If you can, order early and ahead. The man will take his time preparing your order and you will not say a word, until your order is ready. When he calls you to the window, every sense should begin to tingle because your about to devour a unique plate of food. I decided on the chicken strips and fries. Sounds pretty simple, right? Yeah, except for one thing... these chicken strips are PERFECT! The crunch of the breading, the moist "tender" white chicken meat melt into the perfectly spiced crust and there you will sit wondering, how? How? How does he do it??? Well there's no use pondering that question. It doesn't matter after you take another bite. Nothing. Not even the great fries.

My sister and I have been trying to get to this food truck for a while. We finally made it out on a…read moreWednesday. Definitely worth the ride. On our first trip I was so amazed with the food I forgot to post a review. I had oxtails, yams, and mac & cheese. Oxtails were on a bed of rice with a very tasty gravy. Yams were on point. The Mac & cheese was good, however black pepper taste forward. Portions were big so I was able to have the oxtail for lunch the following day. Today I went with fried chicken wings, yams, and red beans. Another great dinner! If you're out in Manor stop by and chat with Fred Nunn. He's hilarious and a wonderful soul food chef,

It's that truly great, midwestern feel…read moresandwich shop that you get before your day on the boat, the kind that keeps you going all day, and keeps you coming back for more! After saying "we need to go there" at least 30 times, we finally went there and boyyy howdy it did not disappoint! The Cuban and club were 10/10 perfect! The bread was so fresh, crispy where it needed to be, and buttery in all the right places. It was a perfectly balanced sandwich ratio, not too thick, not too thin, and came with chips or potato salad. The in-house beer is great, and there's something for anyone's tastes, plus non alcoholic options. We sat outside with our pups on the dog friendly patio, which is fully covered and shaded, with tons of great seating options. I recommend going into the shop and seeing every thing they have to offer that isn't listed on the menu, plus the GREAT beer tap and can selections they have in store!

The parking is shared and gets packed in the evening or you have to pay to park if you are unable to find anything in the lot or on the street. Handsome Dans has a sign directing you to the back where they are located. The vibe is true to a bait shop/diner it's casual with a rustic feel, they have a large covered patio adjacent to Stargazer bar. I highly suggest sitting outside if possible because the inside does get a bit claustrophobic and smokey when it's packed and they are smashing paninis on the press with no proper kitchen overhead vents. The type of greasy smoke you get when you are making super buttery sandwiches on a hot press. The sandwiches are ok but not something I would go out of my way to have ,our kids liked the hotdogs and Frito pies which were also kind of "upper class" gas station quality. Most of the stuff here is food that probably tastes way better after drinking several beers. It's like any normal sandwich you could make at home and toss in a panini press to be honest. Really good beers on tap and friendly staff who seemed to disappear to the back quite a bit and came back confused. They didn't know if they had already given me my food because I was ordering and paying for extra food after more people in our party arrived. They literally saw my food I already had on the table from my previous order and thought they gave me double of what I ordered hahaha. I can't make a judgment because I have no clue what they kept dispersing to the back for but can just say the confusion was real, LOL. All together if I had to come back it be because someone I knew wanted to try it. Otherwise for me it's a one and done. I got the pictures I stood next to a sign ,I had the Signiture sandwiches, now I'm moving on. I can say I've been there done that. I'm guessing that a college crowd or just being a single person who just wants to be amongst people that this is the type of lowkey place to go if you're not into the typical Longhorn hangouts. You stop in ,have some beers, eat a low budget ingredient expensive panini sandwich and chill till you have to call yourself a Waymo cause the beer is good and strong.

Being from PA, I'm always skeptical and judgey when it comes to getting one outside of Philly. The owner, Hoody, is from Delaware so...benefit of the doubt given. But, they don't have Whiz. No Whiz= No Philly Cheesesteak. No worries, I opted for a whole Italian which was shared with my boyfriend. It's a decent size and we had leftovers. The Italian sub was balls out yum! Ham, Cap, Cheese, and Salami. Toppings included hot peppers, oil/oregano, onions, pickles, lettuce and tomato. No mustard or mayo, got it on the side. The bun was so fresh it melted in our mouths. The hot peppers and other toppings were fresh and crisp. Top quality meats and cheese. Every single bite was exactly what you want in a good sandwich. In the words of the Terminator, "I'll be back!".

My buddy got the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich and really enjoyed it. My Chicken Katsu Curry was off the charts. The curry was mild and the perfect consistency. The katsu chicken was breaded and cook exactly the way you'd expect from an established well trained chef. A lot of the times when I get katsu it's overcooked and dripping with grease. Not this one! The rice was also done to the T. Plus the portions we're very large and more than I could finish. We'll definitely be back with more friends. Thanks for the awesome food!!!

What really stood out was how involved and caring the owner was throughout our visit. It's rare these days to see an owner so present and attentive, but they were constantly walking around, checking on customers, making sure everyone had what they needed, and creating such a warm, inviting atmosphere. You can tell that customer service is a top priority here. The owner took the time to personally greet guests, ask how their meals were, and make sure everyone was having a great experience. It wasn't rushed or forced--it felt sincere and genuine. That level of hospitality makes a huge difference and is one of the reasons we'll definitely be coming back. The food was fantastic as well. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and served quickly. Whether you're a longtime fan of chicken salad or trying it for the first time, there are so many delicious options to choose from. The portions were generous, and everything tasted homemade and high quality. What impressed me most was the overall atmosphere. The restaurant was clean, organized, and full of friendly staff members who seemed happy to be there. It's clear that the owner has created a positive environment not only for customers but also for employees. When leadership is that caring and involved, it shows in every aspect of the business. If you're looking for a place with great food, outstanding customer service, and owners who truly care about their guests, Chicken Salad Chick is a must-visit. Experiences like this are becoming harder to find, and this location absolutely deserves recognition for going above and beyond. I highly recommend stopping by--you'll leave with a full stomach and a smile on your face! **Highly recommend! We will definitely be returning again and again.**

It's a very cute, no frills, simple cafe that specializes in chicken salad, so if you LOVE chicken salad definitely come here. Fast service, you get your food fast, and you can sample all their chicken salads! Large variety of flavors. I got the 1 scoop meal that comes with chicken salad scoop, crackers, and two sides (if you buy that option). They have rotating daily soups that are delicious, I tried their potato soup and loved it. I enjoyed the combination of crackers and chicken salad. Yes it's a simple combo, but the wheat crackers have a bit of sweetness and it is a great vessel for the chicken salad. - Potato Soup: Warming, comforting, had potato chunks topped with bacon and cheese - Olivia's Old South: I like this one! You get a slight sweet pickled flavor, imagine those sweet pickle vibes - Sassy Scotty: Ranch, bacon, and cheese - felt like a normal chicken salad, nothing too outstanding here - Cranberry Kelli: My choice! Dried cranberries and slivered almonds adding sweetness and a slight crunch - Kickin Kay Lynn: Not my taste... it's buffalo, ranch, and sriracha so it's like a buffalo sourish spice? Overall, you can't go wrong with any of the flavors since you can taste test it first. Fast bite, yummy food. I'd come back

However, the owner/chef takes great pride in customer service so will regularly be out talking to the people in line, asking if they had any questions, and just chatting.
