New Chick in Town: Chicken Salad Chick in Buford, GA

There's a new chick in town, Chicken Salad Chick, that is!!! 

My girls and I were invited to attend their friend's and family event before the big grand opening to try out some of Chicken Salad Chick's delicious menu. The nation's only Southern-inspired, fast-casual chicken salad restaurant concept serves up 12 varieties of chicken salad made fresh every day.

And those who eat chicken salads knows that all is not the same; that's why founder Stacy Brown created original recipes for everyone to enjoy.

Stacy Brown, a stay-at-home mom, founded Chicken Salad Chick by working on her original recipe at home and then taste-tested on her cooperative and wonderful neighbors, giving her kind, honest feedback. Her community loved her chicken salad dishes, and word started spreading, with business booming. But, it came to a halt when the health department contacted Stacy about running an illegal business. But Stacy didn't let that shut down stop her, turning her business into an official restaurant that has been growing fast!

I've been seeing this chicken salad restaurant popping up all over the Atlanta area but never had a chance to drop in until now. I don't know why it took me so long to visit, but I sure was missing out on some good chicken salads.

Walking into this eatery, I noticed how cute and dainty the inside looks. Making you feel like a sophisticated Southern gal! Definitely caters to women, more than men, with the pastel decor.

Our meals were quite tasty, and honestly, I was surprised by this since I'm not a big fan of chicken salads; I'm more into tuna salads.  And my girls don't like chicken salads at all, and even they thought their meals were delicious.
