dill and it was AMAZING. Kinda sad it's just a summer thing. I got the pecan salad on the side with poppy dressing, a little over kill with adding apples to a salad that also has strawberries but over all good. My husband got the sassy chicken salad on the BLT, wasn't a huge fan of his; more savory for my taste. The reason for not giving 5 stars is the consistency of chicken salad on my sandwich vs his was quite drastic. His sandwich didn't have much on it, also the guy at the counter that checked us out was kinda rude (I've been in the SI for years so I get having a bad day). Fast service. Can't wait for the Fairview one to open by our home, will be returning. read more

I was really excited to try Chicken Salad Chick after listening to a podcast on 'How I Built This' about their founders and have been wanting to try it for a while, but I was deeply disappointed and won't be coming back. Customer Service: First, when taking my order, it took awhile because the employee was having a hard time getting my order inputted and the employee next to her had to help. I assumed it was because she is new and getting trained. Then, one of my sides (scoop of fruity fran) was missing from my to-go order although the receipt was correct, so I had paid for it. When I called to get a refund, they said I need to go back to the restaurant (30 minutes drive for me) since they don't do refunds over the phone. I couldn't go back, so I was stuck with paying for a product that I never received. It seems like the employees overall need more training on fulfilling orders correctly. Food: I ordered a jalapeno holly croissant sandwich and it was too salty for my taste. It's too bad they forgot the scoop of fruity fran I requested as the side, since I may have liked that better. The croissant was also not too impressive. My husband ordered the Dixie chick, which he said was better. The tortilla soup he got on the side and lemonade was the best thing we ordered though. Overall, I unfortunately would not reccomend Chicken Salad Chick. Jason's Deli has better customer service and their chicken salad sandwiches and croissants are much better in taste and quality. read more

So so so so good!!!! They have like 15-20 varieties of chicken salad, so chicken salad for anyones liking. They are generous on the scoop and have good meal options. A little healthier "fast food" type food. We both had a scoop and salad and the salad dressing was fresh and citrus. The meal came w a tiny cookie too, just enough to complete the meal. They have nice, comfortable sit down seating areas and the staff is friendly and respectful. They do bust the table and will clear it when you are sitting. WILL RETURN! read more

the chicken salad was good but the lettuce was bad and wilted. gross! Overpriced as well for such a small salad.

We went to the Frisco location. The food was delicious. Dillon took our order & was very friendly. Jean who I think may have been the owner was super sweet. She checked on us to see how our meals were. Great customer service & everything was amazing. We will definitely be back. read more

This location is about half way between myself and one for my best friends. It is definitely a favorite of ours.

If you like chicken salad, you'll find something to love on their menu. I've tried several and the grape chicken salad seems to be my favorite. I just like the little bit of sweet with the savory. Their sandwiches are pretty tasty also. And don't forget the buttercream frosted cookie for dessert. Great concept, since I love a good chicken salad, I'll be back. read more

I came to this location when it first opened. I thought if this place is called "Chicken Salad Chick" I figured they have to specialize in chicken salad which they do! The menu was a little confusing, but the staff was patient and helpful. They give good portions that will leave you satisfied. There are lots of options on the menu to choose from so it might be a good idea to check it before heading there. I had a sandwich with tortilla soup. Your meal also comes with a cookie which is a nice treat. There is an option to have your bread toasted. Do it. It's so good that way. I actually said not to toast it and they accidentally did, which I'm glad they did! read more

Look...I know a trend when I see one. I was all over poke while most of you were going "ew...raw fish in a bowl? No thanks" and now I can't throw a stick without hitting one of you at my poke joints. Chicken salad is very "in" and I've been watching this place. I've tasted this food three times now and I can honestly say....meh. You guys remember when Milli Vanilli came out and you were all "Dammnnnn Gina! This song is my jam!" You had on Hammer Pants and "Blame it on the Rain" was blasting through your Walkman. We loved that song. We couldn't wait to hear more Milli Vanilli. Then NOTHING. NADA. NO MORE MILLI VANILLI FOR YOU. It was a gut punch because we felt like we had been given something new and they gave us just enough to want more. Chicken Salad Chick is Milli Vanilli. You listen to the hype, get super excited by pictures and reviews and in reality it's just some lip syncing dudes, er, chicken and mayo marked up to $8. I've tried only four of the 13 types they have listed, but if all 4 are bland, that's my signal to take off the Hammer pants and get into grunge. The service is abnormally slow (I've been on a weekday during non peak time, a weekend peak and a weekday evening) and they up sell you until you've paid $13 for a complete meal. Tonight I tried the southern style, which is like egg salad that got confused and dressed up like chicken salad and it was not okay. The chicken tortilla soup was bland and it was the smallest portion ever. It's soup! Give it to me by the gallon at these prices! I rarely buy a meal and still end up hungry after, but I did tonight. I get it's a trend and all, but food should taste good too. FYI to the manager of this chain - your workers need to practice manners. If they want to swear like sailors, hell yes I'm down, but they shouldn't be loudly doing it in the restaurant and definitely not THOSE curse words. Also, if one of them is sick, tell them to stay home or at the very least not to sneeze on folks food yo. Glad that wasn't my order. Just like Blame it on the Rain, if it's too good to be true, it's probably this joint. There really isn't anything worth putting those Hammer pants back on for. read more
