50 Best Salad Restaurants near Northlake

“Sooo good. Served quickly and fresh liked it wet but bun not falling all apart, perfect!“

“Love the food and love the staff even more! I have a meat allergy and always ask them if they could wipe the counter, change their gloves and use a different knife when cutting my sandwich. I'm always so embarrassed to ask but the staff is always so kind about it. They go above and beyond to make sure my food is made correctly. Thank you!“

“Recently I’ve had the privilege of not only meeting the owner of this establishment but also trying their meatball sandwiches, which is one of their top sellers. First bite, you can tell immediately that this was made with a lot of love and care. It legit felt like a hug from my grandmother every bite. Every part of this sandwich, from the bread to the sauce, and even the meatballs, you can tell that no shortcuts were taken. It’s clearly an artisanal sandwich. By far one of the best meatball sandwiches I’ve had. Even talking with the owner you can tell that he’s proud of his product. His food speaks for itself. Can’t wait to try what else this place has to offer. Keep it up guys!“

“First time ever here and I'll definitely be coming back you have a choice of 2 different Rice (white and black mixed with rice) and gluten free noodles. So many toppings. I had the Korean BBQ meat and my goodness it was amazing. So many healthy options here and their lemonades are so frickin good!“

“First time trying this place yesterday. It was excellent! I ordered a gyros dinner to go, and an order or fried mushrooms. The dinner came with a Greek salad, which was delicious. The gyro dinner had an abundance of meat and quite a bit of fries, with tomatoes and red onion. It was outstanding! The sauce for the gyro is made in-house and is very good! I did order and extra pita (the dinner comes with 1) and I'm glad I did, because there was just way too much meat for 1 pita! Overall, it was great! The staff, I think it was the owner, was very friendly and nice. I'll definitely be back!“

“When I arrived at LAX late at night, I was disappointed to find that all the food options were closed. Hungry and unsure of what to get, I stumbled upon a Farmer’s Fridge vending machine and decided to give it a try. I chose the chicken Caesar salad, not expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised. The ingredients were incredibly fresh, the flavors were well-balanced, and it tasted far better than I anticipated. It was a convenient and satisfying option, and I’d definitely grab one again in a pinch!“

“After a week of travel for this Mom, the last thing I wanted to do was to make dinner. This isn't the first time we've been to Glen Prairie and I knew it was just the place I wanted to go. The atmosphere is warm, but quiet. Perfect for a good family catchup. The food is comforting without being too heavy and the wine, beer and cocktail selection is the perfect pairing. We've had the pleasure of being served by Anna a few times now and she does a great job. She is attentive and watchful, without being overbearing which is a difficult skill to master for a lot of servers. Aside from that, I love that it is a safe place for folks with food allergies and I feel very well taken care of in respect to that issue. I can tell that everyone from the hosts to the servers to the bartenders to the kitchen staff are very well trained in creating a safe and welcoming experience for each guest. Glen Prairie is quickly becoming one of our go to family favorite restaurants and we will definitely be back!“

“Great food, comfortable atmosphere, wonderful staff and an incredible chef! Have eaten breakfast, lunch and dinner many times here and I’ve never had a bad meal! I recently hosted a dinner for a baby shower for my daughter in their side room. Had 14 people with a catered menu of chicken limone, beef tenderloin, gnocchi, salad, roasted potatoes, and grilled vegetables for a very reasonable price. The food was delicious and the service was superb. This is the second dinner like this that I have done here and it was amazing! Thank you Ms. Medina, Jose , Dorita, and Chef Jose!“

“Seriously so amazing! Tender juicy meat, good pricing, great portions. Worth every penny!!“

“My family and I love this place. You can’t go wrong with anything you order. Great service and family atmosphere too.“

“Excellent in every way! Meatball appetizer was superb!! Carbonerra was authentically made. Friendly, efficient service. Don't forget the Gelato and bread pudding. We will return!“

“Great pizza! Moved into the neighborhood and was trying to find a good local pizza joint. I found them via advertisement in the weekly ads. Business is always very professional and kind.“

“I've been wanting to try this place for a long time since I drive pass it often. Today me and my husband tried it the first time for lunch. Very very good. My husband is very particular when it comes to Asian food since he is Asian himself and has his spots in the city we visit. We ordered a few things to share and try. The portions are very generous and we ordered too much as usual but we wanted to try several things. We had the shrimp soup in coconut milk and veggies ( I can't remember the name). Very good. I would come back for that. Also we had the Papaya salad. To me, this was the only thing I probably wouldn't order again. It wasn't bad, but I prefer my husbands which is hotter and a few more things in it. Then we ordered a chicken skewer with a peanut curry sauce. This was great. Very tender and the sauce omg . I asked the server if he could bring a tiny little bowl with some pho broth to taste it. My husband is a pain in the butt about his pho in the suburbs. He approved of it. That's a complement to them then haha. I ordered the drunken noodles with shrimp Thai spice level. And omg yesss! So good. I can't wait to take my older son here, he will love it. My husband got the glass noodles with crispy duck. It was so darn good and the duck was perfect. Soft, crispy but not oily. We also had Thai tea. Very good. We will definitely be back to try more of the menu.“

