50 Best Salad Restaurants in Albuquerque

“This is my absolute FAVORITE place. Their California Harvest Market salad is my favorite salad in the entire city. I’m vegetarian so I eat a lot of salads and this one is my go-to every single time. All the ingredients are fresh and the dressing is light enough that it doesn’t over power the salad but heavy enough that you don’t feel it’s missing. I also love the Penne Pasta. It’s again very fresh and has amazing flavor. The service is amazing every time I go (which has been pretty much weekly) and the food comes out quick. Highly, highly recommend this place!“

“Frustrated with the Masthead location. I work in the building and hours say open 7am to 3pm, but they don't open until between 10:30 and 11:00--would love to be able to get breakfast. Also, full menu is never available, just a handful of lunch items. Been told numerous times "full menu is coming", but it's been months. C'mon guys...“

“We wandered in to Giovanni’s for the first time since we were doing jiu-jitsu next-door and needed a quick dinner. Not only was their pizza delicious (each of my young kids ate 3 pieces!) but I was impressed by their customer service. Our pizza came out a little burnt on one side. The staff member immediately apologized, admitted she hadn’t gotten it out right away, and offered to replace it. They quickly made us a replacement pizza to ensure we were satisfied. Then she not only gave us both pizzas, she also threw in a free slice of cheesecake that was incredibly smooth and delicious!!! I love supporting small, local businesses who do things right and will definitely be back again! Thanks for a great first experience!“

“Amazing First Experience!

This was my first time visiting, and the atmosphere was incredibly welcoming. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted warmly and asked what I’d like to order. They had an amazing special— a burrito and coffee for about $9— which was a great deal. I also got a pastry, and it was absolutely delicious!

The burrito was a good size (I used a K-cup for reference) and packed with flavor. I ordered the red chile and carne adobada breakfast burrito, and it did not disappoint. The red chile was perfection—just the right balance of spice and richness. The food tasted incredibly authentic and homemade, just like something you’d get from a family kitchen.

I will definitely be returning!“

“Fantastic staff!! They are friendly efficient and hardworking. The food is excellent & and good value“

“awesome food and service. so happy we found this place! great for our family of 5“

“I love no-frills, hole-in-the-wall joints that dish out great food with yummy flavors. Metro hits the mark. They took the concept of a traditional sandwich shop and infused it with a Persian and New Mexican twist. It’s a family-owned business worth supporting. Don’t forget to stop by!“

“Come in - look at menu on wall - order & sit down with your #. I really dig the diner atmosphere of this location. Tunes were good, walls had art for sale (which I thought was kinda random).
Food: Really good variety of sandwiches to choose from.
Very tasteful sammich, meal included a side & “Gourmet” is in the name so you’ll pay a bit more. I got the LOBO BEEF & pasta salad. Beef on an Alpinette bun was good quality & plentifully delicious but the sandwich was only 8” cut in half (see pic). Pasta salad was creamy and legit, imo. Decent portion unless you rolled in with serious hunger…. Wife n I got sandwich meals (w/side), no drinks •• $32.“

“This place has great food for great prices. A must try!“

“I’ve been a few times. A pleasant atmosphere, Fantastic food with on point service.“

“They actually make the food good at this location and it was nice and pleasant unlike the other location where the food is dry just like the customer service and it’s not chaotic where it feels they’re trying to get you in and out. The lady that helped us was closing and still made sure we were taken care of and not once made us feel like an inconvenience. I think her name is Jordan, according to the receipt“

“great coffee and waffles.“

“Been going to Village Inn for decades! Since high school ,and I'm in my 60's we had a very understanding waiter! And he was well compensated for what he probably thought was going to be a cheap customer's
He got blessed for the thanksgiving!
Good place to eat !“

“Really fabulous food! been eating here for a few years and I've always been happy with the food. the crispy pork salad or curry, the fried udon noodles! I love it there. eat there a few times a month probably“

