36 Best Salad Restaurants near Smyrna

“Mila was super attentive, she checked in on us, her customer service was top notch. She told us it was only her second day serving and I never would’ve guessed that. She was amazing. I came here for my birthday dinner with my son and we will be asking for her going forward!“

“Their food is absolutely perfect. As I just told my kids, this is my new birthday meal.“

“That you can buy pizza by the slice i have been a customer for 45 years when they started out in the food garden at Hickory Hollow mall.“

“A brief story: Our family doesn’t live in Smyrna. However, my wife had our baby in Smyrna and we ended up being stuck in the NICU for two weeks. During this time my generous father (pictured on left) offered to get us food every day since my wife stayed at the hospital with our baby.

We’re so thankful to have found Penn Station Smyrna because not only did we have great food during a troubling time, but we started to notice encouraging notes and cookies added to our meals. We probably had 10 meals over the course of 15 days.

We specifically want to shout out and thank Trinity and Elijah for their service, hospitality, and care over those two+ weeks.

After getting home with our baby we made it a goal to go back and visit in person (and of course order some more food 😎). We are so thankful for this little sandwich shop. The team brought us joy, encouragement, surprise, and delicious sustenance while we were in a tough stretch as a family. We didn’t know we needed Penn Station Smyrna but they really went above and beyond. We’re so thankful!“

“Literally the best Panera I’ve ever been at. Jessica, Nathalie, Karla, Alis, and Rubio are some of the most hardworking and well mannered young employees. From the moment I walked into the store till the moment I left they displayed the best customer service and care! Would highly recommend the Smyrna Panera to friends and family.“

“I always have a great experience at this Chick-fil-A. The staff is incredibly nice, always helpful, and they make every visit feel welcoming. The food is consistently great, and the service is fast and reliable. Definitely one of the best locations around.“

“My all time favorite Zaxbys location!! The staff are so personable and helpful. The managers Jayli and Phillip are so wonderful and caring. The food is always good and the facility is super clean. One of the shift leads Shania (I think) was very attentive and helped me when my order was incorrect. 5/5 stars all around!!“

“Just left there. Will definitely be back. Great food and sweet people. Love it“

“Penne Pazze has become one of my favorite spots. We found it on a seed oil free app and decided to try it out. We come at least once a week now. All the dishes have lots of flavor. The Honey Pepperoni Pinsa is my go-to for a quick bite. I haven't met everyone but I can say Riccardo, Luke, Adalyn and Maddie have made my experience at Penne Pazze top tier every time. It's easy to order with the QR code at the table and I am never left waiting for my tab because I can close it out at my convenience. My favorite place to sit is at the bar. It's a front row seat to all the action going on in the kitchen. It is a casual and fun atmosphere with delicious food. I’m so glad we found it.“

“I stopped in last week for my first time and was impressed with the atmosphere, great food and delivery . I could not get the fried salmon roll off of my mind so I came in again today . The same exact service - I’m highly impressed . Phillip the owner introduced himself I can tell he loves his staff and his restaurant by the way he speaks of it . If you’re looking for a quick bite or even an adult beverage and spending some time with your friends with good fun and a chill atmosphere . This is the spot 10/10 recommended“

“We ordered from Joanie's for the first time today and it will NOT be the last time! We had 5 orders and they were all delicious! You definitely get your money's worth! 5⭐️“

“We have enjoyed Newk’s at The Avenue in Murfreesboro since they opened. Great food and a nice atmosphere. However, it’s time to remodel the bathrooms or at the very least a deep detailed clean and some repairs. They are absolutely disgusting and have been for years. I remember when those bathrooms were brand new and they were actually very nice bathrooms. The lack of attention to these bathrooms makes you wonder what other cleaning they are cutting corners on.“

“I used to be a loyal Papa John's customer till I tried Blaze Pizza! Their pizzas are made in front of you and super fast! Plus they are delicious! Their curbside service is great and efficient!

