Courtney Ziegler: Their tarragon chicken salad is phenomenal. I have a hard time convincing myself to order anything else. It's that good.
Jes: Curry chicken salad!
Kaitlin: The tarragon chicken salad is amazing and I'll be coming back to try their desserts. However, they don't have wifi, which surprised me a bit.

Tony Zeoli: Try the blue cheese, apple, and chicken salad with an unsweetened cool iced tea.
Steve Hong: Pick any three salads for the same price as a sandwich. One of my favorite lunches is in Durham is the chicken salad, pesto pasta, and corn and tomato salad.

Gail Rankin: Chicken salad plate with fried green tomatoes and Lima beans - Yum!!
Bryan Wylie: The fried chicken is great, takes a little wait but its worth it!

Sarah: The last time I was in town I had the deluxe chicken salad two days in a row because it was so good. Perfect balance of flavors and the chicken cooked just right. Always good food here!
h: Vegan platter is gluten free, nut free, and of course dairy free 😁
Justin Baker: Get the salad dressing to put on your nachos. I've said too much already.
Drew Servie: If you like peanut butter get the Thai Chicken Salad Wrap
Simal Soydan: Love the coffees and brunch menu. Great place to go for a small brunch with a small group of friends.
Bob Nocek: Good food, but overrun by freelancers and students who order one drink and work for hours on their laptops, exhausting their free refills. Good luck getting a table if you actually want to have lunch.
