Located in a cute alleyway off Main Street. It's almost completely self serve, just a small ordering window. The seating area is located just outside the window. The food was fresh, pricey but still good. 3 of us had salad and one panini. The salads all seemed very fresh. The small pretzel they give you with the salads are excellent. If your looking for something fresh and healthy this place is it. Give it a try. read more

We ordered lunch for the bridal party as we were getting ready for my wedding. The food was delicious, but light enough that we didn't feel like our dresses wouldn't fit. The portions were HUGE and I was able to leave more than half of my Caesar salad for my groom to finish after I left for the venue. read more

The reviews of this eatery are right in the money. It is really fresh, quality "fast food." We we're camping while in Charlevoix and decided we didn't want to clean up or deal with long waits in sit down restaurants, so we decided to go fast. This cafe is a wonderful asset to the community of "touristy food." The staff is friendly and efficient; our order was nicely packaged and ready for us within 10-minutes (at 3:00 pm.). Tables were available and the weather was delightful, making for a lovely experience. The most flavorful dish was the soup of the day: chicken tortilla. It was filled with fresh veggies, tender chicken and savory species that have it a nice and unique kick. My only suggestion is to package the corn strips separately so they do not get soggy. We then enjoyed our Bridge paninis which were hot, crispy and had lots of healthy ingredients tucked inside: turkey, avocado, melted cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. My husband and I agreed that it was good, but lacked a touch of flavor that might have made it great. Similarly, our salad was fresh and full of great ingredients. The balsamic vinegarete was made in house, a plus. When combined, it was good yet was missing some flavor that might have made it great. Food in Charlevoix is pricy, as expected, and the $52 we paid seemed acceptable (including a 10% tip; the server asked if we would like to add a tip, a gesture I would prefer restaurants skip, allowing customers to make that choice on their own ...... it puts customers on the spot. Plus, it's a take-out establishment where tips might not be expected, right?). The Salad Fork is a great option for a healthy, quick, tasty and filling meal. read more

Patronize twice. Salads are good but strangely the mushrooms salads are different both times we bought, and there are no mushrooms for both orders. Dunno why. But salad quality is good. Love the Asian sesame dressing (don't quote me I'm guessing that's the name). read more

The Salad Fork - Acai bowl - Salad Near Me - Charlevoix, Michigan

Had the Regular Acai Bowl and went back the next day to have it again- soooo good! Fresh blueberries, strawberries, banana, granola and coconut flakes over acai (that's been blended with bananas and strawberries) and raw flaxseeds in the bottom of the bowl. Love it! This is a small, fast casual place with just a few counter stools inside and a few tables outside. Is a great place to eat outside on a nice day or get takeout. It is bit overpriced IMHO but at least everything is fresh and you can customize your salad or acai bowl. read more

Meh. I called and asked for 1/2 tomato bisque soup and a half an Antrim panini, add onion. The girl on the phone wasn't the friendliest. My friend had the Drawbridge salad. It was $26 when I arrived. They gave me a whole sandwich and they didn't add onion. The sandwich inside was mushy and had little flavor. The crust on the panini was very hard. But, the tomato bisque was delicious, although cold. My friend said she was disappointed by the salad and wished it had chicken and croutons. She did say the flavor of the dressing was great. read more

Delicious, quick lunch at the Salad Fork! Ordered online and picked up 15 minutes, later. I inhaled a 1/2 of the Drawbridge salad with chicken and chickpeas, added. All of the veggies were cold, crisp and incredibly fresh. Perfect for a warm Summer day. The chicken was flavorful, perfectly cooked and cold, as well. Greek dressing is homemade and highlighted all of the salad's ingredients. The 1/2 salad comes in a small box, but do not be fooled, it was a very filling portion. I appreciated the darling little pretzel knots they served with the salad, which soaked up the remains of my salad dressing. Yum! Can't wait to return with my family and try many of the other menu items. Thanks Salad Fork! read more

This is a unique little spot in Charlevoix, MI. Order from a half door in an alley, then wait for your food. There are several tables with chairs to sit at while you wait and then eat. The food was good but the wait was brutal. A busy time including a food delivery truck trying to bring supplies in the same door at which orders are placed and handed out created a long delay for orders. But when the food arrived, we were not disappointed. Very good soup, Panini's and salads. I got the large Drawbridge salad which might have been a little light on the toppings (to my liking, I like lots of veggies, etc) but was truly very good with a mild Greek dressing. Hint: stay close to the ordering door to hear your name called. They must not say it very loud because we had to check on our order and it was sitting there ready. read more

amazing salads and sandwiches for a good fair price! One of our truly favorite places. They are consistent. Figured out that ordering on line and picking up at store front works best. Love to get the lunch and eat in the park and looking over the boats and water. What a fabulous combination! Can't wait to be back in 2023 read more

This spot hits the spot! We stopped by for a little breakfast and it was great. Although they did not have any coffee, we were able to get a great grab and go açaí bowl. We added honey and peanut butter and it hit the spot. Found off the Main Street, wander down a beautiful little alley way to find your perfect spot. The staff was friendly and the service was great. We got ours togo but ended up staying to enjoy the beautiful patio setting! read more

Walk up window on an alley; paper containers, plastic ware and they solicit tips too.....for what? No ambiance, modest portions and market prices. Service is order taking and calling your name. No facilities. This is not a restaurant. read more

Wonderful little shop. One of the only places in Charlevoix to get something to eat that is healthy, fresh and delicious. There are not a lot of fast, healthy options in Charlevoix, so we are so lucky to have them! read more

High Quality food. Everything is fresh. Great web ordering system for carry out and very careful as far as Covid protocols.

