    blair salad with chicken noodle soup
    Isabella L.

    this place is super delicious and a super smart choice. If you're trying to eat healthy I always get the Blair salad because it's my favorite and the soup is also super yummy. Definitely come try it out.

    Summer salad with pita bread
    Alicia C.

    Fun fact this place has been here for 16 years!! I'm obsessed. The food is always fresh and delicious when I order my usual summer salad. Service is fast as well. There is dine in and online ordering available to pick up your food. Theres several combo options like get a salad and a side- which I like, to try different items in a more cost efficient way! The only thing I would say is there is no ApplePay so make sure to have your card or cash on hand. If you want yummy salads definitely give them a try. I go at least once a week and have never had an issue with my orders.

    Half size Greek salad
    Andrea R.

    I came here on a Saturday for a healthy lunch date with my girl friend. The line was extremely backed up and we waited 15 minutes to order. They are growing in popularity and I can see why. The vegetables are crisp and clean, you can tell they are washed well. The salads are well combined and just the right amount of vinaigrette dressing. I loved all the toppings and even the falafel tasted authentic. I can't wait to go back and try the pick 2 everyone does with salad and a sandwich! Small inside but ample seating in the dining area. I love the decor as one of the walls is entirely made up of greenery.

    Summer salad

    Summer salad with poppyseed dressing is to live for! That's it, that's all! Best salad on the Eastside of Orlando for an amazing price. For about $10 you can indulge in the bright, fresh, refreshing flavors that remind you of summertime. The fruit is super fresh and tasty paired with the poppyseed dressing. I just can't get enough of it! And this was a take out plate by the way, so imagine dining in!

    a bowl of salad and a grilled cheese sandwich

    Stopped in for lunch. Food is healthy and fresh. Employees were very nice and the place was clean. A bit pricey but seems like every place is expensive nowadays. We had the half sandwich and salad options. Everything tasted great and very filling.

    This has been my go-to salad place for years, but I never hear anybody talking about it. As a hidden gem, on the less popular side of the Waterford Lakes Towncenter, it is often fairly empty and quick. They have fresh, large salads for a reasonable price. It's assembled quickly in front of you like Subway or Chipotle. I personally like to do the tri combo and get a cup of soup, half salad, and half sandwich for the best bang for your buck. They have a lot of options to choose from, or you can build your own. They're also very flexible with switching out ingredients if you don't like something as well.

    Designer Greens is a salad and pita place in Waterford Towers that has been around long enough that I can't remember how long it has been here. It is a place that I have enjoyed a few times and does offer a somewhat healthier option than many of the other places in the Waterford Lakes area. As I said, it is in the Waterford Towers shopping mall and the location in the shopping mall is not the best, but once you find it, you will notice it every time you come in this shopping mall. The salads are pretty good and a decent size. You can build it to suit your unique tastes and you will like it. I must say that I do miss the glorious all you can eat Sweet Tomatoes since its closing due to COVID-19, but I guess Designer Greens will be a nice replacement. The pita sandwiches are ok, though a bit small (or maybe I just have a huge appetite). All in all, I would recommend here when you are seeking a healthy meal.

    Pick 2 - Southern Gentleman
    Paige G.

    Not a fan. For an establishment claiming to be healthy, why do I have to pull out my phone to calculate calories topping by topping?! I got the pick 2. It was a little under $10 for half a sandwich (really a pita) and half a salad. The "pita" was good. I got the southern gentleman. It's nothing I'd return for. The bruschetta salad I got was bland. You could tell the sun dried tomatoes were the ones soaked in oil. Using dry sun dried tomatoes is the "healthy" option. Don't recommend. I left still hungry, even with eating most the salad, which I didn't even like. I'll stick to my regular salad place.

    Ordered a salad online requested chicken for a $4 fee and didn't receive any. When I called to tell them they told me I had to request a refund through door dash. Didn't even offer to remake the salad for me. Kind of a pain in the butt, and was hoping to have protein for lunch not just lettuce and toppings.

    Design your own salad - 5 toppings and dressing mixed in
    Hannah M.

    There aren't many salad places in the area, but this is definitely my favorite of the few. They have great combo deals with their soups of the day and made-to-order sandwiches, but their completely customizable design-your-own salads are usually my go-to. They make their own dressings and serve diners in the salad bowls they use to make your meals, which I personally think is a nice touch. It's too bad they're closed on Sundays and will no longer be using Boars Head as a supplier for many products, but I think the quality is still excellent!

    Greek salad with avocado instead of cheese and a side of Pita & Hummus
    Enit S.

