Chicken Salad Chick is the definition of fast casual done right. No frills, no gimmicks, just consistency, quality, and efficiency every single time. The food is always what you expect. The quality never varies, service is always fast, and something I really appreciate is that the staff will come pick up after you, even though it's not a full-service restaurant. That level of care goes a long way. I've genuinely never had a bad experience here, which is impressive over multiple visits. And while chicken salad may not be the most exciting food category, if you're looking for reliability, this place is king. My personal go-to is the Lemon Basil. The lemon brings a bright, fresh, almost summery flavor that keeps it from feeling heavy. It's light, refreshing, and consistently delicious. If you value speed, consistency, and knowing exactly what you're going to get, Chicken Salad Chick absolutely delivers every time. read more

Great Food and Great Service!!! I got the Sassy Scotty sandwich with a side of macaroni and cheese. The sandwich was a nice size with the flavors complimenting each other. My wife got the Fancy Nancy. Instead of a side she opted for another scoop of Fancy - with no additional charge. She loved hers and saved the other scoop for another meal. The service was friendly and efficient. We both liked the table clothes. There is also outside seating. We will be back . . . again and again. read more

I had seen this place several times before and wanted to try it. The customer appreciation event this week gave me the perfect chance. CSC was giving out a free scoop of their basic chicken salad to each customer, no purchase necessary. They mince the chicken so finely; it was delicious. We decided to purchase the buffalo chicken salad to take home, which scored us another free scoop of their basic chicken salad. I will definitely be back to try others; the fancy Nancy is calling to me. read more

Definitely returned to Chicken Salad Chick, as I was back in town. Had the Chick( Lauryns Lemon) on white bread. The chicken salad was very fresh as were the accompanying vegetables. The chicken salad could have used more lemon flavor as it was lacking but again, was still delicious. My chicken poblano soup was excellent as it had just enough spices and chicken. Unfortunately, I was too hungry and ate my lunch without taking any pictures. My companions enjoyed their chicken salad plates and sandwiches. They said that the macaroni and cheese was surprisingly delicious. The lunch rush moves quickly, in part to the efficient staff and manager. read more

I've heard so many people rave about this place and how they stop by every week and get chicken salad to take home and eat on through the week. So I stopped by, got a few small containers to try. They were all sweet because they put sugar in the chicken salad. Gross. Unless you are using sweet pickles (ick!) there should be no reason to put sugar in chicken salad. Thank you Mike for your response. I was basing the chicken salad being sweetened based on taste and as per the labels on the containers of chicken salad I purchased all said sugar. I think I got the plain, lemon, and basil chicken salads. Maybe it's something in the way the chicken is cooked? read more

Delicious! Ordered a sandwich for pick up- cost effective, delicious, convenient. The employees were fantastic too! Thank you! read more

I saw a tik tok of this place a few months ago and was salivating. However, I don't have one close to where I live. Came to town to visit family and ordered delivery of their melt with sassy Scotty . OMG so tasty. I can't wait to come back to try other flavors. Broccoli salad was yummy as well. read more

The highlight of the show was the unexpected sugar cookie. I don't know if it identifies as a sugar cookie but it was soft , moist & creamy! I really enjoyed that small palette cleanse. Now to my overall experience- I drove roughly 30 mins to try Chicken salad chick since my girlfriend's raved about it for weeks now. The restaurant decor felt southern, warm & welcoming. I found it to be more of a quick snack vs an actual dinner as it was light but satisfying. Service was quick & prompt but that didn't compromise the integrity of the food. I think I'll be going back today for a quick snack since I'm on the side of town. Recommend: Fruity Fren Updated: 3/26/2024 the cookie is still the star of the show!! read more

Chicken Salad Chick is one of my favorite places to have lunch. If you are cutting your carbs, you can do that here. The salads are always fresh and flavorful. I enjoy the fancy Nancy chicken salad. The Fuji apples give it the perfect crunch and it's never salty or overly done with mayo. Another favorite of mine is the Broccoli Salad. You can get your fiber in with this cruciferous veggie and enjoy a little flavor and protein with the shredded cheddar. So Happy for this new location that is closer to home than the Cary store. Give the chick a try ! read more

