A TikTok bucket list between my daughter and I put Chicken Salad Chick on our radar and a Sunday drive back from a weekend with my dad following surgery gave us the perfect opportunity to check it off. Sometimes the best stops are the unplanned ones. A quick GPS search off the interstate led us straight to it. Shopping center with ample parking and an ABC store nearby for good measure. Walking in felt easy. Bright and straightforward from the door with a cold fridge right at the register filled with ready to grab chicken salad and pimento cheese options. The staff at the register was friendly and ready to go. I ordered the Olivia's Old South one scoop meal with grape salad and a mac and cheese cup. My brother ordered the melt sandwich on croissant. A short wait on a bench near the register and the food was ready to go. The sandwich was served warm and easy to eat while traveling. When I got home and opened the bag there was a generous amount of crackers tucked in to go with the chicken salad. A nice surprise. The cookie added to the container was a thoughtful touch and pretty tasty for sure. On to the chicken salad. The buffalo tasted just like a buffalo chicken dip. The jalapeño holly was a great play on the traditional with just the right kick. The Olivia's Old South with eggs and relish was the move if you want something more traditional in flavor. All three were good and worth trying. The mac and cheese was decent but not the best I have ever had. I will opt for the soup next time because I was dying to try it. One honest critique. The container did not hold up in the fridge. It got soggy which in turn made the chicken salad, pickle, and grape salad soggy as well. It was not edible and I had to toss it. Disappointing because fresh it was so good. The containers were not my friend on this one. Whether you are sitting down or grabbing and going the setup works either way. Quick enough for takeout but spacious enough to sit down while the friendly staff brings your order out when ready. TikTok put it on our radar and Chicken Salad Chick made sure we will be back. A table worth venturing to wherever you find one. read more

I had a wonderful experience at Chicken Salad Chick. Tim Collins, the franchise owner, truly stands out for his professionalism and dedication to customer service. Even when there was an issue with my order that was my mistake, he handled it with understanding and kindness. I also noticed how personally involved he is with customers, taking the time to interact with people and ensure everyone has a great experience. The staff patiently explained the menu options, making it easy to find something delicious and healthy. The restaurant has a welcoming atmosphere, excellent food, and outstanding customer service. Tim Collins and his team have created a place where customers genuinely feel valued. Highly recommended! Thank you Mr.Collins, Im going to recommended your restaurant all my (ORKIN) customers read more

Picked up an order while here on business. Got the chicken salad with cranberry and almonds on white bread. Came with a side of soup; it was 95 degrees out so I wasn't sure about that but I was mistaken. I got the loaded potato soup with my sandwich and a piece of red velvet cake. The girls behind the counter were very friendly and as soon as I told them my name they got my food together. Place is really nice and clean inside and lots of tables. So now the food.... Great. The sandwich was great, the soup even better and the finale; red velvet cake. I will fly to VA to get that cake. Fabulous. One of best pieces of red velvet cake I have ever had. All of the food was great but oh my that cake... read more

This is hands down one of my favorite lunch spots! Not only is the food excellent, but the customer service is truly unmatched. Everyone here is always so friendly, welcoming, and helpful--which feels rare these days when so many places should be leaning on AI or bots as the workers are miserable. I actually enjoy interacting with the people here, and it makes every visit even better. Now, let's talk about the food--because that chicken salad is absolute fire! Today I ordered the Kickin Kay Lynne melt on a perfectly toasted croissant (the only way to eat a chicken sandwich, in my opinion), and holy moly... this is the BEST chicken salad I've ever had. On a previous visit, the cashier recommended the Dixie Chick, which also blew me away and inspired me to keep coming back. I also love that their sandwiches à la carte are under $10 and still come with a crisp dill pickle and the cutest little packaged buttercream-frosted cookie. Such a thoughtful touch and a total bargain. If you're looking for a lunch spot with top-notch food, unbeatable customer service, and great value--you've found it. This place has earned a loyal customer in me! read more

