Edamame Crunch is my JAM! I recently discovered it and Just Salad last week, when I brought home dinner for my husband and me. I picked up takeout dinner on my way home after work. I installed the JS app and placed my order ahead of time that way. I got the Edamame Crunch warm bowl for me. He wanted the Tokyo Super greens with tofu and a PB smoothie. This Sunday, my husband and I had lunch at the JS location in Livingston. It's nice inside! The building looks small from the outside, but it feels much roomier when you go inside. Lots of seating, toddler friendly with high chairs. Like the DQ and Twisted Tulip, there are also outdoor tables for when the weather is nice. The guy who took my order and made our salads was friendly and polite. JS promotes sustainability also, which we like and try to live by. Utensils are compostable, and JS does this reusable bowl option when ordering takeout/to-go (didn't try this yet)... We're fans and would recommend Just Salad. read more

I like the food here and have been coming very regularly since it opened. Probably 2-3 times a month at minimum. The staff is generally nice enough. Not an enthusiastically happy bunch but not at all rude. Most of my complaints are likely related to management, as staff generally require training and support to be above average. My comparisons here are to Chopt, where I get elite status by March or April every year. -They forget to add the included bread at least 75% of the time. -The crispy chicken is like 1990's frozen nuggets. -The bowls for salads are shallow, small, and never close to full. -The wraps are fairly small. -Dressing amounts vary from just right to way too much. -My order is never ready on time. I've learned to order way in advance. -Drive through is great, but no waiting area or queue management (ie. "pull over there and we'll bring it out") for people who they need significant time to prepare orders for, so everyone sits in line. -Seemingly zero ventilation. It smells like you're eating in the kitchen. Very strong smorgasbord of food odors, if that bothers you. -Rewards system is ULTRA stingy about earning a free bowl (you get a raffle reward with each order and have to collect eight stamps for a free salad, but the stamps expire before you could ever possibly collect eight unless, I assume, you come nearly every day). Those are my complaints after years of eating there. On the positive side, and the reason I keep coming back: -The food is fresh. The non-fried chicken is delicious. -It's in a great location for a lot of people at the corner of Eisenhower and Route 10. -Plenty of options, including bowls. My wife likes the soup. -Drive through. -Rewards system usually gives a free snack/sweet or canned seltzer for next visit. Overall, I'm happy to eat here despite the prices not really reflecting the smaller portions. It's slightly cheaper than Chopt, but I would likely only eat at Chopt if it were closer to my house. I'll keep coming but after I received a very small salad yesterday (still delicious) and they forgot my bread again yesterday, I decided to write this, hoping someone sees it. Right now, this location has a captive market but it's a nearby quality competitor away from losing a customer. read more

Confession: I don't crave salad often. In fact, I can probably count on one hand the number of times I've thought, "You know what sounds AMAZING right now? Lettuce." So imagine my excitement when I discovered Just Salad has a drive thru and was conveniently on my way home. Eager to satisfy my once-in-a-lifetime craving for lettuce, I excitedly pulled into the drive thru only to discover there were no salads listed on the menu. An interesting choice for a restaurant called Just Salad. I told the employee I wanted a soup and salad and asked about the missing menu items. Her response? "Oh, well you can look it up online." I don't actually mind looking it up online. What I mind is customer service that makes an inconvenience feel like it's your inconvenience and not theirs. A simple, "I'm sorry about that--we're working on fixing it," would've gone a long way. The soup was comforting, the salad was just okay, and my brief love affair with Just Salad has officially come to an end. I think I'll be cheating on Just Salad with Chop't next time. read more

Good salad. Had a buffalo chicken salad. Space is small but good selection of food. Can sit down and eat inside or outside the restaurant. Good service. read more

Finally got a chance to try this place out.. good menu choices. We came on a busy Friday at lunchtime. Waited a long time to order. It seems as though staff do not have a good system in place for drive through orders, Uber Eats/doordash/etc, and in person orders. Very rushed, stressed, and not friendly staff and I can't blame them. I'd be too with all of that going on. Ingredients were fresh, but for 3 salads and drinks we spent $55 and I thought that was a lot of money. Inside wasn't totally clean but staff could barely manage what was going on so cleaning the tables and floors was probably not a high priority. It was a good salad but not something I'd rush back for. read more

Convenient parking out front and separate from the Dairy Queen next door. The staff was friendly and welcoming. I ordered takeout pickup while my friend dined in, and the portion sizes were about the same for both. One note is that even when asking for a light drizzle, the sauce was still quite generous. Overall, the place was clean, the food tasted very fresh, and it's a great spot to grab a quick bite. read more

At the time of ordering, my estimate for delivery was 25-30 mins. I received my food 2 hours later. They batched all delivery orders together so that I watched the delivery guy on the tracker go to 4 or 5 other towns. It left the restaurant, and my food arrived over an hour later. The smoothie was completely melted and the salads were gross. There is no phone number to inquire or get help. When I emailed they offered me a $10 credit for a $50 order. We had to order different food. Super disappointed. I tried to post screenshots showing the timing of everything but for some reason my phone isn't uploading it. Order time 2:36pm/delivery 4:25pm. read more

Super friendly staff! Great addition to Livingston! It has a drive thru! Food is great and fresh! It feels very clean and chic inside! Can't wait to go back for more! read more

