Chick Fil A – New Menu Item Review – Southaven – MS location

About a week or so ago, I received a request to test out some NEW MENU ITEMS at my local Chick Fil A – (Southaven, MS location off Goodman). Today, My mother and I took them up on the offer. We reviewed 3 Menu items, MARKET SALAD, COOL CHICKEN WRAP, AND KEY LIME PIE SHAKES.





Now, I have ate salads and sandwiches for years at Chick Fil A, and honestly I always grab the fried Chicken Nuggets, or Fried Sandwiches. I often, look at the Grilled Chicken Menu items and think about getting them but never have. By the time I get to the counter I go back to the old basic nugget or sandwich, and if I choose the salad, I normally choose the one that has the fried nuggets.





Today was different. No fried foods were being tested. We tried the new Market Salad which consist of Strawberries, Blueberries, Blue Cheese (we left this off ours) , Grilled Chicken and Apples.



Folks this salad was AMAZING….the grilled chicken was out of this world. I can’t believe I have been holding out on their grilled chicken. I have been missing out. My mom even said it was her favorite too. With the salad, came our choice of salad dressing which we choose. After looking at the selection we went with Zesty Apple Cider Vinaigrette (my mom and dad both agree this dressing is to die for). If you haven’t tried that dressing you are missing out. It was another new item for me. The salad also came with Nuts , and Granola packets as well, which we also added to our salad. I always grabbed the Southwest Cobb salad and the Avocado Lime Ranch. Things definitely have changed for me…the Market Salad with Zesty Apple Cider Vinaigrette is now my top salad choice.





One thing I noticed when I went to the Chick Fil A Menu website is that this salad can come in several options. You can order it without Chicken, with Chicken Strips, with Cod Filet, with Grilled Nuggets, with regular Nuggets or with Spicy Cod. So the options are out there.





Listed Below is the Image of the Salad and Description from the Chick Fil A Menu …..

Sliced grilled chicken breast served on a fresh bed of chopped Romaine lettuce and baby greens, topped with shredded red cabbage and carrots, crumbled blue cheese and a mix of red and green apples, strawberries and blueberries. Made fresh daily. Served with Harvest Nut Granola, Roasted Nut Blend, Zesty Apple Cider Vinaigrette dressing or pairs nicely with Light Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing (or guest’s choice of dressing).

The next item on the menu that we tried for the review was the Grilled Cool Chicken Wrap.



This item was big enough for both my mom and I to try. It came wrapped up, cut in half in a container. The sandwich consist of Lettuce, Cheese, and Chicken. They allow you to choose which type of salad dressing you would like to add to the sandwich. We choose Ranch, and Avocado Lime Ranch. The side my mom got didn’t have much chicken in it. My side was loaded with chicken. She felt her side was a little dry. She added Ranch to hers and dipped the sandwich in the ranch as she took her bites. My side, as I said was loaded with chicken, and I unwrapped the wrap and added the salad dressing to mine (I added the Avocado Lime Ranch) and honestly, think I had too much dressing on mine. I enjoyed the wrap, but it wasn’t my top pick. Would I eat it again. Probably, but I am not much of a bread person, and there was so much wrap that i even tore some of the wrap off to eat it. If you love wraps I would recommend it. However, I would recommend unwrapping the wrap and adding part of the dressing to your wrap. Otherwise if you dip it like my mom did it’s too dry, and if you add the whole pack it becomes messy. I would probably give the wraps a try again, however, next time I am trying it with the Zesty Apple Cider Vinaigrette dressing that stuff was the bomb and I wish I had known about it before eating the wrap. It would have been delicious!

Our final item that we reviewed were the Chic Fil A Key Lime Pie Shakes.



I have to admit I wasn’t looking forward to trying this. Why ? Well the last time I had one of their shakes (Lemonade) I threw it in the trash, and I loved Lemonade. However, this Key Lime Pie Shake was pretty darn good. I am not one that eats Key Lime Pies, nor is my mother. However, we both agreed that we liked it and that if you are a Key Lime Pie person this shake is definitely for you. It was delicious, and had the perfect amount of Key Lime Pie flavor that you could enjoy. If you love Key Lime Pies I highly recommend this shake. Would we order it again? Probably so, but I would have it as a treat, and not with my meal. Shakes with a meal are too much for me. Listed below is a image of the shake from the Chick Fil A website. One thing I noticed about the website is it allows you to choose a normal shake or a diet shake. The shake is available in Small or Large if you choose to order off the site.

I would like to thank the awesome team at my local Chick Fil A (Southaven, MS) off Goodman Rd. Our local team was great. Everyone said “My Pleasure” , if we needed something they were on top of it and made sure we had what was needed. Our food was brought out in a timely fashion, and they even provided us with a extra Zesty Apple Vinaigrette dressing when requested.





We have ate at this Chick Fil A for years. Never have we had a issue. They are always prompt, and willing to get you anything you need whether its a refill, salad dressing, dipping sauce etc. If you are local to the area check out Southaven, MS Chick Fil A. I assure you won’t be disappointed.





My Mom who also ate with me was impressed with the service. She seldom goes to Chick Fil A as she lives in Hernando, MS and they don’t have a Chick Fil A. She found the staff to be very helpful as well and was impressed with how fast our food came out.





Thanks Southaven, Chick Fil A for allowing us to review your new menu items. We really enjoyed our experience and can’t wait to come back for another Salad, Shake and Cool Wrap.





PS—if you haven’t yet be sure to download the Chick Fil A app. I have it and use it all the time. It’s a great way to get free products. We have received several free items. I am now going to save some of my points for a free salad.
