50 Best Salad Restaurants near Portsmouth

“The food is amazing!! I went in with a focus on Protein. The sourdough Brad sandwich had a ton of meat in it!!“

“Mom and Son Thai Kitchen is the best Thai restaurant that I’ve tried. My family loves it as do all the family and friends that I’ve recommended it to. The owners and staff are very friendly and helpful. The food is amazing. I’ve always liked Thai food, but I LOVE the Thai food from Mom and Son Thai Kitchen. It is very fresh and full of flavor. Everything I’ve had tastes like it was made from scratch with love. My favorite dishes are the Thai fried rice, basil stir fry, Pad Kee Mao, and the Thai Noodle Soup. If you’ve never tried this place, go try it ASAP!“

“Very good place hard to find these days, BLT are my favorite the staff is always busy on serving customers hot dogs are also good very comfortable eat in too keep it up ..“

“Do not let the exterior fool you, this place is gold. The interior could use some love but honestly it doesn’t bother me.

The girl behind the counter was kind, professional, and even gave me a bottle of Pepsi instead of a can because that was cold and the cans were still warm as she just restocked them. Just the thoughtfulness made me want to leave this review.

The two men behind the counter making the food were super friendly and very polite.

The pizza was crispy, had the right balance of cheese and sauce and could tell it was fresh.

I also ordered the stuffed shells and MAN. They were amazing. They cooked it just enough so the shells weren’t soggy and the cheese was crispy on top of the shells in all the right ways. 10/10.

The prices were awesome too, I didn’t walk away being like dang should I really have bought that after. I believe my bill was $19 for the soda, a slice, side salad, and shells.

I’ll be back to try other items on the menu because this place deserves more than 4.0 stars.“

“Staff is nice, plz get the super Philly because it has the most meat, yummy! My food was made fresh to order & hot 🔥 . The Philly wasn’t seasoned enough for me, but they provided extra garlic salt & it was perfect once added! The fries weren’t my favorite cut or texture, but it was hot & complemented my sub. The reese's  cup cookie was delicious and was a flavorful way to end my meal. This location is in desperate need of a remodel, but I’ll be back !“

“We recently ordered catering from Chick-fil-A for our dental office, and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. Will went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled smoothly. He was professional, friendly, and incredibly attentive to our needs, making the entire process stress-free.
The food arrived on time, was well-organized, and tasted great, everyone in the office thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s clear that Will takes pride in providing excellent customer service, and it truly made a difference in our experience. We would absolutely recommend working with Will for any catering needs. Thank you for helping make our office event a success!“

“My husband and I have never had a bad meal at Nice Thai! The food is outstanding and the service is always friendly and attentive. Our favorites are the crispy garlic chicken, papaya salad, and any of their weekly specials. Definitely check this place out and support a local small business 🖤“

“As my friends and family know, I owned a pizza place in a past life that had some pretty great reviews. I’m not a review guy typically, but this pizza was one of the best, if not the best, I’ve EVER had anywhere. 17/10 would recommend and will eat again.“

“I've been eating here for close to 30 years. Still doesn't disappoint.
EDIT- My past four meals here have been terrrible. Smaller portions, cold/dry food (that should be hot). I've ordered all my old regulars/favorites and they've all changed. No more pasta salad side dish?! Bogus. Everything changed when the owners daughter (in charge of front of the house) and her husband (was the kitchen mananger) left to open their own place. I used to recommend this place to friends and strangers alike. No longer.“

“Chicken Caesar wrap was delicious!“

“Best service, best food, and best Mission experience! Every time I go Mission BBQ in Chesapeake, we feel honored and served with excellence. Caylee is the best!! The last time times we have been there, I am amazed by her kindness and service excellence. Cubes, the kitchen manager, cooks with the touch from heaven. Thank you for being a blessing! Y’all are our fav!“

“The Cure in Newport News is such a comfortable environment and the staff is so friendly and welcoming. The Crème Brûlée macchiato was absolutely perfect as well as their “The Hangover Cure” breakfast sandwich. I will definitely be coming here again!“

