“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.“

The house salad with pears and blue cheese crumbles was fantastic. If we ever get back to this area, we are definitely going back and I'm definitely getting that salad. The fish tacos were really good. My hubby got the chili sauce on the side and that worked great for him. Our server was fabulous! She was so much fun! This is probably in my top 10 restaurants.“

The food is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!
I didn't get the cooks name, but she came out to converse with us.
She's very friendly & a beast in the kitchen!

Don't sleep on her chicken & waffles!
My guest had omelets & they were very impressed!!!

I want to give it 10/10, but it didn't meet my standards with cleanliness. It's okay, but I saw lots of room for improvement in that department.“
