Who doesn't love really good chicken salad? If they don't, they need to come here and be converted! This is not your run of the mill chicken salad! They have many variations and I'm still working on which is my favorite!
The location is easy to get in and out of except during the busiest of lunch rushes. So adjust your schedule slightly. :) There is plenty of parking then! As you walk up, you'll see the outdoor patio seating with the quaint colorful umbrellas, tables and chairs. The interior is also as bright and cheerful as outside. The menu board is not well placed so look for a menu on top of the half wall along the queue.
My last trip was to grab something quick on the way back to the office. I tried real hard not to slobber all over the place as I walked up to the counter. The thought of their chicken salad had my mouth really watering! I opted for the Classic Salad with with Olivia's Old South Chicken Salad (Olivia obviously knew what I liked). I also grabbed one of the buttercream flower cookies (so much for trying to eat better).
This time, the salad mix was really fresh (a couple of times, it wasn't as fresh as it should have been). The mix has Frisée, Butter Lettuce, and Radicchio plus some others. It does resemble a Mesclun mix which my tender tummy really loves. The chicken salad scoop of choice is placed upon that wonderful bed of lettuce. The chicken salad is finely chopped, diced and shredded plus mixed with some other magical flavors. Just give me a quart of it and I'd eat nothing but that! OH, they do sell it in larger sizes as you walk up to the counter so you can create your own culinary masterpiece!
The to go packaging is absolutely like my mother would have done it. Roomy containers, plenty of dressing, lots of crackers (Lance Wheat Twins) and a delicious dill pickle slice. PLUS a small butter cream cookie!
As for drinks, they have the standard Coke offerings plus a really good lemonade and teas. I'm trying to do the lighter thing and enjoy the Lemonade Light.
The staff is friendly and helpful!
The price is pretty good for the quality and experience! I'm a new regular now, I was converted!
