Yummy Yummy! My first visit to the place and I ordered the Fancy Nancy, I like grapes and apples in my chicken salad! The chicken Salad is really good! Great consistency and flavorful. Not to much mayonnaise. I got mine to go on a croissant, that wasn't my favorite. Bread was kind of hard like it's frozen and thawed not fresh. Next time I'll try it with crackers or toasted bread. It comes with a side which gives you the chance to try other things which is nice. They have egg salad, pimento cheeses and a variety of chicken salads. So if you don't like fruit in yours you can get the traditional chicken salad. They also have soups. Came with a cute little cookie that was very sweet and a nice little treat at the end! read more

This place was pretty crowded when I walked in. It took about 10-15 min to get through the line. I placed an order for a Sassy Scotty sandwich with a side of Fancy Nancy. Both were great and flavorful. The cookie that comes with the meal is outstanding and I wanted to go back buy a dozen (I am a sugar addict). All in all, I would gladly come back and grab lunch. Very solid meal. read more

Such a quick, easy, relatively healthy & delicious East Mphs lunch option. Only complaint is that chicken salads are too salty! Would 100% love this place if it weren't for all the extra saltiness. I've heard the same feedback from others also. I still have lunch here often. Definitely one of the best "healthy"/quick/affordable weekday lunch options in the area. read more

What a great, quiet solo lunch I had. I was stuffed for only 8.99. I had broccoli cheddar soup with crackers, chicken salad on a croissant with a juicy tomato and fresh lettuce. All with a pickle wedge on the side and a delicious cookie for dessert! Even before our current terrible economy, I'd say it's a good deal. The staff were all friendly and looked happy at their jobs. They had over 99 on their sanitation score. Comfortable and roomy seating. I wish I had more good things to say. I'll definitely go back, next time my nieces visit, since they have a few good items on the children's menu, even for picky eaters. AND COOKIES, yay! read more

I had been buying the small containers for my mom who recently had brain surgery- she LOVES it. We are expecting icy weather the next few days so I wanted a BIG container- well they didn't have any. A nice brunette lady with awesome tats said she'd fix me one! GREAT! As I looked in the kitchen I noticed she did several things with the container in hand before putting the chicken salad in it. Two big containers emerged from the kitchen-one which she instructed the cashier to put in a bag for me and one to put in the lobby display for sale. I asked the cashier to switch mine out for the lobby container- it honestly had more in it. As the cashier attempted to put the one I was given in the display case she was quickly told to remove it. Maybe Im paranoid but what was wrong with the one put in my bag? Why could it not go in the display case for sale? I never touched it-the cashier switched it out. All I know is I don't feel comfortable giving the chicken salad to my mom nor will I ever go to this location again. I was excited to get a $15 container of chicken salad but left very disappointed-especially for my mom. read more

This place was really tasty! They have a huge selection of chicken salads to choose from and allow you to taste a sample before deciding. I can't remember the name of the one I decided on but it was spicy with jalapeños mixed in. There was a really good one with grapes that I will probably get next time. You can choose the type of bread you want and it also comes with a side plus a cookie. The price was $7.99 I believe although I paid extra for the seasonal salad. The customer service was excellent and the cashier took the time to walk me through the menu and give recommendations since it was my first time here. They were also very quick. I'd recommend it! read more

See that beautiful piece of toast? It's only toasted on one side making it "half toast, half bread". Chicken salad on bread is not my idea of "on toast". (My preference). Had the "Fancy Nancy" because I like nuts and grapes in my CSS. It was slightly better than okay, but not mind blowing, same with cheddar broccoli soup. Next time I will ask for "both sides toasted" toast. Maybe the young attendant was wrong when she said "that's just the way we do it". We'll see, ...would like to try it without soggy bread. read more

Great Taste PLUS: (TIP) - Get a 2nd scoop as a Side My wife and I had heard about Chicken Salad Chick for awhile, but hadn't had time to try them out. We missed out. Our family went for dinner before seeing "A Christmas Carol" at Theatre Memphis this past season. Great food. They may tell you, but here's a great tip. You can actually get a 2nd Scoop of Chicken Salad AS one of your Sides! My wife and I both opted for the Fancy Nancy. I then went further and added the Buffalo Barclay as one of my sides. Both flavors were very tasty and quite good. If you haven't been yet, stop putting it off. Treat yourself to some great Chicken Salad. read more

