50 Best Salad Restaurants in Atlanta

“As a 26 year resident who's lived all over Atlanta, I hope Motorboat becomes a landmark staple. I visited on a night where staff was limited but Rebecca held it down managing the bar and the floor. She makes a pretty good old fashioned. However, there's room for improvement on the specialty cocktails.

Now for the food, tomato soup was very good. My party ordered the Chicago and the rachel. They were both good but not flavor bombs as. I feel the food was just OK when it should be crave worthy considering the location. Atl is not known for sandwiches so there's an opportunity here to fill a need. Especially, with all the transplants who love sandwiches. If I can get a note worthy sandwich in Chicago or NY for $14 why should I pay $17 for a basic one in Atl.“

“Dear Fresh 2 Order Leadership, I’m writing to recognize one of your team members, Ronald, who completely transformed our morning during a recent visit to your Concourse B location at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. In the 20 minutes we sat and enjoyed breakfast, we witnessed Ronald serve with a rare combination of energy, encouragement, and a true servant’s heart. He didn’t just attend to F2O guests, he supported everyone in the shared seating area, radiating care, joy, and intentionality with every interaction. It was inspiring. As a certified life and business coach and the Chief Joy Officer of JOYInc., I frequently teach about building personal value propositions, regardless of role or title. Ronald is now one of my go-to examples. His presence demonstrated that impact and excellence are not confined to position, but are driven by character and heart. I’d like to personally send Ronald a gift of appreciation. Could someone from your team help facilitate this? I don’t know what you pay Ronald, but I’ll say this: he is worth his weight in gold. Thank you for hiring and empowering someone of his caliber. He represents your brand with exceptional integrity and humanity. With Gratitude and Awe! Clif“

“Hi there! I just wanted to share a quick note about my experience. I stopped by recently and truly enjoyed myself. The drinks were wonderful and the food was amazing. I actually came twice in one day because it was just that good. The staff were all so kind and welcoming, and it was really nice to see the owner checking in and making sure everything was running smoothly and that everyone felt respected and taken care of. That level of care really shows. Thank you for creating such a warm and enjoyable place to visit. I’m looking forward to coming back again soon! 😊 Especially to see Lonnie at the bar … very inviting and personable !!!! And I love that he washes his hands in between and takes time to talk.“

“The best Vegan food I’ve tasted!“

“One of the best sandwich places! At first glance the sandwiches seem like crazy combinations but it is always delicious! I highly recommend coming as soon as they open because the wait can be very long during lunchtime… but the wait speaks for itself, people love this place and the food is worth the wait!“

“Chops Creative Salad Druid Hill location has the best food.If you are looking for a great place to eat stop by here .Customer Service was amazing.Restaurant was clean,Employees were friendly.Took care of you in a timely manner.“

“Stopped in for a quick afternoon beer and had a great time. Emma at the bar was amazing — super welcoming and let us try a few drafts before we decided. Their beer selection is strong, with plenty of interesting options to choose from. The outdoor patio is perfect too, really open, sunny, and just a comfortable place to kick back and enjoy a drink. The whole vibe is relaxed but fun, and it’s one of those spots that makes you want to stay longer than planned. Drinks were cold, service was friendly, and the energy was just right. Definitely a go-to if you’re in the area and looking for a good beer and a chill patio experience.“

“Great place! Graclee was great and very patient!“

“Absolutely love Pokeworks! Super fresh ingredients, great portion sizes, and so many ways to customize your bowl. Everything tastes amazing and the staff is always nice. Jocelyn recommended a flavorful bowl and couldn’t have chosen anything better. Highly recommend if you’re craving poke.“

“Pokeworks is my favorite place to get poke in Atlanta. Their ingredients are always fresh and large portioned. My only complaints are that sometimes the mobile orders get mixed up (i've gotten other people's poke bowl and missed items a few times), and the straw for the bubble tea is not large enough for the bubbles. Hopefully it's something that can be worked on! But overall i love this place and come here every week.“

“I really enjoy eating at this cafe. Their food is amazing specially their Club sandwich and Philly Cheese Steak! I also love their salad bar, it is super fresh and they offer different types of salads every day. The atmosphere is also super cozy and the staff is very kind and engaging.“

“First time eating here at Cava in Panama City Beach, Fl and my experience was AWESOME! Friendly staff, very very helpful because there are so many choices. Absolutely delicious! I’ll be back and I will recommend to everyone! ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“I highly recommend this chain! It breaks up the monotony of the other quick service bowl restaurants. They offer unique seasonal options for sauces and I love that they will give you the sauce and dressings on the side and you can administer it yourself. Fell in love with the jerk sauce Summer 2025 and I can’t wait to stop by again to try what’s new for fall 2025. Smart concept, quick service, healthy food, and lastly, I love the fact that they offer MOUTHWASH in the restroom.“

“Go go go! Right now! Run, don’t walk!!!

If I could give more stars I would!!! Everything and I mean absolutely EVERYTHING was delicious! Atmosphere and service were great as well!

Gluten free bun was delicious which is so so rare!

Wish we had a San Diego location!

