19 Best Salad Restaurants in West Des Moines

“Great addition to Jordan Creek area. I think it will be my lunch go-to from now on. I had the squash salad with kale. Excellent!“

“McAlister's is basically where you can go if you want Panera but don't want to eat Panera again. They have a ton of options for soup, sandwich, and salad, and they have a "Pick 2" deal as well. The soups all taste good, but it's like they take a normal hearty soup and send it through an industrial puree machine to make it smooth and dull. That makes the chili especially sad-looking. That said, very easy to get full on 5-700 calories and reasonable sodium levels (for fast food, anyway).“

“I came to Olive Garden to celebrate my sister’s birthday, and the experience was absolutely awesome! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, perfect for a special occasion. Our server was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Now, let’s talk about the food—the chicken parmesan is a must-try! It was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and paired wonderfully with the endless breadsticks and salad. Everyone at the table enjoyed their meals, and the dessert was the perfect sweet ending. Olive Garden truly made my sister’s birthday memorable. Highly recommend for great food and excellent service!“

“New to the East side, and still are working on getting correct orders because of that, but we were glad there were a couple of order mistakes because we got to try things we might not have otherwise! The brisket sandwiches are amazing as is the smoked Turkey! Piled high with just the right amount of smoke and the sauce was perfect! I’m glad I got the smoked Turkey as it was tender and juicy,. I am allergic to onions so I usually can’t eat potato salad at restaurants, but their has no onions and was wonderful! And the fried Okra was so good! It was getting busy, so the owners little girl brought us menus and we were got to talk to her… such a nice family and such a great addition to the East side! We will definitely be back“

“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.“

“Okay, I’ll admit, I might have a slight bias as a former employee here, but as I’ve continued to come in as a customer, I feel like I might as well let people know what it’s like on this end. This is the best Noodles and Company in town, from the positive energy brought by the staff to the consistently high quality food that is served! I knew, even as I moved on to another job that they had earned a customer for life!“

“There was a sign for where you could order your meals but it wasn’t very visible so we had gotten in line for adding the ingredients and making the sandwiches (which we thought was the start of the line) but then had to go back to the front to order. Very crowded don’t recommend going during the weekend especially lunch hours. Their internet was down so they could only do charges up to 25 dollars one at a time. The kimchi Philly was delicious. The associate who made our sandwiches and took payment was helpful and efficient“

“Blaze Pizza in West Des Moines is a true gem for pizza lovers! The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between modern and cozy, ideal for any dining occasion.

The staff are notably friendly and helpful, enhancing the overall experience. It's not just a meal, it's a delightful culinary adventure - highly recommended for anyone seeking top-notch pizza in a welcoming setting.“

“Great food and friendly staff!“

“I went to work over my lunch there, and 3 people were very kind, I could see they were working hard. One is Renee, the manager. She manages a great group, quality of food and speed with which it came was fantastic even during lunch rush. 2 of the other people I know personally who are hard-workers, conscientious of cleanliness of the environment and food presentation. Thanks to each of you for all you do for your customers, for your personal care, and good cozy food on a winter's day!“

“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.“
