Chicken Salad Chick is consistently always no matter which location you choose. The staff here are friendly and do a great job. It was a beautiful day, so we dined outside. I love the Fancy Nancy Chicken Salad. The apples, pecans and grapes give it sweetness and texture. The grape salad is a southern favorite and is so good! I ordered the Fancy Nancy on a croissant with grape salad. It's served with a pickle all for $9.19 plus added chips for $2. If you haven't tried Chicken Salad Chick, you need to! This location is convenient to many shops and businesses. It's a great place to dine alone or meet friends and family! read more

Apparently, they had a BOGO the day before and very limited offerings and no crackers. Quality of chicken salad was marginal at best, not sure I'll give them another shot. read more

Slow the food wasn't prepared their signature Fancy Nancy plus the pimento cheese didn't even get crackers with it. Other then that it's a Chicken Salad Chick. Give me Ms. Stratton's any day over this. The place was empty with a few that came for to go orders. Save your time and money. Panera next door has better chicken salad. read more

Jalapeno Holly and grape salad are the only things I eat here. I've tried their egg salad (I wasn't a fan). The pimento cheese is decent. The other chicken salad flavors I have tried seem to have an overload of salt for me. This could have just been on the day I tried them. Staff is friendly, but lacks a sense of urgency. read more

Went in for Sassy Scotty and they were out. They were also out of 5 other kinds of chicken salad. There didn't seem to have a manager there or anyone over 23. It was busy and took 15 minutes to get my order. read more

My family and I love chicken salad chick but this particular location is a must sit outside spot. The smell inside is consistently awful and smells like a sewage leak. None of the other restaurants next to it smell so it's an issue with just CSC. Really hope they can figure it out but it's been smelling bad for over a year. It's definitely kept us from visiting multiple times because we don't want to endure the smell. We'll even drive to the Hoover location if we're really craving chicken salad. read more

Food was amazing. I can't even say staff is so fast and good. The place is spotless. I really just am in disbelief.

We walked in and the smell of a septic tank or something similar was so intense that we could not stay to order. This is not the first occurrence of this issue. Not sure we can continue to go back and don't really want to know what the smell is from either. With this smell we were not able to experience the service or the food either. What else to you want. I think a funky smell is enough that is should be posted. No one seems concerned about this smell affecting the business of serving food as they do not seem to be taking care of the problem so people can experience their food. read more

It had the best Spicey pimento cheese. It has flavor with a little of a kick. The chicken salad is amazing. The original is my Fav.

I absolutely love all but one of these salads. Buffalo. But I don't care for buffalo flavored anything. Had a croissant with Jalapeño Holly last night and it was delicious as always. Four stars because the amount of bread was way too much for the amount of chicken salad. My fault, I should have known. I usually just get a scoop with crackers. Lesson learned. Grape salad spot on. Will be back soon. read more

This was the worst chicken salad chick I have ever been to.... This is my favorite place to eat and this one was terrible. Customer service HORRIBLE I would have fired the girl taking our order. Inside smelled disgusting. Nobody was friendly. Their drink machine was down and she scooped the ice right in front of us. I WILL NEVER BE BACK her name was Rhiannon read more

Chicken Salad Chick - DON'T EAT HERE - Southern Near Me - Hoover, Alabama

I recently moved to the area and was excited to learn there was a chicken salad chick so close by. I went inside for lunch earlier this week and was immediately taken back by the terrible smell that hit me as soon as I walked into the building. It was such a pungent odor I ended up getting my food to go. I also noticed the cabinets sitting under the drink fountain looked very dirty and probably have not been cleaned in a long time. I don't think I'll be eating at this location again any time soon. read more

Stopped here for lunch this week . I was there just before noon. Location was out of grape salad. Out of a signature side item at opening time? How does that happen? I went elsewhere for lunch. Management needs to get this fixed. How many other customers were list that day? read more

P...Bread, you've got some competition! Okay, maybe not in terms of options, but quality of national chain vs. local chain, CSC is the REAL! As we entered, I quickly noticed the cool décor with color, creativity, and an attentive staff ready to take your order. By the way, I love their story of success and it further justifies my support. More than 8 options of chicken salad, a few salads, and a couple of soups which change often...not to mention the combos of one or the other...you know it's good when they're a storefront down from P. Bread! Get it now: The Chick, w/ Jalapeno Holly on wheat w/ a side of broccoli soup. Jalapenos galore, but comfortably so... flavorful spice in a velvety smooth texture of chicken salad. Get it toasted...they do so well. By the way, throw in a pickle spear and a few cracker packets for free...yes you read it right! With an app, point options, and updates on soups of the day I feel like the Terminator...I'll be back! read more

Flood is 5 star, but slow service is ridiculous. Multiple customer left the line after assessing the situation. One very slow cashier. 2nd register sitting for lunch crowd. I hope they can fix this. read more

