43 Best Salad Restaurants near Maplewood

“I really enjoy going to Olive Garden. Their never ending soup, salad, and breadsticks are my favorite, especially the chicken gnocchi soup. It’s always so good and one of the main reasons I keep coming back.
They also have some really good main dishes, and I like trying something new when I go. The service is always great, and the staff is welcoming and attentive. It’s a perfect spot for a small group of people, but it also works really well for larger groups getting together for dinner or lunch.“

“8-13-25 @9pm
They got my order wrong. I asked to upgrade to mac&cheese from french fries for the #1 meal. I got to the window, recieved the food, went through the bag and realized they gave me fries and no mac.
I kindly told the girl at the window ( Who never repeated my order back to me, just asked for my name) and she proceeded to roll her eyes at me. She ( being annoyed) asked for my food back ( which CFA is never supposed to do) She called some younger guy in the blue striped polo over, he said to take the fries out of my bag and throw them away. ( I guess they thought I was trying to pull one over on them? not sure. Usually they just keep them in the bag)
Instead of grabbing a napkin or a glove, she sticks her hand in my bag of food and pulls out the fries, and sticks the bag of food back out of the window to give to me. I'm sorry, im really not picky usually, but money is disgusting. On top of that, you're touching the window and everything else.
There was 3 cars behind me in line.....
This is the only store I CONSISTANTLY have to ask for my sauces because they never get it right.
I was a store manager for 2 1/2 years at a CFA in Maryland. I get it, I know how it can be. But I also know that- that job... is not THAT hard.
And to get annoyed at me because your order taker didnt input the meal correctly? I'm sorry, but thats completely innapropriate and I had to write a review on here.

Mangement needs to really improve the night shift workers there because I'm starting to get really tired of constantly feeling like I'm being a problem whenever I remind them they forgot something that I asked for.

I do not mean to go on a rant but CFA is better than this. WAY better. And I will try to make sure that the management at that CFA see's me. I am more than willing to speak to management there.“

“It’s one of my favorite fast, healthy places to eat!“

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

“@punchpizza is one of my go to comfort foods. For the good times and the tough times, grabbing a pizza from Punch always does the trick.

Obviously folks know about this place but I still want to highlight them because longtime fan. Fun fact, each location has hidden cat figurines in their restaurants. Generally in the ceilings. My stop tonight was at my local St. Paul location. They have a whopping 12 locations in MN all listed in one of the last photos.

My go to order that won my heart:
Toto (no crushed red pepper, add roasted red pepper)
side of olive oil

Honorable mentions
Punch Salad
Bruni (meat and onion featured in post)
Gorgonzola Salad

When in doubt of what to get, go to Punch. For more awesome food spots check out the account mallorymademetryitmn on Instagram!“

“Love, love, love! Date night, family dinners! One stop shop! St Paul historical restaraunt! Atmosphere is welcoming and staff is helpful.They cater to their customers and make sure your needs are met. 3 levels. Best Fresh & Authentic Pasta Pizza, Canoli and tiramasu ever! Enjoy Everytime we Go!“

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

“HEADS UP VEGETARIANS!!! If you order a plain cheese pizza with wild rice on it, or a "hog in the bog with no sausage", the wild rice still has sausage mixed in. I have no idea why. It's not indicated as such on the website and several employees *do not know* that the wild rice comes with sausage mixed in and cannot be included separately as vegetarian. This is my one and only complaint and it breaks my heart because everything else is awesome but this lack of communication around seemingly vegetarian-safe ingredients is quite frankly a health risk.“

“The hotel 🏨 was amazing 👏 from the moment we entered till we left“

“My family and I dined in for the first time and there is nothing to complain about... Hot Dagos, wings, and pizza are all excellent. We will definitely be back for more delicious food! 👌“

“The food and atmosphere was absolutely awesome. Everything we tried had so much flavor. You also get so much food for what you pay for, and it’s worth every penny. Will be showing it off to family and friends!“

