Salad Restaurants near Lake Grove

“This Panera Bread location has quickly become one of my favorites — even though it’s a solid 45-minute drive from my home, it’s worth every mile. Conveniently located close to the Cheesecake Factory and right next to a cinema, it’s a spot I’ve visited multiple times, and each visit has been just as enjoyable as the last.

The location is perfectly maintained — clean, well-organized, and inviting. It’s the kind of place where you can grab a meal before catching a movie, or simply sit with your laptop and enjoy a relaxed afternoon. The staff here keeps things moving efficiently without losing the friendly, welcoming vibe that Panera is known for.

One of the best parts for me is being a member of Panera’s Unlimited Sip Club. I love that I can enjoy unlimited coffee, every two hours, all day long — it’s a perk that really makes my visits even better. Whether I’m in the mood for a hot cup of coffee, iced tea, or another favorite beverage, I can always count on a fresh refill during my stay.

The food here is consistently good — whether it’s a warm bowl of soup in a bread bowl, a fresh salad, or one of their sandwiches, I always find something satisfying. Pair that with the convenience of grabbing a drink and then strolling over to the cinema for a movie, and you’ve got the perfect outing.

Overall, this Panera Bread isn’t just another chain location — for me, it’s a mini destination. Good food, great drinks, reliable service, and a prime spot right next to a cinema make it an easy favorite whenever I’m in the area.“

“So so delicious. So many options. Love it here“

“Italian hero delicious thank you so much that was so good 💕“

“Fun times great service trivia night with lots of laughs“

“I don't normally eat out on weekdays as I find most take out by my work tends to disagree with me, but this is not the case with the Sexy Salad. Great staff and fresh food. My two favorites are the Hungry Man for breakfast and their lobster bisque for lunch. Highly recommend for anyone in the area looking for good food.“

“Went to Bliss for the first time last night for my girlfriend and I’s 3-year anniversary and we will definitely be going back! Megan was a great server, attentive & very outgoing, and Robin who greeted us at the front was very welcoming & helped with the menu. She even offered us a drink for our anniversary. Thank you for a great experience!“

“Highly recommend “From The Earth Foods”! This place just opened up and the service and food was amazing. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The pick up service was quick and painless, which I like especially when your trying to catch your train. I loved a good quality salad and this place did not disappoint, definitely recommend the Mexican Cesar Salad for sure but I will be going back to try the others.“

“DELICIOUS food with wonderful, accommodating waitstaff. They always take my request to make the gnocchi with the hay & straw cream, mushroom snd truffle oil pasta sauce. I go here for birthdays celebrations to brunches as often as I can. Try their Malbec and flourless chocolate cake which is naturally gluten-free—in fact, their brunches have almost all gluten-free options. The coffee is smooth and just wonderful. The outdoor dining experience is as if you are at a party in Europe. They already see me often for 10 years—I love food and this gets my repeat business. Try it at least! See if it becomes a favorite of yours!“

“Incredible food! A must have if you want a fantastic array of food. They change their menu to reflect different states, a true American food joint. Highly recommended coming here. Even their cocktails are stellar. Atmosphere is really relaxing as well.“

“Went to Tellers tonight for birthday celebration, it definitely did not disappoint. Everything we had was amazing steaks were cooked perfect , sides were very good , the French onion soup was fantastic.Great drinks. Excellent service beautiful restaurant. You definitely need to try this place. Prices are the same as most steak restaurants .“

“I had a great lunch today at Stony Brook's Organic Krush. They have wonderfully delicious Chicken Tacos!!!! I highly recommend this restaurant!!“

“I decided to order from the newly-opened Tonnam on a whim for dinner tonight, and was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food. Everything in my order was excellent - spring rolls, curry puff (a samosa-esque appetizer I was particularly fond of), and pad thai. They serve a variety of bubble tea as well, and the menu has a nice overall variety. I'll be back for sure; try them out!“

“Great food. Great atmosphere. Great music. Great people.“

“All I'll say is.. Mama Mia !!“

“The food is always delicious. Fast and friendly service. Highly recommend.“

“First time there last night. Delicious food, huge servings, prices great! Best chick pea salad appetizer and Greek salad . Lamb chops big portion and delicious with green beans with peppers and onion vegetable and lemon potato wedges. Highly recommend glad our friends brought us there. Wish I lived closer“

