42 Best Salad Restaurants in Lexington

“My family, and I just found this place. All 5 of us are DELIGHTED. We almost didn’t stop, because we were expecting a big building. THANK GOD, we took a chance and went in! This food was nothing short of AMAZING. The owner was beyond hospitable, the food was fresh, the kitchen was clean (97% recent Health Inspection) the prices were reasonable and the quantity of food was double portioned! We are still talking about this dining experience. Nothing makes us happier than finding authentic jewels like Zaki. We can’t wait to get back to Lexington.“

“It was a great atmosphere. We really enjoyed the food!“

“Great staff and even better food. Need I say more?“

“During our visit to Kentucky’s Bourbon Country, we had the distinct pleasure of dining at what has quickly become our favorite restaurant in the area. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. The food was nothing short of outstanding—flavorful, expertly prepared, and perfectly paired with a diverse and impressive collection of bourbons. What truly set this restaurant apart, however, was the warm and welcoming atmosphere, which made it feel like more than just a meal out, but rather an experience shared with friends. The staff’s hospitality and dedication to making every guest feel at home contributed to what was undoubtedly a memorable evening. We are already eagerly anticipating our next visit and look forward to enjoying another fantastic meal, discovering more exceptional bourbons, and sharing the experience with some great friends. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the Bourbon Country region—whether you're a bourbon enthusiast or simply someone who appreciates great food and service.“

“As soon as you walk into Vinaigrette Salad Kitchen, you’re greeted with a beautifully designed space that feels clean, fresh, and inviting. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, setting the tone for a great experience.

The service was excellent — our food was served in a timely manner, and the staff were incredibly kind and accommodating to both me and my daughter. You could tell they genuinely cared about creating a positive experience for their guests.

And the food? Absolutely immaculate. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. It’s clear they use quality ingredients, and each bite was better than the last. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“It was a fun clean place to eat! I will be back again!“

“Was going through Lexington to see my family and this place caught my eye, curiousity killed the cat, had to see what it was about.. Very friendly staff and plenty of cool things to buy. Loved the candles and drip recipes.. Ower was a very beautiful lady who was extremely polite and helped me with choosing frim the menu. When it go back I would love to try their different varieties of their tea. Thanks again ladys ??“

“We stopped by there last night dined in We were extremely disappointed To see an employee smack her fist into her hand at another employee that was on her break & she told her To move it, let's go. The other employee said I'm on my break This was.
Very disappointing to watch and see while we were out to dinner, let alone that our pizza was burnt on the bottom so we threw it out.But we did have the Opportunity to meet a gentlemen that worked there by the name of Jeremy who was absolutely amazing with us and other Customers.“

“Delicious dinner with excellent service.“

“The most delicious food, ever. I never feel like I’m eating “vegan” when I’m eating it. Anetra is a wizard behind the scenes and puts her heart into her art. I’ve never had a thing from her that I didn’t LOVE. 💕“

“The food was delicious and the service was outstanding!“

“Connie was our server and she did awesome! we came in when they first opened as we had a very early appointment for our son at UK. she was prompt, answered all our questions and interacted with our little one. food was great but service was better!“

“Fast, friendly service. Affordable food. Vegetarian options. Interesting eating environment“

“Creative menu, delicious, FRESH food, great atmosphere, friendly staff. It’s a favorite stop of mine when I’m visiting Lexington from California.“

“Went to surprise birthday party here last weekend. Very festive atmosphere. Lots of servers coming to our table to make sure we felt special. Complimentary dessert. Songs. Good cheer. Cozy settings and lots of parking. I like Olive Garden and this one in Lexington is a very good one. I got soup and salad. Great minestrone. Always love the salad.
Thank you Olive Garden for a wonderful afternoon with friends.“

“excellent food. one of the best pizzas we've had in Kentucky hands down. freshly made, super quick and always delicious. staff are amazing with kids and friendly and entire place is super clean and relaxed and comfortable. highly recommend“

“You know a restaurant is good when you crave it the next day“

“First timing trying this place. Fill place, feels like a neighborhood spoke with some unique dishes on the menu.

I got the Lumberjack burger. It came out raw, ordered it medium. They took it back I expected a new burger, the simply further cooked the burger. This time it was well done. Not a big deal flavor was still there, juicy and well seasoned. However, I think much of the Beer cheese had cooked off.

We got the salad with orange vinaigrette and it was very good. The squash soup was also nice on a snowy day.

Service was excellent and enjoyed the experience. The only negative was the burger cook and the not getting a new burger. Just kind of pointless to ask for how I’d like it cooked.

