50 Best Salad Restaurants near Kensington

“Monday night burger special! Even more of a treat is the Monday night speghetti and meatball special. The dish is really tasty, pasta cooked perfectly, meatballs (3) were tastes of every italian spice and meat without being overly spicey. I only wish they offered the steamed vegy and shrimp dish the Rockville location offered. Us girls have to watch our waistline! :) Thank you for opening where we needed a happy place to land with great servers to put a cherry on top!“

“I have always been a big fan of this restaurant and go there frequently. However, today I ordered the P.E.I. mussels, which were absolutely terrible. The mussels were barely warm and the broth was undescribably unappetizing - also barely warm with grease floating to the top. As usual, the staff were really friendly, welcoming and very efficient. Just a bad day, I guess!“

“Nice atmosphere. Music is nice and not too loud. Comfortable seating.

Food is amazingly good! I got a Classic Smashburger and was floored by the flavor. Just be sure to use napkins The fries are fantastic and normally I hate waffle fries but these were some of the best fries I've had in a while. The sauces that came with it were great.

My father got some peri peri chicken (hot) and that was also delicious. No one at the table had anything bad to say about the food.

Dude running the register was super nice and gave us tons of sauces for free. He was very attentive to us and personable.“

“We have a big party in Choyhona on Saturday, March 9th. The tables were set beautifully, salads and kebabs were tasty (most recommend Kutabi with meat). Everything was served in time. Waiters were friendly and efficient. Highly recommend.“

“Our son lives in the area and we have been here 4-5 since January ( every time we visit) The owners are wonderful and the staff very attentive The fish taco appetizer is wonderful ( can be enough for an entree if not wanted a big meal) I’ve had many of the entrees and never a bad meal . The chocolate dessert is my go to“

“This place was amazing and a great choice to stop into. We wanted something quick and easy to eat while being out exploring the city all morning. I had the chicken tinga which was amazing! Not thinking I would like the Kale, still got it anyways and was presently surprised by how amazing it was. We also got the BBQ dish and it was just as good. The staff were quick and efficient while being so friendly. Great place to consider.“

“ERIC is the man! He makes the best salads. My husband comes here about once a week and he is always happy to see Eric working because he does the best salad chopping and makes sure every customer he serves is happy with their bowl. We came in tonight for 3 salads and surprise Eric was working. We hope everyone gets to experience a salad made by Eric we appreciate him more than he knows.“

“I came here during my lunch break on a weekday. All the pizza options were available and I got the buffalo chicken slice. I don't make that much $, but the pricing was totally worth it. ($6 I believe) The pictures don't do it justice, but if you like NY style thin crust with that grease drip, you'll love this. The crust had that dough bubble that I love, and you could hear the crunch echo throughout the cafeteria. I would love to see some gluten-light offerings in the future but for now? A quick bite for good quality? You won't be disappointed.“

“Great food. Enjoyable place to lunch with a friend.“

“Came in on a hot day (July 2025). Loved the noodles, ease of ordering on the monitors and good seating to work thru lunch break. The customer service was 12 out of 10. All the workers were friendly and attentive. They greeted everyone, cleaned up after each guest, and asked every customer how they were doing and if they needed anything. Kudos to the ladies in the kitchen. I do think the AC is broken so it can’t be easy. There were also no bathrooms so I wasn’t able to wash my hands.“

“Ambar's newest location does not disappoint. If you know Ambar, it goes without saying the food is amazing. new offerings on the menu gave me some new favorites to add to my already long list. New cocktails for a new address, yes and thank you! The design esthetic is light and refreshing...And the 2nd floor ceiling is an instagram dream. Easily 5 stars.“

“great customer service, amazing food, great music. went for a girls gathering and had a ball. Really nice server, gurl with medium length red locs.❤️. I had catfish sandwich“

“This is my favorite Chop’t ever. The professionalism and customer service is unmatched and it is always clean and well staffed. The employees are personable, kind, lovely and a joy to converse with every time I come in. This is one of the best run Chop’s I’ve seen. They are doing a fantastic job!“