I love Chicken Salad Chick, it's somewhere I don't go often but I know that they are pretty good whenever I have the craving for chicken salad. I went today for a quick early dinner and got it to go and as I was eating it, I found a literal penny in the middle of the buffalo chicken salad. Hair? I get it. Sometimes it happens, and people have hair but a penny???? It's so so so unsanitary and disgusting and I don't understand how a penny would even get into a scoop of chicken salad. read more

OMG!!! My wife told me about this place a few months ago as she and her sister tore down on it in Dallas. She said it was liiiiiiit!! (not her exact words). So last Saturday the fam grabbed lunch here (it was very busy). The line moved very fast and the place was packed. They're going to need to expand soon to handle the lunch crowd IMO. We managed to find a table, however. The food was delish! I had the chicken salad this time, but want to try the pimento cheese next time. I had the Dixie Chick style sandwich on a croissant and a scoop of the Fancy Nancy style on the side. Both were fresh and very flavorful. I also had a side order of the broccoli salad with shredded cheese, bacon and sweet vinaigrette dressing. I could have eaten two bowls of the broccoli it was so good. I love the décor; the service was fast and friendly; and the atmosphere was fun and lively. I highly recommend this place and we WILL be back. read more

I'm in love with a woman and her name is Chicken Salad Chick! I was skeptical at first, I mean how do you have an entire restaurant based on chicken salad ha! ha! ha! hmmm... I ordered the lemon basil chicken salad on a bed of salad, the absolute only way I like my chicken or tuna salad. The salad greens were very fresh and the chicken salad was so good I didn't need salad dressing. I love soups and one of my favs is tomato. It was creamy, flavorful and had chunks of tomato just the way I like it. I wonder if they make it in-house? Lastly, I don't usually talk about beverages because I try to always do water, but I was curious about their lemonade and iced tea. I love when a restaurant offers sweet, unsweet tea and lemonade. I was able to make my VIP my way, so of course I have no complaints. My prayer for my new found love is that she stays consistent, fresh and flavorful. read more

Got lots of chicken salad and spicy pimento cheese to go with some butter cheese frosted cookies. This is good stuff. Hey get a $5 donation card and get over $60 worth of free stuff every month I hot a large $11.99;bbq chicken salad today for free. Good food for a great cause. I have now tried the fruity Fran chicken salad and it is very good but I added some walnut pieces to make it perfect for my pallet. I also really like the spicy pimento cheese, it is spicy but not hot and really cheesy and perfect on bread plain or toasted. It's 6.99 for a small container or 11.99 for a large which is the same price for all the chicken salad and other to go offerings. The barbecue chicken salad has a unique flavor and very much represents the bbq claim and I enjoyed it plain but also would hold up with adding lettuce and tomato as well as a great addition to a salad. The restaurant is simple but very clean and bright and all of the people I met were very nice and helpful. I will be making lots more trips for take out, for certain, but am looking forward to my next visit for a dine-in. read more

Okay first I want to say I love how many options are available. The chick is super affordable and gives you so so so much food. I only gave 2 stars because the staff is so hit or miss. I don't mind having to wait. I went in to pick up an order and saw it was not ready (which was fine). Once it was ready it (I saw it) no one handed it to me. I was still fine to wait. They helped 6 people order and they even received their food (after my food was ready). This time when the woman asked for the next person in line I walked up to the counter and said "actually I've been waiting on my food that is ready. Could you hand it to me?" And she said "I'm actually going to help the man who is in line but I'll get my manager to check on that for you". She was super dismissive and rude. I don't know why they wouldn't just give me my food that was ready lol. Service at this location is either great or annoying. I would still recommend you go there! It just seems like the staff is frequently petty, confused, or rude. It's more of an inconvenience than a reason not to eat there but I thought I'd share my experience. read more

