50 Best Salad Restaurants near Skokie

“Today was the first time I have ever Ben in a Portillo’s Restaurant, first time I have ever had an Italian beef sandwich. I have a Lotta friends in Fort Myers who go all the way to Tampa to get this sandwich and they continue to tell me how good it is. So this evening we decided to go to Portillo since I was visiting on my grandkids and my daughter and son-in-law, I really enjoyed that Italian beef sandwich. There are a lot of other good things on the menu, but that was what I was there for. Unfortunately, they do not have a Portillo’s Station FortnMyer Florida. I can only hope that one day they will build it there.“

“The restaurant is cool and comfortable on a very hot and humid day. The restaurant looks good and smells good. Came to do laundry next door and found this by luck. I have lived on the other side of the world and I have been to Thailand multiple times. This food is excellent. We had teriyaki chicken and tom yum. The nice lady explained it was one of her first days while the owner is in Thailand on vacation. Hopefully they see this and know their restaurant is in good hands!“

“Awesome and we enjoy the food“

“Panera Bread became my favorite family dine-out, sub and salad joint, when we lived at Great Lakes Navy Housing and my husband worked in Deerfield, IL, back in 2005. My most memorable meal is the Greek Salad next to the Apple Cranberry Salad... Their Panini sandwiches are delicious too! All food is freshly made daily, and at the end of the day, they gave their daily baked goods to their last paying customers on that day. Not sure if they did that regularly or as a generous gesture since we were a young military family of 5. Either way, I recommend Panera Bread!“

“I have been going there since it has been open. Really great sandwiches every single time. I love their idea of running every sandwich through their big toaster oven. There sweet reats are to die for! Especially the sugar cookies and dream bars! My classic order is a big wreck, on wheat, with all the trimmings minus the hot peppers. If you haven't been, it beats Subway any day of the week.

Had to put my own food in the bag. I like Tetris but sheesh“

“Amazing breakfast spot that was a random find while in the area. Great service and really cute atmosphere. Kids meals are free with adult purchase & the portions of my son’s teddy bear pancakes were huge! Actually portions of everything is huge. The churro French toast was incredibly delicious and included as a side to my omelette…small upcharge well worth it!! If ever in the area again it will be a must to to revisit!“

“I can’t imagine a better name for a restaurant that serves yummy burgers. “Burger” is the best name for this establishment. Like an upscale Red Robin, but with way more YUMMMM. So damn good. I went splitsies with my chum. Good move. They cut the burger in half. One half was a little bigger, but that’s okay.“

“Beautiful beautiful spot. We enjoyed every minute of our dinner here.. went as a family of 5, they don’t have a kids menu but some times like the burger works for kids… everything was delicious from the truffle fries to the burger and the lobster sub…“

“Delicious food, great service!“

“I tried the pizzas last night. We had 4 different kinds and they were honestly soooo delicious! Can’t wait for you to open! This is GREAT pizza!!!“

“Enjoyed the Christmas pop-up, very festive and the food is fantastic!“

“On the evening of July 5 my wife and I tried Avaspi on Belmont Avenue in Lakeview for the first time. It will not be the last! I love lamb and am quite particular as to how is it prepared. The “lamb delight” menu item was the best lamb I have ever had in a restaurant: tender, succulent, and prepared to perfection. The side salad accompanying it was not your ordinary side salad! My wife and I both enjoyed the Mixed Meze appetizer plate. Each of the five items was quite good but the muhammara was to die for. We ended our meal with tea, baklava and kubralice. The décor and ambience were refreshing and relaxing, and the service was outstanding. The pricing was very reasonable. Please give it a try. We do not think you will be disappointed.“

“The concept for the menu is a unique trip along the Pan-American highway with stops at various Latin countries. Each dish and drink is thoughtful in its ingredients and presentation. The jicama salad was refreshing, but not at all plain. The pastel de choclo was a wonderful surprise of a warm dish. The frozen el arenal was seriously dangerous in how delicious it was, I can’t recommend it enough. The atmosphere was beautiful and the music was perfect. We are so thrilled to have this gem in the neighborhood and can’t wait to see what they do in the future!“

“This place was so cute and the food was amazing! We got the chicken satay, Thai fried chicken, crispy basil pork belly and crab fried rice. My favorite was the crispy basil pork belly! It was incredible and flavorful.

