Jalapeño chicken sandwich and the basil almond sandwich. Both were delicious. Will definitely come back. Friendly staff and clean place.

If I could eat here everyday I would. By far my favorite lunch spot. So so yum. Staff is so friendly and they are so quick. Has yet to ever let me down. :) read more

If you like chicken salad you'll love this place. Actually, if you like any non-salad salad varietals such as egg or tuna, you'll love this place. Apparently chopped up mayonnaised "salads" are what this place does best. I opted for the curry chicken salad, and it was delightful. I had it served as a sandwich, which was a seriously impressive portion on perfectly fluffy fresh white bread. The lettuce was crispy and the tomatoes were some of the best I've had during the winter tomato doldrums. If you're dining in, you'll likely have to wait for a table and this place is pretty crammed. Service is quick and efficient, but I wouldn't go as far as to say friendly. You can also get your mayonnaised salad served atop a real salad, with fresh greens and a vinaigrette. It's a lot of salad, and then either dish comes with a little puff pastry type thing for a little sweet treat. And yes, writing this review made me view the word "salad" in a really weird way. It just looks silly now. Salad. Heh. read more

Great lunch spot. Love the curry chicken salad platter and ginger dressing. Easy to grab something to go as well as sit inside! My favorite location is in Vinings but the hidden location in east Cobb is nice, too! read more

I had eaten at Cafe on Pharr's little (actually bigger) sister Cafe Pharr Out several times, but now that I work in the Buckhead area, it was time to check out the original. Though the strip mall in which it resides is a bit run down, the space itself is clean, if nondescript. I chose to order 'to-go' so that I could sit outside and enjoy the sunny afternoon. I had a ham and american on wheat. The bread was fresh and light and there was a good amount of honey ham. The red grapes were a nice accompaniment, along with my bag of Stacy's Pita chips. The eating experience was almost identical to my memories of Cafe Pharr Out, right down to the anticipation of finishing my sandy so I could eat the cream cheese filled pastry that comes with your meal. Yes, Cafe on Pharr, you have made my list of Buckhead Lunch Spots read more

Well, since this has become one of my DUCHIES, I suppose I ought to update my review. Apparently I've got a fever, and the only prescription is Walnut Chicken Salad. And those little friggin yogurt roll thingies. Those lil guys are the bomb. And really, $9 is kind of a lot, but it's not *that* much more than other places - after all it's Buckhead. And the tuna salad and the egg and potato salads are good, so I have reason to suspect of pattern of general GOODNESS where the food is concerned. And it all feels healthy, which is a requirement for me in a lunch. And the sandwiches are only $7 and still a good size. And you can even get your sammie on a croissant! Yum! So, I'm obviously a fan, so I should quit pretending that I don't occassionally think it's worth spending $9 on chicken salad, because it obviously is. It's always really clean inside, the staff is superfriendly, and their takeout operation is amazingly fast and efficient. Plus, they sell their salads and their really delicious ginger dressing so you can recreate the magic at home. So why be so stingy? Four Stars for my faithful duchy! read more

It's easy to drive by this divine dining spot, which is hidden in a small strip center on Pharr Road. But now that you know it exists, you should stop and go in. You'll thank me later. Cafe at Pharr is best known for its chicken salad selections. Three different kinds -- cranberries with walnuts, traditional celery, or curry chicken salad -- are served via a sandwich or a salad. My vote is for the salad that comes with savory ginger vinaigrette on the side, plus fresh grapes, carrots, simple greens and tomatoes. Freshly-baked bread and yogurt rolls also accompany the dish. Mmmm ... bread. The dining area is small, so be prepared for a wait if dining in. They offer take-out and catering, as well. Although considered to be the ultimate in a ladies' luncheon destination, men constantly scurry in for take-out or occasionally wait for a table. Two very happy thumbs up. read more

