50 Best Salad Restaurants near Potomac

“I came here after hiking Great Falls, I’m from NC and I’m not used to such a great dining experience!“

“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!“

“I’ve visited several locations, and today I stopped in for dinner with friends while working in the area. The service we received was outstanding—truly top-notch. I believe the team members assisting us were Bellinda and Guisela, and they were both exceptional. I’ll definitely be returning the next time I’m in the area.“

“We really enjoyed our dine-in meal of: Thai green curry with shrimp, Szechuan green beans, Triple delight and pan fried noodles with shrimp. Everything was delicious! The new decor is lovely and the staff are very welcoming. Looking forward to trying the home-made dumplings next time.“

“It was chill, cool vibe. Me and my husband enjoyed the food and service.“

“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.“

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

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

“10 out of ten would recommend my server Alexis was amazing definitely having to come again“

“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.“

“Delish! We need one of these in Hampton Roads! Their staff was super friendly and helpful!“

“James who took my order was beyond helpful welcome me in while I was waiting in line greeting me with a big smile broke down the menu completely explain the differences as it was my first time I heard about it. Great conversation food was made fresh one of the cooks walked to another guest Eden and asked how it was drove all the way here from Norfolk, Virginia you can see the picture of the tacos are loaded, which you don’t get from down comes from let me try to tzatziki sauce to see if I like it before getting it on the side“

“I like Chopt salads and especially like the kiosks in this location. It greatly speeds up getting your order.

My only complaint is that they need to stop letting homeless people come in and sleep at the tables. A woman was asleep at a table for over half an hour without buying anything. Nobody said anything while paying customers had nowhere to sit.“

“Excellent place. The falafel wrap was outstanding chock full of falafel with the requisite salad, hummus and tehini. Even better when you add some hot pepper mix for a little spice. Spouse enjoyed the falafel platter which included a side of pita. Their fries were great, very crunchy. Their food is very authentic to various middle eastern countries that I have visited. The place is comfy, booths and a few tables. Service was quick and excellent. The owner is Palestinian and surely deserves our support. We highly recommend!“

“Friendly staff -great food !“

“Friendly staff, very creative menu, no too big just the way I like it. Highly recommended“

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!“

“Tried the Chesapeake Bay Crab Stir Fry , it was really good but I recommend ordering it with extra old bay broth“

“Exceptionally great customer service, Attentive workers that were very engaging And excited about the salads they make and serve. I have nothing but good things to say about this experience. The girl with the Big red glasses was especially great. I really wish I remembered her name. She had a really good presence about her. Absolutely recommend you visit.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Wonderful service and excellent food. I wanted a NY Strip Steak and I got one - grilled perfectly. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her grilled salmon and my daughter - 10 years old and very picky - was treated respectfully and was well- accommodated. Highly recommended.“

“The staff is very friendly great place to just have some family time and enjoy great food“

“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.“

“Just checked in for our anniversary weekend. Amazing staff and the Executive King Room with M Club is a must! Started with the Mr. Tyson for me and Captain and Dr. Pepper for the wife!“

“I don’t know where to even begin! This was by far the best experience I’ve had at any restaurant in a long time! Went to celebrate my father’s birthday with my siblings, son, niece and nephew and everybody was pleased. We had the pleasure of having Andrea as our server and when I say she went above and beyond for our group, I’m putting it lightly. Andrea literally took care of us in every way possible making our time there extremely pleasurable!! Believe me when I say, next time I go there, I am asking for her personally lol. Andrea…thank you for your wonderful and amazing hospitality and I look forward to next time!!“

“I have eaten here thrice before. with my colleagues. I ordered the basil fried rice with vegetable and chicken. It was bursting with fresh flavors and wonderfully intense spiciness. Everything is so clean, and the staff is friendly and efficient! We were the last ones to leave and never felt rushed or like we were being a nuisance to the staff. I had a third, wonderful experience and i highly recommend it!“