I also appreciated the cute decor. It was very charming inside and felt cozy.“

“Hands down one of the best restaurants in Chicago. It’s rare to find a restaurant where every dish is so flavorful and on point but Elia does it so gracefully! Amazing atmosphere and great service - Ebrar made our dinner experience so enjoyable. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Love CAVA! The build-your-own bowls are amazing, the pita dishes are delicious, and everything feels fresh and healthy. Cute spot on Milwaukee Ave, but be prepared if the line is long, because it's popular for a reason!! Would deffo come back :)“

“The food and service were AMAZING. Will most definitely be coming back here again!“

“Got The Dogzilla and The Lord Byron burger, both Byron's style. Staff was very nice and quick and the food was great. If you're ever in the area, make a stop here. It's worth it. Awesome place and good food.“

“I went here first time and I was so impressed. Great good. I ordered fish n chips and they brought out malt vinegar even without me asking. We ordered salmon platter. It was phenomenal. Wow. Definitely recommend this place 10/10“

“Highly recommend! Good food that 3 generations of Desi immigrants approve of, from those born in colonial India, to post partition Pakistanis, to American-Born little ones. Suits all palates.

All food was good but saag paneer in particular was the bomb. So was nihari (authentic!). Elachi chai was great , too. Very clean, down to the bathroom. Kind service.“

“This is like an Asian Chipotle where you can make your own rice bowl. It's a gluten free restaurant for those with allergies or medical needs. The food is delicious and the staff were so friendly. Don't miss out on the miso which is tasty and comforting. Great spot for families, casual meals or pickup to take home! We will be back.“

“the best food in town 😋😋😋“

“After a game at Wrigley, we decided to take a short walk for dinner and landed at Giordano’s, where they lived up to their longstanding reputation. Our server, Taylor, was the best ever.“

“This is an amazing & food is always good! They just added outdoor seating so our puppy could join us.“

“Raphael is the absolute best. He made our night & we couldn’t have had a better experience he deserves the biggest raise in the world. 10/10, 11/10 the maximum amount out of ten possible in the world.“

“If you’re looking for one of the best restaurants in Chicago for elevated American cuisine with creative flavors and an inviting atmosphere, ILAS deserves a spot on your list. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance felt modern, intimate, and perfect for anything from date night to dinner with friends. The staff was welcoming, attentive, and made sure every dish arrived perfectly timed.

We started with two refreshing cocktails: the Angel’s Blush and the Golden Pomelo. Both were beautifully crafted, balanced, and the perfect way to kick off the meal. The Angel’s Blush offered a light, fruity profile, while the Golden Pomelo delivered bright citrus notes that paired wonderfully with the food.

For appetizers, the Crispy Pork Belly was an absolute standout. It was perfectly caramelized with a crispy exterior and incredibly tender inside, delivering rich flavor in every bite. The Pork Lumpia Egg Rolls were golden, crispy, and packed with savory filling, making them an easy crowd favorite.

Moving into the mains, the Short Ribs were incredibly tender, slow-cooked to perfection, and full of deep, comforting flavor. The House Cheeseburger was another surprise highlight—juicy, perfectly seasoned, and topped with high-quality ingredients that elevated this classic beyond expectations. The Sweet Corn Agnolotti was rich, creamy, and beautifully balanced, with sweet corn adding freshness while the handmade pasta showcased the kitchen’s attention to detail.

Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. Between the exceptional cocktails, outstanding food, warm hospitality, and stylish atmosphere, ILAS delivers a dining experience that’s worth coming back for.

