Was visiting Tampa from out of town and heard about this spot. Service was excellent and the salad was outstanding -- easily one of the best around. The restaurant was clean and smartly laid out, even during the busy hours. Definitely coming back! read more

I love Chicken Salad Chick! It's a great spot for a light, quick meal. This location gets very busy over lunch time, but the staff is friendly, and the chicken salad always hits! My favorites are the classic and the Fancy Nancy. Love getting a scoop with the broccoli salad. You can also get the chicken salad to go in larger containers, which is great for packing in the cooler for the beach! read more

I was pleasantly surprised. I had not had chicken salad chick in years so this kind of felt like trying it again for the first time. And I loved it, the meal I ordered was a jalapeño holly chicken salad sandwich with wheat bread toasted and a chicken tortilla soup. They were both great, especially for the price. The jalapeno holly isn't too spicy, it has the perfect kick to it if you're looking for a hint of spice. The service was also great, they were helpful throughout service. The ambiance was nice, quiet and cozy which was nice. Oh! Almost forget, the small cookie was delicious!! Perfect end to the meal. read more

The Red Velvet Cake is pretty darn tasty - it has the perfect balance of cocoa and vanilla and the color is spot on. Could be just a tad more moist. The cream cheese icing is sweet but not sickly; however, it lacks the tangy, rich decadence of cream cheese and is more akin to buttercream. Still a solid slice of Red Velvet Cake. read more

The watermelon tea here slaps! A must get! Lots of different flavors of chicken salad, but I go for the lemon basil or the cranberry. Decor is very 50's meets 60's with lime green walls with red daisies. Service is very prompt here, perfect for your lunch break! read more

10 out of 10 lunch in my book! This is a chicken salad lover's dream! So many different types of chicken salad! AHHHH it's overwhelmingly delicious. I act like a dog with the zoomies once I step foot inside! I personally enjoy Lauryn's Lemon Basil and Barbie-Q on a croissant with a side of macaroni and cheese. This meal comes with a complementary pickle and cookie. You can not go wrong with Chicken Salad Chick and that's on my life! I am a ride or die fan of this business and will ride until I can't ride any longer. read more

Stood in the front of the store, nobody in line, ordered one item, and watched 4 teenagers talking on their phone, eating food in the kitchen, and wandering around. Waited while they all wasted my time standing here for something I could've made in 30 seconds. read more

I used to love this place for a quick lunch with my daughter we always ordered the same thing. One day, she found a short hair in her food, and I later found a piece of plastic wrap in my salad. The manager apologized, said all staff wear hats, and offered a free meal next time. My daughter still goes sometimes, but I stopped eating there. Just sharing our experience so others can be mindful of what they're served. read more

Today, I decided to go a little different for Lunch. I tried out @chickensaladchick in Tampa. Thier sandwiches and soups are really good.

I love chicken salad, chick. It's great wherever you go always highly recommended and tons of options to choose from.

Great chicken salad, very fresh greens and friendly people! Not sure why I need say more?

There's something about chicken salad that feels nostalgic for me, and I love getting the BLT sandwich! I'm definitely a plain eater when it comes to chicken salad, so I haven't tried any of the more unique flavors. I love the Classic Carol and the Fruity Fran. I have had an issue with them running out of flavors during the day, but at least I know that it's freshly made and if you don't get it early enough then you're SOL! The hours are tough - they close at 7:30pm daily and are closed on Sundays. Not ideal for all lifestyles (especially on the days and times I'm randomly wanting chicken salad, of course) read more

Wow!!! This place rocks! Chicken Salad Chick is finally on Kennedy and doing great. Parking situation is a little tricky but there are more spots in the back of the building. Out of the 12 different kinds of chicken salads they offer, my favorites are Sassy Scotty (cheddar, ranch and bacon), Jalapeño Holly (spicy), Lemon basil and Kay-Annes. Btw, all the names of the chicken salads are named after the founders family and friends. Such a sweet way to remember the ones closest to her. Only criticism, i wish they had healthier sides. Broccoli salad with cheese and bacon is yummy but very sweet. Other than that, I am a fan. Also, the cashiers and staff are super sweet. read more

