18 Best Salad Restaurants in Columbia

“Hubby and I enjoy the salads from here. They have standard salads but you can also customize them. As well, the employees who work there are always nice and helpful.“

“I love this place!!! The food is so fresh, simple and tasty and service is always kind and fast ❤️❤️❤️“

“I just want to give a shout out to the N&C on Dobbin in Columbia. They made the BEST Penne Rosa I have ever had. All my veggie substitutions were correct and they were so fresh and delicious. My online order wasn’t ready when I arrived and the nice guy behind the counter gave me a free soda since I had to wait a few mins. It was just a lovely experience and delicious food. Thank you :)“

“I ordered catering from Big Greek Cafe for my son’s baptism. The food was amazing, and my family and friends could not stop complimenting the spread. Petros and his staff were such a pleasure to work with. Fresh food and quality customer service!“

“Our three children and their godparents (our best friends) dined at Shi Miao Dao Noodle House to celebrate my daughter's 14th birthday yesterday. Every dish served was packed with flavor. After dinner, I mentioned that we were celebrating my daughter's birthday and they gave her a complimentary bubble tea. As we were walking out, my son ran back to the table to take two more large bites from his bowl of noodles. This morning, he asked if we could go back for lunch today! When I told my children I was writing a five-star review they shared the following reflections:

Son, age 9: I recommend the golden beef noodles. You should also get the shrimp and beef soup dumplings! Their service was awesome and fast!

Daughter, age 12: I would recommend the golden shrimp rice noodles. It's great if you can't handle a lot of spice and if you like shrimp. I would also say that the soup dumplings are the best I have ever had. The service is spectacular. This is place is the best!

Birthday girl: Thank you for making my birthday so wonderful!“

“My first time there but food was delicious“

“Huntington Deli is great. It’s a hidden gem. The owner’s great you will a smile every time and remember your name if you’ve been in before. The food is fresh and delicious. Breakfast is my favorite to get there but lunch/dinner is just as good. If you are in the area, stop by and check it out.“

“Very nice, with a lot to choose from on their menu. The help was nice as well. Definitely will go back again, the food was great also. 😁“

“After visiting countless Chick-fil-A locations, I finally found one that got my order perfectly right! Not only was the service fantastic, but I didn’t have to go back because they forgot my pickles (which has happened way too many times!). It’s so refreshing to find a spot that gets it right every time. Huge thanks to the employee who provided such great customer service. I’ll definitely be returning to this location!“

“The food is delicious and the portions are enormous. I got a bowl with brown stew chicken, rice n peas, and plantains. It's enough food for multiple meals (for me). I just wish I'd asked for a bit more brown gravy!“

