50 Best Salad Restaurants in Cincinnati

“We had dinner at Ivory House on 3/21. It was an absolutely delightful dining experience. The food was superb. The staff was welcoming and worked hard to ensure we had a very pleasant dining experience. We will most definitely return.“

“Oh this little green devil, you have officially bewitched me. For years I have traveled to Cincinnati and as a creature of habit I had a salad from the Westin. My lunches were gloriously filled with mixed greens, tantalizing salad accoutrements, and finished with the finest ranch dressing north of the Mason Dixon line. Absolute perfection in every bite. Then covid comes, the world changes and so does my salad, yet I still remain loyal. Then one day this little green devil comes to temp me. At first glance, things seemed a little too boujee for my taste, but I am in a hurry and I roll with it. What is this??? New found glorious perfection in every bite? The world restored in a post covid era. Thanks Green District!“

“Came here on a slow December Tuesday night before a show at the Woodward Theater. It was a wonderful experience! We just sat at the bar for convenience & the bartender was super attentive, quick, & friendly. GM came out to say hi & check on us. Super friendly & easy to chat with. He seemed very sociable, but also kept the place running very smoothly. The restaurant itself was beautiful: clean & very cute! Oh, & the music was perfect too!Food was delicious. We got lots of different tacos, salsas, & guacamole. Everything was very fresh & warm.“

“Super friendly and helpful staff. Only my second time to Currito but I was impressed! Very flavorful food. The employee was very helpful in a recommendation of a dish. Try the Carolina Gold bowl with extra ranch - chicken. You won't go wrong!“

“Mouthwatering and delicious. Drove 20 minutes just to try this place. We will definitely be back. They only have two small tables outside so plan for take out! Best pizza I’ve had in Cincinnati.“

“Absolutely fantastic! The burgers and chicken are a 10 and the atmosphere is comfortable and welcoming. An absolute must-visit restaurant.“

“Always recommend to folks for a quick lunch and convenient option. All the sandwiches are great! I also ordered catering for a small get together. They were reasonably priced and everyone loved it! Will be my go-to for get togethers. They are also super helpful when ordering from the deli. 10/10 would rate higher if possible.“

“Delicious food, the menu is constantly rotating so you're never bored with it. Very cute dine-in area, very friendly and fast service. Soups are fantastic. Only thing that wasn't great was one of the few different chicken salads they've had on the menu, just wasn't that flavorful. No knocking Allez because everything else has been incredible. Kudos

Edit: new stuff is amazing. Peach gazpacho is nuts. Every time I go I'm smiling over each and every bite. The sandwiches are awesome but I highly recommend the soups and salads that rotate frequently. They're usually listed towards the top of the menu and never disappointed.“

“Great atmosphere and one of the best burgers and craft cocktails I have tried!“

“great food. my grandson loved it“

“Very good food and very good wait staff. Not quite a five star rating due to a little glitch at the hostess station. It looked like they were training a new hostess. As a result, the hostess's focus was on training and not on incoming patrons.“

“Food is so good! Tried the new avocado chop salad today and it's my new fave!“

“This was my first time ever visiting a currito so I was kind of expecting a Chipotle vibe. There was a nice selection of food options for all different lifestyles. The building itself was super clean and all the employees seemed very knowledgeable and put together. I will definitely be back!“

“I called and preordered the oxtail when I was visiting my daughter. They were delicious, we also ordered the chicken jerk bowl and plate and the stir fry . We were not disappointed food was amazing, service was great. I’ll definitely stop by again next time I come for a visit !! Don’t forget to preorder the Oxtails or you’ll miss out! They are only available certain days !“

“Kid friendly with delicious pizza. The guys making the pizza in the back can be seen through a glass shield and they definitely seem like they’re happy to perform the act of making the pizza for the hungry guests. Though you won’t be hungry for long. The pizzas are thin crust and delicious.“

“Great food and drink! Would go back again!“

“Great food! TheStone Buenaveza Salt & Lime Lager was a great beer!“

“I really enjoy supporting small local businesses like this place. Great, friendly staff! Love this place!“

“Love this place! The food was yummy but most importantly, it was the staff and customer service that was outstanding! Darryl and Felicia served us with a smile! Darryl made me the best egg white panini and Felicia was the cherry on top! The restaurant was convenient to our hotel, The Marriott.“

“Eat here about once a month for lunch while working downtown.

Even if you go right at 12, the line might be out the door, but it moves so fast. Not only the line, but the food as well. You’ll still get your food wicked fast.

