I finally had time to sit down and do this review I've ordered from them a couple of times after my daughters told me about the place - and let me tell you... The Toss Up! They always Boss Up! Let's start with the packaging - because presentation begins before the first bite. It's like trying to get into Fort Knox You literally have to cut your way in, and I LOVE that. It guarantees your food is sealed, fresh, and not tampered with. Now let's talk about the food... whew! Whether it's their fresh, delicious salads or these humongous, fully loaded potatoes, the quality is always on point. Everything is flavorful, well-seasoned, and made with care. And that chili?! I don't know if it's homemade, but it definitely tastes like it. And if it's not - keep doctoring it up, because it is DELICIOUS! Rich, hearty, and full of flavor. Thank you, The Toss Up! Because like JJ would say... well, if you know, you know; DY-NO-MITE! read more

For a $10 smoothie (LG) $7 (reg) with limited smoothie options I was expecting something super yummy. My group and I were in the area and saw smoothies advertised outside, we swung by and thought our drinks were a little too sweet and not as fresh/tropical as we expected (I know, it's more of a food spot nor a tropical food spot) but a girl can dream! My friends green drink was okay, she got the regular size and ended up throwing away the last of it. lots of seating and no wait. Great customer service from the gentleman in the front & menu options! I'd come back to try the food options but skip the smoothie. read more

I've been here a few times. I like to support smaller businesses anytime I can, however, I think today might be my last time coming here. My wife ordered the Southwest Beef Bowl. The first issue was the how small the portion was for the bowl and also the amount of meat that was in it. It literally had maybe about 8-10 small cubes of beef and the rest being rice, which also was very mushy and not pleasant to eat. Secondly, the seasoning on their items lack quite a bit, especially the meatballs in their spaghetti. They are just so bland and the meat also has a very odd texture to it. Not exactly sure what they do to it, but it's not good. And this was the second time I've ordered that meal. The salads are pretty decent to good. I've had their Baja Salad and the Texas Smokehouse and they came out pretty good and also a good portion. I tried their "wraps" but really they are just burrito salads with them using a flour tortilla vs a real pita wrap. Not the end of the world, but using flour tortillas makes the wraps taste different and have more tendency of breaking apart easier when eating. I think from now on, I'll just go to Simply Salad down the street as their food is always good and portions are consistent. read more

I always love what I order at the toss up! My go to is the mandarin. It's really easy to customize orders, I asked for no cabbage and extra chicken.

This is absolutely the salad place in LA. Amazing!!!!!!! Rick the owner made sure our food was perfect when we received it.

Excellent food, service, everything was wonderful. Definitely will come here every week.

Tried this place for dinner while in Long Beach and not only was the food amazing but the staff and service were fantastic. We ordered the loaded backed potato which is large enough to feed 2 People. They spared NO bacon on it and the flavor was great. We also ordered the Baja chicken salad with jalapeño ranch dressing and this dressing made the salad. It had the perfect spice level and was the perfect consistency. I only wish they sold it in-store so I could take it home. While we were eating we were served samples of their soup which included chilli, tortilla, tomato and basil, and clam chowder. ALL of the soups were delicious but my favorite was the tomato and basil. I needed a grilled cheese sandwich, a blanket, and my favorite TV show to top off that soup. Lastly we were greeted by a gentleman named Rick. Not sure if he's the owner or chef but he was so warm and friendly and made our visit even better. I highly recommend this location, the food, and the great people that work there. read more

Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful in explaining the menu since it was our first time. I love the idea of a fast casual eatery that has healthy options. And I don't think I've seen another place in the area that has big baked potatoes on their menu! The food was tasty, the space was clean and I loved that they were playing 90s/2000s R&B videos on the screen. No issue parking in the adjacent lot when we arrived, but I could see it getting a bit busy during lunch times with other restaurants in the same plaza. Looking forward to coming back! read more

When you're in the mood for something healthy yet tasty, The Toss Up has been my go-to for salads! They have a good variety of set options or you can build your own. My favorite is their Baja Salad. It comes with romaine, mixed greens, corn, black beans, red onion, cherry tomatoes, avocado, cilantro, cheddar cheese, tortilla strips, and grilled chicken. I appreciate the variety of fresh ingredients in this salad! It usually comes with a spicy jalapeno dressing, but I prefer their BBQ Ranch. "The Toss Up" Cobb is pretty good as well. This one has romaine, cherry tomatoes, avocado, hard boiled egg, cheddar cheese, bacon, roast turkey, bacon, and red onions. All of their salads come with a piece of flat bread. too. Their pre-set salads are definitely a better deal than if you try to select each ingredient when you build your own bowl. Another thing I like about The Toss Up is they have other pasta, baked potato, and soup options in case you feel like you need something extra on top of a salad. We tried their Loaded Baked Potato Bowl and their Cheddar Broccoli Baked Potato Bowl, and they were HUGE! Definitely good for sharing. We usually order online ahead of time, and the estimated wait time always seems oddly long, but sometimes when we get to the restaurant, there aren't too many people there. Not sure if the estimated pick up time system needs to be calibrated? read more

