Salad Restaurants near Merrifield

“I haven't actually dined here, but I will leave a review for the workers here. Our Church picks up Doughnation bread here on Saturday nights and the employees are always respectful and pleasant to interact with. Tonight Mr. Gewa was very helpful loading the boxes into my car. Normally I just load myself but since he went out of his way to be helpful I thought I'd leave a good review. Thanks again.“

“Ezequiel sets the standard of outstanding customer service and has graciously offered us better deals and cost saving options while being conscientious throughout. He made our experience worthwhile. The food was amazing. Highly recommend rice bowls and jinya buns in addition to the Ramen! 5 out of 5!“

“Excellent service from Luis Enrique, super attentive and friendly. Thanks to him for the Suggestion for the dishes, for starters I ordered Hokaido Scallop and then the chicken ramen... I would return without hesitation. Good atmosphere and the taste of the food very good.“

“You can't go wrong with Mike's American - great food - attentive service - attention to detail - friendly staff. From the moment I walk in, 'til I make my way out the door, I've never had anything less than a five-star experience on every level. It's a local treasure.“

“Came here for a birthday, had a reservation but still had to wait 15mins, not a huge deal but be aware. Service was friendly but not very attentive. Had to flag our waitress down every time I needed anythingThe food: steaks were cooked to perfection and were some of the best I’ve had in the dmv. Rockfish was exceptionally good. Cesar salad was fantastic.Busy place prices are reasonable for what you get in quality of food but definitely not cheap.If you appreciate a quality steak I would highly recommend Ozzie’s. I will be trying it again.Parking: Parking wasn’t hard to find but may need to walk a block or two.“

“One of my favorite Halal Platters spot in the DMV. Just got hip to it last night and ate half my food and got full then the other half was finished by my bro before I could wake up the next day. The chicken was on point and the white sauce and bbq sauce are really good and flavorful. Highly recommend. Just got it again for a second day back to back ?“

“I had the pleasure of enjoying the chicken chashu rice bowl. It definitely was not what I was expecting; it was a pretty large bowl. It took me some time to see the bottom of the bowl but I finished it. It was so good. I wish I was a kid thou... My son was served the same meal in a small bowl in addition to a bowl of ramen noodles in a broth, (he was nice enough to share...it was really good), 2 pieces of chicken and a small bowl of noodles ce cream as part of the kids meal. Renee was a great waiter and the host, Seth, took the time to explain the specials to everyone at the table. Be sure to come hungry, you will leave satisfied.Atmosphere - people and the area was great. I just found the restaurant too dark.“

“My hubby and I have been to Carlyle twice. Both times we shared the Judith Point calamari with the corn salsa. Calamari preparation can range from horribly rubbery and tasteless, to just “meh,” or to what Carlyle has done with it - fried to perfection, with complementary flavors in the sauces and corn salsa- for the win!I ordered the smoked salmon on my first visit two years ago, and because it was so tastefully prepared, I couldn’t bring myself to try another dish. It is just delicious.Hubby ordered crab cakes, along with coleslaw and shoestring fries. Crab cakes were meaty and flavorful. Sides were good.Atmosphere and service are good. I love that it’s in a walkable area, just a few blocks from the Shirlington Hilton. Give Carlyle a try!“

“Great food and friendly service! I love to sit outside on the deck. They are able to accommodate those with special dietary needs. I need gluten free and dairy free. Gluten free buns are available upon request. GF buns need an extra few minutes to defrost the in the oven but it’s worth the wait. Or you can call ahead. I loved my lobster roll and the coleslaw too!Dietary restrictions: GlutenDairy“

“Our server was so pleasant and attentive. For our appetizer we got the calamari and it was some of the best I've ever had. Entrees were a bit hit or miss. The ribeye we ordered wasn't seasoned well, but the crabcake we got was the best I've ever had. Overall a great experience, though fairly pricey.“

