32 Best Salad Restaurants in Fairfax

“Amazing food great atmosphere and they except reservations“

“$5 extra broth charge? Seriously? I've been going to Jinya for years. Never had an issue before. It's always been a great place. Today, there was not enough broth in the $18 bowl of ramen that I ordered. It was unusually pretty low. I asked the waiter for some extra broth. When I got the bill, I noticed I was charged an extra $5 without being told I would be charged $5 more. C'mon Jinya. You can do better than that. Really good way to lose your customers!! Glad you're not the only good ramen place in NOVA!“

“5 of us for Sunday Brunch Spinach dip with baguettes was delicious All our entrees were tasty ; ham and cheese croissant, huevos rancheros, crab cake sandwich and funnel cake waffle Only thing was the waffle came about 12 minutes after the rest of our food :(“

“On our way home my wife found this hidden gem. It was absolutely without a doubt the best lobster dog we have ever had. The owner is a great guy and I applaud him for taking a leap of faith by opening this great restaurant. If we are ever in the area again we will make a pit stop here.“

“It's good, it's hot, and it's good. It's so embarrassing. I'm very happy that many of the little brothers in Dongguan, Guangdong have a good relationship. It's more than eight o'clock, and none of them want to turn off the Xu Beibei Big V Eight Big Brother DVD, maybe. My favorite color is inconvenient. Big brother Xuchang does not represent Dongxu.“

“Loved the salad I got from here! I’m usually a Sweetgreen-goer but this place is much closer to my work. I feel like Chopt has REALLY stepped up its salad game! This was on par with SG in my opinion which was a pleasant surprise because the last time I had Chopt (like 4+ years ago) it was just okay. Looking forward to next time!

Vegetarian options: Impossible to go wrong with all the veggie options here!“

“First of all the atmosphere is so cute!! They went all out for halloween but in general you can tell a lot of thought was put into the decor to make it a fun environment. The happy hour was great, 10/10 recommend their spicy margarita. The beef empanadas were so delicious and all of their salsas and house sauce was so good. Lastly, our server Lucas was so attentive and great. Everything came out extremely quick and he was very personable. This will be our new go to spot before EagleBank events!

Kid-friendliness: Kids menus available“

“After a hard day of work, I went to treat myself to eating Cava - Lee Hwy, I like it because the food is fresh and delicious. When I arrived, I was delighted to see the smiling and friendly staff, but I especially want to thank Diosesis for always giving all customers such a pleasant, smiling and very respectful welcome. Thank you very much for the excellent work you do.“

“I can say this place definitely does serve Hawai'ian-style poké, as I was in Hawai'i for two weeks prior to trying it out. Their fish is fresh and flavorful! Lots of choices to make your own poké bowl. They even serve the same style drinks as Hawai'ian pokè places, which gives it a more authentic feel. For me, I'd have loved for some Hawai'ian music to be playing on the radio to complete the mood! Either way, we will be back for sure. Check this place out the next time you're in town!“

“Great Chick-fil-A! They actually gave us the extra pickles we asked for, AND took our gluten allergy seriously. Thanks for a great experience. ONLY DOWNSIDE: there is no play place at this establishment.

Dietary restrictions: Took our GF requests seriously

Kid-friendliness: No play area“

“My wife and I brought the kids here after spending the day in State College. It was excellent. Fresh food, good prices (kids eat free with a regular purchase). Will definitely be back!“

“Great food , great costumer service, smells delicious you should gave a try I really recommend a-lot of favor choices its like cava or chipotle style but indian food.“

“Enjoyed a mini date with my husband at Noodles & Company. Service was quick and employees super nice. The spicy Korean beef noodle is to die for!“

“Amazing experience at Cozy District Cafe on 5/30/24! The coffee and breakfast pastries were delicious, and the cafe smelled absolutely wonderful as they were preparing for a catering order. I usually stop in for coffee after a doctor's appointment and had no idea they offered catering services. I'll definitely keep them in mind for future events.The staff was warm and friendly, making my visit even more enjoyable.“