My Mistake! You ever go to a restaurant and they do things sooo good/right you realize you judged them against previous *meh* experiences? Well, that's what I realized today. I stopped in to pick up lunch for myself and my family. I ordered two shrimp alfredos and two cesar salads. I always get my salads with the dressing mixed in. I'm used to places having watery dressing with barely any flavor so I just assumed The Toss Up would kinda be the same, especially because this is a cesar dressing (and yes, I've been here before to dine in and got the dressing mixed in then too, to the Thai salad). By the time I got home (after making a stop), my salad had wilted a bit and my croutons were not as chrunchy. I'm not mad about it because THE FLAVOR!!!!! OMG!!! this cesar dressing is amazing! Creamy, sumptuous, heavy in the best way possible. Every bite of lettuce, parmesan cheese, chicken, and crouton had dressing on it. And I even ordered an extra dressing! As always, service was great. Such friendly, chatty, kind folks work here. Expect to be greeted when you walk in and get a friendly "bye, see you later" when you leave. BTW, my family loved their food, "delicious" is what they said :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This might be a Yelp thing or a me thing but the review above erased my previous review. I was in to The Toss Up on Friday, June 13 and had a great experience. The Thai salad was so flavorful and full of everything fresh and crunchy--veggies and peanuts. We were greeted warmly by the owner who explained the menu to us in detail. My friend and I split the spaghetti and meatballs and I can't recall the last time I had pasta this good. This first experience was just soooo positive it's why I came back. I wanted another delicious meal and wanted my family to know what I've been raving about. read more

On this grey So Cal day I was feeling too lazy to make my own salad. I was hungry, my bestie had time to spare so we headed to The Toss Up for a soup and salad lunch. I love when I'm greeted upon entering a restaurant, it's an acknowledgement that creates a positive experience right from the start. We approached the counter and placed our orders. Simple, straight forward and despite a tiny error that was easily fixed, the process was painless. Our salads, soups and beverages arrived and we dug in. My Baja salad was super yummy - the creamy jalapeño dressing was so good - it has a kick and I loved it. Her Santorini salad was equally yummy and both of us agreed we'd order them again. The broccoli cheddar soups were hot and tasty and we loved that the cheddar tasted authentic - not one of those afterthought soups thrown on a menu to check a box. The chunks of broccoli were perfect in size and the only thing I would have liked to have was a sprinkling of pepper. The service was superb. Friendly and personable which makes the experience even better. These days I don't mind paying more for food if the service is top notch. Would have liked the soda to be accessible for refills. You're given a plastic lid to cover your bowl for leftovers - we didn't have anything to take home, so the lids went unused and became waste. Overall, the menu is loaded with options and coupled with the service, I would visit again. Oh! Almost forgot to mention the R&B music playing in the background! That made the visit memorable. Keep on, keeping on The Toss Up! read more

Incredible!!! My friend and I came here for a healthier option after a day at the theme parks, and this did not disappointed! We were greeted with incredible customer service, and were showered with samples. I ultimately had the Dreamy Vegan, and he built his own salad, but wow!! The size of our salads, and the protein, as well as the dressings, absolutely delicious. I also got to try the broccoli cheddar and tomato soup, and both were bursting with the most delicious flavors!

It being our first time, Rick, the owner explained the menu in its entirety. We ordered these items to go: - Clam Chowder - Mandarin Salad ( the lettuce to topping ratio needs to be fixed- TOO MUCH LETTUCE ) - Loaded Baked Potato While we waited we able to try : Tomato bisque Clam chowder Tortilla soup Broccoli & cheddar soup Pasta salad Açaí ALL WERE DELICIOUS!!

If you're looking for a spot that proves "healthy" doesn't have to mean boring, Toss Up Salad Restaurant delivers the goods. Think fresh, seasonal ingredients, vibrant flavors, and a chef-driven menu that puts real creativity into greens, grains, and proteins. The vibe is clean and modern--bright enough for a lunch meet-up, but relaxed enough to feel like your new go-to. Service? Friendly, efficient, and you can tell the staff knows their menu well. The Toss Up Cobb Salad is a must (loaded, balanced, and oh-so-satisfying), but don't sleep on their Thai, Mandarin Baja, or Chicken Caesar salads--each one packs its own flavor punch. If you're craving something heartier, the Baked Potato Bowl hits that comfort food note without weighing you down. And yes, they've got soups worth exploring too--perfect sides to round out the meal. Some might say prices run a bit high for "just a salad," but the quality, portion size, and chef-led touch make it worth the splurge. At the end of the day, Toss Up nails the combo of healthy, responsibly sourced, and seriously tasty. read more

Honestly I was taken away by the dining style. Really comfortable and would rather enjoy my bite here than my own place (not that I don't care for my home).. but moreover to quality; in top-tier customer service and food being served here is absolutely it. I've had their wraps and it was pretty fulfilling, leaving me satisfied along with a chicken noodle soup at the time I was dealing with a cold. Boss man is always there and you will know who. Highly attentive and attention to detail is sharp. I can see how much he cares about his business making us feel even more welcomed than our first time. Will be back to enjoy more items on the menu. Will recommend and thanks to the incredible staff and their hard work. read more
