At what point does a salad stop being a salad, and start becoming legally eligible to be classified as rabbit food? I don't have a good answer, except to say this: wherever that line is, I felt as though Just Salad crossed it. All this, with a price point greater than 5lbs of 'actual' rabbit food. I'd ordered a Maple Crispy Chicken Salad. I feel deceived by the photo on the menu, for it felt as though it were mostly spinach and arugula, with everything else being as if an afterthought. The cheddar, almonds, cranberries, corn, and carrots were in amounts too small to offer a balance or contrast to the greens. Meanwhile, the amount of chicken was straight-up laughable. It felt like a little treasure hunt for a little protein! Now, drumroll please... A bowl of mostly greens and a meager amount of extras for right around $15 before tax... eep! Severely overpriced if you ask me. I will give them points for the ingredients being fresh, and not seeming like they'd been sitting out for too long. I'd also like to give a shoutout for the fast service, though to be fair I did stop in just before the lunch rush. With all of this, I would ordinarily award two stars. However, a month or so again had a Spicy Chicken Caesar Wrap, which didn't suffer from my qualms with the salad. This one was well balanced, and not simply greens in a tortilla. While also overpriced in my opinion, not as severely as the salad. read more

turned this freshii girl... the ingredients are fresh and plentiful (read - they aren't scraping up remnants from the bins to plop onto your salad). love my earth bowl and will go back to try at least 3 more of their creations (or make my own). the toppings are bountiful and they are fast and efficient (unlike sweet greens). wish this would open closer to home but happy to have it nearby the office! read more

First time in Northbrook. I ordered the Warm Hot Honey Harvest. We'll it was not warm, chicken was not fresh, it was so tough and it didn't have a HINT of honey. It will literally take minutes to grill a couple of stripes of chicken and and hot honey, it would make a huge difference. I was really looking forward to this new place and really disappointed. read more

While I can safely call myself a salad girl, I was on the search for a wrap since I needed to eat while on the go at work. Luckily, Just Salad offers a vegan chick'n wrap that was perfect! Crunchy pieces of vegan chicken packed with fresh veggies and topped with a tangy Chipotle sauce. Everything was mixed and wrapped well so there were no issues enjoying it during my event. I only wish that there was a way to toast the wrap since that would have made it extra good. But for a $13 wrap in the city, it was great to be able to enjoy a completely vegan option on the menu that wasn't just greens and a dressing. read more

We are still ordering from Just Salad all the time, whether it be for just all of us in the office, or for meetings. We love their salads, bowls and smoothies. Everything is just delicious.

I would highly recommend Just Salad. read more

I got the hot honey harvest salad through Grubhub. They forgot to put apples, so I was a bit disappointed about that. I buy a lot of salads through Grubhub places for lunch and try new ones, and this was probably the smallest portion I've gotten. However, the food was all fresh, thr flavors were yummy, and even though it was small, I wasn't left hungry. The chicken was juicy, and I really enjoyed the flavors of everything. read more

Just Salad... ilysm. Please can you come to Milwaukee? I come down to Chicago now and again to visit our office in the Merchandise Mart, and this spot is always, always my go-to for lunch. Here you'll find customized salads, wraps and smoothies (aka my dream). When I say customized, let me tell ya, you can literally make anything you want, or make alterations on an existing menu item. Most recently, I oped for the Thai Chicken Crunch salad and it was a delight. The romaine was extra crispy, and all of the toppings paired well together: roasted chicken, sliced carrots and cucumbers, fresh cilantro, shredded cabbage, and wonton strips. Oh and let's not forget the best part, which is the spicy Thai peanut dressing + squeezed lime. The whole thing was very light, refreshing, and tasty! Also, they have drink options that I love (but are often hard to find), like the Poppi prebiotic soda. I went with watermelon flavor and it was great. The staff here are immensely fast, like it's no joke. If you approach the restaurant and think "oh that line is long," fear not! Because they are so, so speedy. It doesn't make for them being the most friendly, since they clearly have a fast-paced job to get done (no time for chit-chat), but hey, ya come for the food, em-i-rite? read more

I loved this spot. I was staying at the Hyatt Regency next door to the Illinois Center and came by here a couple of times. It was really great to get a fresh and healthy salad for lunch a few days. I like how everything is customizable but they have such great combinations. I tried the chicken poblano one day and that was kinda like a zesty caesar type salad. I had the vegan salad the next day and that was also good. I feel like the portions are a good lunch size. Also the staff was very friendly and helpful. I did wish they were open on the weekends though I understand that they mostly cater to folks who work in the area and not the tourists who come by. read more

