Chicken Salad Chick

The employee who helped me(Eden) was absolutely so lovely. I love this location, the food is amazing and it’s very clean in and out. I recommend getting the sassy scotty, jalapeño jolly, or even the kicker kay lynne. it’s always make sure to get a sandwich because those croissants are so good.

I was headed next door to Mission BBQ when I had a thought: why not try something new? I'm SO glad I did. Though the restaurant’s theme caters to a specific audience that I didn't quite fit into (which is probably why I attracted some curious looks as I walked in), I put my ego aside and approached the counter. At this quick-service restaurant, I was warmly welcomed to Chicken Salad Chick. I ordered the BLT sandwich with the Kickin' Kay Lynne chicken salad on toasted wheat bread, along with a cup of chicken tortilla soup. I believe all their chicken salads are mayo-based and prepared traditionally (with mayo, veggies, shredded chicken, etc.) into a spreadable form. It was delicious and appropriately portioned. The plate was well-presented (see pic), and it included a dill pickle spear an

This southern jewel started in Auburn, AL and has made its way to the New River Valley. Fresh food, not too heavy, and full of flavor. The decor and seating is conducive to good conversation and the Strawberry Lemonade is fantastic. I took one star away because I want a larger helping of chicken salad…all varieties! I returned that fifth star because all meals come with a dill pickle…and that is worth 5 stars all by itself!!!! #dillpicklesarebest

Nice interior, clean restaurant space. Would’ve liked a little bit more chicken salad on my sandwich, but for $11 it’s competitive (and healthier!) than most fast-casual alternatives. Croissant should’ve been toasted a little more as it was a bit on the mushy side—a byproduct of the wet texture of the chicken salad. Mac was OK. Not too wet; nice texture.

This was our first visit to a Chicken Salad Chick, but it won’t be the last! My husband and I visited as an afternoon date stop after grocery shopping (so we were hungry!). We enjoyed our meal, felt full, and walked away content. Most places that fill you up leave us feeling bloated, but this was just right! Bonus points to the employees! They heard us say I have an allergy. Not only did they prepare our food safely, but one of the ladies wiped down the table we were headed to so to ensure we wouldn’t have any contact allergic reactions. I know that took all of 60 seconds, but it left a lasting impression on us!
