50 Best Salad Restaurants near Wilmette

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

“I got a sandwich and it was covered all over in copious amounts of ground black pepper. Both slices of sourdough bread? Coated in pepper. Fixings? Coated in pepper. It was enough black pepper to cause discomfort with every bite. The sandwich was literally bleeding black pepper. I did not order pepper. The sandwich does not come with pepper.

It was almost hilarious if not for the fact I spent real money on the completely inedible, peppery sandwich. To be clear: I have never had this problem with any eatery, restaurant, or cafe before. I guess someone either got fed up with their job or got bored and started experimenting in the kitchen or maybe they were just plain confused. I didn’t ask for salt or pepper. So why all the pepper? It was a decent sandwich, apart from the copious amounts of black pepper, which I had to scrape off. It was impossible to get it off the soft sourdough, so I had to deconstruct the sandwich and just use my stale baguette as bread. I was hungry, so I ate it, but the taste of pepper was still burning my throat.

Anyway. A note to whoever made the pepper sandwich; I give you five stars, because it had the potential to be a great sandwich. I know you work hard. But please do not grind black pepper until the sandwich is utterly covered in pepper, especially when the customer didn’t ask for pepper. Pepper is very strong. And too much of it makes any sandwich inedible. I am not mad at you, as I’d never been to this particular Panera before, I am just extremely confused. Thank you for making my sandwich, I might return again, but I mean… the amount of pepper that was on the sandwich could have caused someone a lot of discomfort.

I left this honest review and report of the incident because regardless if this was just plain confusion, a genuine attempt to make a good sandwich, or an attempt at hurting someone or the Panera itself by making a bad sandwich covered in extreme amounts of pepper (I hope not), maybe this Panera should take this as a learning opportunity and also as an opportunity to treat their employees better. In this economy, employees deserve to be treated better anyway. So regardless what happened that led up to this inedible pepper covered sandwich being served, you never know which customer will get a pepper covered sandwich and immediately assume the worst, or the best in an employee or your business. If management should care to make improvements, I’d just start with reminding everyone that pepper is strong, that copious amounts of pepper make sandwiches straight up inedible, and less is more. That’s not forgetting that I didn’t ask for pepper in the first place and I paid for a sandwich that was supposed to be edible. Treat your employees better! Maybe this was a simple mistake. But just let it be known that being kind and constructive with criticism has ripple effects and it has the potential to make everyone happy. I was still content with the insanely peppery sandwich in the end (my stomach still hurts), but I tend to be forgiving and maybe someone else wouldn’t have been.“

“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!“

“Absolutely incredible first experience, can’t wait to try all the different arancini!“

“Best chicken sandwich I ever had! The chicken soup was also amazing!“

“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!!“

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

“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!!!“

“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.“

“One of the best local restaurants 🔥🔥“

“Tasty food! Fried calamari was just perfect! & Shrimp tacos were very authentic! Our waitress Ana was so friendly and welcoming . My family and I will be back!“

“I never have complaints when I eat from BIBIBOP! My food is always fresh and delicious. Whether it's the Salmon, chicken, steak or Korean Barbeque, the proteins are tasty. Being able to load up on veggies, toppings and sauces of my choosing from the generous offerings is a big plus in my book. I like to choose the sweet potato noodles as my base and work from there. They also offer rice bases and veggie bases. They are totally vegan, vegetarian and gluten free friendly. I highly recommend BIBIBOP for lunch or dinner on the go. Download the app and place your order for super quick in-store pickup. The points from ordering in-app add up really quickly for free tasty rewards. If you enjoy lighter fare with lots of flavor, make a trip to BIBIBOP. You won't be disappointed.“

“Best veggie Egg Rolls ever. It was my first time here so I played it kind of safe and got Cashew Chicken. It was excellent , large portion, with just a hint of spiciness ( which enhanced flavor). Tried the Coconut Milk Ice Cream. Good but unexceptional. Over all excellent and reasonably priced for what you get.“

“Family friendly restaurant with food choices for everyone but the made fresh pasta was the best part!“

“The food has been great and the service, too! Prices good Generous portions!“

“the best food in town 😋😋😋“

“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“

“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.“

“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 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!!“

“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.“

“I had a lovely todo italiano sandwich. The bread was had a great crust giving it a good contrast to the fluffy but chewy body. Prices are affordable, and they have a selection of baked goods along with their breads. They do take tap to pay and cards.“