Definitely pay close attention to the complaints regarding them messing up your order. I placed an online order and got to the restaurant around 45 minutes later due to unexpected traffic. They didn't seem to know where my order was and acted as though I was not telling the truth when I said that I placed the order around 45 mins earlier. I was offering this information for context and certainly did not expect to be challenged about it. I proceeded to show the order pick up time as compared to the current time. They offered no apology or accepted any accountability for taking payment for an order and then expecting me to come in and wait for them to figure out what they did with it , all while being rather confrontational and not helpful. The customer service is beyond unacceptable. I would not have been as bothered if they had simply apologized and fixed the issue. If they can't get the basic processing of your order done properly, how can you expect them to make your order correctly? And if they can't accept accountability for poor service, how can they plan to improve for the next customer? Do yourself a favor and stay away. Rather than deal with this, I would just go to McDonalds. read more

Salad was delicious the server Nallely made it with care it was soo delicious I definitely will return. Nice quiet peaceful place

Yum! So many healthy choices to choose from. I think I have completely overdid it with all the toppings but my salad still turned out to be quite delicious. I'm taking one star off because I wasn't asked about my choice of the dressing, my salad was tossed with Buffalo sauce which is not my favorite. Oh well. I will certainly be back and will recommend this place. read more

I find myself craving the Crispy Chicken Poblano salad often! The flavors mesh perfectly from the corn, pickled red onions, and cheese. The chicken is just ok as most chicken at chain salad places is but I like the texture of the crispy chicken with this salad. They also give you a fresh lime wedge which is the perfect addition. I like the bread at Just Salad too, it's simple as expected but more of a focaccia which is a little different from other chains. For the price, I wish the portions were a little bigger (sometimes I am still a little hungry after my salad) but I like the flavors enough to make it worth going. Highly recommend this salad!! read more

It's an alternative to Sweet Green if you're looking for more salad variety. The place is packed at lunch time. The line snaked through restaurant. It moves quickly. It was my first time - I tried a warm salad (Chicken Cilantro) that was filing and tasty. You move through the line pretty quickly if you order off the menu. They'll prep your salad in minutes. It can be chaotic. Receipts were falling into servings bins and cutting services being re-used. In minutes, the cashier will have rung up your order and you're out the door. read more

Delicious and convenient food that is reasonably healthy too. Good place to go to for lunch if you work in the area. A better sweetgreen. read more

Stopped in today since this is one of the most convenient places for me to grab lunch and I was out running errands on my lunch hour. Their crispy chicken salad is really, really good, and the salad dressing is so delicious! Ever since I visited another place in Asheville that had a spicy jalapeño (or other pepper) dressing, I have been craving it, and the spicy dressing they have here is fantastic. I wish they'd bottle it. I'm glad it's near work so I can get some veggies in easily if I like. read more

Wonderful people good assistance good service very good food I especially love Thelma and wladimir they always help me all the time

I ordered Just Salad for the first time ever during my lunch break, and I think I'm in love. I built my own warm bowl with the broccoli/cauliflower rice, oven-roasted chicken, golden beets, balsamic mushrooms, avocado, cucumber, roasted sweet potatoes, and the spicy turmeric tahini sauce on the side. The broccoli/cauliflower rice is a MUST (so good) and I loved this dressing. I ordered online and it said the expected wait time was 20 minutes, but it was ready to go in probably 10 or less. I love the sustainability aspect of this company too with compostable materials! The ONLY reason this isn't getting a 5 star review is because the cost of my bowl was $15.50 after tax (a little pricey imo), and I felt like it wasn't big enough of a portion when compared to Sweetgreen's bowls. read more

I got a surprise bag of leftover food from Too Good to Go, which is an app that lets restaurants sell food at a discount that would have otherwise been thrown out. I appreciate that Just Salad is on the app and fighting food waste! I got a bowl with lettuce, rice, Brussels sprouts, pico, and tofu (I did not get to pick what was in it). The bowl was pretty good and had a good amount of food in it. The only issue was that the tofu had a weird, offputting texture. Also, it took awhile for a staff member to come out after I walked up and called out "hello". read more

For a $13+ salad-only place, I think most people expect it to be filled with fresh greens. To be fair, it was a Monday and was probably a batch from Friday but someone should have checked the freshness before making salads on Monday. Probably will return but not on a Monday. read more

Got the Crispy Chicken wrap and it was delicious. Also got the detox smoothie and that was a huge disappointment. It tasted of watered down pineapple juice while it was supposed to have apple, spinach, lemon and ginger in it...didn't taste any of that. She put about 2 leaves of spinach in, a massive cup of ice and then poured water in it so it's not surprising there wasn't a lot of flavor. Definitely not worth it. read more