I've had an issue with my order once and management was amazing! They reached out promptly and made it right! They have gained a loyal customer who appreciates the great food and customer service!“

“So far everyone we’ve met that works here is phenomenal! Great atmosphere and vibe. Sheila makes great cocktails😋, Austin, Justin, Ryan, and Brandon are all super attentive to their customers. Highly recommend!“

“This is a super mediterranean resteraunt with good food and reasonably quick service in a clean dining area. We spent 2 years living in Turkey and their Turkish meatballs are the real deal! The lamb gyro was also great. We dropped in on a Sunday evening and plan to return.“

“Delicious food! Excellent place to have lunch!“

“From the moment we walked into Olive Garden in Murfreesboro this Good Friday, we knew the evening was going to be special, but we had no idea just how memorable it would become. What started as a simple family dinner quickly turned into an experience we’ll be talking about for a long time, and that is largely because of our incredible server, Shawna.

Shawna didn’t just serve our table, she genuinely cared for us. Her kindness felt natural and sincere, not rushed or routine, even in the middle of what was clearly a very busy evening. She took the time to walk us through the menu with thoughtful suggestions, helping us confidently choose dishes that ended up being absolutely perfect for our family. It wasn’t just about taking an order, it felt like she was helping us create a great experience.

What truly stood out was her attentiveness. Shawna seemed to anticipate our needs before we even realized them ourselves. Drinks were refreshed right on time, extra items appeared just when we needed them, and everything flowed so smoothly that we were able to fully relax and enjoy each other’s company. That kind of service is rare, especially on a night as busy as Good Friday.

And then came dessert, her recommendations were nothing short of incredible. Each one was better than the last, and it turned what could have been the end of a meal into one of the most enjoyable highlights of the night. We found ourselves lingering longer, savoring every bite and every moment.

Beyond Shawna, the entire team contributed to such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The hostess staff greeted us with genuine friendliness that set the tone right away, and the manager and team worked together so seamlessly that it was honestly impressive to watch. Even from our table, you could feel the strong sense of teamwork and pride in what they do. The kitchen absolutely delivered as well, every dish was prepared beautifully and tasted fantastic.

Most importantly, this dinner was a birthday celebration for our family, and thanks to Shawna and the entire Olive Garden team, it became so much more than just a meal. It felt meaningful, joyful, and truly special, exactly the kind of experience you hope for but don’t always find.

We left feeling grateful, taken care of, and already hoping that the next time we visit, we’ll be lucky enough to have Shawna as our server again. Experiences like this are what keep people coming back, and we will absolutely be back.

“We were looking forward to eating at Hank's because of the reviews, but unfortunately our experience wasn't a good one. there were three of us and all three meals were disappointing. My husband ordered a BLT that definitely was nothing special. it was a very small sandwich with little substance. He did say they onion rings were good. I ordered a cheeseburger well done with mayo, hold the bbq sauce, and french fries. My burger came with no cheese, no mayo, no lettuce or tomato. When I brought it to the server's attention she went and got a slice of cheese from the kitchen and brought it to me on a plate along with a little cup of mayo. The cheese had obviously come out of the cooler. After taking a couple of bites I realized that the burger was very pink inside, almost raw. Again, I told our server and she apologized and offered to have another one made. I declined. I do have to say they have really good french fries. My son ordered the special, pulled pork nachos. my husband was almost done with his meal by the time they arrived and I had stopped eating mine. The nachos came with burnt chips and a glow of lettuce, salsa and sour cream and very little pulled pork. It was so unappetizing to look at. My son ate a few bites and I ate some but between the two of us we did not finish it, it wasn't a large plate to begin with. We will not be going back and we won't be recommending Hank's unfortunately even though we were given a discount. I'm unable to add photos or I would, I put them in the comments.“

“Anytime I’ve gone here the customer service is great, they’re very timely getting your food ‘freshly made’ to order and served out to you. Food is always great. I love their falafel!“

“I ordered 45 deli sliders and 45 beefeater sliders for our garden club meeting. Food was great, delivery was on time and the Tommy, the delivery guy was very polite and checked all details of the order with me. He offered to set out the food and there were plates, plastic ware and napkins. Au jus and mayo and mustard. The complete set up. I’m very happy with Jason’s. This was my first time ordering for delivery though we often choose Jason’s for their quality food, value pricing and casual atmosphere. Our favorite is Smokey Jack panini, our regular order.“

