50 Best Salad Restaurants near Cicero

“A delightful, affordable family brunch! The menu is huge and all around tempting. The waitress was wonderfully kind. Pancakes were delicious, and hash browns so plentiful I had to take them home for lunch. And these people get me: they leave a full coffee thermos in the table.Kid-friendliness: It´s very much a family restaurant, and I don´t know a single child who doesn´t enjoy pancakesWheelchair accessibility: Parking lot, clear access to tables and bathrooms.“

“I come to this portillos every weekend and the food is consistently amazing! Always hot and fresh! But the real reason I'm reviewing is because the staff is so nice and amazing! Special thanks to Lalo in the drive through for always being so kind and cheerful!!!“

“The aesthetics are everything. Service is fine (they mixed up our reservations but figured it out in about 15 minutes and we were seated at our preferred spot), their burger is good, but the ribeye sandwich and Prosecco peach drink were meh. I was a little disappointed with their short menu options (and tiny dessert menu). It’s also definitely more expensive than it should be. Would probably only go back because of how pretty it is!“

“The Dawson is a stable for brunch enthusiasts seeking a vibrant summer vibe. Their menu features refreshing cocktails, perfectly poached Benedicts, crispy potatoes, and a standout fried lobster appetizer. It’s the ideal spot to soak up the sun and enjoy a casual meal with friends. Their brunch ends at 3 (sorry can’t recall). But they have a monthly burlesque style brunch to keep an out out for!“

“Was in town for a national conference and had tried many other places until we got here. The food was amazing but our server Kevin made the experience so much better! After traveling all over the country I can say he by far is the best server I have ever had at any location across the country! Thank you for the best experience ever!“

“What a cute little gem in this city. The atmosphere was cozy but lively. I loved the lighting and musical soundtrack. We had a reservation and were seated immediately. Both the host and waitress were pleasant and provided just the right amount of check-ins. Now on to the food. Everything we ate was delicious. From the fresh bread that they poured melted garlic butter onto table side to the yummy brussel sprouts. The pasta was cooked to a perfect al dente with very flavorful sauces. I'm sad that I was only able to eat there once as I only had. 4 day trip in Chicago, but I will definitely return.“

“Everyone back East said I had to try this pizza. I am not really a pizza fanatic, but holy smokes, this is really really good pizza. I had the personal pepperoni with extra cheese and fresh garlic. It was amazing. They delivered to my hotel (Palmer House), and the delivery was fast for a busy night and the delivery driver was really nice. I totally recommend the pizza and service.“

“Friendly staff. Nice atmosphere. Great tasting food. It was my first time there and the food was very tasty. Not your usual sloppy pita sandwich, (although I love those, also). Nice variety of appetizers. I tried the zucchini keftedes and they were great. Nice portion to share or have it alone for a meal. (next time I'm going to order them with less sauce because I like the flavor og the kefteda). I'm happy to see a Greek food restaurant in the neighborhood. gives the neighborhood a continued variety of great places to eat. I will be back. Best of luck.“

“Overall the taste of all the ingredients is very good and well seasoned. They also has some toppings less commonly seen like shredded beets and bean sprouts! The place is very clean and they also weigh the noodles/rice to ensure evenness. The only con I would say is that the scoops of fish are on the small side so I would recommend 5 scoops over 3 for an adult. Also you get more fish if you choose the fish that already have spicy sauce, like spicy tuna, as opposed to plain fish, like plain salmon, due to the scoop shape. The seaweed salad topping and masago are both $1 extra which a minor point off“

“My boyfriend and I stumbled upon the Garden Of Eat'n Restaurant last weekend for breakfast, and what a delightful discovery it turned out to be! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality, setting the tone for a fantastic dining experience.We both opted for dishes from their "specials" menu, and let me tell you, we were not disappointed. I ordered the red chilaquiles, being a lover of spice, and they certainly delivered on the heat! But beyond the spicy kick, every bite was bursting with flavor. The portions were generous, leaving us feeling fully satisfied and content.The ambiance of the Garden Of Eat'n is cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a leisurely meal. It truly felt like dining in a hidden gem, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.Overall, our experience at the Garden Of Eat'n Restaurant was nothing short of exceptional. Delicious food, friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere - what more could you ask for? If you're in the mood for a memorable breakfast or brunch experience, I highly recommend paying them a visit. You won't be disappointed!“