“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.“

“Food was great. Ordered 10 pizzas do grandsons birthday party and was all good.“

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

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

“The pizza is always perfect. The delivery drivers are on time and super nice.“

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

“I needed to kill some time before going to the the iihf World juniors hockey tournament and stopped in. I ended up spending most of my time before and after the game there. The food was excellent and Melissa the bartender made the experience wonderful. Very friendly atmosphere and the drinks are poured well and come out fast. Highly recommend to anyone going to anyone looking for a place to go before the game.“

“The best food in the entire country! I’m honestly at a loss for words because the experience is that remarkable. There’s truly no pizza like Punch—every bite is a perfect balance of crispy crust, fresh ingredients, and rich, authentic flavor that transports you straight to Italy. From the moment you walk in, the aroma alone tells you you’re in for something special. The service is warm and welcoming, the atmosphere is lively yet cozy, and every dish showcases a level of care and craftsmanship that’s hard to find. If you’re looking for the ultimate pizza experience, Punch is second to none.“

“It has a great patio, great food (I had wings), excellent beers. We sat outside and the place was packed both inside and out. Staff was busy for sure.
When sitting at the bar and when not at the bar it is great but durring peak times (aka diner rush) it can slow down due to being super busy. So just remember that everyone is important and they will get to you. So have some good conversation lined up if you go durring peak time.“

“Great food good ambiance! Awesome staff !“

“Absolutely amazing! Yum 😋 the food I can't wait to go back!“

“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 job! We had the pineapple rice with pork, red curry with chicken, lo mein with shrimp and some apps - fantastic!“

“excelente lugar y atención“

“Management is amazing! The staff is very friendly and the salads hit the spot. So hard just to choose one. Yum yum. 🥗“

“The food and awesome atmosphere never changes (and that's a good thing) but this most recent visit also featured the BEST customer service. From what we experienced and what we observed, every stranger is treated like a friend. It was rare and wonderful feeling!“

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

“Family stopped here on the way to a hockey game in the cities. We experienced some of the best service you could expect from the team on staff. Henry was amazing and quick with our order while we were in drive-thru. Josh W. was very professional, made great small talk, wished us luck at the hockey game and was very quick with changing out our drink order. The team was great and went above and beyond our expectations for a late lunch. Highly recommend this Chick-Fil-a to anyone going through Woodbury, MN. Great workers and customer oriented, we would go back anytime.“

“Extremely polite, and customer service driven! Talk about fast and efficient! For restaurants (especially) it can be difficult to provide both services simultaneously, without sacrificing the quality and taste of the food, but they manage to pull it off beautifully and score a 5 STAR rating!
Thank you!“

“the food is always good and the staff are always nice. the restaurant was clean and friendly. always love eating there“

“I actually really like chick fil a for their breakfast chicken biscuit with egg and cheese, it's very tasty and the biscuit itself is delicious, however I went thru the drive thru and ordered 2 chicken breakfast biscuits with egg and cheese, so imagine my surprise when I got home and handed my daughter a biscuit and neither biscuit had chicken, which of course I paid for. I did call the store and was told she would put 2 free chicken breakfast biscuits on the app for me, which either never happened or I don't know how to find them. No one has time to sit and open each item to be sure you've received everything you've paid for, but I guess if I want that delicious breakfast chicken biscuit with fluffy egg and cheese, it's what I'll have to do. Stay alert!“

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

“Have been coming here for years and the quality of food and service has remained amazing. Even when the store is busy the staff always makes sure you are taken care of. Shoutout to Lena, The man in the orange shirt and the girl with the red hair for always having a great attitude.“

“just make sure your soup is hot and not like it just came out of the can. :(“

“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“

“All comments noted above!, a favorite!“

“customer service has always been great especially after a delivery issue. They apologize and fix the issue.“

“No I don't not recommend them, When someone came in with a homeless woman to buy her a meal they put her outside to wait. Disgraceful, smh. Do better“

“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.“
