32 Best Salad Restaurants in Sarasota

“I ordered pickup for my first time today and the food did not disappoint. It was seasoned very well, and you receive a nice sized portion with great selections to choose from. My only issue is that on the website there are no calories listed for the menu items. I would love to know how much I’m consuming without having to weigh out each section of the meal myself. Otherwise great pickup service and I will be ordering again.“

“Wow Wow Wow! Absolutely delicious and authentic Italian food! I never order pasta from a pizza joint... I'm way too serious about my pasta. I took a chance on Capo as I'd had a slice of their eggplant pizza and it was fabulous. I orded the rigatoni bolognese, and requested penne as a substitute. It was heaven. The sauce was perfect - the amount of garlic was subtley handled as was the rest of the seasoning. No bitterness and not too sweet either. You can tell the sauce had been cooked awhike and not rushed. The meat was high quality and the coupe de gras was to burrata! A huge helping of cheese right in the middle of the dish. The serving was huge... I only needed it for myself and I got 3 meals from it. Of course as all pasta lovers know it was even better the second day. I had the good fortune to be offered a meatball to try by the owner. I went back the next week for an order of meatballs and tried the gnocchi. Highly highly highly recommend giving this place a try!!!“

“We love this place! Great food, great service, reasonable prices. It’s everything I’m looking for when going to get breakfast with my fam.“

“Lived here for 12 years and just discovered this place. Definitely the BEST Italian restaurant around. Everything tasted like my mother and noni had prepared it. Caesar salad was the real thing. Gnocchi truly melted in my mouth. Sauce was exceptional.“

“We had a special celebration last night and I just can’t say enough about the experience at Miguel’s. The food is always delicious but the service and kindness of the staff is above par for many restaurants that I’ve been to. This beautiful restaurant is a such a gem, as well, for its culturally rich ambiance and long standing reputation. We are so fortunate to be able to celebrate the important moments in life at Miguel’s.“

“Excellent place to relax! Great people, great food.“

“Five stars for the little dude working tonight, his manager, gets one star. I had ordered a large fry and accidentally got a small. When i handed it back, this manager started screaming towards him “THROW IT AWAY. THROW IT AWAY.” While in front of me and my friends, how rude is that? This guy was so young. Management should definitely be more patient with their young employees.“

“I had the house salad as a side. It had a good variety of vegetables and the house balsamic dressing was amazing. I also had the stromboli with sausage and pepperoni. The stromboli had ricotta and mozzarella cheeses which made it better than a typical stromboli. I highly recommend Origin!“

“Best wings ever! Dog friendly seating outside. Favorite pizza in Sarasota and a healthy roasted veggie salad“

“I had an incredible experience at Three Natives! The atmosphere is always clean, welcoming, and upbeat, and the food is consistently fresh and delicious. Talor and Jailyn went above and beyond to make my visit great. Their customer service genuinely made the whole experience stand out.“

“From the moment I stepped into Blaze Pizza, it felt like I had wandered into a little world of magic—warm, welcoming, and full of joy. The sparkle of the experience truly came from Tiffany, who felt like a fairy godmother of customer service. With her bright smile, kindness, and cheerful energy, she instantly made the place feel special.

As my pizza was crafted, it felt less like an order and more like a magical creation coming to life. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made, but it was Tiffany’s enchanting attitude that made the experience unforgettable. She turned an ordinary visit into something straight out of a Disney dream.

If you’re looking for more than just great pizza—if you want a little magic with your meal—Blaze Pizza is the place to go, especially when Tiffany is there to make your day shine. ✨🍕“

“Had a fantastic experience at Olive Garden! The food was delicious, fresh, and exactly what we were hoping for—but what really made the night stand out was our waiter, Jeorge. He was incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcome from start to finish.

His service went above and beyond, and it truly elevated our entire dining experience. We’ll definitely be back—and hoping to have Jeorge again!“

“I love how Marianne assisted me today and made my bowl so well, she took the time to make sure it was the way I liked it. I love this Cava I go here once a week with my daughter and Marianne showed me how to get points too which is great. Everyone should go to this Cava!!!“

“Neat health food spot offering smoothies, salads, wraps, sandwiches, & smoothie bowls. Perfect for a post workout meal or light refreshing snack. I tried their Tequesta Dragon bowl with a very delicious dragonfruit base for the smoothie portion & tons of fresh berries on top with granola blended in between. The portions were pretty reasonable and the preparation was quick. In and out service is always the best. The staff was very friendly and had some great recommendations.“

From the dough, to the non acidic sauce and the amazing crunch and taste!

Ty for bringing Northern pizza to FL!

⭐️ Highly Recommend“

“We generally don’t eat at Panera because some of the other locations have been less than impressive in the past. On a whim, we decided to give this location a try and it was the BEST decision my fiancé and I have made recently! This Panera location ROCKS! Every member of the staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about their job. The food is insanely fresh, hot, and delicious, and they NEVER skimp on portions/ingredients! The menu items actually come out looking like they do in the advertisements - and they are loaded full of flavor. I recommend one of the new toasted baguette sandwiches; in particular, the Buffalo chicken is to die for! In addition to phenomenal food and service, the location is adorable and convenient; the outdoor seating is very cozy and inviting - you feel like you are eating in a garden. This is our new favorite casual dining spot to hit up at the UTC mall. Definitely check it out if you are in the area, you will certainly not regret it!“

“Through the recommendation of friends we went to the Sarasota location and we were surprised and delighted with our server Casey!!!! She suggested some summer cocktails What a delight to have a server who is good at their job and knows how to wait on thank you Casey for an amazing experience“

“We eat here two times a week because we live down the way. Great employees and quick line … Only thing lacking is the salt on their fries - please put more salt on your fries! I’d like to say this one more time for good measure, please put more salt on your fries. See you in a couple days - hopefully having more salt on our fries.“

“Very cozy and calm place that gives peaceful Christmas vibes. One thing I truly value is how friendly and polite the staff are. Sometimes the food delivery pick-ups disturb the atmosphere a bit, but that’s understandable — people are trying to survive in a world where AI and machines are taking over. Overall, I recommend stopping by.“

“Come here quite often and it seems like the crew has changed quite a bit in these past months; it's a Panera bread nothing special but they have definitely changed things up in this specific location quite a bit where things are much better now.“