“Best tacos in Logan square sorry not sorry this is my go to taco spot always I love the service the workers are very attentive team spicy tacoooossss ????Vegetarian options: Never had a veggie taco till I tried one here and it is officially my favorite Taco on the list “

“We finally had an opportunity to enjoy eating here while vacationing. Surprisingly, there's only 2 locations only. We traveled an hour to eat here and we didn't regret it. The food quality is still very good and the service was good too. Hopefully there are plans to open more locations. The buffalo chicken calzone is tasty, the potatoes are superb, and pizza is very good. I highly recommend eating here.“

“We went to Farm Bar last night with another couple and it was so delicious I had to write a review. We started with the cheese curds and we all agreed that they are the best we have ever had. Then we had the salad that was on the Specials list. It was a smear of ricotta cheese with butter lettuce, peas, asparagus, watermelon radishes and a very light, tasty vinaigrette dressing. So fresh and flavorful. The owner came by our table and has a huge farm in Wisconsin so everything is so fresh and menu changes with seasons. My husband had the catfish. He is a southern boy and he loved it. Huge portion as well! Two of us had the cavatelli. Fresh pasta and layered with textures and flavors. And one of us had the burger. He said it was a great burger. Service was very friendly and we didn't feel rushed. Highly recommend Farm Bar!! Can't wait until the summer and the rooftop opens.“

“This restaurant is so delicious.I recommend 10e0% try them but hurry. I had the vegan veggie Phillie steak 100% fabulous. The sandwich is large and big enough for two people. Atmosphere there was wonderful, staff was extremely friendly. It's worth giving a try you, will not be disappointed.Vegetarian options: Veggie steak with mushrooms,add tomatoes. Very good..“

“I love paulie gee's! So many good, unique vegan pies. I try to avoid Thursday nights since it's trivia night and it is ROWDY, but also if that's your thing definitely check it out everyone seems to have a great time! Bartenders are always wonderful, great jov all around.“

“The food is unique, tasty, and filling. $8 gets you 1 arancini and a side, and is enough for the average person. I have a bigger appetite, so I tried 2 kinds: the jerkcino and peanutcino. Both were good and more than enough food. I'll be back to try the other “

“Panes is my favorite sandwich place in Chicago! Their sandwiches are delicious and reasonably priced, and they bake their own bread fresh that is also available for purchase. Their soup is quite good, and they have a variety of dessert options. I recommend calling about 20 minutes ahead to save time on pickup orders, although I also enjoy walking in to eat there, with natural light and fun art on the walls. I usually order the Super Panes, although the Todo Italiano is also a favorite!“

“The service was outstanding. Right when we walked in the host and bartender welcomed us. The dining room is one half of the space and the other half is the bar and high top tables. Cocktails were balanced and delicious. The food was outstanding. Quality ingredients thoughtfully prepared.“

“The dinner was absolutely delicious ? Morgan is the chef at this establishment and she cooks with love and you can taste it in every bite the shrimp and chicken was so tinder that it just melts in your mouth the flavors marry together perfectly the garlic bread is to die for do your tastebuds a favor and come to the brown bag and treat yourself to a true culinary experience ???“

“Our experience at Ema was fantastic. They take allergies very seriously which was much appreciated for someone with celiac disease. Our waiter Enrique was extremely knowledgeable, and helpful. All of the food was amazing we loved the Greek salad, Brussels sprouts and potatoes the most!“

“Very fresh and delicious food for reasonable prices. Fast service. Atmosphere is clean and lots of seating. The fries are best eaten in restaurant hot, fresh, and crispy. My family and friends always enjoy great tacos here too.Vegetarian options: Paneer Taco and BurritoRice and Beans“

“A beautiful new restaurant located in the Saint Clair hotel! The staff was so knowledgeable and helpful on what to order. Homemade pasta and the ravioli recipe was a speciality from the owners grandma - definitely recommend! Don’t skip the baklava sundae for dessert“