Good customer service. Very tasty chicken salad. Clean dining room. Only complaint is limited choices, they have discontinued many side items and salad options. read more

I couldn't love this place any more than I do. The workers are friendly, the food is always fresh, and I love all of the options. I personally love their jalapeño holly(perk during the holiday when they have deck the holly). I could eat here every day. The mini cookie and grape salad is the perfect sweet treat after a salty meal. Highly recommend read more

The food was amazing. The service was great. You can get samples of the chicken salad which I loved. Overall the experience was very good. The food was ready fast. The little cookie that you get with your meal is so good. read more

Just went there for the first time for lunch. I can't say enough good things about it. This is such a good alternative to burgers. Everything is very fresh (and they use Dukes Mayo!) And perfectly chilled. If you aren't familiar, it's fast casual and yet very cozy. The food is delicious and there's a variety of healthy side dishes as well as Mac n cheese. I'll definitely be back. read more

Discontinued the three scoop meal and took classic items off the menu permanently.Not worth the price anymore.

It was love at first sight.. My first experience was via Door Dash and I was absolutely delighted. Now, that I have had the Chicken Salad Chick experience I am in love. I have never had such a delicious, wonderful, relaxing lunch that was simple elegance.....Let me start with the wonderful young lady who welcomed us and took our order. I feel foolish for not getting her name. She was such a delight! A young person happy at work who openly admitted missing her place of employment while away at school. That was the first hint I found a gem. Everyone looked happy that was working there. I love happy I am a creature of habit so I ordered the same thing. The BBQ on a croissant and of course the grape salad. That is a catering must!!! The grape salad needs to come in XL.lol Nothing prepared me for what came next....Watermelon tea OMG!!!! I think I drank it to intoxication because I was dreaming of marrying a restaurant. I'm so in love When I came to from my dream wedding the very nice manager was asking my daughter if he could take anything away and asking how everything was? I was refilling my watermelon tea. I'm grateful my daughter handled it because I would have been like a teen girl at a One Direction concert just incoherent and giddy. I probably would've scared him. I probably would have kissed his hand. Are you starting to get it??? You are missing out!!!! Grab your chicks and di$&# and get to Chicken Salad Chick's NOW!!!!! It's all Chic and no Cow!!!! read more

Tuesday afternoon 11/8/22 I've been curious about this restaurant and today I had a taste for chicken salad. I picked up my granddaughter and off to Chicken Salad Chick we went. When we walked in, I just noticed that it was bright and kind of a homey feeling. The lady that waited on us was very nice. I familiarize myself with the menu prior to going so I asked for a sample of the chicken salad with fruit and nuts in it. But I opted for chicken salad with onions because I am an onion lover. my chicken salad was a little dry. My granddaughter got a turkey sandwich w/macaroni and cheese as her side. She didn't like the Mac and cheese at all and that went in the trash. The sandwich was dry as they forgot to put the mayonnaise on it. She's 10 years old and rated it a 7/10. The food was just ok. With the combination of the price I'm gonna have to rate it 2 stars. For we we got I feel like it was very expensive. $26.98! Ouch 2 sandwiches, 2 drinks and one cookie. Nothing really memorable for me. read more

All around wonderful! Love the broccoli salad! All the versions of chicken salad are delicious as well.

Worst service ever .. Devin walked by a billion times and interrupted our breakfast and then before I left wanted a drink everyone looked at me standing waiting for a drink including Devine and didn't give us a refill along with all the other staff .. absolutely terrible .. read more

I tried a chicken salad on a crescent that was toasted. It was yummy. This was my first experience here. I will be back.

Great food, great service, always satisfied when I eat here. It doesn't matter which chicken salad I get, it's delicious.

