Great place for a healthy balanced meal! They have a fantastic assortment of chicken salads to try. They also offer several other options in case you are not a fan of chicken salad. We ordered the Sassy Scotty croissant and Pimento Cheese BLT on white bread. Each came with a pickle and delicious buttercream cookie. I highly recommend their chicken salad on a croissant. The portions are reasonable and the employees are friendly and efficient (also all were wearing masks). The interior of the restaurant is bright, clean, and welcoming. Their is ample seating available in the dining room and pleasant music plays in the background. Overall we enjoyed our meal and would recommend this establishment to others! read more

As someone who doesn't LOVE chain restaurants - chicken salad chick impressed me. All 4 chicken salads that I tried were truly delicious. Well blended, very flavorful, and great texture. I particularly loved the lemon basil chicken salad and the loaded potato soup. We ordered two trio's - each came with one sandwich, one scoop, side, crackers, pickle, drink, and a cute frosted sugar cookie! A whole lot of food for a VERY reasonable price. There was one thing that I didn't care for and that was the texture of the bread. It does not crumble (from what I've read - that is intentional). For me, it was just a bit odd. The highlight of our experience was hands down the owner speaking with us while we ordered and waited for our food. Truly a wonderful conversation and made for quite a memorable lunch. read more

Super impressed by this place! They opened during the pandemic and have made a really go at the business! We were lucky to arrive when they opened so they weren't too busy yet. We were greeted by the owner and the manager right away. Since we were newcomers, they recommended trying whatever we wanted so we could make our decision! You order and pay at the counter. They then give you a number and they will bring out the food. We hadn't even filled our drinks before the food was at our table! If you are pressed with time for lunch, this is the place to go! Everyone was so friendly and it was so fast! My friend opted for the fancy Nancy scoop with pasta salad and loved it. It had the traditional fruit and nuts in it. I opted for the buffalo chick sandwich on wheat with broccoli salad. It was really tasty. Everything is made in house (with the exception do the baked goods, which are also undeniably amazing). This is a definite "will be back" spot! read more

I stopped by on my way out of town. Got the meal which was an amazing deal. I had the basil chicken salad on wheat, broccoli salad and a scoop of Buffalo chicken salad. Loved the basil and broccoli salad minis broccoli. The Buffalo was very salty and ok. It was so much food. I could only eat half. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend this place as a fast alternative to fast food! read more

This cafe has the best chicken salad sandwiches. I love the Fancy Nancy chicken salad on croissant sandwich. The Fancy Nancy chicken salad has grapes and pecans so it's light and refreshing with a slight crunch. The cafe is good for dining in or online ordering and carry out. There are other types of sandwiches on the menu too, as well as a variety of salads, soup, and sides. read more

The best chicken salad around! All the varieties are delicious. It's hard to pick a favorite. Staff is always so friendly. The broccoli salad is probably one of the best I've ever had. read more

It's all in the name, if you like chicken salad then this is a place that you have to visit. There are so many options to choose from but they offer samples to help you narrow it down. I made my meal a trio with the fancy nancy on wheatberry, a scoop of pimento cheese and loaded potato soup and my husband ordered the turkey club on wheatberry bread with loaded potato soup. The food and service were great. Plus, the mini cookie that you get was the perfect way to end the meal. read more

The first thing I noticed was how clean and neat the dining room area especially I came during busy dinner rush. I cannot say this for a lot of fast dining. They have a spacious indoor and outdoor dining area. Being my first time Brayden did a great job explaining their menu and giving excellent recommendation to try for the first timers, great customer service experience. They also have Grab and go bar if you are in a rush. They have good amount of pre made selections. I tried Classic Chicken salad BLT sandwich and Turkey sandwich both with croissant . They were both delicious and quality of the ingredients were superb. Must try the side of grape salad. I never had anything like it before. Don't forget to grab one of Chocolate Marshmallows Crispy treats. This place is definitely a gem and you must try it. Cannot wait to go back and try more things off the menu read more

