50 Best Salad Restaurants near Johnston

“I love their grilled chicken on wraps, sandwiches, and salads. I also love the Brussel sprouts.“

“We live in Ankeny, but very often drive to the Johnston Panera to enjoy our weekly coffee/pastry date. This location is obviously managed well. It is always clean and the pastries are not over baked. The coffee bar is also always clean as is the microwave. Coffee is always fresh and if it isn't they immediately bring out a fresh pot. Also this location seems to be well staffed! Our compliments to the management and staff of this Johnston location! Well done!“

“Absolutely incredible experience! We walked in with our own champagne, and the bartenders were amazing and super welcoming. They opened it for us and put it on ice without hesitation. We did the Omakase sushi dinner, and every single bite was amazing. Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service was top-notch from start to finish. Can’t recommend enough—10/10! 🍣🍷✨“

“I stopped in at MinGaLaBar tonight with a family member and had a great experience! Our waitress was very kind and it didn’t take much time for the food to arrive hot and fresh. We started off with an order of Samosas and then I got the Shan Khao Swe with chicken!“

“Last week was my 1st time here, but the staff treated me like an old friend. & the pizza was amaaazing. While waiting for my food, there was a little girl who was dancing & fell (she was alright). The staff were very kind to her & even gave her a big cookie to have for dessert!“

“The food is so good and they are lightning fast! Def check out their spicy chicken, I think it starts with a “K”?“

“Adobada 🌯 burrito was huge. Excellent 👌👍 so much flavor with a little heat. Chicken Cheese Rice very good with a perfect char on the chicken 🐔. Chips and two choices of Salsa's, Spicy and mild were refilled. Very friendly personable service. We have found our newest favorite Mexican Restaurant.“

“Went for the first time as we are from 4 hours away. Everything was awesome. Got seated right away. And order was taken. Food came out hot. Didn’t try the pop tart as wasn’t sure what it was. But heard it is very good. Maybe next time we get to town. Service was outstanding“

“Great food at a reasonable price.“

“We have gone to McAllister‘s deli many times over the years and over the past few years, the portion sizes had been decreasing. This last time, they were greatly improved, much to my approval! Throughout our visits, the food has been high-quality and hopefully things are back to moving in the right direction.“

“GoodSons on Beaver Ave is the quintessential neighborhood bar. Have a seat, and you're surrounded by friends. Nice rotation on the taps, including many local brews, and a plentiful selection of cocktail options. The food is a delectable selection of paninis and bar favorites. Come in, have a seat, you are welcome!!“

“Best Noodles and Co in DSM!

Hot, fresh, delicious. Jordan was extremely kind and checked in to make sure everything was great (it was). Very clean, both tables and bathrooms. Will come again. Ate a third before I thought to grab a pic“

“We are fully staff. Stop by for a fast and friendly service. See you soon. Thank you Rios General Manager“

“I’ve worked with Evan and his staff the last couple years to get pizza for Centennial boys’ tennis team meals. They have been amazing to work with and very accommodating, even with weather related changes to the scheduled meals. The pizza has been delicious and the boys love it. The 26 inch pizzas are awesome for feeding large groups. I would highly recommend Dough Co in Ankeny!“

“If I didn't know I was in Des Moines, I'd believe Allora was in Milan, Italy. The food was fresh and delicious, and the coffee was perfection. The service was great, both unobtrusive and attentive (a balance not a lot of American restaurants at this price point seem to understand. Centro also does a great job balancing the two!)“

“Foods always good, quick, and by far my favorite selection of music“

“So so good and friendly service. Glad to get my Maid Rite fix. Now that sandwich was made right!“

“Delicious food, friendly staff, & very clean restaurant!“

“Good fast service on 11-5-23. Great food. Molly was very friendly and polite ,also attractive. Will definitely be back“

“Olive Garden is one of those places where I go in planning to eat a normal meal and leave wondering why I have enough leftovers for the next two days.

The food is consistently great, and you can tell a lot of it is made fresh. The gnocchi soup is hands-down my favorite thing on the menu. If they ever start selling it by the gallon, I'm in trouble. The endless soup, salad, and breadsticks deal is one of the best values around, and somehow those breadsticks always disappear faster than they arrive.

The servers are always friendly and generous with the cheese. In fact, I usually end up with enough grated cheese on my pasta to qualify as a side dish by itself. I've even joked about buying one of their cheese graters because I love it so much.

The lemonade is excellent, although I may drink it faster than the staff can refill it. If you're looking for an appetizer, get the Fritta... something. It's like a mozzarella stick that leveled up—crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside, and absolutely delicious.

