I love happy accidents! We're headed home to Texas and wanted to get lunch after passing through Nashville. Just wanted a sandwich, so we were headed for the Jimmy John's next door. But when I saw this unique place in the parking lot. I'm a big fan of both chicken and tuna salad and I thought it was neat to see an entire store dedicated to it! Went in to scope out the menu (drive thru is currently out of order) and decided I needed to try "the one with the fruit and nuts". There was a line but it moved quite quickly. Apparently you can either order off the menu or snag a pre-made from the fridge and checkout for quicker service. The employees were friendly. Ordered it as a sandwich (rather than a scoop) and got the options of white, wheat, or croissant (the choice there was obvious). Got a soup for a side. Not a bogus price range, around $10. Used the restroom quick while they made up my order, which I didn't have to wait long for. The flavor was all fantastic! Even came with crackers for the soup and a little cookie for dessert. For sure if I lived near here, this would be a regular stop for me. The toilets were clean, though laughably it wasn't the men's and women's but the chick's and chick magnet's... oof, that heteronormativity... Plus the men's had "helpful tips" about taking their lady to this shop to get laid. I'm all for guys exploring their feminine side, y'know because they might find out they like it, not as a performative stunt to get in a girl's pants. How about we stop reinforcing dumb gender roles and just enjoy chicken salad? Last I checked that's pretty gender neutral. Sorry, soapbox moment! read more

Stopped in for my first visit while shopping around. I can't believe I haven't stopped into a chicken salad chick around home but I will be now for sure. The only thing I didn't like was the potato soup. It had a fake smoke flavor. The grape salad was something I know I'll be getting on repeat! I love the variety of chicken salads they have to offer but I went with the original read more

So we stopped in after a morning of shopping near Bellevue. This place is very cute and we were intrigued to try it for the first time. I'll start with the cons. Cons: - Inside orders take forever - Drive through customers are prioritized - We waited so long (30+ minutes) we had to switch from dining in to a to go box Pros: - After finally getting our food I must say it was very good - The my do offer their "quick chick" which are ready to grab and go chicken salads as an option - Plenty of parking read more

After a morning of running errands, I was looking for a quick lunch. I'd never been to Chicken Salad Chick before, but noticed a drive thru and assumed it would be fast because of that. My boyfriend and I ordered chicken salad sandwiches. Mine had a side of past salad, his broccoli salad. We sat and waited... and waited... and waited. After 30 minutes, we asked for our food to-go because we had plans. We received it within five minutes. I'm wondering if our order was forgotten or if there's just a major prioritization of the drive thru. My croissant was good, and I enjoyed the pasta salad. It's unlikely I'll be back, but if I do, I will definitely take the drive thru route. read more

Chicken Salad Chick - Olivia's Old South chicken salad + pasta salad - Southern Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

The one time we ventured out to try Chicken Salad Chick, we got it to-go. The food remind me of southern style potlucks in parks: "salad" is a term I would use loosely here. Are there chopped vegetables and protein? Yes. Are they typically accompanied by huge amounts of (delicious) mayo or cream-based sauces? Also yes. It depends on what you're searching for here. I wouldn't quite say this is where you go to find the most nutrient dense options, but where's the fun in that anyways? The food here is colorful and tasty. The portions in my opinion are slightly small for southern fare, especially the sides, but are reasonable. They have a drive through option for service, and there is also plenty of parking in the One Bellevue complex. The restaurant itself feels streamlined, clean, and bright. I would be sure to check hours ahead of time to make sure you can get a chicken, tuna, or other salad of your choosing. read more

I was excited to try the chicken salad here, not knowing what to expect. The wide variety of different chicken salad recipes, serving style, and sides was very surprising! I had the Fancy Nancy chicken salad served as a BLT on a croissant, the Dixie Chick Salad Sandwich, Chicken and Dumplings Soup and Macaroni and Cheese. (Well, my partner and I. But we had to try a few bites of each other's order, of course.) I really enjoyed everything! There was a good variety of chicken salad choices (I prefer grapes and nuts in mine, with a bit of a sweeter taste. However, my boyfriend really likes an onion/dill heavy chicken salad.) I appreciated the range available, and the samples offered! I tried a bite of the Thai chicken salad, and kind of regret not grabbing one of their easy to-go containers of it. The restaurant was clean and well kept. Their sweet treat of Chicken Salad Chick cookies were sweet and reminded me of that super-flour-heavy-delightfully-fluffy cookie sold in grocery stores (which I loved). The staff were incredibly kind and attentive. I'm glad I stopped by! read more

Every time I come here it is the slowest service I could ever have. The food tastes good, but even when it is dead inside, it takes a ridiculous amount of time. They only get the orders half right. read more

Chicken Salad Chick - I asked for extra lettuce and no crackers. - Southern Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Taking 15+ minutes for carryout, while being out of half of their chicken salads! At lunch! Workers are slow and dont care.

Great food and even better service. they're Sugar cookies are absolutely delicious. Perfect to have with a cup of tea or a coffee.

