Tony at the Merchandise Mart location is who you need to go see. Extremely friendly, curious, kind, and a master behind the counter. Thank you Tony! read more

I thought the portion size for the recipe salads I ordered (a grain bold with chicken) was skimpy for the price. I went to the one in Wilmette and it's not a place I would want to eat at. It was freezing cold inside and the decor and seating were not at all inviting. Wanted to sit outside but it had rained and the tables and chairs had not been wiped down. It's basically a dupe for Cava and I think Cava is a better bang for your buck. read more

Stopped in here for a to go lunch at the Mart. I got a Buffalo chicken salad. I tried to order ahead in the app, but I waited too close to lunch and the pickup time was 1pm instead of closer to noon. The line was long, but it moves fast. If you're looking for a good salad, give this place a try. read more

Just Salad - Buffalo Chicken salad - Salad Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I'm a big fan of Just Salad because they make it so easy to stay on track with fitness goals. I love how they list their macros, and the wraps and salads are not only delicious but also fit perfectly into my diet during the week. It's such a great option for eating out while sticking to healthy habits. This was my first time trying the location in my neighborhood, which is conveniently located on the second floor of the Merchandise Mart. I ordered pickup after a workout, and my order was ready exactly 15 minutes later when I arrived. I went with my favorite--the Spicy Chicken Caesar Wrap--and it was just as amazing as always. Overall, Just Salad is a solid choice for anyone looking for a quick, healthy, and tasty meal. This location is super convenient, and I'll definitely be back! read more

Just Salad - Spicy Chicken Caesar Wrap - Salad Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The larger guy with the colored hair always makes the worst wraps. Skimpy on the fillings and doesn't wrap it well at all. Just slow down and do it right man. Literally any of the newer employees do a better job read more

Great Location. Order is always correct. Recommend to pre order via the app. Food taste great and so fresh. read more

Don't order ahead horrible customer service. My order wasn't ready for 2 hours and they refused to do anything about it.

Don't use the app to order. The pick up time for my food was supposed to be 12:29. I finally got it at 12:49.

Please let your employees put the market plate food into a bowl if requested! The market plates are large and cumbersome to eat from. Makes no sense to not allow the same exact food to be put in a different vessel... manager explanation was just "no"... no real explanation... read more

Fresh salads with great combinations. chicken poblanos salad is my go to salad. I tried their seasonal soup which was pumpkin bisque and it had chucks of pumpkin in it. delicious! Highly recommend if you are looking for healthy and fresh meal in the area. read more

Just Salad - Crispy Chicken Poblano and Large Pumpkin Bisque - Salad Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Yum - this is the perfect filling yet healthy option for lunch in the Merchandise Mart! Both days I was in the office, I wanted something light yet filling, and Just Salad scratched that itch. I love that they offer several suggested signature salads and bowls so you don't have to build your own each time! I got the Thai Chicken Crunch first, subbed a few things in and out, and it was delish. The second day I got the Caesar again again was able to sub in and out a few things, which I really appreciated. The team was speedy and accurate even with tons of people in line for the lunch rush. It's a great quick, healthy option at a reasonable price! read more

LOOOOOOOOVE JUST SALAD AT THE MERCHANDISE MART!! Oh la la!! Allow me to please sing the grand praises of this establishment. From the service to the quality to the portion sizes, I am impressed to the great moon and back!! Allow me to please tell the story of my great experience with Just Salad... For nearly six years, I quickly sauntered by this restaurant at least two times daily. It is hard for me to try a new place because I am very rigid and specific, demanding only the best when it regards my nourishment. So I never ordered. But one day, about two months ago, as I browsed a food delivery app, I noticed an advertisement for Just Salad, and I thought, "Oh such pretty salads!!" So I googled Just Salad and found their very own app which offered a $5 credit for the first order. After researching ingredients (all acceptable to me) and reading reviews, I excitedly ordered the Plant Power salad, delete the honey mustard dressing, adding 4x miso ginger dressing (I like a lot of dressing!). When I arrived to fetch my salad, I noticed an amusement park-sized line wrapped around the establishment; and I quickly ventured to the pickup section where a gentlemen so efficiently and properly announced customer names as he placed the orders either into the customers' hands or onto the to-go rack. I have since learned the name of this gentleman: Mike from corporate. Store managers Victor and Linda also passionately provide great service. In fact, all of the employees offer a divine experience!! AND THE SALAD IS ENORMOUS AND DELICIOUS, exactly something that my lunchtime needs and cravings command. I behave mostly as a vegan, and this restaurant, despite serving animal products, never cross contaminates into my vegan salad. It is always clean and wonderful. AND I HAVE ORDERED NEARLY EVERY WEEKDAY FOR THE PAST TWO MONTHS. HOW VERY BEAUTIFUL!! Please accept my review as a golden stamp on Just Salad at the Merchandise Mart. Absolutely exquisite!! read more