“WOW! Awesome Pizza!!“

“Omg where do I start!!! Me and my wife came Friday the 16th!! We didn’t have a reservation and I promise you I suggest making one especially on I house guess the weekend. We decided to sit at the bar instead of a window seat I also let the host know if someone cancels or if a Hi top come available please let us know. After 2 cocktails in which was amazing we got lucky got a seat! All you could see was the kitchen door flying open lol as the waitresses was bringing dishes I mean we only do fine dining when we eat out but I honestly wasn’t expecting something at this caliber seriously, you know we eat alot of places and sometimes the food just doesn’t be seasoned the way you expected especially if its plated nicely. Because it’s true we eat with our eyes first! But let me tell you!!! Goddd KISS THE CHEF!! The Owner, Owners whoever lol because every aspect was on point from service to atmosphere it really was unbelievable! I felt like I was in a major city!! Miami especially because I’ve had the oxtail lasagna there so I advised my wife to get that and I got the 37oz Tomahawk for 2 top with crab meat lol I love a good steak seriously. We didn’t get any appetizers because I wanted to save my appetite and my mental was in my pocket lol if you know what I mean but a $100 for a tomahawk with roasted potatoes it was no way I wasn’t gonna have that for dinner and some left for breakfast with cheese eggs in the morning lol Now when my steak came out! I ordered medium in which I expected to see pink because medium requires pink and who orders a well done steak anyway??? I mean it was cooked and seasoned to perfection with roasted potatoes and onions OMG I’M GOING BACK THERE!! Soon!! I taste my wife oxtail lasagna because she just kept saying how much better it tasted here lol so I did and she wasn’t exaggerating I mean the pasta sauce was sweet with garlic Omg how did they make a sauce that good and it had tomato chunks in it not the big crazy chunks but just perfect everything was PERFECT THIS PLACE DESERVES A MICHELIN⭐️ if thats possible in this area Ive ate in numerous countries because of my military background but this place is one for the books!!“

“Great tasting food!! I can’t wait to try more!“

“Amazing sushi, very fresh!! Spicy city roll was our favorite, and Crazy Tuna roll was yummy too. We started with edamame and steamed shumai, both steamed perfectly. Our server was great, attentive and sweet. Overall a wonderful experience and will definitely be back!

Update 4/14/26: Tokyo Love Story roll is my new personal fav! We try new sushi places every now and then but ALWAYS end up back at Oishi!“

“The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable, and I’m never disappointed in the food. If you like steamed oysters, I highly recommend theirs. They are always very tender and delicious!“

“Great place with amazing food and people that work there are always so friendly“

“Warm, inviting, friendly venue to talk fly fishing 🎣🗽🇺🇸“

“Came by today 14April26 with my hubby for a quick lunch. Des was our server today, and she was phenomenal!! So sweet and very quick with any requests.

Mrs Fredrico was at the front and is always a peach every time we come in here. Love the atmosphere these two put off in here 💕“

“Health protocols was observed during our recent visit. Delicious and healthy menu choices. I ordered Harissa Avocado bowl while hubby had Arugula bowl. Each dish had a mixture of greens, protein and carbs. There’s no wrong choices here, everything is fresh and filling! We will definitely go back“

“We love going to this Jason's Deli. Jeffery and his team are GREAT!! And BTW, the food is awesome as well.“

“So I went to this exact Olive Garden about 2-3 years ago. For my very first time at any Oliver Garden. I had the worst service ever. I said I would never go to any Olive Garden again. . The food was horrible as well. Today I went just because it was a friend’s birthday and that’s where she wanted to go. Well today changed my thoughts. The waiter Adrian was amazing! The service all around was good. And the food was good. I will be coming back.“

“Our first time trying Thai food. Delicious. Ordered mild. Will probably do medium next time because we will be back.“

“My mom and I visited this location for the first time today. It wasn't busy at all. I went to the kiosk to order the food /drinks and our order was ready within a few minutes. We ordered the two entrees with a side. My mom stated that the half turkey sandwich that she had was a little dry and she have ordered a soup with it. I ordered the half Mediterranean veggie sandwich and it hit the spot.“

“The food is pretty decent and the service is really good, especially during lunch. It does get very busy during rush hour, but the staff handles the pressure well. The atmosphere can feel hectic at lunchtime—especially with families and kids, as it can get loud and crowded. Overall, a solid spot, just be prepared for the lunch rush.”“

“Today was my first time at this establishment..The young lady at front desk today was so friendly and helpful explaining menu items, this establishment is lucky to have her. The portion size was great, the price was also not to bad and was very good all around . A Must try place“

“Excellent food. Loved the options that were given and many choices to pick from. 10/10“

“I was in the Wards Corner area today and I decided to try Clean Eatz for the first time. I had the chocolate and peanut butter smoothie. The lady behind the register that it is her favorite smoothie because you can not go wrong with peanut butter and chocolate. She was so right because it was very good. I also had the good for you nachos.“

“This place is fairly new, located in the heart of Ocean View. It can easily be accessed by bike, walk, or by driving. The staff is super nice and welcoming. The pizza is delicious! We ordered a large pepperoni abd cheese and had only a few slices left. You will not be disappointed.“

“Always awesome NY style pie! Huge fold-able slices! Our definite favorite!“

“I was helped out by two team members. I think one of their names was Eva or Eve? She was very helpful, and so was the guy that helped as well. Definitely would recommend the salad. It was fresh and tasted great.“

“really disappointed spending 40 bucks on 2 sándwiches and a salad to get home and have the wrong sandwich“

“they do well here considering the high demand, but its frustrating that most of the time when i order a sunjoy with unsweetened tea, i am given one with sweet tea, so i end up paying an upcharge for a drink i dont even want. would be nice if i could get a discount for not getting a drink with a combo, or if they had iced coffee“

