Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Dining area was clean and comfortable. Chicken salad was delicious!

My chicken salad melt on croissant was very good. The tomato soup was not good. Had an off putting taste to it. Only ate a few bites. My husband had the Fancy Nancy one scoop and he suspected canned chicken. Our total price was $28.00. The cashier who helped us was very nice and friendly. Her name was Karisma. read more

I ordered a toasted Chick BLT. It came out surprisingly fast! I soon understood why-- It was pre-made. The "toasted" bread was cold and limp, and the bacon was cold. This stuff has been sitting in a refrigerator. I expected fresh, warm toasted bread and warm, crispy bacon here. Instead, it was like eating leftovers. Something is missing at Chicken Salad Chick, and its Love-- care-- attention to detail in each meal served. read more

What a great spot! Some many different chicken salads to choose from! The service was great, I wasn't sure which salad to get and they let me have samples! I ended up with the Fancy Nancy! It was the perfect amount of chicken and mayo and all those flavors! The restaurant was super clean and staff was very friendly. read more

I want to preface this with the fact that I love this place. It's casual. It's great for groups of friends. It's great to go alone. The staff is always friendly. The menu is vast and the food is always fresh. It's conveniently located in the shopping plaza directly across from Mayfair And it has its own parking area which at times I won't lie has scarce parking but one of the tips I tell people is to park in the lot crossing over the lanes that stop at the light to cross over to Mayfair. It's not busy enough that you have to worry about traffic or speeders. And it saves you grief getting in and out of a very tight parking lot where parking is limited because of the bank and they're marked spots. The inside is really convenient. There's eating pretty much everywhere tables when you first walk in booths in the back tables to the side different areas. The ordering counter is very easy and fluid. Sometimes you get occasional people that go the opposite way lol they don't read the signs. However the staff is patient. They have menus at the registers and above your heads you can also look online and place an order for pick up. For this particular check-in, I did a takeout order ordering at the time of arrival and it was ready literally less than five minutes. My favorite chicken salads are the fruity Frann and there's another fruit one that I love too. I can't think of the name of it. I also love the basil and lemon and I do love the classic as well as the one that's all about the yellow onions lol I'm Italian! I love my onions, however when I'm gonna see my friends, that's not the choice I'm gonna get before I go see them lol they have a selection of drinks. They have a selection of desserts like rice, crispy treats, and cookies macaroons every sandwich comes with one dill pickle spear and a singular sugar cookie with icing that is individually packaged, which I absolutely love and once you order your meal, you just conveniently sit at the bench and wait and they bring it out to you. It's not very quiet in there so if you're looking for a place to sit down and work and have a sandwich, that's not it. This is the place you go with a bunch of friends or you go with your mom or your dad and you go out to lunch as a family or you just go with your kids they have outdoor seating as well in the front with a gated area, which is always good for when you have little ones that have to sit at the table. Aside from that, what else could I say? Other than if you don't like chicken salad this isn't gonna be the place for you, but I will tell you I never liked chicken salad until I had chicken salad, chick sandwiches. I also tend to buy the little containers of the bring home chicken salad to make for my kids they love it. Especially the one with the grapes in it. My little ones that are three years old they devour their sandwich. The one thing I will mention is that there are three types of bread and you also don't have to get bread. They'll do it on the lettuce bed and one of those breads is a croissant. Or white or wheat or the other two options You can get your stuff toasted or not toasted. There's a lot of of accommodations and flexibility in ordering. Definitely a place to check out if you're not wanting to sit down meal of any kind with table service and pay a huge amount of money this is economically reasonable and it's also popular and that says a lot Always clean when at least I'm there and I have done delivery from this location as well and the food always comes nicely packaged read more

Food is phenomenal! Presentation is such, that you know is going to be delicious. Not to mention the mini buttercream frosted cookie as the sweet treat! The dining area is clean - no loud noises...very calm to sit and enjoy your meal. First visit, and highly recommend. read more

I've worked in many restaurants. The taste of the chicken salad itself was very good, it's clear that the prep is well done. However, the way it was assembled was honestly awful. My bread was burnt and the edges were visibly crumbling. It was not a melt. I'm not one to leave reviews, but my food was assembled so horribly I had to. I work at Mayfair, right across the street, and will not be going here for lunch ever again. The cashiers were very nice, but I recommend that the kitchen pays more attention to what they're actually serving, even if it's "fast food." read more