““When you are here, you are family”, the old logo retired in 2012. As I entered the restaurant I was told to follow the hostess, an older person that seemed stressed out, and they sat us by the sunny window (4:00 pm). I quickly asked if we could sit in a booth where then sun was not in our eyes. The hostess quickly moved the napkins to the table that was not a window but was not a booth either, then walked off. In my mind I’m thinking, it’s okay, at least the sun is not in my face anymore. I asked someone if they had the never ending pasta deal. They sarcastically replied: “Well yeah, it just started Monday!” I just laughed. I’m thinking why are people so unhappy or stressed out here? I just asked a question. Just answer with a yes or a no please. When someone requests a different table it would be nice if the hostess politely asks, “where would you like to sit?” I was well aware that that logo was retired: Not being treated like family here lol..!! I noticed a family of four (two of them in their 80’s) was being asked to sit super far away from the entrance. The couple’s son asked if there was a closer table as his parents were having a hard time to get to the table using canes. Those are just minor things. Businesses that have politeness and friendliness usually stay in customer’s hearts. Remember that I am giving you a point of you of my experience on that Friday around 4 pm. I am not criticizing or giving this restaurant a hard time. I also want the reader to have this in mind and tell the hostess where the reader would like to sit. We ordered the never ending pasta with a protein. The food was great. The Shrimp Fritto Misto appetizer, the Spaghetti with Meat Sauce, the Chicken and Gnocchi soup, and the garlic bread all were excellent. My waiter did forget to bring me my soup. After my second and final bowl of pasta I asked her if I could have my soup. Her response was that we had all ready had salad and that we could not get both. I responded that I never had salad or soup. Our waiter looked puzzled. I told her well did you write our order down? She immediately said: “oh yes, I’m sorry, I’ll bring it out immediately.” Like I said, I am not criticizing but do sympathize with the workers as it seems that management has these workers under lots of stress. There should be happiness among workers and that will convert to an amazing level of service and a great atmosphere for the best Italian meal. I chose not to complaint when management came out asking all of the tables if their food was hot and good. It shows that management wants to show good quality control. The hot meal is part of the experience. We chose coffee for our drinks. Our first coffee was warm and it quickly turned colder when we added the cold creamer. You tend to drink coffee faster when you drink cold coffee. When our waitress said I will get you more coffee and noticed we needed more creamer she said: “oh you like more cream… looks a like you drank creamer with coffee instead of coffee and creamer.” I have lots of patience and just smiled but I ask you: is that comment necessary? Whether it is a joke or not I believe a waitress should be on top of things to her best gratuity as possible. She still got 20% from us ($24 out of bill $112). I want you to know that while we ate we ordered a Large Pan Lasagna to go for like $65, good size for the price. The food was great! I will definitely come back soon as I loved the food here. I thank the unseen team members, like the cooks, that make this place a great place for a great meal. I encourage you to come to this Olive Garden in Colombia, Maryland and enjoy the great tastes this restaurant has to offer. I explain how my experience went down so that if you have a similar experience you too can practice your patience and understanding with the knowing that your tummy will be happy!!! Everything else that happened is like they say: “Water off a duck’s back”!!! Stay blessed!“

“me encanto el sándwich y la sopa y el personal muy amable“

“My order was made fresh because it was a pretty big one. Everything was flavorful. I tried the chicken tenders, regular chicken, fried shrimp, Mac and cheese, honey butter and blueberry biscuit. I would recommend the tenders with blueberry biscuits. The only negative thing was the biscuits were very dry but I’ll chalk that up to getting food later in the day.“

“There’s so many good options on the menu it’s hard to pick. Everything is so delicious! Great cocktails!“

“It was first time we came here. We got “Combo 2” which comes with Rice, Salad, Tzatziki sauce, beef kabob and chicken. You can do half salad half rice or you can choose either rice and salad itself. We did half and half. Chicken was good. It was cooked well and fresh. Beef kabob was good too but I wouldn’t say it is the best kabob I’ve ever eaten. It was a little chewy but not too much. Salad was mostly lettuce. My wife found only two small feta pieces in her salad. I got nothing. French Fries omg that was soo good. I didn’t expect that! Fresh and tasty! Portions are very much big enough. Service was kind. Overall, it was good experience for a mall’s food court. Definitely better than fast food chains in that food court.“

“The morning crew is outstanding. They are so pleasant and provide excellent service every visit. Shout out to Robin who makes my day when I see her.“

“I have visited this shop twice and I am extremely satisfied with the service and the food was exceptional. I had no idea that they actually made fresh croutons for the salad so if I could give it more than five stars I would. Take this review seriously as I am the pickiest person you will ever meet. I got the Mediterranean salad and the staff had no problem using a new set of gloves as I have allergies. Delicious to the max. BTW if I had any more room I would have tried the Pumpkin cookie again it is excellent. I will be back. Thank you“

“I ordered a meal at the Columbia (Dobbin Rd) restaurant for curbside. When I got there and parked. Before I could even put the parking space number in the app, 2 lovely young ladies were already bringing my food out! Talk about going above and beyond.“