“Everyone was so Friendly and Helpful!!! It was clean…even the bathrooms! The food was Scrumptious!!! I will definitely go back…YUMMY!! YES…YES…YES!! Beverly Bollinger-Webster“

“Fresh pizza, very hot in temperature. Great flavor“

“I agree with other reviews that mention the staff at this Marcos. They are top notch. Super friendly and helpful. Our online order was ready fast, was perfect and tasted great. Oh, and the location was very clean. Keep up the great work! Will be back soon.“

“Great food great atmosphere 💯“

“Man, their pulled pork sandwich, which is a limited time offer, it’s my favorite… Yummy.“

“My grandfather actually started the Tennessee Sir pizza franchise and I have worked for the business in and out since I was 13.. have eaten at all locations and I have to say, hands down! Luck's Sir pizza is one of the best ones in the business.. he still does it the traditional way and they make a mean pizza!! My grandfather told me that if you want to make a buck, you have to get the customer to keep coming back.. luck truly understands that concept!! Thanks for the pizza tonight, it was truly amazing“

“Delicious as always! The food never disappoints, and the service is absolutely off the charts. The team working there is friendly, attentive, and genuinely seems to care about the customer experience. We could use a lot more customer service like this these days.

The slightly lower ⭐ atmosphere rating isn’t their fault—I went through the drive-thru! 😜“

“Great food, super clean dining room, and staff really hustling to get it right. It's why Zaxby's is thriving, while the Colonel across the street has finally closed down. We only get restaurant food once a week---usually splitting an order, at that---but Zaxby's often gets that business from our fam. Why? Because of the excellent chow, dining room open after hubs leaves work, and pleasant atmosphere. Keep doing what you're doing, because you're doing it right! 👍“

“Thank you for making my order right! At the holidays it can be stressful and I greatly appreciated your effort to make sure I was able to receive my order despite the unexpected delay. Your service and patience was a blessing! Best sourdough bread!“

“Great service on a Saturday morning“

“We had AYANA as our server. She was amazing and she has been our favorite server we’ve had at this location. She will be the reason why we come back again. We’ve been at ruby tuesdays many times and especially this location and she has been the only server to remind us of the daily specials. The food was amazing try the new shrimp tacos!“

“Marco's is already ahead of most other chain pizzerias, but this location in particular has shown to be a cut above even other Marco's restaurants that we've visited previously. The consistently high quality food, and service that we've received leaves us impressed every time. The staff, and management have always done their best to provide us with a good experience. From mailing us a 50% off coupon, to crediting back money when we couldn't get a coupon to apply, all without us asking for it. They've done right by us, and that's why we keep coming back, and will continue to.“

“I ordered the calzone for 1799. It came to like $27 almost with tax and of course I had to give the delivery driver a tip always tip your delivery driver, but this is absolutely amazing. It came exactly the way I ordered it. It came with extra cheese and sometimes when you ask for extra cheese, you never get it. Oh, they did it this time this the taste of it. Everything is so satisfying. I cannot complain at all. This is an amazing calzone. gave me a big bowl of red sauce to dip it in more than enough. You cannot complain about this if you ever complain about this you just like to complain because this is amazing. I absolutely love this. I go to these guys all the time this is the first time I had delivery even the delivery driver was amazing. Very polite very quick. Even waited for me to run upstairs to grab some more cash really nice guy hands-down number one in Nashville. Love you guys.“

“The delicious food and pleasant atmosphere is great, but the gracious assistance of the staff is what I find most drawing. I was the recipient of a most unexpected get-well surprise today. My daughter and I needed the most unexpected surprise. Thank you so much. I have been a customer since Panera moved to the Boro. Thank you once again.“

“Boneless chix wings & their fries!! ❤❤❤“

“Kyre is amazing! I am VERY pregnant… like at the stage where I cry when my food ain’t right… pregnant. Last night we went to Zaxby’s and when we got home realized my sandwich was wrong. My husband called and Kyre made it all right! He had the best attitude about it!! Thank you Kyre!!!“
