50 Best Salad Restaurants near Wheeling

“I recently ordered from Potbelly and had an interesting experience that turned out quite positive! Initially, I thought I was ordering a delicious sandwich but opened my order to find it mostly meat. It was a learning moment for me, as I realized I needed to add the extras!

I also mistakenly opened a salad instead of just the sandwich, which made my bill seem a bit higher than expected. When I reached out to the manager to clarify the situation, they were incredibly understanding and took care of everything promptly.

I genuinely appreciate the excellent customer service at this location. I highly recommend Potbelly—100%! I look forward to supporting them again, and I encourage everyone else to give them a try as well. Great food and fantastic service!“

“I just dined here and was completely taken aback by the amazing service! I wasn’t sure which soup I wanted when one employee, whose name is Ellie, heard me thinking out loud and she quickly jumped in to offer samples and share her favorites. Her warmth and dedication to customer service was truly astounding and made my already good experience here NEXT LEVEL. If you ever get a chance to dine here and chat with Ellie, do it! She is truly the sweetest and gave some hospitality you don’t see everyday!“

“great food , fast service ,“

“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!“

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

“Delicious and authentic Georgian food.“

“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!!“

“I had a great experience at this restaurant! The service was excellent — Dastan was our server, and he did an amazing job. He was very professional, friendly, and made sure everything arrived on time and exactly as ordered. It’s rare to see such attention to detail and genuine care for customers. Highly recommend coming here — ask for Dastan if you can!“

“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.“

“I am a foodie and very picky sushi eater. This place is a GEM. I am in heaven that it’s so close to home. I usually order and come pick up but this time decided to switch it up. It is Friday night now and I came on my way home from work to sit down with a drink and place my carry out order. Atmosphere is very cozy and full of people dining in, from first dates to families with babies. Food is DELICIOUS. Staff very pleasant. Love love love ❤️“

“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!“

“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.“

“fantastic food. great flavors and large portions. love the Huli Huli chicken and pork belly combo meal. I loved the poke nachos. thanks for your hospitality will be back.“

“The food was good, but portions were small or less than most places.
The atmosphere was quite simple and plain but comfortable . The place was small and clean.
Service was order and pickup to your table.
Many carry outs while I was there.

Parking: Street.

Wheelchair accessibility: Acceptable.“

“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.“

“This is one of the best family-run restaurants in Des Plaines. Sunrise Grill has been serving the community for 18 years, and you can taste the experience in every dish. Chef Jose cooks with passion, and Sylvia’s hospitality is unmatched. Ask the staff for their recommendations—they’ve never steered me wrong!“

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

“Get the Mediterranean bowl with steak, so delicious. Feels healthy and delicious all in one. The guacamole and chips are addictive. I could eat a bowl of just the hummus and guac.“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Delicious, flavorful & healthy food at a reasonable price. I got a bowl with purple rice, kale, broccoli, carrots, pickled onions, kimchi and Korean BBQ beef. Tried teriyaki sauce on the side and it was tasty but the veggies are all so seasoned so well that sauce wasn’t necessary and the meat was also super flavorful and marinated. Highly recommend. They list all ingredients and calories as you’re ordering so you can stay mindful! Great place.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I was staying with businesses colleagues at a hotel in Milwaukee Avenue in Northbrook. Not many restaurants in this area unless you fancy Korean. A US colleague recommended Al Bawadi Grill. Excellent Mediterranean/ Lebanese restaurant in Chicago Northbrook and Glenview area.“

“Got the gyros and onion rings with Cajun ranch. Wife got a grilled chicken sandwich. We went at 6:30 on a Saturday. Food was hot and tasty, ready to try the pizza next time. The service was fast and friendly. They have lots of staff working for them.“

“We live in the area, and this is by far out favorite Mexican spot to go to. Been coming here for close to 20 years. The food is fresh, and I love that I can see the cooks in action. Small place, but big flavors. Clean, friendly, and food is fire.“

“Delicious and fresh food, loved every bite“

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

“Large and varied menu, and they were quite accommodating to our party of 7. Every person at our table ordered something different and was delighted with their meal. I had the osso buco with risotto and it was delicious. Banana cake and butter cake for dessert were enough to feed the whole table after such a rich meal. It's the kind of place where you want to try everything on the menu because it all sounds so good. I will definitely come here again the next time I'm in town.“

“The food is absolutely fantastic. Been eating Polish food all my live - and this is the real thing. My Busha would approve for sure. 🥰“

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

“We tried this pizza place last night and were not disappointed!! Delicious!!! We have always been a Lou Malnati’s fan but wanted to try a smaller business. WE WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK!!!“

“Great service! Fun atmosphere!!“

“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!“

“Food 9 out of 10, service is always a 10, it’s a very tight place and can get a little over whelming when it’s a full house which is almost all the time. I haven’t had a bad item off their menu, worth going or to go, won’t be disappointed.“

“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!!!!!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Went out with the family! Great service, our waitress Jenyttzy is a gem! Very charismatic friendly and energetic! Service was good, time passed by quickly with good times here. The Drink in the picture was strawberry lemoncello margarita. Cheers everyone!! 🥂“

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

“I went in for some Honey Barbecue Parmesan Garlic Wings OMG the Best, and if u love Hot wings baby this is the place to get them I taste the sauce to hot for me but it was tasty. Go check them out“

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

“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.“
