the salad was good and the greens were fresh and perky which i always appreciate. the turkey sandwich was meh...something i could have made for myself at home. one slice of deli meat, two small slices of bacon, very little avo...expected an uber sandwich for the price. the plug in air freshener was killing us. like sniffing dryer sheets. why a plug in air freshener? the place was clean and the staff accommodating. bathroom needs a better sanitation system. when you wash your hands you have to walk across the bathroom to get to the roll of paper towels sitting on a table. no toilet paper in the dispenser so you have to reach behind you because it's sitting on top of the tank. not sure any of that is to code. it was an ok experience. won't go back though, mostly because of the air freshener plug in and the expensive uninspired sandwich. giving it 4 stars but really want to give it 3, but this is a small business that is no doubt struggling. they should take a lesson from the reviews though. a lot of complaints about the disappointing sandwiches. read more

I've been coming here for years and the salads have always been pretty good. My recent order was a half salad, but this time the portion seems smaller than before. My salad was heavily dressed with the salad dressing and next time I'll def order it on the side. I ordered at the kiosk and it wasn't until afterwards that I realized that the salad I chose was one of their daily specials for a discounted rate. I let the man know when my order was ready that I didn't receive the daily special price which was less than what I paid at the kiosk. I was hoping he would be able to refund me the difference, but instead he leaned over, touched my hand and told me that he would remember me for next time and hook me up. I was a little surprised that was his response, but he quickly moved on to help others. read more

Decided to try salad makers definitely disappointed with the 9$ cup of bland soup and 13$ puny BLT. read more

Salad Makers - I was pretty disappointed with13$ BLT. And a 9$ bland soup. Going to panera next time. - Vegetarian Near Me - Brentwood, California

I visited with a friend, who wanted a salad because she'd missed lunch. The design your own salad appealed to her and it is nice that they offer a half salad option and a full salad option (the half is fairly large). The staff made it to-go as she requested (she knew she'd want to take some of it home). It was a decent salad, although the salad and a small bottle of water came to almost $20, which seemed sort of expensive for a counter restaurant type of place. Unfortunately, a visit to the restroom before leaving sort of spoiled the experience. The restroom had no soap in it--not just the soap was not filled...there was no hand soap or dispenser in the restroom...particularly concerning in a food business! read more

Salad Makers is one of the few dining options in Brentwood that is more on the healthy side. They feature a menu of salads or a build your own option. Any salad can be made in to a wrap and they've got a wide variety of fresh veggies, cheeses, proteins and more. I really enjoy coming here for lunch. Salads come in regular or large. They've also got paninis for those looking for something grilled. It's located in Streets of Brentwood, so there's always plenty of free parking. Staff is friendly and it's order at the counter and. Very casual spot with some outdoor seating along with their tables inside. Great spot for lunch in Brentwood! read more

The gal with dark long dark hair (tattoo on her neck) has her long dangling pony tail in the front. I was just waiting for her hair to get in the food. It would be much better if she tied her hair back in a braid. I don't think I will be going back. And the grilled chicken was slimy. read more

Nice change from the fast food in the area. Was shopping with a friend and saw the Salad Maker sign, thought why not? Happy we did. Shared a Turkey avocado club and had a chicken apple crisp salad, minus walnuts add almonds. Fixings are added in front of you and the staff asked plenty of questions as to specifics on what I wanted. You can go half or large on the salad, the half size was plenty big, especially sharing a sandwich. The ask if you want your dressing mixed in or on the side. If it's mixed in they toss it in a big bowl so it's nice and mixed. The ingredients tasted fresh, sandwich was excellent. Slight toast to the sourdough bread, nice amount of avocado on it. The dining room looked a bit under construction, baseboards removed, a bit of damage to the exisiting facade, but appeared clean. Enjoyed our lunch, happy we stopped. read more

Not sure if they have changed ownership, haven't been here in a few months. Today will be the last time I go. The guy who helped me, barely filled up the box, when I told him what I wanted he used his tongs in a way that he didn't want to grab too much. They used to stuff the boxes where they had trouble closing them. Not today. Almost 19.00 for lettuce, few strands of cucumber, carrots and onion. No thanks. read more

I can't speak too much to the service since we ordered on a kiosk but I can say that the food here is kinda terrible. The salad was good and felt like a generous portion for a half size. But that's where to compliments stop. The turkey looks like cheap discount brand turkey loaf with a rubbery texture, and the bacon is clearly microwave ready. Also, the description of the turkey club is that it comes on sourdough bread but this is a ciabatta role. The sandwich/salad combo is almost $20. I wouldn't spend my money on a sandwich here again. All together, with the tip, this lunch cost just under $45. Does this look like $45 quality food? Not in my opinion. read more