Although the Cafe at Pharr's original location is in Buckhead off of Pharr Road, they have expanded to two other locations and are opening up a fourth location in the next couple month in Brookhaven. I went a bit prior to noon to avoid the lunch rush as the Cafe at Pharr only has a bout 16 tables inside, although most choose to get their lunch orders to go. And by the time I was leaving, almost every table was occupied. And parking is even tighter. I guess there are about 7 or 8 stores in the strip mall and not enough parking spots, so if you visit during the lunch rush, you may have to park on a side street and walk over, but there seemed to still be plenty of street parking available. I met owner, Johnny (see pic above), a short while after walking inside. This guy is bursting with energy and so proud of his establishment. Opening their doors in 1993, I think they were ahead of the curve a bit. You see, Cafe at Pharr serves pretty healthy and fresh food, not exactly in vogue back in the early 90s. They even make their bread fresh EVERY day! Johnny made me up a sampler of their chicken salads (all white meat) which are the most popular entrees. I tried the traditional, curried and walnut. My favorite was the curried (what can I say, it's the Indian in me) but the others are quite tasty too. And while they are very flavorful, they are not chock full of mayonnaise. You can get them all in the form of a salad or sandwich. I tried both and don't have a preference for one of the other. I do love the croissants at Cafe at Pharr but the salads are so fresh and that asian dressing is quite addictive. The prices are reasonable considering that everything is made of scratch and fits the clientele - mostly local office workers and Buckhead Betty's that do lunch. Sandwiches are around $7 and salads are around $9. If it is meat you crave, don't fret. The Cafe at Pharr also offers smoked turkey, ham and roast beef sandwiches. But the chicken salads are their signature item. I also love that Cafe at Pharr also gives you their signature yogurt rolls as a small dessert after your lunch. If you haven't checked out Cafe at Pharr yet, give them a try. Staff is super friendly, and you won't leave feeling like you are about to pop. read more

Cafe At Pharr is the perfect Buckhead spot for a casual, healthy and delicious lunch. Easy to get to, parking available, and a simple menu. I love both the regular and curry chicken salad, and they are delicious as sandwiches or on top of a fresh green salad. The salad dressing is also delish - mustardy and sweet at the same time. It can get crowded at lunch time, in which case you can get your order to go. Perfect! read more

"Crack Salad" is what we call it, because it's addictive as hell. OK, I know it probably looks strange that people keep going on and on about the chicken salad. And honestly, I never used to be THAT into chicken salad. But these guys somehow figured out how to make chicken salad yummy. Really yummy. I can have it weekly and never get tired of it. Yep, it's good. Once again, it's another business that KEEPS IT SIMPLE. Their menu isn't huge, and the few things they make, they make very well, and very consistently. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE - it is a staple in my life. My boyfriend and I come to lunch here probably once a week. It is delicious, quick, cheap and great service. Our water glass has never been empty, the food is out in 5 minutes, and always delicious. He gets the hot chicken curry plate, I get either the chicken salad sandwich or chicken salad salad. If you get the sandwich- get the multi-grain bread. SO GOOD The salad dressing is also delicious. I love this place, and highly recommend. read more

Great little place in the heart of Bhead. Terrific for a quick lunch or to go order. I had the chicken salad on a bed of lettuce. One of the best chicken salads I have had. Not tons of mayo, not sure they make it with mayo. Delicious asian salad dressing!! I tasted the yogurt roll....outstanding. Nice little extra with your order. Quick service. Friendly people. Very convenient, park in front or walk over. Sat outside, it was very warm inside. read more

A quick, convenient place to pop in and get a relatively healthy lunch. The seating is pretty limited and a little cramped, so I would recommend take out. The food has always been good and fresh, and I think the grapes and yogurt rolls are a unique dessert combination that gives you just a hint of pleasant sweetness after the meal. The dishes are pretty simple, but good. As others have mentioned, their famous dishes are the salads - the mayonnaise kind, not the leafy green kind. The walnut chicken salad is good but I like the shrimp salad because it's very light, just salt, pepper and a touch of mayonnaise dressing. You can either have your food served as a sandwich or a salad, neither of which is particularly exciting. Their famous ginger dressing is very good but the salads themselves are kinda boring. Just some greens and shredded carrots, really. In a similar vein, the sandwiches are just lettuce and tomato plus your non-leafy salad choice. If you do order a sandwich, their chicken and shrimp salads taste delicious on a croissant, as long as you're willing to brave the extra calories. read more

This cafe was recommended by a friend from Atlanta, and the food was very, very good. I had the walnut chicken salad plate, which comes with a side salad. Everyone raves about the walnut chicken salad, which was very good, but the salad dressing was my absolute favorite part. It is a yummy ginger dressing (some sort of viniagrette) that was just to die for! This place is super yummy for lunch in ATL. Highly recommend! read more

At some point while inhaling my curry chicken salad plate at lunch today, I looked around the cramped dining room and noticed that every single customer in there was 1) a woman and 2)blonde (myself included). Customer observations aside, this was a tasty little lunch. Their chicken salads are of the shredded variety, and we were pleased with both the walnut and the curry options. The salad plate was generous and very fresh, and that mustard vinaigrette is delicious. We were surprised that the multigrain bread was still pretty white in color and more of a honeywheat flavor. If you're coming to make a take-out order, order at the counter, otherwise shimmy your way through the crowded space to grab a table. Service was excellent and prompt. If I worked in the area, I would make this a go-to lunch spot. Since I don't, I'll keep this place in mind when I need some sustenance while running errands nearby. read more

