the 2 star review is for the experience I had today. normally, my experience is exemplary, but there were just so many issues today, I had to write this update.
today, a coworker went to Salad and Go and picked up a new Spicy Jalapeno Salad for me. I'd really been looking forward to this. she brought it back to work for me, and there was NO bacon on it, as well as the wrong dressing. I have no transportation to go to Salad and Go and have my salad replaced immediately, so I called them...all I reached was a recording. 4 hours later, when I was finally off work, I had my ride drive me over to Salad and Go, so that I could get my salad replaced. I explained what had happened, and even after explaining, I got a lecture from a supervisor(?) who said, "well, next time, come back immediately". I repeated that I DO NOT HAVE A CAR and therefore had no way to come over there immediately. they asked me what I wanted on my replacement salad and I repeated TWICE that I wanted blue cheese crumbles instead of cotija cheese. what did they give me? cotija cheese. whatever. I had to get home to my son, so I blew it off and went home. when I opened the salad, I found that at least A QUARTER of it was very badly wilted spinach. that was the last straw.
I'm very upset about this visit, but I hope it's a one time thing. I plan on returning(and getting my own food in person only, so I can check that it's exactly what is on the menu, exactly what I order, and FRESH), and I hope they've gotten it together by then.

I figure it's about time I review this place, since I've been a regular since it opened!
The salads are around $6, plus $2 if you add a protein. The portions are ENORMOUS, and the toppings are evenly distributed throughout the salad, which is great! There are TONS of toppings, all fresh and bite-sized.
The Asian salad is fantastic, with peanuts, edamame, green onions, and pineapples--terrific if you add shrimp! The Greek salad is delicious, as well, especially with chicken. The seasonal Mediterranean Pasta Salad is AMAZING! While wheat penne, spinach, roasted broccoli and peppers, onions, kalamata olives, and feta cheese. I add a bunch of hot sauce and it's perfect!
Aside from salads, they have a delicious Chicken & Wild Rice Soup, and their various lemonades are fresh and refreshing!
So glad to have healthy fast food options near home/work!
