    This is a pretty good place to eat. The food was good, as was the staff. My husband had a Reuben and I had a roast beef cheddar sandwich. We also had the chicken tortilla soup which was very good and potato salad. They have a good selection. Only one thing troubled me and that was the ceiling that is messed up and the service area, otherwise very nice place. Plenty of room to sit and enjoy food.

    Smells great... quality of wrap.... ehhhhh. It's more hollow than one of those cheap Chocolate Easter Bunnies. Soup was good.Service was quick. But, no it's the no meat that got me. Come on yall.

    We are plant-exclusive eaters, and leave many restaurants with "We should have stayed home." Not here! The food was fresh, hot food was hot, the cold food was cold. We were able to order everything to our taste. I was surprised this is a chain, as I've never heard of it or seen one before. The property was extremely clean and comfortable, and there was no LOUD awful music at lunchtime. I had a giant baked potato with vegetables, hold the cheese (spinach, broccoli, bell peppers and red onions...ordered with double vegetables for $1 more) and the veggie chili (it has delicious beans and is completely meatless). My boyfriend had the veggie wrap, hold the mayo and a side of steamed broccoli with a plain baked potato. Of course we poured the chili on the spuds!! We immediately looked up the name, and there's one not too far from home, so we'll definitely be showing up there soon! Well done, ladies and gentlemen! Thank you. We left with no regrets.

    they don't offer the best sandwich anymore -- muffalatta! I would give them a zero for this one bad thing. Don't bother going.

I've had this place bookmarked to try for months and finally had it today. It did not disappoint! Shoestring fries with just the right amount of seasoning/perfect crispy freshness and a large pressed cubano was my lunch. The ladies running the show were friendly and helpful. When I say this Cuban was Stupid Good, this is what I mean: have you ever eaten something so good you involuntarily make noises that sound like awesome bedroom stuff is happening? Yeah?! Embarrassing. Who cares though cus it's so damn good! 10 out of 10. I'm coming back sooner than I should. Don't skip this place. The ONLY thing I'd recommend that could possibly make this place better? Seed oil free mayo/cooking oil, etc and beef tallow fries! I'd pay extra for same items if Albelo decides to go full on MAHA here. Just my 2 cents!

Neither of us were in the mood for a bunch of bread, so I know that a sandwich spot seems like an odd choice, but Albelo's had us covered. Many of their sandwiches can be served as a "protein bowl" so we opted to do that with their Philly Steak. You cannot do that with all of their sandwiches, which we learned after a slightly awkward back and forth between us, the cashier, and the chef. But we landed on something that was satisfactory and both the chef and the cashier expressed care that my son and I were happy with our choice. The place is a little small and indoor seating is limited, so keep that on your radar. But the food was fantastic and both my son and I resolved that we need to go back and try other options on the menu.

But for real the customer service was amazing the guy taking the orders was friendly the guy cooking was amazing as well, they were slow the food came out fast I got the og combo they used 2 chicken tenders for each sandwich one of my tenders was dry and the other one was juicy you can tell it was sitting for a little bit of time the fries on the other hand were fried fresh so they were on point all in all 6 out of 10 on the og. The buffalo mac and cheese combo was better both pieces of chicken tenders were juicy and had a nice little kick so this one was 8 out of 10. Because it's inside a Walmart may be the reason they are slow but they should really do all sandwiches to order meaning they should fry it to order once they are more busy then start doing a few more pieces at a time.

I went home and checked my receipt and my order, they didn't match. My fault I suppose. Even though this was not what we had wanted we ate it as no one was going back dealing with Saturday traffic. The chicken O.G. Sandwich was pretty tasty and very filling and the other thing in the bag was the Loaded Fries that had the crispy chicken on top and I'm thinking melted cheese, scallions and bacon crumbles. This was ok but it probably would have been better if eaten there and hot. I had wanted to try the Chicken Guy just to see how it was in comparison to all the other chain chicken places and the food is decent comparatively but from what I've heard from others and this experience I do think that they probably could use better service.

    I had gone this past week to Chicken Salad Chick it was convenient after my Dr's appointment. I've…read morealways passed this place but never thought to go in until my son had said that he had heard good things about the place! For a semi fast food restaurant it is healthier than others foods obviously but the fat in these foods is insane and there really aren't any low calorie, low fat meal alternatives so this does baffle me when they quote healthy. I guess this depends on what you are looking for. Aside from this they do have wonderful fresh chicken salad and they serve you a nice plate that is quite enjoyable. They offer delicious sides, soups and desserts! It's very clean, you order at the counter then sit to eat. It's a very simple process but they seem to get pretty busy fast although this didn't seem to cause any issues as everything was managed smoothly. The whole concept the way it was run reminded me of Chick-fil-A but much better food and options. It's even closed on Sunday! I had a scoop of chicken salad, broccoli salad on the side with a pickle . What I enjoyed is that it there were a dozen different flavors of chicken salad ! This is a fun thing, you can try more than one and if you want to be adventurous you can try them all or take home a bunch and have a chicken salad party ! Seriously though there is something for everyone. I had the "Cranberry Kelli" which is sweet cranberries, slivered almonds blended and balanced perfectly. A favorite plate is the trio where you get 3 scoops of 3 different salads or the same or egg/pimento cheese on a bed of lettuce, or as a sandwich, a cup of soup, a pickle and a cookie. Some of the desserts looked delicious too! I wish that there was more than soda and water I was supposed that there wasn't even a cup of coffee. This to me I couldn't believe but maybe I'm expecting too much. It's definitely worth the visit stop in and enjoy!

We've always been intrigued by it when we see their billboard along Hwy 200, so this day was the day we'd try it. We walked in a clean and inviting space, proceeded to the counter to peruse their menu and placed our order. My wife, as a tribute to her late mom who loved chicken salad sandwiches with apples and pecans she would order from a local grocery store, opted for the Fancy Nancy on a croissant. As a side, she chose the potato chips. I was eying the jalapeño chicken but after asking the lady behind the counter what their best seller is, I pivoted and ordered the same sandwich as my wife but I had the Poblano Chicken soup as a side. The chicken salad tasted fresh with some sweetness imparted by the grapes. I thought it would've been better if I had bacon in it for some saltiness. The soup was tasty! Wished I had more of it than what was served in a small cup. Lunch for 2 with tip came out to just under $26. Good value, friendly and efficient service, and good grub.

I walk with a cane & I had brought my dog. I rather doubt I'll be back. I'd rather go any of the other WEC restaurants where the staff is gracious to the level of Disney gracious. Staff were not at all on par with the rest of WEC, well at least not the blond young woman that waited on me. She did smile upon arrival, but their tone was condescending and obviously an old, plump lady didn't fit her idea of who to be nice to. I ordered quickly, as I came to just try the place out and figured the Ralph's burger was the way to go. I felt all the staff sort of walked around her and gave her a wide berth and frankly all looked nervous. Is there a tyrant there? Layout: is odd! Condiments are on the far right end of the counter, yet the utensils and beverages are on the opposite wall. The girl who took my order said nothing about that. I was surprised to get a burger with no condiments on it. I ordered coffee and they give you a cup and it's self-service, which is perfectly fine, but the tea and coffee were not labeled or if they are, then it's up over 5 feet, I tipped 18%, not my usual 20%*, as it's counter service. I assume that's divided up, as the staff cleaning tables were quick & efficient, as well as pleasant. Maybe blond girl was having a bad day, but if that's the case - don't share it. I was there on June 4th, 2026. Since this is not a chain fast food restaurant and they apparently don't put condiments on the burgers, I think having them on the table would be better. Worst service in Ocala all due to one girl.
