19 Best Salad Restaurants in Gainesville

“In love with this restaurant 🤤🤤🤤“

“Love it!!“

“The food was great but the service left my wife and I in awe after a crazy park adventure with our children. Before we even got our order we received fresh cut strawberries for our boys. The dining area is kept in tip top shape and table service provided by Casey was impeccable. What pushed me over the edge to leave a review was my trip to the bathroom. Not only was the bathroom spotless but it actually smelled nice lol. Thanks Blaze for an effortless lunch with two kids.“

“Had a wonderful pre Christmas family dinner and loved everything! Service was excellent as was food, cocktails and wine! My filet was tender and flavorful!!“

“The food was absolutely fantastic.“

“Amazing food!!! I had the Vegan chili cheeseburger and onion rings I'll definitely be back.“

“irst time going to Cava- What a find! There was a line, but no one in line got upset , I suppose because they knew they were going to get WONDERFUL food! Brenda was working the line, and she was really efficiently going- getting every order right, and not getting frustrated. Although there were a lot of people, we didn't wait long, and whatever time it was- it was SO worth it! The food was, (sorry Zoes Kitchen), the best Mediterranean around. The sauces were fresh and bright and very flavorful! Lamb kebab and falafel were tender and spiced well. Lettuces and vegetables were fresh and crisp. I just wish I could have tried everything- I don't think I would have been disappointed! Eat outside if the weather permits. Oh! Also, The ambient music was even good and surprisingly different from the ubiquitous droning normally heard in todays restaurants!“

“Great catering . We ordered over 500 boxes and this franchisee delivered!“

“5 out 5 stars! Super friendly staff, our orders are always perfect and hot. LOVE the milkshakes. Took a bunch of lacrosse players there after practice and I think we have a new milkshake tradition!“

“In January 2026 we had a baby shower for my daughter at the cafe. Sarah and the staff were great!! We had a big party, and they did everything they could to make it special. The food, atmosphere, music and price were great. I couldn't ask for anything more. If you ever have a special event this is the place to have it.“

“First time there the Greek salads were awesome…“

“I will say eating inside is always enjoyable and the food is great, but to-go leaves something lacking. It's always 20 to 40 minutes past the ready by time even for small orders, and if there's no spots available for curbside, they tell you to just wait longer. They need to have a more dedicated staff for to-go which is a large part of their business.“

“Great pizza at a great price!!!“

“First time here and we loved it!! Sarah was awesome! All 4 of us loved our dinner! Great wine! A Must stop in Gainesville!!“

“My service was excellent. The manager (Christy Oliver) herself brought out my food, she went above and beyond in her customer service. The store was clean, as busy as it was it was not chaos, food was made and served promptly. Although I live out of town I frequent this restaurant frequently and have always had EXCELLENT service.“

“People always part there that shouldn’t“

“This is chick fil a has three lanes. A pass through lane, a drive through lane, and a lane for orders that were placed online. Their service is fast friendly and easy.
This chick fil a is easy to get in and out of. I did not go inside but I know they have the dining here.
Our food was fresh as usual.“

“I had an excellent experience at Panera Bread from the moment I walked in. The restaurant was clean and inviting and the atmosphere made it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. The staff greeted me with a smile and were patient while I decided what to order. They were friendly knowledgeable and made sure everything was prepared exactly as requested.

The food was fresh flavorful and served quickly. Every ingredient tasted high quality and you could tell care was put into preparing the meal. My order was accurate and presented well and everything from the bread to the soup and drink tasted fantastic. It is refreshing to visit a restaurant where both the food and the customer service consistently meet such a high standard.

What impressed me most was how hard the team worked while still maintaining a positive attitude. Even during a busy rush they stayed organized efficient and courteous with every customer. That level of professionalism does not go unnoticed.

Overall this was one of the best dining experiences I have had in a long time. Great food excellent service and a welcoming environment make this a place I will happily return to again and again. I highly recommend Panera Bread to anyone looking for a delicious meal and outstanding customer service.“

“Didn’t like the flatbread pizza! But the strawberry salad is amazing like usual! They need to make this available all year long, and stop making it a seasonal item!“
