28 Best Salad Restaurants near Mahtomedi

“The Wildwood Tavern has become one of those neighborhood havens we don’t simply frequent—we genuinely look forward to returning to.

Being only a hop, skip, & a jump away certainly makes it convenient, but convenience alone doesn’t make a place a favorite. It’s the atmosphere, the food, the drinks, the people, and that comfortable neighborhood feeling that makes Wildwood special. There’s something to be said for having a place close to home where you can walk through the door, settle in, and simply enjoy each other’s company.

We have spent enough time here that Wildwood has quietly become part of our little corner of the world—and that means something to us.

Great atmosphere, great people, and a neighborhood tavern that actually feels like a neighborhood tavern. We’ll continue to venture on back…

Some places you visit.

Some places become your place.

The Wildwood Tavern has become one of ours.

“These extraordinary individuals do extraordinary work! They literally bring their customers to tears of joy! ❤️“

“My daughter and son in law visited Sunday, May 25th, 2025. Everything, with the exception of salad and Tour of Italy was awful. I had Create Pasta with Mushroom Sauce. Terrible watery, no flavor. Daughter had Zupa Toscan which was tasteless and watery. Her entree was Chicken Margarita flavorless with many green peppers on top. Such a disappointment for a reputed good eatery.“

“Great little spot,! Service is great super friendly.
The dogs are amazing!

The kids here attract a trendy croud!
Do yourself a favor and stop by and support this local kiddos.
It's a great place.“

“Absolutely incredible salads! I wish I could buy the salad dressing. Top notch.“

“It's been a long time since I've had pizza this good. I highly recommend the Eastside Pizza.“

“I stopped by because I saw that they have papaya salad! It was delicious! One of the best that I had lately. If you like lao style papaya salad, definitely want to get some from here. It's not so sweet or too sour, just enough balance. Their drinks are delicious! I never had lemonade with different favors and you can add toppings! Like what! The owners are super sweet & friendly. The Bami was good. I loved the bread on the bami. I will be back to review their mochi! Love this place!“

“The Bulldog has the best food and drinks, and Melissa is the best server in town.“

“Helping others in need is 💯 in my book, keep up the good work!“

“Brinley put her soul into an avocado piada. I came a little late to pick up my order and was expecting a cooler more soggy piada but I was left speechless tonight. The wrap, chicken, and vegetables were crisp, the sauces perfectly placed with great proportions and the warmth still resonating. She deserves a raise.“

“Great food good ambiance! Awesome staff !“

“I loved it. I got the 3 tacos (asada y chorizo) with rice and beans and it was greattt! Coming from somebody who eats authentic food a lot the tacos were great especially compared to other Mexican restaurants. The restaurant is beautiful and I would come back again!“

“excelente lugar y atención“

“The sandwiches were great and me and wife enjoyed the food. will go back :)“

“I am biased because olive garden is one of my favorites. We customize the Shrimp Alfredo with angel hair pasta and the service is always happy to accommodate. The food was hot. Service was on top of everything actually checking in a few times to see if we needed anything. Always will recommend 👌“

“Food is consistently good, but soup is never hot enough. Salads & sandwiches tasty. Always very chilly in the restaurant - thinking of the employees, I guess. Crowded at lunch time & gets very noisy with nothing on walls to buffer sound, making talking challenging.“

“10/10. Visited on Tuesday 4/21 at lunch time. Right about 12pm... The team working was swamped. They had person after person walk in the door one after the other non-stop for almost an hour straight. They also had a very large catering order they were preparing at the same time, as well as online orders that I could see their printer spitting out.
THEY HANDLED IT BEAUTIFULLY.
I myself work in food service and know how hard it can be to kep your cool when you're in the weeds... The female employee running the line(I think) was phenomenal. She may have been the GM? She kept her cool, but was fast paced and kept the flow going as best she could in the chaos, while simultaneously assisting customers with question AND guiding her team with kindness. If she is not already in a leadership role, she ABSOLUTELY should be! I was not able to get the name of the team members working, but they were ALL amazing and deserve public praise. I will 100% be returning & recommending this location to anyone that will listen.“

“All comments noted above!, a favorite!“

“The Grands love their mac & cheese.“

“Friendly, clean, easy to order, the food (I got an Italian with the works, the sandwiches appear to be about 8 - 10 inches, they toasted it) is quite good, my biggest thing was the music was a tad difficult to hear over to make orders. The perk deal I got, with the buy one/get one (11$ and some change after tax), was also delightful.“

“I really would like to add what a treasure you have in Kimberly … I overheard her conversation about the product as I believe she was coaching Delaney (also very welcoming). She is a star …. I am visiting from NJ and I WISH we had more Sunshine like her personality around …she made my travels feel like home and I had to let her know how important she is in sharing her presence with those who travel through….shes a one of a kind!!! Thank you both Kimberly and Delaney!!!! Congratulations Panera Bread on such an employee.“

“These locations was very fast services and clean restrooms. I had a bit of trouble talking to the casher, she spoke clear but didn't ask me to speak louder, instead she just repeated herself. In the fast food business no one else talking a parrot. She was to shy 🤭. But service was still good.“

“Received a wrong order in my bag (had correct receipt though) when I ordered from door dash. I called the store and they were more than willing to correct the problem and were polite about it despite being very busy (I could hear how much was going on in the background when I called!). I was willing to drive there to get my correct order and they took care of it right away. Kudos to the workers! Always amazing food and received great service today.“

“Love this place staff are very friendly and pleasant. great place to go. smells so divine when you're walking in. Ashley was super great and in control of keeping everthing in place it seemed. Plus Ashley did it with a big smile! great job team. my meal was excellent. I will always come back to this one.“

“Excellent customer service, me & my husband will be back! Great sandwhich & soups!!“

“There's a lot of choices with Subs I find Quiznos quality to be amazing they're always fresh delicious and well made a little on the pricey side but better than the other sub joints and the managers always trying to do his best to give you a good customer service“

“Hadn't been to Noodles and Company in a hot minute, but we decided to go for lunch. I had the linguine fresco and my husband had the Chicken Parmesan bowl. Both of them were very good! I was pleasantly surprised how good mine was. It's not something I would normally order, but I'm glad I tried it. The person who took our order was very friendly and helpful. The restaurant was clean and inviting. I would recommend you check out if you haven't.“

“Try tasting your hot chocolate, can’t really say it taste very good. Too watered down. The tuna sandwiches are good.“