"Boys and things that come by the dozen But that ain't nothin' but drug store lovin' Pretty little thing, let me light your candle Cause mama I'm sure hard to handle" (Otis Reading) One thing we love about travelling is trying different restaurants. We had never heard of Chicken Salad Chick, so when we saw them en route to our hotel, we headed inside and immediately were floored when we saw they have a dozen varieties of chicken salad! They all have cute female names like Sassy Scotty (with ranch, bacon and cheddar), Fancy Nancy (with Fuji apples, grapes and pecans), Barbie-Q (with smoked barbecue flavor), Jalapeno Holly (with diced jalapenos), well you get the idea. After you choose your chicken salad, you can order it as a scoop or a sandwich served with your choice of sides, a pickle spear, crackers and a cookie. At just $9.49 that's a great deal. Our $20.09 lunch was fantastic. We both went with a scoop. My wife had "Classic Carol" with a Grape Salad side. I went with Barbie-Q with a broccoli salad side. The chicken salad was phenomenal. A big scoop of silky smooth, full of flavor, and easy on the mayonnaise goodness. My Broccoli Salad was outstanding too - "Fresh broccoli florets tossed in a sweet vinegar-based dressing with shredded mozzarella & cheddar cheeses, topped with crispy bacon". I want to thank our server Skye who walked us through the somewhat imposing menu. She really helped us out and made it easy for us newbies to understand things. Skye wasn't the only helpful worker there, it seemed that everyone was smiling, pleasant, and helpful. Southern hospitality at its finest was on display. I was so impressed with the chain, I checked out their website and saw they have over 225 restaurants in Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, N Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, S Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia. Nothing up in the northeast, where I am, and I hope they rectify that someday. read more

While in town visiting, my friend recommended Chicken Salad Chick for lunch. At first, I was apprehensive because I'm not a chicken salad fan. Luckily, I can always find something on any menu and I went with the Turkey Pesto sandwich. It was AMAZING. The pesto mayo really made the sandwich stand out. My side was the fresh fruit. The staff here were amazing. So friendly. So helpful. I found out this franchise has a location in my own town and I may have to stop by there once I'm home. read more

Why on earth did Chicken Salad Chick change their menu?? They used to serve chicken salad on a bed of fresh delicious green vegetables with cucumbers. I thought it was so delicious the first time I had it. Went back and they said they just changed the menu last week. Now there is NO actual green salad on the menu at all. I don't want a combo of grapes, broccoli salad, or macaroni and cheese. I want that delicious and fresh, cold salad with crisp lettuce. I really think that was a bad move. I would not have removed salads entirely from the menu. read more

My wife and I both got sick here after eating a chicken salad sandwich. There was also a hair in my soup. Very bad experience and we will not ever eat here again. Too many safe and tasty restaurants in the area than to take a chance on this one. read more

Absolutely my fav spot for chicken salad. So many options! My mom and I dropped in as we spent the day shopping together. The staff offered suggestions and were friendly and welcoming. One of my recommendations for friends and families when they visit read more

I'm impressed! Three of us had lunch the other day. Our friend suggested this place. I'm glad we went, as it was our first time there. Our friend told us the chicken salad was the best in the area. Right outside the door was an advertisement for poblano soup, which was a limited time offer. I had to try it! We checked out the menu and I decided on the savory Lauryn's Lemon Basil scoop with a side of the poblano soup. The fruity and nutty chicken salads sounded too sweet for my taste. You order at the counter and take a number to your table where the staff delivers your food. The place has a Southern home feel, which I really liked. The soup was excellent, creamy but not heavy, with chicken, diced peppers, corn, black beans and lime juice. Really flavorful and delicious. The chicken salad was wonderful with the basil and lemon flavor throughout. You can taste that it was fresh-made. One friend ordered the Classic Carol as a sandwich and the same soup; and my other friend ordered the Fruity Fran with a side of grape salad. They loved their lunch too. My friend with the sandwich said it was too big so the next time, she'll go with a scoop and side. With our meal, everyone is given a complimentary mini buttercream cookie. What a nice touch. All of this for just under $10. A real bargain!!! This place has daily soup specials with two choices each day. I'd like to go back on a Saturday to try their Chicken Artichoke Florentine. My friends and I are happy to know that they are opening a new location in Leland where we live! We won't have to drive the distance once it opens. read more

Got a catering order the other week for a bridal shower and it was a huge hit! We ordered more than enough for our estimated guests and not a single croissant or sandwich was left!