It was super good. I highly recommend this place and will definitely return here soon! read more

Chicken Salad Chick - Lauren's Lemon Basil sandwich with Fruity Fran Chicken Salad scoop - Southern Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I had no idea that a place that almost solely focuses on chicken salad could be successful, but here we are. This location just opened up near work, and it was all anyone could talk about. So I decided to give it a try a mere two days after they opened. I thought they might be busy, but I guess I caught them at the right time (about an hour before close) because I had no wait. They had far more flavored chicken salad options than I had ever thought possible, but thankfully they'll let you try whatever you like. I thought I'd get just the "Classic Carol" (the original recipe), but upon trying the Lauryn's Lemon Basil, I decided I liked it better since it has a bright, citrus-y flavor that isn't overwhelming. I ordered it as a sandwich (if you order white or wheat, they can toast it, but they cannot toast croissants), and opted for the wheat bread. For my side, I chose the fresh fruit. I only had to wait a few minutes before my food was brought to my table. Even though I'd asked for the bread to be toasted, and it certainly LOOKED toasted, it didn't taste like it had been, so that was a little bit of a letdown. But overall I was surprised by how much I liked the sandwich. I tend to get tired of chicken salad sandwiches halfway through, but I actually ate the whole sandwich, which is rare for me. The plate comes with a dill pickle (yum) and a small iced cookie, which is a nice touch. But the one thing that really did disappoint me was the fruit. Like I said, they'd only been open for two days, yet my fruit -- especially the strawberries -- tasted old. I ended not eating most of them because they were soggy and bruised. The interior of this place is beautiful and charming in an Old South sort of way. The staff are still obviously quite new, but they are all very polite and happy to answer any questions. I can see how this will easily slide into the lunch rotation at work! read more

I have had the pleasure of dining at Chicken Salad Chick on two separate occasions and look forward to dining here more! My son and I attended the grand opening celebration at Chicken Salad Chick on West Kennedy Boulevard. The staff was so welcoming and helpful during our visit! My toddler and I made lunch plans with fellow Yelper, Anna, so we arrived early before the crowd arrived. We bumped into other Yelpers, Tina, Nick, and their precious daughter. I tried the Fancy Nancy Chicken Salad with fuji apples, grapes and pecans. The chicken salad wasn't too sweet and the apples and nuts gave the salad a nice crunch. There was the option to order the salad on bread or over salad greens. I skipped the croissant, but it looked really good for a cheat day! The salad came with choice of a side dish and crackers, a pickle and a cookie. I got the grape salad on my first visit, but it was a little to sweet so I ordered the broccoli salad on my second visit. I loved the chicken salad and my son was a big fan too! There are about a dozen chicken salad options so I will be returning to try the rest of the menu. If you're watching your diet all of the calories are listed on the menu. This is a great addition to South Tampa and I am glad to have another kid friendly spot to dine at. read more

They have such a great selection of chicken salad and how you can get it. Just scoops, or as a sandwich. They also have pimento cheese and plenty of side choices. This is a favorite! read more

I have to admit, I was totally skeptical about trying this place out. Knowing they have ton of locations around the Tampa area didn't even phase me. The hubs had been telling me to go to one for years! I finally took the jump, and my manager and I ran in on a lunch break to check out the fuss. Wow! Upon entering we were over whelmed by the choices of chicken salad! Who knew there were so many versions!? Not knowing which one I wanted, the cashier gave me a sample of them to figure out what suited my tastebuds! I ended up with the Dixie Chick! The salad alone is enough to fill you up, but you have options! They have soup, you can make it a sandwich and they also have different sides to accompany your food. I have to say, I was impressed. The smiles, the samples, the southern charm just emitted from this place. I will definitely be back for more! read more