“Bimbimbap has always been my favorite Korean dish, especially when I became vegetarian. Great selection of toppings much more than a typical bimbimbap would have. I did a pick your own and layered in everything that caught my fancy, including the potato noodles halfsies. Service was adequate. Portions were good and ingredients seemed fresh. Of course my sauce was gochujang. OK value, tasty, it's like a Mediterranean bowl Korean style. Lots of seating, Sat upstairs. Not very crowded on a Thursday night, unlike the rest of this happening shopping venue.“

“I love a great pizza and what I ordered was such a well made meal that I found a nice niche spot! It's intimate but lovely energy! The food was delicious! And I shared it and they liked them both. Great price and the size and taste was worth the buck for sure! 5 starrsssssssssss :)“

“Truly, THE best BLT and Bahn Mi we've ever had!! Adorable decor, too!“

“Pupatella is a great spot for delicious food! Order the cannolis. The zesty lemon flavor with the creamy ricotta and salty pistachios was to die for! I’m ordering them to get delivered to my hotel for the second day in a row. The shells are yummy as well. Great place- good people- wonderful food. ☺️♥️“

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

“CAVA Ballston has quickly become one of my go-to spots—not just for the delicious and healthy food, but for the amazing service as well! Being on a keto diet, I truly appreciate the variety of fresh, nutritious options that perfectly align with my lifestyle.

Every visit is a great experience thanks to the friendly and welcoming staff. Big shoutout to Rosa, Gustavo, and Angie—they’re always smiling, courteous, and go above and beyond to make sure my meal is just the way I like it. Service is quick, and the team makes me feel like a valued guest every single time.

The location is clean and inviting, from the spotless restrooms to the well-kept tables. And on a hot day, nothing beats the refreshing selection at their fountain drink station—so satisfying!

If you’re looking for great food, friendly faces, and a clean, safe spot to dine—CAVA Ballston is it. Highly recommended!“

“First time dining in there was a $10 off coupon! Service was great, pizza was even better. Might have been the best pizza I’ve had.. thin, crispy, fresh ingredients, and a light crust that’s easy to scarf down. The Special and Meatball Ricotta were fantastic!!“

“Love the concept, and the options. It’s always what you make it!“

“Please bring back the family meal!!!“

“I had the local strawberry and watermelon salad and it was the most original and delicious thing I've eaten all summer. Combines sweet and juicy with crunchy and savory, with a great house-made dressing. I wish I'd tried this place sooner.“

“First visit today for my birthday lunch and loved the vibe and the food!“

“The best Italian food in the DMV!!!!“

“Great find! Really enjoyed dinner here on a cold day after visiting the monuments. Will try to come back during warm times as they open up their room with nice outside view/access. Enjoyed good flank steak and mushroom soup with almond pastries and great authentic coffee.“

“Friendly staff and great food!“

“Awesome spot!! Food was very good! We got the brussel sprouts, Mac & Cheese with bacon, tots, Reuben and the Jalapeño burger. I wish the Mac & Cheese had that cheesy gooey ness to it but that’s a personal preference. It was still super good and we ate the whole thing.
The beer list was extensive! I stuck to their Sour selection and dang they were all so good! My friend had a few different drinks but the one that stuck out was the Peach Cider. It tasted like you legit just bit into a Peach!
The whole staff were welcoming and friendly. The bartender, Joe, (I hope I remembered his name correctly) was great!“

“Pleasantly surprised! I am vegan and was a little doubtful about ordering from this shop since there a very little vegan options but due to convenience I took a chance and ordered a side of Hummus and side of couscous and chickpea and to my surprise both were pretty tasty… so much so that I ordered another two orders of the couscous and chickpea. The staff were very so friendly and patient. If I’m ever stuck in the area for work I would definitely go back for more! Also their prices overall are very reasonable.“

“😋Outstanding food! Everything was amazing!“

“The quality of ingredients is consistently high, and the variety of options ensures there's something for everyone. What truly sets this place apart is the exceptional service. The staff is always friendly, helpful, and efficient, making the entire experience a joy. Whether you're a regular or a first-timer, you'll feel welcomed and well taken care of. Highly recommended!“

“Like a Greek Chipotle. Fast service, delicious food, tasty options. Recommend!“

“Is the best Mexican food i ever tried. I used to eat from cava 3 or 2 time a week.