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

“Pizza is great. Salads are good. Large menu. BEWARE. They try to stick you with a 3.00 fee for incidental items you may ask for. This is a turn off. Make sure you have them remove it“

“just had the breaded steak ,I used to love Ricobene's, let me tell you, hands down just as good maybe even better ,sandwich was much bigger,“

“Very reliable and delicious middle eastern food. They are generous with portions and come out pretty fast.
The mixed grill meat was so tender. The seasoning was perfect and each taste was met with a gush of spiced and easy to chew. Even the meat was cooked well and not too grimy or dry.
Always a great time eating here, and nostalgic!“

“Amazing staff and the food was literally so fresh and DELICIOUS!!!! Worth the trip & portions are HUGE! I had the Diablo shrimp pasta, so flavorful and the shrimp was cooked perfectly. Will be back again! :)“

“The Rosemont location has some of the friendliest staff I've ever met. Every single person makes a difference. They can instantly turn your frown upside down. The food is fresh and prepared shortly after ordering, and you feel happier when you leave. I absolutely will continue to come see the friendly faces, and enjoy the delicious food provided.“

“5 stars for sure! Their takoyaki balls and sushi are top notch! I’m in love with this place. Perfect for a night out“

“I was on a soft diet for that diet and I thought of Olive Garden. I place a take out order because i had just left the hospital. I got there they was closed. I was willing to wait and i am glad i did. The food was great, Customer service meet my expectation. Branden was very friendly and professional. He is an asset to the company. I had not been to Olive Garden since you guys moved. I enjoyed my food. Hat off to the cooks. I will return very soon.“

“Highly recommend this place“

“Greetings my Foodzies, tonight we decided to try a restaurant that we have passed by numerous times. The great escape on Irving at 9540 w Irving Park rd. in Schiller Park.
This is a unique restaurant that has been around for years. The property has a rich history (see the picture I have posted with the story).
The restaurant’s bar area is very rustic with a bar that was hand carved in 1889, very impressive. TVs have been added to draw in a people who want to eat and have a drink while watching TV. Also a gaming section in the bar area.
Music is old school 50-60s, our server Mareen was pleasant, friendly and knowledgeable.
We started with Grilled Calamari it was grilled nicely but could have used a few more seconds to get a little more char flavor. It was also missing the signature balsamic. Glenda chose the Rigatoni in Vodka sauce with chicken; the chicken was scarce and the sauce was not the traditional sauce it had an odd flavor, not terrible but not what we expected. With a cup of lentil soup, tasty but needed a little extra salt. I chose the baby back ribs and broasted chicken (these dishes they are known for) the chicken was very good, crispy skin and very juicy. The ribs were tender but a little dry. The BBQ sauce was the recipe is the recipe of the owner’s grandfather. It was a Kansas City type sweet sauce with a nice smoky flavor (as a first time patron we were given a bottle to take home). I had the baked French onion soup topped with mozzarella, I’m used to Gruyere, Swiss, or Gouda but ut was very good.
I give this restaurant 4 stars, let me know what you think. Ciao, Ciao for now.“

“We had dinner there last night to celebrate a special occasion. So much on the menu to choose from, and everything was excellent! Calamari is hard to do right, but they did it right. Fried zucchini. pork chops, meat balls, dolmades, spinach pie, and more.... Will definitely be back!“

“amazing staff, incredible food, and prices are great. definitely better than your local pizza place, check them out“

“What a pleasant surprise. Pretty solid food. With generous portions. All at very reasonable prices considering it's in an airport. 2 of the veggie burritos (one had guac, which was an extra $2.59) came to just under $30. They have a seperate Vegan menu that's clearly labeled, with 3 different options. The veggies were fresh- squash, kale, spinach. We will definitely come back here the next time we need a meal at O'Hare. Updated from previous review on 2025-06-30“

“Food is always good. The BBQ Mac 'N Cheese was fantastic. This location was quite quiet during the early part of a Thursday lunch time. Most orders were carry-out.

Entrance to the parking lot is from a very small street on the east side of the restaurant.“

“huge shout out to Gio at the Elk Grove Village, Illinois location. you were such an amazing person to run into. the kids truly enjoyed your trivia, and loved their little prizes. you are truly a gem to this establishment.“

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

“For thanksgiving i and my family received a warm Delicious meal from Parkside meal Prep . Everything was beyond delicious and will recommend them to anyone . Thank you Ariel and lovely stuff ❤️“

“I've ordered delivery from the Oak Brook twice now and both times they were amazingly Delicious. I went to the Oak Lawn location and it wasn't near as good. I didn't enjoy it. Even though I ordered the same thing in both locations. The oak Brook will be my go to from now on for soup.“

“Went for the Father’s Day special. Very casual atmosphere.
Our group ordered the rib dinner & pork tenderloin dinner.
Food was so very good! Salad was good with the garlic dressing. Ribs meaty & tender! Baked potato was excellent! Pork tenderloin very tender. Generous portions! The complimentary apple pie was outstanding!
Our server Nicki was the best! Very attentive!
The Sunday morning/afternoon staff is adorable :)
I’ll definitely be back!!“