Besides the menu items with alliterations and rhymes there's plenty else about Chicken Salad Chick that is super catchy. You can do the ole grab and go or you can dine in. Pre-covid you could sample as many chicken salads as you want until you find the one you've been dreaming of (I really hope they can do this again). You can get combos or sides or dessert. It seems hard to go wrong with all the options here. I got the Fancy Nancy which is a sweeter take on a chicken salad which seemed perfect for a summer picnic. The cute interior, friendly employees and delicious sandwich just put me in a good mood the rest of the day. As far as dining options in Bellevue, this is among one of the better lunch options. I've had many a chicken salad sandwich in my day but these rank at the top! read more

The staff has been nothing but sweet and helpful. Food came out fast and fresh! Tables are set and clean. Love this location!

CSC used to be a real treat...not anymore. My drive thru order was incorrect- I didn't order grape salad, but broccoli salad. The fruity Fran chicken salad was wet and runny. I decided to try a scoop of the spicy pimento instead of the regular which is basically tasteless, and the spicy goes to the TOTAL opposite extreme it was basically chopped jalapenos with a little cheese and so dry I had to add some mayo to it when I got home but even trying to 'dr it up' didn't help the taste - just heat no flavor. I gave up on the meal and decided to enjoy my little sweet treat cookie AND IT WAS STALE...I mean the whole meal was an epic fail and cost me over $15. Ridiculous. read more

First time trying Chicken salad Chick and won't be the last! I am determined to work my way through their menu. This place is my new favorite in the neighborhood! Tried the turkey club and my husband tried the chicken salad with macaroni and cheese. My sandwich was fresh and tasty! The size of it was more than I was able to eat in one setting. The pasta salad I had with it was awesome and flavorful! I loved the little cookie that came with the meal. It was so good! My husband tried the chicken salad and he stated it was so good with a ton of flavor. The menu had a variety of meals to choose from, I was impressed. The diningroom was decorated with a flower theme which was really cute and fitting. One negative I had was that the drink station was a little dirty but I know that could get cleaned up easily. We have tried many sandwich places in the area and this is by far the best place and value for our money. We will be back, I would like to work my way through the menu and try and the salad types! read more

Always a great lunch spot! I love that I see the same gentleman working there that was there opening day, he is just the kindest. Always great service, cute decor and clean. Love the variety of chicken salad options! Grape salad is a favorite. read more

One of the best places to eat their amazing food (and study ). I wish they had more electrical outlets and possibly USB plugs so we could stay even longer. Clean, great decor and friendly staff. read more

Food is great but service is not so much. We waited 10 mins with our food sitting g on counter for someone to bag while 5 employees were just "hanging out talking" my husband kindly asked if he could get his food and they seemed very put out to help. Wasn't impressed at all with staff. Place is super clean and cute and food was amazing! read more

Chicken Salad Chick - Southern Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I'm a bit torn on how I feel about this place, but I feel like a 3/5 is justified. Overall the food is quite good. My go-to is the Classic Carol, and it's always great. That menu item is simply a standard chicken salad, but they rock it every time. Also the fact that there is a drive-thru for a chicken salad restaurant is incredibly unique and is at least worth coming for that experience. The service, however, is quite spotty. There are some days where you'll have a great experience. Then there are some days where you'll receive a chicken salad to-go where you receive 17 crackers without any napkins or plastic utensils (I only ate 3 of them). The 1 lb. Classic Carol bowl is also $13.71, which isn't terrible but you aren't really saving money unless you buy one of the smaller menu items. Overall it's not the best restaurant that I've been to in Nashville so far, but it's a fun restaurant concept with healthy/tasty menu items that makes it worth checking out at least once if you find yourself in the Bellevue area. read more

Brian is wonderful and keeps this place running efficiently and smoothly. I have ordered catering from this location many times and he is always very personable and friendly. He is my go to for large catering orders. The food is always very fresh and on point as well. 5/5 stars read more

I have eaten at these all over the place. I do really love it! They're really friendly and consistent!! I have tried nearly all of their salads but the two I love the most are the cranberry Kelli and the fruity Fran. They have great jalapeno pimento cheese too! I always grab one or two to munch on over the weekends or take to a family gathering. read more

A hidden gem! They have several different flavors to choose from. I really like the traditional one,by far the best and they give you a good amount. They have friendly service and fresh salads as well! I absolutely love this place! read more

i would make this a zero but i can't so i gives it a one anyway the food is really good but they didn't give me my soup

The chicken salad is legit. They must be owner operated , if they aren't then the owners need to give the kind older gentleman, Michael I think, and older woman running this location a raise- the definition of customer service during our last visit. I had a toddler who was losing his mind- he was tired. They kept checking and bringing things to the table to help calm him. So sweet! If I could give it more stars I would. read more

I'm biased because I absolutely love chicken salad. But this place was great. It was a fast, delicious, semi-healthy stop off the freeway on a recent road trip. Definitely all I could want from lunch. read more

