Very good. The menu is a bit challenging but really good. Fast service and from what I can tell they do a good take out service

I love Chicken Salad Chick! I literally danced around when my bestie said let's have lunch there! It was super busy on a Friday for late lunch, but the line moves quickly and the folks at the counter are super friendly. I had the Dixie Chick scoop I love the flavor of the onion in this one. I stole a bite of my friends pimento cheese and it was super yummy and creamy too! While it was a full house we grabbed a table and it was comfortable to sit and have a conversation. Rumor has it that they are opening a location in Hamburg (South East Lexington, Ky) in November 2025! I can't wait for this to happen!!! read more

First time trying it out. Went on Veterans Day for the free meal. It was really good and I will be back for more as soon as I can. I got the original chicken salad on a croissant and it was really good. The little cookie was tasty. Was much bigger inside than I thought it would be. read more

They had a nice, welcoming staff here. Our order was out quickly and it tasted great! We tried the Maui Mama seasonal flavor and we loved it! The restaurant also appeared very clean. read more

Honestly, not what I was expecting at all when I walked in. From the people to the food to the ambience it was great! Definitely will be coming back read more

10/5/24 My husband and I came here for lunch and decided to try out a new place. I love the ambiance here is very homey and inviting. It's a very cute setup, makes me want to have a tea party here. Chicken Salad Chick is a must-visit for chicken salad lovers! I ordered The Chick with a scoop of Olivia's Old South, Sassy Scotty, and Kickin' Kay Lynne, and it was a flavor-packed experience. 1. Olivia's Old South: A classic, creamy chicken salad with a hint of sweetness from the relish--simple, traditional, and perfectly balanced. 2. Sassy Scotty: This one is rich and indulgent, with just the right amount of ranch, bacon, and cheddar. It's comfort food in every bite. 3. Kickin' Kay Lynne: if you love a little heat, this option brings a zesty, spicy kick with a blend of buffalo sauce and jalapeños that makes it stand out. Each scoop was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying, served alongside crackers, which made for a perfect light yet filling meal. Whether you like classic or bold flavors, there's something for everyone. The service here is top notch, as you decide on which item to order, you can sample anything, I love that. I'll definitely be back to try more! read more

Lots of choices of chicken salad made with a variety of fruit or nuts as well as spicy options. They also have pimento cheese and egg salad. They will give you samples if you are unsure which you would prefer. We had pasta salad and broccoli salad with our meal. Service was great! Even though it was busy we got our food quickly. The restaurant is decorated nicely. It's like having lunch at your granny's house! Vinyl table cloths always remind me of my granny's house. I also appreciate the drink station! Sweet tea was really good as well as the strawberry lemonade. I'll be visiting an again for a great meal. read more

I've been a loyal customer of Chicken Salad Chick for years, often ordering $100+ of food for holidays and guests. A favorite item has always been the potato soup. In the past, the franchise owner explained it could be sold heated in gallon bags (per health regulations), which allowed me to freeze it later. However, in both 2024 and October 2025, my orders were prepared in quarts instead, despite my clear request to keep it in the gallon bag heated. Staff told me it was against regulations, which contradicted what I had previously been told. When I raised the issue, I was treated as though I was being rude rather than a frustrated paying customer. Even the owner told me she "did not have to serve me at all" -- after already accepting my $119 order. The food itself is good, but the inconsistency, lack of staff training, and poor customer service are disappointing. If gallon soups can no longer be sold in bags, that should be made clear on the website and through staff, so customers aren't given conflicting information. read more

Hands down the best chicken salad and I have tried every variation on the menu and of course the cookies after are always a must

I mean... it's chicken salad. What do you expect? Freakin ambrosia? Get your anus to some kinda fancy sandwich place If you expecting that kinda sheet. Here? We like simple food with simple ingredients. For simple folk. Yes, I AM talking smack to you Cletus. Oh, and it's super good. Sorry, forgot to mention that. read more

