Chicken Salad Chick?

Seems a new Southern franchise Is opening nearby and this will be the Northernmost outpost. Only has 150 outlets in 17 states and most are in the South and Southeast. 

I’m game to try, but can’t get there until next week at best. 

Any suggestions?

    I had a few bites of the "classic" on crackers last week for the first time and thought it was good for store bought. I'd eat it again with no reservations.
    Hope this helps.

    We like it. Looks like a simple restaurant to operate too. Haven’t been lately with the virus stuff but before that about once a month.

    I ordered from their catering a while back for an office full of folks.  They liked it.  The female members of the office loved it!

    Had it a couple times over the past couple years and just had one open up nearby that I haven’t been to yet. It’s pretty good, but if I’m going out to eat I don’t crave chicken salad too frequently.

    Pretty solid. Lots of different options. I usually get one called Cranberry Kelly. Almonds and Cranberry. It’s a bit pricey for a small container. About 12 bucks.

    I like chicken salad. Bookmarked their menu page for ideas when making it. No stores remotely close to me.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    going to stick with these, virginia is too far a drive for me.  this is a town favorite in methuen, been eating them most of my life, simple is sometimes just better. funny how they spelled it, its a chicken bahb. the trick is adding the broth back in as you serve it pressing excess broth out between two slotted spoons

    We have one nearby. I thought it was a good healthier option for quick service lunch. Chicken wasn't cooked to death and all the flavors are good enough.

    They make great travel sized containers for trips. We take them to the lake for easy weekend lunches. They make a lot of different kinds and all the ones I have tried have been solid.

    For better or worse, we order for our office from time to time.  I could do without them, but as aforementioned, the ladies love it.  Well, my brother does, too.  Anyway, the food is decent, but pricey IMO.  I say try it and see what you think.  I’m not overly impressed.  🤔

    Wife brings some home occasionally. Grapes in Chicken salad is just wrong. Grapes are grown for wine....not chicken salad.

    I think grapes sound great. The cranberry might be better though.

    Too bad I can't let you try my kick-butt diced chicken breasts, white grapes, celery and almonds dish I make that has a mayo, half & half and other stuff dressing. That would make a believer out of you of marrying chicken and grapes!

    Funny the timing of this thread. On my way back from lunch I noticed they are building a new one of these near me! Must be getting popular.

    They opened one up in our town not to long ago. I’ve eaten there once. Didn’t care for it. When I want chicken salad I make my own. I do put green seedless grapes in mine.
