My friend Brian always has the best restaurant recommendations. They're not always something I'd pick myself, are usually right under my nose (but I've never noticed them) and are usually pretty good. Chef's Cafe was his most recent pick, found on Fields Ertel Road- not the super-busy, scary part but the other side of Mason-Montgomery Road that is more quiet, sedate and residential. And, apparently, they have World-Famous Chicken Salad. Chef's Cafe is completely unassuming in a small strip mall in Mason. I am sure I've driven by it a hundred times and never noticed it. It's been there for 17 years- since before Mason was the booming suburb it is now- and its success can be attributed to more than 83 tons of chicken salad. They have a contract to sell it at Bigg's/Remke and Jungle Jim's as well (in case you can't get there for lunch). Of course, if it was
Great chicken salad sandwich, healthy portion of ham for a ham and cheese. Pimento cheese was spot on too. Definitely a great find. Looking forward to making it a staple stop.
Oh the applesauce is on point!
OMG The Best! I just had the privilege of meeting the owners and trying the food for the 1st time. The chicken salad, the pasta salad, potato salad, Royal Sub, and Cole slaw were all phenomenal! Was incredibly impressed and felt like I was back in NJ/NYC with the quality and atmosphere. Next time, I’m taking the family with me and dining in! Incredibly thankful to have this 30 year old family business right down the road.
On a trip from out-of-town, I came across this unassuming little hidden gem and couldn't be more pleased. First, the food was delicious (I got the Reuben salad 10/10) and snacked on the World Famous Chicken Salad on the way home (10/10). The restaurant is a locally owned, multi-generational deli with ample comfortable dining space. The menu is diverse with your classic deli sandwiches and homemade desserts! Mostly, the couple who own this restaurant were right there at the counter to greet and help a newbie through the menu. Truly wonderful service with genuine smiles. A must try if you find yourself in the area - you won't be disappointed!
We made a stop here while in the area and we had the yummiest lunch! My young sons said they were the best sandwiches they’ve ever had: a turkey mustard sandwich and a bacon sandwich. The lunch meats are top quality and you really can taste the difference. Delicious soups and sides too. And the owners and staff here are so friendly - make you feel like a regular! Great portions for the price too. Highly recommend and we can’t wait to come back.
I had just a conversation with someone 15 minutes before about my butcher retiring and not being able to get his awesome chicken salad anymore - then I happen to drive past this place! Divine intervention? Possibly. The chicken salad IS divine however. I'm so happy 😊
I didn't try the chicken salad all though I hear it's the best. I did have the club and it was absolutely the best sub I've had in a long time. The owners are amazing people and made me feel right at home. I'm an otr truck driver and this is my 2nd time eating here and both times were amazing.
Came here for lunch while in town, was very happy. The chicken salad was great (as expected), applesauce and potato salad were also very good. Would definitely return!
I drive by all the time. Decided to stop in today. Glad I did. Was promptly greeted by the team. The owner was genuinely appreciative of my business. I got the chicken salad on croissant. It was great! Highly recommend
Simply the best. Great place for lunch. Friendly service. Lunch meats, salads, and bread all fresh. Also, the go to place if you love chicken salad. New owners and they haven’t missed a beat.
My first time here and I like it. Was trying to catch them when I’m over here a lot and finally did. Very nice staff met the owners their sweet and got a tuna salad sandwich and fruit jello so good will be coming back ❤️
