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!“

“The staff at Santa Fe Melrose was very kind and accommodating for our dance team fundraiser last week. Thank you so much! Our family also frequently orders from here. The food and drinks are great!“

“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“

“Just ordered some yummy chicken bowl AMAZING! Hands down the best food I’ve had in a while!“

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

“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!“

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

“Went and got dinner here last week after the Red Sox game on June 26th and had a pleasant experience, I ordered at the kiosk which was very quick and efficient as always.

The food was great I got my usual spicy garlic chicken and then a honey bar dessert and it was all delicious. The service was also great as a whole too, the store was clean. They have nice seating inside and outside, I ended up eating outside because it was nice out. Will definitely come back again in the future if I’m ever in the area.“

“I write reviews all the time, and I visit a lot of restaurants, so I’m not easily impressed. But this place truly deserves every one of these five stars.
I normally don’t like restaurant pizza and hadn’t eaten pizza in over a year because I could never find one that I genuinely enjoyed. Then today I tried the O’ Cheese Parm Pizza here, and wow—I finally found a pizza I absolutely love! The onion rings were incredible too.
What impressed me even more was the service. Every employee was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. You can teach people how to serve food, but you can’t teach genuine kindness—and this place has it.
The food was amazing, but honestly, even if it hadn’t been, the outstanding customer service alone would make me want to come back. That’s how good the staff are.
This restaurant has earned a loyal customer. I can’t wait to come back!“

“What an amazing place! The portions here are soooo big I loved every bite. The cheesy ramen is delicious and the yuzu one is super refreshing also delicious. The roll was incredible and very fresh salmon bowl also looked incredible, they serve it with miso. Prices are also super reasonable for the quality.“

“Grilled Clams make it so worthwhile“

“Awesome pizza.. huge slice“

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

“I had noodle dishes from there before and loved them. I opted for a salad last time and while the rest of the ingredients were fresh, the chicken was not up to snuff. It supposed to be “roasted” according to the menu, but it looked more like pale, unseasoned and boiled chunks. Not especially appealing.“

“Everything you could want for breakfast &/or lunch. The fresh salad bar - build your own - is awesome, hard to find these days. The lunch bowls were excellent, with perfect rice, sides of chapchae noodles and stir fry veggies. Delicious egg sandwiches, too. We found the bulgogi/beef teriyaki a bit sweet, but overall delicious and perfectly seasoned. The bowl/plate is also nicely seasoned w/sesame & green onion garnish plus the delicious sides. Other sandwich & panini options look great, too, but we always crave the rice bowls. Also the food is always freshly made. Beware during lunch rush hour. Mid-late afternoon is best. We often take away for dinner. Like all good sauces, the flavors improve! The place has table & counter space to dine in, is bright & cute, coffee is delicious and service is excellent. You will want to return!“

“tasty! fresh and quick. friendly staff“

“Perfect little sub shop in Backbay. We opted for the Italian Sub to go. The atmosphere was awesome with a lot of locals getting what seemed to be a regular daily lunch meal. The staff and customers seemed to know each other and a sense of community was ever so prevalent. The food itself was outstanding, even after a 5 hour train ride it traveled with us to ur next stop. Highly recommend this place. Truly a diamond in the rough.“

“Here’s a polished review you can post:

Tried Pokeworks at Quincy Market in Boston and honestly wish I found this place sooner! The market itself was super crowded and a bit overstimulating on a Saturday night, and the location was slightly hard to find because it was packed with people — but that’s definitely more about Quincy Market being busy than the restaurant itself.

I did a collect order and highly recommend doing that because my food was ready straight away with no waiting around. The portions were EXTREMELY generous and definitely good value for money. I got the poke salad bowl with tuna and prawns and added literally every topping possible (which was great because there were so many included at no extra cost). Everything tasted fresh and filling, and I was seriously impressed by how much food I got.