Had lunch at this neat little place in Wilmington today. Very quaint and charming looking establishment that was friendly and inviting. Every staff member had a smile and the food was delicious. I had the Spicy Pimento BLT on wheat and a scoop of their Olivia's Old South Chicken Salad. This was a great combo due to the spice of the pimento and the cooling sweet of the salad. I relished every last bite. It even came with a little cookie I wasn't expecting. Soft and mildly sweet, it was a nice topper after my meal. If you are ever in the Wilmington area I highly suggest a visit to this restaurant. For a nice light lunch, I don't think I could have found a better location. read more

A pretty good concept. The chicken salads are quite good although I found the various options on the menu difficult to figure out. What comes with what? That wasn't clear in reading their current menu. The other thing I did not like was the way the items were served- too much paper. The staff and service was very friendly however. read more

Ok. Back up to 5 stars today!! I had the chicken poblano soup and it was excellent. Really, really good!! I had the chick with the lemon chicken salad and broccoli salad. It was perfect (not runny) and made with love. They included my cookie this time!! That little treat is such a big deal. I really enjoyed this lunch via DoorDash. More people should order this for lunch. read more

Tried this franchise on its grand opening day. It's located across Mayfaire. The restaurant is very spacious, with plenty of tables indoors as well as 3 tables outdoors. It was pretty busy, but I didn't have to wait too long for the food. A staff member immediately greeted me and helped me figure out what to choose from the menu. They have different kinds of chicken salads, categories ranging from traditional, savory, fruity and nutty, and spicy, as well as egg salads, pimento cheese, signature sandwiches (no beef option), and simple green salads. You can order the salads as a scoop or as a sandwich. I ordered "The Chick" ($7.99), which comes with a choice of scoop or sandwich of either chicken or egg salads or pimento cheese plus either a side item or soup or an additional scoop. Side options are: broccoli salad, grape salad, pasta salad, fresh fruit, or mac and cheese. Bread options are either white, wheat berry, or croissant, toasted or untoasted. I chose the traditional Classic Carol chicken salad as a sandwich. The Classic Carol contains finely shredded white chicken, celery, mayonnaise, and their secret seasoning. The sandwich comes with optional lettuce and tomato. The chicken salad was creamy and delicious, the best a basic chicken salad can get. I chose the Mac and cheese for my side. It was your standard Mac and cheese, creamy and cheesy. It was like eating a level above boxed Macaroni and cheese, a comfort meal that brings back memories from when you ate Kraft as a kid. The meal also included a pickle spear and a mini buttercream frosted cookie. The meal was filling-I felt satisfied after eating about half of the sandwich and the Mac and cheese. If you're in a hurry, they have their chicken salads, egg salads, and pimento cheese in to-go containers you can just grab from their refrigerated open case display next to the cashiers. In addition to cookies, they also had chocolate rice krispie treats for dessert. I imagine this will be a popular place for the southern folk in the area and for whoever loves good chicken salad. read more

Great food and even better staff!! So many choices of chicken salad and choices for people who want something else as well!

I have been meaning to come here since this location was opened. I finally had an excuse as I was in the area and had some time to kill. I got the trio so I could try as many chicken salads as possible. I got the classic, bbq, and chicken bacon ranch. I think the bbq was my favorite! But I liked all of them. I love that it comes with crackers. I even used the lettuce for a wrap or two. It is surprisingly filling! read more

Super friendly staff, offered samples and food came out so fast and fresh! Everything was delicious! Highly recommend!