My husband and I stopped in for a late lunch because we were in the area. The menu looked good and I had the spinach salad and he got the famous walnut chicken salad sandwich. The salad was good, but the menu said it had goat cheese and mine had none. The chicken salad was less than satisfying. It did not have any chunks of chicken and was just very smooth and we could have gotten better at many other places. The little sweet rolls are weird. It is like a cold half crescent roll stuffed with some whipped cream. I just don't get it. We might go back if in the area, but overall just meh. read more

This is my favorite sandwich / salad lunch in Buckhead. Small place with about 10 tables inside and 5 or 6 outside. Parking can be challenging in this small shopping complex. read more

I live overseas. Just arrived in atlanta craving the celery chicken salad. What happened to the recipe? No celery and way too much Mayo. I'm so sad. This WAS the best chicken salad in the world. No longer! Someone changed the recipe, sadly read more

A classic Atlanta lunch spot that is always spot on. The chicken salad the got to, but the menu has a variety of different options. read more

Cafe At Pharr - Salad Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Cafe at Pharr is my go to lunch option when I am out shopping or running errands on the weekend in Buckhead. It's the perfect light lunch(especially when it's hot outside). I usually order the salad plate with the walnut chicken salad. It's more of a shredded chicken salad than a chunky one, and it goes perfect on top of some lettuce. I love the sliced tomatoes and carrots matched with their delicious ginger dressing. This is definitely a mixing type of plate because all of the ingredients mesh so well together. It even includes 2 little slices of sourdough bread. And, last but very not leastm each meal comes with some yogurt rolls, I'm not sure exactly what they are, but they are a delicious way to end the meal. The sourdough bread sandwich is also a delicious option, if you want a something a little more than a salad, however I recommend the salad for the ginger dressing. The restaurant is set up for take-away or dine in(with a server). The atmosphere is like a typical cafe, nothing too special. If you're out and about and need a quick bite to eat, Cafe at Pharr is a phantastic option! read more

I love this place. I only go with my mom but we both get the chicken salad plate. They serve it on lettuce with a yummy ginger vinaigrette. It's light and slightly sweet with a tangy kick. It's not too heavy and tastes fresh. Thats not the Only reason we eat here. All honestly, we come for the small sliver of a puff pastry they give you with each plate. It tastes like sweet air. read more

I ordered the Ahi Tuna Salad from the To-Go menu today and was very disappointed. I specified that I wanted my tuna on the rarer side...however, it was probably the most cooked Ahi Tuna I've had yet. The tuna is the center piece of the salad and yet it was overcooked and dry. And $15 to boot! I will potentially try out the restaurant again to see how it is in a sit down setting, but as to this experience.. it was very negative. However, on a brighter note, the yogurt rolls that come with your meal are delicious. I am very curious what type of "yogurt" is used as it was exceptionally creamy. read more

Its a decent lunch spot butI certainly wouldnt go crazy about the chicken salad. They have limited menu options but if you know you definitely want a chicken salad sandwich or you are on a diet, go here. You dont get a whole lot for $9...a scoop of chicken salad some lettuce with shredded carrots, and some grapes. The yogurt pastry you get is a nice little bonus. Very healthy meal, but after spending $25 or so on lunch we were still hungry 2 hours later. They were very friendly and you cant beat how fast the service was. read more

If you are looking for a VERY fast and very delicious lunch, come down to Cafe at Pharr! They have a scrumptious selection of well-priced soups, salads, and two rice dishes (my fave!) that are healthy and quite filling. The service is impressive - I probably come here at least twice a month and every time my food comes out in about 5 mins. Make sure that you ask for yogurt rolls! They are a small, but amazing dessert! read more

Stopped by for some lunch while shopping. Great club sandwich with lots of filling. It was a tasty thick sandwich! Really nice and happy staff. Definitely try it out read more

This is by far one of my favorite go to lunch destinations in Atlanta! I ate here when I lived in Buckhead every other day. The Walnut Chicken salad is my go to each and every time and the Ginger dressing is a MUST! Now that I work down the street, I manage to get to this place every Friday! Locations are popping up everywhere so they're definitely doing something right. As long as y'all keep that Walnut Chicken Salad with that amazing ginger dressing on the menu, I'll be back again and again! :) read more

The best service ever I'll definitely be back soon for more yogurt rolls. I love this place

