Salad Restaurants near Windsor Heights

“only giving 5 stars for a person named Raina, went above and beyond with expectations, my order was made wrong and the issue was resolved with such grace, I was having a horrible day until I came in. It’s like she knew exactly what to say“

“First time trying. Got the crab Rangoon sandwiches and I got the Brussels. Food was good but they messed up our order. My husband ordered loaded tots but only got the regular order. And they did not give him a receipt. Kind of a bummer there! We got food to go so didn’t go back. He did call but nobody has returned his message since they didn’t answer.“

“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! 🍣🍷✨“

“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!“

“Taco truck extraordinaire - delicious food, courteous service, professional!!“

“The food was so good and our experience was exceptional! We had our baby with us and the owner took time to make her some food and spend time talking with us! I can’t wait to go back!“

“We made the bad decision to go to Olive Garden late on Valentine’s Day and I can tell you I was pleasantly surprised by the service we got and the atmosphere. Instead of chaos, we had a server that was very into positivity and making sure we were well taken care of. I ordered the Chicken Marsala which cannot be oversold because it is so good. The food was hot and was as we expected. I had some wine which was delicious and overall it was a very good experience. We will be back!“

“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).“

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

“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“

“I ate lunch here on St. Paddy's Day, 2025. I had never been here before but I will definitely be back. First of all, they have Coke products, which is great for Diet Coke addicts like me, and I got a huge soda with FREE REFILLS. They even came to my table and got it for me. I ordered the "Choose 2" and got a club sandwich and loaded potato. Both were so delicious. Great meal. Delicious salted caramel chocolate cookie. Everyone was so friendly. Highly recommend!!

Parking: There is a side door and we got a spot right by it. Super easy access for my friend who uses a walker.“

“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!)“

“Excellent food“

“You walk in and instantly feel comfortable and welcome.“

“The food was good appetizers were cold and not much taste entrees zucchini pesto was good staek stroganoff was taste less but the service was not the person taking our order acted like it was a pain to deal with usWe asked some questions about the menu she was not talking but someone in the kitchen did come and talk answering our questions and was politeThe dining area was not very appealing“

“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.“

“I recommend everything about this Maid-Rite. We love you, Brian!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Stopped to entertain our toddler during our road trip and a quality quick dinner. Staff were happy, helpful & busy. Play place kept our toddler entertained while we waited for our food. The other kids assisted getting her out of the equipment for dinner.“

“This is a great establishment. Always outstanding service and out of the many, many orders over the years, I’ve had only 1 not right ever. The honey pepper pimento is incredible!!!!! Everything you expect from Chik-fil-a you can expect here. Speedy, kind, and delicious.“

“My family loves Scornovacca’s. Been going there for years. Great food and great friendly service. One of the best pizzas in town!“

“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“

“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!“

“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. What stands out is their 'Build Your Own' pizza option, offering an array of fresh ingredients that cater to all tastes, cooked to perfection in a blazing oven. 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.“

“BEST pizza and wings I have ever had and that alone says enough! The cheese topper pizza is to die for and the wings are beyond amazing. Everytime I promise myself to take a picture I eat over half before i even remember. I can't believe I went this long without knowing this place was this AMAZING! It's worth every dollar EVERY time!“

“Great and friendly customer service. I asked if there were avocados in the Southwest Ranch salad, and the employee answered yes. However, I did not taste or see any avocados in my salad. The service was a bit slow as well when compared to other drive thrus. Those are the only things keeping me from giving them a 5.“

“The food was amazing, and the flavors mixed together with the food textures were incredible. It was everything you'd want from a traditional Japanese restaurant. My husband and I went there for our anniversary, and we were pleased by everything and everyone. The server was friendly and really helpful, and we appreciated her attention to our table. We loved the quiet atmosphere and how relaxing the place was too. Thank you for a wonderful anniversary celebration meal that was top-notch!