“Friendly staff -great food !“

“We visited DC this weekend from NC. I went to DC Vegan with my non-vegan husband. Two days later he's still raving about the chick'n cutlet club. He said it was the best "chicken" sandwich he ever had and I can't convince him it was actually vegan 😆 Well done friends 👏👏 I had the artichoke bowl which was fantastic and the cheesecake is to die for! Wish we could have stayed in DC longer as I would have loved to try the other menu items.“

“I had visited a Chopt once before, but my recent visit truly stood out. This particular location is one of the cleanest and friendliest I have encountered.

I received a warm welcome from the staff, and I was impressed by the expanded menu offerings, especially the addition of steak and salmon. Carlos, one of the managers, recommended the Southwestern Steak Salad with avocado and a blend of chipotle ranch and Mexican Goddess dressing. It was absolutely delicious!

Despite it being a busy lunch and seemingly fewer employees working, Carlos took the time to provide recommendations, and his suggestion was perfect. I will definitely be returning.

Great job, team!“

“But i wish they gave you least 6 toppings free!!!!“

“When I was a kid I hated their chicken..i don't think meat should be sweet...THESE GUYS ARE FIGHTING FOR THEIR COME BACK..MANNNN CHICKEN SO GOOD MAKE U WAN SLAP UR GRANDMA.. I will be back!“

“I've been a happy customer at the Courthouse location for 5 years. The staff are super nice and caring! The food is always delicious and prepared beautifully..recommend the falafel bowl, tofu salad, Greek yogurt items, smoothies, avocado toast, soup, and cookies. Very fresh ingredients.

Dietary restrictions: There are many healthy vegetarian options..none of the super processed mock meats are offered. Some of the side items are a huge portion too. Salads that have meat or dairy could be modified easily with vegetarian or vegan options. Vegan soup option is fantastic.“

“The food is fresh and tastes great. The ambiance is relaxed. The music is knit too loud and good for conversations. The staff is courteous. This is a great place for a meet up for families, kids, friends and individuals.“

“We stopped in for lunch after my Daughter's Gymnastics Competition this morning! The staff were Awesome! She was still in her gear and medals from the Competition and everyone was saying congratulations to her! This absolutely made my 9 year olds day even more special, when they brought her a tray with desert and congratulations on your great day written on the paper! I am glad we stopped in on the way home to Virginia! Thank you all! oh the deserts were great!“

“Fíjate de aquí trabajan hispanos y un joven de color… Lo cual no me interesa su piel… Solo que esta es segunda vez que llego aquí la primera me entrega con la sopa la orilla del pan… Hoy llego de nuevo y le digo que ponga extra pan y pone la orilla otra vez… Oye cuando miro eso… Me pare le dije que que ondas Yo estoy pagando y si el le diera la orilla del boño del pan a su familia o una persona de piel clara… Estas personas de una manera o otra No tiene la calidad para dar un buen servicio al cliente… No importando la clase de color que tenemos cada ser humano.. Usted le pone la calificación que usted le guste… NO VOY CON EL RACISMO ODIO EL RACISMO… MR. NICE. ESO DIJO QUE ERA MR NICE? CUIDADO 🤮“

“A friend treated me to birthday dinner at Rosemary’s. Neither of us had been before and we were so happy to discover it. Start to finish every morsel was fresh, tasty and beautifully presented. We will be back!“

“Great place for drinks and food, a good girls night or wine night or relaxing evening for 30s and up! Great ambience and darker lighting sets a good mood and atmosphere. Love it here and continue to bring friends to enjoy the gem close to DuPont!“

“they had a really hot guy working there with a little bracelet on what is his name but overall good food.“

“I’ve visited this location multiple times and every time I do they’re extremely hospitable and energetic. I’ve always received amazing service from every staff member I’ve interacted with and definitely recommend trying this Chopt if you haven’t yet… shoutout to Sessle and the crew! (Apologies in advance if I misspelled your name boss man)“

