11 Best Salad Restaurants in Wake Forest

“Delicious food. We enjoyed the variety on the food and the sides. The chicken tenders were delicious and my son finished them off. Very flavorful. Great service. If you have not tried it, do it!“

“Went with a group of 5 adults. We will did different pasta, a cheese bread, and meatball pocket.... Everyone enjoyed their food a lot!! The guys helping us were great and the restaurant was very clean. 5 adults, 5 dinners and it was cheaper than the local sandwich/burger place two of us went to for lunch recently.“

“we went on opening day and even though it was cold, we had a great time! Everyone was nice and helpful, and the food is awesome!!! We are actually going again for lunch today!“

“I was so sad when Romeo's closed a couple of years ago! Their cauliflower crust is the best! I recently ordered and there was a glitch with my order. The owner quickly took care of it and the pizza was delish! Super quick delivery too. Thanks for coming back to Wake Forest!“

“I had only been to Cava (Raleigh location) once before.
I decided on the Chef Signature Spicy Lamb + Avacado bowl, with a side of Harissa BBQ pita chips, with Blueberry Soda. And the server that started my order was patient and kind. My daughter enjoyed her build-a-bowl also!
Delicious, all around. The server who took our trays from outdoors (Cava has plenty of outside seating!) was terrifically friendly, a wide smile that topped off the evening.
Will definitely be coming back!“

“The employees were awesome and so friendly!“

“Update 10-2024 The drive thru line is literally the most efficient/fast fast food line I've ever seen. The line can be out to the road and I've been thru in 10 minutes. My orders are almost always perfectly made, at the right temperature, and flavorful, even when they are large group orders.
10-2018 As always, great service, food exactly as expected. Noisy with lots of little kids having fun, but again - that's what's expected. Best of the best of fast food chains. They can clear a massive queue in the drive-thru line in no time flat, and the curbside pickup with the app is awesome“

“So good and really fast too! I got the Cheese Ravioli and my dad got the Zupa Tuscan(n)a. I was tempted to eat it all at once, it was so good- but the portion was too big, so I had it for lunch the next day (still good even microwaved). I am proudly coming back!!!“

“Our family had a short wait since there were so many courteous staff members working. We enjoyed our delicious food, and the kiddos played. Thank you!“

“I stopped by this Zaxby’s after a few months away, and overall the experience was still reliably good. The food quality has remained consistent across my visits — my order was correct, served at the right temperature, and presented well, which is something I’ve come to expect from this location. The staff continues to be polite and professional. I wouldn’t call the service exceptional, but it’s consistently acceptable, and everyone stays busy and engaged in their work.

The restaurant was clean throughout my visit. I was there for over an hour catching up with a friend, and the drink station stayed clean the entire time. I also noticed team members wiping down tables whenever they weren’t taking orders, which is always a good sign of solid day‑to‑day upkeep.

There have been a few changes since my last visit. The drive‑thru setup outside has been improved, and traffic flows much better now. Parking has also been adjusted so cars in the drive‑thru aren’t blocking people trying to park. Inside, the seating area has been reworked and brightened up with fresh paint, giving it a nicer overall feel. The only downside was noticing a few cosmetic shortcuts — the booth I sat near had old holes and anchors that were simply painted over instead of properly patched. That feels more like an issue with whoever handled the remodel rather than Zaxby’s itself, but it did stand out. I was also disappointed to see that the Coke Freestyle machine is no longer at the drink station, since that was always a nice perk.

Even with those small misses, this is still a good place to grab a meal and catch up with friends, and I’ll definitely be back again soon.“

“Wake Forest is our go-to location! We LOVE Panera! Service is fast, food is delicious, and it’s very clean. Kelvin (who I think might be the manager) is very professional and always in upbeat spirits! It’s great to see. You can tell he takes pride in his work and customers!“