“Dion's is a New Mexico staple. Really good at all the things they make (pizza, salads, subs), and priced reasonably. Feels like a good spot if you want better than fast food but aren't looking for a whole waited-on sit down experience.
... and get the ranch. You won't regret it.“

“Staff are on top of it. They are courteous and kind. The operation runs smoothly - I've never had a bad experience here. The interior is low-key, warm, and welcoming. Does not entirely feel like a chain restaurant, aside from the menu. The Sirloin and Alfredo dish is the perfect portion. The Amaretto Sour is my favorite drink, it never disappoints!“

“Loved the experience. Thanks for the amazing food, service, and wine. Will be coming back.
A legit French Brasserie in abq.
Next time let's do cassoulet, confit du canard, et une couscous à la royal.
Keep being awesome!“

“Were there for Happy Hour but we're not offered the HH menu but we're there for dinner so. Not cheap but oh my what a great menu! Can't wait to back and try lots more! You will LOVE the Tempura! One nice thing is option of small or large on a number of items. Nice atmosphere, service....all good!“

“The pizza and staff are amazing. As someone who’s spent a lot of time in NYC, this pizza hits home.“

“Good pizza & friendly atmosphere“

“try the meatball pizza it's good“

“Everything at this location was great.My problem with Firehouse Subs is their rewards program. After amassing a large amount of credit the app stopped working and multiple attempts to remedy the problem have failed.I happened to catch the District Manager at this location today. He agreed to check into the problem and text me back. Here is his reply, "Hi Robert. Here is what my corporate contact sent me:'.... unfortunately we don’t have a live person he can talk to. The app utilizes a chat bot as soon as you click the contact us option."'Firehouse Subs' rewards program is controlled by a third party entity. I think that if the folks controlling the rewards program can not be reached and I lose all my acquired credits I will exercise my right to take my business elsewhere.My Jersey Mike's app still works just fine. RF“

“We went here after a morning at the Albuquerque ballon fiesta and caught them right at opening with our tour bus. They invited us in with smiles on their faces, guided us through the menu. It's a good selection of pizzas and subs and salads all which looked prepared well. We had a 12 inch carnivore pizza on original thin crust that was excellent. Other members had other options and I didn't hear any negative comments. Good job Dion's.“

“I don’t know what was done differently tonight with the pizza BUT YUM! I mean we always love the food but today was extra good! The place was packed and the manager was quick to see where help was needed and got things rolling smoothly. I don’t normally leave reviews but today, the food was that good!“

“Chick-fil-A never disappoints with quality of their food and the friendliness of the staff. Prices seem to have increased a bit, but it's still par for what you would pay for good food, for instance the side salad used to be included as a replacement for the waffle fries, you now have to pay an additional 1.40 for the salad. I've eaten at all the chick-fil-a's in Albuquerque and they all were consistent with flavor, freshness, and happy people behind the counter.“

“awesome food and service!!!“

“Finally tried Mario’s after reading some great comments on the Neighborhood app. So glad I did! Pizza was the best I’ve had in Albuquerque. Freaking delicious!“

“Go Monday for the mushroom soup. The manager makes you feel like family. The food is great. The Rio Grande and the chicken Salad are two of my favorites. The Waldorf salad is always fresh. It's not fancy but the portions are generous and the price is right“

“We celebrated our wedding anniversary tonight at Amore and they went out of their way to make it special for us. Recommend them 100%. Great food and people!“

“We were here with family from out of town and we had a great time. The service was excellent, the food ( I had the red chile ribs) was amazing, and the margaritas were very smooth. It has been a while since we'd been here because its a bit far from my house but we had a great experience and we will be back!“

“I have to say, with most places getting things wrong whether it's forgetting something or not taking off something or making us wait...this place is on point.

They always get it right, such as removing deli mustard from sandwiches, changing the cheese or adding specific toppings to the pizza, I have never had an issue and it's always on time.“

“We had a mistake on our order last night, and today the awesome manager re did our order, no charge, and gave us a box of cookies. She was very helpful over the phone and at the drive thru and such a great personality. We appreciate her tons.“

“Excellent pizza since 1987 if I’m correct.“

“Always on point. Good food and we never had a bad meal.“

“Mitch and Jazzy are very kind and exceptional at customer service and excel in friendliness. I will be coming back, for the calzone as well!

