50 Best Salad Restaurants near Tonawanda

“Good food and friendly service with decent specials and decent prices.“

“There’s something to be said about a place that doesn’t chase every new trend but instead focuses on getting the fundamentals right—and this restaurant does just that. From the moment you walk in, there's an unpretentious charm. The ambiance isn’t trying too hard; it feels lived-in, in a comforting way, like it’s been part of the community for years.
Service was timely and polite. You won’t find over-the-top presentation here, but the warmth and attention to detail are very real. Our server remembered small requests and had a great sense of timing when it came to checking in.
The menu isn’t massive, which I see as a plus. They do fewer things, but they do them well. Everything we ordered came out exactly as described, and there’s a clear consistency in how the kitchen approaches flavor and preparation. Even the side dishes felt intentional.
There’s a casual rhythm to how everything flows—from the greeting at the door to the final check. It feels genuine and steady, which is why I’ve come to trust it as a go-to.
If you want a dependable place with character, one that won’t let you down, this one checks all the boxes.“

“I love this Panera! It's one of my go-to spots when I want something quick but still fresh and satisfying.

I love the variety on the menu—especially the soups and salads. The sandwiches are always tasty and made with quality ingredients.

The atmosphere is cozy, great for working or catching up with a friend.

The area is very nice & the outdoor seats are good!

Enjoy your meal! ;)“

“Good evening! I could not go to bed tonight without acknowledging the fabulous service my two friends and I received at the Acropolis on Main Street. Our server Anthony C was outstanding! All three of us commented that we could not remember a time where we had such an attentive server that was also entertaining and gracious. You are blessed and lucky to have some like him on your team. We do a monthly dinner on Main Street and are already planning on coming back to Acropolis for our September dinner (if we can find out when Anthony C is working!) Thank you Anthony for a night of fabulous service and great laughs!!“

“I took my son for his birthday and was very pleased. Everything was delicious.“

“Everything was great and cheaper cost than a chicken sandwich combo elsewhere. Fresh chicken made to order, not frozen. Great sauces and fries too! Staff was friendly and helpful! Highly recommend!“

“My husband and I had dinner here last weekend for our wedding anniversary. The atmosphere is fantastic. Warm chill vibe and everyone is so pleased to be there. Our waiter Johnathan was AMAZING! Attentive answered any and all questions and had us laughing the whole time! The young lady at the hostess stand was amazing as well. She never missed a step even as the people kept coming. Cora (oh I hope I spelled that right) was also an absolute delight! She was so sweet and friendly and just handled everything so gracefully. As someone who works in the industry I was just so over the moon with every thing that I experienced while in this restaurant. 10 out of 10 DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!!!“

“Place is amazing. Food is always great. Great specials. Portions are always big and the price is reasonable. Staff is just so darn nice as well! I go every week basically!“

“I am visiting this wonderful restaurant for the second time all the way from New York, and I truly want to say that such exceptional service and such delicious food are rare — even in New York City.

Today I had an absolutely incredible beet and shrimp salad. It was perfectly balanced, fresh, and full of flavor. I highly recommend it!

Grace provided the highest level of service — attentive, professional, and genuinely warm. She made the experience even more special.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I’m already looking forward to my next visit and will be more than happy to return again💖

This is the best restaurant in Buffalo, in my opinion🙏“

“Love the Shuck Shack oyster offering.“

“Everything is delicious! Shawarma, fluffy falafel, creamy hummus, salads - all amazing. And the nicest, most welcoming staff.“

“I wish I could give Two Nines Kitchen more than just 5 stars especially our server, Heather!! She was awesome and so on top of all our needs! The food and the atmosphere were fantastic too!! But let’s be honest, there are a ton of great options to choose from in Buffalo! It’s the quality of your staff that keeps people coming back and Heather exemplifies it!! Two Nines Kitchen has hit it out of the park on all counts, we will definitely be back & will ask for Heather again for sure!!“

“This place is delicious. They are always fast and friendly and their sauces are amazing.“

