Niki's Food Shop - Chicken Salad - American Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Very good grilled chicken salad. Service is fast and hours are good portions are good as well

Food was terrible!!! Tiny portions of canned black eye peas, potato salad with lettuce leaves mixed in and the toughest pepper steak I've ever tasted! Way overpriced! Literally fed it to my dog! (she wasn't happy either) read more

I ordered the perch breakfast and I notice that the filets are much smaller now. No one can top their salads though

I can't attest to much on their menu but HOLY BATMAN! the salads here are a must! The Niki Salad is covered in grilled chicken and is much more than just one meal. The chicken is seasoned very well and this is what makes the salad. The veggies on the salad are always fresh. And on a recent visit, tried the shrimp salad and this was just as good. Covered in fried shrimp goodness. What would really knock my socks off is if they offered a grilled shrimp salad. Call in your orders ahead of time because they can get very, very business. Service is always good and they are very friendly here. read more

Great food. As always I got the famous Niki's Salad. This was my first time on a Saturday. Place is small and the was no public restrooms, not even for customers. Maybe due to COVID-19. Wish there was a little more tomatoes but this salad is legendary. Also noticed they were very busy but no one was cleaning or tending waiting area. read more

First time here and I must say the food is great! Going to start coming here for lunch. Tip : If you are short on time order ahead and make sure to bring cash! read more

So this spot is a hood favorite for this side of Charlotte. We stopped in for a bit of nostalgia, as we moved away five years ago and do miss their famous cheese grits! I will be the first to say the owners (and kids) can have major attitude at times and sometimes be a bit disrespectful. I make sure to set the tone when I interact with them. Just in case they are reading this review, I would like to leave this nugget. "The very neighborhood that has made you the fortune it has, deserves respect. You are the foreigner in their community and although we may not look like you, live like you or "move" like you... it makes us no less then human. On to the review... *The cooks in the back are phenomenal and you're able to see them from the front of restaurant hard at work. *The food is GREAT. Salads are divine and HUGE. *All the fried foods are lip-smacking good *The cheese grits are sinful, with lots of quality cheddar cheese and butter used. *The restaurant ambiance is not desirable, so you may want it to go! Also if you're not use to diverse walks of life this is not the spot for you! *They are good with to-go orders. They will package it up just right, with utensils and everything. read more

The Nikis Salad is so delicious! I've only ever had that and the bacon egg and cheese sandwich for breakfast. Nikis is a hole in the wall but definitely a Charlotte staple. Pay not attention to the exterior as the food here is great. They close early at 3 during the week and 1 on the weekend so plan accordingly! read more

This place is close to my job I really would have gotten a better burger at Burger King this is my 3rd time coming here and it will definitely be my last I ordered burger and fries and a side of okra my fries where almost burnt dark and crispy and my okra was cold how the 1st time I got the grill chicken salad it was disgusting to say the least my salad was full of grease. How? The second time was for breakfast I ordered home fries they where still potatoes yes hard as if they just came out the ground. I'm not sure what everyone sees in such a DUMP. NEVER AGAIN I would rather pay more and get at my Desk SMH Seriously y'all should really branch out this read more

This food is awesome. I had country style steak with rice with gravy with yams and green beans. It was all good. The country style steak was delicious!! I wish the yams had more juice. The sweet tea was amazing! Pretty sure I'm a diabetic now because of it. Mac and cheese is only served on Monday, Wednesday and Friday... Also, ***THIS IS A CASH ONLY RESTAURANT*** read more

The breakfast here is amazing but every time you go up there or call they stop serving it at different times. The customer service is awful, like even the owner is awful but at least the food is pretty good. I ordered a fried shrimp salad and I was kind of annoyed that the lettuce and dressing weren't cold but it is a huge salad. Btw don't order more than 2 drinks they put them in paper baggssss! I spilled that delicious lemonade in my car and I was pissed. Overall it's an okay place.. like I said earlier the breakfast is the best. read more

Niki's Food Shop - This salad was not good. The shrimp was okay but the lettuce and dressing weren't even cold. Disappointed. - American Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

They have the best salad in Charlotte and I mean that and their lemonade is to die for I would recommend this place to anyone the only downfall is the parking the parking lot is very small so I always park across the street and just walk over but please get you a Nikki salad and make sure you have cash because that's all the accept wish they didn't because I never carry cash so that's the only inconvenience I have to stop at an atm before I go it's 2018 no one carries cash anymore lol read more

Heard the burgers were good here, so decided to give it a shot. It's cash only and everything seemed to be cook to order. I got a double cheeseburger and it was huge! The taste was just so so and a little dry. Would like to go back and try some of the lunch specials. read more

Moved from this side of town 20 yrs ago, but every blue moon, would return to get a Niki's salad, it's quite good. Recently, visited this location for a salad but requested one more dressing packet, aside from the two they give. Normally, I'll have additional same dressing at home to supplement, but didn't this time . If you know a Niki's salad, it's foundation is an abundance of plain lettuce, cleverly layered with thin layer of tasteful toppings. Giving the impression you're getting more, than you actually are. Well, the request was met by a one dollar asking, for just an additional dressing packet. I've never experienced that much, from any place, selling salads. Maybe 25 cents additional, if any at all. I declined the additional dressing. Considering this shop has prospered EXCLUSIVELY from low income African Americans, locally for decades. I find such a hefty charge as contempt, for the demographic supporting this shop. I'll let this be my last visit and I hope they're giving back to that community, with such hefty condiment charges. read more

Food good but they rude af.... the lady in there keeps her face squinched up she has a nasty attitude

This is the BEST spot on the Ford!! He has been around for yearrrsssss and respected in the community! He is more than just a business he is a pillar in the community!! CHECK HIM OUT! read more

The food is good. I don't care for the grits but that could be me. The porkchops are huge and crispy and tender. There isn't much sit down so taking it to go was better than trying to feed my brood there. I haven't had the salad yet but I heard about before the yelper reviews I read. Next time I pick my kid up early from Northwest I will grab a salad. Breakfast is busy so be prepared but they do keep it moving. I will definitely review again once I get that salad. read more

The Nikis salad is so good. Enough for 3 people to share. Chicken is flavorful and the salad is loaded with toppings. Absolutely worth 7 bucks. I wish they were open longer so I could catch them off of work. read more

Food is good but can be very, very salty!! Quick service, but i do suggest you call in and pick up. Parking is a nightmare. If you don't know, you will be told immediately and multiple times, "cash only". Must be one of the rules of hood operations. read more