A great idea, done up right. We discovered the place a while back and keep returning. The salads are always fresh and tasty. My wife always gets Classic Carol and I like to try different flavors. I had the Dixie Chick last time and loved the onion in it. It's a friendly place and you can eat there. We do mostly takeout and order online. Quick and convenient. read more

Chicken salad, one of my childhood favorites...I didn't know what this place was until recently and decided to try it out at a different location and am hooked. The Kennedy location had their grand opening today and it was packed! The ambiance is very southern casual and the employees keep the theme going with their polite, upbeat, and quick service. You have the option of multiple types of chicken salad as a sandwich or as a scoop (served with crackers). Soup and salad are also available as some of the side items. This visit, I got the Cranberry Kelli, which is chicken salad with cranberries. I opted for the sandwich on white bread with a side salad. As usual, the food was fantastic and gave me a feeling of nostalgia. Lucky for me. I had the privilege of meeting the founder as well as receiving a bonus of chicken salad once a month for a year! Even without the freebie I'll definitely be getting my fill of chicken salad from now on. If you want something to whet your childhood appetite, come on by and try Chicken Salad Chick! You just might be surprised! read more

I had a girlfriend suggest this place to me and it did not disappoint! I actually thought it was chicken that would be on a salad not a chicken salad, but that was just my dumb consumer brain. It was worth the non-vegan splurge! I ended up getting the cucumber dill chicken salad on wheat toast. However, I realized I could've gotten it on a croissant after which would be fire!!!! I got it with a fruit salad which was nothing too fresh for the portion that I got but I really wanted one of their buttercream cookies and to my surprise when I opened my to go box it had a small baby cookie in there! It was so divine. I'll definitely go again and try another flavor this time on a croissant. The inside is pretty large to set up for a small group and the parking is ample as it is in a strip mall. read more

I ordered the classic chicken salad sandwich croissant with lettuce and tomato and side of sassy Sam chicken salad. It comes with a free buttercream cookie which is delicious.

The restaurant is located in a strip mall right off Kennedy blvd. Its easiest accessed from the side street on the right side of the building and there is also additional parking. Its a pretty nice restaurant it reminded me a lot of the decor/design at the First Watch off Henderson blvd. The staff was really friendly and helpful. I asked for the nutrition and allergy info while I was ordering and they had it readily available in a binder. Their website also has the info which is helpful because I was able to find a keto option for my husband beforehand. The chicken salad is absolutely delicious and I loved it. I can not wait to return and bring my gluten free bread so I can make a sandwich. You have a return customer! And 2 orders for salads was only 14.00$ that price point is awesome. The salad was fairly large, it made 2 servings for me and one for my husband. read more

I have loved Chicken Salad Chick since having discovered them at the USF area, and until this place opened, I had to travel mighty far just to get my Chicken Salad fix. For those are not familiar to the CSC concept, they offer an insane variety of chicken salad. Before, I would have never fancied myself a chicken salad kinda gal, but one taste of this seemingly simple concept and I was seriously in love. I'm huge fan of pretty simple lunch food (but ONLY if done right) and the quality of CSC shines bright. For me, I'm a savory kind of gal, so I go for either Sassy Scotty ( bacon, ranch, cheddar) or Kickin Kay Lynne (almost the same as Sassy Scotty, but hot). I pair this up with a croissant to make a sammich (my usual) and get their delucious broccoli salad as the side (perfection with bacon bits and cheddar cheese with some kind of dressing that i cant identify that's so good i tip my head back and drink what's left in the cup) The meals come with a cookie,but yoy can buy a decorated frosted cookie or a marshmallow treat if that's not enough. They also have monthly dessert specials that's worth noting. What i love about this location is that it's so easy for me to get to. It's always clean, and the staff here are always polite and prompt. Definitely one of my regular spots now. read more

