50 Best Salad Restaurants near Melrose

“So happy you are in Melrose! My 7 yo son just inhaled a plate of poke nachos and insisted that I post a 5-star review. Love introducing him to new flavor combinations. We’ve also enjoyed the spicy tuna bowl and the beef bowl. Absolutely delicious!“

“My hubby is the manager at Antons cleaners next door to liberty and when I come in with him on early days etc etc, I always- I mean ALWAYS people!- get us liberty bell for lunch. It’s the best roast beef sandwich you can find and it’s consistently made the same way so you can expect that high quality with every order honestly. Their online ordering is smooth and simple and they’re super safe upon pickup and following any and every Covid precaution there is! I trust them and I’m glad they’re only right next door whenever I need a fix ( sooo everyday then!) - Kay / liberty lover!“

“My kids love the chips, guac, and tacos. Which makes it an easy dinner option for the family. We love the selections for the bowls and burritos. Very tasty!“

“I'd been trying to find pizza I just craved since moving from Melrose to Stoneham 8 months ago. So far the leader is very good, but no delivery or open on Sunday. Then I saw a post from my favorite Petrones here and discovered that they'd deliver to me. 30 minutes later my pizza and a side of grilled chicken were on the way, ordered through the website and delivery app. A given time of 6:20 was exact! The driver came to my door like an old friend, in a clean Petrones golf shirt, even offering to bring it inside for me. Perfection! The crust was both crispy and chewy. With a unique slightly salty finish, which is delightful. Very generous toppings, well balanced across the pie. Their cheese blend is biteful yet has that long string satisfaction. I opted for alfredo over their signature red sauce and wasn't disappointed, although I'd like more garlicky taste--easily solved next time. The side of grilled & chopped chicken was very tasty and will be awesome on tomorrow's lunch salad. I was very pleased by the generous portion. I'm thrilled to have Petrones back on my speed dial. The ordering app was clunky although it did give real time updating. I think calling will be less annoying. Thanks for the great food. I knew they'd changed hands since I moved but the food quality was definitely unchanged! Yay“

“This self-served salad bar is perfect! Everything keeps clean and staff wearing gloves. Though they have different choices of Korean food, I was attracted by this fresh variety of salad and it’s so flavorful and tasty. Great for vegetarian and veggie lovers, can’t ask more for this summer ! Highly recommended the place.“

“phenomenal food! Great accommodations, and the christmas display is everything they say!“

“I created my own bowl with spicy tuna and salmon, and I tried the volcano sauce. The volcano sauce packs some heat, which I love. Great variety of toppings to choose from and also multiple kinds of seaweed--which I also love. Good price for the portion, IMO, and everything was very fresh. Would highly recommend to anyone seeking a top-notch poke bowl.“

“The best restaurant in Boston!! Congratulations guys!“

“Awesome We always happy with everything“

“I enjoy Cava every day, but especially when I am on my way to an event! Jeff, Luz,&Cris are just a few of the employees that bring charisma and good customer service to the Cava Experience! Thanks for helping my stay healthy. PS the right rice is my fav!“

“Honeygrow on Boylston Street is a fantastic spot if you love fresh noodles and customizable meals. The highlight here is their egg noodles, which are made fresh and taste incredible. The build your own stir fry option makes it easy to put together exactly what you are craving, and everything feels fresh and vibrant.

On my visit I ordered a stir fry with broccoli, edamame, cilantro, parsley, and mushrooms and it turned out phenomenal. The flavors blended beautifully and the noodles had the perfect texture. It is the kind of meal that feels both satisfying and wholesome at the same time.

The restaurant itself has a casual and welcoming vibe, and it is a great choice whether you are grabbing a quick lunch or sitting down for dinner. Having the ability to customize your stir fry with so many options makes it fun and ensures there is something for everyone.

Overall Honeygrow on Boylston Street is definitely worth a visit. The fresh egg noodles are the star, the ingredients are high quality, and the end result is a flavorful dish that you will want to come back for again and again.“

“Delicious pizza. One slice is actually two huge slices! Affordable prices. Will visit again.“

“Solene was absolutely incredible. This was my first time coming in after several recommendations and I was impressed. The staff was positive, the store was clean, and Solene went out of her way to help me. She set me up with the rewards program and answered all my questions with warmth and deep knowledge and she had just started! Will definitely be coming again soon. Definitely a gem at the mall!“

“Food was amazing! Happened upon this while touring Boston and loved it so much, we came back the next day for more. Small space, and serve your own drinks, but the food is worth it. We had their garlic bread, burger, fries, baked ziti and pizza.“

“The food at the Shy Bird in Fenway was absolutely delicious, especially the Chicken Dunks with the homemade sauce dips they were all so good we couldn't choose a favorite and the butternut soup was absolutely incredible, with its little kick of spice and sunflower seeds! Our server was top-notch,very attentive, friendly and made excellent recommendations. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, perfect for a special occasion. The flavors were perfectly balanced and the presentation was beautiful, and the staff was friendly and went above and beyond to ensure a great dining experience. We are looking forward to our visits this summer during the Red Sox games.“

