50 Best Salad Restaurants near Deer Park

“We had such a wonderful experience at California Pizza Kitchen, and a big part of that was because of our amazing server, Angelina!
From the moment we were seated, Angelina was incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. She made us feel so comfortable right away, which honestly sets the tone for the entire dining experience. What stood out the most was how fast and efficient she was, yet never rushed us at all. She balanced everything so perfectly.
Since we are vegetarian, we sometimes find it a little challenging to explore menus fully, but Angelina went above and beyond to guide us. Her recommendations were spot on—she really understood what would work for us and made thoughtful suggestions that we absolutely loved. It felt like she truly cared about us enjoying our meal, not just taking an order.
We were also dining with kids, and she handled everything so sweetly and patiently. She was so kind and engaging with them, making sure they were comfortable, happy, and had everything they needed. That extra level of care does not go unnoticed, especially when you’re dining as a family.
Angelina was consistently checking in at just the right moments, making sure our table was clean, drinks were refilled, and everything was perfect—without ever being intrusive. That level of attentiveness is rare and truly appreciated.
Overall, this was one of those dining experiences where you leave not just happy with the food, but genuinely touched by the service. Angelina made our visit memorable, and we will definitely be coming back—hoping to be served by her again!
Highly recommend asking for Angelina if you visit—she’s an absolute gem! 💛“

“Righted a wrong, and then some! Class act, Noodles! A+“

“Love the fresh food options 🙌“

“Omg! Let’s just start with the service. They were helpful, quick, efficient. We had a large order but they sure delivered. From the friendly welcome, helpful hands getting the order to the car, to the FULL bellies and amazing food! This place did not disappoint. The wings, the fries, the Philly! All of it was amazing.“

“Grabbed 5 boxes for our firehouse lunch today—Italian, ham & cheese, turkey & swiss, chicken parm, and the standout Al Pacino. Sandwiches were fresh, packed with great ingredients, and the 3-inch cuts in boxes of 12 were perfect for sharing a variety. Packaging was flawless. Rosie's Sidekick in Logan Square nailed it—can't wait to order again!“

“Had a private party here to celebrate my 50th birthday 🎉 All the guests loved the atmosphere. Everyone raved about the food and drinks 🥰 Their attentive service was much appreciated. Fabulous experience!!“

“Delicious and authentic Georgian food.“

“Samarkand Café is a charming, lantern-lit slice of Central Asia that easily earns a very strong four stars. The plov is deeply satisfying—fragrant rice, meltingly tender lamb, and those sweet raisins that make every forkful addictive—while the grilled kebabs deliver proper charcoal punch and the hand-pulled laghman noodles have exactly the right springy bite. Manti are plump and comforting, the tea ritual is lovely, and the warmly hospitable service makes you feel like a welcomed guest rather than a customer. It’s only held back from a full five by occasional inconsistency (one visit the meat was perfection, another slightly dry) and a dessert selection that feels a touch limited. Still, for authentic Uzbek soul food in an atmosphere that glows with genuine Central Asian spirit, Samarkand remains an absolute delight well worth repeat visits.“

“I almost never write reviews but this is truly a gem. My wife and I are huge fans of Central Asian foods and we've been to quite a few. Before coming here we read a review saying that this was the best Central Asian restaurant in the Chicago area. And we can confirm that that is 100% correct. We're so glad that we found this new Kyrgyz restaurant just 20 minutes away from us.

We visited on a Tuesday night but man was it packed. Probably because it was Ramadan. Staff was friendly. And every single dish was so authentic and perfectly eexecuted. We left with very full and satisfied stomachs.

Just for reference, these were the dishes we ordered: Beef skewers, boorsok, mampar soup, lentil soup, lagman, and eggplant salad. All were great as mentioned.“

“Very nice, hardworking staff and delicious food! Love this place and highly recommend!! 😋👍“

“I recently visited a pizzeria in Palatine and was very pleased; they have the most delicious pizzas. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, always smiling. I especially want to mention the girl who was standing near the cash register, Anna – she was very friendly, polite, and helped me with my order. The service was top-notch.“

“DELICIOUS!