“Thrilled to have found this place while attending a training conference nearby. I am not ashamed to say I came here for lunch every day of the week The good: the atmosphere is as good as it gets for a pub. Quiet lunch stop, Friendly staff a traditional pub menu great whiskey selection and a gorgeous mirror backed ornate wood bar display. I swapped between both the Reuben and fish sandwich all week and highly recommend either. The bad: My major complaint is that this place is too far from my house but it may be good enough that I start looking for new apartments in the area. This is what it is to the maximum degree if you are in the mood for an Irish pub I don't think you can do better.“

“The service has declined a little over the years, a trend which began even before COVID. But maybe we got spoiled. All GAR locations are still usually better than those in this price point and we go to this restaurant once or twice a month, so that ought to tell you something!“

“I love sandwiches and cookies from Sandwich Republic! My favorites are the roast beef and tandoori chicken sandwiches, and I’ve enjoyed all the cookies they sell. Service is excellent — Jay and Soo are incredibly nice, hardworking owners! Please support small businesses during this time — especially the ones like this one that have maintained their high standards for quality and service.“

“This hidden gem offers a delightful fusion of flavors that's as vibrant and colorful as a Mexican mural. This family-owned operation not only wins your heart with its super friendly staff but also caters to a symphony of dietary preferences, making it a haven for vegetarians, vegans, and those seeking halal options. The casual atmosphere, a playful blend of Mexican zest and Greek finesse, sets the stage for a dining experience that's both laid-back and lip-smackingly good.Diving into the menu is like embarking on a culinary world tour, starting in Mexico with the Vegan taco, a masterclass in flavor that proves you don't need meat to create a masterpiece. It's a plant-based delight that showcases the kitchen's knack for transforming simple ingredients into something extraordinary.The Mexican Pizza, a Wild Tacoz signature, is a flavor bomb. Imagine a 12" pizza that shuns the traditional crust for a double cheese-filled tortilla, creating a base that's as innovative as it is delicious. Topped with a protein of your choice and adorned with a medley of toppings including mild or spicy salsa, a three-cheese mix, tomatoes, onions, black beans, romaine, cilantro, and corn crumbs, it's a dish that dances on the line between genius and madness, landing squarely on the side of genius.Then, we set sail for Greece with the Gyro Burrito, a culinary hybrid that's as bold as it is delicious. Packed with rice, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, feta, and tzatziki, it's a wrap that wraps you in warmth and comfort, proving that when Mexico meets Greece, the result is nothing short of spectacular.Wild Tacoz is not just a restaurant; it's a testament to the power of family, fusion, and the universal language of delicious food. With every dish made to order, freshness is the name of the game, ensuring that each visit is as delightful as the last. In a world where fusion can sometimes mean confusion, Wild Tacoz stands out as a beacon of culinary creativity, blending Mexican flair and Greek elegance into a dining experience that's sure to leave you wild with joy.“

“For appetizers- we ordered the burratta e funghi and also the foccaccia bread. Both were delicious. The highlight was the pizza! We were a party of 6 and tried three different pizzas, and all were delicious! We also tried both the gnocchi dishes (formaggi and sorrentina), they were ok. The best dish of all was the tiramisu! We liked it so much we had to order multiples. Friendly staff, good amount of parking..“

“Loved the tacos, some better than other, service was good, only 4 stars for atmosphere because the ceiling was staring back at us but other than that I liked the seating and layout, also saw they have events some nights and definitely will be going back to try more food and the events. A great place next to GMU campus in university mall, and the best part is that they have Jarritos. Chips were solid too, salsa is spicy, if you are white or just have no spice tolerance at all beware.“

“Best food I have had in Nova!! The shrimp and burrata apps were fab! The Sea-bass, gnocchi, smoked mac and cheese all perfection! Cocktails on point! Lovely espresso martini (not sweet!)! Our server Cristian was knowledgeable, professional and helpful with explaining everything aspect of the menu! Will definitely be back!“

