Love this place! Everything is fresh and the portions are very generous. Great staff that isn’t rushed and take the time to get your order right. I highly recommend building your own salad with a mix of greens and some lean protein!

Wow, wow, WOW!!!! If you enjoy eating salads, you are in for a treat. Everything is fresh; staff is friendly and make suggestions based on what you like. The Toss makes their own dressing, so I'd order it on the side, for it's very flavorful. Bon appétit..

The staff here is very friendly and helpful. The salads themselves are really tasty and filling. There are a lot of vegan options, so if that's your jam, you're in luck. There is a nice collection of root beer and teas too (and beer as well!)!
