47 Best Salad Restaurants near Boylston

“I want to make some suggestions rather than saying I do or don’t recommend this place. I’m familiar with Pepper’s, and I like to support hard-working chefs, especially when they use local farms and vendors. The overall concept of self-service is fine, but I preferred the table service of the old restaurant. It felt a little more closed in, and I also don’t like the paper plates, cups, and plastic utensils. Real utensils were available, though. The salad choices looked really healthy and colorful, and the menu was certainly varied enough. I saw a frittata being served and it was the size of a half piece of pie, though it looked good. My friends and I opted for soup and grilled cheese sandwiches, thinking they would be more like upscale comfort food. Two of us had the bacon-tomato version, the other had the mushroom. Since they were pre-made, then popped in a convection oven, they were more like melted cheese on dry, light toast, versus the buttery, golden goodness that makes a grilled cheese what its name implies. The portion was small and the fillings meager. If the idea was to make it a healthier grilled cheese, even a drizzle of olive oil might help. The soup was luke-warm, but tasty enough. We shared a dessert bar, which was delicious, with black coffee, which didn’t taste fresh like it had ben sitting a while. Be forewarned that if you pay by credit card, an automatic 15 percent tip is added, though you have the option to change it up or down, if you happen to notice it. There wasn’t much service involved, and you clear your own table. My portion alone, which included the sandwich with chips, a cup of soup, dessert bar, and coffee, plus added tip came to just under twenty dollars. I would give it another shot, but there is room for improvement. We all agreed that the dining experience was at a grade of about C+. Wishing you success in the future... Hope this helps.“

“Happy Birthday, _____! Now here’s a happy twist! _____ (a leap year baby! 😉 ) treated us to her Happy Birthday celebration at the splendiferous Shawarma Palace yesterday! Right across the side street from The Commons at Worcester City Hall! Yes! We New Englanders know how to party! _____, her husband _____, pal _____, and yours truly (all of us Leominsterites) made merry at the best middle eastern establishment around! (It’s been a favorite of mine for some time!) Oversized containers piled high with falafel, kibbeh, egg plant, grape leaves, rice, vegetables, as well as beef and chicken (all separated for the veggies among us, ahem!), hummus, tahini, pita bread, baklava, etc. etc.! All in the wonderful Shawarma Palace! When I worked in Saudi Arabia (Riyadh) in the 1980s, I fell in love with the orange-and-lemon-flavored shawarmas along Al Baatha Street, the central traditional thoroughfare at the time. Today, we all got to replicate those flavors at the Shawarma Palace! Hurray and hurrah!“

“Lucians has been providing excellent food and service to downtown Worcester and surrounding areas from different locations for at least 20 years. You won't find nicer people anywhere. I'm so happy they've found a home in what's left of the old mall. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed. Great food made to order, at a great price! And now they're open for breakfast too. Excellent!“

“I just had the meatball sandwich and potato salad. Honest review....the meatballs are AMAZING, the bread was very fresh and delicious. Very messy to eat but worth every napkin used!! The potato salad had a bit more mayo than I like but it had a nice flavor and was really good. The price is very reasonable for the portion size and quality of food.“

“Bought a 4 pack at the local grocery. They had been stocking at the store for a short time. Had purchased their selection then realized the beer was flat and a waste. Spent almost $20 for a 4 pack to throw it away. Sent them a courtesy email that I was a bit disappointed and they should check the inventory at that store. Shawn responded a few days later and apologized and asked if I was near their brewery, and he would replace my purchase and offer me a T-Shirt and asked what store I purchased and if I had any photos. Sent him all the info and photos. He has not followed up on his promise.“

“They've been around for a long time serving simple tasty reliable Italian food. It has that deli and cafeteria vibe. I always get the prosciutto and mozzarella Grindr. Huge sandwich enough for 2+. I love it when I see them take the whole prosciutto out of the fridge and slice onto the sandwich directly. Ask for extra oil and tomato.“

“Just to say thank you Brother's Pizza Hudson appreciate you Yesterday I did an online order, it was a big order Including large “meatballs sub” , but by mistake I clicked on “ meatless sub “ I don’t know that I did this mistake When I opened the sub I supposed that they did the wrong one I returned back to them and asked that Iam sure that I ordered a meatballs not meatless They were very nice to me , good listener, excellent customer service , very clean They take care of me and did another sub They didn’t charge me, they give it to me for free And returned back the mistake sub And finally they showed me the online receipt That showed that it was my mistake ( I clicked on the wrong choice ) Thank you Brother’s pizza“

“We had a great experience ordering from here yesterday. We got a party-size sheet pizza (cheese) along with two veggie pizzas, and everything turned out really good.