Decided to try this for lunch the other day . It was not terribly busy on that day . Walked in and was unsure about where to order and how it functioned - never been to this restaurant. Found a menu and a friendly staff person arrived to help out with the menu. I decided to try The Chick , a scoop of chicken salad that came with one side. I chose Cranberry Kelli; dried and sweetened cranberries and slivered almonds. For my side I chose the fresh fruit ; strawberries, blueberries, red and white seedless grapes. Took my table number and located a seat ; there are plenty of tables and seating arrangements available. Lunch arrived super quick and looked wonderful. The chicken salad was tasty , it did need more seasoning, for my taste. There was plenty of chicken - all white meat , cranberries and almonds . It came with crackers and a pickle spear which was great and a cookie - that I saved. The fruit was good , some of the grapes were past their prime but the blueberries and strawberries were good. I would venture back and try another combination for lunch . read more

Several different chicken salads w/ sides. I tried 3 salads, no sides. I liked that the chicken was finely chopped. I found the difference between the salads very subtle. I was hoping for more of a variety, it was a unique experience. I've never seen a place of this kind at home in S, Ca, I don't think I would go again, though. read more

Wowza....just FABULOUS....I would give this place 10 stars if I were able!!! If you haven't been to Chicken Salad Chick, my friend, you are MISSING OUT on wonderful food, stellar service and a Top Notch overall dining experience!! And SAMPLES?? Yes, Please!!!!!! I suggest a visit to get the 'Specialty Flavor of the Month,' before they run out. Read on for details!! First, you walk in, and are taken aback by the Southern Charm (yet hipster) vibe, filled with bits of artsy (and beachy) photos- really cool. The decor is quite inviting and includes colors of Celadon, Cream and Black with pops of Red...classy and just lovely. Another note: Everything is sparkly pristine...they DEFINITELY clean very often and throughout the shift. Additionally, the cleanliness and organization of the kitchen is impressive...'day dots' galore, everything marked with expiration dates (dressings, etc). Is is apparent, they are STICKLERS for food safety....well done!- and SO very important during these days and times!!! (You can tell the owners CARE...which is a little rare in some establishments). I digress..... Back to the 'experience': After you 'soak in' your surroundings, you are greeted warmly by one of the sweet staff. The customer service is truly one of the best I have ever experienced as a patron! The gal who helped me was named ?? She patiently waited as I asked for two samples and helped me figure out a combo to make me happy...while kindly chatting and smiling. She truly cares that her customers are happy....it's apparent in her eyes and her smile. That is also sometimes rare in customer service. I appreciate the time that goes into finding folks who are the 'right fit' for this business model. Well played CEO/COO of CSC!! Another 'fun fact' is that the CEO is a mom who started this business from scratch with her (now husband) by testing the chicken salads with neighbors, friends and family....each of the 'chicks' are a Homage to a family member or friend....how cute...and touching!! The story is a bit lengthy, so you can check it out when you visit! The origins of the business are posted on the wall near the 'cold storage/take out' area. That's right folks, they also have larger sizes for you to pop in and grab for a family function, picnic or on the way to the beach- SCORE!! The take out containers are high quality and will travel well...sometimes it's the little things! (**I gripe and roll my eyes every time one of those styrofoam lids cracks the opening and won't stay shut and your food slips out, or at least, smashes all together. Or it may end up in the bottom of that crisper drawer in the fridge...you know what I'm talking about....#ANNOYING!! So for the stars of the show (besides the awesome staff ;)) I chose two scoops on a salad compiled of mixed field greens as well as cucumbers and cherry tomatoes (Pls Note: quite a large portion- and bang for your buck. I packed half of it to take home) I tried three dressings: Ranch ( good) Balsamic Vinaigrette (super good - a bit on the vinegary side- which I LOVE) House Poppyseed (good, but not my 'cup of tea' as it's pretty sweet. It had a bit of an aftertaste I couldn't place, not bad, just puzzling). Note: I bet it would be great with a spicy pepper salad with that super spicy chicken scoop - can't remember the name, I will add later- Now for the 'chicks'.... 1). The Jalapeño Holly: one of my favorites. It has a slow nice burn on the back of the palate....but NOT too spicy. SOOOOO good!!! I would suggest getting a more 'chill' scoop to go alongside, if you're sensitive to spice. 2). Yes, remember what I mentioned at the beginning.....the Special of the month...it is really good, but only if you like dill as I do... Dill-icious Diva!! The addition of crunchy chunks of cucumber is so nice and refreshing... I don't believe you will be disappointed! Bottom line: You should at LEAST come check this place out, and have a couple free samples to chose a CS to take home, but I do believe you should try eating here- and for those with a sweet tooth, each meal comes with an adorable buttercream cookie...they are super good (and I don't really enjoy buttercream icing...). They have larger cookies for sale at the checkout and a DELICIOUS looking Rice Crispy Treat with Chocolate Chips...I got one to take home and will surely mention it next time! I must be honest with you... I legit could write about, talk and take pictures of food all day long, but I gotta' go!!! Thanks Chicken Salad Chick- this made my day and I drove all the way from downtown to come here earlier...so GLAD I did!!!! I wish you a fabulous day and will look forward to my next Chickaganza!! :) read more

