Tried out mission salad for lunch today. This place is amazing!! I ordered a few different dishes for people in the office, and every single person loved it. I have been looking for a proper salad place in this area for a while, but had no luck until now. I will definitely be becoming a regular here!

I only recently found this place and I love it! The Mediterranean salad was fresh, full of fresh veggies and dressing was delicious!

I absolutely love this place!!! I go in once a week and see the same 2 lovely, smiling woman behind the counters. The place is very clean and welcoming. My favorite food item is the Poke bowl with a generous amount of Ahi Tuna. The spicy mayo is extremely creamy and seems like made there daily. I also love they offer different drinks that are not Coke or Pepsi products. They added some soup to the menu which adds something for everyone place. You can tell they put a lot of pride and love into their establishment.

A cute, small salad shop. There is only three or four tables inside and no bathrooms, so it is more of a grab and go style eatery rather than a sit down spot. The staff was friendly and made my salad quickly. All of the ingredients tasted fresh - and they chop it all up and mix it together to ensure all of it is mixed together nicely. They could even mix in your dressing or put it on the side based upon preference. The only thing I did not like was the chicken - tasted frozen and some pieces were just hard breading.

I created my own salad with buttermilk ranch dressing. The dressing has zero flavor. It's basically a bowl of wet lettuce. I had really high hopes for this place but I'm disappointed.

The menu needs some UX attention. I ordered online here. The menus at GrubHub and DoorDash don't have the details so I worked off the menu on the website. It is visually appealing but needs to provide more info.There was no "dressing on the side" or even "light dressing" options so I assumed dressing came on the side by default. Wrong. My salad is more dressing than anything else. The menu should make it clear and the online systems should streamline the options to make it easy to tailor the salad to the person instead of offering a list of 47 options except the ones that are needed.The South of the Border salad is so spicy that I could only eat 2 bites and my mouth is still burning 20 mins later. There should be a little pepper symbol or some kind of warning on this. I don't believe this is a reasonable spice level for an average consumer. I just wasted a bunch of money on something I can't eat. I also can't see any of the avocado I added and only found a couple pieces of chicken after poking around.I think this place is almost there but needs some usability adjustments to make it really work.

I've had a few different salads from Mission salad and they've all been fresh and tasty. A half salad fills me up, so it makes for a reasonably priced and tasty lunch. Lettuce is crisp. Theres an abundance of options to create your own. Best to order ahead as they get busy at times.

Spiciest salad I have ever had! I ordered the south of the border salad as is and my mouth has never burned so much from a salad! There are spicy peppers in the salad which I didn’t anticipate(didn’t know what shishito peppers were before now). I would recommend they add a warning (spicy) to the salad.The salad would have been great if the peppers werent there, it almost makes it inedible of how spicy it is.

Really good salad. The people working kept the place clean between orders. Don’t be fooled when you just see lettuce. Must of the toppings were on the bottom or mixed in which I liked. It makes it easier to put the dressing on the greens. I would definitely come back.

I really really wanted to love this place…and yet nope. The portion of greens in a full salad is EXTREMELY generous.. so generous that you can barely see or taste the toppings. I even questioned if they put avocado in mine but they assured me it disappears when chopped ? for a $17 salad it really disappointed.

Now been here 3 times and every time has been perfect. I would recommend to order ahead if you are in a rush though. Making a FRESH cut salad does actually take time. ;-) I Got a cob salad and it was made fresh, quickly, exactly as described, and delicious! And for a large (or they call it "full") WITH chicken it's only $12!

Veered off 84 halfway through a road trip planning on settling for lunch at Starbucks. Delighted to find a local salad shop instead, in the same plaza. We got the "Power" specialty salad -- and the wrap with the same ingredients -- and loved it. If only we could find free range chicken and kale on every road trip!

I am now a regular here and I just love their poke bowls. I always wanted to go to a place where my name is remembered and known for my regular order lol. The workers there are very nice and your order is always ready at a good amount time!!!!! Definitely come by Mission salad and support the business!!!!!
