50 Best Salad Restaurants near Mountain Brook

“Great place with wonderful food. Highly recommend!“

“It was my very first time here and the service was amazing, I can’t wait to come back and bring me family.“

“Great food and nice outside table area. Attire is dressy casual“

“I dined in and honestly thought of my future review on here as I did so I did a little extra "digging in" to things I might not normally have noticed just in the area I could see while dining. The light fixtures, chairs, tables, floor were all clean, and no noted light bulbs were needing replaced. No noted dust on the light fixtures. The vent return cover (think that's what its called) was very minimally dusty.
The food was great and the portion sizing seemed generous to me. I ate alone following an out of town appointment. Now that I have found this place, it's hard for me try another since finding it at my last appointment. I work in healthcare, so I suppose I notice infection control practices in restaurants a little more than I wish I did for my sanity. I have never observed an issue here. In case you have never been here, you order at the register, but they bring you food and then they clean the tables after you are finished. (You don't have to dump trays or anything). You don't really have table service though, unless you realize you need something else at that initial food drop off time. Polite staff, but I did feel a little hurried to make my decision on ordering, although there wasn't a line. I paid a little more for lunch there than I could do on the daily, I received back just loose change from $19 for just me.
The atmosphere is pleasant and calming. I was just behind a fairly large group of apparent local exterminators (according to their labels on their clotging) and I was impressed that I didn't heart 1 single grumbling regarding anything with their order out of a fairly large group for barely lunchtime.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️ I ordered delivery from La Paz last night and was excited to try their street corn and shrimp street tacos. The food arrived fresh and tasted delicious. Well, at least after I discovered I am one of those unlucky people who think cilantro tastes like soap. Once I picked it off, everything was great. Unfortunately, I woke up this morning with food poisoning symptoms. While I cannot say for sure that it was from this meal, it was the only thing I ate that evening. The flavors were on point, but this experience has made me hesitant to order again. Hoping it was just a one time issue because I really did enjoy the food!“

“This past Saturday, I treated myself to a me date a day dedicated entirely to myself. After indulging in a relaxing one-hour massage, I found myself absolutely starving. Wanting to try something new, I continued my exploration of Homewood’s restaurant scene and landed on The Battery. I met my aunt there for lunch, and as soon as we arrived, I knew we were in for a treat. The place was packed inside and out which is usually a great sign. After about a 15 minute wait, we were seated. The interior had a modern, inviting atmosphere, and the service was excellent. Our waiter was incredibly kind, answered all of my questions, and I never once had to ask for a refill. Despite the restaurant being full, the service was impressively quick, and every dish arrived hot. Appetizers Buffalo Wings – The wings were well-sauced and smoked to perfection, with the meat falling off the bone effortlessly. However, the biggest letdown was the lack of seasoning. While the smoky flavor was great, the wings themselves needed more depth. 7.9/10 (With proper seasoning, this would easily be in the high 8s or even a 9). Queso & Chips – The chips were fresh, crunchy, and unseasoned but still did the job. The queso had potential, but it lacked the bold flavors needed to truly stand out. It wasn’t bad, but it could have been much better. 6/10 Entrées & Sides Wedge Salad – The salad itself was solid, but the bacon was a miss. It had an overpowering liquid smoke taste, leaving a strange aftertaste and smell. 7/10 Fries – These were outstanding hot, crispy, and well-seasoned. I also appreciated the variety of cuts and shapes. 8.5/10 Smash Burger – A well-executed smash burger with that signature crispy edge and juicy interior. However, the meat itself wasn’t seasoned, which held it back from being exceptional. 8/10 Final Thoughts Overall, The Battery was a great experience, and I’d happily return. The biggest downside was the lack of seasoning across multiple dishes. If they improved that, their food would easily score even higher. That said, I still highly recommend trying this place. Final Rating: 8/10 Service: 10/10 – Absolutely fantastic staff! Would I go back? Without a doubt.“

“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“

“I’ve am happy to loyal customer of CHOPT (Vestavia Hills) for over 4 years! The food is always so fresh and delicious. This is the only location I feel at home as the employees are always welcoming, helpful, and knowledgeable. Additionally, the ladies bathroom is well-stocked and clean. I love it here!“