    It's interesting how my perspective has changed so much when I go out to eat since transitioning to Vegan. I have a new found respect and admiration for this establishment because they were so obliging to my request, and because they were so patient with me when I was trying to find a topping to substitute cheese with, and because I left feeling full, and happily satisfied without spending an arm and a leg. (Just under $10) They have both indoor and outdoor seating, I chose to sit outside and could see the horde of people walking over to Kohls and I found out later that they were having an amazing sale so, there are advantages to sitting outside, just FYI. I also love how DG is conveniently located right next to a vitamin shoppe, so it's a win-win all around, can't wait to go back and try another of their salads!

    Parker Salad with Turkey and chicken and dumplings soup.
    Clint R.

    Nothing negative here! I enjoyed Designer Greens! Plenty of salad for the price in the Parker salad that I ordered with turkey. I also ordered a cup of chicken and dumplings soup. Which was pretty good. Speaking of price, this place is on par with other salad restaurants. The employees were attentive and kind and one girl was immediately cleaning tables as patrons left. Atmosphere is simple and the music was a nice blend of pop music. If you're looking for salad in Waterford area, I recommend this place. Bonus... it's on the "less crazy traffic" side of Waterford.

    Create your own half salad with tomatoes, olives, avocado, and citrus vinaigrette. Added chicken for $2.
    Stacy V.

    Be a salad designer! Requirements: Highly motivated individual with a desire to create a salad with a variety of fresh ingredients. Job description: Hungry for romaine or spring mix lettuce, veggies, and/or meats. Flexibility to try new dressings, such as citrus vinaigrette or jalapeno ranch. At Designer Greens, you can do just that. Be a designer of your own salad. There are a lot of good topping choices here! Find them clearly listed on the wall or the printed menus. My choice for lunch? A half salad with romaine and spring lettuce with three toppings - avocado, tomatoes, and olives. I chose citrus vinaigrette, which was a very light dressing. I added grilled chicken for an extra $2, which I thought was worth it. Oddly, my salad was served in the silver bowl it was mixed in, but I guess it saves on washing dishes and excess product waste. Overall, not a bad price for what you get! If you have a hard time thinking on the spot, there are options for you too. Select from a list of salads that the restaurant has already put together. Not a salad lover? You're in luck! They have sandwiches here too! My brother ordered the Mexicali sandwich when we were here and it quickly disappeared from his plate. This place has my stamp of approval for salads. I can't vouch for the other items, but I would come back here to eat salad!

The chicken and beef soup dumplings were mediocre and needed the chili oil to be better, especially the chicken ones. The beef pan-fried dumplings made me feel ill; not only were they pretty greasy, but they also lacked flavor. The shrimp fried rice was nothing special. Choosing corn and onion as the only ingredients in the fried rice was interesting, but it wasn't bad. Do I think it's worth the wait when the wait times get up to an hour? No. There are so many other Asian spots with dumplings elsewhere.

The decor of the restaurant very much embodies the name. It gives all the zen vibes. I love that you can see through the glass the chefs making the soup dumplings. The service was spectacular. We were walked through the menu and everything was thoroughly explained. I started with a glass of the house pinot grigio which was crisp. We ordered several things so we could try an assortment of menu options. The beef pancake roll was yummy. The sampler of the soup dumplings is the way to go. It gives you option to try 6 flavors. My favorites were pork and chicken. They were so fresh and beyond flavorful. Also, we ordered the Mongolian Beef plate that comes over rice. So much meat and very good. The bao bites were yummy. This was more than enough food for 2 people plus plenty of leftovers. I thought the whole experience of dinner was fantastic.

My friend treated me to a birthday lunch this week and when we got to the table, the staff had a birthday card waiting for me! How thoughtful! We came during happy hour and decided to try a few small plates and drinks. The Egg Rolls are a must! They were packed with flavor and a variety of ingredients. My friend especially loved the shrimp. We also tried the quesadillas and sliders on the happy hour menu. Both dishes tasted incredible! Sadly, though the happy hour has half priced apps, the plates are also half sized. They were absolutely delicious, but the dishes felt overpriced for the portion size. As for drinks, I tried the sangria flight. I wasn't expecting such a full portion size and was pleasantly surprised with that. I did, however, only find 2 of the 4 drinks to be especially tasty. I wouldn't order that flight again, but would be interested in their wine offerings. I loved the low lighting in the space as it set such a calm and laid back mood. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and especially loved the food! Totally recommend.

I'd go back again for dinner and try out their brunch sometime.
