Love the fact I can build my own salad! The reviews are alittle strange people are complaining about how their salad was tossed? Or saying they loved it but giving 3 stars? Lol anyways the staff was very helpful, they have more than plenty of toppings, dressing etc! Seating outside, salad itself was tasty and was served quick no complaints here. read more

Definitely the better Salata, if only because it is less crowded. While it is good if you are in the mood for a salad, I'm just not into strangers tossing my salad. I know I can get the dressing on the side and I do, but they still toss it. I like my salad tossed in a particular way and not necessarily the same way as others. The only fix for this was to ask for it to be prepped in a to-go box - or so I thought. Nope, still got to toss the salad - it's like they think tossing the salad makes it more satisfying and for many it does I guess. I guess I just like the smaller bits on top so I can nibble if I choose without digging through these big flaps of lettuce. I guess I wish there was more that could be personalized here than just ingredients. I actually like this place for a healthy meal, but when I think of tossed salad I just get turned off. read more

My go to Salata location in Downtown, even when the line is long it always seems to go faster than some of the other ones around town.

I love this Salata! I used to come here back in 2012 when I worked downtown. Amazingly, several of the same people still work there and that's a sign of a great place. Ana is the best and most professional young lady, but everyone is nice and most helpful. As all the Salata locations, you have amazing choices of veggies, proteins, dressings, additions and soups. You really can't go wrong because everything is fresh and plentiful. Thank you to the management and team at this Salata for being consistently delicious and exceptional. read more

This is the good Salata - like your kids, there is always a good one and a bad one. This is the good one - the one in the Park Shops is the bad one. So let's scold the bad one and put him in the corner, then we will praise this one and buy it a cupcake. Super friendly, chatty, nice, personable employees. They make it such an easy choice to come get lunch here because they never give you attitude. If they did not want to serve you salad as their life-long career objective, then they conceal it rather well. I have had some good conversations and asked for recommendations here and I am always willingly obliged. The food is good. Very good! High quality ingredients, great lettuce, the chicken is always super tasty and no fat sticking off of it, they obey every command about how much of this and how much of that you want (extra jalapenos? Don't mind if I do!) and then they ring you and your Diet Dr. Pepper up at the register in short order, then you are free to take your delicious feast and Diet Dr. Pepper out into the tunnel and eat it at the convenient tables set up next to Salata. I like this place. Good lunch spot! Great idea if you need to do something besides Treebeards because you were running late and Treebeards is already closed. read more

Fast, generous portions, and a wide variety of salad ingredients and toppings! This is my new choice for a salad, and I only wish it was open past the lunch hour. I had put off trying the place because the line is typically wrapped around and out the door into the tunnel. In the future, I'll wait, because that line moves faster than you might think. The ladies behind the counter (and there are a lot of them to handle the crowds) mean business! They get your basic salad size to start, and a mix of whatever lettuce and/or greens you choose. Then you pick your vegetables and cheeses, then fruits, then meats, fish, dressings, toppings, and poof! It's a high pressure whirlwind of salad options that end up mixed together and put into a togo box waiting at the cash register. Go here. Try it. If you like salads for lunch in a togo box, you can't be disappointed! read more

Nice build your own salad with tasty dressing. If you work downtown and frequent the the tunnels, this is the best choice for a quick and healthy lunch. Honestly, it was a standard salad but freshness was great and I enjoyed the variety of options available read more

My friend took me here before a concert at the House of Blues since I had never been here before. I decided to order a wrap since I didn't really think a salad was gonna hold me up for the rest of the night. We were the only ones in the restaurant so we were able to order our food fast. I really liked the wrap with all of the toppings I chose, and finished the whole thing. The ingredients were fresh and very flavorful. I was kind of overwhelmed by all of the topping options, to be honest, since I had never been before. The wrap kept me full all night, and I can't wait to come back to a Salata and try a salad next time! read more

There are multiple locations of Salata downtown but this is the one that I've been to the most because of proximity to my office. Smiley and speedy service. Before I ever ate here I was like "hells no I can make my own salad thank you very much". But this place is better than any lame salad bar; there are many fresh and diverse options to make rainbow salads. There's a huge assortment of vegetables, beans/legumes, nuts, fruit, and crunchy things, e.g. toasted pita strips and croutons. Their dressings are very tasty too. For all downtown locations, I give it 4 stars because within the context of salad quality and downtown lunch experiences, it's pretty good but pricey. There is chicken and salmon but I have never ordered my salads with meat or the soups. They just don't look worth it. The tomato soup is a mysterious off-putting pink color which doesn't look fresh or healthy and I can imagine the tortilla soup to be very salty. The free bread that comes with the salad isn't worth eating. It's limp and the spreads are really greasy. The only seating area is counterspace. read more

14 for salad and drink is unreasonable when you go through line and they give you as little as their hands can grab with vegetables. You are are better off going around corner to Arabella for better quality and value. I understand we are downtown, but what a rip off. read more

