49 Best Salad Restaurants near Vadnais Heights

“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.“

“All comments noted above!, a favorite!“

“I've been meaning to try for the last year and finally stopped by and had lunch. Ordered the Samosa and the Pumpkin curry and vietnamese coffee. All were really delicious. I will definitely be back.

Vegetarian options: There were several dishes that could be made vegetarian as you can choose your protein.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes. It is wheelchair friendly, but I wasn't able to check the bathroom situation.“

“Great dining experience with very friendly staff. We liked everything we tried.“

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

“Loved the place. Just captures the essence of what an Italian-American eatery/shop would be expected to feel like. Food was great. Cafeteria style service so it was pretty quick. Fun atmosphere (music, decor, etc.). Fun little shop with bakery and butcher and candy/chocolates. Would go again.“

“the food was delicious , the prices were good.“

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

“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.“

“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! 👌“

“Place has potential. Food is definitely solid. Not going to blow you away but it’s good. Smash burger could use more seasoning but loved the onions and meat skirt. Dry rub wings were lacking in flavor, needed a lot more seasoning. My friend got the Buffalo wings and loved the sauce on those. No home made ranch which is disappointing. Cheese curds are a small portion and are just frozen not hand breaded. Drinks are pretty spendy if you are not there for happy hour. Great spot before a wild game or other Xcel events but parking isn’t ideal and food isn’t good enough to seek out any other night. Place was dead on a Friday night.“

“Amazing food, kind staff, reasonable prices“

“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.“

“Stopped in for an early dinner with the family after the game. As always, the staff were friendly, the food was delivered promptly, and the pizzas were delicious.

Vegetarian options: There are several vegetarian options on the menu, though a vegan might struggle to find adequate choices.

Parking: The restaurant has a small lot. If it is full there is street parking on Grand Ave.“

“We would give the Pizza a 4.5 out of 5. Yum! Those we interacted with on the phone and at the Pizzeria were very pleasant, we'll be back. Thank you!“

“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.“

“Never tried this place before but the employees were super polite & professional. I asked what was good to eat and I got an immediate suggestion. Which I took because he was so sure when he said it. It was the Brisket Grilled Cheese sandwich and it was amazing! A tad on the small side but still just right along with the soup or salad side. Plus, the chocolate dipped strawberry was the perfect ending. Kinda pricey but what isn't these days and the food quality was excellent. I will definitely be back!“

“A cozy, wood and window bar and grill that is so welcoming, I am charging my power wheel chair in here welcomed to do it by a beautiful and happy waitress. Not a drinker, but bet I get food here in the near future! On corner across from Mears Park who failed my electric access w pad locks! lol. Life is an adventure and its businesses like this that make a crisis, not one. Makes it a warm visit instead. Home town Saint Paul is represented here. Thank you Bulldog!“

“i always enjoy the chicken alfredo, salad, and bread sticks. it was all excellent. and they had a chocolate desert that we were only going to have a few bites of because we were so full, but we ate the whole thing it was so good. our waiter seemed pre-occupied. he was not very attentive. i had to ask 3 times for extra alfredo sauce. and what really sucked was that we were foolish enough to play trivia in the little screen on the table. there was $3 dollar charge for using the dumb thing. there was no warning that you play at your own risk and with a cost. lame. the meal was a lot pricier than i expected.“

“very good pizza recommended the deep dish“

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

“Great food good ambiance! Awesome staff !“

“Ordered a variety of items. Curry, soup, noodles, etc. All 10 out of 10. Literally some of the best food We’ve ever had. Owner cooked. She is a meticulous chef with rare talent. You won’t be disappointed, no matter what you order“

“There staff is great and so is the pizza. Best pizza around.“

“Allison, the girl who took our order in the drive through , was perfect in every way, we love her and hope she gets a raise. There was a lot going on in our car, and yet she stayed patient with us the whole time. She also was a problem solver for us and also for her coworker who was having technical difficulties with his ipad. please give her a raise.“

“Great place to eat brings me right back to Italy!!! Was a great lunch and great service.“

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

“excelente lugar y atención“

“I literally used to live here 3-4 days a week during lunch. I can't say enough for the nonchalance of the staff on my 2nd/3rd weekly visit. No sarcastic "welcome back", just nice friendly staff and quick, consistent service.

Some days, I swear the chef(s) was/ (were) testing me and adding a little more bubble to the crust. If it was intentional? Who's to say. But I noticed. The culinary reprieve with a only slightly (dare I say microscopically) more complex crust gave me the drive I needed to make those rare, yet memorable, 3rd weekly visits.