“Fantastic spot for a delicious and enjoyable Japanese meal ?!!!Ekiben was a wonderful dining experience! From the moment I walked in.... the atmosphere was cosy and inviting. The staff was friendly and helpful, offering recommendations on the menu.I had the salmon teriyaki don. It tasted so fresh and flavorful. The ingredients were perfectly cooked and delightful ?.While the food was delicious, I'm also very optimistic that they will continue to innovate and introduce exciting new dishes in the future. ? For example, chef's choice section on the menu where they can showcase their culinary creativity, or loyalty program to reward frequent customers would be excellent (hopefully I don't ask them too much?)I truly enjoyed my experience at Ekiben, and I will definitely revisit and try another dish ?.“

“We visited for the first time yesterday and it was AMAZING! Great ambience, friendly staff, good music but the food was the star of the show. Absolutely delicious! Everything from the bread, salads, soups and entrees. We will definitely be back!!!“

“Suda’s offers delicious Lebanese cuisine in an upscale and intimate dining space. We came in a large group and got to try out a variety of dishes, all amazed by the flavors and beautiful plating of the food — the roasted cauliflower (Arnibit), falafel, and baba ghanouj were delicious appetizers; among the mains, we loved the shrimp and lamb skewers, while the mixed grill offered a variety of meats; for dessert, the Knaef was a sweet and decadent standout. The prices here are on a slightly higher end, but the exceptional quality of the food makes it well worth it.“

“OH MY GOD THIS PLACE MAKES HEAVEN. My favorites: - any of the savory meat croissants - egg sandwich - any of the meat strombolis - salted caramel donut - gingersnap molasses cookie - twice-baked almond croissant - vegan dark chocolate banana bread with pecans - Two falls ago there was this amazing apple cider bearclaw donut thing. I haven't seen it since in the pastry case, but I can still taste its awesomeness in my mouth and hope it will one day return. Everything here is so moist and magical. For me, what sets Mindy's Bakery apart from other bakeries, and makes it clear why Mindy won the Beard award for Outstanding Chef in the US, is that Mindy and crew are always working to improve their craft, always using quality ingredients and making better versions of things all the time and I respect this so much. Also, when you come in through the door, you can see everyone behind the counter, working hard, baking during open hours, and helping you pick things out of the big case in front. They are awesome. If you're from out of town, know there's rarely a line out the door on Wed, Thurs or Fri, but Sat and Sun are busy, so do what I do and bring your kindle or paper to read while you wait in line. It is always worth the wait.“

“We hosted my son’s communion party at Porretta’s last May and we were very satisfied with everything, so we decided to cater for my mother’s birthday party. We ordered a few days prior and John was able to accommodate us in spite of the short notice.We had it delivered on time and with care. All the food was delicious but our guests especially raved about the Rigatoni Vodka and the mini meatballs.I am already planning our next celebration and will be using Porrettas catering once again!“

“Always fresh, always quick and efficient, the best poke in the west loop! Good variety of toppings and you can regulate the spice level. The staff is friendly and welcoming! They have several tables for dining in and they are open from lunch to late dinner!“

“Visited for the first time today and the food absolutely delivered. I got a single cheeseburger, fries and a chocolate shake and my wife got an Italian beef with Swiss cheese and hot peppers, DUNKED of course, and it was everything you could possibly want. 10/10 will be back again.“

“This is a nice coffee shop. The drinks and food are good. The food is better than the average coffee shop. The average coffee shop just has muffins and this has actual meals that are good. They make their own bread and it is good. Their specialty drinks are very good. I especially like the Freddo espresso. The staff is nice. Most importantly, this coffee shop has comfortable chairs with backs. Many coffee shops just want you to order and leave so they are not comfortable. They also serve your drinks in mugs which is homey. I would recommend this coffee shop.“

“Great service - friendly owner makes you feel like you are eating at home. I go weekly for lunch and order the falafel wrap. It's fresh, and the tahini sauce is dairy free. The falafel bowl is outstanding; with delicious yellow rice and a fresh salad. There's a sense of perfectionism, and how simple ingredients are executed. They have an amazing deal on Fridays four dollar sandwiches or wraps! Highly recommend.“