Mmm... this is a nice place when you need a break from all the fried and greasy food you eat throughout your week. I ordered the Lauryn's Lemon Basil with a side of broccoli and bacon salad. They definitely served a huge portion of chicken salad in the bread, but I was expecting chopped chicken as opposed to shredded. The amount of mayonnaise was a bit overwhelming, and you can't really taste the basil or lemon in the chicken salad. So overall there's a lot that are just a little unknown to really say this place is truly overall a healthy option, well it might just be the item I ordered. I personally look at the ratio of protein and fats, and this wasn't what I was expecting. So maybe I was just expecting too much. I'll give it another try, but order something else... again this is just my opinion. read more

Chicken Salad Chick - Southern Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

Honestly I was headed next door for lunch but stopped in because I love a good chicken salad. And the Chicken Salad Chick has a whole menu of really good chicken salad and a great origin story to go with it. Gotta love a single mom who knows her way around the kitchen and has an entrepreneurial spirit. The owners of this franchise (store number 100-something) were super involved this beautiful Saturday afternoon. I know he was smiling behind that mask when he offered free tastes of whatever I wanted to try. I asked for the Holly Jalapeño and Sassy Scotty (that's bacon and cheddar) and he included the Carol Classic. All were outstanding! But the calorie count sent me to the Fruity Fran for my lunch choice. I was surprised the green grapes were whole in this chicken salad. I will say all the salads are are held together with a lot more mayo than this weight watcher is used to. Maybe that's why they were so good!!! I ordered the Chick special --choose two. I had the Fruity Fran scoop and a seasonal salad. $1 upgrade was worth it to me! The salad was chocked full of fresh greens, Apples, strawberries, finely chopped nuts, craisens, and some feta. The poppyseed dressing complimented it perfectly. It was served with packaged crackers and a salty dill pickle pear. For $10.05 it also came with a yummy mini buttercream cookie and fountain drink (soft drinks Coke products, sweet tea and unsweetened, and lemonades). If you want a refill, please ask for a new cup due to COVID. Speaking of COVID-19, masks are being worn by every employee, use a touch-less menu you scan onto your phone, the cute decor inside includes tables socially distanced, there's comfortable outdoor dining (that overlooks a parking lot) and hand sanitizer galore. I'm so glad I discovered this place! I'll be back. I thought the price was right for everything you got. And the service, direct to your table was fast. If you're in a bigger hurry there's an entire refrigerator section for grab and go. Welcome to Waverly Place. I hope to see you on a Kay Yow Wine Walk soon! read more

Friends in Florida raved about this place. Tried it this week for lunch, YUMMY! Place is new, so bright and clean, easy online ordering and pick up, even curbside if needed. Food was very good! Variety of flavors, sandwiches or scoops, with sides and to top off the great lunch, they give you a very yummy cookie. read more

This is now officially my favorite lunch spot! Came in on a whim when we were in there area and it did not disappoint. Everyone was so friendly - I would say by far superior service to what you might expect. The manager(s?) even checked by our table to ask if everything was good, and we had an employee offer to clear our table when we were finished eating. These things really make a dining experience memorable. We were fortunate to have dropped in on a Wednesday, when they have the Chicken Tortilla soup, which was recommended by our checkout associate at the order counter. I got the combo with Classic Carol chicken salad scoop and a cup of the soup and my husband just got a bowl of the soup. I have to say WOW it was so good. It really hit the spot as a perfect lunch would and I can't wait to go back and be a bit more adventurous with the different chicken salad options. The Dixie Chick I have my eye one as someone who actually really loves onion, so I'll be back reaaal soon. read more

Great place food is fantastic nice atmosphere kind of a Starbucks appeal inside but reasonable prices large portions great cookies.

