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! ;)“

“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!“

“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!!!“

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

“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!!“

“We just had dinner tonight at 2 Nines with another couple and had a great experience. It was a Tuesday night so they had a very good band playing music on the patio. The four of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals and were very impressed with our server (Denielle) who was very knowledgeable and attentive. We would highly recommend this spot!“

“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!“

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

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

“Laura was amazing! Thank you for your great hospitality - 5 Stars!

Food was good but nothing special and definitely not worth the price - 4 Stars!

1 toilette for about 40 men? I had to wait and two other guys also had to wait. On top the toilette needed about 5 min to refill so that I could flush! Seriously, take action and change something!“

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

“We went for dinner this week at this wonderful restaurant.
The server was very knowledgeable and attentive.
I chose the roast chicken it was excellent.
Even though I was full my husband and I shared the raspberry chocolate cake a large slice with whipped cream and berries it was delicious.
I Look forward to retuning on our next trip to Downtown Buffalo.“

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

“We had a pretty good experience at Olive Garden overall. We started with the calamari, followed by the salad and gnocchi soup. For the mains, we had the Tour of Italy with chicken parmigiana, fettuccine Alfredo, and lasagna, as well as the shrimp and chicken carbonara.

Everything tasted good and the portions were generous. The service was extremely fast, and the customer service was stellar.

The only thing I’d say they could improve on is the pasta, it was noticeably overcooked and too soft for my liking.

The cleanliness could also use some attention. The table felt sticky, and the washroom could have been cleaner.

Overall, it was an enjoyable meal with great customer service, very fast service.“

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

“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“

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

“Franco's Pizza and subs are among the very best in our area. The pizza crust is perfect, the sauce is authentic and loaded with delicious mozzarella and pepperoni.
Sub sandwiches are the best in our area.
Service is always customer focused and friendly.
Franco's is our top choice for pizza and subs!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“The Fish Fry was absolutely Amazing!!!“

“Oh my goodness!!! I am visiting for work and I really enjoyed this place. First off the guy with the ear gauges is so nice and engaging. He made the visit even better. I tried the peanut butter cookie, brown butter chocolate chip, bacon egg and cheese brioche, and the coffee cake. O.M.G the brioche was delicious and perfectly sized for the price. The peanut butter cookie was phenomenal!!! Like actually shockingly good. The brown butter cookie was good, and the coffee cake was just okay to me. I will 100% be back for the brioche and peanut butter cookie. Thank you!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“So this is my first time going to this establishment. The person that waited on me was wonderful. My only complaint is that the person that waited on someone after me took their money with gloves on and then handled their food with the same gloves on. They were about to handle my food next but I completely put a stop to that. I think they'll remember not to do that
in the future.. at least I hope so 👍“

“The 14-in cheesesteak sub was very good. It was hot and customized correctly. Curbside pickup was difficult to find, but worked out very well once I was there. My only complaint about the entire process, tthe sub really could have used more toppings on it. The peppers were a bit sparse, the mushrooms were even harder to find. Other than that, it was a good experience.“

“Always friendly staff and excellent pitas made to your liking. Only 1 employee at a time is working, so please be patient if there are multiple customers.

Dietary restrictions: Made to order so you can choose items to suit dietary restrictions and dietary preferences like vegetarian.“

“I got the ranch parm BLT salad stuffer and they are so delicious. These are my new favorite from Panera. I ordered ahead for pickup. As always the service was still friendly and fast. Clean restaurant.
Run and try one of these salad stuffers yourself. You won't regret it.“

“Food was good. Great specials.“
