38 Best Salad Restaurants near Windsor Locks

“Debbie is the sweetest. She checked up while I was waiting, eating, etc, while tending the bar. When I confessed I was not a fan of what I ordered, she took it upon herself to make it better in 20 different ways. Thanks, Debbie! And the cook, whose name I did not get.“

“Although it's now a haul from the furthest tip of New Haven County to our closest Ruby, it is well worth it, especially as App Member. Besides the overall experience being above average, the waitress in our most recent visits has been sparkly and attentive. The salad bar is the plus to every meal.“

“So fresh and delicious! #7th Day Give Back Event to benefit local food banks!“

“My daughter in law bought me a large new England salad 3 weeks ago . I ate 2 days off of it. It was the best. So I invited my friend and neighbor to join me today. A new restaurant that is friendly and let us talk and never rushed us. I will definitely go back. Thank you for a wonderful lunch. You are all good chefs.“

“I have been wanting to check out this cozy little nook for some time now. So I stopped in unplanned on my way home. I tried the ginger tea with honey and the Tom Yum soup with shrimp. I was hoping for a comfort meal and it was that and more. The tea was the best ginger tea that I have ever had. I really enjoy the bits of ginger it in. The soup was so fresh and hot and perfectly spiced. Everything was so well balanced. It felt like home. It was all made with love and care. Even the way it is packaged. This place is worth it. The food is good, the inside is warm and cozy and relaxing and inviting and it's filled with love that shines through all they do. I am proud of this place on so many levels.“

“We had the Thanksgiving sandwich it did not disappoint… everything was fresh and homemade and when you see Hosmer Soda sign in the window you know they know what they are doing!!!! We will be back again 😊“

“I love this restaurant. The food is always good and the female wait staff is great. The males, are on the rude side....one time throwing steak knives across the table when we requested them to cut our steaks. Every time we dine here, I am so annoyed with the lighting. Fluorescent lighting in a fine dining establishment is the worst. Please...please ...please put in recessed lighting that can be dimmed to make for a romantic dining experience.“

“Used the app for takeout. Easy ordering, quick pickup. Salads were good, but a little difficult to eat out of the bowl. Better to dump it into a larger bowl at home.

Parking: The parking lot is often crowded. You may need to park far away and take a hike...“

My meal was made with love by a very hospitable and accommodating staff named, Dorian. She was so sweet and super friendly. Very clean establishment. They have a wide variety of drinks and deserts as well. They even offer outdoor seating. Their dining room is super spacious too! Try it out!

Parking: Huge free parking lot!“

“I feel it’s important to share Three Figs is under new management and has made quite a turnaround. I waited until I experienced several successful visits before writing this review so I could be certain in my recommendation. I’ve now dined in a small group, a larger group, in the dining room, in the bar and as part of a civic group banquet in the back room. Each time, I have been pleased and satisfied. The food has been delicious (both regular menu and specials) and the service prompt & exceptional. I find the atmosphere warm & welcoming, reminding me of Cheers (the neighborhood place where everybody knows your name). Our dinner this past week was a positive experience in specific ways. We didn’t have a reservation and the parking lot was packed. Yet our wait was surprisingly short, and enjoyable at the bar with friendly service. Once in the dining room, our server was kind, helpful and happy…and very accommodating when a substitution was requested on an order at our table. The manager even helped serve our plates and made sure we were all enjoying our experience. Noting that the staff worked well together and were all happy…it implies that working there must be positive for them as well. The restaurant itself was also very clean and comfortable. In the past, I could not have shared these same words and had nearly given up on this local, convenient spot. So it pleases me very much to see the new management has turned it around. Having a great spot so close by is appreciated. Congrats Three Figs…your efforts are worth it!“

“Stopped in recently and enjoyed the Street Fries: cottage fries covered with a delicious Greek sauce, feta cheese, chopped veges and shaved lamb. A little on the salty side(feta cheese) but very satisfying. Delicious butter pecan ice cream for dessert from Grass Roots. Service was friendly. Happy to have such a wide variety of foods to choose from in and near the Granby Center“

“I have never eaten at a chick fil A before. My girlfriend wanted something quick to eat and we decided to order online and pick it up. The professionalism I witnessed at this particular location when I walked in was outstanding. I have never before seen such an orchestrated team effort. I never understood the hype behind this food chain, but I must say if all locations are run in the same manner bravo.“

“This dining spot is located in the Marriott Hotel on Day Hill Road. After work, my guest and I stopped in for apps and drinks. We enjoyed the Point Judith Calamari and the wings.
The inviting atmosphere and excellent service make this dining experience a plus for business travelers. The menu is a little pricey but not out of line for 4-star hotels.

Will definitely come back for lunch or dinner.“

“We came here on Sunday, January 26th, 2025.

We walked in, and Chavez greeted us immediately, seated us as soon as possible, and was a lovely gentleman to chat with while waiting. (We weren’t waiting long, but it’s always nice to be able to be personable with staff).

Austin, our server, was delightful to us and the rest of the customers he seated around us this evening. He was knowledgeable about the specials and other menu items. He made sure to check on us frequently, and brought us everything we asked for efficiently. (He recommends the Chicken Alfredo with extra crispy chicken and broccoli).

Our food couldn’t be described as anything less than amazing. Yes, it’s your “standard” Olive Garden food: the breadsticks, salad, pasta, etc. BUT, our salad was plated BEAUTIFULLY, and our food came out at the perfect temperature, and delicious.

I ordered the Seafood Alfredo, and he ordered one of the specials: The Three Meat Manicotti. My scallops and shrimp tasted fresh, and were seared carefully. The manicotti was beyond expectations, and very tasty.