Always a great sign when the place is packed as soon as they open. Parking isn't that great due to all of the shops in the Brannon Crossing strip but it's worth the walk. My favorite is the "fancy Nancy" chicken salad because it has grapes and nuts in it. I pick up the pre-packaged portion and they give me all the crackers I want. For $8, it makes a great lunch and better than eating a burger! They always have a ton of people working there and plenty of indoor/outdoor seating. The only thing I haven't tried yet are the daily soup specials but everyone around me was getting a "pick 2" with a sandwich and soup. Definitely try it! read more

The food is great. I've eaten here several times and never had an issue with the food. There is a blonde girl with blue eyes she is the sweetest she complimented my phone case. So super sweet. Today I went in and I ordered through the app and drove straight to the store and said my order name. The lady who I am guessing is the owner was standing and said there's no order it declined. I responded back "shut up no way" and reached for my phone and she said "Yup they sent an email". Firstly you didn't even greet me you just immediately said my card declined. I've worked in food service and my father owns 3 restaurants. I know the situation of an order declining and through email you'd receive the notification. I didn't know that happened until I drove the 22 minutes from my house to get there and you told me in a smart a** way yeah it declined. The look in her eyes was as if I was claiming a free meal from them and it rubbed me the wrong way. I made another order and sat and ate my food. I love the restaurant but if you're the owner lady you gotta do better. I felt embarrassed you said that so loud. I'll be back of course bc the concept is so cute chicken salad with little crackers but I wouldn't want her helping me at all. The lady that did give me my new order was a sweet little woman and that's what's crazy to me. They are all so nice this is the first time I felt slapped in my face. Not everyone is out to get a free meal lady. I know the restaurant business and I know when someone thinks someone else is trying to get over on them. That wasn't the case. I made an order and got in my car I didn't check my email. How about you have it set up to where it sends a notification to your phone number. That'd be way convenient. read more

I've been a regular customer here very excited to have a chicken salad chick in our neighborhood. however, I'm disappointed about a month ago. I got a dozen of their mini cookies. They're all individually wrapped packaged in one bag and they were stale. Today when I went in and ordered a sandwich, the croissant was stale. I ordered it without lettuce and tomato and it came with lettuce and tomato I understand errors happen. It's the stale items that concerns me. This has been a very tasty treat to your typical fast food but it's not impressive when things are stale. read more

Awesome chicken salad, I had the classic chicken salad, delicious and excellent potions, restaurant was clean and well lit, plenty of staff to help assist with my selection, read more

Try the Sassy Scotty! I was so impressed with the customer service. Everyone was so friendly and the food is unbelievable. My family tried several menu choices and every single one was absolutely delicious! A big win in my book! read more

I have been wanting to try this place forever and while I was suiting Lexington I finally did. It's a really cute place and decorated so nice. The staff is so helpful and you can sample anything. I ordered the chicken salad blt with the Olivia Old South which has sweet pickles and egg. The bread was toasted with robust tomatoes. You get a side item. They have grape salad broccoli salad potato soup and a few more goodies. I got the soup of the day chicken artichoke. One of the best I have ever had. They are opening one right by me and I can't wait!!! read more

I hadn't been to Chicken Salad Chicks and decided to try it today. It's Chicken Salad Sandwich Week! Their offering was a Chicken Salad BLT in a wheat wrap. It was delish, and no skimping on ingredients. They were doing a brisk business, but very quick to serve and very friendly. The interior is so cute, but it was such a beautiful Spring day, I decided to eat outside and enjoy the sun. The Chicken Salad Chicks are a hit! 37 read more

i am so sad to know that chicken salad chick no longer carries egg salad any longer. i have been receiving gift cards for years due to my love for their egg salad. i hate to toss those gift cards, but i don't suppose i have a choice, i am not a fan of chicken salad. please bring it back or share the recipe so that i can make my own. bad choice chicken salad chick, you lost a loyal customer. sad day read more

Yum! Great service. Great atmosphere. Great food heck and drink the watermelon tea is amazing! read more

I've had some meh experiences here before, but this review is for my most recent experience, which was quite good! Ended up getting some chicken poblano soup to go with my Dixie sandwich and it was a great combination (not too spicy or salty, just right)! It was very busy inside, but it was still very clean. Service was great, and my food was ready to go very quickly! read more