I've been here twice (most recently 10/19/22) for lunch, and LOVED both items I chose, though 1 more than another. First time I ordered a warm bowl, with butternut squash, goat cheese and balsamic dressing. I subbed out the chicken thighs for Beyond Chicken. It was SO GOOD!! Yesterday I ordered something else, the Chipotle Cowboy, also with Beyond Chicken. Super tasty, but a wee bit spicy for me, I think next time I'll ask for 1/2 ranch, and 1/2 Chipotle dressing. It's nice they have protein options, even for vegans!! I also tried the reusable bowl option, for $1, and it came with a free topping. Will def go back!! read more

great service from Alex!! definitely would come back and i love that it is a great healthy alternative

As a Californian, I have to say that I am jealous of Chicagoans for having this awesome place for lunch all over the place. You can build your own salad, Subway style, or pick one of their pre-arranged salads. They even have some quick take-away options. I had the Chicken Shawarma Salad - for $11.50, it was a generous bowl of chopped romaine and shredded red cabbage, lots of chicken shawarma chunks (that were warm), feta cheese, chickpeas, Kalamata olives and cucumbers in a creamy yogurt herb dressing. It was protein packed, super fresh and absolutely delicious. While my salad wasn't exactly tossed, I could get the good stuff from the middle and mix it with the greens. The staff is efficient, and there are plenty of them. They are definitely working on getting people through the door. They aren't the friendliest group of gals, but they get the job done. I wish that they were in my neighborhood! This is a great place for a modestly priced lunch. read more

Just Salad is a great spot to grab a healthy and filling lunch in the loop. My go-to salad is the California Salad with balsamic and olive oil (about $11 with tax). Perk Alert* (1) Buy a $1 reusable bowl and get a free topping (like avocado) with every use; or (2) show your student ID card and you get a 10% discount. Lunch rush in the loop can draw long lines so order ahead or stop in early around 11:30 a.m. or after 1:30 p.m. Service is good and staff are friendly! read more

I sent the following message to Just Salad customer service a few weeks back: "They were out of the Daring chicken today, so they offered another protein. I don't eat meat so I changed course completely and ordered a different salad. The staff member & manager both apologized. I've seen the manager there before. She's always helping the employees out and offers smiles to customers. We shared a laugh about something further on down the line. By that point I had decided I would send this message. Then the employee told me my salad was comped - nice! This is the second or third time I've been pleasantly surprised when visiting that location, aside from getting a well-made salad with fresh ingredients. I'm convinced that the manager is helping the place run like a well-oiled machine (even if the Daring chicken occasionally runs out during the lunch rush), and for that, she should be lauded." Everyone at this location is super friendly yet efficient. I recognize that can be a challenge when there so many people coming through at lunch time. Even when I order a MealPal, they jump right to it if it isn't already made. They also offer promos if you purchase or bring back one of their bowls, so they're saving the earth as well as keeping their customers healthy. Sure, $10-12 for a salad with tax is a bit steep, but I'm happy to pay a little more for healthy & sustainable eating on top of excellent service. Oh and the app is helpful to make payment and includes rewards after you buy a few salads. What can I say? I'm a fan! Edit: After perusing some of the other reviews I see the manager's name is Rosie. Thanks fellow Yelpers! read more

Slightly above average. Salad was good, but restaurant was dirty. Staff was reasonably helpful but not very cheerful.

So my first experience here was rather stressful.... I was in the city temporarily for work and just looking for a quick, simple salad for lunch. Unfortunately within the loop, the lunch "rush" is a bit ridiculous and you can spend the majority of your lunch break standing in line waiting for food. I lucked out and saw there was a small line for Just Salad... I was new to the concept, but right away you can see it's just a quick assembly line (Chipotle Style) where you can customize your salad or pick from a number of pre-set options on their menu. Once I talked to the nice person at the front of the line, I got a ticket and then proceeded "into the funnel" and gave my ticket to see my salad assembled. You can customize the pre-set salads as well... just need to tell them. Once your salad base is set, you are sent down the line where your name will be called to one of 4 chopping stations where the salad will be finished. They will ask you if you want bread, how much dressing you want mixed in, and if you want your salad chopped. Your salad then goes into a plastic container and you proceed down to the register to check out. When this place does get busy, it feels like the employees are yelling at you, but I think they are just trying to keep the line moving. Looks like they have plastic washable containers you can buy for them if you frequent this place a lot and want to save the environment from all the extra packaging. Overall, I've returned as a "veteran" but this is a place to get a fast, affordable salad for lunch in the loop. The dining space is modern... nice art on the wall that promotes green farming, fresh food, and clean eating. read more
