“I just moved here to Georgia, and was happy to try CSC, because I had seen videos of it on TikTok. I was immediately greeted by the SWEETEST worker! I told Nyla, that it was my first time here at CSC, and she gave me the run down of the menu, popular picks, and let me sample several flavors. My taste buds were blown away, by the different mild, bold, sweet and spicy flavors. I became an instant fan!

Nyla went above and BEYOND with her customer service, made me feel so welcomed and made my first experience here at Chicken Salad Chick such positive and memorable one. I definitely will be returning to get my CSC. The only “negative” part of this first time experience was trying to choose which flavors to take home with me. I kept it to 4, haha.“

“Came before the weekend dinner rush with two small kids and they were very accommodating for our group of 5. Food was delicious. It was my DIL's first time eating Thai, and she's now a fan. My son and I like authentic spicy and level 2 was about right - hot enough to feel the heat without being uncomfortable. But if you aren't used to truly spicy food, go with 1. Even that was a little spicy for my DIL.“

They have a fairly new general manager, Michelle, and she is doing great things at this location. I enjoyed getting to chat with her for a few minutes. If you are in the mall, stop in and say hi, and grab you a Ruby Relaxer while you're at it. Highly recommend.“

“This Chick-fil-A is my absolute favorite. Everyone that works there is always friendly and willing to help with whatever we need. It always seems as if their food is the freshest and they always take time to talk to the kids when we come in. They even have fun events often for the kids the manager there is really nice too. My kids absolutely love to playground there. It is always clean. The bathrooms are always clean as well and that is very important to me because I want my kids to always have clean bathrooms. My kids love to play with the cow mascot when it comes out the cow mascot is always friendly and takes time to play with the kids. We go here about once a week and we love this place. The prices aren’t that bad either they have a really good chicken sandwich and I love their Chick-fil-A sauce. My son usually gets chicken fingers and loves the ranch and also puts ranch on his chicken fingers thank you Chick-fil-A for always making it a great experience for me and the family. We will definitely be going back again soon probably this week ha ha“

“Love the clean tables and playground. Always fun to bring my grandchild. Enjoyed the quickness of ordering on the app then scanning the code on the table for quick service. They did not bring my diet peach lemonade over right away with the food. 😞 Then forgot the milk and I had to go to the counter to ask for it. Not super busy so someone should recheck orders before they bring them to the table. We enjoyed it once we received it all. As usual always amazing taste.“