The food however was honestly meh (in my opinion). I got a creole dish and to be fair my dish looked beautiful. The plating was 10/10 but the taste for me left something to be desired. After eating this dish I questioned if I even like creole sauce because it really just wasn't that good. If this is a preference issue, I honestly don't know. I also thought the charcuterie appetizer had a weird mix of items on it from club crackers, to meat and cheese, and random veggies. Not bad but just kind of a weird mix. My husband ordered the salmon and he said it was good, not the best he's had but it was good. Other friends of ours got the white fish among the many other dishes. I did have a salad with these apples on it which was incredibly yummy. I will say though my dish looked amazing some of the other dishes were not plated well. Not to nitpick but to want to be considered a more upscale restaurant which means charging guest more money than say a local Applebee's then knowing how to appropriately garnish or drizzle sauce to elevate at plate is important (see my picture of the chicken dish). All and all not my favorite restaurant but definitely not the worst!!

As a child I grew up on fried fish filets and hush puppies until my grandfather had to retire and sell his restaurant due to his Health. He still cooks up a mess of catfish for us about two or three times a year when we visit. Yum! My standards for good catfish are extremely high. Good fried catfish is not greasy, light cornmeal batter, tender flaky inside, and slightly crispy on the outside. Sounds simple enough but the truth of the matter is... Good fried catfish takes skill. After an epic searched for any decent catfish in Memphis and surrounding areas that took a few years ... My family and I decided to give up. And when I heard about Soul Fish it took some considerable convincing to get them to go. We where, none of us, disappointed! Soul Fish is without a doubt the best Catfish in Memphis. It is perfectly fried... Hushpuppies are tasty, coleslaw edible if not always yummy, fried pickles crisp and tart, pickle green tomatoes so yummy I could swim in them, and vegetables always cooked and seasons well (special recognition to the cabbage, broccoli, and black eyed peas). The service is always friendly, fast, efficient, and correct. The blackened catfish is pretty tasty too ... Sometimes they get a little heavy handed on the seasoning. Deserts are pretty great as well. My sister loves the Mississippi mud chocolate thingy they have (I'm not a chocolate fan). I've introduced many people (about 40 or so) to Soul Fish - locals and visitors alike - and no one ... And I mean not a single one of them where disappointed. So why four stars instead of five? True... the catfish is the best in Memphis - however it is not the best I've ever had. And Sometimes a filet or two at Soul Fish fall short of perfection... However ... I'm a regular and a fan of Soul Fish Cafe. If you have spent hours and disappointed meals trying to find good catfish in Memphis ... Look no further ... This is the place for you. I promise you will not Be disappointed!

He went on to explain that they missed a step and did not rub in the seasoning and shake it off. I don't care. It's an internal quality issue that should be handled with the prep and cook staff. Not me. He asked if I had my receipt and, in a tone that suggested he was doing me a favor, advised me that he would replace the slab. No apologies for the inconvenience or anything. After my long workday, I went all the way downtown to get the slab replaced. In person, Ethan is just as rude. I asked if he was going to replace both slabs. He could clearly see the quality was trash. He said no and that he would only replace one. Then went on to offer me sides and a slice of cake. No, thank you. I can afford sides and cake just like I did those trash slabs of ribs. Those slabs of ribs cost $62.40 before taxes. With taxes probably being another 5 or 6 dollars. Your mistakes and poor quality should not cost me. He had a young lady bring the replacement slab back out to me. She didn't say thank you or anything. One thing I know is that a white man or woman patronizing your business would not have been treated this way. As a result, moving forward I will spend my Black woman dollars elsewhere on barbeque and smoked chicken wings. Also, I removed you all from my company's approved catering list where we spend a nice amount with you all yearly. Tell Ethan, thanks for helping me see the light and not spend money where I'm not respected and where my customer experience isn't valued.

The fish was fresh with just the right amount of flakiness. The cheese grits were very tasty too. Definitely a southern experience worth having.

Recommend the pimento cheese bread sticks for appetizer or any other time. Also, this was the first time I've had a Kilkenny draft which was another highlight. I see now it's rare to find. Smooth and creamy. If I lived nearby, I would be here more often. It's a little on the expensive side, but well worth the price and experience.