“Me and my boyfriend went here for lunch, and had the pleasure of being served by Joey. He was very attentive and funny. The lunch specials are a good size for the price. I want to come back again to try the endless soup and salad. We paid and didn’t do the survey, but I would come back again and ask for Joey! (idk how many Joey’s are at this location, but he had curly dark hair) Thanks again!“

“Love this place!! Food is always delicious and fresh .“

“Hands down the best kabob spot in Fairfax. All of the dishes here are exceptional and the service I got when I was there was also great. Would recommend this place to anyone visiting Northern Virginia! The white sauce and green sauce was exactly what I was looking for to add that extra flavor for my kabobs! If you are looking for high quality kabobs with great portions for a fair price go to grill kabob xpress!“

“Love this little cafe! Service is wonderful, food is wonderful, food is fast!“

“Love this place for lunch. They open early at 6 am and close by 2pm. They have lots of options from salads, sandwiches, wings, gyros, breakfast, and bahn mi. Recommend. I like their bahn mi, Philly steak sandwich, wings and fries, salmon salad, and avocobbo salad“

“Said should get 10 stars ? for his exceptional, professional service and kind, pleasant attitude. I usually come to this location at all the time. I would have to say that Said has always been so polite and helpful, going above and beyond to make us feel so welcome. Today, I sat down outside due to that I came with my dog. He was so kind to bring us water for my little 4 ? ? paws forever friend. If you ever come to eat at this location please ask for Said. He is the best. Thank you Said for your excellent customer service..“

“Ordered online (ends at 8:30pm) and the food was delicious! The employees Allison and Saturn were so helpful. I didn’t know how the sauces were packed and combined but they explained it to me thoroughly. Will come back every time for a poke bowl. My fiancée and kids also loved the food. We each got a bowl and it was plenty.“

“This is the only potbelly location i will ever order from. The food is fresh, 10/10 service, and always greeted with a warm welcome. Samantha is the sweetest!! Thank you to the staff for always making us feel welcomed , and for serving amazing sandwiches.“

“Two days ago we had the 1/3/2022 mini blizzard here in nova. I had started my new job just down the street from their location so decided to order curb side pickup from online. Well, when I finally go outside and start driving I see how bad the weather is and get to RHB but it looks closed. I pull in and promptly get stuck at the entryway. I finally make it and get my car out of the unplowed lot and decide i best go back to my new job hungry. I had no food, it was birthday and I was pretty sure after encountering the weather I may be stranded at this job over night. So, I drive back to my office and get stuck right at the entryway of the parking lot! Then the restaurant manager from RHB calls me about my order and I explain what happened and my current situation . He says just drive down the street and he will bring it out to me And I explain im stuck again but ill try! So 15 mins later im stuck in the same spot and a random gentleman in a truck stops and offers to plow me out which was no easy task but he does it anyways and then RASHEED RHB calls me again and i explain my dilemma snd says ill bring it to you send the address. Im like omg thank you! What are you arrives at my office I offered a Tip snd he says no but I explained that I had been stuck in the snow twice and that it’s my birthday and I might be stranded here thank you so much. He wished me a happy birthday and I told him that let me do something so I’m writing this review. Go see Rashid at the red hot and blue and Fairfax one of the nicest guys!“

“They've got great pizza here, and unlike many pizza places that I've been to, they have an option where you can put as many toppings as you want, although FYI, it does mean a longer time to cook, and Blaze does take time, in my opinion it is worth the wait. The service is nice too, and so much more professional and organized compared to other restaurants at GMU.“

“Glad i found Marco's pizza! It's a gem! The pizza is excellent. Danny the manager is very professional and cares about the customers. The crew are amazing. I urge people to try their pizza and why it's different from the competition. Thank you!!“

“One thing ppl love to do on this campus is hate 😭 Like it’s a regular chick fil a. The place is a little ugly, sure, but their food tastes the same as every other chick fil a. If you like chick fil a, then you can go to this one if it’s convenient for you“

“Mezeh Mediterranean Grill is a go-to spot for anyone who loves fresh, flavorful, and customizable Mediterranean dishes. During my recent visit, I opted for their chicken shawarma bowl, and it was an absolute delight.