I've been watching these places pop up throughout Bham and wanted to check it out. Today I got my chance. If you enjoy chicken salad, look no further. Multiple options are characterized as traditional, savory, fruity, nutty, and spicy. A fan of spice, I decided to try the Kickin Kay Lynne and Buffalo Barclay...Both are fabulous and not too spicy. I ordered The Chick with a scoop (as opposed to a side) which gave me two scoops, crackers, and a cute little buttercream frosted cookie. After seeing some of the sandwiches, I might go that route next time, because they looked delicious. I was pleased with the quality of the chicken (no weird chewy pieces, just a nice smooth texture). They also offer a nice selection of pimento cheese, signature sandwiches, and salads. If you'd rather couple your scoop or sandwich with a side, the broccoli salad looked fantastic. The portions are generous. I only ate half of my meal, so I essentially have another scoop to enjoy later. It is a bustling spot around lunch, but they are efficient, so the wait wasn't long. They also have a great selection of tables outside (shared with two neighboring restaurants), so it's a nice place to eat outdoors. read more

I'm a huge CSC fan!! It's always so quick, easy and yummy. They have so many chicken salad options to choose from so you won't have trouble finding the right kind for everyone. My personal favorite is the Fruity Fran! It had grapes and apples mixed into it. I always get one scoop of the Fruity Fran, with Mac & Cheese as my side and an extra pickle! Because one pickle spear is obviously not enough. Give it a try! Great for lunch. read more

Decent sized place and a welcoming atmosphere. The staff is friendly. They have several different chicken salad varieties and I have tried most. The Dixie chick is great but you won't enjoy it if you don't like onion. If you do, you're golden. The lemon basil is good but I think it belongs on a croissant too tone it down on the flavor. A little too much by itself. The old south with pickles an egg is delicious as well. I've had the buffalo kind and I really couldn't taste the buffalo kick much. Needs improvement. The BBQ is just not appetizing at all. Too much inconsistency with their creativity . Everyone raves about their grape salad but I really like the broccoli salad. With that said, I got a to go order and when I got back to the office the broccoli salad had a minute about of dressing almost like it was an after thought. It didn't coat the broccoli at all. They need to work on consistency. My sandwich was good though. Their menu is not extensive and they have good choices but for a place that specializes in chicken salad they need to go back to the drawing board on a few. Maybe I will try some different things when I go back and see if my opinion changes along with the rating. read more

One of these opened close to my home recently, but I was by this location so I decided to give it a shot. The interior was nice. Light and airy and very clean. I was able to walk right up to the counter. I think the girl who took my order was new because another employee was helping her, but she did a great job. Since I've never been there, I decided to get the plate that allows you to choose three 'flavors.' I decided to go with the Classic Carol, the Buffalo Barclay and the Kickin Kay Lynne. The scoops were a good size and it was brought out to me almost immediately. The salads were... underwhelming really. They were okay for chicken salad, but all three tasted almost the same. Admittedly, two of the salads I got had buffalo sauce, but I could barely even taste that. I gave it three stars because the service was good, the salad was good (if not varied in taste) and it was a pretty good value. I'll probably go back and try more flavors to see if I can find something that really stands out. If you're a chicken salad lover, it's definitely worth giving the place a shot. read more

I chose to dine in at Chicken Salad Chick. The wait for my food was a reasonable time and all of the workers were kind. I ordered the Lauren's Lemon Basil on a croissant and it was amazing. In my opinion, they have the best chicken salad in the area. They did appear to be short staff but most places are at the moment. Overall, I would recommend Chicken Salad Chick to others and I will be returning soon. read more

I love visiting this location. The staff is always very friendly and patient with the large orders I place for myself and my coworkers. The store is also very clean considering the amount of people that are coming in and out. My favorite chicken salad is the Buffalo Barclay. It always helps me satisfy my constant craving for buffalo chicken dip. read more

Great new Dijon tarragon flavor or any of the old ones. You can't go wrong here. Join the rewards programs earn free food. Lighter option than most other restaurants and great summer place to cool off with great food. read more

Stopped in yesterday for a to-go order and literally got the royal treatment! The general manager took extra care of me, giving me a complimentary scoop of my favorite, "Fruity Fran," with my order. She also gave me tasting samples of ALL the chicken salad offered at Chicken Salad Chick, plus a taste of their egg salad!! I never even knew you could do that! Needless to say, they were all delicious, as was my meal. Do yourself a favor if you like chicken salad, head on over and try some. You won't be disappointed! read more

Love it!! My fave is Jalepeno Holly! Also-the grape salad is SO GOOD! It's pricey for a quick lunch but so much better than a drive thru!