Not at all satisfying. I scarfed down the wrap in just a few bites. A great variety and fresh ingredients, but way too overpriced for a salad ($8, plus extra for meat). I probably would have asked for a little bit of everything- fruits, nuts, veggies, but the line is so long that you feel really rushed. And I don't like how it's not clear what comes with your meal... example, my wrap came with chips, but I didn't know, so I didn't get it. read more

The ingredients are fresh with many different options, so you never get bored. They do not put a practical amount of any topping on, if you ask for eggs you get about 2 tablespoons of chopped egg, which is fine because by the end you've added 20 other items to your salad so you couldn't even tell if you had egg to begin with...so why get egg at all, right? The dressings are tasty but they only offer two choices of fat-free or reduced calorie which are sun-dried tomato and mango. The mango is very bland with little to no flavor and the sun-dried tomato I give a C+. At the end of the day it is just salad, over priced salad. $8 for veggies only, $10 with any type of protein. If you want extra toppings you can always ask, they give it to, maybe not with a smile on their face...but then again, I've never really seen any of them smile. read more

I realize the employees want to go home BUT if you're open until 2:30pm don't close your doors at 2:20pm AND refuse to serve me even a cup of overpriced soup. read more

I love salads. This place near 919 milam is very crowded at peak times. Also they give as little as they can using their hands. But the soup and salads are great here! read more

Good place to eat in the tunnels. Much healthier than other places. You have control over what you eat here - they have plenty of options with all the calories plainly listed, and then you go down an assembly line choosing what you want in your salad. Simple stuff. I only have 2 complaints - they're not cheap, and they're pretty stingy with their toppings. Like... 5 or 6 small pieces of egg (like.. 1/4th of an egg, seriously) for a full sized salad? Cmon man. Otherwise, good place in the tunnel. read more

If you don't like your salad, it's pretty much your fault. Reeling from a meat heavy dinner at Capital Grille, today HAD to be a veggie day. Salata was perfect. Tons of salad options made fresh before your eyes. My major critique is that it felt rushed. I didn't really have a lot of time to peruse the many offerings and that made sad. I was barked at (what else, what else, is that it, is that it- it was practically interchangeable) the entire time. But the salad was good- a bit expensive though (8 dollars and 2 or 3 for some sort of animal protein) . read more

I've been to different Salatas and always try to make a Greek salad. I always tell them I just want a few ingredients but I want a good amount of each one. At this location, after filling up my large bowl with romaine, I asked for tomato. I got three small chunks for my large salad. I asked for more, I got two more small chunks. I asked for more, got one small chunk. Same thing with cucumber, onion, pepper, and olives. After feeling embarrassed and uncomfortable I was left with a big bowl of romaine for $9. I'm going to the other locations from now on. Or better yet, Leaf & Grain or one of the other salad places in the area. read more

This is the more generous location of Salata in downtown tunnels. I go on Fridays due to a $1 promo with my company. These ladies at this location will fill you salad box up and defnitely hook you up with lots of toppings and meat! Last time I went, I got alot of salad fixings and got the herb shrimp. Man, that lady gave me like 3 scoops of shrimp so every bite had shrimp and salad. Thank you generous Salata ladies! I love that pesto bread that they offer to accompany your salad. Mmmm... The service here is sensational and moves fast. You know, the more i thnk of it, perhaps going on Fridays is a good Salata hook up day cause they have to get rid of the stuff since they are not open on the weekends. Maybe that is why the scoops of meat and stuff is generous? However, i do hear from my coworkers that go on other days that this is the best Salata for your buck. Yes, you will end up paying $10 to $11 for a salad, but it is worth it. You will be full, trust me. I am very frugal with lunches and often bring mine but once and awhile splurge at Salata is what I look foward to. read more

Ok, I really like this place. Here are some know-how's now that I've been enough times to actually write something helpful. Like Alonti, if you've ever been, knowing where to line up and find certain things is challenging if you're new and a horde of hungry patrons in suits who hardly see daylight and probably have less time for lunch than you just popped up a nanosecond behind you. If they don't push you towards the beginning of the line, then you want to head far left from the entrance. Start with salad choice including, regular lettuce, spring mix or spinach and tell them whether you want a wrap or salad. (I will not list every single menu item they offer. That is what their website is for and I recommend a mock online order for first timers so you can get an idea of what they have.) Next, choose from a plethora of fresh and healthy fillers like cauliflower, carrots, mushrooms, black beans, pumpkin seeds, grapes, strawberries, feta, cheddar cheese, chicken, shrimp and insert 30 more delectable ingredients good for the heart and colon. Meat will up your lunch a couple more dollars, so instead of $8-ish, you're looking at $11-ish. Next is dressing like ranch or balsamic vinaigrette. I always ask for the dressing on the side just in case I can't eat everything. I don't like soggy foods. Salads come with a piece of bread. If you ordered a wrap, tell them what kind of tortilla you want. If you're too afraid to ask what they have because you've already spent so much time picking out your toppings and the mass behind you has begun nipping at your ankles, pick wheat. Can't go wrong with simple. Before the tortilla comes out of the warmer oven, or while your salad is being tossed, ask for croutons or bacon if you desire. For some reason, these are at the end of the line. With a wrap they ask if you want chips. This is not a trick to get you to spend more money, the chips are included in the price of the wrap. The bad news is your only choices are plain pita or baked tortilla. I have not had the tortilla chips, but the pita is a bit bland for my taste. Dressing on the side, you have come in handy a second time. Finally, it's time to pay. So, go do that. If you feel you need a bag to carry your food in and to show off where you went for lunch, then you can help yourself at the counter opposite the cash register. You'll find napkins and other items there as well. Bon appetit! read more