What really stood out was their service. We placed the order on short notice, and they handled it without any issues. On top of that, we asked to add an extra veggie pizza at the last minute, and they had it ready within 10–15 minutes.

The pizzas were fresh, tasty, and exactly what we needed for our gathering. Really appreciate how quickly and smoothly they handled everything. Would definitely order again!“

“I'm a Midwesterner up in Massachusetts for work, so I've consumed my fair amount of Chicken Bacon Ranch pizzas. I am very very glad to say that Athens Pizza & Grill absolutely did it justice. Fantastic pie, one of the best I've had. I look forward to ordering from them again to see what else they have in store.“

“Had a large eggplant parm sub, it was huge! It was a little different than expected but was very good 😁

There was five of us and everyone was very happy with the food. The service was super fast, courteous, and friendly. Would definitely go back.

I'm not a gambler but there was Keno there for those who do play.“

“I always get food from here and coffees. From my favorites; souffles, chicken Frontega, salads, caramelized latte and my new FAVORITE - Their Hot Chai latte!!!! So goooddd! Can't beat their Chai latte (or lattes in general).

The staff are also nice, I don't know the gentleman's name but he's always at the front (taking orders and checking out). He's patient and very nice.“

“The dinners and desserts are phenomenal! I am obsessed with the chocolate lovers mini cakes, it has such a unique and moist taste I ended up making a large order for one of my holiday parties and they were a huge hit! I also highly recommend the meat and rice dinner meals, they are very filling and fresh.“

“Melissa the bartender at this location was awesome and made an excellent margarita. She was friendly, asked good questions and I'll told us about other Borgatti location's. I will definitely tell people about this place. Next time we will try the food as well. Thank you Melissa I am sending my people your way!!“

“Amazing atmosphere, great food and the Mango Cart Beer is soooo good!! easily became one of my favorite spots in Worcester!! will make this a regular hangout!! ❤️ 🌺“

“This steak and cheese is top tier. It was hard to choose which one, so I ordered the MisSteak. 👌 in my top 3 and tied for first.“

“I absolutely love the Chick-fil-A—it’s hands down the best fast food place around.
I recently made the mistake of going to McDonald’s just for the playground on a rainy day, and wow… it really made me appreciate Chick-fil-A even more.
The staff here are on another level—so professional, well-trained, polite, and genuinely kind. The food quality is consistently excellent, and the entire place is always spotless, bright, and beautifully maintained.
They go above and beyond with thoughtful details too. On one visit, they gave my daughter a plush cow, which made her day, and the new balloons are such a fun touch for kids. Even the bathrooms stand out—with sanitizing napkins, mints, and mouthwash available. It’s those little things that really set this place apart.
The only small downside is that I wish the play area were a bit bigger—but honestly, everything else is so great that it hardly matters.
This place truly feels like it’s on a different level.“

“My “gym buddies “, who have become my very good friends went to lunch today at NY Pie in Westborough. We went there because they are a small business that supported the No Kings rally on October 18th and we wanted to show them our support. The pizza was absolutely delicious. If you are in the Westborough area, please patronize them and let them know you appreciate their support of our community.“

“Food was Okay, but our server Yariel, was amazing! He was nice, terrific, and even hilarious. He showed genuine care about our table. Even when the food was mediocre. He made the experience a 5/5 Stars. Wish I can happen everytime I go to a restaurant. Nice job Yariel, keep it up!“

“My husband and I came to this location TWENTY years ago this week on our first date so we came back to celebrate that. I was excited and told the manager when she came around to check on everyone's tables, she too was excited we came back to celebrate such a milestone. They made it extra special for us and we appreciated it ❤️ Outstanding food and service“

“There’s always a first time, and for me, it was at this 99 Restaurant in Hudson. Overall, it was a pretty good experience. Locals (and yes, I’m using the word just to mirror how Americans affectionately refer to the rest of the world’s population in their native places) probably don’t need an introduction to this chain. But for anyone unfamiliar, think of it as a Chili’s with a bit more dining space beyond the bar or an Outback without the grilled steaks.