I have often thought that a chicken salad place would work. Well this lady had the same idea and created the Chick Salad Chick franchise. She took it to the next level with creating multiple flavours of chicken salad using different ingredients. My favorite is Fancy Nancy that has grapes, apples, and pecans in basic chicken salad. Delicious!! She has some sweet varieties as well as some savoury and some spicy. They also make egg salad and pimento cheese. Pimento cheese was a staple on my home growing up. So it is nice remembering my mom while enjoying a wonderful lunch. The salads come on croissants, bread, toast, and scoops with crackers. Anyway you want it. Their sides include a broccoli salad with bacon, onion, cheese and a sweet dressing. My granddaughter likes the kids turkey sandwich with a fruit salad side. And to top it all off, everyone gets an individually wrapped sugar cookie with a button of icing on top. Perfect way to end the meal. They offer catering as well as easy pick up containers to go of all of their salads. The service has always been top notch and the inside of the restaurant reminds you of a sweet little cafe. Great place to go for lunch. If you have not tried it, please give them a shot. I'm sure it will becoming a regular lunch spot for you. read more

A little weird being in a strip mall, no drive-thru, etc. The inside of this location was actually very nice. Staff friendly as always. I had the Dixie Chick (w/onion), my fav, because my mother made her chicken salad that way. It is delicious and takes me back. I've most of the others, and they're good too. Although I would skip the Classic as it lacks a little something. Think of it as the blank canvas the other flavors start from. My sister got the Lemon Basil, always a solid choice. She had a scoop, I went for toasted Wheatberry. Its a personal preference, but chicken salad on toast makes me happy. As for sides .... go with either Pasta or Broccoli Salad. Both are terrific and you won't be disappointed. I've tried the Mac& Cheese at 2 different locations ... tasteless. No flavor, nothing redeeming whatsoever. Its the only reason I can't give them a 5 star. I love this place. But Mac&Cheese isn't hard and this effort is inconsistent with everything else they do great. Fruit side is weak too. Small portion, bland, flavorless. Stick with the 2 salads mentioned. I haven't tried the soups yet, maybe this fall. Hopefully they are on par with the main course here. Love this place as an alternative to the lunch burger joints!!! read more

A great place to grab something fresh and delightful on your way to work or great choice for lady's wine night snack. My personal favorite is the jalapeño holly but there are many choices to choose from - from salty and savory to sweet and delightful. The soups are good as well and the service was incredibly friendly. A great place to grab a quick bite while you are out shopping as well. read more

Chicken Salad Chick - Jalapeño holly BLT and broccoli cheese soup - Sandwiches Near Me - Nicholasville, Kentucky

The food in general is ok. The recipes are all standard. Certainly nothing new and innovative. I've made chicken salad etc...similar but better for 50 years. It's good for a quick bite but not a meal! I'm glad they are doing well though. I like to see small business (even franchises) do well. its nice that workers from the area have a place to eat that isn't a greasy spoon. But I'll make my own chicken salad, egg and pimento cheese. i'll admit i've not tried their soups or broccoli salad. i am a soup fanatic. So hopefully they are above standard. I'll try them next time i go to the area. read more

There is a woman with short brown hair, I think her name is Karen, and she is SO RUDE. I have never been so consistently mistreated as a customer. Food is good, though. Lol. read more

I love visiting Chicken Salad Chick after a trip to Home Goods! I love their many varieties of chicken salad, with the jalapeno version being my favorite. My all-time favorite is the grape salad though! The only reason I'm giving it a 5, is despite considering myself a Christian, the last few times I've been in I've had to listen to very gossipy customers venting about their local churches - and the staff have chimed in too. With the Christian music in the background, its just a bit too much for me to have a great in-person dining experience. read more

I eat here at least 2 to 3 times a month. i've never had anything bad until today. I have 100% disappointment the lettuce look like it a month old I had all the ends of a tomato that didn't even bother to cut the ends off of it. The pickle was dried up, and the bread was hard for $12. I couldn't even eat my lunch today. read more

Great food and a nice place for lunch. Staff efficient in preparing food. Near good shopping and great hotel nearby.