Salata - Darn that ugly carrot chip! Wrap with pita chips and balsamic dressing. - Salad Near Me - Houston, Texas

Wraps are way smaller than at the other locations, so go with the salad for a dollar more. Regardless, it's still salata so it's delicious and you have so much to choose from. The tomato soup is amazing and your meal comes with pita chips! Super long line but that is the same at any location. Way healthier than most other food options in the tunnels. read more

Salata - Wrap with salmon. - Salad Near Me - Houston, Texas

I've heard a lot of really great things about Salata, and frankly I don't get it. Sure it's a nice healthy salad bar, but that's all it is, so what's the big deal? The chicken was just average, and I went with arguably their healthiest dressing, Fat Free Mango, the dressing didn't add much of any flavor to speak of, I probably shouldn't be surprised by this. Maybe if you are a vegetarian, or a health nut with loads of disposable income (a real health nut might look at their nutritional values and think twice) this might be a place for you, but if you're like me and are not a connoisseur of salad, you'd probably be better off going somewhere like Jason's Deli. read more

We stopped by for a quick salad lunch on a Monday. The staff were all friendly and helpful. We both ordered small salads. They had a nice variety of greens and fresh ingredients. You have you choice of any of nine or more ingredients and then about six kinds of dressings and four choices of meats (extra charge). The small salads were plenty for each of us. read more

I work downtown and order here frequently but ordering online is a waste of time. Literally about 9/10 times they mess up my order. Forget something, or give me the wrong something. So instead of saving time and NOT standing in the world's busiest lunch line DURING my lunch hour, I have to waste time walking all the way back (either during or after I get back to my desk) & have them correct it. For about $10 a meal, you'd think they could follow simple instructions. It's a nuisance and my biggest pet peeve. Today I have to go back because they gave me peas instead of pea sprouts on my salad. Fun stuff. If I didn't have issues this often I wouldn't complain. It's a decent location & staff is nice but that's about it. read more

I frequent this location often hoping for a different result each time. The manager at this location is extremely unfriendly and will chastise you if you have 2 orders. She was tossing the salads and walked off and left my salad saying you have two orders you can wait. Mind you, the staff will make multiple orders at once all while having you wait for them to take more orders before completing your order. I was then told that I should place my orders on line. You should never make your customers feel bad for coming in at least twice a week because we have 2 orders. There are a few other locations downtown that I could choose to spend my money. read more

Not very good experience. Salad was not tossed, bread was cold. The line was not even long, only 5 people in the line in total .

Friendly, fast (less than 5 minutes unless it's the peak of the lunch rush around noon) service, and you get as many toppings as you want (meat is extra), unlike most salad places. A bit pricey for what you're getting, though. Limited seating inside and in the nearby atrium. read more

Today i was introduced to the Salata experience & walked out feeling humiliated. When I walked in there was no line however the workers were more focused on getting the online orders together rather then the customers. After about 5 minutes i was asked what I wanted, me being a first time customer i was unaware so i just opted to get a small salad and a wrap & to make it easy the ingredients will be the same with exception of minor things. A line began to form and in a instance the customer service left(it never was there to be honest). I was rushed to make a decision told order that over in the next station, the way my order was to go was not communicated to the next associate which resulted in one of my orders being messed up. Now the line is longer, the employee kept asking me if she should fix the mistake, which i didnt want her to do because you could tell the workers were more focused on getting the line out verses the customer experience. I walked out of the establishment just embarrassed as new customers who was not accustomed to the Salata experience. I would never recommend eating at this particular Salata customer service just sucked! Definitely not worth it & portions were horrible as well (associate had to ask the lady to put more in my food i didnt even notice). read more

STAY AWAY!!! Food is terrible and not fresh. The servers are so rude and do not care about making the salad/wrap your way. They just want to move the line. I WILL NEVER RETURN TO ANY SALATA NOW. I wish I could give them 0 stars for terrible service and horrible quality. read more

I eat at this location three times a week and for the last 3-4 weeks I have noticed a trend in the decreased portion sizes received. This place use to give heaping portions and has now begun to skimp! Even the tomato basil soup seems a little watered down. The quality is still the same fresh goodness. Just expect smaller portions. read more