Very gooey and cheesy and again the service is impeccable if I didn't already mention.

The pizza crust is top notch, and two different specialty doughs for each unique product is also brilliant and tasty!

The ranch is the best I've had and the pizza is simple yet extremely delicious and also affordable!“

“Pizza and salad were great for us older folks , the middle agers and the pile of teens we had with us.
Got a new hint from a friend that if you are picking up salad to take home ask for all the tomatoes, cheese and other add in to be on the side. That way your salad is not soggy when you get it home in 1 1/2 hours . I live down west of Estancia.“

“I brought my mom to eat for her 42nd birthday! The food and service was amazing like always! I’ve been coming here since I was a little girl… They’ve always been the best with kids too. They gave my daughters some Halloween rings. Definitely will be returning again for special occasions ?“

“Went through the drive-thru, and we
did have to wait for the food, but that wasn't a problem. The food was hot and fresh when we were handed the bag. We were offered salsa. Loved the salsa verde. Enough spice that had me coming back for more.“

“Excellent pizza since 1987 if I’m correct.“

“Great service, fun employees and light but very tasty pizza!“

“I go to this particular Arby's every Friday for their 2/$6 roast beef sandwiches. The people there are so kind and have come to realize that those sandwiches do not require condiments, as they are always for my spoiled doggies. They are very generous with their portions, and my fur babies live going.“

“100% recommended to be able to go eat with the family ?

Parking: There is enough space for parking

Kid-friendliness: 100% family atmosphere so you can take your children to eat, very excellent service from your waitresses ?“

“Their taco Tuesday deal is great! Also kids eat free on Tuesdays. Our family tried steak, mahi mahi, and salmon tacos as well as macaroni and cheese and the shrimp rice bowl kids meals. All of it was very tasty including a variety of sauces. The guys working there were friendly and I appreciated the help from the cashier. The fish was tasty! I'm glad we gave it a try.

Vegetarian options: They have vegan meat options

Dietary restrictions: They were able to leave off the ingredients we are allergic to.

Parking: I've never had a hard time getting a spot in the lot for the business in that strip.

Kid-friendliness: There is a kids menu with a good variety of options and a coloring page.“

“My favorite item is the Italian Sub. Half the time I get the chips half the time I get the fruit cup. I usually get a large Arnold Palmer with sweet tea. Sometimes I get a pizza and salad but most of the time it is this sub with the Greek dressing. The staff are very friendly, fast, and work well with each other it seems. The restroom was clean when I went into it. And there was a cashier that went out and wipe down the tables that were empty while I was eating. That is always nice to see being done. Period guest come and go about every half hour or so so having the tables wipe down often, it’s nice. I have been to other places but love Dion’s. The amount of food and the price is great here compared to other places I have tried.“

“Dion's pizza is very delicious. They give you wide options for toppings and pizza at a reasonable price. If you are ever in Albuquerque, you have to try this gem of the southwest.

Kid-friendliness: The kiddos love to look through the window to see them making the pizza.“

“We wish you were everywhere.“

“I love going to Cheba Hut for their Cali Mist Sandwich and decided to sit at the bar. The new bartender, Crystal, was absolutely AMAZING! She was super friendly and helpful! It was such a nice change of pace! I will most definitely be back!“

“OMG this is my new FAV restaurant in Albq!!! Everything we ordered was completely wonderful!!! I'm upset that we didn't eat here sooner!! Fabulous food, huge cheesecake, great customer service. We'll be back for sure!“

“I have always been a great admirer of focaccia bread. I used to particularly enjoy the basil pesto pasta, which is no longer on the menu. As a result, I do not visit as frequently as I used to, but when I do, I am always thoroughly satisfied.“
