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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“This was the best calzone I have ever had, it was a good size for large, they were very generous with the toppings, and the tiramisu was to die for. The staff was very kind, overall if I could give them more than 5 stars I would, it was EXTREMELY DELICIOUS!!!!! Would highly recommend.“

“I’ve been searching for a great place for sushi and I’ve finally found it at Tekka! The sushi is outstanding here and very fresh! The menu has a long list of options for all! The staff is quick to serve you and is very friendly and knowledgeable! The entire place is immaculate and tastefully decorated! And the smell of seared tuna and scallops fills the air making way to a pleasant and inviting atmosphere! Well done!“

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

“Not sure why Google calls this Asian Fusion. It’s a Kyrgyz (Central Asian) place, and the food is very, very good. Atmosphere is adequate, but the food is excellent, and I have spent several months in Uzbekistan before. The plov (rice pilaf) is excellent and reminds me of my time in Central Asia from decades ago.“

“Love this place and go back as many times as I can. Brett and Kaz are the nicest and always keep it fun as it takes me a while to decide. Food is really, really good! And I love that it's all GF which makes it my go to. Really well priced and honestly much better quality than other fast food chains. The self-serve miso make it a no brainer to come here honestly!“

“The pizza is so delicious. The right amount of sauce and cheese. My boys love the pasta and meatballs. Keep up all the great work Little Joey's.“

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

“I visited Samarkand Cafe for their pilaf, and it was absolutely delicious—authentic Uzbek food full of flavor. I also loved their compote; it was refreshing and very tasty. The atmosphere is warm and cozy, with a beautiful traditional Uzbek-style interior that makes the experience feel even more authentic. If you’re looking for real Uzbek cuisine, I definitely recommend this place.“

“Delicious and fresh food, loved every bite“

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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 just had a dish delivered to me to try out. Wow! This is amazing! Delivered to my home. The staff is so friendly and so informative. Delicious healthy choice Veggie Almondine was the best I have ever had. So convenient too. I can’t wait to try their other dishes. New Year, New Resolutions, healthy choices. Thank you Parkside Meal Prep!!!“

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

“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.“

“Great place to get dinner for the family.“

“Delicious and authentic Georgian food.“

“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.“

“We had a wonderful dinner tonight at Al Bawadi Grill. We had Mandi (Lamb with Rice) which was amazing and so tasty!. We ordered Salmon kabobs plus Kefta Kabob which were both so tasty and fresh! Yogurt drink was awesome and so fresh! Kanafa was not so sweet just the way we like it. Thanks again!“

“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!!!“

“Francesco's Hole in the Wall is one of those restaurants that reminds you what dining out used to feel like. Every dish is made with care. Nothing is over-seasoned or trying too hard. Everything is balanced. The pasta tastes fresh and homemade, cooked perfectly every time. The tomatoes taste like tomatoes, the herbs are fresh, and every dish feels light instead of weighing you down.

The atmosphere isn't fancy, and that's exactly why it works. It feels like stepping back in time. They somehow fit what feels like 60 people into a space that's about 25 by 25 feet. The tables are small, everyone's close together, and somehow it all works. There isn't a menu at your table either. You walk over to a giant handwritten board, take a picture with your phone, and order from that. It's part of the experience.

The service is what really impressed me. It feels like everyone has worked there forever. The owner is there, watching everything, and the staff runs like a well-oiled machine. Plates disappear as soon as you're finished, silverware is replaced without asking, food comes out quickly, and they somehow keep all those small tables organized without making you feel rushed or cramped.

This is a great place for a birthday, anniversary, or just a really good Italian meal. They don't take reservations, so you have to decide if you're willing to wait. After eating here, the answer is easy. Absolutely. I'd wait every time.“

“Best scones! Excited to visit in February!“

“This is one of the best Mexican Cuisine Restaraunts I have ever had , very authentic. We had the quesabirrias and they were so good. Fresh food served here . Our server Gina was the best . Since we walked in she had a smile on her face , Her attitude and positiveness caught my attention. I had a wonderful fast service with Gina . I will definitely recommend this place to my friends . Thanks to Gina and the restaraunts amazing food I will definitely come back !“

“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.“

“great food for a great price“

“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.“

“I would honestly go here every day for their chicken breast sandwich! It’s absolutely amazing and somehow hits every flavor you could want in a sandwich. And the price is incredible for the quality and portion. Keep it up, Dario’s! I’ll definitely be coming back often!“

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

“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.“

“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,,“

“My wife has been ordering her solo pizza from here for years. I never quite understood it. Then I found out that they had vegan cheese. I am now a devout Sarpinos addict. Their crust is tasty, crispy and somehow soft all at once. Their toppings are fresh and tasty. Delivery is super fast AND hot. There simply is NO better pizza in the Chicago area.“

“I normally don’t visit zupas due to a bad experience in this past at a different location but I decided to try it again the other day and this very sweet girl at the front greeted and helped me decide what i wanted, her name was lilly and she made me feel welcome. Not only that but i proceeded to order the turkey bacon avacado sandwich and it was great. Definitely Remedied my last experience.“

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

“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!“

“Great service! Fun atmosphere!!“

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

“My daughter loves this place. She can still pick her meal from the kids menu and I stick to the never ending salad and soup. I never finish the pasta and always eat a lot of salad before the entree arrives lol I do occasionally treat myself to an entree when I have a craving for pasta. Service has always been exceptional.

Update: We love the neverending pasta promo! My daughter has aged out of the kids menu and loves it when this promo comes along. We love to try an the different kind of combinations! Still a favorite to come to celebrate her birthday!“