“A fantastic place to have deep dish pizza in Chicago! A friend recommended this as we are from out of country. Would definitely come back again for their deep dish pizza stuffed crust. Their pizza crust is the best thing another the pizza (I personally don’t eat crusts on pizza, but here, it’s my favourite part). We also had a side of parmesan garlic fries and a Caesar salad which were a fantastic addition. Thanks Dimitri for the fantastic service!“

“It's a sub and pizza shop. Not a full size restaurant so don't have that expectation. Didn't have the pizza so I can't review that. The subs, however, are absolutely delicious. If you're near a Fontano's go there. If you're not near, go as soon as you can if you love sub sandwiches.“

“This was the best eggplant parmesan I've had, ever. The eggplant is sliced thick, and still slightly crunchy under the sauce. The owner spoke with us, twice. Our waiter was kind & lighthearted. Thank you for making our 10th anniversary special!“

“Amazing food and drink. The burgers here are absolutely fantastic, and the fries are also quite good. The chocolate shake here is possibly the best shake I’ve ever had. The food is always delicious and the service is great and quick. I will always eat here when I get the chance. Best local burger in Chicago.“

“We have eaten here twice, once dine-in and later, take-out. The delivery was faster than they promised online, and the food was hot. I can say without qualification that I have never had better Thai in three decades of trying. The flavors in each dish are vibrant and sometimes surprising ... it's an experience I expect at a Michelin starred restaurant, but from takeout. Wtf.“

“This place is amazing. This was my second time here and both times were exceptional. Chill atmosphere and very clean as well. Moe and Diar were both very welcoming and made sure we had a good experience. The food was fantastic and made to order so it was extremely fresh both times. Would recommend the fries with garlic sauce (most addicting combo) and the falafel. Can’t go wrong with schaorma here either.“

“Such excellent service here. I’ve been there twice in desperate need of something with queso, and I live nearby, so I thought I’d try it out.The staff are absolutely lovely . So friendly and kind. They forgot my guacamole this time and I don’t care. I’d rather have someone be nice.“

“Ever since they opened we go out of our way to frequent this place. We have other Thai places within walking distance from our condo but a short drive yields better quality Thai food and wonderful service. Ambiance: The place is super clean which is a plus. If the front of the house is immaculate, I would think the kitchen is the same. The food is amazing. Tiger Cry is amazing and they give a nice size portion compared to other places. Sweet/savory marinated thin slices of beef char-grilled is wonderful. Don't hesitate on the fried shumai- Fried shrimp shu-mai, served with light sweet and sour sauce. Awesome finger food. You can't go wrong with any of the curry dishes. This last round we had the Gaeng Masaman - Masaman curry and potatoes sauteed in coconut milk with peanuts and chicken. Great flavor. So many selections but all have been great! I love the fact you can choose the level of spiciness for each dish depending on your preferences. We go full-tilt hot as hell spicy and it does not disappoint! Pricing is a bit lower than your average Thai places and portions are more generous. 3 dishes for 2 people yields leftovers! Owner is friendly and I can tell he loves what he does and is looking out for the diners. This is the place you want to make sure thrives. Go pay them a visit.“

“I love ordering pick up here. The website makes it super easy. My healthy, delicious salad with sustainable salmon is ready in less than 10 minutes. It helps to keep me on track with eating well and it’s delicious at the same time. I sometimes treat myself to the amazing tater tots or switch it up with their catch of the day. Love it here.“

“Max & Issy’s is a super cute date spot with great pizza. The inside is gorgeous and the food is incredible. They have a few unique pizzas, such as the Queen of Hearts, which is basically if spinach artichoke dip was a pizza. I had the hot honey pepper pizza and honestly whoever decided honey goes on pizza deserves an award. The pizzas only come in one size, which is 16” aka large, so you’ll probably want to share. Since my girlfriend and I have different taste palates (mine being good and hers being less good), we ordered two pizzas and now we have lots of leftovers. Highly recommend stopping by for date night or just a great pizza with friends.“

“What a fun spot! This was a great addition to the Southport corridor for its quickness and simple menu. I love the decor and atmosphere, and the sandwiches sure are to die for! My only reason to deduct a star is the pricing - kind of insane for a quick stop shop. But I'm sure I'll be back to treat myself again soon!“

