Chicken Salad Chick

So, I LOVE THIS PLACE. I’m a southern girl, so every now and then I get a serious chicken salad craving. My mom doesn’t live in town, so when I want something just as yummy, I go to chicken salad chick! Everything is FRESH and tastes like real fresh food, I love that. The portions are healthy enough to fill you up, and the prices are amazing for what you get. Quality AND quantity. Love the fresh fruit with a scoop of traditional and some crackers. Ugh. I love it all. I just ate it actually. Thank you Chicken Salad Chick!

Oh my goshhh!
Chicken Salad heaven!
All white meat chicken.
The jalapeño holy & Cranberry Kelli is where it’s at!
Perfect for lunch, I’m going back to get the pound.

I never knew chicken salad could be so good! I like to get scoops… my favorites are jalapeño Holly, Jazzy Julie, and Kickin’ Kay Lynne. Love the atmosphere there as well. All around great place to eat.

Love their chicken salad and all of he variety. I like the croissants and getting it by the pound. Favorite is probably Fancy Nancy, but everything I’ve tried is gold.

If you like a small kick you have to try the Kay Lynne. It’s. So good! Prices are comparable to other sandwich places. And the staff is always really nice. I always order ahead and take mine to go. And although the booths are usually free people know this place is good because there’s a line at the register… but it moves quickly.
They have soup daily. Kinda takes the back burner to their concentrated dish of course. Kind of tastes like it’s out of the can. But as I mentioned I come for their chicken salad not the soup.

I’ve been here 2 or 3 times. Each time I have tried a different kind of chicken salad and they have all been very, very bland. Even after trying to doctor it up myself with a little pepper and salt it was still pretty flavorless. I was extremely disappointed because I LOVE chicken salad but there are many other places around Charlotte that offer a much better tasting one. The chicken tortilla soup and potato soup tasted better than the chicken salad! Also, the last time I went I ordered the grape salad as a side and found a plastic wrapper in it.

Cute place and lots of options. Staff was nice and helpful. It was my first time going and they let me sample some chicken salad. I got the trio. They were all good. Large scoops. I actually had leftovers. My favorite is the Dixie chick. I think that’s what the name of it was but it had lots of onions and it was so flavorful!

I’m picky when it comes to chicken salad as I don’t care for big chunks of celery or onion, did not need to worry this was perfect for me. I love all the different options and that they let you sample before ordering. I’ll be back

I didn’t know about Chicken Salad Chick and happened to see it while visiting the Fresh Market next door. So, I dropped in to give it a try! First, the counter staff was very friendly and helpful! There are so many different options on their menu for chicken salad with various seasonings and flavors! (Personally, I’m perplexed with some of the reviews here that focus on recipe for a particular type chicken salad! For heaven’s sake, they only have 15 different salads! If you picked one that was bland, you shoulda’ tried it first and picked another!) They offer free samples to make sure you get the recipe that’s right for you! I settled on the Chick Trio so that I could enjoy several. I personally selected Barbie-​Q, Olivia’s Old South, and Jalapeño Holly. All were very good and I would order them again. My favorite (so far, having only tried 3!) was the Jalapeño Holly — perfect balance of jalapeño; not overpowering.
Now, the price per pound is a little high compared to chicken salad you get in other places. But, BUT, you’re in a restaurant where you can pick and choose from lots of recipes to get that salad that you desire most! I like that! AND, frankly, I pay more when I order chicken salad on a sandwich anywhere else, or but it by the scoop from the nearby deli! So, I’m fine with their prices given the selection and the quality.
I’ll be back!

Good chicken salad plates, sometimes they forget the cookie and you have to remind them, but the food has always been good. Love the broccoli salad!

I love chicken salad. But this was just «ok.»
Francy Nancy with apples, pecans and seedless grapes on a croissant.
They blend the chicken salad so it’s like a spread. I prefer chunk (or whole) chicken salad.
It seems they just mass blend it and then insert whatever the specialty flavor is in. The grapes, apples and nuts were not blended.
They give you a fair amount. Flavor is bland. Not exciting. Didn’t wow me.
The cookie was a lemon cookie and from a pre-​made square. Wish they could at least make those inhouse since every meal gets one.
I might return but I won’t go out of my way. I prefer Panera Chicken Salad sandwich over this.

We went here on a whim. I was impressed with the selection. I got Dixie chick, which was very similar to my family’s homemade recipe. The chocolate chip cookies are delicious too! The nutrition content of the food is great, considering the portion size.

