50 Best Salad Restaurants near Lake Forest

“We came to Sophia Steak for our anniversary and had a great server- Carol. She took care to help me with my dietary needs and made the meal so special. They gave us a little champagne toast and special anniversary menus. It was all the little touches that make it perfect. And then there’s the steak! Next level taste, quality and sides. We highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Excellent food .Meat are tender and juicy.Pork belly taste like Philippine liempo.The macaroni salad is pretty good.👍“

“Have eaten here several times. The last time I went was in a weekend and I ate the Schnitzel on challah special. It was fantastic! A must try.“

“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.“

“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.“

“My husband and I had lunch today for the first time. The atmosphere was very nice and our waiter Louis was exceptional. The food was delicious. We were also told that to reserve space there that holds up to 80 is $200. I thought that is very reasonable. I highly recommend Olivia’s for a wonderful dining experience“

“I wanted to give this location props for their lunch on 8/17. Walking in around 1pm, I could tell they had had their butts handed to them and were obviously understaffed. However, in my perspective they were handling the hangry customers very well, were staying calm and the staff that was present seemed to know what they were doing. The only reason for 4 stars is because and (this has happened more than once at this location) rather than suggesting I try my Pesto Cavatappi with pork, they tell me it comes with pork, which is not true. There is an additional charge for any meat on this bowl.“

“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.“

“Wow, I’m still impressed after our visit! 😍 We recently moved to the area and I think we’ve already found our new favorite Italian spot 🍝✨ It honestly reminded us of the amazing meals we had back in Italy 🇮🇹 My husband booked a table for a lunch date, and we were pleasantly surprised by how cozy and intimate the place felt 💕

The atmosphere was charming, though I can see how it might feel a bit tight for some since the tables are placed quite close together 🤏 But personally, we didn’t mind at all-in fact, it added to the lively vibe! At one point, the people sitting next to us even asked what we ordered because our food looked and smelled so good 🤭

I’m a big seafood lover, so I tried the Seafood Diavolo, and it was absolutely delicious 🔥🦞 The spice level was just right, and the pasta was cooked perfectly, loaded with lobster and a mix of fresh seafood 😋 I’m already excited to come back and explore more dishes from their menu. Definitely a place worth returning to again and again! 💯“

“Great spot for lunch! I came in around 2:30 - the service was attentive and hands on, and food came out extremely quick. I love that they serve fresh juice (the Verde Vida was amazing) and have a large tequila selection. The Blackberry margarita also did not disappoint, and the food is authentic and delicious. Will have to come back for dinner!“

“Great service! Fun atmosphere!!“

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

“We stopped today as a family for pizza before hitting up all the Home Alone sites. The pizza was incredibly delicious! The staff were friendly and the building itself was small and cozy. Fast service too! The neighborhood is delightful as well! Would absolutely stop again when in the area.“

“This is a solid pizza joint. I’ve ordered delivery 4-5 times. Good ingredients, speedy delivery and consistent results. Plus the delivery guy is a nice guy and seems genuinely proud of the pizza. I compare it to to Rosatis, but I like this better, and that’s with zero shade. In conclusion… if Jimanos is in your neighborhood hood, you should give it a chance. Ps the BLT Pizza was awesome. I feel like I invented it in 2002… But immediately thought it was better than the one I made. Only complaint… Too much bacon. But then I say that out loud and it sounds stupid. You can’t complain about too much bacon. That’s dumb. Everything that was supposed to be crisp was crisp and everything that was supposed to be hot was hot. Almost like a McDLT…“

“Foodstuffs is quite fabulous! From their soups to sandwiches to prepared foods, you can’t go wrong with everything fresh and delicious. And be sure to get their Courtney’s tuna salad - the best!!!

The Glencoe location is a bustling place and they have a wider variety than the Evanston location (which I also highly recommend).

And did I mention the desserts?! Lots of scrumptious options!

Along with the wonderful food, the customer service is excellent!

Well deserved 5 stars! *****“

“This is really a wonderful restaurant. The price point is excellent and the value for money superb. The food was really, really good, and we all enjoyed our meal. The skirt steak, the lamb chops, the beet salad and the ceviche. The poached pear is something different (not sweet at all) and the chocolate cake was very tasty. And for 10 bucks you get a really solid pour of wine (probably around 9 oz), which is just unheard of in a restaurant. Service was good and we really enjoyed ourselves. Highly recommend you try this new place. They deserve to be more busy. It’s new and people need to get the word out.“

“I went to this place just today, the waiters were amazing, so kind and on top of stuff. The place is so big, and although they were busy, it was very sanitary. The food was amazing and had many options. The atmosphere overall was so great, everyone was so nice and it was decorated beautifully. Overall, I give this place a 10/10, definitely would recommend.“

