“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.“

“My absolute favorite place ever! I have to go and eat here every time I'm in Mississippi! The food is amazing, the staff members are the best, the views are super and the environment is exceptional! 100 plus stars! (I haven't been able to afford to buy a tee shirt from there yet, but one day I'll be able to get one.) I live in N.C. by the way.“

“we had the pleasure to find this amazing establishment. the food was absolutely fantastic. we definitely will be making a trip again. customer service was everything and Mr Sam gave us great hospitality. 10 out of 10“

“Love it , definitely will be returning 🥰🥰“

“This is a great place to check out for a dinner date or just to casually hang out.

The staff here is very nice and everyone seemed very knowledgeable regarding the menu.

The food is good here I wasn't to impressed with the oystery's that I chose but everything else was fantastic!

The highlight of the experience here is definitely the Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake it's a must try!“

“I love the food. It costs to eat there but it well worth it. They serve BIG portions. I ate off that chicken parmesean plate 3x before it was gone lol. The drinks are good. U gotta try the georgia peach and order the turnip green bites for an appetizer.“

“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.“

“the gentlemen at the register and the ladies in the kitchen are super nice. I wanted some soul food and that's what I got. and it was so good. I also noticed the cleanliness around the back to the kitchen. me my daughter and her dad enjoyed the vibe too. lots of love in that place.“

“We had an absolutely fantastic dining experience at Georgia Blue in Flowood! The star of the show was hands down the Chicken Burger—it was incredibly flavorful, juicy, and cooked to absolute perfection. Pair that with fries that were perfectly crispy and seasoned just right, and it was a flawless meal.

What made the night even better was the top-tier hospitality. A huge shoutout to Kirstin and Cayden, who were our servers. They were attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Excellent food and unmatched service—we will definitely be back!“

“We eat lunch here occasionally and it’s always delicious! We decided to try out the breakfast and my gosh it was awesome! Emily is an absolute gem of an employee! She’s professional, kind and helpful. You’re lucky to have her 💕“

“Thank you so much for putting together the tray! Everyone loved!!! 5 Star!!! Scrumptious ♥️“

“The meatloaf sandwich was delicious! Love all the paintings on the wall. Great atmosphere!“

“Martin’s in Flora never disappoints. Our recent visit—like many before it—checked all the boxes: great atmosphere, excellent food, attentive service, and very reasonable prices. It’s one of our go-to favorites, and we’ll definitely be back.“

“Betsie the Manager at the Primo's off Flowood really went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. Another staff member did not set aside my muffins- so Betsie apologized and asked if she could re-make them for me and have fresh ones the next day! What a treat! Thank you again Betsie for making it right!“

“First time trying out this quaint little cafe’ and I can’t say enough about our experience. It was great. Tommy, our gentleman of a waiter, was excellent. He was attentive, funny, & personable. The food was fantastic! GET! THE! FRIED! TOMATOES! Soooo yum!“

“Had an amazing brunch at Char today. We’re new to the area and truly enjoyed the atmosphere and hospitality that was shown to us! The food was delicious, and our waiter Jazz was so personable and attentive. The manager Dees spoke to us for a long time and welcomed us into the restaurant and Jackson area. Highly recommend. We will be back soon.“

“Cassidy is top notch! Every time I pick up lunch from Grant's, she is phenomenal! The food is good but the service is outstanding.“

“We got an order to go. We had trouble hearing the boy on the audio. Chicken Salad was chicken and the dressing to make it wet. I ordered Classic Carrol and the other was supposedly to have fruit in it. We found a half of a grape.
One boy behind the counter on his phone.
Don’t know if we will be back.“

“This is one of the most beautiful places to dine in Jackson. The food, drinks, atmosphere.... servers, bartenders.... absolutely everything is great. Expect a lovely upscale, yet laid-back environment. They are not expedient, but they are well worth the visit!!!“

“I can’t say enough good things about the staff—they were incredibly kind, helpful, and hardworking. multitasking constantly, I never once saw anyone on their phone—they were fully focused on doing their jobs, and doing them well. If you were working the night shift around 5:30–6:30, thank you for your dedication and kindness! The food was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and delicious. The broccoli and rice casserole was packed with flavor, the Mexican cornbread was phenomenal, and the chicken on a stick was hot, juicy, and perfectly cooked. Highly recommend!“

“We came Saturday the food was Awesome we ate it naked with nothing on it. Great Job we coming back“

“I’ve been here a few times. As long as it’s not packed out, the food and drinks come fast. Of course, more people longer wait times. Came for a bday brunch. I got salmon breakfast. It was cooked a lil too long for my liking but other than that I have no complaints! The music was nice, not too young of a vibe. The inside is clean and stuff is friendly.“

“Enjoy it will be back soon“
