24 Best Salad Restaurants in Columbus

“I just moved here to Georgia, and was happy to try CSC, because I had seen videos of it on TikTok. I was immediately greeted by the SWEETEST worker! I told Nyla, that it was my first time here at CSC, and she gave me the run down of the menu, popular picks, and let me sample several flavors. My taste buds were blown away, by the different mild, bold, sweet and spicy flavors. I became an instant fan!

Nyla went above and BEYOND with her customer service, made me feel so welcomed and made my first experience here at Chicken Salad Chick such positive and memorable one. I definitely will be returning to get my CSC. The only “negative” part of this first time experience was trying to choose which flavors to take home with me. I kept it to 4, haha.“

“Y'all. This is my new place. Seriously. The massive amount of healthy options, the ability to customize, freshness, and THE PORTION SIZE. Got a $12 salad yesterday that could have easily been 3 BIG side salads. Even the atmosphere inside just screams "you are going to feel GOOD after you eat here!" And the Midland Commons area is so nice and relaxing, especially considering the proximity to JR Allen. But I can easily imagine going for a nice walk or run on the Fall Line and then heading right over here for a healthy and delicious lunch or smoothie, sitting outside and enjoying the day. Not sure of anywhere else in Columbus that has this amount of variety and healthy options so check it out!“

“I had a great experience at the CAVA in Columbus, Georgia. The staff was extremely friendly and very well organized. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted right away and genuinely felt like a valued customer.

Jay, in particular, stood out — his positive attitude and attention made a real difference. I truly appreciated him giving me what was called the “show the love” discount. Small gestures like that go a long way and really set this location apart.“

“The Loft is the #1 spot for live music in Columbus. They offer a variety of music on a few different stages and have excellent sound equipment and technicians. They are also known for exceptional staff and service. It is a staple in the southern music scene, and the owner has been providing top notch entertainment nonstop since the 1990's.“

“Coffee is on point. Food was bomb diggity! And the service was fast and top notch.“

“Im a regular here. I love this location. ALL the servers and bartenders are great. Tania and April are my favorites, though they are all great. I frequent usually by myself. Food is good and the salad bar is a good choice. Always some type of special to take advantage of.“

“We had such a great time at Red Eight Ramen! Our server, CC, was absolutely wonderful — super friendly, attentive, and made us feel really taken care of the whole time. The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. We enjoyed every single bite.

Overall, the atmosphere, service, and food were all perfect. We live in Georgia but we’ll definitely be coming back. Thank you, CC, for making our visit so great!“

“Sophia was a tad slow in our service. When Big Baby came and checked on us as she was checking on others we informed her of the issues and she made all well! She was extremely attentive and went above and beyond for us. We have had Big Baby before and she truly makes each visit memorable-She treats us AS FAMILY!!“

“all good 🐱😊 come on down“

“Everybody is very friendly & and the food is great. We have dinner every Friday night.“

“We go here all the time with family and friends. It’s become our go to dinner spot. The Tom kha soup is a must and we got the leftovers packed and it travels really well and stays fresh in the fridge too. We got the spring rolls and fried rice along with the noodles - all of which are extremely filling and savoury. There are a lot of vegetarian/vegan options for those with dietary restrictions.“

“Great food and a good atmosphere. The birria is my favorite so far. I've only had to wait for a table during dinner hours in the weekend. Definitely not the cheapest food, but quality. My only concern is in the women's restrooms...I usually lock it then press the door handle to make sure its locked. These handles unlock when you move the handle or they don't actually lock.“

“Great food Great service one of my favorite spots for over 20 years“

“Good food, but check your order alwayss getting it wrong 😑“

“We just finished our lunch at the Landings location and it was wonderful from beginning to the end. The very young staff was amazing! It was our pleasure to tip them, they were very informative, helpful and FUN to talk with. The pizzas were perfect and delicious. l can't wait to return and eat here again. Keep this staff and you have us for life! 5 stars all the way! Dan and Jennifer Dailey“

“I had a really low blood sugar. It was 49 and I felt like I was going to pass out. Trying to act quickly I placed a very out order for a sprite. I felt awful. When I got there I didn’t see it and wondered if I had placed it for the wrong place. The staff, Josh who I believe was a manager, quickly responded. He too is a type 1 juvenile diabetic and understood my urgency. He quickly got me what I needed. Alllowed me to sit down and recover and even checked on me bringing me a cookie. He treated me with so much kindness and compassion and I wasn’t the most pleasant customer because I felt so bad. His professionalism and willingness to help me meant so much. I commend his ability to recognize my distress, remain calm and help me without any delay.“

“I visited this establishment on 9-6-2025 at 5:45 the young lady at the window had excellent customer service skills ty young lady 🙃🙃🌸“

“My grandson and I eat at Newks 2 times a week for an after school medium pizza. They have the best personal pizza and up until today they had the best pickles. They just changed brands and that is a disappointment. Friendly service which is excellent. We love it!!“

“My last trip to Chick-Fil-A was on 10/16/2025. Everything went well the food and service was on point as usual. But sadly this will be my last visit until change occurs. Recently in Augusta GA a Black Police officer was denied the same complimentary meal that his white co workers received. He was embarrassed....and I am embarrassed for Chick-fil-A. Shame on you. So since he was shown no respect 😒 you Chick-fil-A can no longer have any of my money.“

“I had such a great time at this branch! I got their breakfast and I got my meal really quickly and the service here was excellent! The staff were super high energy and friendly even though it was like 6:30am and that was super impressive! I'd definitely come back here“

“Went today and air conditioning was not working. Sweet young lady, McKenzie, took our order while wiping sweat off her forhead. Food was tasty but we ended up sitting outside since it was cooler. I went back inside to get a box for my leftovers. Asked McKenzie how long A/C had been off. She said since the a.m 🙄 Needless to say I wrote corporate and e-mail. McAllister’s is lucky their employees stayed today !“

“Went to the Zaxbys on Macon first, but it was absolutely filthy so we left.

We decided to try this location because my husband REALLY wanted to try Zaxbys while we were out here in Georgia. This location was MUCH better. It was clean, no weird/gross smells, friendly service, and the food is DELICIOUS. I am glad we decided to give Zaxbys a second chance instead of just going by how bad the first location was.“

“Racially profiled today at my favorite place white bald guy with a beard red shirt glasses tall white young man with green Panera hat left me standing waiting at the front counter today ignoring me as a loyal customer served white when I walked away its March 25 2025 not 1865.“
