Okay so not to be critical but they make salads. Are they really good salads? I would say they are good. Mind blowing not sure about that, A couple things I liked. If you add a meat of some kind they grill it up fresh and that is great. I got salmon one day and it was very tasty. The ingredients are fresh as well and hey since it's a salad that's pretty important. Where they fall short is the lettuce is not chopped up enough and so you are stuck trying to cut up these giant lettuce leaves with a flimsy plastic knife and fork. Not site where their lettuce comes from but it's like something out of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2. Serious salad monsters. Second the people making the salads are what I can only describe as intense. I realize they are busy and in a hurry but as the joker would ask - why so glum? It just isn't a good vibe. I mean sorry your store is way too small for the hordes of people that try to jam in there but not really my issue. That brings us to number three. The place is small. Too small for the crowds they get. Hopefully they are going to move into the old Quiznos location a couple doors down. I mean seriously they almost need crowd control. If you like cozy well you'll really like it. No place to sit it is to go only. So would I go there again. After three visits I'm going to have to say no. Line is too long, the person on the grill is always behind, and well I want my lunch from people who can take 5 seconds to smile and be thankful that I'm supporting their business. So summary. Salads are good as long as you are okay with a few quirks. I'll wave at you when you're in line while I head down to metropolitan or Valhalla. Enjoy. read more

I love their salads and wide variety of fresh toppings including made to order meats like steak, chicken and shrimp which can be prepared a number of ways. My one complaint is that the oil based dressings (Asian, Apple cider vinaigrette, etc) taste like 80% oil. Absolutely gross and unhealthy! I have complained numerous times to no avail. Often times, I use my own salad dressing instead. Flavorful salad dressing should not be a problem for a restaurant that specializes in salads. If they fix the salad dressing issue, they would earn 5 stars from me. read more

Got the Crisp Cobb... quick service, great environment, clean. My chicken is really dry and there's hardly any tomatoes. I shoulda gone with the one with the steak in it. read more

So I was recommend to come here....after reviewing the menu I selected a flank steak sandwich...I was told they could not make this at this location...that's fine...I ordered a turkey wrap...and as my side I wanted a side salad.... It clearly states on the menu that this is an option...the lady told me that they do not offer it at this location...I proceeded to check out and asked for a water cup...I was then told they only have bottled water and there was not enough room for water cups?! Not sure why they would advertise a menu that is not available at a certain location..have a menu for this location if it is to small to make a full menu...extremely disappointed for a first visit... read more

Beware of bugs! The salads have many topping choices and can be pretty good, depending on who makes it, but I would watch out for BUGS in the salad! Today I ordered my own fruit and nut salad variation and about 3/4 of the way through it I found something that didn't look right, so I picked it out and wiped it on my napkin. Upon inspection, I realized it was a small, dead bug. Needless to say, I won't be returning! I have already emailed the company with a picture and am awaiting a response. read more

Crisp - Bug found in my salad 5/18/15. Nicely covered in Crisp's lemon vinaigrette dressing. - Salad Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I normally go here and get a salad or the Monterrey wrap. Today, I ordered the turkey bacon wrap and it was a huge mistake. The turkey is pretty much heap lunch meat. DO NOT GET IT! read more

Crisp - Do not get the weekly special, the turkey is cheap lunch meat. Pretty disappointed in this, specially to be priced at $10. - Salad Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I love the F.C.N. salad with chicken. My company usually orders in Crisp for meetings, so I never actually go there... til today. Even though I have my go-to item, it was still a little intimidating walking in because, as other reviewers have noted, the minute you walk in, it's your turn to order. The staff operate as a well-oiled machine, firing off questions as you walk down the counter, which I mostly knew the answer to but I was still a little overwhelmed! Thankfully it was a rainy Friday, so there was really no line at 12:15 p.m., and I got my salad pretty darn fast. The salad itself was delicious, but the bread chunk it comes with it always a little underwhelming. It was $10.99 for the salad without a drink - not too shabby. read more

A refreshing and varied take on salad offerings, which is not that plentiful, in downtown Charlotte.

