The menu has a variety of choices and I needed up choosing the reprieve Nashville hot chicken meal with fries. It was quick, the food was really fresh, and the food was well seasoned. I highly recommend eating at this place. 🙌🏼🔥“

“Very Exciting News!!!

For the last several years when my daughter and I have gone to visit our family in Georgia they introduced us to this cute little restaurant called Chicken Salad Chick. After the 1st time it quickly became a favorite of ours, so every time we visit our family they know that we will be going to Chicken Salad Chick at least 2-3 times each visit.

Prior to 2021 we never even knew such a place existed.
It’s such a great meal, very light & flavorful, you just can’t go wrong with anything.

My daughter and I live in IL, so I have been checking the website to see if there was any chance that they would be opening any in our area.
I did find a few in Illinois, but they were all pretty far south from where I live, outside of Chicago.

The other day I happened to check the website again & I was thrilled to see that one recently opened in Glen Ellyn, IL.

I contacted my daughter immediately and we went the next day.
Not only was everything delicious as usual, but we had an overall wonderful experience.
The store was exceptionally clean.
Sonia, the general manager on staff, was very kind and welcoming.
The entire staff that was working there were all very friendly.
We love the menu, but the Grape Salad is our absolute favorite 💕

Glen Ellyn is still about a 40-minute drive for us if the traffic cooperates, but absolutely worth it.

The only thing I would love to see is a location open closer to the Schaumburg area!

Thank you to the franchise owners for taking a chance and opening up a couple in IL, we wish you much success and continued growth and expansion.
For anyone that has not been to a Chicken Salad Chick Restaurant, I would highly recommend.
Each chicken salad is so flavorful, they also have unique sides & yummy desserts.
Many gluten free options as well.
I wish I could give more than 5 stars
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
