36 Best Salad Restaurants near Ellenton

“We are new to the area. We just moved from St Cloud Fl not Michigan(LOL). What made it special of going here to eat was Kelly. She showed us her courtesy and overall great hospitality. This made it to the top of our list of ones to come back too. Kelly was also very knowledgeable of the menu and the surrounding area. She answered all our questions. Thanks again Kelly.“

“great restaurant great food and great staff!“

“Love the music!!! Great mix of tunes and everybody was friendly, our server was April and she was a complete pro and a seasoned vet. My drinks stayed full and she was on point in every way possible, that being said the back of the house needs to tighten with the salad bar. I mean heavens to Betsy you got one job and I paid for a tomato so I want freaking tomato, and don’t give me the “We’re short staffed!” horse puckey either…..DO BETTER!“

“We have been here twice and guess I missed posting a review the first time.

That being said, Naked Farmer is an excellent choice for a healthier and cleaner fare.

Our first visit, was so good, we brought friends for the second.

Nice selection of proteins, bases, and sides. The menu rotates with the seasons and everything is prepared perfectly.

This time I had the charred chicken atop a squash farrow base with roasted carrots and a squish medley for sides. I added a little harissa sauce for some tingle (that's just my preference). Even had a small bottle of sauvignon blanc too.

The only downside to this location, is the location. It is tucked away in the center strip behind UTC. Traffic and parking are a nightmare, especially on the weekends.

No fault of the restaurant by any means. Just be advised.

Service is good and prices are certainly fair for the times.

We'll be back again soon.“

“The experience and food have always been top notch. I try to go monthly, I would go more but I drive from the other end of Bradenton to make sure I get my Thai fix. I have tried the soups and appetizers! All wonderful and the employees are welcoming.“

“Anna Maria Oyster Bar - Ellenton, FL After spending the day at the Florida State Fair in Tampa, my fiancé and I decided to stop by Anna Maria Oyster Bar in Ellenton—and we’re so glad we did! We ordered fried oysters, French fries, and cheese grits, and everything was absolutely delicious. The oysters were fried to perfection, crispy on the outside yet tender and flavorful inside. The cheese grits were just the way I like them—nice and thick—and the fries were a great complement to the meal. Even better, our food arrived quickly and fresh. Our waitress, Lilly, was fantastic, providing friendly and attentive service. We also appreciated how the rest of the staff greeted us warmly as we walked through the restaurant. It’s little details like that that make a place feel extra welcoming. The restaurant itself was clean and well-kept, including the bathrooms, which is always a big plus. Anna Maria Oyster Bar now has four locations, and after this experience, I’d definitely visit again. If you’re in the Ellenton area and craving fresh seafood with great service, this spot is a must-try!“

“Great Fresh Food & I Love It!“

“My son took me to Little To Jo for my birthday. It was one of the most pleasant meals out i have had in a long time. The food was exceptional and the plates were over flowing. The wait staff were courteous, smiling and trying to please. The decor was calm and you could talk to your dinner companions. I had a wonderful conversation with the table next to us. I will definitely go there again. It is one of the best restaurants in my area.“

“We ordered the ham and other side dishes for Christmas. It was so delicious! Portions were generous and we look forward to the leftovers. We will order again. Thank you!!“

“Got the piezilla last night. Probably in my top 3 best pizzas. Including the several places in NYC and Chicago I’ve been too. Nice work.“

“Thai Bistro was our first stop on vacation and wow were we surprised! Not only was the food amazing, the customer service and hospitality were incredible! We told the owner that we had never been here before and she explained her favorite recipes with enthusiasm and incredible detail. The owner is passionate about making the food / each plate/ delicious and fresh. Impressive hearing about where she finds the very best ingredients and we loved hearing about the legacy of some of these recipes. When she brought out our food, she also brought a plate of spices, all homemade. Highly recommend! (Pictured below: pineapple fried rice in a grilled pineapple)“

