41 Best Salad Restaurants in Birmingham

“Awesome salad.“

“I went to the Dunwoody, Georgia location at lunchtime today (11/17/25). I let the cashier know that it was my 1st time trying Super Chix and he comped my frozen custard with oreo pieces! That act of kindness had me in tears as I was emotional about the bad news I received about my husband's cancer earlier in the day. Thank you for adding sunshine to my day! I will be back!“

“Pizza (white with sausage) and garlic bread were excellent. Would have preferred a true apple pie with pastry crust rather than the yummy apple filling served on pizza dough. Washing your hands is a bit inconvenient - walk outside the restaurant down the open air corridor, then into another building“

“Staying at the UAB Hilton and went down for breakfast. Synetric greeted me and asked me how I was doing, told me about the breakfast buffet (which was a nice quality and selection of eggs, sausage, bacon, fresh fruit, grits, oatmeal & pastries) and was able to get me my coffee to go. The other staff working was also pleasant.“

“I had a great first experience. Kayla was Awesome! I was about to let the third person go ahead of me because I didn't know how or what to order. Kayla encouraged me to go ahead and order that she would assist me. She was patient and guided me in creating a chef kiss bowl that was wonderful!! She gave me a "My pleasure" experience. I will definitely be back, thanks Kayla!“

“My bestie and I visited here on our way to an event. I've been hooked ever since. I love the different healthy options available and that you can fully customize your experience. It would help to browse the menu before going so you don't hold up the line during busier times. I think in this day I opted for a veggie bowl. But I've also had the chicken grain and green bowl as well as the falafel and all were great. The pita chips are a must try! They are so addictive! I also love the free parking deck and the digital drive-through on those days when I just want to grab and go.“

“Great spot for lunch! I love that it offers something unique compared to other downtown restaurants. The service is fast and friendly, and they’ve recently added some great new items to the menu. Portions are generous and you definitely won’t leave hungry.“

“I cannot say enough good things about Baha Burger. I have celiac disease and cannot have dairy either, and not once have I gotten sick from the Patchwork farms location. The entire staff is well-trained about cross-contact, super careful, and truly understand dietary restrictions. My favorite thing to order is the baby turkey burger, gluten free bun, no blue cheese, and either fruit, sweet potato fries, or both! Thank you Baha Burger for being a safe place for celiacs to eat! I've been here numerous times and will continue to be a regular.“

“I’ve been eating at cava all over the birmingham are but the cava on 280 has become my favorite. I was welcomed in by the Cava employee by the name of Wade. Wade was the most friendliest person I’ve met in any Cava restaurant. He was very polite and helpful. I didn’t feel rushed and he made a great bowl, thanks I will always look for wade when I come into this restaurant because he didn’t make me feel rushed“

“The food is always fresh and delicious, the Reuben is my favorite!!! Great people and wonderful service!“

“UAB location is awesome. I have visited this located several times and always clean, friendly, and food always good. I normally do online order and my order always ready when I arrive. I ate there with my mother once and it was nice and pleasant. We sat outside on the patio.“

“Stopped by for lunch after their rush from local\nworkers. Enjoyed *absolutely delicious soup (mushroom….. and also their butternut squash ….both outstanding!), accompanied by their Fall Harvest Salad. Found out they have house made cookies too. Thoroughly enjoyed their brown butter coconut cookie dusted with sea salt flakes. Yum!“

“We have gone to Freddy’s many times and always had an amazing experience! The service is always amazing, the wine plentiful, and the food delicious and consistent. We had a party for my husband’s birthday this past weekend and were so impressed by the execution of service. If you want to be truly taken care of, come to Freddy’s!“

“Jackie recommended Blue Cheese, I now love Blue Cheese. I have to have it on everything…“

“Delicious breakfast in a casual atmosphere!“

“Soooo one of my customer’s made me a plate from his restaurant today and I have to tell you….i have NEVER experienced Macaroni & Cheese like this. It was like a tangy-lemon-limey-feta-cheesy- dab of SHEER HEAVEN!!!! And the fresh Collard Greens? Oh. My. lord. THE BEST I have EVER had…EVER!!!! Better than my Grannie’s, god rest her soul. The Chicken was divine and I saw that they also barbeque Lamb Chops. I’ll try those next time. Everyone there are some of the kindest folks you will ever meet. Don’t feel like eating in? Go through the drive-thru and get a quart of that Mac-n-cheese and collards. I can’t even begin to describe how delicious they are. For real!!!! They Cater too!!! Divine!!!!“

“Excellent top notch pizza (BBQ Brisket pizza, Philly pizza) all the way down to the crust, tasty fair price drinks, and excellent service, shout out to Gabby G Lakeview, Highly recommend!“

“Good food nice and friendly staff“

“Went to 2 different locations before visiting Prive/Palace. You get entry to the restaurant for free and the club in back for $10. Security will check you before entering and parking spaces were nice.