“Let me tell you how amazing The Riverfield is! We had our twins baptism dinner here in the backroom and had the absolute best experience ever from start to finish! Allison made everything so simple and easy for me to plan with her to celebrate our boys with family and friends. She was extremely accommodating with all our requests, as we had some with food allergies. The room is gorgeous and perfect even better his had an outdoor space with a view! The kids loved being able to run around outside. The food was so good you have to have seconds! The slow roasted beef brisket is a dream that you will crave over and over again on top of their roasted potatoes. Don’t let that statement fool you, all the food was delish so make sure your try it all and get seconds. Hats off to the Chef! The atmosphere was perfect. Before we even left I told my husband we will be having another party here for sure! Thank you Allison and The Riverfield 865 for helping us create a beautiful celebration and memory for our family! See you soon!“

“This place has excellent food and Carl is a true gem of the food service industry.“

“When in Buffalo this restaurant is a must, I am a steak lover, tonight I would say I had the best steak in my 72 years of my life. The NY 14oz was unbelievable. My compliments to the chef. Our server Jimmy, knows how to give helpful suggestions and great service. If I had the choice to pick higher than 5 stars, I would for sure pick higher. We were a party of two.“

“Strawberry boba 🧋 tea was so good! I had the chicken fried dumplings and chicken spring rolls.“

“The food was outstanding! Service amazing! Beautifully remodeled, my husband and I will definitely be back ????“

“I’ve been there twice and never had a bad experience. The servers are always very friendly and fast, and the restaurant is very clean. The breadsticks come out first, always soft and well seasoned. Something I like to do is to dip the breadsticks in the Chicken & Gnocchi soup. The salad came out fast too and was also great. I always get a classic Alfredo and my favorite Creamy Mushroom sauce with my pasta. So much that I even learned how to make the Creamy Mushroom sauce at home! I just wish they have the Never Ending Pasta event all year round. Because other than that, I don’t really find Olive Garden to be affordable or a good deal for pasta, something very easy to make at home.“

“Very friendly and great food! I was given a sample, of the roasted pepper soup, It is awesome! I highly recommend.“

“The sweet sauce is addicting. I love the pizza but that meatball bomber is just amazing“

“This has become my go to lunch place. The bowls are VERY large considering the price. The ingredients are fresh and delicious. I can have my bowl created and be out the door often times in less than 5 minutes. The staff is very chill. I have been coming here 2 - 3 times a week now because it just makes sense!“

“😁🍕😋🥖🍤👨‍🍳🥗🍺🍷🍗🌯 SO MUCH MORE! JOIN US!“

“My husband and my family come here all the time. It is always spot on and the service is always amazing! Was just there for breakfast today and it was so good and the waitress was so nice. Keep up the great work, you’re always busy for good reasons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Orders are always correct and the food is delicious. Hard to beat!“

“Just had our end of year pinochle party here. Most wonderful staff- friendly, attentive and accurate! Food- delicious, reasonable, large portions and many , many choices! Space is clean, comfortable, so pleasant! Love this restaurant!“

“I've only had a handful of poor experiences here since the day they opened the (original) restaurant. I ordered the tuna sandwich as a melt, never had an issue before. this time, they (Tiffany) told me since I asked for it as a melt it would be $3.75 for a piece of lettuce on it, and another $3.75 for a tomato slice on each half of the melt. Both of which come on the tuna sandwich which is what's on the menu. (One would think they would only charge for the cheese, since it was asked for as a melt) The greek potatoes were over cooked mush, and I ended up taking them home, only to throw them out. Disappointing overall experience.“

“Just had the slice and salad lunch combo from the Union Rd. location. Very good.“

“Good customer service and great food“

“great beef on weck and buffalo wings highly recommend if going to a sporting event or show“

“Absolutely amazing! The staff was so friendly! The food was amazing! I got the pot roast on a kimmelweck hoagie. It was the BEST I’ve ever had! My girls got the steak sandwiches and they were so tender and seasoned well! The beer battered fish fry was amazing too! 11/10! Highly recommend“

“Lola’s Bakeshop at The Lunch Box, inside the Lafayette Court Building, has the best pastries, cookies, and other baked goods. They always have top notch standards, like chocolate chip and peanut butter, but they also offer creative options like London Fog Lavender cookies or Dubai Chocolate Pistachio brownies. Also amazing gluten free options. The Lunch Box makes one of the best breakfast burritos I’ve ever had.“