It’s always good and always hot. The workers as always nice as well which is a bonus“

“Food needed salt and wasn't saucy enough, otherwise good. 3.5/5.

It is a good looking place, but it was pretty cold, which we found out was because we sat right below the AC vent. 4/5.

It was pretty busy so our waitress was running around the place stressed cause they gave her too many tables, but she did great! Give Kelsie a raise! 5/5.“

“That pic on the home page isn't staged.....your pizza comes out exactly like that! Great pizza!!“

“I love Dewey's! I usually go for lunch when there's not that much business but I did manage to stop by during the evening and it was packed! Very consistent, I never have an issue with our pizza and the servers are very friendly. One of my favorite pizza places.“

“This location in Oakley is amazing! We arrived around 11:15 a.m. for lunch on my baby's 18th birthday. Our waitress named TAI was super! She was very attentive, patient, polite, prompt, compassionate, and so much more! The food was delicious and the atmosphere was great. I want to give her a shout out for her awesome service! TAI WE GREATLY APPRECIATE YOU, YOU'RE AWESOME AND KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK. We will request you for future service. I definitely recommend this location and the waitress (Tai) ☺️“

“Eggcellent food and fast service! Highly recommended! 5 out of 5 !“

“Izzy's is one of our guilty pleasures! Since we're both retired and we don't eat out as often, we'll stop in to Izzy's occasionally. Hubby loves the beef barley soup and I love many of the sandwiches and potato cakes. It's a bit more than we like to spend for lunch but we consider it a great treat for all of our years of hard work! ?“

“Great food and great staff! I love the atmosphere. Definitely check them out. You can also catch FCC games there.“

“Love the food and the staff was amazing. The manager, I think her name was deja, was very helpful. It was like she had a sixth sense that I didn't have any idea what I wanted or what they even served. Tbh I thought it was an Asian restaurant lol. Give it a try.“

“They got the best wings and sauce in the city and top notch customer services one of my favorite places don’t forget to try they lemonade only if you like it sweet tho“

“Very very good pizza and salad!! Such a treat!!“

“Very welcome, took the family here for our daughters 4th birthday our server (Max) went above and beyond for our family. For the first time being here was very nice.“

“Cincinnati is an interesting pizza town. Our claim to fame, as it were, is regional chain LaRosa’s. Its success cannot be denied, but surf any Reddit thread or Facebook thread discussing Cincinnati pizza, and you’ll find a particular disdain for our hometown pizzeria, with most negative comments saying it’s overrated, the sauce is too sweet, or it smells of feet/vomit. Yes really. Our other regional chain with some notoriety is Dewey’s, a more “upscale” style pizza joint that appeals to hipsters and families. The seasonal Tito Santana taco pizza is a revelation. Dewey’s also has its detractors citing price as the main complaint. The rest of the scene is local chains like Angilos and Grammas serving serviceable “homestyle” pizzas and steak hoagies, a handful of wood-fired pizza places, and an even smaller handful of New York-style pie places. And of course national chains like Domino’s and Pizza Hut. Among the crowded scene is Lucy Blue. A local micro chain with two locations serving something between Angilo’s and Dewey’s. Lucy Blue built it reputation with pizza windows in downtown and Mt. Lookout. More recently, their two locations are in the suburbs of Anderson Township and in the always-happening Over the Rhine area in the urban basin. Lucy Blue’s menu skews more toward Dewey’s than Gramma’s. Just two pages featuring standard pizzas and expected toppings, fresh salads, a few sandwiches including the requisite steak hoagie and a few appetizers. Missing is the litany of fried items that crowd Angilo’s and Grammas menus. The focus here is on freshness and simplicity. And fresh is what you get. In spades. Every item we’ve tried has been fresh and high quality. The crust is bready and structurally sound. The sauce is fresh and tomatoey. The cheese has a bite and pull that you’d expect from higher quality pizza kitchens. Toppings like pepperoni, sausage, and veggies all seem high quality and tasty. The steak hoagie is much better than the sloppy, buttery messes you get at most places. The meat was tasty and the toppings were crisp and plentiful. The breadsticks were very good. They were short but heavy and flavorful, and the sauce accompanying them was chunky and flavorful. There is a tiny spicy bite to everything, including the delicious ranch dressing. Overall, Lucy Blue is an excellent option among Cincinnati’s many pizza spots. The food is fresh and tasty.“

“great food. my grandson loved it“

“Not only do they always deliver great food but I needed to add 20 more people to our order last minute and they made it happen. Highly recommend“