I've been to numerous chicken salad chicks and everything has been amazing. I raved about this restaurant to my parents and finally took them to this location. I was really surprised that there wasn't even a full scoop of chicken salad in the croissants-my parents commented on it as well. I don't know if someone messed up (I wish I had taken pictures) but the chicken salad layer was so thin you could see all the bread lol. It was a total waste of money. I was really surprised of how skimpy theses sandwiches were. The service was good--the grape salad was amazing and the pasta salad was over herbed and left a bad taste in our mouths. Will keep going to CSC but to other locations read more

This was my second time picking some lunch up from here. Everything was delicious. Their broccoli salad is so good and fresh. This time I had the jalapeno Holly and Lemon Basil Lauryn. They were both good but I definitely preferred the jalapeno. I don't know how they do it but you get the flavor of the jalapeno without the spice. It was great. The lemon basil was good and fresh. It tasted like a garden. This is a great spot to stop for lunch if you like chicken salad. I've also had the onion lover kind and it was very good too. read more

Awesome spot!!! Delicious & quick service. Shannon is super sweet and provides excellent customer service. Great CSC location!

10/6/21 Wowza!! I had heard about this place (very great things); now I know why!! From the moment you walk in, the decor (bright and welcoming, with nice color scheme), cleanliness as well as the STELLAR Customer Service (Genuine caring greeting), you almost feel like you've walked into a large living room rather than a restaurant... BEST Chicken salad I have ever had besides my Great and other Grandmommas...SUPER tasty!! The amount of choices are a tad overwhelming at first, but you can try a sample before you have to decide?!!! YES PLEASE!!! As one who often struggles to decide on a meal choice when everything looks and sounds good on a menu, this was SUCH A HELP!!! Out of all I tried, the only one I really didn't care for was the Olivia's Old South (included egg and sweet pickles); but that is mainly because I am more of a Dill Pickle Gal! Lucky for me, because you get one of those also with your order (of scoops, at least).... The Lemon Basil Salad was great...love lemon and citrus to brighten up the palate ;). It said there was pecans in this one, but, for me at least, the nuts were undetectable. I mixed the Lemon Basil with the 'Dixie Chick', (which is heavy on onion...LOVE ONION) and the two paired beautifully! The samples I tried were good as well, except for that sweet pickle thing! Buffalo Barclay: Nice, not really as spicy as I thought it may be, but still very good! Classic Carol: Original Recipe...very good: heavier on mayo than the Dixie, I preferred my two choices over this one. Sassy Scottie: Ranch, Bacon and Cheddar Cheese. I liked it, was very good, but a bit too rich for me (I have to take it easy on amount of cheese in my personal diet). The Baked Potato soup was very good, I added sour cream, but probably shouldn't have, as it was pretty rich and cheesy as well. It would be a great one to have on a cold or rainy day while watching Football though! I DID try a sample of the Chicken Tortilla Soup, and that was AMAZING!! I am getting that one the next visit! The last thing I wanted to say about the food, was the Buttercream Frosted cookie. That is a nice way to end this meal...I am really not much about sweets, (wellllll my one vice: dark chocolate things...especially with peppermint!), but this was REALLY good. It did NOT taste like a pre-packaged cookie...more like and elevated 'Tea Soireé ' Treat. I must say and give EXTREME kudos to whoever is behind the Customer Service Training and Standards for this Business Model....I truly was VERY impressed and stayed longer than I would normally stay in a restaurant because the food, service and entire experience was TOP NOTCH!! I was unable to finish my meal...I am officially Chicken Salad Chicked OUT- ha- for now- I will surely be back soon and may even think about having some of their food for catering a home event! Thanks Chicken Salad Chick....WELL DONE!! See you next time! :) read more