Top it all off with one of their desserts, and you'll leave happy, full, and probably carrying a to-go box. Olive Garden never disappoints.“

“One of my wife's favorite places. She has Alpha-gal, and I am probably spelling that wrong. (It's that tick bite disease that radically messes up your diet.) She once owned a restaurant herself. She is impressed with Olive Gardens' attention to detail with the freshness and temperature (cold) of the salad.“

“Went with my niece before an appointment. Showed up a little before 9 and Zuella was the cashier. She was very personable and polite. She had a warm feeling about her. We dined in and my niece and I both got the bacon, egg and cheese biscuit. Both sandwiches were fresh and Zuella came out and checked on us. She was very hospitable. Restaurant was clean. What I did appreciate was there was a table of staff all sitting together eating behind us. Whether it was them on break or about to start/ended shift, it was nice to see they were given that time and seemed to be enjoying themselves. Great experience.“

“Excellent food“

“I love this bar and I appreciate that they have gluten free options.“

“Great food court food. I picked this up to go to take back to my husband at work for lunch and I was so happy with my choice. I got the chicken and shrimp teriyaki and I got him the beef teriyaki with crab Rangoons. It was all perfectly cooked and so good. He was very happy they had a diet Dr Pepper too.“

“Our waitress was great; cheerful, consistent, but not overbearing. I chose the cheese ravioli with meat sauce and it was delicious. Our salad bowl was full of fresh vegetables and the breadsticks were soft and warm. The Mod stopped by our table to check on everything, that's always a nice touch!“

“This is a busy location with an impressive looking drive through operation. Despite the busyness, the order taker was pleasant to deal with and the food was delicious. I've eaten here on a prior trip to the area and made sure to visit again on my most recent trip last month.“

“The app said they have a play place and they do not anymore. I don't know how long ago this changed and understand there are hardships to maintaining a play place but please take it down from the picture and amenities on the app as we had been traveling a long ways and little man was really excited for the play place only to find out it wasn't here even though we had purposely looked for one that said it had one for him. Just trying to help the parents and let people know it is not updated right on the Chick-fil-A app“

“I went through the drive thru today to pick up my coworker’s lunch and had the pleasure of speaking with Baxter, who was very friendly and gave excellent service. He even offered me a cup of water while I waited for the food. I was having a bad day at work and this was the first time someone had been nice to me all day. It’s the little things that count. Thank you!“

“Self check out normally is a disaster but today I got helped by Michelle.T and she was awesome. She was able to multitask and help with questions along with making sure we got out of there without a hassle. Amazing food and well trained staff. Michelle T working the self check out line on Saturday June 10th was the best so far though“

“We eat here a lot. I was happy to see an offer for a bonus $5 gift card with purchase of a $25 card. So I go for the offer, only to discover, several screens into the process, that there is a $2.50 "digital services fee." Come on guys. This really leaves a bad taste in your mouth.“

“Even though this place is always busy, it’s still a Nice place to go have lunch. Easy to order ahead on your phone before you get there, and wait at a table till they call your name. Mexican Street Corn Chowder is absolutely amazing ! Definitely order every time.“

“Tony and the staff are top notch, they are friendly and provide great customer service. I have a child with dairy allergies, and they are very careful to ensure there’s no cross contamination during the process, they change their gloves, etc…it’s a pleasure coming here!“

“1st time there, food was incredible and the service was spot on, will definitely be coming back.“

“It was ok. Nothing special.“

“Great food and staff. I have been coming here pretty much my whole life and it’s always been great.“

“Great food but service is not that good Most of their staff can’t understand english You have to wait little bit longer if you ask for something Management is not attentive to customer needs Assigned specific person to avoid piling of plates and add manager if peak hours to accomodate customer needs“

“So far I’ve only had the sugar cookies and I’m in love. I guess that’s why they are called Love Drops 😍😂 Great customer service as well! 10/10 would recommend 👍🏼👍🏼“

“I recently ordered 2 large (catering size) orders of nuggets for our son’s graduation party from this store. They are one of his favorites! The nuggets were delivered on time to our home by an employee of the store at no charge. They were fresh and hot upon arrival! It didn’t take long for them to disappear 😋 I was able to do everything through the app—very easy! I ordered from this restaurant in particular because their minimum order amount was lower. The manager confirmed my order via email and even followed up with me after. I could not have been more happy with the whole experience! I highly recommend this store for your CFA catering needs.“

“The owner was walking around helping everyone, was clear this franchise owner puts in the extra effort. Small details were unexpected at this location - fresh flowers on all the tables, the fastest table clearing and cleaning ive ever seen at a fast food joint, someone walking around in a cow costume taking pictures with everyone, super clean bathrooms, etc.. Probably my best fastfood restaurant experience ive ever had.“

“Our pizza came in under 30 minutes on Christmas! So happy these guys were open & the pizza was delicious 🤤“

“Went in at 11:00, was greeted immediately, went through all of the options and customizations possible. Mark and this deli gives overall amazing service. Asked if we needed anything when eating multiple times. Special thanks to Mark he was very nice“

“Sandwich tasted fresh, delicious, clean! Good atmosphere, friendly stuff 🦋💕“

“When you break your wrist and want something special for lunch, Blaze it is! He also has celiac disease, and Blaze is our go-to for safe eating. We never have to worry about cross-contamination. The crew members even noted and held back the meatballs off his order because they contain gluten. I hadn’t realized that when I placed the online order! Phew! Thanks for having our back, Blaze team!“
