The Coop Cafe

We had a great soup & sandwich combo. The staff was very friendly & welcoming. I plan to stop by again soon. Besides with all the chicken salad options, it is going to take me a while to try them all.

I’ve been here a few times… not my choice, but when I was with other people who wanted to go there… not impressed and it’s expensive for what little food you get. I got a small scoop of chicken salad on some greens and chips and tea and it was almost $ 10. On my most recent visit.(and again not my choice but group choice) .it was really bad. Guess I got them on a bad day but I certainly don’t think the food is good and would not eat there if it was entirely my choice.

I love this funky little place on Sutherland. Outstanding flavors and variety of chicken salad. Wonderful take home and bake casseroles. I highly recommend the Kristopher of chicken, rice, broccoli and cheese. If you need boxed lunches for a meeting they are packaged beautiful and your work mates love you for the great tasting food wrapped like a gift.

Gosh I wish I could give more than 3 stars for this place because the service was extremely friendly and their food was good… but I’ve had better chicken salad before and just can’t justify a full 4 stars. The chicken seemed a little dry and although the buffalo/​bacon combo was good it just didn’t wow me. I didn’t see it on the menu as an option but i asked for my sandwich on a croissant which they were able to do it no problem. Overall it was good though so I would recommend people give it a try because it could just be my tastes and like i said, the service was so friendly its worth a try. If/​when I’m back in Knoxville I might visit again.

I was quite pleased with this place. Very good chicken salad and delicious jalapeño pimento cheese. It’s a go to for takeout!

I like this restaurant for lunch and for takeout. The chicken salad is fresh and delicious. I’ve tried many variations, and they are all good. The soups are great and the kale salad is some of the best I have ever had. The décor is bright, fun, clean and friendly. It is locally owned, which is a plus. I highly recommend for lunch or for a catered event!

This is a very clean, bright and cheerful place off the main drag. The focus is on chicken salad but they have soup and casserole dishes too. I am here on a Monday and I am the only male here. Definitely not Dead End BBQs atmosphere but friendly, attentive service and good food. A little pricey. I had a buffalo bacon ranch chicken salad on wheat bread with lettuce and yellow (on purpose) tomato with chips and a drink and with a 15% tip and tax it was &12.88. The sandwich was large and I am stuffed. They have me a sample of a thumbprint cookie too. Very good.
Lots of ladies coming in and it seems there 1 in 5 is a takeout order. The place is spacious with outdoor seating on the Sutherland Ave street side in front. It is right across from the new UT intramural fields
They cater. In fact I found out about them by running in to their delivery person at our office.

Very yummy Curry cranberry pecan chicken salad! They have several other «flavors» of chicken salad that I can’t wait to try.
I highly recommend! Staff was very helpful too.