Can't believe it has taken me so long to try a Just Salad but wow I'm impressed! I saw they were located in the Merch Mart and was pumped to see some healthier lunch options here. I went in blind but was happy to see they had a section with popular choices and I ended up ordering the first one I read, which was the crispy chicken poblano. OUUUU - I see why it's so popular. Romaine + shredded kale, avocado, roasted corn, cotija cheese, pickled onions, tortillas, and crispy chicken. This salad was PERFECTION! The pickled onions really elevated it and added the perfect tang to compliment the rest of the flavors. It was served with a smoky poblano ranch dressing that's made in house. The meal in total was about 520 calories and super filling! Salads are pricey nowadays, but I feel like this was worth it and something I wouldn't feel bad about treating myself to every so often. You can also order warm bowls, wraps, and avocado toast, smoothies, and soups (despite the name LOL). The staff working was speedy and really kind to me as a first timer. I'm excited to come back and try more of the menu! read more

Loved the Mezze salad. Line was long, but went quickly. Great service, especially from Eleanor! Will be back for lunch! read more

If you want a fast, healthy, delicious salad for under $20, this is your spot. I can't count how many times I've said I wish there was a place that "just had salads." Just Salad listened. If every salad is as good as the Winter Harvest, then I'd eat here every day. Full of a variety of vegetables+ chicken, I knew I was getting my vitamins and protein, and it was delicious to boot. I got a "pick two" combo with a smoothie, and the smoothie certainly tasted healthy but was less yummy. I wish we had one of these places by my house! read more

Highly recommend. Staff are extremely friendly and take good care of their customers. I had an issue with my order from another location, and the manager re-made it for me even though they were super busy. The restaurant also runs extremely efficiently and the ingredients are always fresh. read more

I was intimidated initially by the line, but it moved really quickly. I was in and out in probably ten minutes, even though the line stretched to the entrance point. I got the summer salad, which had romaine, beets, blood oranges, quinoa, goat cheese, mint, and almonds, aside some other goodies. The bowl was well balanced and had just the right amount of different textures. I'm a sucker for goat cheese, and I liked the drama that the blood oranges brought. The dill and mint added an extra breath of freshness. It's nice to have a healthier option- I really wish there were more salad places like this in my city. read more

My salad was below par for sure. Crispy chicken was microwaveable tenders that weren't even warmed when I ordered. But above all, the customer service was HORRIBLE! The older man who waited on me was RUDE and acted as though me and my daughter were a burden. I intended to order 4 salads for my family, but after the way the older man treated me, my daughter walked off and told her siblings to choose something else. Unfortunately I felt obligated to continue my order. After I ate my sad $16 salad, I treated my children to much better food with a much better experience. Shame on YOU to the man who made us feel unwelcomed. read more

I love Just Salad ! And this location is my lunch go to. My favorite salad is the Tokyo super greens with tofu! Also, I love the logo they added to the lids. Nice touch. read more

These guys kill it! Great service even in the middle of lunch rush. Really nice people. Manager multi tasked and made my salad and checked me out today. Great vegan salad but forgot my vegan Feta cheese else would be 5 stars. read more

I tried the new Just Salad in the Merchandise Mart today and loved it! I opted to pay the $1 for a reusable bowl and ordered the California salad. It was really good-- the salad is chopped so every bite had a perfect amount of salad dressing! It was a large serving (but for $10-$11, I would hope my salad would be large). Someone asked what I would be ordering and then handed me a ticket which I gave to someone behind the counter-- it was seemingly chaotic behind the counter but it was overall a seamless experience for me on the other side. I received my salad quickly despite me getting there at noon. I will go back! read more

Got this from the app too good to go and the dish was decent! The seasoning was a little light so tasted a little bland towards the end. The mushrooms were well seasoned and the rice was perfectly cooked. read more

Fresh Salads with great options! Great Stafff! Lupe is always super helpful and wonderful!! The staff is super quick and the salads are always the best! I get a salad about 3 times a week and am fully addicted. The staff and management are just the best! Love seeing them for my lunch run! read more

This Just Salad location is the best in the city. They are very quick and efficient and get you in and out even with a long line during rush hour. Employees are friendly and quick, Lupe there is very friendly and a great help at recommending a substitution if they are out of stock on something. The Management there definitely knows how to run a great and efficient staff. read more

They just can't seen to get my orders right. I used to order regularly, however after repeated errors I stopped. Thought I would give them another try some months later. So I ordered a crispy poblano chicken salad. So what happens when I receive my order, NO CHICKEN!!!! This will be the absolute last time I order from them read more