“I am in town on business, and was STOKED to find healthy, good, fast food 2 min from my hotel. So good in fact this is my 3rd meal in my 3 night 4 day stay.I really wish my neighborhood in Louisville KY had as many healthy quick options. Or any really, we have zip.And Jimmy Carter is delish ?“

“Just ate here an there were these two very kind an very fast and hard working 15 year old boys who gave me a good pizza!! this was on Wednesday!!! 10/10 great“

“So good! The meat in the gyro is so tender and well seasoned, they really pack it full too so you get your money's worth! Reasonable price for a meal, staff was very friendly, it was awesome. It was our first time going and we want to go back for more to try the rest of the menu.“

“Everything was very nice. We were seated quickly, our server was fantastic, the prices were reasonable, and the food was very good. I thought the marinara sauce was a little watery, but it had nice flavor. Overall, we had a good time and would go back again.

Vegetarian options: I had the eggplant parmesan, and it was really good.“

“I recently used Kitchen 1883 to provide food options for a party that I had and it was wildly successful. The Caulisprouts were just about everyone’s favorite, but I got so many compliments on the pulled pork w/Tabasco slaw and the Greek wraps (it was a great vegetarian option)too! The team that worked with me to deliver and set up the food was incredible. So friendly and helpful, definitely went above and beyond!“

“Vegetarian options: Do not get any meat products if vegetarian

Dietary restrictions: Vegan, dairy, and other generic restrictions

Parking: Pickup, Curbside, Special Accessible Parking, normal parking

Kid-friendliness: Kid choices in menu and desserts“

“The food is good at this location, the store is well kept, and the customer service is always great. Shout out to manager Joshua Fisher and crew. There's another location in my neighborhood, with terrible service, so I drive out of my way to visit the Hartwell location.“

“The restaurant is clean and cozy, and the service was prompt and very friendly. I read a lot of reviews before I decided to try Izzy's, and I'm honestly confused by the bad ones. Mostly people complain the "sandwiches aren't stuffed like a NYC deli sandwich." I had a reuben in NYC a couple of months ago. Yep, it was definitely "stuffed", and it cost me $28!!!!! I also read the potato pancakes are "greasy". Well, as I do at home, I pressed mine between a few napkins, and viola!! - not greasy!!
I ordered a grilled, pastrami "Reubenator". It was plenty stuffed with tender meat, tasty sauerkraut and a nice sauce, on crispy bread. It was a big handful of awesome sandwich! The potato pancake was crisp and delicious. With an iced tea, my meal was only $18. I guarantee that it something you will not find in NYC!
EXCELLENT meal, served by very nice, polite and friendly people, in a clean and cozy restaurant. I'll be back. A lot.“

“The food tastes good and is made quickly and efficiently. I like how the food tastes wholesome and fresh because of the vegetable options you can add to your bowl. In addition, this restaurant is a great option for vegetarians and vegans.

Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian options which are clearly labeled, and as a vegetarian you can get a good amount of protein to have a balanced meal.“

“We order takeout from this location frequently, and always use the app (gotta get those reward points)! Our order is usually ready by the time we walk in the door. Tip - If you place a big order online, they keep those behind the counter and not in the carryout order area. I always order a bowl, today I ordered:1. Mediterranean - If you like brown rice and vegetables, this is the order for you. (5/5 ?)2. The Carolina is my favorite bowl and my usual order. ❤️I highly recommend everyone try Currito!“

“I ordered the Angus beef hamburger & it was one of the best I’ve had in Cincinnati & definitely the best that I have had at that price point. I liked the way they had the pickles & Dijon mustard on the side, I used both & the pickles seemed homemade. My side was coleslaw & that was delish as well. I ordered online for pickup & even though they had a lot of cars in the drive through, my order was made quickly. I definitely recommend!!“

“very friendly staff very good food“

“Friendly service, very clean, great family place and delicious food!“

“Had a BLT craving and McAlisters was the answer. Lots of bacon and the sweet tea is legendary.

Parking: Depending on the time and day, you may need to walk a bit. There is an area up close for take out orders.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access for all“

“My children and I love going to this Chick-fil-A. They are beyond accommodating; especially with my Son's food allergies. They will give grilled chicken nuggets to my Son who has food allergies so that he too can enjoy and I don't have to make multiple food stops. This is beyond appreciated. Highly recommend to all!!“

“Stephen’s and my 50th Anniversary was fabulous. What a great evening with our family. The food was excellent, very creative. Service was impeccable. We were treated like royalty. Thank you David and Liz.“
