“If y’all are going to have fried catfish, y’all need to have hush puppies. Not that sweet thick cornbread… it was terrible. Sorry to complain, but know I’m not the only one. Everyone loves hush puppies with fried catfish. Do yall even listen to what your customers are requesting?“

“Just swung by Chicken Salad Chick for lunch, tucked away off Jackson Avenue in Oxford. This marked my second visit, and just like the first, it did not disappoint. While there was a slight hiccup with limited options around 1:30, the array of chicken salads was still impressive. Surprisingly, shortages led to an early closure, as indicated by a sign, but that didn't dampen the flavors we enjoyed. The Jalapeño Holly brought a satisfying kick, while the Kickin’ Kay Lynne delighted with its buffalo sauce, ranch, bacon, cheddar cheese, jalapeños, and Sriracha blend. The Fruity Fran, boasting Fuji apples, seedless grapes, and pineapple, offered a refreshing contrast. Sides like the subtly sweet broccoli salad and the delightful pasta salad complemented the mains perfectly. Service remained top-notch, with staff graciously describing menu options, despite some being unavailable. A definite return stop on future Oxford visits. Four stars simply due to the limited menu on this visit.“

“Two tables seated after me were served first, and it took 15 minutes to order a cocktail. Water wasn't served until afterwards. The appetizer was served with the meal. This was reflected in my mediocre tip. I had the catfish cutlets and redfish, both delicious, followed by gingerbread cheesecake.“

Each person I spoke with was beyond kind and seemed to really care. The food was PHENOMENAL. Everyone raved over the food both nights. I would recommend Taylor Grocery 100x over!“
