Everything is so fresh! I love being able to build my own salad, and there are so many options. My favorite toppings to lettuce or arugula or spinach are the various cheeses, meats (pork, ham or chicken), Endamame, and fruit (blueberries, pineapple, strawberries and grapes). There is SO much more... The employees are helpful and friendly. The restaurant is always clean and bright. This is our go to place for a healthy meal that tastes great for a reasonable price! read more

It was an excellent surprise to stop in and try a healthy lunch at this spot off Hillsborough Avenue. The salad station was filled with a plethora of everything you could think of in terms of salad components and additions. It is a serve yourself line where the staff is available for assistance. My choices were all fresh and the tofu was prepared fantastically and cut into cubes for consumption. There is staff there to help guide you along and they have the option to chop your selections at the end of the line. The absolute best part of it all is that they require you to wear gloves that are easy to slip into and encourage sanitation for everyone so you can feel comfortable and safe. I was super impressed and will be back! read more

Great place to go for salad, of course, but they also offer soups, rice bowls and loaded potatoes. Over 100 salad toppings to choose from. Fresh, well stocked and neatly organized. This isn't one of those sloppy salad bars. They charge by the pound and I didn't realize I amassed about three pounds of....everything. Wide variety of dressings and add ons. If I hadn't harvested the whole farm I might have had room to try the soups. Next time. read more

I've loved basically across the street from the salad station for 4 years and I've always thought about going in, it wasn't until the pole restaurant next door was closed and I was starving that I finally opened the door! I am so glad I did! Great BIG salad bar with all the things you think of when you think salad bar + they have a baked potato bar and several soups. I wish the soups and baked potato bar were advertised or in front, I would have gotten a smaller salad and tried something more. Service was fine...it's all self serve and you have to wear these OS gloves which is weird, but I guess I get it. The cashier was a little snippy when I failed to put the on the side salad dressing on the scale - we never weigh it at Whole Foods. Plenty of seating and parking and I'll likely be back to try some soup and baked potato bar- super convenient to my house. read more

Salad Station - Giant salad bar - Salad Near Me - Tampa, Florida

When we entered, the employee behind the counter briefly explained the options and that we needed to wear gloves. That was helpful, but I didn't realize there were salad cards (with recipes already created) or that you could chop or wrap your salad until I already checked out- no one was behind us in line. There were plenty of salad topping options. I noticed my strawberries weren't cold and they were kinda mushy so I took them off. Several soups and a small potato building area- wouldn't call it a bar. They were out of several drinks in the soda machine and their lemonade canister. I made a very small salad because I knew I was going to have potato soup. My husband had a small soup and a larger salad and our bill was over $40. And they asked for tip. We served ourselves full buffet style and cleaned our own table. Tip?? Plus it was so loud in there and it wasn't crowded. Metal chairs on concrete floor and loud music. Besides me and my husband and the employees, there were 4 others eating. Also there was a patio but all the tables and chairs were chained. read more

Places like this need to be more common! Unfortunately this one isn't close to us but it happened to be on our way when going out in the Tampa area so we got to stop in and try it. It's essentially a giant salad bar where you design a salad and pay by the pound for what you get. Once you choose all your toppings, they'll chop it up if you want or put it in a wrap. I chose to get mine chopped! With the salad, a cup of fresh fruit (also on the salad bar), a fountain drink and tip my order came out to around $18 which personally I think is really reasonable for a high quality healthy ish lunch. They also have soups and baked potatoes if that's more your style. Definitely will be coming back & bringing more family to try this location in the future! read more

Salad Station - Salad Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I discovered Salad Station on a road trip through Louisiana and absolutely loved it! When I found out there was a location in Florida (Tampa), even though it's an hour away from me I make the trip because it is that good! There are lots of fresh produce options AND proteins! It is the best salad bar I have ever been to!! Check it out! read more

HUGE SELECTION of items to choose from!!! And Love the fact they enforce use of their disposable gloves by customers, and use biodegradable bowls for salads. If you leave hungry it's your own fault-lol!!! read more

I have finally found the closest thing to sweet tomatoes! All the ingredients are fresh and colorful. Although the concept is similar, it is not an all you can eat buffet. Prices are by the pound, 11.99 per lb and it is self serve. There are plenty of healthy options to choose from, almost overwhelming if you are trying to keep it under a pound lol. Very cool concept for a quick and healthy bite. Service is prompt and friendly, I never felt rushed with the questions. Only reason for the 4 stars is the soup station was a bit deceiving . I was thinking it's like Publix small or large size with a set price . Salad station has pricing per lb but didn't specify the items towards the back ...soups, sweet potato, etc. so I grabbed a small cup and ofcourse filled to the top. My total came out to $22. You don't know what you are going to be charged for until checkout and it's a bit difficult to guesstimate? Even so I will still be back for a healthy lunch/dinner option plus it's makes eating salads more interesting. Side note , if you download the app, there is a soup and salad special for only 8.99! I'm definitely going to do that next time that's more than half off. read more