Really used to enjoy this place but it seems to have gone downhill. Virtually no chicken salad. Didn't include a cookie (guess they aren't doing that anymore) and the side portion was smaller. Sad to see such a change from their past sandwich's with loads of chicken salad. read more

I love coming to Chicken Salad Chick for lunch! They have such a nice variety of flavors for chicken salad and every one I have tasted so far is great. I like getting a sandwich and a side of another chicken salad. It's very filling. The last time I went there I shared it with my father who apparently in his 81 years of age never had chicken salad. He loved it. I live in NJ but every time I come into town which is at least 3 times a year, I make it a point to come to CSC. read more

You can't beat Southern hospitality at Chicken Salad Chick- but you also can't beat the fantastic salads at this place. When this combination of love, yummy, patience and kindness there is no other option but to simply sit down and enjoy the food here. Huge shout out to Mike and Zachary today for some great service and smiles! My family loves the Jalapeño holly, Kickin Kay Lynne and the BBQ and the Scottie. They love them all but we always try one spicy and one less-spicy of the choices whenever we go. The sugar cookies with buttercream are truly delicious. My favorite side is the Mac n cheese but that grape pecan salad is to die for! The seasonal salads are pretty cool too. We always get ours on croissants but they were out today and everyone devoured the wheat ones too! Always love us a good Chicken Salad Chick! read more

Have been there twice and have enjoyed everything I purchased. Love that you have a choice of a side and what type of bread you like.

Excellent quality chicken salad, superb customer service and lots of parking availability. I highly recommend Chicken Salad Chick.

We have only ever ordered delivery but this place is fantastic! I'll start with they have never gotten an order wrong or forgot anything! Food! The Sassy Scotty is the best chicken salad ever. I can't bring myself to order anything else but it's perfect. Usually order with a side of broccoli salad which is also very very good! My husband has tried the Classic Carol and the Buffalo chicken salad and loved both. We probably need to explore more of the menu but seem to have found our favorites. Lastly, they are amazing with allergies. We have a peanut allergy in the house and they answered all the questions we had. If you haven't tried it you definitely should! read more

I didn't realize this place was a chain. It is run like a mom and pop restaurant, meaning the employees seem to genuinely care about your experience. The food is delicious and fresh. It comes quickly and, considering the inflation going on, isn't too expensive. The place is very clean as well. I really have nothing but good things to say. Just come eat here. You won't be disappointed. read more

You can't ever go wrong with chicken salad chick. The staff were so nice and welcoming at this location!

Fast food chicken salad joint - all selections are tasty - love the crackers and little cookie you get with your order. Only negative is that if you're allergic to whole wheat - like my sister - they do not have an option for crackers. read more

I was (beyond) pleasantly surprised by chicken salad chick! I love chicken salad but was confused how an entire place around it would work; but it def did!!! It's hard to find a really good chicken salad but CSC delivered! The place is fast casual and really cute! The food came out super fast and the entire staff was beyond nice and accommodating, especially the owner, John. We felt so welcomed! We tried the fancy Nancy(a fruity one), the blazing Buffalo (on white toast), the broccoli salad, the grape salad, and the lemon basil croissant w pasta salad (pictured). We shared and sampled everything on the table and every single thing was DELICIOUS! The Buffalo wasn't too hot, it was just right- like the perfect Buffalo chicken dip. Idk what kind of white bread they use but it's really good. I shockingly liked that more than the croissant, plus it let the chicken salad be the star and really shine. The broccoli salad was my favorite side, although they were all awesome! The grape salads sweet cream cheese, YUM. They include a little cookie with the meals too which was a nice sweet end touch. They just went today for lunch and already can't wait to go back. I think I'm going to dream about that broccoli salad tonight.. If you like chicken salad- GO! read more