“I only visited to quiet 🤫 hunger pangs, the unauthorized sequel to Games 🎯, and I was short on time. The Furikake Mac Salad appetizer looked good, the ingredients read okay, and the price is right ▶️! It tasted good and held me over till dinner.
Service was good. I was given a smile. I ordered at the self checkout screen.
I am curious about their items on the menu. They have multiple locations and I am going to recommend this one.
There is a dining area in the center of the market.
Garlic 🧄 Spam Musubi? I hope Vikings do not show up!“

“Chipotle chicken Melt on a wrap“

“We’re from the UK and quite literally never tasted or experienced anything like this place. We ordered the pastrami sub, sausage egg and cheese bagel and a cream cheese bagel. Just get everything on the menu though. The people are so hard working and so friendly, and the food was incredible - so much value for money!! If the shop is full for eat-in, then take it to go and take a short walk to the public garden. They also show the prem games! This was just so good. Thank you so much.“

“great place!!! the owner did a great job with this place. clean and modern etc. 5 stars“

“Life alive Café
I love the decor of their restaurants . The people are really friendly here. Just remember when you walk in grab a menu figure out what you want and then they’ll bring it to your table. The smoothies and teas are delicious. I’ve had salads and warm bowls. Very healthy and worth the price.“

“fast and efficient customer service. Definitely recommend the Hamburger and fries“

“Kenzoku Mazesoba is a great eatery for comforting, brothless ramen (mazesoba). The interior is bright and the staff are accommodating.

The meal started with three warm Kurobuta sausages that were topped with pickled red cabbage and a mustard-based sauce over fresh greens. Overall, a well-rounded appetizer with a nice balance of textures, richness, and acid.

Next, the torched Hamachi roll had fresh fish slices laid on a roll and then torched. The hamachi was then topped with black tobiko and complemented with fresh ginger and wasabi. The roll was light and tasty.

The Yuzu Shio Ramen was the standout and featured braised pork chashu and a delicious poached egg. The medium-bodied noodles were a pleasant to chew with the toppings.

The vegetable mazesoba (vegan) included tofu soboro, mix of corn, quinoa, red pickles, and other goodies. It was a lighter flavor and we appreciated the opportunity to order the truffle oil on the side.

Overall, recommended for a casual and pleasant dinner among family and friends. The food quality and atmosphere make this hidden gem a great choice.“

“great owner and great workers Amy Amanda Sheila hard workers all the food is excellent and a very clean restaurant“

“YUM - AAAYY - ZING!!

Words are insufficient to describe my excitement for Mario’s!!!

I’ll start with THIN CRUST - Classic Neapolitan pizza, ITALIAN style. Then FRESH FRESH FRESH ingredients make all the difference. I look forward to it, whenever I can make it, usually for lunch on Friday, the only week day they’re open at 12:00 noon. Awesome vibe that’s 100% local local local. Small place, mostly take out, but you can seat 3-4 people at the window counter, which I love. Old school marble counter, with comfy padded bar stools. You have to know it’s here as the location is a tad off the beaten path of prime visibility. Which ‘proves’ one of my philosophies ‘ great location, often mehh food, not so great location - the food must be amazing. So many amazing points …. One of which is the ACTUAL MARIO! Punctuating the super local CHEF OWNED cafe. He’s here all the time, super nice guy, a joy to chat with … and he truly loves making incredible pizza!!“

“Family had dinner at Stoked in Cohasset last weekend….what a great meal! Pizzas were SO delicious, as were the Greek and Caesar salads. House wines were really good. Children loved their meals too. Our server was terrific, fun and attentive. An overall perfect experience…casual and delicious!! It was a little quiet when we went, but it was early. Can’t imagine this local gem will be quiet very often! We’ll all be back ! Nana from Hingham“

“We shared the garlic butter chicken stir fry with extra garlic and garlic sauce and the OG cobb salad. Omg…they were both so good and complimented each other well. Damar gave us recommendations of what we could order and the rest of the staff were so friendly. Casual, friendly, delicious and a great spot that’s friendly for the wallet. Will definitely come back!“

“Went for dinner Sunday with my son and had one of the best meals I’ve had in a very long time. From the Service, the bread in that oil was amazing to the shrimp scampi and the tiramisu. Highly recommend!!!“

“I had the south west bowl . It was very good . You got a lot for the money. I could not eat it all . . A little more spice would have been nice.“

“Delicious food. Great service. With a great balance of healthy and tasty offerings.“

“Had the wild mushroom pizza. Absolutely delicious Fries were also delicious But the chocolate cake and vegan vanilla ice cream cream was to die for! Highly recommend“

“Everything was delicious and cooked perfectly. My only small complaint would be the amount of chicken received in the Butter Chicken dish. I believe it was $16-$18 for that specific dish and it wasn't enough for even one person. The taste was incredible however!“
