“Stopped by for the first time ever today. I was greeted by Montgomery. I placed my order and carried on a conversation with Montgomery while i waited. He was a total sweetheart. I got back to the office and opened my food. Oh my....the biscuit and gravy was a very generous portion. It was delicious. It's been hard finding a place with that homemade sausage gravy. The grits were also a very generous portion. Not too runny and not too thick. Just perfect. Looking forward to going back and trying the BBQ.“

“If your looking for a home cooked meal for lunch. Then you should try Dicky Doo’s you want be disappointed! And for a “bonus”everyone working had smiles on their faces!“

“I've been coming to Saigon Cafe for years. I used to go to the one that used to be in Gwinnett Marketfair shopping plaza. I always get the same thing, Spicy Basil dinner with chicken and I like it Thai hot. Tonight, they delivered 🙌 it's burning my lips off in the best way. The flavor is fantastic, but I know they've been lowering the spice a bit since I'm American. I understand it, but tonight's plate is just like the first time I ordered it. YUM!“

“Nevaeh was an amazing server for our lunch today ! Super sweet and very attentive! Will come back to see her and eat ! Food was amazing especially the mac n cheese 🧀“

“I had the pleasure of visiting this place last night with my restaurant group and they rolled out the red carpet. From the moment we walked in we felt right at home. There were about 14 of us and although there was 1 server, she handled everything perfectly. Everyone's drinks stayed full and the table stayed with the really good muffins! Needless to say the service was more than good it was top notch. The food! The baby back ribs were tender with just enough sauce. I particularly loved the Mac and cheese and had to order an additional side. Others had different items from the menu and no one left disappointed. I saw the baked potato and all I can say is if you order it be prepared because it's MASSIVE. All in all a great experience and I would definitely recommend giving it a try if you're in the area cause I'll be back for sure!“

“While I have eaten at WGS many times, the food is above par. My concern is delivery. I’ll opt for delivery in very few cases, illness being one of them. Nonetheless, I have yet to receive my complete order when opting for delivery. I’m not a fan of we will give your money back. I want my order, my complete order. Which means care must go into the QA process, not just highlighting the items on my receipt but ensuring the highlighted items make it to the bag. Essentially, refunding the missing items is not enough, when someone has paid 16$ for delivery. Truly, I believe WGS should eat the delivery charges since, what I ordered I did not receive.“

“Best fried chicken Ever!!!! Go get you some! Oh! don't forget that Fried Okra!“

“We visited this restaurant at the invitation of one of the customers of SWC Contracting, We were not let down. The food was made with a tasty southern flair and each dish had my taste buds wondering what could be better than the last bite. We arrived about 6:30pm it was a little busy but not crowded and we were seated straight away by our waitress Tabitha, Her personality was bubbly and refreshing. We had our drinks and first dishes out within 7 minutes of our order. I can't say enough about the service, Tabitha if you read this,.. Just WoW!!! The food really is SECOND to NONE. When we want homecoming we usually visit a larger chain but after today this place has won my business for southern cooking and it is cooked at its finest.. I hope you all visit this place and have the experience we had,.. and I would ask for Tabitha if I was you.. P.S. Bring your appetite..“

“the owner is so respectful and caring. I recommend this place over any place.the atmosphere is a grown folk vibe. I give this place 10,10,10,and 10“

“Chicken Salad Chick is great place to grab a hockey salad sandwich. It's a unique concept, and has a surprising number of options. The chicken salad is great!“

“We go about once a week for dinner. Tonight I had the Seafood Platter - it was huge and delicious! Everything was lightly battered, crisp, and not greasy (catfish and fried shrimp). I have enough left for 2 lunches. We also brought home a piece of Rachel’s sweet potato cake to share. Oh, my. It was wonderful!! The restaurant was full but every single staff member was welcoming and friendly. We love going there!“

“great place to eat, and very reasonably priced.“

“This review is long overdue, to be honest. I've only ever had great experiences at Chicken Salad Chick, and not just this location but all I've been too. And not just a "no issues" experience, but rather, it's always above and beyond.
The food is always fresh and really delicious, I also think it's an extremely fair price for all you get (they even throw in a little cookie for dessert).
What prompted me to finally leave this well deserved review is that I ordered food to be delivered because they were running a promotion where you got a free scoop. However, I couldn't get it to apply to my order and I ended up giving up and ordering anyway because at that point I was hungry and craving their delicious chicken salad. What a pleasant surprise to find out that they'd thrown in the free scoops all the same and I was able to eat it for lunch the following day! I was also pleasantly surprised with how fresh the food was even for delivery.
I just have no words, the employees are also always sweet and kind. I will definitely be coming back. Maybe it's a good thing that there isn't a location closer to me because I'd spend all my money there.“

“My chicken salad melt was yummy! The strawberry lemonade was a delight. Staff was very friendly. I’ll be back for sure:))“

“You can have a event there, also have food and alcohol all in the same place, very convenient“

“Great ambiance, great service, and great food. Had a fabulous time there today.“

“I was in the area, so I searched for a breakfast spot nearby, and this place came up. Checked out the menu and headed that way. ????. When I walked in, I noticed that it was clean, with customers sitting quietly at tables waiting for their orders. The cashier, which I presume is the owner, was upbeat and friendly. I wasn't sure what I wanted because it was my first time there, but he was patient with me. I ultimately decided on a #3, which is a meat (I chose bacon), biscuit w/ gravy, and eggs. However, I decided to do the most, so I had them add double hashbrowns??, extra eggs ???, extra gravy, and extra bacon ?? and hold the shame!!! Lol ? Food came out hot and fresh in less than 7 minutes. The scrambled eggs were cooked just right, the hashbrowns weren't dry and actually better than Waffle House's, the gravy was seasoned just right and not extra salty like most spots!??‍? The biscuit was nice and soft with enough density not to give in to the gravy bath it was soaking in! ??? I recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes a good ole traditional breakfast at a good price! I'm definitely putting them in my breakfast rotation! ?? ????

FYI: They have a health department score of 100! ???

“Passing through a week ago and pulled this place up on Maps. Not going to lie, when it took us to a place in the gas station parking lot we were not sure but decided to go in and see what they had since there was a constant flow of people doing pickups. We had catfish, wings, chicken gizzards and it was all very good. The catfish was our favorite! Only 2 tables inside but not many folks were eating in, mostly call ahead for pickup. To top it off, I accidentally left my purse on the back of the seat and didn’t realize until we were back home 2 hours away. In a panic, I called and they had just found it and put in the office for me to go back to pick up the next day. Not only hood food but trustworthy people as well!!! I’d definitely go back next time I’m in the area to support these folks.“