“I regularly come to this location as it's close to my home. But tonight I was given exceptional service by both the manager Carlos and his employee David. I went to an event earlier that was serving food but I came too late to be served, once the event was over, I came to cava during its closing minutes hoping it was not too late. I explained to David my situation, he checked in with Carlos to make sure that I just met the buzzer, and they graciously took care of me. They need to be rewarded for generosity!“

“great happy hour until 7pm“

“This would be my second time at Huncho House and it has not disappointed! I shared the wagyu cheesesteak eggrolls and charbroiled oysters with my wife followed by the seared sea scallops as my entree while my wife had the jerk short ribs. Overall 10/10 and the customer service was amazing.“

“I wish this was my neighborhood coffee. The staff are so lovely. One refilled my personal water bottle for me.

Also the food is delicious, there’s good variety and the seating is comfy. My only complaint is the water faucets were really hot last time I visited but maybe that was a fluke.

Ugh, I may need to move to Columbia Heights so I can visit more often.“

“Please bring back the family meal!!!“

“La comida deliciosa, pero los empleados no están bien adiestrados para el servicio al cliente The food is delicious, but the employees are not well trained in customer service.“

“I came in one evening for lunch and I grabbed the new salmon bowl and it was a delicious healthy bowl that I had. I went to the gym after and even felt amazing. There’s definitely a difference on what type of food you put in your system especially for a workout And this restaurant provides that fast pace, fresh healthy food, and most importantly, most generous, polite, and patient service loved it.“

“First time at this location - everything was very clean and straightforward. The person helping me make the salad was so nice and funny. She even helped make recommendations on what she liked which really made the salad I got at the end super tasty!“

“I love M2M, low prices and great eats.. the salad bar is outstanding. Great customer service and very clean.. You can eat inside or outside. 5 Stars PLUS“

“I'm so glad I discovered this place while walking from the Textile Museum to the Renwick. Lots of lunch choices from soup to salads and sandwiches. My Parmesan Chicken Salad Sandwich ($10.50) delicious. The small Devon Salad ($4.50) and Iced Passion Fruit Tea ($4.00) completed a very good, reasonably priced, quick lunch.“

“Our second full day in DC and this was our second stop at this location for lunch. My wife and I both had a craving for a gyro. We both got beef gyros. They were both delicious. The pita was full of meat, sauce, lettuce, tomato and onions. Overall, it was a great lunch“

“Me and my partner had shnitzels and a fish platter. They tasted great, especially the shnitzel. The potato salad came with a lingonberry jam which a great surprise and we loved it. Although the portions were on the smaller side, they gave us free pastries before leaving which was very kind. Some of the tables for two are a bit small and you almost worry things would topple over, but other than that, it was a cute place“

“The Saigon Chicken Bahn Mi is definitely one of the better destination salads ive had in while. It's absolutely delicious.“

“I go here 2 to 4 times a month at least. I really enjoy the fresh ingredients and choices.“

“Visited over the weekend, service was outstanding! They were so helpful and friendly, guiding us through ordering and making recommendations. The food was too-notch! Bright and refreshing, and with LOTS of flavor! I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for something fresh and new!“

“Everything so delicious here. Feel like I am in Thailand. อร่อยทุกอย่างเลยค่ะ เหมือนอยู่เมืองไทย ขอบคุณพี่ไก่ ที่พามาทานค่ะ ❤️“

“Stumbled upon this spot and am so glad I did! After our first time here, my boyfriend and I liked it so much that we came back five days later. Not only does it have great beer and a very cool dive-bar-vibe, but it is so wonderful that literally every item on the menu can be made vegan, with a huge selection of meat alternatives and yummy vegan cheeses (there's also a create-your-own section!) The side of chickpeas is also INCREDIBLE - a definite fave of both mine and my boyfriend (non-vegan). Updated from previous review on 2019-03-07“