“We saw that Chicago's Pizza offered a Mickey Mouse for children that they could build themselves and decided to take our children so they could have the experience. For our ourselves, we got a deep dish pizza, thin crust pizza, and fried cauliflower. We were all pleasantly surprised by the quality of our food, which was very tasty (and we had gone only for the kids' pizza).They're focaccia was superb. Unfortunately, the restaurant sent us Mickey Mouse pizzas that were already made (not made by our kids). Other parents will understand how your dinner experience is affected when you've promised a 5-year-old something all day and then that thing doesn't come to fruition-it ruins your dinner. The staff were nice and accommodating, and they did what they could to help, including bringing out dough balls to make it seem to our kids like they were making the actual pizza. In the end, it worked. However, the dinner was a lot more tense than it should have been feel (and contentious amongst the parents). This is a situation that should've been handled by management. If the place is going to cater to children, there are the sort of things that it must stay on top off. Most parents can overlook a flawed pizza, but not a child crying over dinner.“

“This place is so great. This is just as good as Moroccan food I've had in Morocco or Paris. This place is run by a lovely family whose mother is the cook. We had the appetizer sampler, a tagine, and a couscous. Meat on all the dishes is incredibly soft and falls off the bone. The tagine sauce was so good - one of the best things I've ever had. Couscous has large savory vegetables including squash and was finished with a sweet sauce containing apricots and rasins. I'm already thinking about what to order next time.“

“I have always heard about the deep dish pizza and it didn’t disappoint. I first had mozzarella triangles first along with Parmesan garlic fries before serving a small size deep dish pizza. It took a while but the timing was perfect if you start off with an appetizer. Great customer service. I’m definitely going backVegetarian options: Plenty of options for vegetarians.“

“This place was on my list for a long time. I really enjoyed my time there. Overall the food was great, however the chicken kebab was a little bit under seasoned, and the halibut was slightly salty. The falafels were amazing, really crispy and the beets underneath were incredible, I don’t even like beets and I finished it all!“

“Solid place! Just came by during my lunch break and got the gyro sandwich and Parmesan fries. Order was ready super quickly (5 min walk from my apartment) and staff was friendly. Food was great - super fresh. I got home and told my roommate and he was jealous. I feel bad that I did not bring him back any. I should be less selfish in the future. Great addition to the neighborhood I'm going to come back and try more things on the menu“

“I am a very huge fan of smaller scale restaurants that can be found hiding in the city. Family-owned businesses are typically the ones that have the best food because they do not necessarily look into mainstreaming menus and recipes. with smaller restaurants, you can typically find amazing price opportunities as well as some unique food that has not been released to the broad market. It almost makes locations like this become a treasure if you come across them. Huge shout-out for Lola's. Amazing dogs, burgers, shakes! give them a try when you get the chance. For me, it was worth every penny!“

“I placed an order online for pickup. Be sure to check that your order is complete before leaving. I was missing items from my order but only found out once I returned to my hotel.The Italian beef sandwich was my favorite! Make sure to get extra gravy!The ribs were melt in your mouth delicious, highly recommend it!Meatball was flavorful.Chicago hot dog was definitely interesting to try. I ordered the jumbo size but it looked like a regular sized hot dog.“

“We had high expectations since all the reviews we’d read had been very positive. We were not disappointed. The apple salad was indeed huge and delicious and the tavern style pizza was perfect. Super thin and crispy and the sausage was glorious, not greasy at all and full of fennel seed flavor. Josh(one of the owners)took our order and chatted with us. He was extremely welcoming and kind. Even brought us glasses for the bottle of wine we brought with us. We also tried the Superman ice cream, which I hadn’t heard of before, that too is made in house and was delicious. There are 3 booths that fit 4 for seating and also just enough room for ordering at the counter and for people waiting for takeout and delivery orders. We went on Friday and were able to grab a table when we arrived around 5:30. Within 30-45 minutes, the other tables were occupied as well. We dined in since we wanted to try the pizza super fresh and hot. Wonderful experience and We’re looking forward to going again. Don’t miss out on this amazing pizza.“