“Employees were extremely friendly and helpful, food was hot , fresh and tasty! Loved the peppermint shake“

“Great food, amazing lunch specials, and the best iced tea and spices in town“

“Always great food and super attentive staff. Good prices too. This place should be a "go to" spot for anyone that likes Thai food.“

“Second time I had Sicilian pizza and salad delivered. One of the best pizzas I’ve ever had on Long Island. I am definitely going to visit them to see what else they have to offer. Their salad was delicious too, and their dressing was outstanding.“

“Always a great hero, owners n staff R awesome always know what I want, great place 👍👍👍“

“Had a great time with my friends at slurp Ramen! I’ll definitely come back and I’ll definitely bring more friends there!“

“I have been loving Colosseo pizza since jr High school. Thats over 40 plus years and somehow they have not drop a notch in greatness. In todays time, there are so many critics of pizza being so widely loved, but these guys are a Long Island staple.

Inside, its very clean and moves quick in all respects be take-out, by the slice or sit down in their back dining room. Nothing super fancy but your coming for their great pizza!“

“I have ordered here three times within the month the food is so good! I brought a half tray of chicken parm to a gathering and everyone loved it. My husband and I split an entree and a sandwich over two meals the following weekend. Again today my parents wanted to bring dinner over to my kids and I so I suggested La Pizzetta and they loveddddd it. We had a pizza, two rolls and a hero and had so much left over. The food is made to order without a doubt. The garlic bread chicken parm hero, eggplant pizza and Seafood in Creamy Pomodoro are new recent favorites!“

“Just had dinner and Marvin was our server. He was absolutely amazing. Beyond friendly and made sure we always had every refill (from soup to drinks) to make our dinner perfect! Marvin was also friendly and made our dinner experience fantastic!“

“Love their food. Just not happy with the pizza“

“The veggie was loaded!

The owner(s) know what they're doing. Dunno if they are chain, but they will make a Bronx-win if they replace the (bland) cheese.

Better service than most *****“

“The Quality of food has changed. They put stingy amount of toppings on your pizza the pizza is not cooked properly it was all soft and mushy barely any flavor this place has changed drastically they take a piece of cheese and break it down to little tiny pieces I have never seen anything like this before they do not know how to make PIZZA“

“Food was great and our waitress Chloe was wonderful“

“Amazing every time!! Your pizza is like a piece of GOLD!! Thank you for keeping it fresh!“

“Hands down, Best protein shakes on the island. Honestly can’t be compared, only thing that comes close is smoothie king and the closest one is in Manhattan. Salad so fresh it doesn’t even need dressing, once you start chomping down you’ll forget to put dressing on it. Great selection of supplements, best brands on the market are found here. Let’s not forget the snacks. If you like protein bars then you know how hard it is to find ones that are healthy and actually tasty. You don’t have to worry about that here, I’ve yet to eat a protein bar from this place and put it down. Lastly, the European coffee they use is top brand in Europe. There isn’t a coffee shop in Europe without that emblem (illy) in their windows. Great place, great service, great people, great food, great coffee, great shakes, and great products. What else do you want“

“The Wayward never disappoints. I had the pleasure of dining in with a large group of coworkers for dinner and drinks. Not only were the drinks and food top notch but the service was fantastic. Shout out to Marcia for handling a table of 12 on a Saturday night with ease. Marcia was very attentive and timely to our needs, making sure to provide top service while also getting us out the door by a certain time so we could attend an event. Thanks again Wayward, I can confidently say that our group will be back soon.“

“You need to open up at least 20 more stores on Long Island because your food is amazing. Finally a place that understands how to pair herbs and veggies together in a way where they actually taste good. I am obsessed!!!“

“We have been going to Via Pizza for years (like, more than 20!). It is a small family owned place and always produces delicious NY style (real deal!) pizza and other Italian dishes. We have never had a bad meal here and they are pleasant and helpful always. Highly recommend!!“

“Stopped in today for the first time. We just happened to be in the area. The place is spotless and all the employees were extremely nice. We had a couple specialty slices that were amazing. Loaded with chicken, cheese and everything else that makes for a perfect afternoon meal. Even though I’ll need to pass by 3-4 places along the way I’m gonna make it a point to go there again and again.“

