“Georgia Blue is a consistently good place to eat and be seen!

Great daily lunch specials, with lots of options for sides. The dailies are just good home-cooking.

A full menu with something for everyone. Full bar, beers and apps.

Fried, grilled and sautéed is an option for most entrees.

Try it on country fried steak day. It’s made in house, not from a pre-cooked, frozen patty. White or brown gravy. It’s really a good lunch.

Service has always been friendly and welcoming.

No complaints that matter. Can be crowded…a great “problem” for a restaurant!!“

I had some of the best red fish that I have ever had and my friend said the same about the fillet. The only thing that exceeded the food was the courtesy from the staff. Highly recommend it“

“Chicken Salad Chick has gained a permanent customer because the food is excellent with a very large variety of Chicken Salad’s and it is an extremely healthy meal versus options served at most fast food places. Kicking Kaitlyn is one my favorites and the broccoli salad with the bacon bits and the great salad with the brown sugar but I leave off the pecans are an excellent choice And the meals are not that expensive. I wish they were open mornings because I think the Original chicken salad on a croissant with the slice of cheddar would be something very tasty in the morning time. Here’s to you, Chicken Salad Chick.“

“I get what I always get..
Olivia's Old South on a croissant with an extra scoop & my extra side was grape salad. The whole meal is to die for (not literally, but you know what I mean. ). I even suggested the Olivia's Old South to another soon to be customer of Chicken Salad Chick. She tried another kind but liked Olivia's Old South better. It was just sweet enough for her.“