This place has that perfect Southern cozy charm to their Resturant but also within their staff. Everyone was so sweet and welcoming and even provided us samples for the various chicken salads. I always appreciate places where they have a smaller menu not because they aren't capable but it speaks volume that the items that are on their menu are extremely delicious. If not for the recent Yelp elite event, I don't think I would have ever discovered this place and I'm grateful for Yelp events that allow me to branch out of my own comfort zone. I got the classic carol because it's the classic and easily comparable to others. I must say it is one of the best chicken salad sandwiches I have ever had in my life. I got mine with a croissant and oh my *chefs kiss*! It was a great blend. For my side I ordered a grape salad as it was the cashiers favorite. The grape salad was so delicious and refreshing. A beautiful compliment to the sandwich. It was nice because I even received a small cookie and pickle! The meal itself was filling, sustainable and affordable. I highly recommend this place and would return. read more

Was our first time through the door of Chicken Salad Chick and from the moment we entered it was a delightful experience. The originality of the restaurant, the quality of the menu and pleasant nature of the staff make it a winner. I definitely recommend it. All of the items we ordered were delicious! Grape salad was fresh and inviting. The Barbie-Q sandwich was amazing with exceptional flavor and the Fancy Nancy chicken melt on a croissant was flaky with the perfect balance of flavors and consistency. The Chicken Salad Chick definitely has a passion for chicken Salad and it's well worth the trip! Enjoy! read more

My son and I had our first experience here today at the recommendation of a friend who is obsessed. And now we understand why. A quaint little spot in the middle of Waverly Place with amazing, fresh, delicious food and wonderfully friendly service, we will definitely be going back. I had the classic chicken salad BLT and my son had the mac n cheese and we both loved our food and enjoyed sitting outside on a beautiful day. I highly recommend this to anyone who loved fresh food! read more

Please put your "to-go pick up" area somewhere, anywhere, else other than the fire lane where it blocks traffic! Every single time I come to this shopping center (on this side) there is always someone PARKED sitting in this area making it difficult, if not, dangerous. I've almost been in 2 accidents due to your to-go area...once me having to go around someone sitting there and once with someone else having to go around. Pick one or two parking spots and designate them your To-Go spots just as Shake Shack has done. read more

After reading several local articles about CSC, I had to try it. I am so glad that I did... Although the concept and subsequently the franchise started in Alabama it fits in nicely in Cary, NC. It is located in Waverly place on the upper half and has outdoor seating. Upon arrival, I found a menu table near the entrance, and decided on my lunch. I interacted with Aidan at checkout, very friendly, and asked for a 'sassy scotty' sample. Beyond delicious with ranch dressing and bacon. MMMMM. I ordered BLT with sassy scotty on toasted white bread and side of mac&cheese. 5 star! I kinda fell in lust with my sandwich. Portion size and price were on point too. I will definitely be back. PS-100 Sanitation. Well done CSC staff. read more

Food - excellent Service - excellent Ambiance - 2-3 stars due to two of the management team who sat next to our table and spent the entire time talking with the 3rd person...these two men talked so LOUD that they must have a hearing problem...our lunch, though great in all other respects, was not enjoyable. read more

Good chicken salad!! Great experience! Several styles and very good! Won't be disappointed with casual dining!

Great food, service and ambiance. The food was delicious and fresh. The service really stood out!

Enjoyed this place through a Yelp event. Not a place I would normally visit since I routinely make my own chicken salad and pimento cheese. Got the Classic Carol on toasted white bread with lettuce and tomato with side of mac and cheese. Also got the Olivia's Old South on wheat berry toast with side of broccoli salad. Both chicken salads were good but we preferred the Old South with the pickles and eggs. Mac was great and the broccoli salad was stellar. They were super busy at 1 PM on Friday but things moved quickly. Took food to go and it traveled well. Would definitely eat food from here again. read more

This was our first time at Chicken Salad Chick, so we weren't sure what to expect. Immediately upon entering we were greeted by the friendly and personable franchise owner, Mike. He was super helpful in explaining the menu, the combo deals, and the special flavor of the month. The restaurant was clean on the inside and the food was prepared and delivered quickly. My wife and I were both happy with the taste and freshness of the food, and I feel at just under 10 dollars, it was a good deal as well. We will certainly be back. read more