Crisp is a staple for our lunch stops. Great salad and meat choices. I highly recommend the park loin salad or adding the grilled shrimp to any salad! The only downside is the price as it is a bit steep. read more

2 girl at the register are horrible. I have been grabbing the same Caesar salad with salmon and shrimp for the last year from the uptown location. Today the salmon on the salad taste burnt. Upon returning to have the salad remade the 2 girl (1 with dark hair other with blond wearing glasses) was rude. They spoke to me as if I was not familiar with how the salad should be prepared and presented. Keep in mind I eat this same salad at least 3 days a week. I requested to have chicken in the place of salmon and was asked did I know the difference between grill marks and burn marks because the chicken may have those. These are not cheap salad to be treated this way. If a salad is not prepared correctly the establishment should be will to remake without a question. I requested to speak with a manager and was told the location don't have any management. When asked for the owner information the blond with the glasses stated "Do you give out your bosses contact information?" I replied: Yes, I surely do. I will not recommend this place to anyone nor will I frequent this establishment. read more

Good stuff for healthy diet. Salmon grilled salad is very good and it is cheap too I got this for 10. Line was long but fast at service. Good place for lunch in uptown. read more

I love this spot, one of the best lunch options in Uptown Charlotte. It's a little pricey, but the quality of the food is worth it. One of the best parts is that if you order a salad with meat, they grill the meat fresh. Much better than having cold chicken or fish in your salad. Consistently very good read more

Very good salads, meat is grilled to order so it's hot & fresh. My only complaint is that they have seven different types of Vinaigrette but no Blue cheese dressing ... I guess it's not bourgeoisie enough... IMO Cobb salad needs Blue cheese Just Fresh is nearby (Wells Fargo Atrium) and is an economical alternative if you're looking for a salad-meal, but their meat is not cooked to order. read more

I used to go here frequently when they were at their previous (much smaller) location. The salads were always fresh and delicious. I have been several times at the new location and the quality of the food seems to have diminished. The lettuce looks like it has been there for days, especially if you go early and are trying to beat the lunch rush. The last time I went there was a hair in my salad. Needless to say, I will not waste my money here any longer. read more

Not again! Smell wasn't good as I entered the place. The lady who prepared my salad was wiping her sweet with her arms&shoulder. Ordered the special, grilled grouper salad, I paid and waited by the grill. 3-4 orders were delivered to the people who placed orders after me and then I realized that grouper was not even on the grill yet! I asked the lady about my order and she said "fish take longer". I didn't want to start an argument so I kept quite. After all, the salad wasn't good and the grouper wasn't cooked enough. Terrible. read more

Extremely busy but seemed to handle the crowd just fine. Only downfall is that they do not take orders over the phone, so if you are grabbing a bunch of orders for the office, you'll have to wait in line and be "That person" who orders for 10 minutes. They also don't offer sandwiches at this location after 11? The menu doesn't state that, so again, if you're taking an order for the office, be prepared to only send them one section of their menu to choose from. SALADS ONLY. read more

Great salad. I recommend the Chinese Shrimp. The shrimp is seared and cooked to perfection. If you're there for lunch during the week it gets packed around 12:15 read more

If you're new to Latta Arcade, it's not hard to find Crisp during lunchtime..it's the place with the really long lines. The salads are pretty tasty and they give you a good amount of food so it might seem expensive but for the amount you get, it's not so bad read more

I've been going to this place for months and I liked it... However, I saw TWO bugs in my salad today and I'm so disgusted.... I first saw a black bug of some sort, then a lady bug on the spinach, both in the same salad! This is ridiculous and I'm never going back again.... Ughhh read more

Really good salads, definitely a top choice for a quick and healthy lunch in uptown. However, always check your salad before leaving to make sure you have the right one. Crisp has trouble matching the right salad to the right bag far too often. read more

Hands down the best salad in Charlotte (at least for lunch Uptown). Great mix of greens and up to 5 toppings for $7 and with protein only $11! Can't beat it and the staff is super nice and always upbeat. Definitely one of a few go-to spots! read more

Got the special, Chicken Wrap with corn salsa on it and pasta salad as a side. Good food overall, not spectacular. Everyone working there was really nice, no complaints. read more

I am a huge fan. Annie and the staff are always nice and the food is as fresh as it gets. I think this is the best VALUE for soup, salads and wraps in uptown. If there is a line, it is worth the wait. The lunch "specials " are typically flavorful and inventive. I eat there 2x a week and have yet to have a bad experience. read more

The best salad in Charlotte - at any location but especially at Latta Arcade. The staff is so attentive and always make certain my salad is just as I ordered. It is my favorite place to eat in Charlotte. Thanks for taking such good care of me. read more

I really enjoy their salads with shrimp, but a 90 sanitation grade is unacceptable. the prior grade was also low and they seem to have the same issues each time.. Sadly, I will have to find another place for lunch/salads until they get their sanitation grade to an acceptable level of 95 and above. read more
