It is a great place; I always get the same handsome server when I go by night (I seek the shadows). I have yet to work up the courage to ask his number or name, but he always makes me the same lunchbox sandwich (I highly recommend it; I love the assortment of meats); cute server aside, the location is great! I love getting a sandwich and a beer in the same 30-second walk! For kids, I, don't recommend the beer.

I had the vegan Mediterranean Salad with added tofu. It was great and I had it with a Bristol Beer. Everything is awesome when paired with a beer. I love Ivywild!Vegetarian options: They had at least one vegan option!

I was with a group looking for a good salad as we traveled through Colorado Springs on a Sunday afternoon. From my google search, we found Salad or Bust. We were not disappointed! Only two of us had a salad, the rest of us had a vegan chili, frito pie, a club sandwich, and a pastrami sandwich. All of us thoroughly enjoyed our lunches. The prices were very reasonable, a wonderful downtown atmosphere, and excellent service. I highly recommend Salad or Bust. (we visited the location on Bijou)

Had a sandwich (not a salad). The fillings in the sandwich were good. But the hoagie-like bun was basically stale. And dry. Really dry. Really detracted from the sandwich.

If you are looking for casual, fun, varied and relaxing dining, try Ivywild school. I came for the Happy Hour at the Principal's Office and decided to eat and early dinner. Take a stroll at the many restaurant walk up counters and you will be impressed with the variety. I ordered a Mediterranean salad which was colorful, flavorful and such a large portion, I split it with my husband! The ingredients were fresh and tasty. The server was friendly and helpful. I will return.

AMAZING FOOD AND SERVICE!! The monthly finners are my favorite, but the brunch is also phenomenal!! The Buddha bowls are delicious and the soups are delightful!

Love the ice cream and the great family service. It's great to still see a owner actually running and providing real caring service on a Sunday. Smiles are topping on the sundae! Thank you Jimmy and Euridice. See you soon.

Purchased to smoothies for my kids. Neither kid wanted to finish them. I haven’t tried their salads yet.

I can really give any thoughts on food because when I arrived at 7:15pm, and wanted a Taco Salad, I was told they were out of it. The blonde, young female proceeded to show me three other salads they were out of because they didn’t have any more romaine lettuce. This confused me back se she could have offered to make it with other lettuces available. I just left because she honestly didn’t want to work. Around 8pm I see that same young girl come from behind the pizza and burger place with a very large bag of romaine lettuce. Then I saw a salad made for when of them after they closed. I literally drove from the north end of town to have salad from here, on Monday, July 3,2023. I saw my daughters vegetable salad and glad so missed out because it wasn’t work $20.
I go here often and have never had a poor experience like I had last night, 6/25. There was a sign posted that said “only taking online orders” which is honestly not as convenient as it’s made out to be, plus there’s a $.99 order processing fee. Great for us customers, thanks! Sure whatever, placed my order. I ordered the Hippie Love, sub vegan cheese, and wrote in the notes to put it on a wrap instead of a hoagie roll. When I got my food, it was on a hoagie roll - asked for him to remake it in a wrap and he did so kindly. Went to eat it and about 5 bites in realized he gave me dairy cheese. Asked him to remake it, he said he did. The worker was apologetic and kind, I just don’t think these mistakes would have happened if he had the time to hear me ask for these modifications. The poor kid was slammed with orders so I get it, things happen. But I think this could have been avoided had 1) more people been scheduled to work, and 2) ability to order face to face. Ended up not even eating my wrap because my group waited so long for me and my food to begin with. Total waste of $15.

Fantastic grape leaves, hummus and spicy green dressing — among the usual quality salad ingredients.

$42 for caprese salad , hummus plate and a teachers pet sandwich ( more like gas station special , very dry ) and a water and lemonade. Caprese salad had total of 4 cherry tomatoes and 4 mini mozzarella Balls drizzled with balsamic on top of a bunch of greens that had no dressing whatsoever . Plate of hummus had a slice of cold Naan and a bunch of dry nacho chips out of a bag and maybe 1/4 cup of hummus some cherry tomatoes and cucumber . Definitely felt like cafeteria food and not worth $42.Going to get some real food worth my money

This is such a brilliant hole in the wall place. I absolutely enjoyed how fresh and creative the food is. I left feeling so refreshed and revitalized. This will have to be a place I revisit. I recommend this for anyone who wants a new take on fresh salads that make you feel full and satisfied.