I'm a big fan of Chicken Salad Chick. Every choice I've made has been a good one. Chicken salad has a great texture and has a high quality taste. Restaurant was nice and clean. Service was excellent. read more

DoorDash screwed my order up two different times in one day but the manager went above and beyond to make it right. These kind of things don't go unnoticed. After all the frustration the food was very tasty! I always enjoy Chicken Salad chick! read more

I stopped by here the other day to have lunch with a couple of friends. I've been to Chicken Salad Chick before and have always lovedddd the food. The staff was great and the restaurant was clean. BUT I was so disappointed in the food. The chicken salad just had no flavor. It was so bland I didn't even finish eating it and just filled up on my sides instead. I mean, the main appeal of a restaurant named "chicken salad chick" is the chicken salad so I was super disappointed when it was so flavorless I couldn't even finish eating it. I'll probably give them another shot. Hoping it was an off day because this location is so convenient for me. read more

I dropped in to Chicken Salad Chick for a quick lunch today. It was delicious! I chose the Fancy Nancy chicken salad on a crossing with chips. I also had the unsweetened iced tea. The sandwich and tea was fresh and delicious. The associates were friendly and helpful, too. The restaurant was clean and quite busy. I will definitely go back soon. read more

Chicken Salad Chick - Lunch at Chicken Salad Chick off hwy 280 and Lee branch. - Southern Near Me - Hoover, Alabama

I love this place. What a great spot for a ladies lunch out! They offer samples so you know what you are getting. I haven't met a chicken salad there that I didn't like! I love to grab a take home container from their fridge right by the cash register when I'm on the go. I like the "Fancy Nancy" You get plenty of good crackers! Behind the counter service is Southern friendly and polite. I plan to visit this location often! read more

Finally made it to Chicken Salad Chick! I love chicken salad, but not loving this Chix salad. Great anticipation turned to despair is all I can say. Tried the trio, why not sample as many choices as I can, right? Three different scoops on the plate for sure. Three different chicken salads, not so sure. All three taste exactly the same. Shredded chicken, and I mean mush, with gobs of mayo and salt, tons and tons of salt. Chunks of chicken, not a one. Chunks of chicken grizzle, yes mam. Guess I am leaving the Chix hungry because this mush is not going any further than in the trash. Only thing that makes this decision to eat here worse is the fact I paid 9 bucks. Skip the Chick when you are in the mood for chicken salad. read more

We had a great chicken salad sandwich on our first visit. Staff are friendly and courteous. Good fresh bread. Will be back

I'm quite surprised by the negative reviews, but then again, my experience is based in the location downtown. I work in downtown Birmingham, one if my coworkers suggested this place because it was nearby and we wanted something quick. So, I looked at the menu online and decided upon the "Jazzy Julie". The description said hot, but this wasn't a typical hot, this was as hell. So if you're into spicy, that one is for you! You can get the chicken salad as scoop with crackers or on bread. I went with the sandwich option and had a side of broccoli salad. As mentioned before the they don't use a lot of mayo, which is the way i prefer mines. This is perfect for lunch for me, I was full but not sluggish afterwards. read more

So many yummy choices to choose from! Some of my favorites include the Classic Carol, the Lemon Basil, and the Barbie Q! The grape salad and broccoli salad are good also. You can always count on great service too! I'm a huge fan!!! read more

Chicken Salad Chick - Yummy! - Southern Near Me - Hoover, Alabama

Note that I'm ONLY giving 3* because I think they just need to work out a few kinks. For instance - SALT level! WOW - seems high. Lack of options for bread. Smaller togo portions. Also, sub for the cookie. Fresh jalapeno's versus jar. Some positives, very warm and welcoming vibe when you enter the store. Friendly staff, options to taste the numerous chicken salads. (wish I had done that before I bought the jalapeno one today). They seem fresh and I'll go again to see how it improves. Nice having more choices of places out this way on 280. Keep up the good training on friendly staff - that goes a long way. read more

I am surprised at the negative reviews. I've eaten inside and called in orders many times. Every time the staff has been great, friendly, and polite. One time I accidentally called my order into the wrong location and they were still fast to get my food to me. I personally prefer the scoop vs the sandwich. I think you get more flavor that way. The buffalo Barclay has been a hit at parties with just tortilla chips or pretzels for dipping. People who claim not to like chicken salad still love it. You can grab a lb tub of it and be on your way! I also really like the old south and barbie-q varieties. I've tried several other varieties and like them but the three I mentioned are my go tos. read more

Yum! Fancy nancy chicken salad is delicious. It's not the best chicken salad I've ever had but for a quick stop, it gets the job done. Cookie of the day varies but is always soft and perfect. Only had the broccoli salad and pasta salad as a side, pretty delicious. read more

Love love love chicken salad chik! The employees are so helpful when trying to figure out which chicken salad I want to go with. They even will let you sample one your not to sure of. Definitely would recommend for a girls lunch or brunch. Great atmosphere and the restaurant is spotless. They take pride in their service and the quality of their food. They even have options for catering. If I could give a 10 Star I would! read more

Love this place. Food is delicious. Highly recommend eating here if you like chicken salad.

We walked in today and were hit with an overwhelming, foul odor. It smelled like rotten food. We had to leave. I hope the management reads these reviews and will address it. Previous visits have been fine, except cashiers could be more professional (having personal conversations and ignoring customers). read more

I have been to this location many times and over the course of months has it started going down hill. the service here is terrible, the employees don't give you the time of day, and it takes forever to get your food (even if it is the simplest thing like a scoop of chicken salad). very frustrating that this use to be a regular for my family and I and now we dread going here due to service. read more
