29 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.“

“I placed an online order for a quick lunch pickup. The new salmon bowl looked delicious. I thought the bowl looked a little on the lean side with the veggies and other additions. For the price i would have expected the bowl contents to at least reach the line on the bowl.

The flavor was very good and even though the bowl looked to be pretty light for my first visit I’ve seen positive reviews. Maybe, visiting in person makes a difference. I will try Cava again on another occasion.“

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

“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.“

“I always get their Tokyo Hot Ramen with extra pork chashu and hot-level spiciness, and it's perfect in taste and portion every time. Their fried rice is one of the foods that will give you the most for your buck, at only $15.95 for a portion that can easily feed two. Their boba tea is also sweet and great. The service is always nice, too. The restaurant has a military discount.“

“The food was really good, and the wait staff was very nice, my only critique is that it felt a bit rushed. It seemed like we were only there for maybe twenty minutes, I was barely halfway through eating, and they brought the check like they were trying to flip tables like it was Saturday night, despite being Monday. Honestly, aside from that, everything else was excellent!!!“

“all good 🐱😊 come on down“

“Great service, food, and Friendly staff“

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

“The manager did amazing job !! I had a short time frame to eat before drop off. I asked him. He made it happen!! Food delicious!! Everyone was amazing 👏. Wish I got his name. If you read this. Thank you !! So so much !! Appreciate you and thank you !!
Ky i believe helped . Was amazing!! Thank you too !!“

“Ruby Tuesday is having a rough time of it - but they are trying hard to be relevant. The stores are all beaten up and on their last legs - but the staff and food are really good. And you CANNOT beat the deals. $8.99 for a smash burger, tots or fries AND the full salad bar (Thursdays, $9.99 on Mondays, make it a double for a buck or two more....). LOVE an old school salad bar and they have all but disappeared - but RT is still putting out a decent one. Two of us were out the door with tax and about a 25% tip for.....$25.00 total! AND my companion took the burger and tots home and just ate the salad bar. WHERE ELSE can you get a deal anywhere near that these days??“

“Today was my first time at The seed! I had the avocado toast and one of the fall drinks! Let me tell you I was amazed by the food and coffee! Definitely 10 out of 10! It’s so cute and cozy in there as well!“

“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 finally made it to Monarca Mexican Restaurant, and I have to say I was impressed. Being from California, I’m usually pretty critical when it comes to Mexican food, but Monarca delivered.

The ceviche was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The shrimp, avocado, mango, tomatoes, and onions all tasted fresh and balanced, letting the ingredients shine instead of drowning everything in sauce. The pork belly tostones were another standout: crispy, rich, and packed with flavor.

What I appreciated most was the attention to presentation and quality. The food looked as good as it tasted, and everything arrived fresh and well-prepared. The atmosphere felt modern and upscale, and the service was friendly and attentive.

I’ll definitely be back to try more of the menu. If you’re looking for Mexican food that’s a step above the usual Tex-Mex experience in Columbus, Monarca is worth a visit. 🌮🍤🥑“

“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 🙃🙃🌸“

“Newk’s is always a great experience, from the employees to the quality of their food and service. I’ve never had a visit that resulted in a bad experience ever and that says a lot. The freshness and quality of food is always amazing and the customer service is definitely top tier.“

Her professionalism, amazing energy, and top-tier customer service truly stood out. You can tell she genuinely cares about the customer experience, and it made the entire process smooth and enjoyable.

Five stars all the way! 🌟🚗“

“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.“

“Really enjoyed the overall experience here. The atmosphere was welcoming, the service was smooth, and everything felt well put together without trying too hard. You can tell the staff cares about consistency and making sure customers have a good experience. Definitely one of those places that leaves a solid impression and makes you want to come back again.“

“Reasonable price, delivered faster than projected! Delicious!“

“Love the clean tables and playground. Always fun to bring my grandchild. Enjoyed the quickness of ordering on the app then scanning the code on the table for quick service. They did not bring my diet peach lemonade over right away with the food. 😞 Then forgot the milk and I had to go to the counter to ask for it. Not super busy so someone should recheck orders before they bring them to the table. We enjoyed it once we received it all. As usual always amazing taste.“

“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 !“

“I stop in once a week after the gym and the staff here is the best. Orders are always ready for pick up quickly and rarely an issue. They mixed up my order with another tonight and insisted and fixing it with 10 minutes to closing time. They really did not have to but it shows how great the staff is here. I am going to miss this location when I'm not in the area anymore!“

“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.“

“panera Bread is my favorite restaurant I eat there daily. the location on macon road is slacking they NEVRR have pumpkin muffins. I now have to drive across town to the second location. that location put bacon on my sandwich this morning and I am a Pollatarian. They NEVER were like other restaurants. Now. they are slacking“

“I went through the drive through and the service was VERY quick. Amber was at the window and she was a joy, opened up the window smiling and asked me about my day, very refreshing to see! The food was delicious but I could tell the chicken had been sitting for a bit.“

“Customer service at drive through window less than acceptable--- can't count money, rude...and etc. Additionally, fries were cold!!“

“This is THE BEST Zaxby's I have ever been in. Friendly and helpful cashier in helping to get the mobile app to work when having an issue placing the order due to an error with the toast even though neither one of us could see the issue. The food was fresh and hot. We were traveling thru so I don't have the opportunity to be a regular at this location even though I wish I could be. It is so much better than those in my area. Great experience!“