It's INCREDIBLY overwhelming for your first visit. The ordering rules seem almost over complicated. (Choose a Scoop or Sandwich and a side, but a side can be a soup? Does that make it a Trio? Is the scoop the sandwich? Do they fling it at me?) The better half and I spent several minutes with the menu at the entrance trying to figure it out before we were brave enough to walk to up to order. To make matters worse, when we DID go up to order the person behind the counter, in an attempt to be "Helpful" kept repeating my order for my scoop "Classic Carol" as "Sassy Scotty". Saying the "Classic Carol' was boring. Since I'd never been, I deferred to her judgment. This was a mistake. I did not like the Sassy Scotty. I did not like it Scott-I-Am-Not. I should have trusted my original order, I should have trusted it Scott-I-Am-Not. If we do come back I expect I'll be less intimidated and try the "Classic Carol" and hope it is more to my liking. read more

Stayed at a hotel across from this place and decided to pop in and give it a try since I LOVE chicken salad. The options were awesome, I didn't realize you could make chicken salad so many ways. I'll tell you what, I was in Heaven. The food is amazing. The customer service is top notch and you absolutely must top it off with the grape salad. My tummy was very happy! Will definitely be back each time I visit Nashville. read more

What a disappointing turn this place has taken. Another (equally dissatisfied) customer told me the place had come under either new management or new ownership. Let me simply say this: when a customer asks what is in a dish, you tell them. You don't leave anything out. There are many reasons for a customer to ask, including dietary restrictions and food allergies. When the same customer returns a food item because it contained said restricted ingredients, the proper thing to do is to apologize and offer a replacement. When I returned a dish last night, I got neither. I could certainly have insisted on both. But when I see a management that doesn't have the basic sense to make the offer, I'm looking at a failure. At the time, the manager appeared to be the lone adult in a kitchen and front filled with children. Not returning to this garbage establishment. The City Limits is right down the road. Give these losers a miss. read more

Everything has been so delicious this month. I have picked up twice and it was great both times. I know there has been staffing issues but the ladies at the drive thru have been great. Hang in there, you're doing great! read more

We liked it, but the menu is confusing. We each had an Olivia's Old South chicken salad sandwich - one on toast and the other on white bread. They are huge and we each brought a half home. Sweet iced tea was good and tasted fresh. The staff was helpful and my toasted sandwich was good both there and the next morning for breakfast. But, for $17.44 I was kinda in the neutral range on the place. I saw it compared to Newk's and I think Newk's is better with a greater variety. This place, though, does specialize in chicken salad so a comparison is not really fair, I guess. BTW, I couldn't do a check-in as there was no wi-fi there. Temporary or by design? It does keep customers from setting up shop a la Starbucks. read more

Yum! We had the chicken salad with grapes & nuts ( can't remember the name they called it) & the pimento cheese. It's VERY VERY GOOD! We'll be back, again and again! It was delicious. read more

Absolutely awful experience and your girl working the drive thru (02-26-21 @ 2pm) we drove up, she asked us to wait (no problem) ten mins go by, we can't and don't get a response over the speaker .. so we pulled up to the window. Still ready to order. We were asked to wait she was taking a different order, again (we are still fine) we waited, then she opens the windows and tells us she will not be taking our order at all??? We waited and waited and planned to spend $40 worth on your chicken salad that we love. But all we got was waited time and a rude girl that obviously can't run a window. We will NOT be back and will be passing along our experience. read more

Always great when I need my chicken salad fix!! I always get the Fancy Nancy (no, I am not embarrassed!!) and the croissants make the perfect sandwich. read more

Have always enjoyed their classic chicken salad, it's perfection. Today I tried the chicken artichoke spinach soup. Wow! So tasty and fresh. Please try it and help me keep this on the menu. The interior is cute and comfortable. read more

I will most likely return to CSC. But this is because of the location. I just might have lived in Nashville for too long. As I ate the Kickin' Kay Lynn salad on greens all my mind did was wander to how I wasn't at The Picnic and this wasn't a scoop salad. CSC is a bright space, friendly staff and has a good variety of lunch foods. The Bellevue One location is easy to get in and out of, the fast service was a bonus. This is a counter service set up with very attentive staff. They stopped by our table a handful of times during our visit. If you like chicken salad, you need to try CSC. They offer samples if you want to try a few before picking your meal. read more

It has been a while since I've been to one of these places and I can tell you it will not be that long again. The barbecue chicken salad on a croissant is absolutely delicious!... Honestly I don't think you can go wrong with any of the flavors on the menu. read more

Nice place, good experience. It reminds me of a Newk's, but elevated and better quality. Lots of staff present and moved fairly quickly. I tried the classic chicken salad on wheat and broccoli cheese soup. It was pretty tasty. I also got a pimento cheese and kelli's cranberry chic salad to go in a tub. I loved the cranberry chicken salad the best and the pimento cheese was good. Prices are pretty good, too. I like how the chicken was perfectly chopped up- no big chunks. A lot of times I'll grab to-go chicken salad from the Picnic and it's chunky and expensive! This is reasonable and the staff was friendly. Everything was tasty and I will be back. read more