Healthy and fresh food! Such an asset to downtown Charlevoix. Also, great setup to keep people safe during COVID.

We ordered two half salads - the Draw Bridge and the Venetian Queen. We ordered online and went and sat by the marina. The salads were the perfect size and super fresh. They could not have been any better! I will definitely stop again the next time I'm in the area. read more

A local favorite run by the hardest working woman I know. Karey not only makes the healthiest food in town, she also supports our local community in a myriad of ways and employs dozens of local students. Healthy options for a busy summer here in Charlevoix. We eat there almost everyday! Cannot say enough about how hardworking and loving Karey is. read more

My husband and I stopped at the Salad Fork for lunch today and we were both impressed by our salad selection. He had the Greek salad and I had the Mushroom House Salad. They both were fresh and flavorful and very filling. The beverage selection was great, I had my favorite Ginger Kombucha drink. The staff was very friendly! We enjoyed eating outside in the alley on such a nice day. We will be back! read more

The Salad Fork - Mushroom House Salad - Salad Near Me - Charlevoix, Michigan

Brand new salad and soup place in Van Pelt Alley off Bridge Street. Pros: the produce is super fresh and delish. Cons: prices are high for what you get: $12 for a salad with a minimal amount of protein. I got a Venetian Salad because it had chicken. The chicken was disappointing; chopped into tiny pieces, almost like they were scraps. Hubby got a Greek salad, which he said was very good (although they don't offer traditional Greek dressing). There's a small counter inside, but it's really a takeout place. They've got an attractive bank of tables in the alley for outdoor seating if the weather's nice. 2-1/2 stars. They would rate higher if they got better chicken and revisited their pricing. read more

Way to over priced for the reasonably small servings you get, The food was really just the same you could get from a buffet or some other place. On another note, their homemade dressing was very good. read more

Everything was extremely fresh and made to order, nice selection, and especially loved the healthy options- there was something for everyone here. We got a large salad, a sandwich, and a breakfast item- all were prepared in a reasonable amount of time and all were flavorful and satisfying. Service was very friendly and helpful, prices were fair. A favorite in Charlevoix- definitely recommend! read more

I was very patient and polite and yet the staff was very rude. my meal took nearly 25 minutes even though I only ordered avocado toast and soup. then when I finally got my meal, part of it was missing and they said "we didn't give it to you because you were in a rush." Teedible. Will not be back. Customers don't deserve to be treated like we are an inconvenience. read more

Found at the last minute- loved our Açaí bowls. Grabbed them right before closing. Love the name and the location is easy to get to and quaint. read more

Delicious fresh food, I could eat it every day but sadly I don't live nearby. Will definitely be back next time I'm in town.

This place is AWESOME!! I had the best panini and the salad options were amazing! I will send all my friends here! The Salad Fork is the best spot in Charlevoix! Thank you to all the staff...always smiling! read more

I was excited to hear they had Açaí Bowls. I usually love it plane then like to add my own toppings. I tried it plane and it tasted like mushed you Bananas. It's obvious that they try to offset the cost of the Açaí by adding bananas then charge $10 for a .25 cent banana mushed up with very little açaí. No thanks. read more

Although the salads are a little expensive they are delicious. I ordered a couple pretzel bites and ended up with a bag full. I think it was because it was near the end of the day and they didn't want them to go to waste. They were really good as well. I've ordered online both times I had food from here and the orders were accurate both times. read more

What a neat place and fresh idea! We really enjoyed our salads and the cool options for drinks that you don't find in other restaurants! Can't wait to have a delivery down to the marina next time we are on the boat listening to the concerts in the park. Your employees were so friendly and we really liked the pretzel roll that came with our salad. read more

Love love this place. Fantastic salads and other great choices. Very friendly staff and their online ordering/pickup is so easy and efficient. One of the best restaurants in Charlevoix! read more

Extremely overpriced for the Small serving of salad that you get. I don't mind spending 14. for a salad but this was embarrassing. I was hungry and so I ate it and it was tasty buy seriously do they think people are stupid. They got me once but I won't EVER be back! read more

Awesome little salad place! Fresh and flavorful, with all homemade dressings. No pre-packaged stuff here. The owner is so nice.

What a darling salad shop! Great for the traveler trying to eat fresh and light. Employees were lovely. Great experience. I would highly recommend. read more

We all enjoyed the yummy food and outside tables! The food was tasty and healthy. Would definitely recommend!

Unforgettable. Small portion for the $$. We went there and the cashier made us take a premade salad in the frig. If there were 20 lettuce leaves there were a lot. Go get a salad at the Mexican restaurant 20 feet away. read more

Ok 24 bucks two half salads, toast and iced tea. That's fine, but if I didn't buy a bottle of water, I could not get a cup of water. Live here, eat out often, never coming back! read more

Overpriced. Agree with others that the salads are not worth the price. We ordered two salads and had two ice teas from the cooler and I was shocked at our bill. Very average size salads. Not many proteins to add. The lettuce was not cut up into reasonable bites. My "greek salad" that has a special name had lots of peppers instead of tomatoes. I probably should have made a "custom salad", but the salad starts at $10 and every item you add is 0.75. It adds up quickly. The worst part is that they serve your salad in a box and give you pre-wrapped silverware that was so flimsy you couldn't hardly use it. The napkin in the package was like a small dry wipe rather than a napkin. If your name is "Salad Fork" and you charge double high rates, at least give us something decent to fork the salad. read more