The food is fresh and full of flavor. You can build your own salad. They weight it by the pound. It can be costly. I like the potato bar. You can get a potato and go fill it with the same items as the salad bar. The staff were so nice. They helped explained the whole process. read more

Excellent options on the generous salad bar. The food was all high quality and absolutely delishious. The service was great from the moment we walked in the door. We were greeted with a friend smile, a willingness to help and explain the options on the salad bar as well as the hot bar in the back which included a variety of soups and a baked potato bar. We found the restaurant clean and tidy. We will definitely go back. read more

The first thing I noticed was that there are gloves for patrons to wear when creating theirs salads. I think that is great and keeps the restaurant clean. Since this is a make your own salad place, I think everyone's tastes will be subjective. But I thought the veggies, lettuce and meat were good! Very fresh and easy to assemble. The staff was friendly and they were able to answer my questions. read more

I love salad. I could eat soup and salad for lunch every day and be happy...or even just a salad. When this place opened I was ecstatic to get my coupon in the mail! I loved all the choices on the menu and the hot bar items are actually very good too. The sweet potatoes are huge and baked to perfection! Why then do I not give this a 5-star? Because I hate being charged for the weight of food. Yes I hate the yogurt shops that do this too. A salad should never cost 17 or even $13...but to get a good lunch or dinner portion you're going to pay that amount or more...unless you are careful and have a coupon! For that amount I could get something with meat in it and a drink at another restaurant. So without a coupon I'm just not going in. read more

Very clean. Many salad topping options. Love the soup selections and baked potato options as well. Staff always are friendly.

Great place!! I missed it from Miami. Amazing salad selection, service & ambiance. Moves fast so affordable too.

I Love The Salad Station. Some of my favorite things about THE Salad Station is: It is ALWAYS spotless! The food bar is ALWAYS fresh. The soups are ALWAYS hot! The owner and her staff welcomes everyone who walks through the front door!! It easily is my favorite restaurant in Pinellas/Hillsborough County! It is number 1 on my favorite restaurants! read more

Weird disclaimer: I hate salad. I really hate it. Why? Because it's something that you're mandated to eat whenever you try to eat healthy. It's boring with limited options and a lot of times you get more lettuce than anything with small, sad bits of protein, and maybe a tomato or two if you're lucky. So, why, would you ask, would I ever darken the doors to a place with Salad as part of its name???? Variety. Fresh ingredients. I looked at the photos on yelp and saw that this was no run of the mill salad bar with limited options with the results tasting almost the same no matter what you do. They had a large selection of bases, meats, extras, and oh my goodness, some excellent soup which I will get on to more about. My usual is turkey, bacon, avocado, and ranch with eggs where I throw in some extra veggies to at least add some color and nutrient value. I also like to go for seafood salad (with imitation crab) avocado, and ranch over some mixed greens. Their dressings are housemade, or at least taste it, and you can put as much as you want, or as little to only lightly coat the salad. You have the option to have your salad mixed and chopped for you. I do both, and I happily let them do it. That's one of my own personal challenges of salad is getting the dressing mixed evenly and cutting it into smaller bites so I don't give myself a dressing facial by accident. Their soups are some of the best I've had and I guess they change seasonally. My fave is the crawfish soup and the potato soup. Both creamy with a lot of flavor and spice! This will become a regular spot for me for sure! read more

I miss having a really good salad. One that I can make to my own tastes. Before the pandemic, there was one everyone could count on, but alas they're gone, and their format is old news. This eatery provides fresh food: veggies, fruits, grains meats and soups for you to make an amazing custom salad. You pay by the pound, so the price point is literally what you make it. Making a salad weigh less than a pound is a challenge! Who knew! But I do love to load up on the greens and the rice, before topping it with the garlic chicken and a few other choice toppings. They have an astounding number of dressing choices, with their ranch being my choice. A lot of crunchy salad toppers too including fried onions, pecans and raisins. You really can make your salad a mountain. There are several soup options and today I saw chicken wings and baked potatoes available to bulk up the meals. The service is quick, friendly and helpful This is quickly becoming our favorite new dinner place. read more

First off, the best salad bar I have EVER been to! The staff is incredibly welcoming & the food is just as inviting. It is weighed by the pound and is very reasonable. The food selection is fresh and there's a little something for everyone. Whether you're breaking the ice on a first date or having a luncheon, this is the perfect atmosphere. The pics below are my salad before & after the staff mixed the salad for me. They will even chop it for you, but I decided not to do that. If you go like this post ;) read more

I stop at the salad station twice a week.Restaurant is clean the staff is very pleasant and the food is always fresh.

