50 Best Salad Restaurants near South Barrington

“The General Manager in Hoffman Estates Panera is one of the best I have ever seen. His name is Brian. He is constantly on the go, working the register, making drinks, cleaning tables, helping people as needed. Very approachable. We frequent this store regularly. Kudos Brian!“

“Excellent fresh made sandwiches and the chili was also very good. Very friendly and accommodating people behind the counter. Will definitely return.“

“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!“

“Wonderful food and staff, our server Kristy was warm and attentive. Ask for her! Breakfast menu is expansive!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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“

“If you love meat, this Brazilian steakhouse is a must-visit! The ambiance is warm and inviting, with friendly staff who guide you through the *rodizio* dining experience. The Picanha and Fraldinha are absolute highlights—perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor! The salad bar is extensive, and the Caipirinhas are refreshing. Don’t forget to try the Pudim for dessert! Overall, a fantastic place to indulge in delicious Brazilian cuisine. Highly recommend! 🍽️✨“

“One of my favorite places in Cary. Great owner, super nice and a great business man. I have tried a few different dishes from here and am obsessed with their caprese salad, chopped salad, buffalo chicken wrap, and their cauliflower crust pizza. They have delivery and also pickup. Their fruit when in season is super fresh and I honestly cant even find that fresh at a grocery store. Sometimes I drive 20 minutes to pick up their super fresh caprese salad and fruit side. Definitely recommend giving this place a shot if you haven't already!!! By far one of my favorite go to in Cary!“

“great place and amazing people need ribs for my itis“

“Leo was our Server and he did amazing, he was able to take care of us although we saw him handle a party of 24. Even though it was only two of us he treated us like we were the party. We appreciate servers like Leo. And shoutout to the manager Jon, nicest guy in the world. Came to check on us and chatted it up. It’s people like Jon that make the world a better place. And lastly shoutout to the back of the house. The food was amazing , my mother loves this place. Keep doing what you are doing.“

“We have been going to this amazing spot since they opened. Last night just solidified how awesome this place is. We rented out the upstairs area for a party and it was an epic time up there! The staff and food were beyond unbelievable. I highly recommend there party rooms and highly recommend Sarah! I can’t thank this place enough on how amazing our party was due to them and their care of our guests!“

“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 vibe was ok but the bartenders made it great!! Chris is amazing! And I will definitely be back the days he works because how awesome he made our experience!“

“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!!!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“Main dish was good. Salad dressing needed some oil as the consistency just dripped as if no oil was added. The dressing puddled on the bottom of the bowl and did not dress the salad. The iced tea tasted like it was made from concentrate. This may seem a little nit picking but at their price point I feel the critique is reasonable.“

“Always a great experience at the Crystal Lake CFA! Recently placed a catering order - everything was delicious, hot, ready on time and, as always, the staff were wonderful!“

“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.“

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

“The crustless pizza bowls are amazing, and it is surprisingly easy to order online with complete customization options. We will be back repeatedly! It is so hard to find low carb pizza options, and these are inexpensive and still delicious!!!!“

“The staff was super friendly and helpful! Jackie was very attentive and made sure to come back multiple times to see if we needed anything else! We would highly recommend having Jackie as your server! The food was also fast and tasted amazing! We can’t wait to come back!“

“always busy, friendly staff and good food“

“Superb lunch spot with clean spacious booths suitable for conversation. Blissfully no music playing! The food was prepared and brought to our table in 5 minutes. The McAllister club was nice to split with my wife, with fresh ingredients and a sweet sauce with just a hint of spice…mostly mayo but there is something more going on there. Potato salad was fresh…..a little bland but that’s OK. Can’t beat the affordable prices.“

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

“Thank you Crystal Lake Noodles and Company for great service!“

“Amazing experience! The service was top-notch—friendly, attentive, and always with a smile. You can tell they genuinely care about customers.

The food was just as impressive—super fresh and full of flavor. I ordered two bowls: the Harissa Chopped Salad and the Mezze Protein Bowl, and both were absolutely delicious. Great balance of ingredients, well-seasoned, and very satisfying.

Definitely coming back. Highly recommend!“