“I normally don’t leave reviews for good or bad service and food BUT this place deserves a review for literally the best garlic knots, pinwheels, rolls, anything that is made out of their fresh dough. I had zero expectations and they have exceeded them millions of times with great service and amazing food. Unfortunately I don’t live close by but maybe that is a good thing. Hats off to this amazing kept secret.“

The pizza is always excellent, perfectly cooked, and just the way we like it every single time. 🍕 Betsy went above and beyond with her customer service — she was so kind, attentive, and made our experience even better. We’ve been here a few times already and decided this will definitely be a Friday night staple for our family. Highly recommend MOD Pizza for anyone looking for great food and great service!“

“First time I went there and I had one of the best experiences I’ve ever had going to a restaurant for the first time. I told Maryetta the manager that it was my first time, and she was very helpful in showing me the different options and letting me try samples, as I hadn’t been there before. The food was absolutely delicious, very fresh, and a great value as well. I will definitely be coming back! If you’re thinking about trying this place out, just do yourself a favor and do it!“

“The overall service use to be amazing at this Olive Garden. We have come here several times over the years and this is the worst front staff I’ve ever experienced. I checked in and was told it would be a 15 minute wait and told them that I had people coming but instead of seating us after 25 minutes passed I came up to ask the pregnant hostess if they were waiting for my party or something because we’ve been waiting and she was like oh yeah yeah we are without so much as looking at me or apologizing for the wait. There were several of them up there that were just laughing and joking around unprofessionally and the pregnant hostess was eating up there talking with the other ladies at the podium while they ignored us. She disappeared completely for several minutes and after 30 minutes I asked a girl who showed up if we were going to be seated because my party was waiting. She said she would check because she just got there. She went to find the pregnant hostess and told her we were waiting 30 minutes and my daughter overheard her denying it. I’m just not used to that at any restaurant. If you tell me 15 minutes and it’s not busy in there then we have better be seated whether we are waiting for people to arrive or not. It put me in such a terrible mood that I wanted to leave but thankfully our waiter came right away and was amazing. He was very attentive and kind and I felt he deserved a good tip. What made me write this review was when we left there were a gaggle of women at the front with the pregnant hostess and we all noticed that they just stared at us and didn’t say the usual thank you have a good night. No one bothered to politely open the door like they have always done for us in the past. You just knew that they we’re talking bad about you. If this is what this Olive Garden restaurant is turning into then I have to stop coming. I don’t know what’s up with those women but this is their place of work not a place to gossip and bullshit about their life or talk shit about their paying customers who are there to be treated with some measure of respect and kindness when they are out with their family for dinner. I hope a manager sees this review and addresses this issue of plain rudeness. We are also not white and so obviously white people were being treated better and seated immediately. By the way, our pregnant hostess was black but for some reason thinks it’s ok to be rude to us. If this ever happens to us again, a complaint will definitely be filed to your corporate management or the BBB. I will not tolerate this behavior in front of my family.“

“Very friendly staff, especially Hannah. She is always smiling and is very efficient. You can tell she loves her job by the way she treats her guests! Piesanos is one of our go to restaurant's for that reason and not to mention the great tasting food!“

“This is a store inside a gas station. This location doesn't have a full Quiznos menu. The sandwich I wanted isn't served here. The sandwich I did order was good. Staff was friendly. Just be aware this isn't the usual Quiznos store front.“

“The WiFi at my Airbnb was not working so I came here to get some food and get some work done. I was there for almost three hours. I was extremely impressed with the atmosphere and friendliness of the employees, especially Mike and Daisy. Their customer service was above and beyond and I would be happy if they were my employees. I would absolutely recommend this Chick-fil-A to everyone.“

“Blaze Pizza is one of the best pizzas I've ever had. My family and I love this place! I have personally been to 6 different locations for Blaze Pizza and this one definitely has the best customer service of any of them so far.
Thank you Mackenzie for your Stellar Service!“

“Naomi was awesome! We were missing an item from our order and she quickly expedited getting our missing nuggets! Thanks!“