The food is so delicious! My first time - ordered delivery. I ordered Chick Scoop Plate - Fran Chicken Salad Scoop, Spicy Pimento Cheese Scoop, Grape Salad Side. It was amazing. The presentation was nice it arrived in a platter container and very neatly placed. I will be ordering from here more often. read more

I've been going to this restaurant for the better part of 2 years now. For consistency, it can't be beat, and the selections are amazing! I never considered myself a big fan of chicken salad. I didn't eat it growing up, and never really made it at home. I tried this location mostly on a whim, and because it was close to my office and on the recommendation from some of my staff who thought it was good. Never in my life did I think chicken salad could be made with so many varieties! This is certainly a chicken-salad-out-of-the-box kind of restaurant. Options include scoops of chicken salad to sandwiches. There are always 2-3 soups to choose from each day, and their broccoli salad is the perfect accompaniment to any meal. For me, I love their "Cranberry Kelli," as well as a side of Baked Potato Soup! Most times, I go through the drive through. Service is always fast and very friendly. Always leave feeling appreciated for my patronage. They really have a good thing going! Check it out!! read more

place was shit. i saw the cook holding food with no gloves on. i swear they put bob evan's mac n cheese as their mac n cheese. ordered grape chicken salad got two whole grapes in it. read more

The food and service are equally AMAZING! The owner even came to ask how everything was. So welcoming. I brought home leftovers for my beau but ended up eating him before he could even try it! read more

Me and my husband tried them today for the first time and we will definitely be coming back! I got their jalapeño holly and Mimi's mix and a strawberry lemonade to wash it down! The lemonade was nice and tart and the chicken salad itself was very fresh and the apples in Mimi's were crunchy (yum) I also ordered a side of their grape salad which was sweet, tangy and covered in just enough nuts and brown sugar! God bless the drive through worker that patiently waited for us to look at the menu lol. Can't wait to go back! read more

I really enjoy this chicken salad. Three things..... The price went up and very expensive $7 for a small container. This will slow down how often I visit. I like the fancy Nancy but you leave the grapes whole. Please cut up. Hard to eat whole. The crackers are dumped into a large box. The servers grab a hand full and throw into your bag. All my crackers are broken! Some mashed so bad you cannot eat. Please do a better job of taking care of the crackers. read more

We visited opening weekend. The service was great. Friendly. Easy to order. Clean( of course it was brand new) we waited maybe 5 minutes for our order. Which was impressive considering how new and busy they were. I ordered Chicken salad on a croissant( the one with grapes in it). Nice pieces of fresh chicken and not too much Mayo,which I appreciate. I love the little cookie we got with each of our meals. My daughter ordered off of the kids menu. She loved her fruit and cookie! She had a PB&J that was standard. I would and will definitely go back again! CSC is a great addition to Mechanicsville! read more

First off a rare 5 star for a first time visit to a restaurant. But this place has their concept down to perfection. Very clean modern take on a southern front porch I would call the decor. Very bright and energetic. A spin on soul and salad as they have a variety of chicken and eggs salads as well as pimento cheese and typical salads. I got the soup and sandwich combo with the old south chicken salad version. Delicious. For side I got the potato soup. Again perfect. And a cookie thrown in as well. Friendly staff. It is counter service to order but they bring food to your table. A Must visit for lunch! read more

Good food, a lot of variety of chicken salad. Perfect for a hot day or when you're craving something fresh. Good and fast customer service. Bit pricey though. read more

The food was amazing, the cookies were amazing, the brocoli cheese soup was super cheesy and delicious. The service was amazing, I came in and sat down at the waiting area for a pick-up order a worker asked if me if I needed anything without me asking and she brought me my food, also the restaurant is super cute!! Such a nice atmosphere. read more

Rude waitstaff! The food was not worth the $$ you pay for. The restaurant itself is pretty clean, only because it's new location. Will not be bac! read more

