| - This is a great place to go and get a good salad. The menu features featured salads with kitschy names like "It's Chic to Be Greek" and "Chinese Chopstick" or you can come up with your own "unique" salad by choosing from all the different lettuce mixes, vegetables, dressings, cheeses, and meats. All salads either come in "Jr" or "Full" sizes. They also offer a few types of wraps.
If I sound unenthusiastic, it's because I am! I have nothing against a good salad - in fact, the Stetson Chopped at Cowboy Ciao, the Grilled Vegetable at California Pizza Kitchen, and the Broadway Pea at Kincaid's are all noteworthy salads in my book and would make me remember and return to those restaurants in the future. However, that being said, I just don't think the majority of salads are all that special or satisfying, especially not for a main course. I need substance to my meals, and a salad usually just doesn't cut it.
Now I don't want to unfairly bias people against this franchise concept or this location - the salad I got (the Chopped Veggie) was chock-full of really fresh vegetables and the roasted garlic vinaigrette was really flavorful, and it was a lot of salad for $5. But it just didn't give me that satisfying feeling I get after having a meal with carbs or lots of protein. If you love salads and the concept of getting a salad specially made and tossed to your specifications (sort of like the "sandwich artistry" Subway has made famous but with salads), you will love this place. If you want a truly full belly, you may want to take your $5 elsewhere. Like Quizno's. Just kidding, of course.