Based on the name, I assumed this was a kebab fast food (hot dog serving) small, cramped, smoky 1930's Greek restaurant. To my surprise, it is a spacious, well-ventilated, well-lit 2030's sit-down restaurant with absolutely delicious chicken, chick-peas (hummus) and meat-based protein meals, with generous portions of elegantly-prepared rice, salads, nice pita bread, ancient Christian food treasures straddling the fence between south-eastern European and middle-eastern and Asia Minor national palates. Հայկական, Assyrian, Greek, Lebanese Arabic and Persian cuisine-lovers would love the flavors.

They are a great place to rent for graduation parties or baptisms.

I ordered a yogurt-based drink (Karoun, yum), hummus appetizer, French fries (crispy and good as is or with ketchup), then got a delicious chicken and ground meat kebab which came with rice, salad, and several delicious garlic-based and spicy sauces. An hour later I am still energetic and not at all in a food coma.

Great for lunch or dinner, a place to bring family who is visiting from out of town to sate their protein appetite.

I have to visit again to try other dishes and a bunch of salads.

Don't let the location fool you. It is n ot a small place.

This is a roomy place to visit for couples, a family, or a single man or woman looking for a 100% healthy meal that will nourish you for the whole day.

I went on a Sunday after Church and was the only one dining in. The service was nice and generous. The Karoun Yogurt Drink provided a protein boost which is good for the stomach. My family loved it.

One of the most memorable dining experiences, and a top restaurant for serving a hearty, generous meal that tastes better than anything I or you have had in a long while. Take some home to finish it later or get carry out.

Worth every penny. Impressive quality of every food item. Hummus was rich in healthy olive oil. Շատ համով.

5 star food.“

“Just stopped in for an early lunch, the food was delicious. The staff was friendly and the place was super clean. It will be our new favorite place for a quick fresh meal.“

“Wonderful brunch with family! Service and food were excellent! Cozy space, relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend“

“Absolutely delicious pizza, apps and dessert!! Very helpful when planning a lacrosse team dinner for CG. Jill and her team are wonderful to work with!!“

“great food for a great price“

“Our reservation was for 5pm and we walked in at 502pm. The food for both my wife and I were absolutely the best Italian food we have ever had. The price was excellent for such great quality. We will try to come at least once per month. Thank you very much for our delicious meals. We will see you soon.“

“Jackie and the team are fantastic! Everything here is house made! We had multiple sauces, meats, cornbread, chips and salsa, Mac n cheese and curry - all of which were enjoyed! I came here with multiple family members and clearly need to get back to sample dessert. They have good kids’ meal options plus a little gift area. Very clean and extremely nice service. Must try it all!“

“We had an 80th Birthday party in the private room. It was the best experience and the most delicious food. The staff are so friendly and helpful. And again the food was wonderful and plentiful. You can’t go wrong booking the Continental for your next party. I give it 10 out of 10.“

“This place has best beefs and chicken parmigiana in area. Sauce very good worth every dollar.“

“Ate here for the first time this weekend. My server has was a girl named Sammie and she was great! Very talkative and attentive. I got the homemade cornbeef hash with some eggs and sour dough bread. Was delicious. I took two pounds of burnt tips to go for a Super Bowl party I was attending that night and they were a huge hit! Everyone loved them. I will totally be back to this place to try so many more things on the menu. Love it.“

“Must GO!! You want great food, an environment we're your surrounded by master craftsman/women ark work. The wood work on the ceiling above you, the wishbone accent wall, beautiful antique stain glass and adorable booths that are so comfortable. Our server Okei and his assistant Hector provided such an amazing experience. 👏 Thank you for creating a life long memory that I will always cherish. Thank you again Team!!“

“Always friendly and smiling, hard working owner and staff, besides the great food!“

“Had no idea this gem existed until today! Looking for somewhere to get a quick sandwich, specifically wanted a panini, and this did not disappoint! My husband got the Cuban which he really enjoyed. I had a build your own. Everything was really fresh and delicious! Great staff! Will definitely be back!“

“Delicious and fresh food, loved every bite“

“The pizza is so delicious. The right amount of sauce and cheese. My boys love the pasta and meatballs. Keep up all the great work Little Joey's.“

“Amazing food, made to order!! Delicious and fast please tip the servers well!! They deserve it“