Left feeling very full and very satisfied. Would absolutely go back again!“

“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“

“Food was great as usual. Sometimes an ingredient doesn’t show up (like mandarin oranges last night) but the flavors are great. The price is reasonable. Customization options are plentiful. Only problem last night was it took more than an hour to be delivered and we live 5 minutes away. (And no, we couldn’t get to the restaurant).“

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

“Awesome We always happy with everything“

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

“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.“

“The delivery is always speedy and the steak tips NEVER disappoint. So good🤤🤤🤤“

“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.“

“For YEARS I have been searching for elite pizza in JP. While Tonino is amazing, and make a great pie, they are an Italian restaurant. THIS IS A PIZZA PLACE! Hands down, the best pizza in JP. Pull out your wallet and support these guys, so we can all have elite pizza in our neighborhood!!“

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

“Nice space, attentive and friendly team and great food. Highly recommend.“

“Healthy and delicious salads and pasta options, combined with fast service even during the lunch rush, make this one of my favorite spots in the Seaport. The staff is always friendly, and Candy is especially amazing. If you are a regular, she will definitely recognize you and greet you with a warm smile while delivering your food.

There is plenty of indoor seating to enjoy your meal, but during the summer, I highly recommend grabbing your lunch and taking the short two minute walk to the ICA stairs. It is a perfect spot to enjoy your food while overlooking the beautiful Seaport waterfront.“

“If you are looking for outstanding authentic Egyptian food please try Kushari. The food made to order is consistently delicious and service is over the top. Plenty of free parking is another bonus!“

“Amazing find - not far from TD Gardens. Just a few small tables inside, but well worth sitting in and enjoying the delicious brick-oven pizza fresh from the oven. Also had a cappuccino and a cannoli - both great! Highly recommend!“

“I just want to start off by saying that this was the best Indian food that I have tried in a long time. We ordered the Kashmiri Goat Madras which came with rice and we also got garlic naan. Let me just say it was devoured within seconds, it was that good. 10/10 recommend! The service was really nice, all the workers were also very welcoming. They even gave us a complimentary Gulab jamun dessert which was also delicious!!“

“Love Tu y Yo in Somerville but quite a drive for us. This has the same owners and much of the same menu and is much closer. This restaurant was wonderful! My favorites are the cactus salad, the tamales, plantains, and birria tacos. Mole wasn't my favorite, and pozole was good but a bit salty. Staff were really friendly and welcoming! Definitely looking forward to coming back!“

“Hi , I went for lunch and Jesus Morales was a very friendly employee he greet me and serve me well his a good customer service person .“

“This place is amazing. My new favorite food joint.“

“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!!!“

“You can’t go wrong with anything you order from them! Everything is fresh and the owner is a great guy.“

“Great service, kind staff, good food - we enjoy coming to a cava when in the area. Bathroom and sitting area could have used some much needed maintenance.
Might be best for walking, Lyft, or bike - as parking on a Sunday can get difficult to find.“

“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“

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

“Went after two different long ski days and have never been so satisfied with a ramen dining experience. Two Sunday evenings, one no wait but the place was full. And one with only the quickest 10 minute wait

The atmosphere is bright yet cozy, but no like overwhelming intimate. All of the staff were pleasant and attentive. And ofc the soup was delicious! I never finish ramen + I could’ve had 2nds.“

“We placed a big order for my son’s first birthday party this past weekend and we were so happy with both the food and great service. We called the night before because we weren’t sure if we had ordered enough and the owner answered the phone and was happy and quick to assist us. We already loved the food, but it’s nice knowing that the owner and the staff care so much about what they do and their customers. We will happily continue to order food from here!“

“great service and quality of food. the salads mac and cheese,chicken and ice cream are delicious. manager Heather helped me buy a gift card in drive-thru. then when order was delayed she delivered our meal and complimentary ice creams! so wonderful and hospitable. we will be back soon!“

“Delicious seafood options and fresh oysters!“