“Very good bar/vegan food. Prices seem all over with place, with some items overpriced and some quite cheap. Example: burger for $16, but a generous plate of eggplant fries + dipping sauces for $3. In total, it was about $30 for a burger, fries and a beer for one person. Maybe I’m just not used to DC prices, but it felt expensive. Good vegan food, though, and fast, friendly service.Vegetarian options: Full menu is vegan“

“This is the best Italian spot, if not the best restaurant, in the DC area. It’s a small menu, updated regularly, and the staff couldn’t be any more perfect. If I could only have one meal for the rest of my life, squid ink linguini and the pineapple upside-down cake. WOW!“

“The menu at The zemeda offers a delightful fusion of flavors. Each dish is beautifully presented, showcasing fresh ingredients and attention to detail. Whether you're a meat lover, vegetarian Ethiopian food there's something for everyone.“

“I saw this restaurant on Google maps while searching for a place to meet friends for dinner. It didn't fit what I had in mind. But intrigued I went there with my family and thoroughly enjoyed the food! We all thought the fresh ingredients, clever mixtures and exciting sauces were wonderful and ever so healthy. Their service was efficient but the atmosphere was sterile and noisy even almost empty...better for takeout.“

“I always enjoy going to Elephant Jumps Thai restaurant for their food. I usto work across the street back in the days and found out about this restaurant. I have tried a different meal every time I have ordered from here and have never been disappointed. I have moved to Woodbridge and I still make the drive when I want to get some Thai food.“

“Wonderful food with so many tasty options for GF, great setting and decor, looking forward to going back!Dietary restrictions: If you have Celiac's the options here are above and beyond, two thumbs up strongly recommend!Kid-friendliness: Not only do they provide crayons and coloring pages, but also Etcha Sketches! Such a fun throwback“

“I went here on the recommendation of a friend. I've been to similar restaurants so I was familiar with the concept. They are located in an office building but in a good area. They take the dress code seriously. It's more of an upscale place. Nice ambiance. They were having a party in the back. The hostess and the servers very nice and accommodating. We went for lunch service and the food came quick once they started. The jalapeño beef, lamb, and garlic sirloin are things that really stood out. The other cuts were good but had minimal seasoning. The garden bar was sizable. Smoked salmon, Greek salad, beets, asparagus, etc. Oh try the grilled pineapple. Quite good and sweet. Overall a great place to try.“

“Outstanding Thai, especially if you need spicy. We were celebrating multiple life events. The staff was welcoming and anticipated our needs. My only concern was the condition of the restaurant, the ceiling tiles were stained and sagging. Mom reported a sanitary & spotless ladies room.We ordered appetizers. The curry chicken appetizers were wrapped in a delightful flaky crust that melts in your mouth. My son ordered medium heat drunken noodles. The dish was hot, even for chili-phile and spice-iphile in our party! The seafood dish -found on the Pad Thai page -was loaded with shrimp, mussels, squid and scallops for $20! The courses arrived hot, together and quickly.The coconut chocolate chip ice cream was divine. Topped off the meal with Thai coffee and tea. All of this fairly price. All four of took home a doggie bag for a second meal.Parking: Free parking lot in the back of the building periodKid-friendliness: Family friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: the back of the building is not wheelchair accessible. The front is accessible.“

“I LOVE Falafel Inc. foods -- especially their chicken shawarma wrap and seasoned French fries paired with any of the sauces available for dispensing -- but word is getting out about this place, their delicious foods, and bargain prices, which is great for them! A consequence of this is longer lines sometimes and less-than-organized ticketing system. On a recent visit, I waited about 30 minutes after ordering my food and never had my number called but saw those who ordered after me get their food orders for the same items I ordered. When I brought this up with an employee, their coworker produced my receipt/ticket from their back pocket o.O. Once they found my ticket, they promptly started making my order. So, if I never said anything, how much longer would I have had to wait for this employee to check their back pockets for my number?? So strange!“

