41 Best Salad Restaurants in Madison

“Great atmosphere, service, food and drinks. Glad to have found this place!“

“It’s a big, balanced bowl of food for like ten dollars. Plus a few bucks for protein. be warned, one bowl is a LOT of food for one person. Great value, and the food tasted pretty good.

Vegetarian options: Basically everything is base vegetarian, and then you add protein. They have tofu, tempeh, egg, and lentil meatballs.“

“Delicious Halal food in an unpretentious space. We had the grilled peach salad, beet salad, beef kebab and baklava. Also got the hot tea with ginger, mint and honey. The hummus is great, the service is kind and competent and the food is aromatic, fresh and healthy. Will return soon.“

“Always amazing salads and great service too. Love to eat here when I am in town. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We wanted to extend our heartfelt thanks to the One and Only for hosting an incredible elopement dinner for our family! Robin was fantastic in helping us plan details and menu selections ahead of time, ensuring a seamless experience for our guests. We enjoyed the Deviled Eggs, Roasted Red Pepper Dish, and were delighted by the complimentary Roasted Green Bean Salad from the Chef. All three dishes were absolutely delicious!

For our main courses, we had the Stacked Burger, Scallops, Steak, and Hand Breaded Chicken Tenders. Each dish was beautifully plated and generously portioned. Our server and other staff were attentive and made sure we had everything we needed.

We had little ones in our party, and they were very accommodating by providing highchairs, a children’s menu, and kid-friendly cups. Additionally, we had a guest in a wheelchair, and the space was accessible for them, which was great.

Thank you so much for hosting us! We highly recommend the One and Only to anyone looking to host an event.“

“You know the food is going to be delicious, when you hear the pressure cooker releasing steam in the kitchen. And the items we ordered did not disappoint.

We ordered Ngoethuk, Mothuk, Tingmo, and the famed butter tea. Ngoethuk (chow mein) comes with a side of delicious broth. The hearty Mothuk (dumplings in a soup) warms the soul. The spice levels are adjustable for all items.

Although savory, we saved the butter tea and the Tingmo (rolled steamed bread) for “dessert”.

The servers are friendly and the atmosphere is cozy, yet welcoming. It feels like I am at my friend’s house and their parents are feeding us.

We have been there twice now and always look forward to going back to try out their other menu items.“

“now test is good and food decorate is look good only Padthai test ok but noodles must make more solf then will perfect“

“Noodles is a very unique place when it comes to serving pasta. I ordered the bbq mac n cheese a couple of times, it’s very damn good. Also, the inside may not be very big but it’s very appealing to look around. 9/10, would recommend

Kid-friendliness: There’s a lot of high schoolers who go there for lunch’s and whiles it’s busy they all keep there cool.“

“look at the picture of the BBQ Brisket sandwich and then order one and see what it looks like 🤣🤣🤣 pathetic portions. I was so ready to devour a giant sandwich, this thing ended up being so tiny. also y'all gave me the wrong lettuce“

“The place was super chill and we were the only customer there. Pizza and tots came out fresh n hot! I got the vegan option and it was so fluffy and savory! The sweet bbq sauce taste is strong a little too sweet for me since there was pineapples on it too but I would order again! The tots were surprisingly super good! I wasn’t expecting much but it was so crispy and tossed in something cause we finish it pretty quick.“

“Vegan option was yummy! Thanks for the labels! Will be back“

“They helped me out with a last-minute catering order for a PTO/school in a pinch and they were great. Super easy to work with!

Kurtilius, the GM was especially impressive and so nice/easy to work with. I'm fairly sure he filled our order for 80 himself. Great guy, great team, please support this business.“

“It was great the atmosphere is very nice and peaceful, the location was great it's not in downtown Madison on state street like the other one and you can actually find a place to park which is great. The pizza was 10/10. The building is so cool. Don't know why some karen left a 2 star review because they wouldn't give her free pizza that doesn't seem fair at all to the business. Paid $26 for 4 slices of pizza total, and 2 canned sodas for 2 people to eat. The employees we dealt with were friendly.

Parking: Easy to park outside, didn't have to pay for parking“

“Classic supper club vibe, packs in hungry carnivores. Service is polished and professional, but approachable. Whether you’re planning a special meal or just passing through Madison, it’s worth the stop.“

“Great food, friendly service.“

“Clean, unfussy, and welcoming atmosphere with fresh and delicious food! We went for lunch and ordered poke bowls. You build your bowl by checking off options on a paper and get a made-to-order delicious fresh meal. We arrived mildly hungry and devoured our bowls; They were so tasty.“

“We love the chicken nuggets!! Our favorite sauce is honey roasted bbq !! Great food and service our desserts were fantastic! We only wish that there was one in our home town of Wausau,WI it would be a huge hit!!“

“Took a friend out here to treat her for being helpful since this is her favorite place.

I honestly can't think of any complaints. We were seated immediately, and the food came out rather quickly as well (?)

