Chicken Salad Chick

It's pretty good. Their cookies are good.

One just opened in Mandeville. It was a shitshow of an opening but the bacon chicken salad and jalapeño pimento cheese were really good

It's all soccer moms all day.

You can get it on a sandwich or alone. I think they do catering so you can probably get it by the pint or so.

I like the Dixie Chick (has onions) and the pimento cheese. Didn't love the lemon basil and another that I can't recall, but I think it had bacon and cheddar.

Sure, you can make it at home, but sometimes when you're at work and looking for something to pick up, it's nice to have another option.

There's one here in Lafayette in a very strange location.

Is this a state local chain? I've never heard of it.

The place has been packed everyday.

I went to fresh market at like 1:30 Saturday and there was still a line out onto 22 back to the redlight. I can't imagine what that did to traffic at lunch.

Genius idea. Although im not a huge fan of chicken salad, every woman I know is.


This would tear up where i live in the Frisco/Plano/McKinney area of Texas. shite i might franchise one, lol.

There are two in Lafayette. One in the oil center and the one on Ambassador.