If you’re searching for the best restaurants in Chicago, where to eat in Chicago, or a place that combines creative American cuisine, handcrafted cocktails, and impeccable service, ILAS is a must-visit. It’s the kind of restaurant you’ll recommend after just one meal, and we can’t wait to return to explore more of the menu. Highly recommended.“

“Wonderful all around. Great service. Great food. Nice decor. Perfect street parking“

“Tasty Charcuterie boards and salads and sandwiches along with an interesting wine selection.“

“Excellent Deep Dish Pizza!“

“Came in here on my lunch break and the server was very nice and attentive. The Thai iced tea I got was some of the best I’ve ever had, and the seafood soup I got was delicious. The prices were also good given the portion sizes. If I’m ever back in this part of the city I’m definitely returning here again“

“I tried Ekiben for the first time after driving by the other day. I ordered a roll and donburi to go and immediately loved them seeing that the food came in paper container, not plastic! Both rolls and donburi were excellent. I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone who likes Japanese food!“

“I had an amazing experience at Shawarma and Grill! The service was absolutely top-notch from start to finish. As soon as I walked in, the staff greeted me with genuine smiles and made me feel welcome right away. They were attentive without being overbearing, and made sure everything was just right throughout my meal.“

“Best GF Pizza I have ever had and I have been GF for 15 years! Highly recommend!“

“excelente la Deep Dish pizza“

“OMG the coffee here is absolutely amazing, but the spinach pastry thing they have is to die for! I got one and we walked around the area for a bit, before leaving I had to run back inside to grab all the remaining spinach pastries! They only had one left and ofcourse i grabbed it immediately! I still think about that spinach pastry literally everyday it was so freaking good!!! Mindy's is now a must have for me everytime i am in chicago!“

“I love the combination of healthy, quick, and relatively inexpensive that Pockets offers. Everything is whole wheat (pockets, pizzas, calzones) and baked in-house so always super fresh. Combine that with the numerous healthy ingredients and you have a winning formula for busy professionals looking for a nutritious option on the go. Don’t ever change Pockets!!“

“Cool cafe with a bunch of eclectic nicknacks and wall art. I got the goat cheese crostini which comes with a side of roasted tomato relish. It was good but it didn’t blow my socks off. It almost seemed like it was missing just one extra ingredient or garnish to take it to the next level.

I also got the chicken club and it was good. The star of the sandwich was definitely the bread. You can tell this place knows what they’re doing when it comes to making bread.“

“This place is amazing! The salads are delicious, nutritious and filling. We look forward to coming here as often as possible and recommending it to every veggie lover out there!!“

“Where do I even begin? The pita? Perfect texture and taste. The cherry tomatoes? Obviously fresh, juicy, and sourced from a great farm. The romain? Plentiful and CRISP. The Dill and Taziki sauce? Also VERY fresh, has a citrus kick somewhere, and seems to be made fresh as well. Because it doesn't taste like a store bought sauce filled with preservatives. The hummus? That might actually be where the citrus is from. However, the hummus is not overly salty! You can actually taste the Chickpeas and they use good ingredients as well as olive oil for the hummus too! The chicken? Is in NO way shape or form dry and it's actually seasoned! It's juicy and normal is it overcooked. The olives? Brothers and sisters I HATE olives by themselves, rarely on certain foods. But these olives are not overpowering and stealing the flavor profile, it just adds more depth to the flavor bomb of the Greek chicken Pita! The feta? What could be bettah? Seriously though if you can see this picture you should've seen that they don't skip on the feta either. Again the flavor is ALL the way there but not overpowering. While the texture is almost creamy. Probably with assistance from the sauce but still, it's not overly dry! 10/10 Would recommend & I will be back! Now the facility was spotless, the cleanest "fast food" I've ever seen. The staff? Phenomenonal, personable, kind, attentive to details, and downright superstars that make that place run like clockwork! Wooooo wo weeeee wo!!! If you haven't been here then you've got to go!! Moderate prices, exceptional ingredients, lovely staff, and clean facilities(where the staff actually care like the NW Expressway location in OKC). I'm out, ty for listening to my Ted talk! 🫡“

“Alway a great dining experience. One of my all time favorites !!“
