The only problems were: -Patrons packed into every available inch. Our row of chairs was touching the backs of the chairs behind us. No room to adjust seating. -No room to store coats and packages except keep them in our laps or try to put on floor (not a good choice) -Heavy traffic all around us. Definitely not an intimate setting but great if one didn't want to communicate with their guest. -EXTREAMLY NOISY!!!! Couldn't even converse with those at my table -Food was delicious and seemed authentic. Served rapidly. Was not able to enjoy cocktail because meal arrived so quickly. -Female server was very fast with refills, take home boxes, and our check. She appeared tired! -Very little waiting space at the front area. Probably won't be a problem in warmer weather and wait outside. -Would have been nice to have a menu while waiting to decide on drinks and food choices. -Menus large in size and hard to juggle i0n a large party Will probably go back due to quality of food. Will not go on a peak eating time. -No room for wheelchairs and maneuvering hard due to crowd. Plenty of parking because restaurant was upside mall area.

Our table was lovely and private, perfect for heartfelt conversation, and our server, Bailey, was cheerful as always and so accommodating. We started with mussels and the Caesar salad. Both were good, but I can't stop thinking about the buttery deliciousness of the mussels and broth. Honestly, the best I've ever had. My husband and I had the fish and chips: steel-head trout, lightly battered and fried with tartar sauce and malt vinegar. So good! Our daughter had the ribeye and it was out of this world. Perfectly cooked to medium rare, nice sear on the outside and a gorgeous red center. Easily the best steak my daughter and husband (couldn't resist a taste) had ever had. The garlic compound butter is a must-have. Perfect compliment to the steak. We foolishly ended with an incredibly decadent dessert and it, too, was amazing! A chocolate brownie with ice cream and rum sauce . . . We fought over it even though we were so full after the great dinner. We love Home. A wonderful relaxing dinner, a wonderful special occasion place, or a great place to try their take-out menu, we are so lucky to have Home so near our community. Service is always impeccable and the food meets most exacting standards.

We glanced at other tables- the blueberry pancakes at the next table looked amazing. I hemmed and hawed but being a biscuit connoisseur, I went with the country platter. Big mistake. We both ordered platters with scrambled eggs and crispy bacon. The eggs were crunchier than the bacon. Disappointingly, the biscuit was a standard frozen foot service reheat. The winner was the French toast. And, as I paid the bill, I ordered a cinnamon roll to go. It was touted as freshly made. It was just after 8am... it was dry and unappetizing. Very disappointing experience all around. We did find the staff lovely and warm. The food didn't match their energy.

Makayla from chicken salad chick in dawsonville, I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt appreciation for the exceptional service you provided at Chicken Salad Chick. You truly made my day with your kindness and thoughtfulness. Not only did you go above and beyond by giving me extra crackers, but your personal touch of leaving a nice note on the bag meant so much to me.

I couldn't help but feel valued and cared for as a customer. Your genuine kindness made my experience at Chicken Salad Chick memorable. I want to thank you once again for your outstanding service.

It's a Friday night, and I was a little nervous that we'd have a long wait. Taylor took my information and put us in for a table, whatever was first available. We went and sat outside for about 4-5 minutes and got the text that our table was ready! We got seated outside towards the back corner and we were greeted by our server Hayley. We passed on alcohol, but asked what today's flatbread was and it was "taco". Every time we come here, I always want to get the shrimp and crab nachos, where they basically put the same exact thing on 12 perfect tortilla chips, served on a wooden platter. It's perfect, it's always delicious and just large enough so we don't get full. For entrees my parents chose the chicken piccata, and the black and blue burger with a side Caesar salad. I chose to go with the flatbread as an entree, and I knew that the onion rings would be very popular. Asked for a side of the avocado cilantro crema to accompany the onion rings. First of all, the onion rings are seasoned so well, with no dipping sauce or ketchup it's still really crunchy and savory. The flatbread was super crispy, topped with black beans, corn, and seasoned grilled chicken. Really flavorful, and not too large for feeling overly stuffed. My mother normally doesn't finish a burger but she did tonight (sharing some with my father), while sharing a few bites with my dad's chicken piccata and his angel hair pasta and capers. All in all, everything is always fantastic here. Hayley was great about making sure we were happy and had our waters topped off, and all things considered, we were in and out of there within an hour and fifteen minutes tops. Thanks to the team here for yet another great meal tonight! We will be back, this was our 4th qualifying visit so I'm up for a free entree next time I show up! Thanks Hayley for a tasty and quick meal tonight. We enjoyed the food and the service immensely.

The brisket was mediocre at best. Very fatty. Fries were perfect. The corn was inedible. It tasted like it had been dipped in a chemical. Brunswick stew was also served. It was OK. The shrimp dish had hushpuppies that were as hard as rocks. Onion rings were good. The shrimp itself was large but tasteless. IMO The prices are high for what you get. Note: They have a 8 oz fillet for $49! Crab legs for $35. I had higher hopes, but I'm out.