“My only complaint about this location is that every time I go there they have the thermostat set to about 60°. It is unbearably cold and I always end up having to sit out on the patio.“

“We loved the food! Had the sweetest waitress. She was funny and had a constant smile on her face. She was older than the rest of the staff but she was the best hands-down“

“Friendly service and great food! I was looking for a good restaurant for pizza and found it! We will definitely be back!“

“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.“

“Yes yes & yes! best pizza in the ham. I could drink the sauce alone honestly.“

“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.“

“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.“

“My favorite Ashley Mac’s meal is the pimento grilled cheese (topped with poppy’s pickles), broccoli slaw, and a slice of strawberry cake. It always hits the spot! I also love that I can order ahead online to avoid a longer wait time during busy hours.“

“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.“

“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.“

“What a great spot! The juices, smoothies, almond butter toast, poke bowl and chicken quesadilla were all delicious! My entire family (5 & 8 year old) both loved their meals, along with my husband and I. The staff was so accommodating and helpful, and just went the extra mile to make sure my one daughter was happy. Thank you! Highly recommend for anyone wanting good food that is made with clean ingredients!“

“I have celiac disease and lactose intolerance and seriously cannot recommend this place enough. The staff is very knowledgeable about cross contact. They even have a separate oven for gluten free pizzas! Every pizza on the menu could be made gluten/dairy free. Thank you for such a wonderful experience. I will be coming here regularly!“

“First time visiting and it was delicious. Friendly staff and lots of vegetarian options. 🥰“

“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“

“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!“

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

“Everything was delicious! Fresh, quality ingredients, cooked perfectly! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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!!!!“

“Delicious breakfast in a casual atmosphere!“

“Awesome service for fast food! Great amount for the lunch special. Good and fresh food!! Clean. Clean. Clean!“

“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!“

“My daughter and I went in for a late lunch today and everything was amazing. I got the Reuben and it was the best I’ve ever had…literally.“

“Everything was great everyone was friendly“

“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.“

“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“

“First time to try this place. I can't believe the wide array of food they serve. It comes to you hot, fresh and delicious!!! I had gotten a Groupon that I'm very thankful for!!! We spent less money here than we would at Taco Bell or McDonald's! If I lived over by it, I would literally eat here every day!!! I got fried catfish, the Cajun ranch fries and a small chicken salad. Good Lord I've NEVER had a salad THAT good before!!! And I'm 54 yo!! It has a ton of stuff in it!!! My husband got the same Cajun fried and a gyro that was amazing as well!!! I completely forgot to take pictures. But trust me, it's worth it! I can't believe they weren't more busy at 5 pm on a Saturday. We were the only ones dining in. But a few people came in for to go orders.“

“Decided to try this place yesterday. They are not dine in from what I saw so I ordered it through Uber Eats and had it delivered. This place had been recommended to me so I figured I'd try it. I got 1 bacon pizza, 1 Pepperoni, and a order of Buffalo wings. I'm not going to sugarcoat this. This pizza was mid at best it was just okay. Reminded me of generic pizza, like if you told me it was frozen pizza I'd believe you. It was like when Little Ceasars use to be bad because we all know they have gotten a lot better over the years. The pizza was really doughy. Like right on the verge of being raw dough. They put the toppings under the cheese so it was like I only had cheese pizza on one of them. It was a floppy mess and the sauce overpowered everything. Couldn't taste the Pepperoni or bacon and the cheese was a bit bland. 6/10 The wings were pretty good even though they ignored how I wanted them cooked. I wanted them extra well done like the option gave me on the app. We did not get that. They were a bit soggy but I have to admit they were still pretty good. Whatever Buffalo sauce they use absolutely said it. 7/10 All in all this place was decent but this would be low on my list of ever spending my money here again. I have been trying to try this place for awhile and when I finally did it was a huge let down.“

“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)“

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

“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.“

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

“I’m way behind in offering a recommendation for the Homewood location of Maya. Between there and the Alabaster location, my Mexican food cravings are more than covered and they are always patient with my substitutions and the like. Service is top-notch and the food is excellent. Highly recommended!“

“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.“

“The general manager Caleb at the Hoover location was amazing.“