Nice service and accommodating to some of our requests in changing some toppings in the menu. Ive just had the crab cake eggs Benedict, which was very good compared to many other brunch places in Atlanta. Many of the fancier eggs benedicts ive had elsewhere more of less come apart and I feel like im eating a random assortment of bread, eggs, and topping. The one here had a great proportion of all the components and came really well together. One thing I would complain is about the cleanliness of this establishment. We were eating outside, but a few tables/chairs had food/trash around them... I get that its on the sidewalk... but these indirect considerations may speak more about a restaurant's conditions than anything else. Nonetheless, I would still recommend the place. Not a must go or anything, but if you are near the area for lunch/brunch, its nice. read more

Will never eat here again. The walnut chicken salad sandwich was tasteless. Saddest excuse for a chicken salad sandwich I have ever been served. The thin amount of chicken salad didn't even cover all of the bread and the chicken salad was flat, almost like a burger patty. The worst part was, there was absolutely no flavor. I might as well have eaten two pieces of bread and saved $9. read more

This place was delicious. Super fresh food that came out super fast. Pleasant and calm atmosphere especially for in the middle of a busy day. Quick service, pleasant staff, would recommend and will be back! read more

We were house hunting and needed to grab a quick bite, our realtor picked this place and it was just ok. We told the cashier that we needed a second to look at the menu and they seemed annoyed. There were no other customers, so I am not sure why we got the attitude. I had the tuna sandwich, very dry, would not order again. My husband had the egg and potato salad sandwich and it was really good. Our realtor really likes this place, but I would not pick this place with other options in the area. read more

The best curried chicken salad! I just discovered this gem through a recommendation and it will be my new go-to source for lunch. They make their chicken salads with just a touch of mayo, only enough to hold the chicken together. That's the way I like it (I'm not of fan of tons of mayo). I had it delivered through Uber Eats so everything was packaged neatly. The chicken salad was in a separate container, as was dressing. Tomatoes in salad were ripe and juicy (which is rare) and salad greens were crisp and fresh. read more

Cafe at Pharr provides a welcome escape from a busy work day. The restaurant is clean and attractive and the sandwiches are tasty. I am a big fan of the tuna salad sandwich on wheat, along with the fresh grapes and yogurt roll that come on the plate. The waitstaff could not be nicer or more professional. read more

The best Chicken salad in Atlanta! They have 3 different flavors, and the Walnut Chicken hands down my favorite. The parking lot is a little crowded because it is so popular so I definitely recommend walking for lunch time if you are in the Buckhead area. read more

I recently started working close to this cafe so while looking for a lunch spot this one had among the highest ratings. When I went there the cafe had an outdoor patio and was full with other people on lunch dates and people grabbing quick work lunches.. honestly, I expected it to be a bit better, I got the curry chicken salad for $9 something and to my surprise it was beyond basic. Don't get me wrong the curried chicken itself was really good, but the salad was lettuce and carrots... to the side I had a scoop of the chicken, a few grapes, a piece of bread, and this whipped cream dessert wrapped in some kind of dough. I was really disappointed at the salad, I thought the chicken would be tossed in mixed with the dressing and all.. I ate it all despite the fact that it bothered me, but it really could have been much better. read more

Ok I love this place. Being an Emory student, I am always on the lookout for healthier options. Cafe at Pharr never disappoints- with perfect portioned sizes, their lettuce and chicken is always fresh- their salads are my fav! Good and fast customer service- I do take-out a lot. Always consistent, I know my meal will be good. read more

Best chicken salad in town! Traditional, walnut and curry are all excellent but walnut is my favorite. Loads of chicken. The chicken salad salad is my fav. Big scoop of chicken salad on fresh greens, carrots, grapes and tomatoes. Simple and delicious. If you are a bread eater, comes with a yogurt roll and bread slices.. read more

The food here is really good. Not the largest portions, but if you eat everything on the plate it's filling even for a big guy. I like the walnut chicken salad best, but all 3 kinds are great. The service is always quick and friendly, and the restaurant is always clean. This is definitely a place to go out of your way for if you've never been. read more

I really, really enjoy this place. I stopped by on the recommendation of a friend. I got two walnut chicken salad plates to-go. No, they both weren't for me. In addition to the salad you also get two slices of baguette, grapes, and yogurt rolls. This was truly one of the best salad options I have eaten. Everything was fresh, tasty, and the baguette and yogurt rolls were the perfect addition. The portions are pretty large, as well. Yay Cafe Pharr! read more

I could get better chicken salad at Kroger. It was ground up chicken and it was dry. Maybe it used to be good, but it wasn't today.