This place is my go-to lunch spot whenever I'm at the Streets of Brentwood. There's a large selection of tasty sandwiches, salads, and even soups. The tuna salad is my favorite... but not gonna lie, I wish they'd bring back the Japanese wasabi salad they had back in the day. *Hint-hint, wink-wink, nudge-nudge* lol The restaurant is always clean and pleasant inside. The man behind the counter (I think he's the owner) is the most pleasant person you'll ever meet - always a kind word for everyone, always a smile on his face. This is one of those places where the food is not just good, but it also feels good to be there because the vibe is so pleasant. read more

Second time here, first time writing a review. They sale sandwiches, Salads & Soups at a pretty reasonable price, the salad sizes are great for the price, you can choose your own or you can order from their menu, everything is fresh, they have a great variety of toppings & the soups are at a great temperature hot but not too hot . I didn't get a sandwich but they looked delicious. Great for a quick lunch!! There's parking on the back. Customer service is great, & consistent . read more

First time there and quite expensive. About $50 for 2 meals that you order from a machine. Staff was nice and handed us our to go order. Got home and opened the bag and couldn't help but laugh! The paninis are basically just flatten bread. Not toasty at all and look nothing like the picture. The salad was good, not great. read more

OK so I do come here and get salads from time to time and the chicken Caesar salad $15 OK that's fine but $11 for this grilled cheese sandwich I thought it was going to be a little fancier than this I won't get the grilled cheese again stick to my salad read more

Wow what a horrible experience, I ordered soup and salad combo and my date ordered a sandwich, utilizing the kiosk to order. My soup came out freezing cold, but the server insisted she warmed it up no big deal I sent it back of course to be reheated. About 10 min later my 1/2 of sandwich finally came out, and what a disappointment. My sandwiched had one piece of thinly sliced deli meat folded in half. The frozen soup may have been worse. The consistency is horrible the taste is underwhelming, and we are still waiting on our order to be completed as other people are being served. We question staff and I guess they forgot to make our other sandwich. So 5 min later Sandwich finally comes and it's the wrong sandwich. Not a good experience at all. But the staff were nice and refunded our money. The place was pretty clean no issues there. read more

Super expensive! Food was good but 25 bucks for 1/2 Caesar salad, and a cup of soup really? I sat outside on the patio very nice ambience . The lady behind the counter brought my food to me. Definitely not paying 25 bucks ever again. I can make that myself. read more

Ive come here twice and the teenage girls lock the door an hour to 2 hours early before closing times and are just standing behind the counter on their phones. Lol, so weird. read more

Went there today and had two sandwiches and two salads. Both were very fresh and staff was good.

Me and my mom love going here! The place is clean and the food is fresh. The salad portion sizes are very generous as well, definitely a good bang for your buck! The service is quick too and Ryan (the owner) always offers a warm smile and a friendly persona. The pesto chicken sandwich is my favorite:) read more

I love the idea of this place. Salad, sandwiches and açaí!? When I went in today there appeared to be 3 younger girls working and there was no one eating inside. 4 of the tables had plates and food on them. The floor also had food on it. All of this would be ok, I'm sure the girls were in the back cleaning or something but then a cockroach walked across the floor in the middle of the dining area. I'm not sure if this is a known regional problem. Either way, management should enforce stronger cleaning practices. One girl could be on reg, one making the salads and the third bussing and washing dishes with gusto. Please call an exterminator pronto. And as a follow up ..when I say 3 times no bacon because I can tell the person talking my order seems to not listen, I mean it. Just got home to enjoy my salad and look....bacon. read more

Salad Makers - My Buffalo Chicken Salad with "no bacon" - Vegetarian Near Me - Brentwood, California

First time at this place with my friend. We wanted something light to help us sustain our energy in the heat. We both got the seasonal summer salad with strawberries, red onion, and feta cheese. I substituted the walnuts for almonds and it was an amazing combo. The girls that made our salads were very accommodating towards my allergies and very pleasant to talk to. The ambiance inside was pleasant and their bathroom was nice and clean. I appreciated their lemon wall art while eating. Would definitely return again for the same salad, if available, and am open to other items on their menu as well. read more

I love the idea of freshly tossed salads. The menu has some prebuilt salads for those who maybe want the classics or you can build your own. They can also make your salad into a wrap. The vibe is a bit dull and something is missing, i cant quite put my finger on it. read more

Hello Marisa and Ryan I wish you had another way to contact you instead of yelp it's so public... I normally don't post here but at your restaurant today I and another lady had a horrible experience with one of your employees. She is a child to me and I would not bash her on here but please contact me so I could let you know because it would be the difference in a revisit or not. But let me say food was great! Here is a email you can contact me at deshotelshannett@gmail.com read more

Customer service was great. The person who took my order was friendly and apologetic about the wait. I didn't mind the wait. I ordered the BLT and broccoli cheddar soup, they were ok but not outstanding and not worth the price. Maybe I should've stuck with ordering a salad? My first time there. Not sure if I would return. read more

