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“

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

“The atmosphere is very pleasant and the food is delicious. But the service was very poor, from the woman who prepared my bowl to the one at the cash register; they were extremely unfriendly. I even checked to see if it was close to closing time to understand why they were all so grumpy.“

“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.“

“Awesome We always happy with everything“

“Awesome people and delicious food done fast and for a reasonable price! Quit reading my review; pick up the phone and order! 🤤“

“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!“

“Veronica was so attentive to my needs and even came around the counter to help me choose the food combo I needed catering to my high carb diet on my 75HARD journey. I was very reluctant to go there because for this kind of challenge there're not many restaurants that can cater to most healthy diets and you'd probably have to cook but Honeygrove was amazing! Recommended!“

“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!“

“Small place, but incredible pizza.
We were looking for a quick bite and
were blown away by how good it actually was.
High-level ingredients and perfectly cooked.
More for pick up or delivery
but definitely will recommend this pizzeria.“

“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.“

“Grilled Clams make it so worthwhile“

“Awesome pizza.. huge slice“

“Exceptional Italian food. Extremely pleasant and generous offerings. Strongly recommend to family and friends.“

“The food was so good and they are so generous with the amount of protein they give! There is a large variety of sauces and the flavors are quite interesting! The people working there were very nice and did not get annoyed when I asked them to add other add-ons after they had already finished making my bowl. 10/10 would recommend to everyone“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

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

“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.“

“Another wonderful family lunch today! Thank you Chris and the Carlo’s Cucina family. My second visit in three weeks. We’ll definitely be back! My new favorite dining spot on my visits to Allston, from the Cape. 👍🍽️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mark N.“

“Visited Honeygrow in Boston after roaming Seaport and the Christmas market. Thought it was a cafe but it is a noodle restaurant. Miso garlic chicken was sweet and more American style dish. My kids loved it and it’s not for me. Garlic shrimp better. Chewy noodles and affordable but the only complaint I have is that it’s too oily. Ordering lacked human touch and it was hard to ask questions while staff were busy. Overall, great comfort food and at affordable prices.“

“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“

“My favorites include deep dish pizza, chicken salad sub, roast beef sub, and spinach pie.“

“I had a great experience at Cava, and a big part of that was thanks to the manager, Dan. He was incredibly kind, efficient, and genuinely welcoming. Dan made sure everything ran smoothly and took the time to make everyone feel comfortable and taken care of. It’s rare to find that level of professionalism paired with such a positive attitude. Highly recommend!“