Chicken Salad Chick recently opened in Raleigh, NC so that means no more drives to Cary for chicken or egg salad. It is behind where the McDonald's was on Lake Boone. I didn't plan to stop on the second day opened but when driving home I decided to stop. I wasn't sure what the parking situation would be but it wasn't too bad. The outside seating and dumpsters do take up some of the parking spots. The staff is friendly and someone is near the registers to greet you. There are menus near the door too. I'm not sure I like this layout of the restaurant though as when you walk in you walk into the dining area here and nowhere to view the menu without disturbing those eating. Then after ordering to go you basically wait in the dining area too so you are right near those dining in. I ordered egg salad and the three chicken salads with fruit. Then got the grape salad with both meals. I did get a free water bottle for the second day giveaway. They have different giveaways all week. read more

First timer: I'd driven past so many times, I thought I'd give it a try. The food was pretty good. 8/10. The choices for chicken salad are vast and the restaurant inside was cute and comfortable. But the soup quantity (serving size) was insulting. The cup wasn't close to being filled and when my tiny spoon hit the false bottom, I was actually shocked - the shallowest bottom I've ever seen (proportionally to the container). I could actually tip the "full" cup without spilling and see the bottom, so the tiny container wasn't even half filled. The false bottom was 1/4 inch up from the bottom edge of the outside wall. The colors on the outside mislead because the colors go well below the false bottom and the white ring left on the outside is so much smaller than the actual distance the false bottom is from the bottom. I estimate the total soup to be about 8 teaspoons. Ridiculous. read more

Such a great place. They have egg salad, pimento cheese and turkey sandwiches if you aren't a fan of chicken salad. All of the chicken salads are fantastic. The sides are so good also. I like the buffalo Barclay, the sassy Scotty, and the jalapeño holly. You get a side a scoop a pickle and cookie as a meal. Good service and a clean location. read more

Service is good but the food leaves a lot to be desired. the classic chicken salad is loaded with salt and it is grown so fine you cannot see the ingredients. For a dairy-free person, most of the sides are out. I did get some grapes that were so sickeningly sweet that I felt sick for hours later. You can find a healthier place to eat, and I will stick to my local spot that does delicious homemade chicken salad and chicken vegetable soup. read more

I put in a to go order since I didn't have time to sit and eat. While I waited I noticed the place was clean and well ran. I got my food and I have to say - best chicken salad sandwich hands down. I got the Cranberry Kelli melt and it's my new favorite now. I'm trying the Fancy Nancy for dinner tonight. I got the grape salad as well and it was just as good. Highly recommend! read more

Chicken Salad Chick is pretty good. I'm a fan of chicken salad and they have tons of options. I also love anything spicy so I'd like to try all their spicy options. I got the buffalo Barclay chicken salad with broccoli salad. Everything was really tasty. The chicken salad tasted just like a buffalo chicken dip. The broccoli salad was crispy and fresh with a tangy flavor. I love that the meal has a pickle and a cookie. I'll be visiting again soon! read more

Interesting place. I will say that the staff is so super friendly. We hadn't been here before so the girl at the counter was really helpful and very sweet. The chicken salad is great and I do appreciate that they have a couple non-chicken salad options for adults and kids. I got the chicken salad on a sandwich, and to be honest, I could have done without the bread, it wasn't great. Got a side of the chicken tortilla soup and it was actually pretty good. Decent sized chunks of chicken, decent sized serving as well. My husband got the side of broccoli salad and really liked it so we ended up taking one of their premade salads home. It is cool that they have a cooler up front of prepackaged sides so you can just pick something up and go. So, the decor is weird. Right? Like it gives off this 2009 lime green, awkward floral zebra print kind of vibe, it's hard to explain. You could look at their business icon alone and know exactly what I mean. I wasn't sure what to expect when walking in but we were happy with what we got. read more

The food tasted great! The people were wonderful. The unsweetened tea tasted really good. The pictures on the walls were relaxing.

This was my first time eating here! I dined in and had a great experience. The service was fast and the cashier's were quite helpful. I ordered a chicken salad BLT with the traditional chicken salad on a croissant. The meal came with chips and a delicious little cookie, I got a lemonade to drink as well. The chicken salad is good, I'd say 8/10. But I did get the traditional chicken salad, next time I'll try a different rendition of chicken salad that they have to offer. read more

Very cute and clean restaurant. Employees friendly and very helpful. Chicken salad was delicious. So many selections to choose from.