Ordered a side of macaroni salad and sat down. When I picked up my order, it had some sort of broccoli salad on it. I told the middle aged woman who took my order this and she argued and said I ordered a broccoli salad. I don't even know what that is.... I told her that. She asked for the receipt. She looked at it and duhh, broccoli salad was on there. She said that was proof I ordered broccoli salad. Umm...is it really? Let's think about that. There's another, more likely answer. I just walked away and took the L. What a lovely experience. So yeah, I paid for a side I didn't want and didn't eat because this woman assumed I wanted free food? She even came by and cleaned up the full container of broccoli salad. My dad said never wonder why people do the things they do, but I'm truly baffled by treating people like garbage over a something so trivial. read more

Love it when you can sample before ordering!! Met there with a group of ladies from church and had a wonderful time and great food. We all ordered differently but no one was dissatisfied with food or service. The staff answers questions without getting testy! Love love that!! The watermelon tea was resin enough to come here!! I don't think you'll be disappointed. I ate there for under $15 read more

The service was very quick (I placed a curbside order). I had a scoop of plain chicken salad on a croissant and a scoop of the lemon basil chicken salad on the side. I loved the basil! Super fresh and summery! The portion was so big I ended up making another sandwich the following day. It also came with a small sugar cookie which was yummy! read more

Restaurants like this are the reason why 'big box,' fast casual - not to mention gross and overpriced - places like Panera should cease to exist! From the moment I walked in the atmosphere was comforting and the staff were friendly, and not in an obnoxious "I'm doing this because they're paying me to" kind of way. All I can say about the menu is: WOW! Most sandwich places only have one, if any, variation of chicken salad, but true to their name, CSC has a boatload of them. My cashier, Jasmine, was very friendly and helpful, offering me samples of both things I was curious about (actually more but I was holding up the line). I settled on the Fancy Nancy, which was phenomenal, and coupled it with a cup of loaded potato soup, plus a drink. Just over $10 with tax. More than reasonable for a scrumptious, fast, sit-down lunch. I'll be back again and again and again. **UPDATE: I have been back at least 3 times since my first review...that I remember, plus I had my boyfriend pick some up for me once and I also ate their catering at an event once, but who's counting? Lauren's Lemon Basil is hands-down my favorite, but I also love Olivia's Old South, Classic Carol, Cranberry Kelli, and Fruity Fran, in that order. read more

Honestly I couldn't find anything wrong with here. It was clean and the gal behind the counter were polite. I wanted my lettuce and tomatoes on the side. I love their broccoli salad.

This is a restaurant I have been wanting to try since they opened here in Kentucky. The chicken salad with cranberries is really delicious. I got double chicken salad with my sandwich on a croissant and another flavor of chicken salad as my side. Both chicken salads were excellent. I took my croissant sandwich to go as the one scoop filled me up. The sandwich will be for later but had a small taste to rate sandwich which was excellent. I would love to try some of their other salads and will be back. Everyone was really friendly here as well! Thanks for a great lite meal! read more

First visit to this restaurant. Pleasantly surprised. The was friendly and helpful. My son and I were allowed to try everything before making a decision. I surprised by the variety of options. We chose the jalapeño chicken salad and tortilla soup. Only thing I didn't like my bread choice. They have white and wheat bread and crescents. I picked the crescent, which I thought would be toasted. It's not and it's doughy. I should just ordered a scoop and used the crackers. I will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu. read more

My friends always rave about this joint and thought I'd try it out for myself to my dismay they forgot my large order of chicken salad and it was too pricey to just overlook that error had to drive across town again to pick it up wasn't even given anything to compensate except a few free small sugar cookies. One more thing that went slightly wrong was I asked for them to remove two items from my sandwich and I don't know if it was a bad day for them or a person was in training but basically had to dissect my sandwich even then it was basically ruined from the Mayo and the Tomatoes juice oozing through the entirety of it leaving it soggy. The food was however fresh tasting so that was uplifting at least but I'll probably stick to making my own sandwich as this was supposed to be less hassle and buying store bought chicken salad. read more
