Saladworks

I was looking to stop somewhere for a light and healthy lunch and found just that at Saladworks. We were greeted as soon as we entered and the woman behind the counter went over the menu with us as you can pretty much customize everything, but the wraps. I ordered the 1/2 crispy Asian chicken salad and 1/2 tomato caprese panini, it was great and the salad was huge. The employees behind the line were really nice and put a lot of care into the food, good experience. It's nice

This time, after two years!, I came with a friend to sit and eat at the place. It wasn't that crowded, and I selected an Avacado Cobb salad after perusing the extensive choices.The meal was prepared quickly as you stood at the counter and watched them prepare the meal. The staff is super friendly and efficient and seemed very ready to accommodate and please.The preparer asked if I wanted the dressing, I chose thousand island, on the side which I did, and appreciated the option. I was also offered a bun and butter.The salad comes in a metal salad bowl, and the portion is huge. Everything was very fresh and tasty. Avacado can be a bit chancey in quality, but it was excellent. The salad was just under $14. and worth it as it could easily be two meals, and trust me, I am not a light eater.The place is basic and looks like a cafeteria. No frills and just a storefront type place, which is perfectly fine for this type of place.I'll go back again and, hopefully, in less than two years between visits.

My family wanted fast food near the area . I'm trying to eat better during the week . I like having a healthier option near us . Walking in this establishment is very clean and organized. I got greeted by Jett he was super friendly and very knowledgeable . He asked if I had been there before which I have but only for pick up . He explained how the ordering works and the options I have. I have to say the customer service I received today was above and beyond! For my food I ordered Half Cranberry 'N Pecan Chicken Salad Sandwich & Half Avocado Cobb Salad it came with a bag of chips and a pickle . The food was very delicious. The portions are very generous . My tummy was very happy ! They had 16 salad dressings to choose from WOW..That is a lot !. They offer Wraps, Signature Sandwiches, Warm Grain Bowls, Soups, Panini Melts, Kids Works ,(kids meals) and Sides & Desserts. They have an option to build your own or you can pick from the menu . They also have a pick two which is what I got . Which is you can pick half and half of anything instead of committing to one thing. For drinks they have a nice fountain drink station offering Tractor Certificate Organic products . All the sodas are from that brand your typical soda flavors . But they also offer Black Tea , Hibiscus, Strawberry Dragon Fruit, and Farmers Punch all from the same Tractor brand pretty fancy drinks lol . I wanted to also mention the to go plates they have are very durable they feel like a real plate . I like attention to detail and that was a nice touch . Overall I will definitely be coming back . My food was delicious ! The service was amazing . It's nice to have a this place near by . I highly recommend..

I keep thinking to myself, why aren't there more salad places in town? With many people watching their diet and counting calories (including myself), I wished more of these types of food establishments existed. Back in the day, I used to go to "Pluto's" and "Fresh Choice" as my salad options. These days, at least in the Sacramento/Roseville area, I find myself frequenting "Jack's Urban Eats" as well as "Garden of Eat'n". Which takes me on a trip up Highway 65 in Lincoln where I got to try "Saladworks" for the very first time.What surprised me is that this business operates in 22 states in the United States with the majority of their restaurants in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. However, there are only (2) locations in California; one in Hollister (in between San Jose & Monterey) and the location I am reviewing, in Lincoln. This is a relatively new addition to this area as they opened for business in the spring of 2022. They are in a strip mall at the corner of Sterling Pkwy & Lincoln Blvd while they are surrounded by a "Mountain Mike's Pizza" and "Jamba".I came here during the afternoon of Saturday 8/19/2023 at around 2:45pm. Even though this was well past the lunch rush, it was quite busy with multiple customers dining in and a few waiting to order the meal. This gave me time to glance at their menu as they have a very nice variety of customizable and specialty salads, sandwiches, wraps, and paninis. The inside is spacious with ample seating throughout. Additionally, they offer a self-serve fountain drink area and a public restroom leading towards the rear of the building. Keep in mind that this location does not offer any outdoor dining.I ended up going with the 1/2 salad, 1/2 panini combination meal for $13.99 + tax. My salad of choice was their "Grilled Chicken Mediterranean" which included super greens lettuce blend, grilled chicken, roasted cauliflower, sliced cucumbers, roasted red peppers, red onions, and feta cheese. Since I went with some type of protein in my salad, I went with a vegetarian panini which was their "Tomato 'N Mozzarella"; this also included roasted red peppers, baby spinach, pesto sauce, and balsamic vinaigrette on rustic white bread. In addition to the salad & sandwich, I also received a pickle slice and small bag of Lays potato chips. Quite a bit of food for the price!As busy as it was, my salad and sandwich was prepared in a quick, timely manner. I will say that everything tasted amazing; the lettuce was cold, crisp, and refreshing while all the toppings were all represented perfectly. It was actually quite large considering this was a 1/2 salad. Even the panini tasted great and was very filling. I do have to say that eating this around 3:00pm carried me through the rest of my afternoon and dinner as I didn't need to eat any dinner.Overall, "Saladworks" is as good as it gets; very reasonable prices, large portions, excellent customer service, and a huge assortment of options to choose from. I hope they are able to expand to many more locations in and around the Sacramento area and Bay Area. Even in Southern California, this type of place would do tremendous business in Los Angeles, San Diego, and Inland Empire areas. My rating, a perfect five stars.