All in all, it was a decent meal. My friend said the same.“

“Alas, all you can hope for in the morning is a quick and reliable spicy chicken biscuit sandwich, and that’s exactly what I got. HOT TIP: you get a free breakfast item Tuesday morning if you order through the app! Learn from my silly mistake.“

“We went for the Muffaletta sandwich. Worth it!“

“Chebs Hut in three ( 3 ) blunts. White Widow - all the flavors and textures especially with garlic bread, just an amazing sandwich! Magic Mushroom - yo, portobello and Asian flavors on that garlic bread, hell yeah!! Dank - pizza sub. Perfect cheese n pepperoni, lots but so yummy and perfect! Had fun at the bar, great vibe from the staff and patrons. My kinda joint 😀“

“It’s an Olive Garden, plain and simple. You want pasta, you’ll get it. You want moderate pricing, you’ll get it. Walked in and waited for 15 minutes, got to our table and started destroying our free bread and salad (get at least 1 salad to help balance the demonic amount of delicious carbs you’re gonna be ingesting).

We got shrimp alfredo, chicken alfredo, and shrimp carbonara. The carbonara is my personal preference as it’s more creamy compared to alfredo but they’re all pretty good.

I will say the staff here are super nice and they really made the experience way better. Asking lots of questions and always following up for more bread, salad, more bread, water, drinks, and more bread.“

“Great food, great service, nice patio, and some really good beers. Dog friendly on the patio. Highly recommend.“

“we came in with like, 40 other people from a marching band and these guys handled it phenomenally. they got us through the line quick, and then the food was absolutely AMAZING. it was so good and the woman behind the counter was so so kind and hardworking.“

“Best Poke in Madison - I keep trying others but none compare. Highly recommend the Hawaii green bowl.“

“Had a good experience but couldn’t stay long to check everything out.“

“Wow - what a pleasant dining option at the Memorial Union! It offers both made to order sandwiches and salads as well as grab and go items. I was totally impressed with the quinoa black salad I ordered for lunch - excellent mix of textures and the flavors of the components complimented each other. There are no tables at Carte to dine-in, but its not difficult to find a table elsewhere in the Union (Strada, the Rathskeller, the Terrace).“

“We love this place! We love the Portabella Lugosi and Boris Karloff pizza…both are fantastic. Everything is always fresh and hot when it arrives for delivery. I’m not sure how they keep my fried mushrooms hot for delivery but they always arrive steaming. I def recommend if you have not tried…you wont be disappointed.“

“We had the French dip and gyros sandwiches, which were both quite good. A nice lunch. The restaurant interior is less funky than dumpy. We suggest a paint job, new furniture and clean up the terrazzo floor. The food is more important though. Very good!“

“Best breakfast buffet for a hotel. Not free though. Nice workers. Nice decor. Inside the Doubletree Hotel so very convenient.“

“Came with a group of 6, teens and adults. Everyone was able to find something they liked on the menu. The service was very personal and excellent. The food tasted great. The cheese curds are a must have. The portions were more than generous.“

“Great dogs and Italian Beef! Fun inside decor“

“Everyone who works here is extremely nice! And I can earn rewards back on my gas with Moocho. #Winning“

“I have been looking for a good Döner since coming back to the states and this is absolutely the best one. Most friendly staff, and the best food ever. 🥰“

“My friend and I both got mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese was good, but I would recommend making the switch back to 100% ceramic bowls. She was upset to have received a plastic bowl and stated that it “ruined her experience” employees were nice, building is pretty.“

“I’ve taken my 1 and 3 year olds here twice now, as a solo parent outing, and both times the staff have gone above and beyond to help make everything easier for me while I manage getting my kids situated. The first time they brought my food out to my table after they saw my hands were totally full and this time the manager brought two cookies out to my kids. That was so unexpected and my 3 year old felt so special! Thank you so much for being a wonderful place for me to take my kids to!“

“Don't listen to the bad reviews. I take home a salad from here several times a week and have never had a bad experience. Food is great, service is awesome, everyone who works here is really cool and should be proud of the restaurant they're running.“

“I love panera bread the sandwiches is good“

“Outstanding service and food. Matti was exceptional. He observed from my hat that I was a veteran.and thanked me for my service. We are from out of town but will make a point to return. Thank you Panera breads and Matti you made our day.“

“Excellent customer service experience with them today; they corrected a mistake that WASN'T EVEN THEIR FAULT!!!

DoorDash delivery driver picked up my order, then STOPPED - a few blocks away, for >20 min (I'm 12 min from the Panera....).

Seeing the delay in my delivery time I called the driver, who was rude and admitted he was stopped because he was "waiting to pick up a friend from work". When I responded to ask if he legit stopped, after picking up my food, he yelled back at me "what do you f'ing want to do about it?!"

At that point, the order was on track to be in the driver's car >40 min, so the hot food would be cold and nasty, AND, I was worried he would tamper or mess with our food out of spite.

I called the Panera directly and talked with Paul (or Paulo?), who was the manager, and he apologized for the botched delivery, cancelled the order, and immediately had a new one made up and sent out (with a new driver). He called DoorDash on my behalf and gave me their number to file a report for this driver.

Replacement order was fast & fresh.

AND - the DoorDash rep confirmed that drivers are NOT supposed to stop after picking up food deliveries to run errands, etc. LOL

Give this place a try, and don't be afraid to advocate for yourself if you have a mistake in your order (vs. just ranting in a review). They genuinely wanted to make things right, and they did.“
