Still love this place! I pretty much hate chicken salad anywhere else but here. I absolutely love the variety here and have found some really awesome stuff here. I also really enjoy the fact that I can mix it up by eating it by itself or on a sandwich. I may even try some of the ones I haven't liked alone on a sandwich to see if I like it better that way. I can't wait to come back! ***Get To Go: Sassy Scotty To Try: Pimento Cheese: Spicy Sandwich: The Chick Sandwich: Turkey Club Sandwich: Turkey Pesto Mac and Cheese Pasta Salad Loved: - Chicken Salad: Sassy Scotty - Sandwich: Chicken Salad BLT Liked: - Chicken Salad: Classic Carol (best without crackers) - Chicken Salad: Lauryn's Lemon Basil - Chicken Salad: Kickin' Kay Lynne Ok: - Chicken Salad: Fancy Nancy - Chicken Salad: Jalapeño Holly - Pimento Cheese read more

Food is tasty, so no complaints there. However, the staff is very rude, surly, and unprofessional. I was nothing but pleasant with the cashier, but she was incredibly unpleasant. After she helped me, she went back to leaning against the wall with one of her co-workers so that they could chat. I don't like to be treated this poorly (and I would never dream of treating a customer of mine this way), so I guess I'll just not return. If they don't fix the customer service, they aren't going to have any more customers, even if the food is tasty. read more

This restaurant is delicious! Who in the south doesn't like chicken salad? Chicken salad is my most favorite salad, I could live on a diet of chicken salad and pizza. Chicken Salad Chick did not disappoint; I ordered the Olivia's Old South BLT. Can I say OMG! Then as a side they let you pick another chicken salad flavor, I chose Classic Carol. It was great too. They have 12 chicken salad flavors to choose from, pimento cheese, soups and salads. The service was fast, however there was a line when left, but it was moving quickly. If you're in East Memphis, or travel from Collierville like I did, this is a must stop for a good chicken salad. Oh, and they give you a cookie too. read more

This has got to be one of the worst places I've worked in my life. The distract manager is one of the nastiest people I've worked with. My friend quit do to her being a punching bag and being treated like nothing, her mental health was destroyed so bad when she left she didn't talk to anyone for days. She told me she was talked to like she wasn't a human and was told who she should and shouldn't talk to due to the color of their skin a situations in life. I was forced to quit because the district manager didn't like me and I never even spoke to her while working there because she only talked to certain people (white). She tried to have me written up for nothing my manager knew she was wrong and called Human Resources to see what to do because she said it wasn't right. The sad thing is I actually loved my job but I was tired of being picked on for no reason. read more

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

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

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

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

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

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

This was my second time visiting Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken, with my first experience being…read moreat their East Atlanta location. This time around, I stopped by the Downtown Memphis location, which is tucked away in a residential area not too far from Beale Street. A little off the beaten path, but definitely worth the trip. Now, let's talk about the experience. When I walked in, I wasn't greeted or acknowledged. A few employees made eye contact, but nobody said a word. I eventually learned from another customer that it was a seat-yourself establishment. Interesting! LOL. However, the moment I sat down, someone came right over to take my order. I guess everybody strictly stays in their lane around here! I ordered the three-piece white meat meal with coleslaw, baked beans, and a small side of mac and cheese. BABY, that chicken was GOOD! Everything came out in a timely manner, piping hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The chicken was seasoned just right, and the portions were generous. Exactly what I was looking for! Another thing I appreciated was the cleanliness. Both the dining area and restroom were clean and well-maintained. The prices were also very reasonable, especially considering the quality and amount of food you receive. My only real criticism is the initial customer service experience. A simple greeting or acknowledgment when someone walks through the door goes a long way. Other than that, I enjoyed my visit. Would I return? ABSOLUTELY! The food speaks for itself, and Gus's continues to deliver on that front.

The chicken had a good spicy and juicy. The sides needed seasoning and help all the way around. Our service was nice and good just the sides I had a big issue with.

We spent our first night in the state in Memphis and were ready for some good Southern food. We had the ribs, barbecue, beans, sweet tea, and a cold beer--and everything hit the spot! The ribs were tender and flavorful, and the sweet tea was the perfect introduction to the South. The service was great, the wait was minimal, and our food came out so quickly it was almost like they were waiting for us to arrive! The atmosphere was lively with that great Memphis energy--a little loud, but not overwhelming. There was something special about sitting down to Memphis barbecue after driving all the way from California and realizing, "We made it to Tennessee!" A delicious and memorable first meal in our new home state.

The atmosphere was welcoming, lively, and full of great energy. I sat at the bar, and my bartender did not miss a beat. Even though I was dining alone, she continued to check on me throughout the evening and made sure I was well taken care of. I ordered the ribs dry with the sauce on the side, and they were absolutely delicious! They were packed with flavor and literally falling off the bone. The baked beans and turnip greens were also extremely good and definitely worth trying. Overall, I had a wonderful experience from the food to the atmosphere and service. I'm definitely glad I gave this spot a try, and I would absolutely recommend Blues City Cafe if you're looking for good barbecue and a great atmosphere!

I can not believe I have not reviewed Soul Fish as of yet. I am a huge fan…read more Let me preface this review by saying ... My grandfather owned two successful catfish restaurants. 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!

I'm a creature of habit so I get the same thing with fried okra. The service is always attentive and giving.

I recommend going during the lunch hour or during the week for dinner because on a weekend or Sunday afternoon, you're gonna have a wait.

I had to see what all the buzz was about I had heard about, and Central BBQ did not disappoint. The smell of smoke hits you before you walk in and the food lives up to the reputation. I went for the ribs , pulled pork sampler, and quickly understood why this place is so popular. Tender, smoky, and packed with flavor, some of the best BBQ I've had. I have seen few other reviews with low rating, but all I can says It was great for me. A late review but I had to write one because BBQ, Memphis, and service is on my mind right this minute. If you're in Memphis, Central BBQ is a must-stop try spot.

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