If we’re ever back in Atlanta this will be the first restaurant on my list!!!“

“we enjoyed it outside seating at the Grind house Killer Burgers in Piedmont.our dog Milly enjoyed the outside vibe and enjoyed her pieces of our Cowboy Style Burgers.“

“I loved how beautifully decorated the restaurant is. It is definitely an AKA's dream brunch spot. Pink flowers and green furniture create a scene for any pretty girl to love. The food was good and reasonably priced. Parking was free and hassle free. Our waitress was friendly and doting to our needs. I recommend a booth for those soft cushions on your tush.“

“Amazing healthy bowls of Mediterranean flavors!! Love the chicken, the lentils, the hummus and the dill yogurt sauce!!! Nico and Ben and Alec were working hard keeping the line moving!!!“

“The workers here are very welcoming. Customer Service goes a very long way. The manager Mr. B Todd is a great leader. It takes a good team and this is it. Continued blessings to this location. 🙏🏽“

“Can't read your online menu, even when enlarged.“

“I ordered our food online and we were so hungry that we ate it when we got there! Everything was very delicious! The staff was very pleasant and the only issue was that they forgot to put the pita that came with my meal in our bag. I didn't get upset though because I am sure that it was an honest mistake!“

“Omg! This is the place to be! I love the food, everything well seasoned and perfectly cooked! I want to give a shot out to the amazing chef Mooka! Very professional staff, and I give this place a 10 star ⭐️ review. I will be returning“

“Salata is one of my favorite places to grab lunch. The service is always great and the food is always fresh and tasty. It's very nice to have a solid option for a healthy meal close to my office. If you get a tea tap drink, I highly recommend filling your cup almost full of sweet tea, then topping it with a little peach lemonade. :)“

“We had dinner here tonight after several hours at the Aquarium. The pizza was probably the best we’ve eaten around Atlanta and I’ve been here for over 20 years. Our server was friendly and on point. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable. If you are looking for a place to eat near the Aquarium, this is it! We will be back!“

“They have a delicious lychee Martini worth the try. Sushi is fresh. Service is attentive. Hand rolls are my go to. Tonight the table had the sushi dinner, hand rolls and sushi rolls, lo mein from kids menu and everything was delectable.“

“Overall Food taste amazing!
I ordered the grill chicken alfredo and
My friend ordered the chicken sandwich and fries (which were golden with the perfect crisp).
For desert we tried the churro oreos which taste delicious and the fried oreos. Both were good but the churro oreos were the best.
The customer service was great. Rick helped us. The ambiance was chill but cutesy with photo opportunities. Parking is free, you just have to park in their labeled spots. The spots say 20 min parking but if you're dinning in I was told thoes are the spots to use! I would recommend this restaurant.“

“Delicious food and drinks. Service and ambience were very good.“

“Highly recommend. Great food, great wine, great service.“

“Delicious, fresh food always! Great service thanks to Lizzy and Stephen working the counter. Beautiful garden space too! They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. Healthy, tasty soups, sandwiches, and salads!“

“A fantastic fusion of Turkish and Persian cuisine. I was in Atlanta for a week long trip and was looking for a Turkish restaurant the last day before flying out. I found Banu, it was not in the list of recommended Turkish restaurants that I got from local friends. One I had tried had ended up disappointing for me, so I wanted to give Banu a chance…I am so glad I did.
I tried lentil soup, dolma (yaprak sarmasi in Turkish), a bit of doner, rice, Soltani, and baklava.
Lentil soup was OK, very delicious but not extraordinary.
Yaprak sarmasi was one of finest examples that I tried in USA over my 20 years in the country. It was the vegetarian version (several other regional cuisines, including Turks, also cook a version with meat) with pine kernels, rice, onions and tomato paste. It was the first time I tried this dish with tomato paste, it was very balanced and unique, a fantastic derivative of this ages old dish, an outcome of Kiki, the owner chef of Banu.
My next items was Beef Soltani. Both the koobideh and chenjeh were amazing. Although these are Persian names of the items, the taste was closer to the Turkish derivatives, but also thanks to the magical touch of the chef, they were not overly hot, spicy, or greasy. They were also serves with vegetables and lavaj rather than safran rice as I am used to seeing in other Persian restaurants. You have to order safran rice separately but you really do not have to, especially if you are alone. It comes in a huge plate, like other Persian restaurants, and will be difficult to finish, but it is a very well cooked dish.
As I said, I also tried doner. Its taste is very good with modifications of Kiki. It is not exactly like the best you could find Turkey (and Kiki explained to me why) but one of the better ones I’ve tried in USA, and definitely light years ahead of the doner I tried in another very highly reviewed and recommended Turkish restaurant in Atlanta which I had tried a couple of days ago.
…and baklava, omg!!!! It is one of the best baklava I have tried in USA if not the best and it is at par with the best baklava you can try in Turkey, though I would likely prefer little more butter. Its crunchiness is at the right level, dough is opened as thin as it should be and it is filled with right amount of pistachios. I even asked if it baked in house or imported from somewhere (many Turkish restaurants import their baklava from Turkey or outsource to factories in New Jersey) and they said it is baked in house. Fantastic dessert!!!!
So, were there not any issues, yes of course. Nothing is perfect in life. When I escalated my issue to the chef-owner, Kiki, she just reacted with a big smile and a sincere apology, and offered me an additional serving of baklava and 2 bottles of Uludag gazoz (a Turkish brand of soda).
Verdict…a fabulous experience of Turkish and Persian cuisine as combined by talented touches of Kiki, the chef-owner of Banu.
I am looking forward to my next trip to Atlanta.“

“Me and hubby come every Wednesday our date day. They haven't let us down yet!!!!!!“