It's chicken salad, people. If you like chicken salad, you will like having all the different varieties of chicken salad to try. If you don't like it, well, I think they have a turkey sandwich on the menu too. I like getting the trio. I get a scoop of the Kickin Kay Lynn, then I try a different flavor of chicken salad, then I get the grape salad, because it's the very best side dish in the world (huge, juicy grapes with sour cream, pecans and brown sugar). Eat the chicken salad with wheat crackers so you can pretend you're getting your whole grains and that it negates all the mayonnaise. The place is always clean, and the staff is friendly and efficient. Love the mini cookie that comes with the meal. I don't consider chicken salad very exciting food, but everything here is tasty. The decor looks like the place is permanently ready for your baby shower or grandma birthday party. read more

This is my go-to when I don't have a taste for anything. This chicken salad hits in all the right places. I have tried a few different offerings. My all-time go-to favorite is Olivia's Old South A southern tradition combining sweet pickles & eggs. My side is a grape salad. it is so delicious. On a croissant is the way to go. I like the decor and the relaxed atmosphere. I will just swing by and grab a bite. It is one of my happy places, not just because of the sweet little cookie they give you as part of your meal. I suggest you give it a try. read more

OBSESSED. I am so sad that we don't have any of these near me. While in town, I tried this for the first time and was blown away. It is difficult to sell me on any form of healthier option and this did it. A guilt free, GREAT meal. I finished and immediately wanted to go back again. I have been craving it ever since. They let you sample any flavors and have a wide selection to choose from. I appreciated their classic flavors and also loved the bbq (super unique and tasty). Everyone apparently LOVES their cookies (and my friends family fights over them- true story). The staff was super friendly and helpful, too. Southern hospitality at its finest. read more

Chicken Salad Chick - Chicken salad on a croissant. A side scoop of bbq chicken salad. A side of pasta salad. A bonus cookie! - Southern Near Me - Tampa, Florida

This will be a two-fold review. The first was from yesterday via Uber Eats. After reading the descriptions from their website, I settled on Classic Carol on a croissant and a scoop of Sassy Scotty. I received my food in less than 20 minutes. It was packaged very well and the portion was perfect for the size of the croissant. This was some of the most delicious chicken salad I've ever had. I thought that title forever belonged to a bistro back in Memphis, but that is no longer true. I took my time and ate my croissant. I did have some tortilla chips with it. It filled me up, big time. I ended up snacking on Sassy Scotty a few hours later, before putting the remainder on two slices of wheat bread. The scoops aren't gargantuan, but the flavor in the chicken salad is! The punch of flavor in Sassy Scotty, helped me to go into the physical location. Today, I walked in (around 12:35pm) and they were pretty busy. Other reviewers mentioned this place is hopping around lunch much time. The busy flow of things didn't take away from some superb customer service. The nice lady who waited on me, was super patient. I had it in my mind to enjoy a croissant and make it a trio. I sampled Dixie Chick, Lauryn's Lemon Basil, Cranberry Kelli, and Kickin' Kay Lynne. I will most definitely order Dixie Chick next time! I had Kay Lynne on a croissant and got a scoop of Classic Carol and Sassy Scotty. It didn't take two minutes to have my food waiting for me at my table. Overall, my experience was very pleasant. The food, customer service (I was checked on by 3-5 servers while I was seated), and cleanliness of the restaurant were all worth it. The price matches up well with the food I received. I'll certainly come back here again and eventually try all of the signature flavors! Oh, that little butter cream cookie is to die for! And, because of this place, I've never be attempting to make chicken salad again :) read more

The concept of this place is great but the execution is terrible. The original chicken salad is just a heap of mayo and shredded chicken, no flavor, no freshness, just yucky. And I bit down on a large very hard chunk of cartilage in mine. The sandwich bread was dry and bland, the crackers (which are meant to scoop up the chicken salad, I presume) were stale and fell apart instantly. The pimento cheese chicken salad was extremely salty. The broccoli salad was made with an extra sweet coleslaw sauce and crumbled bacon, odd flavors. And the fruit had passed it's prime! My husband and I had undesirable gas for many many hours afterwards. I don't find chicken salad hard to make, but this place somehow misses the mark, big time. read more