Why 4 stars, because they are legit that good. I will have to go back tomorrow just to get pics, oh and taste more food. This was my first time here's, so let's start at the beginning. Everyone making a salad has to wear plastic gloves, LOVE THIS!! The restaurant is clean and the staff is so so friendly. There are more than 5 different verbs to pick from so I went with romaine, spring mix and spinach. You can select from grape tomatoes or the tomatoes that are already chopped, I chose the latter, why work for it?!! There are various meats you can select from, but I went with the baked chicken from the hot table. And baby, let me tell you, it was hot, juicy and PERFECTLY seasoned!! Ugh, it was so delicious. There are also chicken tenders, soup and some of the prettiest baked potatoes on the hot table, that I will definitely be going back to try tomorrow, yes tomorrow!! Once you create your salad, ask one of the staff members to chop your salad, it was the best decision. My salad was so yummy and all mixed perfectly, that it doesn't require as much salad dressing - ugh, so good!! This place will be seeing a lot of me, like a lot. The selections of salads and toppings is great and the rest of the food options is good as well. I do wish the drink sizes were a bit larger. I guess if you eat there you can do refills, but I got my food to go and would have liked a larger drink size. Not even close to a deal breaker on my return, just a request. I will get pictures tomorrow and update my post with them, but I was very very pleased! read more

Healthy options that fill you up. I'm a huge salad fan. I don't cook much at home and when I do it rarely includes vegetables. Therefore, when I go out I always try to get my greens in. This restaurant is a very reasonable way to do so. They subtract the weight of the bowl so you don't have to worry about that. The salad that I built was less than 1 lb and the soup was less than .5 lb! This made my meal come out to about $10, which is a great price point for lunch. I love how they have little cups to try the dressing and the soups. If they didn't have those, I probably wouldn't have gotten a soup, but after trying the loaded baked potato I had to get a bowl. They also have the ingredients for each soup listed next to them. That's how I knew the loaded baked potato soup has heavy cream. Hey, I needed to balance the healthiness of the salad. Randomly, they don't have avocados or candied nuts, but pretty much anything else I would ever put on a salad was there. I wasn't a huge fan of the dressings, I tried a lot of them, so I went with olive oil. In the end I was happy with my salad. I'm just glad there is a quick, healthy option close to home. This will definitely save my waistline. read more

I have only ordered through Uber Eats. My new go to salad and wrap place, as the name applies. Lol. I do order once a week. Only a few times I had to throw away an entire sandwich, as the dressing got the wrap all soggy and disgusting and also had to throw away the hummus after the small 4 triangles of pita were gone. I also don't like that you only get a small cup of dressing for the entire salad and I have to pay more for more dressing just to have enough for a large salad. Also, on Uber Eats you can't customize your order even after I wrote "no Tomato" so I end up picking them out and throwing them away. They need to fix that. It is nice that they actually wrote "thank you :)" on my bag along with my name. It's the small things that count. I'll continue to order and try new salads or wraps till I get sick of it. read more

I was very pleasantly surprised by the quantity and quality of the selection here. The salad bar is an L shape and runs the entire length of the building. They have a variety of lettuce options and any kind of topping you could want (vegetables, fruit, meats, cheeses) and a large selection of dressings as well. All the ingredients seemed fresh, well separated, and each customer is currently required to wear gloves when assembling their bowl. The only reason this place gets 4 instead of 5 stars is cost. It's charged per pound. Even with being reasonably cautious in my selections I still managed to rack up a $14 salad. I could make the same thing myself for about $6/salad at home, but that would require buying and chopping a ton of veggies that would probably go bad before I had a chance to eat them all. If you're looking for a fresh and healthy meal (and you don't want to chop a ton of veggies and then feel like you have to eat salad every day for the next week) this is an excellent option! read more

Overpriced, not fresh, and rude employees. We thought this place was very cute and a cool idea. We came one day during the day and everything was great. We went again shortly after in the evening and it was terrible. The food wasn't fresh and the employees were very rude. It was like they were mad that we came an hour before closing. Also the salad is extremely overpriced. We each paid $23 for a salad!! It's ridiculous. read more