It took me a while to finally try Chicken Salad Chick because Chicken Salad isn’t something I typically gravitate towards. But I decided to give them a try one day. I love that their menu tells you every single thing that comes in each Chicken Salad and there is a wide variety to choose from. I’m not a fan of nuts & fruit in any of my food so I stick to the Classics. This includes the Classic Carol, Dixie Chick and Olivia’s Old South (My Fav). But I also enjoyed Barbie-​Q surprisingly. They also let you try a sample to help you decide. I always get mine with a crossant with lettuce, but they have crackers as well. As for sides, I love the Broccoli Salad and their soups are always delicious! The staff is always very nice and helpful. Really no complaints, I love this place now.

I wasn’t impressed. I got the «carol» on a croissant. The chicken salad was very plain and flavorless. The best part of the meal was the croissant.
The soup of the day was broccoli cheddar which was not good at all. It tasted old.
The establishment is decorated nicely, very modern chic and very clean!

Charming little spot and they have a location in uptown. The traditional southern styles sell out in uptown around lunch (Olivia’s) so go early.

I’ve been here many times & have enjoyed the food. Today I decided to branch out & get the Cajun roast beef. Unfortunately, there was nothing Cajun about it. I had to add salt & pepper after I scraped off the excessive mayo. I will stick to my regular «Classic Carol» next time! Can’t go wrong w/​that! Sides are generously portioned & quite tasty!

Yum. Yum. Yum.
I’ve craved lunch here every single day since my visit. And you know, I’ve never considered myself a chicken salad fan. Until now! I ordered with Sassy Scotty with ranch, bacon and cheddar. So awesome. I’ve been googling my fingers off trying to find a copycat recipe. The grape «salad» is a wonderfully sweet dessert disguised as a salad.
Portions are large. The price was fair. The interior is clean and attractive. The service was fast. What’s not to love?
And it gets better! You get a free cookie with your meal:)

Surprisingly really loved this place. I am not a person who generally likes things in their chicken salad but I really wanted to check this place out. I got the trio sampler with Luau Lydia (pineapple and macadamia nuts), Cranberry Kelli (cranberry and almonds) and Mimi’s mix (apples and cashews). They were all very good but the Cranberry Kelli was my favorite.
The one and only reason for 4 stars versus 5 stars is they do NOT put enough fruit in their chicken salad. We got maybe 3 pieces of fruit per scoop. Enough to let you know that if they put a proper amt in their it would be amazing! There is a lack of balance between nuts, fruit, and chicken salad. if they got that straightened out I would 100% give them 5 stars!

1^st time here and was very impressed. I got the Chick Trio, which is a great value. I ordered the Buffalo Barclay and the Fancy Nancy salads and the grape salad. My husband ordered the Kicking Kay Lynne on sourdough with a pasta salad.
Chick Trio– great value! You get a decent scoop of salad. Only give you 6 crackers, but I feel if I asked for more they would have no problem. I found there was a slightly lack of seasoning in both. Not a lot of Buffalo flavor and lacking some salt and pepper in the fancy Nancy. Overall good. Since hubby and I both got buffalo we asked for some buffalo sauce and they brought us some extra sauce on the side. The sauce is awesome! Wish they would have added more of it to the salad, but very easy to just add to whatever you are eating. The grape salad is amazing and I very much wanted to lick the cup when I was done.
Sandwich– Sourdough bread was wonderful, soft fluffy perfect. Once again once the Buffalo sauce was added it was a perfect sandwich. Pasta salad was very flavorful and very good.
Portion sizes are great for the price. Service was very quick and responsive. Overall great place and will be back.

Last weekend we did our go to Flip’n Chicken and noticed Chicken Salad Chick in the same shopping center. We wanted to stop by on Sunday to check it out, but they were closed.
Today we stopped by to get some to go. We stopped by around 11:30 and had no issues getting the flavors we wanted, and a short wait.
Kevin and I both ordered the three sampler, which is surprisingly a lot of chicken salad, we will likely make three or so meals out of it! Which is a great deal for $ 8.95.
Now onto the Chicken Salad:
Buffalo Barclay — very mild but great flavor
Barbie-​Q — slight smokey flavor, good, but not our favorite.
Olivia’s old south (traditional with egg and pickles) — I liked the traditional flavor, bit still not the favorite
Kickin Kay Lynne (buffalo, ranch, bacon, cheese, and jalapenos) — you would think this is a spicy one, but it was also very mild to me. I didn’t taste the bacon or jalapenos so much, it had a similar flavor to the buffalo one. It had great flavor, probably one of our favorites (good thing we got two scoops of this one!)
Pimento cheese — eh, stick to chicken salad. It was just okay, almost too thick and lacks any kick (I guess you can’t be surprised if the buffalo has no kick)
Overall, great place to get different flavored chicken salad at a good value. We will be back!
