50 Best Salad Restaurants in Minneapolis

“My husband and I had a splendid lunch date at the Himalayan Restaurant. The seating outdoors is so beautiful and is decorated with many flowers. The atmosphere inside for lunch was quite peaceful, which is my ideal type of restaurant.
We ordered dumplings as an appetizer. My husband enjoyed the extra spicy sauce. I liked the sauce with tomatoes and spices.
The main courses are made to the spice level you prefer. The chicken tikka masala and the mixed curry were absolutely delicious. The naan was seasoned well with garlic and herbs. The white and brown rice were fluffy and cooked perfectly as well.
We are hoping to eat here again soon. Highly recommend!
Thank you!“

And your work with hiring those who find it hard to get jobs after jail or when homeless....As they say Not ALL HEROES wear Capes❣️❣️🦸THANK YOU SO MUCH ❣️❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍“

“Great food and excellent service. The atmosphere needs an overhaul specifically the lighting. tables and chairs. It's way to bright and the ceiling is too high and visually needs to be lowered with something decorative. Comes across as a big room with bright lights.“

“Great food. Great atmosphere. Great people. Hilltop is a gem of a little restaurant in our SSP/IGH community and Chef Negusse is wonderful!“

“Excellent service! Abbi W was our server and she made the dinner so much better! Good food doesn’t matter without good service. We will definitely be back and ask for Abbi!“

“Decent salads, and many good toppings to choose from. They have a menu or you can build your own. I personally enjoy their Classic Caesar, but if you want to add some chicken, it's an upcharge. To be honest, the only drawback to this place is the price. $10 - $15 for a simple salad is a little much in my opinion. However, it's fast, and good for anyone trying to lose a few inches around the waist. Sadly, if you make it a regular occurrence, your wallet may end up getting thinner faster than you.

Still, I'd recommend the place. Quick service, decent quality food, good if you're grabbing something quick to take back to the office.“

“We tried Young Man today at the Japanese festival in Como Zoo. The line was long but oh my, so worth it. Sweet Moo was delicious, Hawaiian Shrimpy too. Takoyaki maybe needed couple more minutes of frying, but I got it, they were really busy that afternoon.“

“Food is amazing and service is friendly as ever“

“Fantastic food! We loved everything about our dinner. Just superb!“

“Great food and unique service. Quite interesting and fascinating. They cater to your needs and are willing to accommodate. Food is amazing! Parking is a bit hard to come by. Unfortunately the waiter hadn't stopped by to address my accommodation for a drink, but I don't think they noticed me as my party had arrived a little earlier, so I don't blame them, overall while I interacted with the employees they seemed pretty down to earth. Great atmosphere. The slight downfall was the door being left open to the restaurant kept bringing in flies and bees to the food which was a bit of an annoyance, however the food was pretty good.“

“Camille at the Dinky town location was so helpful and accommodating. Great customer service. We love Crisp & Green!“

“Glad I finally stopped by this lovely, airy café for lunch! It feels like a museum café but far more relaxed and reasonably priced. I loved my vegetable tacos, made with grilled wild mushrooms, zucchini, and onion, and served with a really good homemade salsa. The coffee was also very good and slightly smoky (chicory?) The crafts gift store and art gallery in the building are a welcome plus! I want to bring guests from out of town here.“

“I have only heard about this place due to the club that opens there at 10, and decided to try the dinner menu with my mom. I was not disappointed! We both got a beverage, appetizer and an entree. There was a slight issue with one of the entrees and our server and manager took great care of us. Will highly recommend this to other friends and family!“

“Delicious and great service. I got mee kah teeh and the red curry was rich and savory. The portions were very generous and we had a lovely experience overall. The vibe is cozy while also being spacious. Excited to come back and try their other dishes.“

“Excellent tavern-style pizza in a creatively decorated small space. White and red pies are both recommended! Staff plays their extensive collection of vinyl records, with Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath being two favorites. Friendly owners and great overall experience!“

“Stopped in from out of town this morning for breakfast. WOW simply blown away with my Greek Omlette and pancake. Thank you for such an amazing breakfast spot, but now I'll be always searching for a good Greek Omlette at home.“

“We had Old Southern Bbq cater for our wedding and it was absolutely an amazingly positive experience! The director of catering, Amy, was so helpful and on top of everything. The catering team was absolutely wonderful! All of our guests ranted and raved about the food all night, especially the potato salad and the cornbread muffin tops. Would definitely recommend!“

“I have never been in a bar that felt so safe. Staff were friendly and attentive, the bartenders made phenomenal drinks, and the bathroom was clean and well maintained. As some of the younger people at the bar, we felt like staff were also looking out for us to make sure we were safe. This was also the first gay bar I've ever been to. It sets the standard high!“

“If you’re near Lake Bde Maka Ska and craving flavorful, globally inspired noodle dishes, Noodles & Company in Uptown is a must-visit. The ordering process is super easy—whether online or in person—and the staff here are genuinely some of the friendliest you’ll meet.

The menu offers a wide range of world kitchen-inspired noodle dishes, from classic American mac to spicy Asian-style noodles. Each dish we tried was served warm, well-prepared, and absolutely delicious—full marks for taste!

The location is ideal, just a short and pleasant walk from the lake. Seating is available both indoors and outdoors, with enough space to enjoy a relaxed meal. We also appreciated the ample parking, which made getting there stress-free.