Have I said too much? I can't say enough. It's literally like every other Punch, but idk - they all hit different.“

“🍅🥑🥬🥒🌶🌽🧅🍭Can't wait to try a smoothie.“

“Amazing food and awesome staff! The restaurant is always clean too!:-)“

“I passed this establishment many times and decided to try it Sunday. The restaurant is very nice looking outside and inside. The host was pleasant. Service was fast and served in a timely manner within 20 minutes. My food was very good, I had the chicken sandwich melt. One thing I was ever offered a refill on my drink. Overall it was a great lunch.“

“Ramen is wonderful, lots of flavor. I got the shoyu ramen lovely rich broth, husband got the kimchi ramen well developed flavors with a bit of tang and spice. The gyoza is wonderful, really like the dipping sauce. Overall a great experience

Kid-friendliness: Have a few great choices for kids to pick from. Kids portion size was great for our 9yr old“

“I recently came in for a late lunch not knowing what to expect. The staff’s recommendation was out of this world and the restaurant was clean and accommodating. I will definitely 10/10 be coming back here next time I am in the area. Everyone I spoke to was overly friendly which made the experience great.

Dietary restrictions: I personally don’t have a lot of restrictions, but I felt comfortable knowing that I could easily bring family here who do have food restrictions and they would be taken care of.“

“This Place is like #Heaven 😋🤤😋🥰💪🏽🍝 Everything was so perfect, and I usually find something to complain about 🤣🙈🤣 Not here, I love you #OliveGarden, I'm mad my leftovers are gone ...😭😭🥰🍝🥖🥩🥗“

“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!“

“It was way too hot to Cook so we Went and picked up Potbelly!! I ordered a Turkey with Provolone,on whole grain.it was Amazing!!The bread is a crusty bread I Absolutely love!!! I also ordered a bowl of the loaded potato soup...Really good !! Very hard to choose, they have so many good options. I bet you every one of their sandwiches are good.I can't wait to go back and try a different one next time.I definitely recommend!!!“

“Mice and fruit flies at this location. My soda had a fruit fly in it. Mouse ran across the floor. Staff and manager laughed. One stated their are everywhere in the building. The mouse ran off and this was ok. NEVER EAT HERE AND CLOSE THIS LOCATION“

“Great food and service when I have been a Wednesday regular for dinner & music. Shannon provides great service with generous pour. And ya cannot beat the live music jam“

“Before I start: I’m not lost on the fact that writing a sandwich shop review of this length might seem sort of odd. But I think the people who work here deserve some public praise for the great job they do.

This particular Erbs location is the best I have visited in many years. If you’re looking for what a fair-priced franchise sandwich shop lunch spot is supposed to be, walk in here. I feel like I’m transported back to the mid-2000s before complacency and worker shortages hurt quality across the industry.

They absolutely nail their French bread, which has a thin golden outer crust and is fluffy and white inside. This has been consistent over years of lunches here. The sandwiches are always well constructed and balanced, never sloppy or soggy. The staff are really nice and fast too.

These should be basic expectations of a lunch spot, but with how a lot of these shops have slid over the last decade, the quality really shines here. This place is run by great workers.“

“It was delicious! I got a grilled cheese with a chocolate shake. My mom the veggie delight and a chocolate shake too. The shakes come with little cookies that fit in the straw, it’s super cute and yummy :) there is also public restrooms and nice seating!!!

Vegetarian options: Veggie delight sandwich and grilled cheese“

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

“Beer is cold food is great. People are incredibly friendly both the waitstaff and the patrons. love it here, I end going at least four times a week!!“

“Stopped by this location because it is close to the job and it was great. I ordered two salads and two soups. Service was quick and fast. The eggs were left off my salads by mistake but it was ok because the staff was nice and the food was fresh. We will be back.“

“Had noodles many times, but tonight we really noticed the quality of service. A young girl, high school aged, took our order and was extremely helpful and engaged with our kids. Awesome start. Then the nicest guy from the kitchen brought out our food. Very kind, polite, helpful. Rare these days.“

“Last night, I had a fantastic music experience at the Pavilion! The concert band Valley Winds performed, and it was one of the best free concerts I've ever seen. I hope they are invited back; I'll be keeping an eye on the schedule!“

“The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, I am an alien 👽 from Canada 🇨🇦 visiting the land of the U S of A. The civilians of United States are very nice people. This place was amazing in food and most of the the customer service. Tommy and Ruu are top tier Associates. You hired the right people!“

“The cashier was nice and thorough to make sure that the order was correct. We drove about 20 minutes away, and the food was still hot. The buffalo mac and cheese was creamy, not too spicy. Probably some of the better mac and cheese that you can get at a fast food restaurant.“

“Normally a Panera fan - go regularly to St. Louis Park store. I stopped by the Highland Park store this week while running errands though and was sorely disappointed. I ordered a half-size strawberry-poppyseed salad for the first time ever. When it came it had only 2 strawberries in it! and about 8 blueberries. Really - did not meet expectations and hardly lived up to its name (unless "strawberry salad" meant I should expect only one strawberry.) I will think long before stopping at this store again. This e perience does prove that management makes a difference -- and this store needs some attention.“