“I love thai food and have been to many different places. This Thai restaurant has to be by far one of the best restaurants and food I had ever had. The customer service was phenomenal; the main server was highly attentive and polite. I loved their pad thai; literally tasted perfect compared to other pad thai dishes from other restaurants. My friend and I ordered their pork pot stickers as well, and they were absolutely divine. The dough was almost sweet and it paired well with the sauce and pork given in the dish. Do not even get me started on the chicken satay. The marinade and peanut sauce for this appetizer exceeded my expectations. Super juicy and flavorful. Overall the food plus the atmosphere was amazing; if I could I would give this place more stars. Thank you Rice and Noodles Thai Food!“

“Best dumplings I’ve ever tasted!“

“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.“

“Excellent Deep Dish Pizza!“

“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.“

“This place is the best! Everything we’ve tried has been delish! The power tuna salad, the quinoa taco salad, the tuna wrap, the blackened chicken wrap, the Texas wrap, and the cheese cake-all amazing!!!“

“Delicious and reasonable sushi. We order for takeout and it is always freshly prepared.“

“I ordered the gluten free deep dish stuffed pizza and let me tell you, BEST GLUTEN FREE PIZZA I HAVE EVER HAD. CRIED TEARS OF JOY BECAUSE IT WAS THAT GOOD. 10/10, CANNOT RECOMMEND ENOUGH.“

“This is a review for Ekiben Catering!

I really wanted to have Japanese food (specifically Onigiri) for a Studio Ghibli-themed baby shower, and reached out to several local restaurants. Ekiben was by far the most responsive and fairly priced!

Shasha was lovely and helped explain the prices and option recommendations. We opted to have the food delivered, and it was delivered exactly on time. Thank you so much! Everyone loved the food!“

“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.“

“I recently ordered a 40 person catering order for my abuela’s birthday party. Prices were reasonable, communication was great, and everyone loved the food! Thank you so much for help make her birthday memorable! I’ve also eaten here and their back patio is so cute. Go check it out!“

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

“The food was incredible! Best ive had in a while. We got the mixed plater, it comes with rice grilled chicken and kabob. The chicken was very Juicy and the flavors were spot on. Also got some appetizers, the baba ganoush was so flavorful and very delicious. The service was outstanding! Highly recommend 10/10“

“i was reading all the reviews about how bad the service was and how bland
the food is- i LOVED it here. came during retro on roscoe and got such great service and amazing food. steak fajitas were great. i’ll be back for are.“

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

“Best Chicago deep dish pizza.“

“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.“

“As a fairly new pizzeria in Chicago their pizza is delicious. We got the Paddy Is Our Daddy pizza and a Margherita pizza. Both amazing. We got an Apple Italian salad to share. The only thing is they don’t have any appetizers but they said they’re working on it. Highly recommend.“

“The Breakfast House was such a great addition to the neighborhood, and you can tell with how busy it gets on the weekends. I live right down the street on Dakin and brought my Mom here when she visited.

I got the Grilled Cheese Sourdough and it was fantastic. It was a take on a grilled cheese “breakfast style” with scrambled eggs and bacon with a side of honey mustard for dipping. My Mom got some fruit parfait and really enjoyed it.

Service and atmosphere is great. You can sit inside when it’s cold and they have outdoor seating when it’s nicer out.“

“Really great place down from the Aragon Ballroom. Great food & workers 11119/1/2024“

“Been coming here for years. Even though I moved out of neighborhood to Des Plaines, I still come here. Everything is awesome! 👍👍 two thumbs up!“

“Alejandra: I often go here for dinner Sunday nights with my 9 year old son! I was attended by Johanna and Max, they went above and beyond to make sure that everything was great at our table! Thank you for such a nice service!

Oliver: I go here on Sundays like my mom um well today Max and Johanna were the best but when I got to my table people were sitting there but the hostess took us to a table witch was good thank god.but I heard them say there was a mango icee but I did not see it on the menu so idk how that if that’s new but they have great service and there the best.“

“Buona qualità del cibo, ambiente accogliente e familiare, manca a mio parere una buona apparecchiatura.“

“Straight up my favorite pizza place in Chicago. This is a full blown endorsement from a slightly overweight living musical legend. Check my credentials. �“

“I will drive across the state for the fries with garlic aioli. Yummy!!“

“Delicious, fresh, reasonably priced. The best out of all home delivery prepared food options out there. Have great healthy options and more indulgent options like steak fajitas and burgers. Yum!“

“we have gone here 2x in the last 2 months - the 1st was for carry-out and it was fantastic - the 2nd was for dine-in lunch specials and it was fantastic.“