“first time I ordered was today and let me tell you!!! hands down I will be back weekly!!!! keep up the great work and even more amazing food!!! I didnt take a picture of the potato salad ....it was gone before I could!“

“This is the best Italian restaurant ever. All the way from when you walk in and out it is a super good experience. I got the soup, salad, and breadstick combo. Breadsticks are soft and fresh. Salad is amazing and fresh as well. And the soup was amazing. Personally I think Olive Gardens cheese is the best so I always get extra. And to top it off the Andes chocolates they give with the check is like the cherry on top.“

“Born in Philadelphia, 1946. If you want a better Italian sub, Philadelphia is 7.5 hours North.“

“Wow I was sitting here in Ghana Africa and a thaught came to me. I asked my wife what was the name of that sub place we use to always order from when I was stationed in Norfolk. I was stationed at NOB on the USS Iwo Jima in 1992 until decommissioned in 1993 then to the USS WASP 93 to 96. We used to always order from Cals Pizza and subs. I used to get the cheese steak sub and suicide wings. This place was the best. Good to see they are still in business serving Virginia and the Navy. It brings back good memories for me as a young kid in the Navy.“

“Best pasta I've had in many years, very affordable! a go to for sure. you wont be disappointed im a foodie and this is on my top 5 now. loved it. so fresh and so stuffed with ingredients“

“Last week I placed an order in store for three scones and 2 cookies. When I finally got home and checked my order, I was missing one scone. I called the store right away and spoke to James, one of the managers. He offered me a replacement, as well as 2 free bakery items, which I thought was very generous. Today I went in to collect my items, and I also bought two cookies. The counter person was very nice, and went to get the manager. He as very polite and accommodating, and took care of my order. Everything was as expected, and I left satisfied. It is refreshing to deal with a company that takes their customer satisfaction seriously. I will definitely be back soon. Thanks 😊“

“This past Saturday (5/30/26) I was having a very hard day so I decided to stop Here to grab some food while I was on my way home from work. The young woman who took my order was very kind, but the thing that stood out to me the most was the gentleman who was standing at the window Handing people their food (I can’t remember his name, but this was round 7:30pm ish) He was an absolute ray of sunshine. He saw me as someone who was very clearly struggling and reminded me that there is such thing as kind people in this world. He gave me a very meaningful pep talk, shook my hand, and then sent me on my way with my food. This man deserves the most recognition he can get. He is the kind of person to unknowingly save somebody’s life for the simple act of being kind. I am very grateful to him And I hope that he gets the recognition that he deserves.“

“I’ve eaten a this Ruby Tuesday location three times now and each time the food and the service have been exceptional!
Shardee was our most recent wait person and she was absolutely delightful and efficient. She took the time to make suggestions and offered her comments on the items we were interested in ordering; very helpful!
The only constructive comment is that the restaurant is dark and the tables look very worn despite the time this particular RT has been operational.
Thank you!“

“The best Thai food in the Virginia Beach area. They have too many locations. The owner runs a business with over 15 years of experience. It’s very authentic Thai food. They have one at Red Mill ( Va beach) and Norfolk. I love all food. Please try it out you will love it. Only one place has authentic Thai food.“

“all around terrible food, my husband had left a couple of reviews and they blocked him , it's like they know their food is bad but they want everybody to think it's good by only keeping the good reviews do not eat here unless you want food poison“

“I went to get the new jalapeno spicy chicken sandwich. They asked me if I wanted any condiments and I said no assuming they was just talking about Chick-fil-A sauce, ketchup, etc. Not knowing that I needed the ranch to go home my sandwich. So if you order the jalapeno chicken ranch sandwich, you say yes to the condiments or you won't get the ranch sauce but I made it do what it do. It's Chick-fil-A that's chicken sandwich heads down🤷🏽‍♂️“

“Great pizza but the last 3 times we have gone there was nobody old enough to serve beer... Hopefully they sort that out soon. We will still continue going there because the pizza is really just that good!“

“Today in Leighton’s Land… Panera Bread wasn’t just a café—it was a cozy little oasis in the city’s hustle. The smell of fresh-baked bread and that first sip of rich, creamy hot chocolate? Pure magic. Leighton swears it’s the best, like drinking happiness in a cup. But today, he made a shocking discovery—Panera’s hot chocolate is better than Starbucks. His face says it all. Maybe it’s the marshmallows. Maybe it’s a secret recipe. Or maybe… it’s just that good. Either way, Leighton’s mind is blown.“

“we tried the pepperoni pizza pie and it was the best we've had in Hampton roads. Crust is garlicky and just delicious. we'll be back. 5 stars“

“Our first visit proved to be a great one. I had the soft tacos and they were packed to the top of the shell. My husband had the cheese and beef burrito and he was so impressed he went to the manager and employees and thanked them for preparing such a good meal. We will be back for sure!!!!“