I ordered here today i didnt get a both of my salads dressings or chips. Very disappointed because they didnt even answer durring business hours. Very disappointed and the food here was actually kinda gross the " grilled chicken" is something i would only feed to my cat. Thats how dry and gross it is 0/10 would not recommend read more

This review is based on today. I've been back a few times since my last review and experiences were okay. It's been at least a year or two since I've been in. First...the place is really dark now. I could not tell if they were open from the outside but saw the hours so I tried to open the door. No one was waiting in line, I mean NO ONE! I have NEVER been to Salad Makers without a line, ever. That was a red flag for me. The young lady that helped me was nice, so I am not downplaying her or her service. Another thing was, usually there's music playing and 3-4 teens working there. It was complete silence with the young lady upfront by herself and someone from the back came up and went back. Oookkkaayyy.... I ordered my regular order...MYOS with romaine, mushrooms, grilled chicken, bacon bits (though I don't eat pork anymore, got it on the side for someone else), Parmesan cheese, and Caesar dressing. I add an egg and have it mixed. The container...is much smaller than what I am used to. I believe there was a change in law and styrofoam cannot be used anymore. Well this Kraft paper container is like half of the other once but the price is higher. With the other container, they would stack your order up and still be able to get the lid closed. This container is about 3 inches tall with a lid you press down so there is no room for overflow. Got past that and took my order home. When I got home, instantly noticed that it was all soggy. I literally drive at most 10 minutes home and it was already soggy. Still was going to try it so I did. The salad had no flavor which made no sense to me. That's when I realized exactly how runny the dressing was. I think the lettuce was soaked in water, like it was rinsed but not dried properly afterwards. I ate maybe a 1/3 of it at most and the rest is going in the trash along with my $17. Also noticed there was no rewards and I had a free salad last time I came. I guess the new owners aren't honoring it or continuing with the program. All in all, I'm not going back. There is a totally different vibe, the food is not good; I don't see it staying open for much longer like this. Really sucks because it has been a staple in the Streets of Brentwood forever. read more

I love this healthy on the go option!! Not many around here!! The service was great, the outdoor seating was perfect for this beautiful weather and the salad was delicious!! I had the chicken apple crisp and I can see why it is a local favorite..I will definitely be back!! read more

Very disappointed in my pickup order today. My two sandwiches and salad looked nothing like the picture. I spent $40 dollars and the quality was horrible. The BLT was not toasted, dry and had like 2 pieces of bacon. The salad was not pictured and the chicken tasted like a can. I'm sorry for the negative feedback but it's irritating when you spend money it and not good quality. read more

The ambiance is casual, the service is always great. I ordered the greek salad, this time around. I'm a big fan of this place and will always come here for my salads. Tonight I ordered the Greek salad and it was perfectly delicious as always. If you ever are in the area and want a delicious salad, you have to try this place. yum!!! read more

Great service., very healthy .. a little pricey for salad imo if you need quality food in a pinch its the better choice in this area..

First time trying this place after seeing it at the streets for so long. It's basically a fresh salad bar with all your fixings. They even have pasta and pizzas. I ordered a full size apple salad with Italian dressing. I think for the price, they should throw in a piece of bread. Salad was fresh but I didn't like the dressing. read more

This place actually has pretty amazing salads. However, their hours are probably the worst for a restaurant. What kind of a restaurant closes at 6 PM during the dinner rush? I can see closing at seven later dinners maybe even eight but six right smack in the middle of dinner time? I've eaten here several times and I've had to race home to get a salad. If you're running a business and you want to be successful, maybe think about people who get off work at 5 o'clock in Walnut Creek and can't make it to your location by six. When I jokingly mentioned it to the owner one time or whoever was that was managing I don't know which Their attitude was that. It's not their problem. It's mine. They'll have the hours they want you wanna throw away all kinds of business you're right at your business but it's a terrible business model. read more

I love this place! i used to just come for salads, but their menu has definitely expanded. I tried the tuna melt, which was very brave of me because I normally don't venture from what I know and to my surprise, it was honestly one of the best I've ever had!!! The cheese, really set it off and it was super hot and delicious... on sourdough omg just so good!!! read more

HUMONGO salads, accommodating staff, great food! Me and my boyfriend both wanted a Cobb salad, so we decided to share a large instead of ordering two smalls. We ordered extra chicken and the staff were accommodating to our topping adjustments. $18 did seem a little pricy for a salad, but GODDAMN we received a bowl bigger than Cheesecake Factory. We split the salad and still had leftovers! Definitely recommend if you are craving a fresh, crunchy salad! read more

I ordered a Panini sandwich.. I strongly suspect it was microwaved. It was bland and not a bit crispy. Hopefully the salads are better.

I ordered a Cobb salad and it was soggy, tasteless and they didn't put the avocado in as advertised. $18 dollars for a soggy tasteless salad. I waited 20 minutes for my tasteless, soggy salad and then they didn't even bother to call out my name or bring the salad to my table(I ordered for dine in) The people running the place were indifferent and not helpful. This will be my last visit. read more