The chicken shawarma bowl at Mezeh is a feast for the senses. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and cooked to tender, juicy perfection. What makes Mezeh truly special is the unlimited toppings. The variety of fresh vegetables, pickles, and other toppings allowed me to create a bowl tailored to my taste. Each ingredient was fresh and vibrant, enhancing the overall flavor profile of the bowl.

The hummus at Mezeh is to die for. Creamy, rich, and full of flavor, it’s the perfect base or accompaniment to any meal. The caramelized eggplants were another highlight. They were tender, slightly sweet, and added a wonderful depth of flavor to the bowl.

The pita chips at Mezeh are a crunchy, delightful treat. They were perfectly crisp and paired wonderfully with the hummus and other dips. The yogurt sauce was tangy and refreshing, adding a nice balance to the rich and savory elements of the bowl.

To round off the meal, the baklava was an excellent choice for dessert. Sweet, flaky, and with just the right amount of nuttiness, it was the perfect ending to a delicious meal.

Overall, Mezeh Mediterranean Grill offers a fantastic dining experience with their chicken shawarma bowl and an array of fresh, flavorful toppings. The hummus, caramelized eggplants, pita chips, yogurt sauce, and baklava all contributed to a memorable and satisfying meal. If you’re looking for a place that combines quality, variety, and great taste, Mezeh is the perfect spot. Highly recommended!“

“The staff are always friendly, whether dining in or taking out. They have the best drive through lines of any fast food restaurant, fast and reliable service and cover windows so your opened windows won’t get wet.

Parking: Plenty of free parking, but it’s a mad house during the busy lunch hour“

“The food is pretty standard for Panera, but is pretty good quality, especially their Caesar salad and chicken noodle soup. The quality of their sandwiches, especially the chicken frontega is quite fresh, and two employees, one who I assumed is the manager, discussed how they wrapped my sandwich and soup so that it is free of food containing nuts, which I am allergic to. The two employees who handed my order discussed how seriously they take the health and safety of their customers, something I don’t hear from many restaurants I go to, and which means a lot as someone who is a foodie but has allergies.

The only critique I would give is that the service can sometimes take 20-25 mins, making the wait time for food slower than other places, but I don’t know if it is because the employees were considering putting my food in to-go packaging my food and separating from other foods with nuts

Vegetarian options: Some salads are vegetarian, as well as many of the soups and sandwiches. Mediterranean veggie sandwich is a recommendation for vegetarians.

Dietary restrictions: They accommodate allergies.

Parking: Lots of spaces nearby, especially near the front of the restaurant.

Kid-friendliness: There’s a kids menu.“

“Thank you so much the food was really good! I was served by Yaritza and was very professional and was pleased. Later I was confronted by a manger Dilip and asked me how I was doing and had a wonderful conversation. Very good service and would definitely come back again! ?“

“I recently visited Noodles & Company on Main Street in Fairfax, VA, for the first time and was pleasantly surprised by the experience. I ordered the Pesto Cavatappi, which consisted of cavatappi noodles in a flavorful basil pesto cream sauce, complemented by garlic, mushrooms, tomatoes, and a generous sprinkle of parmesan. I also enjoyed a Caesar side salad and a large fountain drink.

The food was delicious and full of flavor. The restaurant was clean and had a relaxing atmosphere, perfect for a casual meal. The staff went out of their way to ensure my food was enjoyable, and the cashier was very friendly and welcoming. While I found the portions a bit on the smaller side for the $16 price tag, I was very pleased that they offered a military discount, which added to the positive experience.“

“I love potbelly!! My family loves it and the service is always amazing! All the employees are fantastic and super welcoming! I’ve never had such a good sandwich before I just love this place!!! All the food here is a 10/10 so yummy and i just cant stop coming back!!“