“Amazing burgers and great service! I got the El Loco burger which was cooked perfectly and had a nice spicy kick. My friend got a hot dog with sauerkraut, and the bacon cheese fries. The fries were fresh, hot, and crispy on the outside. Everything was delicious. Employees were very helpful and friendly. Place was clean and inviting! Definitely will be back!“

“Got the bulgogi bowl, which had that yummy crispiness but I wish there was more radish! I also had the cozy health smoothie, which was delicious and thick so definitely worth 7$! Service was ok and I felt a little unwelcome although I went around 1pm and it wasn't super crowded. But overall, super cute place!“

“Ordered the spicy chili chicken bowl which was bright, fresh, and full of amazing flavors, also ordered the garlic naan which was fresh The extreme overall great tasting. Staff was friendly restaurant was clean. Don’t think you could ask for too much more.“

“We frequent McAlister's quite often. The first time I ever had it was in Texas and I was happy to introduce it to my wife. So when we saw them put one in our area we were excited. We've had nothing but great customer service at this location and really appreciate everything they do and all the people that prepare the food. Thank you“

“I feel that barbecue is subjective and kind of depends on your personal preference if you like it or not. My idea of good BBQ may not be yours. That being said... I LOVED this place. My brothers and I were in the area and one has been craving BBQ something fierce. Walking in, the place smells like heaven. We probably ordered way more than we should have because if we weren't hungry before, we definitely were when we smelled how good it smells here. We all ordered the pulled chicken sandwich, soda, cornbread and we each ordered different sides: baked beans and corn pudding, yucca fries and fried okra, and onion rings and macaroni and cheese. We also had a side of coleslaw to share since BBQ sandwich + coleslaw = perfection. You order at the counter, stop to gawk at the biggest selection of hot sauces I have ever seen for sale, grab your plastic ware and fountain soda, debate if you want pickled jalapeños, pickled onions, hot pickles, (hot pickles were AWESOME!!!!!) and then have a seat. They brought us the food pretty quickly and we dug in. We found their original BBQ sauce, found on the counter in a giant cauldron thing, a little too sweet and tomato-y for our likings (although I did enjoy digging the sweet marinated onions out of my cup of sauce, because those were great with the pickled onions and hot pickles), but they had a smoky and sweet one on the tables that we really liked. The onion rings were so crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and tasted amazing. I dipped one in his macaroni cheese and that tasted pretty darn good too. The fried okra is a huge portion and is also perfectly fried. The yucca fries were also wonderfully crisp on the outside and soft on the inside and not at all greasy. The baked beans are a little savory and a lot sweet. The corn pudding is very soft and fluffy and tastes like a hush puppy without the hard exterior. The coleslaw is delicious. They add super crisp peas and carrots to the normal cabbage. More places should get on this because it adds sweetness and texture and it is fantastic!!!!! The cornbread is amazing! I have no idea how they make it so fluffy and moist but WOW. I may carry honey in my handbag in case there is ever cornbread and I have never been so happy about my weird tendencies because YES!!!!!!! The pulled chicken was juicy and tender and smoky and so good. The buns they use are perfect for standing up to the saucy goodness. We really wanted to try some of their pies and banana pudding, but we couldn't eat another bite by the time we left. The portions were very generous, you couldn't even close the bun around all of the chicken without it jumping ship. You definitely need a fork to scoop up all your fallen chicken, which is also how I like my BBQ... I really wish we lived closer to this place because it was delicious and I would probably feign being too tired to cook dinner at least once a week so we could come here.“

“This is absolutely my go-to for breakfast and lunch. The Standard is my favorite breakfast sandwich around. Customer service is unbeatable- they’re always so friendly. One time I accidentally ordered to the wrong location and they were so nice about it and even gave me a complimentary dessert. Would give them 10 stars if I could!“

