Salad and Go

Salad and Go is good if you want healthy fast food. Not good if you are on a budget though. Everytime I have gone through it has always been fresh and they were always friendly. Its pretty basic selection of salads and wraps. I was hoping for it to be more like D’Lish but its not that good…

Recommend: Yes!
Okay, this is 5 stars for a fast food place. Remember that. This is not the Ritz.
We stopped in today on a quick turnaround trip from S. Cal. I was intrigued by the idea of a healthy drive-​thru. I was quite surprised and sorry to find that they have no dining room at all. But the good news is that the weather was nice so we sat outside and got bonus vitamin D3 while dining ;)
Service is super fast and the food is super fresh!
Food:
My hubby had the Cobb salad (hold the egg) and a regular black iced tea (they have fruity black teas also).
I had the Strawberry & Roasted Sweet potato salad with goat cheese and a champagne vinaigrette.
Oh! And one of the BEST cups of lemonade I’ve ever had (and I’ve had A LOT!).
I will dream of that cucumber mint lemonade for years, I’m sure of it. It was not overly sweet at all, the cucumber seemed to be minced and perhaps macerated. This added a unique sweet flavor to the beverage as you drank the bits at the bottom. There was just a hint of mint to brighten the flavor overall. This was truly a masterpiece of balancing and complimenting flavors! (Can you tell I REALLY liked it??)
Okay, back to the salads:
Cobb salad, hubby was satisfied, said it was good and it looked like it was nicely dressed, meaning not drowning, just well coated without a pool of dressing left at the end.
My Strawberry salad (I asked them to add cucumbers, too. I was really craving cucumber today.) was tossed in a VERY LIGHT coating of dressing (like, not all the leaves had dressing), but the salad had so much flavor from the ingredients, I did not want any more dressing as it would have detracted from the goodness going on in the bowl. The greens were a very fresh batch of mixed field greens. I did not find one yucky looking leaf! The salads are quite large, especially for a fast food place. I easily could have eaten only half and saved the rest to take home, but we still had 7 – 8 hours before we would be back home, so I ate it all :)
The salad was not packed full of tons of extras, but had just enough to taste good and have some goodies with the greens in every bite.
I would certainly return when in Gilbert again. (Oh that lemonade!!!)

I just went here for the first time a week ago and then went for a second time today. I absolutely adore this place! Eating healthy is so hard when you’re busy, but this place is a game changer!
In the past I will occasionally order salads to be healthy, but I don’t enjoy it. These salads are the best I’ve ever had! I tried their Cobb salad and their seasonal roasted Brussels sprouts and bacon. There is a perfect amount of each ingredient mixed in! The dressing is just a cherry on top because I could honestly eat these salads without dressing (which I have never said before about a salad ever! That’s how flavorful the salads are!)
Please open up one of these in Tempe ASAP!
This is going to be the only fast food I get when I’m in the area!
I’d give it bonus stars if I could!

Good place for a quick healthy dinner. Seasonal salads aren’t usually very good, but the main menu items are pretty solid.

I wanted to eat something fresh, I didn’t have time to waste, and this was the perfect spot. Salad in a drive thru! I got the BBQ ranch with chicken and the Asian salad with chicken. I loved the BbQ ranch, I thought the Asian wasn’t exactly what I was looking for, but my Dad thought it was great. so we ended up winning on both salads!
The dressings had a sophisticated taste in a simple flavor. The simple flavor of BBQ and ranch combined with a sense of complexity that gives the BBQ ranch salad a gourmet taste, while still being a flavor of comfort.
All the veggies were fresh and crisp and the chicken was free range, which always makes me feel better about the food I put in my body.
I wish there was a Salad and go in my neighborhood because I’m barely ever in Gilbert.

This is one of my favorite lunch spots — great for a healthy & quick meal. Also love that they have a healthy kids menu.

Very good, reasonable place. I loved sitting outside for lunch. May not be as fun during the winter tho. Just wish they had a restroom

I love this place, I can grab a salad on my way to work to save time. Everything is delicious but my favorite is the BBQ salad with chicken.

I really like the salads here, I get the caprese w/​chicken most often. The drive thru is pretty quick but can get backed up at times. The people are very nice and that is a plus in my book :)

Love that there is a healthy drive through/​walk up option for a quick salad, smoothie or soup. They have breakfast options as well which is handy if you happen to be near a location and need to pick something up. The summer menu has gazpacho which is very tasty! They always have a Strawberry Kale Smoothie on the menu as well as a special smoothie and salad.

In the immortal words of George Takei,“Oh my!!”
This place is amazing. As having recently converted to a much healthier diet, my fiancée and I just haven’t really been able to find a place that fills the «it’s too late to make diner» void. This place just filled that hole, with amazingly fresh, tasteful salad!!! No joke, a «fast food» joint that’s truly healthy. We used the drive through, and really appreciated being able to watch them make our salad as we waited. Perfectly chopped greens, great lettuce to dressing to chicken ratio, PERFECT!!! I can’t wait to come back here. Oh, this is the Salad and Go on Gilbert Rd. Service was prompt, friendly, and the place looked really clean. Thanks again for an amazing experience!!!