Would eat here again though“

“We always enjoy sitting outside at Palmers! Wonderful food and fantastic service!!!“

“steak and cheesy to please me🔥🤷🏿‍♂️“

“Absolutely my favorite place to grab a bite in Lexington. There are no longer any Taco Tico restaurants close to London. Bean burrito covered in cheese mild sauce. That's been my order since I was probably 10 years old and, I'm 52.
I just love the food. Good portions fresh made and delicious.“

“Today I ordered the penne pasta and meatballs. It was very good but since I have a serious issue with acid reflex I could only eat a little of the tomato sauce. The manager saw I was not eating and asked if something was wrong. I explained the problem and he graciously gave me a free ham sandwich to take home. Now THAT is customer service. Kudos to that wonderful manager.“

“This salad is most excellent!!! Fresh and flavorful. And I mean flavor FULL! Always happy with the quality and service from Nourished Folks!!!!“

“Awesome place to dine. One of my favorite places to eat.“

“Being a paramedic means eating whatever you can whenever you can. Sakura has great food at a great price and is a good way to break away from the monotony of overpriced hamburgers and every restaurant's "original" chicken sandwich. My truck partner and I make a habit of swinging through once or twice a week.“

“Sam's sushi has consistently amazing food, and fantastic service! Best sushi place in Lexington!“

“The Press is amazing. I love healthy food & they have such unusual & delicious choices.“

“We have been ordering Big City Pizza for months now. I keep forgetting to add a review. It seriously is the best pizza and cheese sticks in town. Delivery is fast! If you love pizza, give them a try. You won’t be sorry! Delicious!!!🍕“

“I haven't been to Pita Pit since covid first hit. Unfortunately this was one of the businesses that didn't come back from the covid shutdown. If you have one near you or one in your city I advise you try it out. I'm in Louisville and I'm willing to travel for a sandwich.“

“When neighboring West Coast Gourmet Pizza stopped answering their phone 45 minutes before their published closing time, we called Noodles & Company. It was 10 minutes before their closing time and they took our phone order and provided EXCEPTIONAL customer service. We have always liked their food, but the service we got today will not be forgotten and we will visit them more often.“

“This chick fil a has its work cut out for them. Lots of hungry students and faculty around lunch time. They always try to move efficiently and quickly. However, it can take some time to get your order but I’ve never waited more than 5-10 minutes. The food is always hot. My one downside is the soda machines are not always dispensing the drinks “properly” but with students presumably using them all day I can see how they require more maintenance than most. For a student center chick fil a, you can’t ask for much better.“

“Kid friendly atmosphere and tasty pizza!“

“I went through drive through and my food wasn't ready.So no one said anything to me.Instead, they took care of everyone behind me, which was about six cars. When my food was ready, they didn't even say sorry for the weights of course, service.“

“Let's talk breakfast...I know that everyone associates CFA, with just Chicken sammies...but, hear me out, don't sleep on the other offerings...their sausage egg n cheese muffin.. obliterates both Mcds and Wendy's...equally proportioned...a pattie that tastes like actual sausage...fluffy scrambled egg with cheese on a nice toasted muffin ...the hash rounds are standard..but accessorizes this ensemble...“

“Cozy little strip mall Chinese restaurant. No buffet and the food is served on paper plates with plastic cutlery, but they make up for it with great flavors and fresh meats and veggies. Their stir fry always has that crunch of freshness to it and I think that says it all.“

“Dan is excellent! Super friendly and great server! 10 stars for him. These are not the best tacos I’ve ever had, but what do you expect in an airport? They were still pretty decent and had a good amount of meat on them to be filling with just two. The chips were really good! Service was fast which is great especially when trying to catch a fight. Placed our order at 4:40 PM and got our food at 4:45 PM. Lots of gluten free options for those with allergies. Overall very pleased!

“Last weekend I went with my school on a field trip. Going through the line was fine, but as we got up to the counter the lady told us that the pop machine was down. Lemonade was a 10/10, the waffle fries were over salted, but other than that it was pretty good. Only issue I had was the woman who took the name from the order got my boyfriends name wrong, he told her "Ruiz, R-U-I-Z" and she put "Ryez" on the order lol. It was funny after though cause the guy who read it off looked just as confused as we were 💀“

“Ladies of Lexington FB page members recommended Sir Pizza as one of the best pizza places in Lex. Richmond Roag location did not disappoint! Pizza was loaded with toppings. Tasty, yeasty crust. Good quality cheese. Quick wait. Manager was efficient and pleasant. I will go again, for sure.“

“FOOD WAS GREAT! TOOK TOO LONG FOR FOOD TO BE READY.“

“After several successful catering deliveries, I dined in at the new McAlister's location in town. I was very pleased with the cleanliness of the store, friendliness of the staff, and the quality of the food. The new location has really rejuvenated this brand in town! Will definitely make it a regular on my rotation.“

“Well I've said this before but Panera Bread has become my new favorite place. I just wish they had one in my town. Food was great as usual. The chicken noodle soup and the chicken bacon rancher are awesome. Wife got potato soup and a grill cheese and I have to say they are pretty good as well. Can't wait to go again. Panera if your reading this come look into Somerset KY one would go great here.“

“Always so busy, and it seems the service gets slower each time. Even going in is atleast a 7-10 minute wait fo a simple order. However, the quality of service is great. Everyone is always pleasant. The restaurant inside was clean and play area was clean ?? too! The food is 8/10 times always great..(to be fast food) its a little pricey when you're feeding a family, but just a solo quick brunch, dinner etc is pretty reasonable.

Vegetarian options: Salads, smoothies, lemonade

Kid-friendliness: Play area is pretty cool, wish they has a more 'big/older kid' section..(8-11 yrs old)

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramps are in place, electric entrance & exits, wheelchair accessible bathroom stall“