We've only ate from here once (did takeout), but there were a couple of issues with the food. Hopefully it's an uncommon thing. We might try them again, but I currently don't have much to say that's positive. I can say that the salad ingredients seemed really fresh. We'll give them another shot at some point and see what happens...

The salads are the best here! It's so nice to have a healthy lunch option. I had the Avocado Cobb salad, delicious! My friend, Abby, had a bbq salad, she really liked it too. We will be back , nice place with good, healthy food, yum!

I ordered the Pick 2 for $12.99, choosing a 1/2 Farmers Market Salad and 1/2 Cranberry 'n Pecan Sandwich. The sandwich looked very enticing, but it didn't pack much flavor. I loved the plentiful, fresh salad with the roasted turkey and roasted butternut squash. Brussels sprouts were crunchy.With the Pick 2, you could choose two 1/2 salads or two 1/2 sandwiches if you like. I will probably choose 2 half salads in the future to figure out my favorite signature salad faster. One whole signature salad is $11.99, so that is the better deal if you already know what you want. You can create your own salad, warm grains bowl, mix of salad greens and warm grains, or wrap with 5 toppings for $12.49. You could also just buy a 1/2 salad for $8-$9.Every Signature Salad combination can be turned into a wrap or a warm grains bowl.Extra toppings and premium toppings cost $1.39-$2.99 each.Four choices in tortilla wraps: White, Wheat, Tomato Basil, and SpinachSix soup options.I did think a 1/2 salad was enough food. I don't think the photos are doing justice to the portion size. You might feel like you're getting more if you dine in given the salads are mixed in a large stainless steel bowl.Servers were friendly and enthusiastic to explain to first-timers how to order. Clean, cheerful dining room.You can ask to see the nutrition facts for the menu items, or you can find it online. The Signature Salads and the Cranberry 'n Pecan Sandwich are all under 500 carbs.https://saladworks.widget.eagle.bigzpoon.com/menusSalads don't normally appeal me, so it is exciting to find a delicious salad restaurant!

The Cali chicken grilled wrap was so fresh and tasty! They staff was friendly and although it was busy the place and atmosphere was still welcoming.

First time here, seems to be a solid choice for salads and sandwiches. Looking at their menu, it struck me as a very similar concept to another chain at which I've eaten a few times - Garden of Eat'n - just to throw out a comparison for people familiar with the other chain. Very similar down to the "designer" fountain drinks. I have no idea which chain came before the other and not claiming one is a copy of the other... but yeah, the "oh, this is a lot like that other place" came to mind for sure.Anyway, we were in the mood for salads - and this place was fairly close, so it got the nod. I've been super strict on simple carbs lately, so of course that limits my options a bit... but I'm pretty good at rolling with whatever the menu has to offer. I chose the Grilled Chicken Mediterranean Salad, which I would say is a solid choice for someone on a Keto type low-carb diet like myself. My friend chose the Asian Crispy Chicken Salad.Both salads were great - large and filling, fresh ingredients, great taste. They're good about asking how much dressing to put on the salad... I appreciate that... they basically ask you to tell them "when" as they're squeezing the dressing. That's something they do that I haven't experienced at the other similar chain. They can also put the dressing on the side if you wish so you can add it yourself. The standard dressing with my salad was a house made lemon olive oil vinaigrette so I let her squirt a pretty heavy dose. One thing I was disappointed in was the designer sodas. Not a single zero sugar / zero calorie option... and this is in a healthy salad place! There was a "lite" sugar option, but that was I think 8g of sugar and I'm doing my best to have zero added sugar in all of my food these days. It's not easy for sure - but most if not all places that offer fountain sodas usually have a zero sugar option. I know some of the sugar substitutes have issues of their own, but that's a different subject. They did have an unsweetened black tea option, so I went with that and added Splenda (offered at the front counter).All in all a solid option for fresh and healthy-ish food. I'm sure I'll be back. In comparing this to the other similar place I mentioned, I think I'd give a slight edge to the other place overall but like I said, they're pretty close.

Friendly but need more staff in the afternoon to keep up with the business flow or management needs to hire more people if it's busier then expect waited ten minutes passed expected delivery pick up time