“Walking into Endo Sushi doesn't initially scream "acrobatic antics," but the place has its flips and tricks up its sleeve—figuratively speaking, of course! It’s as quaint as they come, clean as a whistle, and home to a charming mural that could tell a thousand tales if only it could talk.The staff? They’re so cheerful and welcoming, you'd think they nailed a backflip before coming to work. And though you won't actually see any gymnastic feats (health and safety, folks!), their ability to deliver top-notch service and sushi with a smile is nothing short of spectacular.While the menu mysteriously lacks the high-flying acrobatics of crafting crab rangoon (I mean, how high can a crab even jump?), the sushi rolls are a culinary somersault of flavors. Yes, the place is simple—no unnecessary pizzazz or sequins needed here—but the experience? Excellent!Five stars to Endo Sushi for a meal where every bite feels like a mini celebration in your mouth. As I left, the whole team waved goodbye with the kind of enthusiasm usually reserved for Olympic gymnasts sticking the landing. So, while there may not be any literal backflips, dining at Endo feels like a perfect ten every time!“

“First time here. The food was really fresh and there are many options for proteins and toppings. I built my own bowl and was happy to learn it came with unlimited toppings. It was easy to choose healthy options or just go all out for a delicious high calorie meal. We will definitely be coming back many more times.“

“The first time I went I didn't care for it. I paid 20 dollars for a little bowl. I got the greens and grains. Yes, I was upset the server gave me a very small portion. Yes, I complained she didn't even care. So the manager came to see and asked what was wrong and I told him and right away gave me a nice portion of rice and lemon herbs dressing now my bowl was correct. I love it.“

“My newest obsession! Dig is a new spot in Bethesda with healthy home-style concept. The employees are amicable and welcoming. It was my first time at Dig, but the employees were helpful and patient. The food was displayed like cava or chipotle; you get to pick as you go down the line. I order half of the greens, brown rice, charred broccoli, cucumber and tomato salad, and charred chicken. They have a variety of sauces, but I ended up getting the pesto and garlic aioli. The chicken was very flavorful and juicy. The broccoli was pretty good; it had a nice texture and lemon flavor. Overall, the food was super yummy, and the portions were perfect. My coworkers got the salmon and the crispy chicken with different sides. I will definitely be trying the other sides when I go back! We all enjoyed our meals, and this will be our new lunch spot! A great healthy option with a home-style feel!“

“This place opened in our neighborhood a while ago and has gone through several iterations, but I feel it has finally hit its stride. We came here early on a busy Saturday, and they had a table available without a reservation. The food and service were impeccable. Our server, Nick, was fantastic. We'll definitely be back.“

“Good service, solid breakfast burritos, and nice atmosphere inside. I stopped by on a weekday morning as the bagel shop nearby seemed to be pretty full. I decided to get the sunrise burrito, and it was quite flavorful. Not too large of a portion, but also worth the price in my opinion.“

“We were having dinner with friends in Bethesda, but got there early so we decided to stop by this place for a margarita before going to the dinner. We had some spicy skinny margaritas and chips and salsa. Both the margaritas and the chips were great. We cannot speak to the rest of the menu, but will likely come back to try it out.“

“Stopped for a quick bite and was pleasantly surprised. 2 BIG slices of pepperoni and a drink for $10 is a fair price especially considering the great quality of the pizza. They make them when ordered so you're not getting slices from an already made pizza. The crust was my favorite part and I usually don't eat the crust. Will be going here often!“

“Nov 16, 2023Today in the midst of the lunch hour rush Carlos helped us with a complicated order and was very attentive as was his wonderful staff.If you’ve not tried Cava yet, run and do not walk to this Vienna location on Maple Ave!Parking: In mid- November, they still have some outdoor seating!“

“Ordered online today to pick up at 11:20am…. Walked to store and ended up waiting 40 minutes while the employees made all the customers that walked in orders first. The wait to pickup line kept growing and growing and since we had all paid for our meals, leaving was not an option. Not once did anyone acknowledge or apologize. It would I gotten order quicker by walking in to order. I think the manager needs to rethink that the call in orders are equally as important as walk-ins“

