And this week’s Clean Plate Award goes to Chicken Salad Chick at 1505 Hewitt Drive in Waco.
This is not your mom’s chicken salad.
Savory and sweet. There’s a ranch blend, bar-b-q, some fruit and nutty, or even spicy blends of chicken salad.
You can get it on bread or by itself. Check it out.
Also, if you have some time check out its website. It gives a little history on how the “Classic Carol” or the “Fancy Nancy” among others got their names.
The information used to produce the weekly KWTX “Restaurant Report Card” segments is gathered directly from the public records of regular inspections conducted by county health department officials in Central Texas.

Any questions regarding the status of an inspection, reinspection, or the score reported should be directed to the individual county health departments in which those businesses are located.