Those things, and a couple Shirley Temples brought the total to $51.38 (with tax).

We had a wonderful dinner here today, and definitely recommend this location!

Thank you for reading, and don’t forget to tip your servers!!“

“My family loves this place.

Chick-fil-A – Consistently Delicious and Friendly

Chick-fil-A sets the standard for fast-food chicken sandwiches. The chicken is always fresh, perfectly crispy, and well-seasoned, served on a soft, buttery bun with just the right amount of pickles. Their signature sauces take the flavor to the next level.

Beyond the food, the service is consistently friendly and efficient. Even during busy hours, the staff keeps things moving with a smile. The restaurant is clean, and the atmosphere is welcoming. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or sitting down to enjoy your meal, Chick-fil-A delivers quality and consistency every time.

For those with dietary restrictions, the Enfield location offers gluten free options.

Dietary restrictions: To get gluten-free, you have to get the grilled chicken sandwich and gluten free bun“

“I love the Philly steak sandwich!!! It was delicious!! Salvatore: Thank you, thank you, than you!“

“Service was outstanding. Owner explained specials walked around visiting customers making sure everything was great. Started with shrimp cocktail and stuffed mushrooms. Moved into the scallop dinner and wife had a pasta dish oh and the homemade soup then dessert all food was incredible can’t say enough good about this place“

“I'm a fan of their pizza, and it's one of a few places where I can get the one I want - eggplant, mushroom and anchovy! I also like their Liberty Special Grinder (lots of vegetables) - I know I sound like a vegetarian but I'm not, LOL.“

“I ordered take out, as we do a lot. We found the food enjoyable and plentiful. Olive Garden takes heat for "not being real Italian food." It is what it is. There are plenty of Italian/ Greek places to eat. The Olive Garden employs a decent amount of people and provides a comfortable atmosphere and pretty good food. If you don't particularly like them, don't go. No need to put a place down, as others probably find it to be just fine.

Parking: Very large parking lot.

Wheelchair accessibility: Of course its ADA compliant. They have strict codes they must observe“

“showed up around 11:30am and order a breakfast sandwich. they made it in a fairly short time and it was quite tasty. The service was okay, prices were kinda high, but prices everywhere is high other than that I have no complaints. I recommend visiting if in the neighborhood.

Parking: in front and side of business, roughly 12 to 15 parking spots.

Wheelchair accessibility: I believe you can get into the front door fairly unchallenged.“

“As a local business owner that frequents Anthony's Restaurant, I've yet to have a less than great experience. Many locals truly appreciate the quality the owner puts into his authentic dishes. The pizza is always great, with generous toppings, the meatballs are homemade and flavorful, the sauce is also taseful and the dishes are plentiful! The owner has been in the business for decades and truly cares deeply about thir customers experiences and is very friendly. This restaurant includes a family effort, they provide a clean and positive family experience and local business love their food as well. I know personally, because I provide gift cards on behalf of business relationships in the area & their always happy with their experiences. I recommend giving them another try - to those who had unfortunate past experience, they've got a better crew than they once had. Keep in mind it's been profoundly challenging these past few years on small businesses & good help dosen't come easy.“

“Quick service Its a great place to sit down and eat. Very updated the menu is as advertised tonight we had sat and ate, ken parm great taste and well prepared in a timely manner. I have all waised like the place as a comfort food go to check out the photos go and enjoy

Parking: Massive all around building“

“I just had the most heartwarming experience! 8/19/24 at 6:30 pm) I was standing outside of this location for a few minutes, hoping the intense pouring rain would let up so I wouldn’t get completely soaked walking to my car - no more than 5 minutes. An employee (long-ish blonde hair, partially pulled back on both sides) came out and asked if I need an umbrella! I wasn’t a customer, yet she noticed my debacle, and came out to offer help. I think we can all learn from her to keep spreading kindness! To management - you’ve got a true gem on your hands. Thank you for reminding me to pay it forward.“

“Orlando is the BEST.We had ordered ahead and our order was not as we had indicated.HOWEVER, the front man, Orlando went above and beyond and fixed everything quickly with a great attitude, including replacing an entire meal.Thank you Orlando!!!“

“Your standard Panera, if you've seen one you've seen most, and thats a good thing. Food was good, bread was fresh, soda options were decent. Food came out pretty quickly.

Parking: Standard lot, very easy to park

Kid-friendliness: Panera is definitely kid friendly, with booths and high chairs to make it easy. Kids menu makes it simple to order, although my kids will go through a full sized mac and cheese with no problem.“

“This is my favorite location. It’s clean, the staff are all friendly and I love their patio.

-The only negative is how bad these people have been gaslighting me about the size of their chai ?. At first it was a standard size, then they had the option for standard or large…..then they got rid of that option so when I would order a large they would say it’s only a standard size, there is no large. I checked the kiosk myself and sure enough there was no option for large anymore. Then all of a sudden they had a large size again, then they didn’t. I just went TODAY and there IS a large chai option. I’m not going insane! Why you guys did me like that all these months? ? I had employees looking at me like I had two heads and saying “we’ve never had a large for the chai?” Like what are you taking about….? Nope, you did multiple times and I had ordered them and you once again have it now.“

“If they had a zero star I would had given it first of all the manager gave my order to someone else than he refused that he wasn't gonna make another until I put some common sense into him this place has the worse customer service by the management ever this experience was awful on how they treat people on top of that I handle it without an argument like he did it was very unprofessional of him never again I will come here it's just sad they have people like that running this place to the ground no wonder they don't even make it to a 4 star place its disgusting“