We got a chance today to try the newish location of Chicken Salad Chick in Mechanicsville today. Inside, the dining room is very cute. They had a lot of staff working and made our to-go order very fast. All the food was yummy. The hardest part is picking your chicken salad flavor. So many choices! They have a little bit of outside dining in the front. Clean and working like clockwork. I got the Dixie Chick salad on white with loaded baked potato soup. Hubby got Carol's chicken salad BLT croissant with Mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese was definitely homemade! Son, who does not like mayonnaise, got Turkey Pesto sandwich with tomato bisque. I also got a scoop of the Lemon Basil chicken salad to try. They give you a cute little iced shortbread cookie in every box, with a pickle as well. Packaged well to go, everything safely travelled home. For COVID, Staff was wearing masks and a table has been set in front of the ordering counter to create space between you and them. A manager was seen inside and out wiping down tables. I watched as he asked a customer without a mask who tried to enter to go get one and then told him how to order from online when he did not have one. He was very polite about it but firm. Good for them, keeping the rest of us safe! I look forward to future trips to try other salad flavors! My friend recommended the Sassy Scotty, so that is next for me. I highly recommend you visit for dine in, dine out on the patio area or take it to go with curbside pickup, even. I hope they expand that patio area a little more with tables on both sides and some covering for shade. read more

I don't know why I don't eat here more often! I have nothing but positive stuff to say about Chicken Salad Chick. I've tried several chicken salads from their menu and all are good, but my absolute favorite is the Jalapeño Holly. On a croissant or just a scoop, OMG! The owner is always there and quick to offer advice about the menu, or answer any questions you may have. He can often be seen cleaning off tables, behind the register taking orders, or in the back fulfilling orders. If you haven't stopped by yet, you're missing out on some major deliciousness! Do yourself a favor and grab a quick scoop or sandwich. You WILL thank me. read more

This place is a hidden gem. I love chicken said but couldn't tell from the online menu if the food would be legit. Let me tell you that I was wrong. . The cashier was so nice and helped me think through the numerous options and provided me with samples to help me decide. I got the Olivia's Old South BLT with a side of cheddar broccoli soup. It was amazing. I I would definitely come back and recommend. I gave them 4 stars because the bathroom smelled awful. Easy fix read more

The general feel of the place is simple and nice. It reminds me of Panera in the sense that the ordering is similar, and there's ample seating. I got the jalapeño chicken salad. There's a nice little cookie that comes with the meal. However it's almost a third of the calories of the chicken salad meal. I seem to remember a pickle. I think it's made w a yogurt base as opposed to mayo? So it's lighter and less calories? All in all a nice experience for a take-away lunch place. read more

Their slogan should be modified to "Have you ever wanted to strangle a place?" The logo shows a lady from the good ole days when women were courteous, polite and poised. Yeah, not here. Tried it exactly 2 times, and both times the order taker left me steaming with their crappy attitude. This time, I wanted to try 2 different whole sandwiches, eat half here, take home the other half for later. Simply asked to eat here, and for a box and bag to go. That was waytoo hard and confused the lady, gave me a snippy attitude and so I hastily said "ok, to go" and ate from the box in the dining room, which gave me a great opportunity to write this review! Food is fresh, flavor is marginal but nothing special. Dining room is cozy enough design afa a fast food joint. Bottom line: Ain't never coming back. read more

So I was introduced to chicken salad chick about a year ago through one of our reps. that brings lunch at the establishment where I work. I was completely completely in love! Living in Mechanicsville, I rode by chicken salad chick pretty much every day, but after experiencing the lunch from the rep, I decided to visit the establishment myself. Everything that I have tried has been amazing. The staff has been very friendly and helpful when trying to figure out what to order. All in all, I am definitely a fan of chicken salad chick! read more

Finally got to try this place out today and I was very pleased! The staff is friendly, the restaurant is very clean and cute and my to-go order came out quickly. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and am already planning what I'll get on my next visit which will be soon!! read more

It's ok. I just feel like it's too much mayo in the chicken salad. The macaroni & cheese is good. The cookies are good as well.