Unfortunately, the food has been consistently underwhelming during my recent visits. I first ordered the lamb chops. They were not what I would consider traditional lamb chops and were surprisingly chewy and difficult to enjoy. I returned and decided to try the Irish Curry Chicken. It was, without exaggeration, one of the worst dishes I've had there. The menu described it as chicken thigh, but it was clearly chicken breast. The dish lacked basic seasoning and flavor. There was very little salt, umami, or curry flavor. The rice was wet, overcooked, and mushy. Overall, the entire meal tasted like something taken from a grocery store freezer section and reheated. At this point, I would recommend sticking to the fries and the burgers, which remain the strongest items on the menu.

Sunrise Memphis did not disappoint. We stopped in around 12:30 p.m. on a Wednesday and didn't experience any crowds or much of a lunch rush. That being said, after eating here, I completely understand why people mention waiting hours on weekends. The ordering process is simple: walk up to the counter, place your order, grab a number, and seat yourself. I appreciated that they offer both breakfast and lunch all day because it meant we didn't have to choose between the two. I ordered the chicken tenders with tater tots and an Arnold Palmer. Everything was fresh, hot, and exactly the kind of comfort food you crave in the middle of a long road trip. Kyler ordered the Kitchen Sink, which came with eggs, bacon, hash browns, grits, and a biscuit. He asked if he could swap the cheesy grits and biscuit for biscuits and gravy, and they ended up bringing him everything anyway! It was a massive meal, but absolutely delicious. Beyond the food, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I also loved the fun, eclectic atmosphere. The colorful Memphis touches throughout the restaurant gave it so much personality, and there was even a bar area that made me think this would be an absolute blast for brunch with friends. Sunrise Memphis ended up being one of our favorite surprises of the entire drive. If you're passing through town, do yourself a favor and stop here.

This place is quirky with its decor but on point with the food. Get the bacon! Always get the bacon! I'm still dreaming about it! Be warned! We were told during busy times, the line stretches around the building for a steady 8hrs at a time! May the timing of your visit ever be in your favor!

The vibe felt like a speakeasy turned restaurant. While larger than a traditional speakeasy, it still managed to feel cozy, intimate and inviting. Shortly after we were seated, the restaurant manager stopped by our table. My sister asked for cocktail recommendations... if you're a cocktail fan, you're in for a treat. Their signature cocktails were thoughtfully crafted and exceptionally well-balanced. We went with their spicy margaritas. As for the food, I could have easily ordered a second helping of the Cajun Abita shrimp appetizer and called it dinner. The shrimp was perfectly seasoned, and the sauce was outstanding. The accompanying beer bread was equally delicious...slightly reminiscent of cornbread but with its own unique flavor. My sister and I weren't huge fans of the She Crab Soup. It was simply too rich and creamy for our tastes. One bite was enough for us although my dad seemed to enjoy it. The Blue Window Wedge Salad is their take on a classic wedge which was spectacular. It will be hard to find another wedge salad that measures up. The sweet potato pecan casserole was good but it felt like it was missing something that we couldn't quite put our finger on what. The maple bacon Brussels sprouts were a table favorite...perfectly cooked and well-seasoned. My dad and sister both enjoyed the braised beef, which was served with mashed potatoes and asparagus. To finish, we shared the white chocolate bread pudding and it was absolutely delicious. In fact, the table next to us seemed to enjoy theirs just as much. Overall, this was a wonderful dining experience with great service, a memorable atmosphere, excellent cocktails and standout dishes. I'd happily return the next time I'm headed downtown.

Hair in the chicken salad and hair in the potato soup. Yuk! Manager wanted to refund $3.00 for soup but the entire meal was only $7.99. Wth? She insisted the only person handling the food was a male who is bald despite having 4 females in the kitchen. She told me they were not around the food at all. They were in the kitchen cleaning. I suggested maybe it was a eyelash from the bald single male handling food and she said well we don't have hairnets for eyelashes. Lol!!!! This place is a joke. Look before you eat. read more

It comes with tortilla chips and they recommend trying it with the green Tabasco sauce. That adds a little heat to it. For my beer, I had a Memphis Made Fireside Amber Ale, which paired well with the both the appetizer and my entree. My entree was the Blackened Catfish with White Beans and Hushpuppies. I also tried their Homemade Tartar Sauce and Remoulade. Everything was excellent. I noticed they do quite a bit of carry out, to go orders.