The food is solid, with comforting options that cater to hearty appetites. I was curious about what sets 99 apart from similar chains like Applebee’s, and the answer I got was simple: “They think they’re better and charge more.” While neither is glaringly obvious, the menu does offer a few standout dishes, like the Shepherd’s Pie - a refreshing option compared to the usual burgers and fried food lineup.

Next time, I’ll try sitting at the bar - it looks like the kind of spot where this place really shines. For a casual, satisfying meal, 99 in Hudson is worth a visit.“

“My husband and I frequent new restaurants regularly as we travel for his profession. I have to say not only was my salmon exquisite the real reason, our experience was on the top of our list Is because of our server. She made us feel so comfortable and at home. We felt like we’ve known her forever, which is a great feeling as we are always in new areas. Not only was her knowledge on every item I asked about on the menu top-tier but her customer service and friendliness was outstanding. I have family who also travel here quite often And I will be recommending this restaurant and having them request her Because she is what made the experience so memorable.

We ate at the restaurant for the first time tonight, May 8, 2026“

“Amazing food and such friendly service! Highly recommend!!!!“

“Nashville chicken waffle pizza is the best thing ever“

“Everything was so good! Chicken was tender, and the Garlic Nann has to be the best there! 10/10☺️“

“I stopped in for a warm place to wait for my son’s appointment, and what a treat! It’s 715am and snowy, but Panera is open, warm and friendly. I got a small coffee and cherry pastry and a toasty seat by the fire. The whole place was clean and bright, the staff friendly and ready, despite the early hour and the storm. This was so unexpected and so appreciated. Thank you!“

“We love going to Panera and this one is the best! Super clean and the staff is friendly. Can’t wait to get back there.“

“I get lunch here a few times a week as I work close by. I only have a 30 min lunch so I always order through the app and use the super convenient curbside pickup. I never have an issue with my food or service. Today my lettuce in my salad was pretty rotten. I called to let them know so they could toss what they had left and wouldn’t have any other complaints. Manager offered to refund my money and I said no. Not a big deal. 10 minutes later the manger was at my work dropping off coupon cards for me! What incredible service! She is the manager and she is running food for curbside, answering phones, AND driving to peoples work to make orders right?!?!? Someone give this woman a raise! And everyone reading this please be nice to your food service workers. They are feeding us during a global pandemic. Thank you!“

“I would recommend the food is wonderful, usually the service is good! Almost always! Two weeks ago I was here and the girl that was at the register left the register because she was under pressure because supposedly I ordered too many things! She walked away crying if you can’t handle the pressure don’t work somewhere! I asked if you was upset with me I ordered you pick 2 cream of broccoli soup one turkey bravo half of sandwich a cup of iced coffee and some chicken for my dog one orange scone! So what’s the problem! I don’t know today when I went back to Panera bread the girl with the yellow nails was so nice to me, she is a great worker, but come to find out, the nice Brazilian girl in the kitchen said you complains last time and you made the girl cry I said how did I complain I never complained! Maybe she was just having a bad day but not because of me! I felt kind of off guard when I went to pick up my food, So again if you can’t handle the pressure don’t work at Panera bread! It’s my money and I spend it where I want to spend it I work hard for it so Customer is always right I wasn’t rude I was always pleasant every time I come here or anywhere I go me and my service dog! I like an apology from Panera bread this is a palling very disturbing! If I ask for something extra I pay extra for it bottom line the customers always right, if you want them to return! Treat them well, & leave your problems at home don’t bring them to work with you blaming others that your upset with them when in fact it’s something else that’s going on in your life! I did not treat her badly at all! For the record the rest of the staff is very nice, but when the girl started crying of course I felt very bad for her I thought someone died in her family or something no one told me that she was upset with me! Course I feel still feel bad for the poor girl maybe somethings happening in her life that she took it out on me on the customer don’t bring your problems to work! I hope that the manager talks to the girl to comfort her what ever she is upset with! But I know it was not me!“

“Awesome guest service! The bread is to die for.“
