Cafe At Pharr

If you like chicken salad, get yourself to the Cafe at Pharr. This place makes the most phenomenal chicken salad on earth and they have freshly baked bread daily. I think the key to this fabulous chicken salad is that they don't add too much mayo, which will ruin a great chicken salad.\r \r The curry chicken salad is not too heavy, but adds a slight kick, while the celery is just plain & simple, but perfect. The walnut (my favorite) adds a slight hint of sweetness to the salad. I suggest ordering the salad plate & mixing the chicken salad, the green salad and dressing up all up into one delicious plate. Ask for extra bread and enjoy! Once you go, you'll never look back at another lunch spot! Pros: Best chicken salad ever! EVER Cons: Parking, lunch crowd more

Maybe years ago this place was good, but I swear you can get better chicken salad at Kroger. The chicken was dry and ground up. I had the famous walnut chicken salad and it was awful for nine dollars. The bread was fine, but not award winning. It's just a place to be seen, which doesn't make any sense because it is a hole in the wall. I am being forced to give it one star. Pros: None. Cons: Horrible food, overpriced more

Went with co-workers and it was amazing! I had the curry chicken salad sandwich (with garlic dressing). The dressing was like cherry on top. It was DELICIOUS!! Also, the yogurt roll was amazing. I might go back to ONLY get the yogurt rolls. I'd recommend it to EVERYONE! Pros: Great food and great custome service Cons: Parking more

I have known Jon for four years now~ This place does it right: simple, fast, healthy, and with a smile. I go about once a week and get the salad with tuna. It can get super busy but for the most part you can get a table. And the meal cost less than 9 bucks.... this place is truly a hidden gem! Great job Jon! And congrats on the new baby!!!!! more

The chicken salad sandwich is to DIE for. The curry chicken is absolutely amazing and there is nothing like it anywhere else (a personal favourite of mine) ALWAYS get extra rice so none of the beautiful sauce goes to waste. The bread served with the curry is a treat and another thing to ask for extra of. The yoghurt rolls are also amazing....you can not go wrong with this place! Pros: Wonderful food, nothing like it Cons: A bit of a madhouse at lunch, a little pricey for lunch food more

Cafe at Pharr has been a favorite of mine for a long time! I just can't believe the bad review they got. That person must not like the owner on a personal level or something because what they said about the food is very untrue. When it is nearly impossible to find a parking spot during peak lunch hour, how can their food be bad? Just want to say they have the BEST salad dressing I've ever had, it's probably the biggest reason I eat there. And the walnut chicken salad is awesome, as is the egg/potato salad. Eat there and you'll see how good it is! Pros: Food Cons: So good that parking is hard to come by. more

Talk about fantastic. Though parking can be tough, the immediate service makes up for any lost time. My favorite, the Chix Salad Sandwich, is always exactly as i remember it. The bread is soft, the salad is not too creamy or too dry, and the side dessert is always a perfect closing to a great lunch. My colleagues and I affectionately call the cafe ""the Chicken Salad place"" and I would recommend it to anyone. more

DO NOT go to Cafe at Pharr. The owner and the servers are unbelieveably rude, obnoxious, unfriendly, and make you feel as if you do not deserve to be there. The food is, at best, mediocre. The veggies are pale and tasteless, the salads are bland, the chicken salad was tough, chewy and full of dark meat, and it was completely overpriced and overhyped for what you get. When I raised my concerns to the wait staff adn eventually the owner, who was there at the time, they kind of smiled and shrugged and really did not care. Terrible - don't bother going there. Cons: rude, obnoxious owner and staff, terrible, bland food, no ambiance, beyond snobby more

This place is the best - the service is fast and friendly - I usually pop in to pick up lunch to go and am out in less than 5 minutes, even with a line. The curry chicken salad is so good - not too intense with the spices & just flavorful enough! The salad dressing is amazing - some kind of light ginger with carraway seeds, I think they are called? It's my all-time favorite. Plus all the salad plates come with fresh grapes and YOGURT ROLLS. I had never had a yogurt roll until I came to Cafe at Pharr and now I am addicted! Perfect lunch spot! more