“Everything I've ever tried at Mayback's has been delicious. From the breakfast pizza to the regular pizza. This is one of the only places in the 716 that makes good chicken fingers (the honey mustard ones are divine) and a good cheese steak. The fish fry is the best I've had in years. If you want a real treat try the turkey sub with pickles and extra meat. The freshest salads I've ever had. Food is amazing, prices are great, and everyone who works there is friendly. They've got something for everyone. Easily my favorite place to get food in Buffalo.“

“Another awesome experience, our server was Lexi and she was amazing, knew how to joke around and took our antics in stride. Extremely courteous, attentive, friendly and made our dining experience a great one. We we’re at the Transit location a month prior for a club dinner and had a great time then too. If you go and have either Lexi or Lydia as your server - just know you’re going to have a great time! They both went above and beyond. Food was good, service was incredible. Our visit was only disappointing in the fact that we had to leave. I don’t eat out often but the last 2 times I’ve chosen Olive Garden on Transit and do not regret it at all. Hopefully those servers are there the next time we go!“

“Very accommodating and friendly staff! Chill atmosphere & clean!“

“The absolute BEST pizza we have ever had. Ordering and waiting did kinda feel like waiting in a gymnasium full of high school kids. They were busy yes, but there was a lot of just leaning and chatting too. The flavor and quality of the pizza made up for it.

Dietary restrictions: Best gluten free crust ever! However, on our salad , they weren't familiar with the ingredients of the dressing.“

“Good customer service and great food“

“The Fish Fry was absolutely Amazing!!!“

“First time visiting here, I just wanted to explore the beauty of the place. Second time here, I definitely had to try their take on my favourite dessert - the cinnamon roll. I bought it with a hot chai tea latte. One word to describe my breakfast treat would be outstanding! Theo does a wonderful job inviting and bringing in warm hospitality, too. Chef's kiss, I'll gladly return! Keep up the great work!“

“We’ve had the pleasure of working beside Fresh Catch Poke for special events. Professional team, with fresh, amazing food! Highly recommend them for your private event.“

“Extremely professional staff, immaculate dining facility and superb food choices. Most of the restaurants in Western New York should take training from these student chefs and servers who are training to be in the profession of culinary arts. My wife and I were extremely impressed with the entire presentation and culinary experience. As food connoisseurs and travelers across the country, visiting different food establishments, I am proud and honored to call this place part of our hometown. I'm honored that my daughter is also graduating from Buffalo State College.“

“we found this place a cpl weeks ago and have ordered from at least 2x a week now. my favorite is their massive burger. it is so dam big I can only eat 1/2 and save the other. but their mini fried doughs are out of this world!!! They're like mini clouds of powdery chewy air. legit my favorite place.“

“Are waitress Lucy was fabulous. The food was delicious.“

“Has Pizza Heist been tasting like Penora's Pizza? 🤮 Or is it just me?“

“My parents, husband, and I took our 2.5 year old and 14m old here for lunch today for the first time and had a great meal. Excellent service. Very reasonable pricing. Adorable little place. We will absolutely be returning!“

“We stopped for breakfast on 5/2/23 with my elderly father after a Drs visit. Very friendly waitress and a group of Men who worked at GENERAL Mills were gathering, enjoying themselves. We enjoyed our breakfast and went to collect our bill only to find out that one of the gentleman paid for our breakfast!! I want to send our thanks and appreciation for your kind gratitude, Sir! Restoration of Faith in the Good of People! Pay it Forward!“

“My daughter and I stumbled on this place by accident. We were driving around, looking for a place to eat. Today was our second time dining there. The waitresses are professional yet friendly. The food is amazing and it seems to be a nice, family friendly place for a meal, a snack or dessert.“

“Just had the slice and salad lunch combo from the Union Rd. location. Very good.“

“Upon entering, I was thoroughly impressed by the elegant dining room. I was promptly greeted, and my order was taken with precision. I selected the chicken finger dinner, while my wife chose the fish fry dinner. Both dishes were exceptional. Unfortunately, my nephew consumed the majority of my meal, though I did manage to enjoy a few bites. We will certainly be ordering from this establishment again.“

“the vanilla custard is the best very creamy delicious“