Wrote a bad review about these sad overpriced salads and vowed never to come back so long as I love myself. However I had to order for a group of 9 after a vote. Showed up early to pick up and they were out of some ingredients for a particular salad so I asked it just cancel the 2 and refund me. I was advised that it was not possible and I had to reselect. So I did which is total BS. As I was there watching them.... I reminded the same woman that I requested bread. She proceeds to pack all without. I reminded her again and she replies "I BELIEVE it is all in there".... Basically lie to me rather than tell me that they are out of yet one more thing. GGGGRRRRRR. I hate this place. read more

First time getting something from here. I had always walked past it but decided to go in today. Great portion sizes and super healthy! Instead of something greasy, my wrap was light but very filling to keep me productive post lunch. I got the vegan chipotle wrap. The staff, Annie and Nallely, were super friendly. They were patient with me since I was taking forever to decide what I wanted to get. read more

What a great addition to lunch options in the Merch Mart! Fresh, filling, and friendly! I was excited to see this place pop up in the Mart, and I finally made my way in there today. Pretty straightforward ordering process and an expansive menu! Variety of salads or you can choose to build your own. The Thai Chicken Crunch caught my eye (I love a spicy peanut dressing), with romaine, grilled chicken, carrots, celery, and wontons! The salad is chopped so you get the perfect crunch with every bite! You can also choose light, medium, or heavy dressing which I appreciated. The spicy peanut dressing is creamy, but not heavy, and has the perfect kick to it! The salad is huge! You never know with a salad if you're going to be full after eating it, but with this one, I definitely was. The staff was also very nice. The lady helping me could tell this was my first time, and walked me down the line to make sure I knew exactly what I was getting. So nice! I went on an off time so it wasn't crowded, but due to their small size, I can see this place being wild during peak lunch hours. Overall a great salad and great experience! I'll definitely be adding Just Salad to my rotating lunch options! read more

Tried to order the pick two with warm chicken and goat cheese salad, only to be told that the warm salads are not available with pick 2. I said fine I will order just the salad. They still used the smaller pick 2 salad bowl and charged me as much as a larger bowl. My friend that got a larger salad bowl with cold chicken paid less. When I asked why my salad costs so much for a smaller bowl, the worker said the warm chicken costs more. Hmm, my guess is that you gave me the pick 2 small bowl! Not worth the over $12 price. read more

Just Salad... you mean JUST AMAZING!! Order the Forager's Warm bowl.. you will not be disappointed! read more

Great place, great salad and great concept but man ordering is a mind f***. I really feel no peace in thinking what I want or getting the time to hearing them well enough to understand what I am going to be eating. I just pray I say YES to the right things. read more

We'd just discovered Just Salad and we love it! We tasted différents salads and all are very tasty and good. They ask you what kind and quantity of dressing do you want. Everything is fresh, sustainable and vegetables comes from the nearby. I love the sustainability for the bowls and forks. A place to be, where everybody has to go!! read more

Good food and good service. My only issue with just salad as a whole is that each store is very different in how it is run! For example three will charge me for extra breaded chicken but three won't! Two offer salt and pepper and three don't etc. read more

This spot was recently added to the Mart the last few months, and everyday I would walk past for work I tell myself I'm gonna try them. So finally one day I stopped in for a smoothie, & employee Niecole suggested the peanut butter one which is her favorite. I told her I don't like peanut butter but I would trust her. And turns out..it was good! So I double back like a month later for a salad, & was politely greeted by Niecole again & told her I love spicy food so she suggested a Buffalo Chicken Salad....& it was so so good! Serving size makes up for what some feel is pricey. Manager Danny was also very nice & welcoming. I will definitely be returning! read more

I tried this place for the first time this week and I was hooked. The selection is awesome, the taste and freshness was superb. The employees were very nice and knew everything about what I was asking about. Great service, great taste, I highly recommend. Thank you read more

So happy for a centrally located Just Salad near me. Expert service - everyone is so patient and kind. My BYO Salad was just what I wanted and excellent price for the size. read more

LOVE IT!!!!! Store was so clean. And niecole and tashjorie were awesome and really guided me thru the menu and helped me pick out the perfect salad!!!!!!!!! Def coming back since I work in the building. Woohoo read more

First time trying this place and I absolutely love it! They have so many options to pick from, I was lucky enough to have Brandon be patient enough to pair me with the Chipotle Cowboy salad, it was by far the best salad I've had! Will be going back soon! read more

I stopped in Just Salad only because it was Black Friday and nothing was open. The young woman who took care of me, Nia, and the other woman who helped her with my order were great and had a remarkably pleasant attitude....especially on a day when no one wants to be at work! My salad (pesto chicken) was very fresh and tasty and so was the chicken noodle soup (though I would have preferred less salt). I will definitely go back. read more

Great addition to the march mart. Everyone work works there is super friendly! Especially have to shout out to Ahnday! Always so helpful and smiling. Yah! read more