“I have tried many of the pizza places around me and I have been so disappointed in the generic food that I stopped getting pizzas. Luckily I decided to give Sapore fino a chance, and it is by far the best pizza around. It is definitely worth driving a little farther to go here. This is now my go to for a quick and easy dinner.“

“We found Local Burger last year and have visited many times since. The food is delicious, the service is fantastic and the Owner, Alyssa truly cares about her customers. Last visit we had Kerri as our server and she really did great. We opted to sit in the back to avoid the Saturday night crowd. We were concerned the service might be slow because we were the only ones in the back but we were wrong. Kerri came back within the first 5 minutes to greet us and take our order, she was friendly and pleasant. Our drinks came back just a few short minutes later followed by our food shortly after. Kerri also came back pretty regularly to check on us. All in all, we had a great experience at Local Burger. If you want a good burger, I highly recommend you try it if you haven't already. Also, this is a small business so better to support them than the big, corporate chains that only care about money.“

“I just need to inform everyone that the Mediterranean wrap is absolute crack. The sauce that it comes it is amazing, the wrap is amazing and decently sized and priced. I didn’t even know that this place existed and I drove past all my way to work deciding that I would try it. I’m so happy I did and got the Mediterranean wrap because it truly was so so good. I highly recommend.“

“What can i say is this is a friendly local pub with great people inside . Steve is a wonderful gentleman who is loved by his patrons simply because he cares about you ❤️.Kim behind the bar is a warm and charming lady who again makes you feel at home.I recommend this place based on the people who patronize the place and people who work there.Karoke is the bomb every Thursday night you wont be disappointed !!!!!!“

“Love this place! Come here often for lunch during my lunch break and order breakfast for my family on DoorDash a lot. The staff are wonderful and food is always amazing and made/delivered quickly! I always recommend them to anyone looking for great breakfast/bagels/and or lunch who are local!“

“Never truly have been a fan of bagels, but stumbling upon this gem has changed that. Staff is always sweet no matter who I get, owner is always present and ready to step in when busy and check in with customers. Environment is always clean and presentable. Now let’s talk about their Asiago toasted cheese bagel with bacon scallion cream cheese! Amazing! All their bagels are delicious and always fresh. They have a variety of specialty bagels which are always fun to try out and make a great breakfast sandwich out of. 5 stars are fully deserved, thank you Bigger Bagel!“

“I ate here after a long day of work. And I had the best experience ever. The server Emily was very nice and helpful. And made sure I got my food on time and well made. She is there to work and work only. And I appreciate a server like that. Excellent service.“

“We have had a couple of our regular haunts for sushi, and had a menu from the mail from Mizu, so we ordered to-go. The selection was better than many of the surrounding sushi joints in nearby towns, and it the rolls were better overall. Prices were a bit less, but it also helps that they give a 10% discount for online ordering. And, online they also gave a free appetizer if you were over $50. The garlic roll was interesting, and unique, and the menu has a decent number of non-tempura (fried) cooked rolls which is a nice change also. Inside the restaurant there was only a couple of tables, so they probably do most business to-go.“

“My friends and I really enjoyed our delicious meals at this gem of a restaurant. Service was excellent. The Korean fried cauliflower appetizer is wonderful! The filet mignon was top-notch. The bowties with seafood special was outrageous! Desserts were absolutely fantastic. We will be back!“

“Excellent food and staff was awesome!“

“This place is amazing! They are compassionate and empathic. We should have more of you around.So I live in Texas, and my father in law was admitted in the hospital for a life threatening condition. I was trying to order food for family member that was taking care of my father in law in the hospital. I tried to use Uber eat but all effort was abortive.Then I google this beautiful hero place, when I called, I was told that they don’t deliver, but when I explained my situation, they told me they will take my order and they will deliver the food to the hospital. They exceeded my expectations, they broke protocol just to make sure my family member ate. Thank you so much! You are a true definition of serving the community where you transact business.“

“I have been coming here for years. Every single time I have gotten nothing but fresh and delish grilled chicken ! The gyros are to die for. The spinach pie is out of this world. The people are so friendly and kind. The place is always so clean. I highly highly highly recommend this place !!!“

“Amazing Pizza! Nice and crispy and delicious. This will be our new go to spot! 🍕“

“there customer service is a trip ! been waiting over an hour for a slice when they told me 30 mins. unbelievable this is the last time I will order from here.“