“Hi! I went to Cava in Burke today ! The food was delicious! And fresh! Also, the staff members were very friendly and respectful. I had the chance to ask some questions to the manager while I was waiting for my pita bread, and she nicely answered my questions ! Is good to see that we have hardworking people in the area !!! I will highly recommend this location to my friends,Thank you for your good service and for being open during this pandemic time.“

“Absolutely love Shinwari Namak Mandi! This restaurant truly captures the essence of Pakistani cuisine. The Kabuli pulao is incredibly flavorful, and the chicken and mutton karahi are simply divine. The authenticity of the dishes is unmatched, making it a go-to spot in Virginia for anyone craving genuine Pakistani flavors. The service is excellent, and the ambiance adds to the overall dining experience. Highly recommend trying their delicious offerings!“

“Overall a clean place with fresh food. I got the Mediterranean chicken wrap and it was good, but the chicken was a tad dry. The vegetables were fresh and the right texture. I do wish it had more tzatziki sauce. The onion rings were crunchy and hot, but 6 for almost $5 felt a little steep. The service was quick and we were in and out in a few minutes. Would I come back? Yes. Would I recommend for a quick lunch? Also yes“

“I discovered Fifty West Cafe due to Yelp! Fifty West Cafe is located in the ground floor of an office building. You can enter the cafe directly through a door from the outside - or you enter the building main entrance, enter the lobby, make a right - and follow the hallway to the end... I stopped in this morning for breakfast. I ordered the Deluxe Avocado Burrito. You get to choose a meat for the burrito - I requested both bacon and sausage - they were happy to accommodate! And a bottle of cold water. I paid with Apple Pay. The food came up quickly - within 7 minutes or so. I opted to eat in. There are a small number of tables to eat in - perhaps a dozen or so tables. There are also 3 tables outside on the sidewalk - close to the cafe. Service was good. As I left, all of the staff yelled out to me - thanking me for coming! #FiftyWestCafe“

“So I originally ordered a grain bowl on Uber eats. Unfortunately Uber eats service was absolutely horrifying. They took over an hour and a half to assign a driver canceled my order previously…. now I’m specifically talking about Uber eats not the restaurant..Uber eats was not trying to give me a refund so I could re-order or just go pick up my food myself I have been waiting almost 2 hours for my food….HOWEVER ANGEL WHO WORKS AT THE RESTAURANT WAS VERY VERY HELPFUL WHEN I CALLED TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH MY ORDER. IF IT WAS READY FOR PICK UP, HE KEPT ME UPDATED, and gave me great assistance. Even when I showed up to pick up my food myself I appreciate that. He also spoke with Uber Eats to let them know it was unacceptable and it made the restaurant look bad.This man has amazing. Customer service is so polite and super respectful. ANGEL FOR CAVA PRESIDENT!!“

“Food is typical per other Olive Gardens. Their restaurant atmosphere left something to be desired, winding floor plan, dim lighting, not much of a view, old parking lot. For Tyson’s, you might expect more. But still a good place to eat, as long as you don’t really mind those things.“

“So good!! I ordered through Uber Eats and everything was packed so well. I had the sinigang, bbq pork belly skewers, lechon kawali, and sisig. I'm very picky about sinigang but theirs is the best I've ever had! The skewers were delicious. The lechon kawali was so crispy even though it had to survive a 10 mile drive. The sisig was really good too! I usually prefer mine a little spicier and vinegar-y but it was still great. I love all the pickles that come with it too. My family never ate pickles with our meals growing up, but it makes so much sense since filipino food can be so rich.No frills, just tasty food. Portions were really good, especially for the nova area. Will definitely order again!“

“Highly recommended, food was delicious and the service was excellent. I want to especially send a comment of appreciation to Diosis who was so kind an patient explaining how everything worked because I'm a first timer! I will definitely be back!“
