You seat yourself when a table opens up—you better hurry because they fill up quick lol The food is delicious, the staff is so kind and attentive and the prices are unbeatable for such a good deal!! I’m always pleased when I go!“

“Jami Lee worked hard to give good service. They were busy food was great service was awesome.“

“Have you ever been somewhere where you meet no strangers? That has been my experience every time at Chicken Salad Chick in Tanglewood Mall. This team, led by Jeremy, is absolutely amazing. Everyone treats you with the same kindness, the service is fast, and they always find a way to say yes to the customer — never a no. It’s just a genuinely great experience every visit.

Thank you, Jeremy, and thank you, Roma, for the excellent service you gave me the other day as I was trying to decide what to get for my mom in the hospital. God bless you all!“

“So happy we found this restaurant after a very lengthy overly delayed flight\ngetting here. Could not have asked for a more diverse menu. If you can not find something on their menu then you are not hungry. You can even eat healthy if you chose! That said they have so many wonderful things to splurge on. Onion rings, chicken tenders, burgers etc.. we had grilled fish and steak that were very good!! We will be back as we visit family here and will tell all extended family haw nice it is. Do be prepared for a wait as it is quite popular obviously with locals too.“

“We have been here twice and the service and food are excellent! We enjoyed dinner and breakfast. This has become one our favorite restaurants. We really enjoyed the jazz music at the dinner service last night. We highly recommend this restaurant!“

“We stopped in on our way from Alabama to CT. I have never had BBQ chicken as juicy as theirs. Crispy and flavorful skin. The smoke penetrated into the meat but not too heavily. Absolutely perfectly done. Fried green tomatoes were out of this world. The brisket was competition good. Nice smoke ring but not too much with just the right amount of pull. We will make this place our must stop at place whenever in the area. We highly recommend.“

“Food was amazing. Services was excellent. Highly recommend.“