“was fast and tasty,people were friendly and polite.“

“Hey guys, just wondering my share experience with you. This guy was awesome pretty fast on my order and they did everything what I want to on my pizza costume no problem to pay them tips and say couple words great to this facility thank you.“

“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,,“

“Best scones! Excited to visit in February!“

“We had a 30th high school reunion meet up at the Caldwell Grille last night. Mayra and Bridget were awesome with our group the whole evening. They were very accommodating for our group that kept expanding, friendly, and professional. The food and drinks were also great.“

“This place is a must-try if you're driving to Deerfield for the first time. I came across this place while I was on my way to work and I figured I'd give this place a go.

The moment I walked in, I was amazed with what the restaurant had to offer between its sandwiches, soups, salads, and desserts.

I ordered their brisket sandwich, which was really good, and I wanted to try one of their dirty sodas as well. FUN FACT: They let you make your own dirty sodas. Not to mention that they also give you a free chocolate dipped strawberry with your order and I definitely didn't want to miss out on that.

The server up front was also very kind and he let me sample some of the soups while I was browsing through the menu.

Overall, great service, great food, and definitely a top recommendation for those living in the Deerfield area.“

“Great Customer service and Quick deliver! Pizza was really good as well!“

“annalise & nia were so sweet! i had such a great experience with the staff here and for that reason alone i highly recommend it. everyone is so nice always. the food is great, staff is great, atmosphere is great, i could go on! but huge props to the team especially annalise and nia! 🥰 thanks again girls! 🍝

i have a nut allergy (tree nuts) and this is a safe place for me to eat. they recently added pecans to the menu but because they’re in the salads (same with wendy’s) i’ve never had an issue and have eaten here a ton.

i recommend the new garlic bacon mac & cheese and the chicken parmesan those are my favorites. if you’re craving noodles, stop by. be sure to tip the incredible staff! <3“

“First time at Half and Half Pizza Co. tonight and I will return. The pizza is incredible! and on top of that the atmosphere is great and the staff were equally incredible. A very impressive selection of wine so I can’t imagine you wouldn’t find something you’d like. Great experience.“

The middle eastern pickles are just right, not the classic American kind
Super clean restaurant, super friendly staff and some of the best food around

“Wonderful way to enjoy dinner before the concert“

“There is nothing about this place I don't recommend. The meads are amazing, their Cocktail Master is amazing at coming up with unusual combinations, and is great fun to talk to. The music mix is great as well (but possibly because I'm old 😁)! Overall, the place is extremely welcoming, with a selection of games and sofas so you can sit and enjoy your drinks and socialize.“

“Yummy burgers and fries! We had fried pickles too“

“I am a tour director in Chicago. My company booked Giordanos on Belmont for 2 bus loads of high school students at 6pm. We unexpectedly got there at 5pm! Luis and his team were able to seat and serve us in short order. Thank you Luis and team. Giordanos pizza is the best!“

“Awesome service and it was amazing!!“

“Today Pizanoz Pizza donated almost 200 slices of pizza to Advocate Condell Medical Center for all the health worker heroes working there! Best thin crust pizza in Buffalo Grove! Check out the menu! There’s something for everyone!“

“I would have preferred more chicken in my honey mustard wrap, but still quite tasty. The ingredients tasted fresh and the dining area was clean.

So, yes, if you're looking for a healthy meal, this is the place to go.“

“What you see is what you get! But, don’t get the breaded chicken sandwich, it was horrible!“

“Amazing place! Delicious onion soup!!!!l love it 😍“

“Whether it’s lunch, dinner or a late night snack, Nachos pizza knows how to make a hot and great meal or snack. Pizza is always plentiful of toppings, sandwiches with flavor and tacos for a great price and large portions. Dropped by on a whim to grab a quick slice of pizza and a drink and as usual, the slice was hot and tasted great. Staff is always friendly and ready to help. Definitely one of our top choices for tacos or pizzas or even just a slice. Definitely recommend.“

“Good grub men excellent sandwiches 🥪 we go there often also love the soups and the their great employees thank you so much.“

“We’ve been coming to this Sweetgreen for a while and always enjoy it. Tony in particular always makes the experience better - he’s friendly, attentive, and gets every order right. It’s nice to see someone consistently bringing positive energy and making customers feel welcome.“

“Love this place downnnnn! The regular staff is always so on top of everything and friendly! Sometimes there are longer waits but that’s just due to the high demand during lunch rush. I always feel so good after eating here, the food is super light and yummy. Staff is 10/10 they got it locked down“

“It is our favorite lunch spot! So friendly and very good food!“