Ain't your Mama never told you to eat all your vegetables? Well this one's for you Mama!! My opinion on salad has always been "okay I'll eat it as long as it isn't boring the F outta me" Lol. I mean Lettuce and Tomatoes are toppings not a meal people. A really great salad has to have fresh flavorful ingredients, interesting textures, delicious protein portions, and dressing so amazing it demands my attention. And lemme tell you that Just Salad checks all those boxes plus a whole lot more.   Alright already now don't go thinking that Bill's gonna only eat salads from now on or nothing crazy like that, but if he was it's pretty cool to know that this place definitely has his [our] backs.  ;D    Plus they also make delicious looking Wraps, Soups, and Bowls here too so as far as I'm concerned the possibilities are endless. Come And Get Your Salad Munch On!! read more

Hi really love just salad. I had a doctors appointment at 6:30 pm and after mt appointment I took a shower drive down the road and went through the drive thru. I've been inside before and it's decently sized and clean! This was very convenient because it was raining! I got the crispy chicken poblano and it was just what I needed after a long day of work! The staff were friendly but I did ask for bread and they didn't include it. Mistakes happen! I would go back again! read more

Just Salad - Crispy Chicken Poblano - Salad Near Me - Livingston, New Jersey

came here on a sunday evening with my sister was craving a caesar salad wrap and was impressed they have a combo option where you can get a wrap, chips & drink for $14.99 instead of just getting the wrap for almost $13. there was no wait, plenty of parking, staff was very nice and there were plenty of inside & outside seating areas i got the spicy chicken caesar wrap and it hit the spot. very filling they even have a drive thru if you're busy and want to stay in your car my sister got a different wrap (i believe it was seasonal and they no longer sell it) and we both didn't like it ; so i guess not everything is good here which is why it's a 4 not 5 stars! also the reward system is a bit lacking, no immediate rewards for signing up and the chance of you getting a reward is limited if you don't come often (which is understandable but disappointing) read more

Unfortunately terrible wrap (spicy chicken Cesar) and incorrect order. The chicken was ice cold. Like frozen and not fully defrosted cold. So stingy with the meat as well in the wrap and the chicken Cesar salad. Peruvian chicken bowl didn't have the correct subbed protein. It honestly was $63 of salad comparable to Cesar salad in a bag. The absolute stand out was the green sauce that came with the Peruvian bowl. That saved this from being 1 star. Worker was nice so this wasn't a service issue. If you want a chicken Cesar wrap just go further down Eisenhower for the one at Stella's or mama Rao's. Warm, plentiful chicken and great dressing. I think it's like the same pricing too read more

We love Just Salad and are so happy they opened in Livingston! They even have a drive-thru. Their menu is seasonal which is a bit disappointing as I miss the buffalo cauliflower, but I'm happy to say they still have the edamame crunch on the menu. The location has about a dozen tables, and looks new and clean. This is perfect for lunch. Service was good! They have a lot of people working here and they are still getting familiar with the menu. read more

UPDATE - FEB 2026 what is wrong with this place? I've been coming here for about a year and there is absolutely no system in place for the staff to prepare orders in a timely manner. I place order for pickup, I arrive when the app tells me it will be ready, I get here and wait ten minutes and they haven't even started making the salad yet. It's a consistent experience every single time. read more

Drive thru people very rude and never get order right. They rush you and don't listen to what you want.

I am so tired of not getting a receipt and getting the wrong order in the drive through. Got all the way home and have the wrong stuff that they handed me. Of course the top order was right and I just should not have assumed they would get two orders right. Shame on me but I will not go back again. I've had it. Too expensive to be bothered with this service. read more

Just Salad - Chicken salad without chicken but with full price paid - Salad Near Me - Livingston, New Jersey

My husband tried Just Salad in Livingston last night. He had a very bad experience. We are a middle class black family that live in West Orange. He walked in and did not know what he want. The employee stated "do you know what you want". He did not know so he told the person behind him to go in front of him. The owner or the manager of the store greeted that person and the next person and the 3rd person with "Good Evening, how can I help you". My husband after the 3rd person knew what he wanted and placed his order. The owner manager said to my husband " are you ready to irder". My husband placed his order, paid and was given his receipt. He did not receive a thank you just a receipt. Why wasn't he greeted with the respect as the white customers? The same thing happened to me when they first opened. I enjoyed the salad and pumpkin soup but will not patronize this establishment again. #NotAGoodFeeling read more

I'm going to give 5 stars because I want to be encouraging, and the salad is fresh and everyone wants to do a good job. My only two asks: 1) please fill up the salad bowl. Mine was 70 percent full at best. 2) nyc locations allow you to sub out an ingredient. Can this location consider this? Ie - cucumber for broccoli. read more

This place is a bloody nightmare! I work in an office right next door and sometimes order my lunch from there. I usually order online in advance hoping that my order will be ready. I don't like wasting time because I tend to work through lunch. on 1/15/25 I order online, then went to pick it up at the hour indicated. I still waited about 20 min before they started to complete my order. Meanwhile, walk-ins get served and are out the door before mine is complete. they finally say the soup I ordered isnt available and will take another 20 mins. that's 20 minutes on top of the 20 minutes I waited to pick up my order, on top of the 25 minutes from the time I placed the order online. THEY ARE SO DISORGANIZED. I told them I didn't want the soup. They should reimburse me for the soup I didn't get but I'm not holding my breath. I was so disgusted I just took my plate and walked out. This is not the first time I had a bad experience, but it will be the last I will never go there again. Anyone considering this place should think twice. read more

The food is very, very good. Fresh ingredients and tasty. The issue is the service. The staff are not trained well and they're understaffed. They seem to be clueless when working. It's not organized. Even if you order in advance using the app and they give a pick up time, you sometimes have to wait 10 minutes since the one employee making salads just started when you come for pick up. Another staff member is on the phone taking a personal call. It's just not a classy place. read more

Caroline provided excellent service with a polite positive attitude. This is my first time trying this restaurant.
