50 Best Salad Restaurants near Vestavia Hills

“Ordered thru the app but next time may just use third-party services. Everything arrived fresh and as expected I ordered the ceasar summer wrap with ceasar dressing and mexican ceasar dressing on the side. I will say although I was good it needed a bit more dressing mixed in. Next time I'll order heavy dressing instead of regular.“

“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!“

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

“Kay and her team at Iz did an AMAZING catering job at my wedding! Everyone complimented how good the food was and, most importantly, that the servers were so attentive! One guest commented that her glass never even reached half way before it was being refilled. That made me feel so glad I chose Iz. From the first time I spoke with Kay, I could tell she knew exactly what she was doing and knew all the right questions to ask. Kay and Iz Catering are true professionals and will elevate your special event. I will definitely use Iz again for any catering needs.“

“Wes and got out of the house today and grabbed lunch at Newks at the Vestavia location. Y’all, it was delicious! My mom has long been a fan and suggested I eat there. I’m sorry it took me so long. We did curbside service and got the black & blue salad and the five cheese pesto pizza. Of course we had to sample a side of their five cheese Mac and cheese. Everything was excellent!!!! Definitely grab and go/curbside at Newks. Let them take care of supper tonight.“

“Great food, service and people 😀“

“great store, fast service, hot food“

“Vestavia location has always been fantastic. It's rare I have any issues, but on those rare occasions they have taken care of everything. One time I accidentally hit I was there when I wasn't and needed them to wait and they did. Another time, I never hit I had arrived or even went close to there and my order had been made and been sitting for an hour, bc it took longer than I expected to get there. They remade it quickly. The manager on duty at the time was very kind. I hate I didn't get her name. Thank you guys for being awesome.“

“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.“

“I was craving some good chicken tenders and coleslaw. I remembered seeing this place and wanted to try it out. 10/10 in my opinion. The chicken tenders are so tasty and the sauces are all great. We tried bbq sauce, honey mustard and ranch. We also had the fries which were amazing! We will definitely be back to try other things on the menu and to try some of the custard. The price for 7 tenders, regular fry, coleslaw and 2 extra sauces came out to a little over 20 bucks.“

“Awesome salad.“

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

“The staff are so friendly and helpful. Danielle really knows her stuff. Really lovely ambiance. I always feel welcome“

“This past weekend, we went to Pizza Grace because the original owners sold it to the owners of Big Spoon Creamery. So, out of fear and curiosity, we wanted to see if our favorite pizza place was still our favorite pizza place. Let’s just start. The garlic bread they switched the focaccia with pizza dough, spread fairly thin so it was light and crispy and they swapped the garlic oil for garlic butter with herbs. This was actually really good! We both enjoyed it and thought the flavor of the butter was way better than the original garlic olive oil spread. However, I think they should have kept the focaccia bread and just swapped the olive oil with the garlic and herb butter. That would have been an easy 10/10. But unfortunately, even though it was still very good, it gets an 8.5/10. The pizza itself was still basically the same. We got the pepperoni pizza. Upon arrival and tasting, we could tell they cut back on the red pepper flakes, which we were both happy about. Our main issue was the fact that we could tell, visually, the pizza was smaller and not as big as it used to be. We didn’t like that we were paying basically the same price for less pizza. I’d recommend either making the pizzas bigger again or lowering the price. This also would have been a 10/10, but we’re taking off points for the pizza being visibly smaller and giving it a 9.5/10. For dessert, I got the Big Spoon Bar, which has fior di latte, salted caramel, TCHO chocolate, sea salt, and hazelnut in it. No notes here easy 10/10. I literally could not complain. First bite was heaven! All in all, this was very good with only a few minor disappointments. Is this still my favorite pizza place? Yes. Will I return? Yes, I will but I also think it depends on whether they adjust the price or return the pizza to its original size. That’s literally just how we feel since we’ve been going there for years. I highly recommend you guys go check this place out. Tell them I sent you! #PizzaGrace #foodie #foodreview #bhamfoodie #pizzalovers #pizza“

“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“

“Great place with wonderful food. Highly recommend!“

“Shout-out to Jordon at the Newk's in Hoover, he is the best. Every time I've had an issue with rewards, he's been right there helping me and making sure it gets resolved. He really knows the app and the whole rewards process, and even other team members go to him when they need help redeeming points or fixing something that's not the normal flow. Super helpful, patient, and professional. Thank you, Jordon, I really appreciate you!“

“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.“

“Great pizza and salad, friendly service!!“

“Been waiting for an opportunity to eat here and it did NOT disappoint! Absolute amazing service, food was delicious, atmosphere was great! Server names Frank great! The hot honey pepperoni pizza was FANTASTIC, really wanted to finish it but was ready to burst! 10/10, absolutely amazing!“

“First time visiting Ashley Mac’s Kitchen and I will definitely be back. My sister recommended the trio with chicken salad, mandarin orange salad, and Baby Bleu, and everything was absolutely amazing. The food was fresh, flavorful, and honestly out of this world. The portions were great, the service was friendly and attentive, and the restaurant had a clean, welcoming atmosphere. I had a great experience from start to finish and would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a delicious lunch.“

“This is on me first time in Erin definitely helped out great customer service for someone lost viewing the menu
Got classic cheese burger with the 1/2-1/2
Suggestion onion rings and fries Coke
Great cheese burger fries and rings
Total surprised me
Less than most fast food places
I always state that I have over 50 years of food service experience have to add management was busy serving the tables“

“Today was my first visit..the freshness of the food and the environment was great. I got a bowl (chicken & steak). The steak was too tough for my liking. However, the flavors in the bowl made.me just put it to the side. Next time I'll stick with chicken and ill have to try the glazed salmon. I will be back.“

“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!“

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

“This restaurant has a nice ambiance being in an older repurposed building downtown. It was a cold evening so we were grateful for the ability of valet parking. The service was friendly and professional. The food choices were varied and all options chosen by our party were prepared well and delicious.“

“Good food nice and friendly staff“

“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.“

“We went in with a large group after Church and employees were so nice. Food delicious,“

“I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Edgar’s Bakery at Financial Center today! Brooke was incredibly helpful in helping me send cakes and cupcakes to our clients. We needed a very quick turnaround, and while the typical wait is longer than I had hoped, Brooke went above and beyond to make sure our order was delivered the very same day so our customer could celebrate.

Her service, responsiveness, and willingness to help was exceptional. I’m extremely impressed with the service I received and will definitely be using Edgar’s again for future client gifts. Thank you, Brooke, for going above and beyond!“

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

“Love Clean Eatz. I stumbled across them on a Google search for healthy food establishments as I’m in the process of losing weight and they were one of the top choices to try. Since I tried them out, I have been coming back if I don’t bring a meal with me to work. Thus far have lost 20 pounds thanks to them and the great food they provide. Definitely recommend the chicken bacon ranch flatbread and the Mac n cheese. It is amazing!“

“My daughter put on this bc she knows I don't eat meat..... The falafel and cucumber mint is my favorite 😍 The yogurt dill is also my favorite dressing, and strawberry sesame 2# I love when I walk in ,they kno what I want and always fresh . I love cava clean, workers always polite ❤💕You should try them if you haven't already“

“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!“

“Delicious breakfast in a casual atmosphere!“

“The food is AMAZING!! Servers are on top of it. 10/10! Definitely recommend!“

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

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

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Great food and great service“

“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.“

“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“