Chicken Salad tasted good. Broccoli salad was okay a little dry. Potato soup was good but no better than canned soup. Customer service was great. Restaurant was clean. No gluten free bread or crackers or Gluten free soup for this type of restaurant is unwise. A high percentage of their customer base would utilize this option. I left hungry after spending over $15 for lunch. All portions are quite small.Their profit margin must be very high. Nothing was bad I guess I just don't get the hype. read more

It's simply the best chicken salad you will ever experience. It's the highest quality with unsurpassed attention to the details. You should definitely check this place out! read more

My family loves Chicken Salad Chick so we are frequently there picking up several tubs to take home. Tonight (Sat night) I ordered 3 different ones to be delivered to have after church tomorrow. When they arrived, they got 1 of the flavors wrong (which is my favorite one-- Olivia's Old South). I called and the manager drove the correct one over to my house!! Which isn't close to their location. I am so impressed by their customer service. Not just great chicken salad but great service. read more

I was looking forward to trying this because I had heard about it from different sources. However, two stars for three reasons: One, I was shocked at how expensive it is. $7.50 for a small container they claim is for two people, but a hungry adult could easily polish off. The large container is over $12 I believe. I tried three different kinds. My second objection is that while they were all decent, none of them were outstanding in any way. I've had better chicken salad from a variety of sources. Frankly, I was expecting a "wow" factor and was surprised that it just wasn't there. And I'm not that fussy! The third reason is the deal killer for me; the ingredients include high fructose corn syrup as well as corn syrup. First, neither of these ingredients are really good for you (do your research). But I was very disappointed that they felt they need to add sweetness to a food that doesn't need it. That happens a lot, and it's a sad commentary on American tastes. I usually avoid HFC but I made an exception this time. But I won't again. read more

God food and fun atmosphere. The service is wonderful. Definitely a great place to have lunch.

Went to the Raleigh location a week after they opened. I got there at 11:45am on Monday, the second week after opening. By the time I checked out, people were piling in. Very popular already. I was greeted by what appeared to be managers. Very helpful. I went to the prepared foods section and grabbed a couple of chicken salads and a pimento cheese. Went to the checkout where the employees were just as helpful and pleasant as the first individuals I encountered. Somehow I thought I read that you could buy bread, like a loaf or something. I asked and was told yes. I was offered white, wheat or croissants. I said white. Then the employee asked for how many sandwiches. I said 4 sandwiches. She then packed just 4 slices of white bread into a plastic baggie and charged me a dollar per slice. I guess bread is not something to order. It all felt awkward. Pros- Food is very good. It's nice to have so many chicken salads, pimento cheese and egg salad...plus lots of side options available instead of fast food. Really cute establishment. Feels comforting inside and I like the packaging and logos. Cons - A lot of construction in the parking lot. Not the restaurant's fault, but annoying. I look forward to going back and trying some more new things. I think they have soup too and maybe desserts! read more

Got takeout only. Food is good and service was quick and friendly. Looks OK to eat in.

I had the pleasure of eating at Chicken Salad Chick for lunch today. I enjoyed the broccoli cheese soup and a scoop of Fruity Fran - delectable and light! Staff were super friendly, and my food was delivered very promptly! I loved how the owner came to my table to ensure that my food and dining experience were good. Today I tried the white chocolate cake- I am typically not a cake fan, but I must say, that cake is AMAZING! So moist and luscious ~ the cream cheese frosting totally sealed the deal with its sumptuous tangy taste that balanced out the sweetness of the cake perfectly! If you haven't tried it, I HIGHLY recommend!! Thanks for a great lunch today Chicken Salad Chick Team....I will be back!! read more

This place was an unexpected surprise. Was looking for something not fried and came across this little restaurant. Decor was really cute and southern porch style and the workers were friendly and helpful. The chicken salad was absolutely delicious and I wish we had these up north! I tried the basil and lemon and then bought the cranberry and pecan one to go and enjoyed that today for lunch. Next time I'm in the area I will come back here! read more

Great options for enhanced (or traditional) chicken salad. Pricey, but it doesn't drive the crowds away.

Delicious food! Super fresh, good portions and quick and friendly service. I go here all the time!