“It’s a great place to bring your family“

“The food was outstanding and the waitresses did an awesome job. It seemed like they were extremely busy but never showed it. Very professional“

“GrubHub left me hanging and cancelled my order without any meaningful explanation. Since I was still hungry and wanted dinner, I called the store directly. Boy am I glad I did! The manager took my call and commiserated with me a bit and suggested that I place my order directly with them via their website. Since I am just across the parking lot and can't leave my location (I was running out of time for my lunch), he graciously offered to run my order to me personally. JC showed up a matter of minutes later with my extremely tasty food and a smile!. I love their Lobster Bisque soup and mine was still nice and hot. Bonus... While on the website, I registered for the Cafe Zupas loyalty program and got a Free beverage! And, even though I have a discount on GH from my Amazon Prime account, my bill was nearly $8 cheaper! Overall, my experience today with Cafe Zupas Schaumburg has been stellar and I'll be ordering from them (directly, no more GrubHub) frequently and encouraging my coworkers and clients to do the same. Now where is that chocolate covered strawberry for my dessert. Yummy!“

“The Staff Here Is Amazing They Made Me Feel Like If I Was At Home Having Dinner With Family Veer And Yesenia Are Awesome They Provided Me With Great Service Not Only That But While I Was Eating I Saw Them Treat Other Costumers With Respect Even When They Had A Costumer That Was Being Rude They Didn’t Cave In To Their Level And Were Nothing But Kind And Professional I Will Be Coming Back Again And Recommend This Place To Friends And Family!!!!!“

“Authentic cucina italiana. Quality has dropped a little in the past few years. Eating here since 2015. Good portions and fair pricing. Inside of the restaurant looks good.“

“Giordano’s in Lake Zurich never disappoints. Whether we dine in or do carry out, the experience is consistently smooth. Orders are ready on time, the food is always hot and fresh, and the quality never misses. You really can’t go wrong here. This ownership clearly gets it right. No complaints whatsoever. As always, we’ll be back.“

“Good variety of food and beverages. Classic deep dish pizza. Love the cookie skillet for desert. Wow.“

“I haven’t eaten a Quizno’s sub since maybe 2006. I didn’t even know they were still around until I drove past the Barrington location. A very nice lady made my sandwich and the sandwich was SO GOOD! I got the classic Italian on rosemary parm bread. I’ll also add that’s it was very clean inside. Five stars.“

“I love the Italian beef with sweet peppers- always have! Some of my family love the Chicago style hot dogs. Always consistently delicious and a fun place to eat. Keep it up!“

“BEST sub sandwiches, ever!!! Yeah, it’s expensive, but you get what you pay for!“

“We arrived after a soccer game looking tired and worn out so we weren't the best dressed. The staff didn't mind and treated us with kindness and respect. We had an efficient and friendly waiter Cervantes making sure to stay on top of our requests including drinks. We also appreciated a pleasant talk from the manager Daisy who stopped by our table to ensure everything was running smooth. Overall good food and good service! Would recommend.“

“First time I have ordered from here and I am very pleased with the food. Everything was great. I did call and told the manager over the phone.. He needed to hear that,,“

“Highly recommend. Food is great. Chicken Caesar Salad, 4 Cheese Sandwich, Iced Tea and the cookie tray we catered was AMAZING. Staff has been so pleasant and knowledgeable. Enjoying our fundraiser to support the students at Conant High School and McAlisters support.“

“Mediterranean power bowl w/tofu instead of chicken“

“Thank you for the note. That’s ok, I wuv you anyway! May you all continue to stay well during these trying times. We’re with you.“

“Nice place with good food and good drink.“

“Best portillos & barnellis in the Chicagoland area, hands down. Everything’s superb. Beefs, pasta, burgers, salads, etc. clean inside and friendly staff.“

“Our server, Chris, was very helpful in suggesting meal options, and making sure we had everything we wanted. Our food was delivered quickly, and it was all delicious! We will definitely be back!“

“I always have a great experience at Olive Garden and this time was no different. Rather than dining in this time, I placed an order for pick up. My order was ready when promised, quickly delivered to my car, and when I got home, the food was hot and as delicious as if I had died in.“

“They support local live music entertainment!“

“Best healthy and delicious food options at the airport !“