I was so surprised and pleased by what I found here! I have been meaning to stop by for some time now. I recommend this place all the time to my nutrition coaching clients as a great alternative fast food option just based off of their menu. The service was so great and personal for a drive through and the food was AWESOME! I can’t even tell you how much I loved the seasonal gazpacho. I had so much flavor and was the perfect way to cool down from the Arizona summer heat. The portion size for the salads was huge! It was on par with what you would get at a nice sit down restaurant and was fresh and crisp. It’s really such a great value.
I also think it’s important to make a note of how great the kids meal worked out. Normally I’m not proud when I resort to fast food for my children. What we got here was healthy, affordable, and kid approved.
All around this was a great experience and I look forward to coming back!

Came here tonight. This place is so good! I was really nervous about whether it would be fresh or not considering I’ve never had a salad from a drive through that actually was, so I wasn’t expecting much from this one. Positive reviews on Unilocal led us to give it a try.
I ordered a bbq ranch wrap and it was amazing! The veggies all tasted fresh and the chipotle sauce was pleasantly spicy, but not too much so. We’re probably going to be moving to an office near here soon, so hopefully we’ll be going here a lot in the future. Definitely want to go back soon to try more of the wraps. I do wish they had like a really small area for inside seating as my mom and I like to go out to lunch and we’d love to sit and eat at a place with salads this good. It’s a bit too hot during summer in Phoenix to sit at the outside tables.
Biggest downside is I’m a Diet Coke addict and sadly, there’s no real soda here.

Stopped in for breakfast this morning and ordered a Quinoa Berry Breakfast Bowl sans the berries and it was amazing. I requested they add a drizzle honey and I really enjoyed every bite! Quality ingredients, phenomenal recipe for sweet quinoa and the delicious peanut butter topping made this a dish you really need to try! I plan on stopping by tonight to try the quinoa and sweet potato salad. Love this place!!! Oh … And once everyone at the office got a look at my breakfast and stuck their greedy little spoons in for a taste, I now have orders to pick up for them tomorrow! Great location, drive thru was fast and service was super friendly. Will definitely be back! Often!

Tried it with the wifey.
Nice and quick, which was good but did kind of agree it feels like the fast food of salads. Although the salad was huge, it was mostly lettuce (which tasted a little less than fresh but not rotten or slimey) the dressing was just ok, and I had to really look for the chicken.
Will most likely try a couple more times if we’re in a pinch but if I have the time I would rather a nicer salad for the same price just down the road.

I love love love this place and I’m so happy that there is now one on Williamsfield near my home. The wait here can be a little crazy around lunch so if you have an hour lunch maybe think again until we are fortunate enough to have more of these around. I must say though, the wait does not keep me away. The flavors and the freshness of the veggies is insane and delicious so I’ll be coming and waiting for as long as I have to! The people that work here are also incredibly kind. Never see a frown and even when they are super busy I wouldn’t know it because they don’t show or react to the crazy stress. Keep up the awesome work!

Yum! I got the Caprese salad and it was awesome. Mozzarella and pesto yes please! It was a good price for the size. I’m a little skeptical when it comes to salads since you can go to a salad buffet for like $ 6 but it was definitely worth it. I was also worried the dressing was going to be too tart or but it was perfect!
It’s too bad it’s out of my way to come back but if I’m in Gilbert this place would be the reason why.

Spot on. Seriously. Great HUGE salad quick friendly service! They need more locations… But then I’d be there daily. I’ll be back.

Ok, seriously why did no one think of this spectacular idea before? Healthy, reasonably priced salad drive thru. Oh and not to be forgotten, AMAZING breakfast.
My obsession with Salad and Go started in a cool morning with a warm berry quinoa bowl. So feeling good! It’ll make you forget you ever had any desire for oatmeal in your past life.
Then I tried a caprese salad and the obsession grew. It’s a HUGE salad (seriously three meals worth for me) bursting with pesto and balsamic. And for a little over $ 5? Sold.
Then, addiction set in with a breakfast bowl. Anytime someone wants to give me red potatoes, pico de gallo and avocado for breakfast, I am totally in… at first I thought it was odd that’s it’s really more of a salad breakfast bowl (ie: the tons of fresh spinach leaves they serve up for you for breakfast) but holy breakfast… mix that in with some egg whites and I am SOLD for life on this.
Oh…and the iced coffee? Yum. I am such a coffee snob and I love theirs.
Everyone is super friendly and they even have organic dog bones for the furry kids if you bring them along for the ride.
Grab a salad and go at your next available opportunity, you will thank me (and them).

I love Salad and Go. This location (the first location ever opened BTW) is right by my work so I go pretty often. The service just gets better and better every time I go. I really enjoy all the salads and smoothies. There isn’t a bad one in the bunch. The seasonal options keep every visit interesting. The seasonal strawberry almond with ginger dressing salad is definitely one to try when they have it on the menu. I read the following article a while back about Salad and Go and think it is important to share:

The article points out exactly why Salad and Go is truly great! I really hope they continue to succeed and hope they can open more and more locations. Thanks Salad and Go for taking such pride in providing a great fast and easy option for good food.