With its great value for money, welcoming vibes, and good people all around, Noodles & Company in Uptown is definitely worth the stop—whether you’re a local or just out for a day by the lake.“

“I had a long layover at Minneapolis airport so I odered from Vitali's on Doordash. The food was excelent and got a here very quickly. I had a personal eggplant pizza and it was really good and flavorful. The texture was still great even though I was not eating it totally fresh. I would highly recommend them!“

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

“Ok this is a great pizza joint. Located in the heart of NorthEast Minneapolis right across from Surdyk's Liquor & Cheese Shop Some of the best fast casual food in the Twin Cities. The staff is friendly and the service is great and the FOOD is top notch. Check it out.“

“Agra Culture at the Minneapolis Institute of Art is a great spot for a meal or a coffee break. The food was fresh, delicious, and well-prepared. The staff was friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better. Water is free, and the prices were reasonable for the quality. Plus, there’s plenty of good seating in the museum to relax and enjoy your meal.
A great option if you’re visiting MIA!“

“Fast, delicious, very healthy option right in the middle of Dinkytown at the U. I ordered the Verde Chicken and was not disappointed. Great for a quick bite that doesn't sit with you all day. I'm relatively new to Crisp and Green, but all of my experiences have been great!“

“First time there yesterday. Delic!! Staff was Fabulous!! Especially Ashley!!“

“Delicious best sandwiches .“

“Our company had a last minute breakfast this morning we needed catered, and found out 2days before (Wednesday night) the caterer we usually use couldn’t accommodate us. I called Ryan’s Cafe as soon as they opened Thursday morning and Ryan answered. I asked if there was any possible way he could cater breakfast for 57 the next morning by 7 am. He was in the middle of preparing for another event he was catering that day, but was gracious enough to ask questions, offer options and take down my information. He even made suggestions on which items to cut back on so I wasn’t overspending. He had the quote back to me in less than 30 minutes.Anthony, one of Ryan’s employees, arrived the next morning at 6:50 am with the food and had it all ready to serve by 7 am! The presentation was fantastic and the food even better! We had a variety of breakfast burritos and sandwiches (sausage, bacon, ham and a vegetarian option), hash browns, fresh fruit, pastries and all the condiments including butter, cream cheese, hot sauce, etc. Anthony was very helpful and gracious too!Everyone raved about how delicious and fresh the food was, and the generous quantities! And the bonus…the price was very competitive!I can’t say enough good things about Ryan, Anthony and Ryan’s Cafe! We’ll definitely have them cater for us at future events and look forward to the next one! Thank you Ryan, Anthony and Ryan’s Cafe for making our event such a success!“

“I got some breakfast here before my appointment at M Health Fairview and it was pretty decent! In particular, all the staff were really nice and friendly. Their coffee was kind of mid, but I thought the breakfast sandwich I had was pretty good. Overall, a decent stop if you are at the clinic and need a pick me up.“

“Today was my first time having Naf Naf. I accidentally ordered to the location a few blocks away, yet the man working at this location called them and was able to make it here for me. I appreciate him going above and beyond to help! I really didn’t expect that, I feel so grateful. The food was fantastic- so fresh and full of flavor. The pita bread was sooo soft, chicken was juicy, and the sauces were perfectly balanced in flavors! I’ll be back! 😍“

“Reliably good bowls! Great place to meet up with others to work down town.

The Moroccan sauce, spicy hummus and spicy sauce had a strong flavor. May have cried a bit.

Went around noon and had a line of about 5 minutes.“

“It’s blaze pizza. What’s not to like? Great food options. Super service. Quick and convenient for dine in or takeout.
Basic drinks.
Variety of toppings and options makes it so you can’t ever complain about the menu. You build your own pizza and the results are always good.
This particular store is so convenient to campus that it’s hit and a win every time.
Naturally, the team and the customer service make it work.
Highly recommended.

Vegetarian options: There are enough vegetarian options that you won’t be disappointed. It’s not a raw vegan restaurant per se. But you won’t feel like you had the meat lovers special either.

Kid-friendliness: It’s pizza. Big kids and little kids love pizza.

Wheelchair accessibility: Street level with good entry and exit options. No automated doors, but they’re workable.“

“All Thai food is delicious.“

“I have never personally been to the store. I just wanted to leave a comment about the Owner/Operator. Kevin is a wonderful leader, and mentor. He lead our store in a little town in South Carolina and He and his family are wonderful caring people. The people of this town in Minnesota are getting one of the best Owner/Operators there are. I know that the people who visit will be blessed and will have ate at one of the best Chick-fil-A's in MN.“

“this is my Favorite restaurant to eat at“

“Loved the lemongrass chicken and fried tofu!“

“Excellent!!! The teriyaki noodles with beef were delish!!!!“

“I grabbed a late dinner from freshy today and my service and food and shake were wonderful! When I told the absolutely wonderful black woman behind the counter that I've never been in there before, she went straight away and to explaining the menu and how items can be customized and it helped me make a decision quickly! I also bought some extra grab and go drinks, because she is so wonderful! I will say the food is a bit on the pricey side, but if that woman is making a living wage, I'll gladly pay it when I can afford it! I will also refer other people to this location, as well!“

“Briano's is so good. Got the best Clam Chowder soup today. Then bought their Italian sausage by the rope. My food is good because I start with theirs.“

“We ordered DoorDash today and the driver delivered the wrong order, blaming the restaurant and it being busy. DoorDash gave us a full refund and I called the restaurant to let them know about the mix up in case the other person called wondering what happened. Ms. K answered and was nothing but kind and patient, offering to bring us the food herself once the lunch rush died down. 30 minutes later she arrived at my house with the food, and extra cookies! I cannot stress enough how much we appreciated her going above and beyond. What an amazing manager!“

“After a disappointing first impression at another nearby restaurant, I decided to try this chain, as they are not local to my home city. I ordered Pad Thai with a side of their “world-famous Mac & cheese,” and their take on a Rice Krispy treat for dessert. All were very delicious and flavorful. Also, my server, T.T., was incredibly nice, helpful, and had a genuine interest in making my first experience with N&C a positive one. ?“