The bartender was very nice and the people eating were also very nice. We ate wings, fries, catfish nuggets and had some drinks in between visits to the back club“

“We visited from Texas and were pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere and food at Urban Cookhouse. I’d be curious to try other sandwiches, but would definitely pair it with more broccoli salad.

Parking: I walked up to the restaurant, but I did notice plenty of street parking available.“

“Everything was great everyone was friendly“

“Edgar's Bakery is a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. The amazing people that work at this location make you feel like you're at home when you walk in the restaurant. They are known for their cakes being amazing but their food is absolutely delicious! Treat yourself to some amazing food and a delicious cupcake or some other sweet treat!“

“I love to eat here the food is so good and the staff is friendly I just love this place“

“Thank you, thank you to Chick Fil A Greystone. We ordered food from here for our end of year football party. due to weather (cold and rainy) we changed our party location last minute from Heardmont Playground to Chick Fil A. Isaac accommodated us quickly, reserving tables for us, and making everything easy and fun for parents and kids. Isaac and his team were welcoming from Start to finish A thousand thank yous, from the Red Team (Oak Mountain Youth Football)“

“The food is certainly good, but I definitely don’t recommend the Down Home. It’s an insultingly tiny amount of food. My wife and I both laughed when the server set it down in front of me—$13 for a main course smaller than most appetizers.“

“I have been here 3times back to back and I haven't been disappointed yet.“

“We absolutely love this place, best wings in Fairhope!!!“

“Love the bread here! Just revisited after a long absence and I ask myself how could I have forgotten? The sourdough is great and the pastries are fantastic. Cool location, great place to meet for coffee too.“

“This place is absolutely amazing. Took my smokin’ hott wife here on date night. Tiffany was our server and she was amazing. The food is better than a home cooked meal and the price is well worth it. Again ***** 5 STAR“

“Food is good when it's made right. I get the same thing every time, but it's never made the same. I picked up a Newks Q pizza just now that I ordered with no jalapeños. I did check it before I left, and it appeared fine. But whoever made it took it upon them selves to make the pizza with no sauce or chili either. I know what the sauce looks like. That pizza was dry AF. Super disappointing when you pay almost $20 for one pizza with a tip.“

“Just moved to Alabama from Florida. What a wonderful find this Cheesecake Factory was. As much as we love Southern Cooking here in Alabama, there is just so much Fried Food and BBQ a person can eat. Cheesecake Factory has an amazing variety of food and every Cheesecake Factory restaurant we have eaten in are always consistent. I’ll give this Bham find five stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This us our favorite O.G although it's about a 90 min drive and today's visit was another awesome one, Mary is a FABULOUS server, so attentive, kind and helpful. When we come back (in the next 2 weeks) I will be asking for her section. Thank you!“

“I love it because a very nice team and a very excellent service do a wonderful job and make me feel like family“

“Great service and restaurant. The new layout of the parking lot is a bit weird, and the employees do their best and are all very polite, but you run the risk of becoming trapped in the drive thru if theres any kind of hold up ahead of you, bc theres no way to exit the lanes after you get into them due to the new parking lot layout.Recommend ordering on the app and picking up in store or getting curbside to avoid the drive thru, esp if you have anxiety or any agoraphobic tendencies related to driving“

“Excellent service and exceptional 'fast' food.“

“Wow, just wow! I had the best experience I have ever had at a Chick-fil-A on Monday when I brought my parents and we decided to eat inside. What a great decision that was. We were immediately greeted by one of the kindest souls I have ever met, Maritza! She was amazing, she showed that she genuinely cared and gave great recommendations on the new items! She made a 10/10 experience, and I can not wait to come back and visit this Chick-fil-A! By far the best Chick-fil-A I have ever been to!!!!“

“They made a small mistake on our order but the staff went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. We will definitely be back!“

“The customer service lakeshore location“

“The staff was delightful! We were so excited to come in and ate. Great experience 👍“

“Chick-fil-A is less a restaurant and more a magical temple where chicken reigns supreme and your life’s problems temporarily vanish. You walk in, and immediately a choir of polite angels in visors says, “My pleasure,” so many times that I start questioning if I’ve entered a parallel universe where politeness is currency.“

“Panera Bread is a great place to grab a fresh and flavorful meal. I really appreciate that their menu is free of artificial colors, which makes me feel better about what I’m eating. My go-to is the Chicken Chipotle Avocado sandwich—it’s packed with flavor, the chicken is always tender, and the avocado adds the perfect creamy touch. Their commitment to quality ingredients really stands out, and it keeps me coming back. Whether for a quick lunch or a relaxed dinner, Panera is a solid choice.“
