Tookies Grill - Raleigh

Tookie's is a great, family owned and operated sandwich shop.Unfortunately, they aren't opened on Mondays.

I’ve been coming here for years. Today I stopped in to grab a chicken salad sandwich. Typically when I order I’m greeted in a nice manner. The younger lady working the counter did the opposite. She was very rude to me. Didn’t say hello, rolled her eyes at me while placing my order etc.. whatever, that doesn’t matter. When I received my sandwich I noticed there was barely any chicken salad on the sandwich. EVERY TIME I order a chicken salad sandwich the older lady would pack on a good amount of chicken salad on the sandwich. That wasn’t the case with the younger lady. I paid $11 for a sandwich and felt as if I was ripped off. The younger lady was also yelling at the older lady (which is the owner of the establishment). They need to do a better job at training her in humanity and making a “famous Tookie chicken salad sandwich” I’m very disappointed. Do yourselves a favor and avoid this place when you see the younger lady working. Unless you enjoy eating mainly bread.

Chicken salad is not worth the hype. It’s the traditional style, with eggs pickles, (and maybe celery). Something in it made it sweet. Not my kind of chicken salad for sure. I will say the portion was generous and the service was top notch though. Maybe I’ll come back in a Thursday try the chicken and pastry.

Debra has catered so much for my family. Our daughter just got married and they provided a number of amazing desserts for after the rehearsal. She also made egg casseroles and fresh ham biscuits to serve our family the day after the wedding. Everything was delicious and amazing! She thinks of all of the details and even provides dishes/platters if needed. Thanks Tookies. You’re the best!!

This is a nice grill and appears to be family owned. They are famous for their chicken salad but i love a hot dog and crinkle cut fries from there just as much. Very nice place to get a quick lunch. Note, cash only......no credit cards
