I love going to Grassroots to get a nice salad, I work a couple buildings over and its a quick walk away when I don't put together a lunch myself. There is indoor seating for groups or individuals. You can build your own salad or customize one of their signature options. I usually order ahead, the Santa Fe salad with quinoa and tofu, and they have it ready when I arrive! You start by choosing your fresh greens, spinach, spring mix, romaine lettuce, and/or quinoa. Then a protein and any extras. Customizing one of the signature salads, you can swap ingredients too! The salads are a great size for the price and filling! A great, healthy option when downtown! read more

Literally the best salads. Nice to be able to get a tasty but healthy alternative during the workday.

I tend to always order the make your own salad and sometimes will get a bowl of soup so I have lunch for two days. I LOVE the salads here because ingredients are fresh and you can choose your own toppings. They also make their salad dressing from scratch which is the only way I will eat my salad. The soups I have tried have all been awesome and for extra buck you might as well upgrade to the bowl vs. the cup. Service is quick and I never wait for than a couple of minutes. The parking situation now is a little dicey because you have to park in spots where the meters are bagged because of construction. However, if you are just jumping in they don't have a problem with parking. Definitely a great place for ordering salads for lunches for the team! read more

Grassroots is the best place in Milwaukee to grab a quick lunchtime salad. I will say their hours confuse me a bit for a salad place since they open early in the morning, but are not open for dinner. It's almost like a Chipotle for salads. They have some specific salads on the menu, but you can also build your own. The ingredients are good and the salads are a good size (you definitely get plenty of food!). Definitely a great place to grab a quick lunch to go or to sit and eat inside or outside. read more

I think I've driven passed Grassroots a few hundred times, and somehow never stopped in - crazy! To be fair, I think the location and lack of parking always deterred me. Turns out, that really was the case. It took me 15 minutes to find parking today, so just a heads up! But hey, that's downtown Milwaukee. That being said, I'm happy I finally had a chance to get lunch here! It's definitely a clean, neat, and cute little spot. Their ingredients all appears fresh, with many options even being organic. My kind of place! I ordered a "build your own" from the customize salad bar. Plenty of spinach as a base, with added toppings of cucumber, onion, avocado, broccoli, quinoa, and kalmata olives, topped with champagne vinaigrette. From what I understand, you can turn anything into a wrap as well! A nutritious and satiating lunch for sure. Though the place seems to often be really busy, especially during the lunch hour, the service is quick and seamless. Grassroots is onboard with the idea of changing the fast food landscape, and I'm here for it. read more

Hands down my go-to lunch spot of choice, every single time I am in downtown Milwaukee during a weekday. Nice, inviting seating area with bright green, salad themed décor. The line can get lengthy especially if you go right at 12pm when most working at offices around the area stream in for a salad fix. Prices are reasonable and ingredients are always fresh. I tend to make modifications to an existing wrap menu item (e.g., no onions, add broccoli). The salad artists never make me feel bad when I make modifications or give me any gruff. I have never had a wrap at this place that I did not love. I highly recommend the Kriti wrap. I also usually get a side of dressing for dipping on the side. There is a points/loyalty program offered as well. Something to consider if you find yourself downtown / in the area often during the lunch rush. read more

We visited Grassroots for a lunch with work, which was my first time stopping by. My coworkers all had positive experiences here and recommended going. I thought it was enjoyable and appreciated the wide variety of options to choose from. I tried the Kriti Salad, which was basically a Greek salad. I chose to add chicken. I almost wish I had tried the Asian Salad, as I think I would have liked the roasted peanut ginger dressing a little better than the Greek goddess dressing on the Kriti. Don't get me wrong, the salad was good but there were a lot of choices. The salads are large, so they are a pretty good value. One thing our group lamented about was the dressing on top made it hard to mix things up properly as the salad was so thick. It would be nice if the salad was tossed in a large bowl before being served to distribute the dressing. Other than that, everyone enjoyed their lunches. There was an issue with one of the wraps a coworker had, but the staff was quick to correct it and totally re-made the wrap. For this I would say the customer service was excellent, definitely going above and beyond. I look forward to returning at some point to try one of the other salads, or maybe go with the build-your-own. It's nice to have a healthy place to get a quick lunch so close to work. read more

Grassroots Salad Company - Kriti (Greek) Salad - Salad Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Ordered a bunch of options for a work lunch for clients. We had lots of dietary preferences for our guests, including gluten free, dairy free and vegan. Plenty of delicious options to choose from that met all those needs! The juices and smoothies are not to be passed up! The "Life Glow" and "Date Night" got rave reviews, and I found the Mango to be a really good afternoon pick me up. Vegan chili was hearty, and the Asian wrap was super filling, the dressing was perfect, it wasn't dripping out of the wrap, but it wasn't dry inside either! Santa Fe salad was also a hit. Would definitely recommend this place for a work lunch, unique catering option for clients, or a nice treat-yourself lunch! read more

Grassroots is a terrific choice for a quick and large lunch! Their salad is huge and the topping selection is vast. You get four toppings, but I can't never choose just four. The food is fresh, and if you like tofu, they have a delicious marinated tofu! Grassroots is a great fast casual option in downtown Milwaukee and is essentially a chipotle or qdoba for salads. They also have smoothies and protein bowls as well, but I've always stuck to the salads. They also have combinations that they have created which have never steered me wrong, their Greek is one of my favorites! read more

Meh, is all I can say. Salad decent, service "ok". Wish I had gone somewhere else but if you like salads a lot, maybe is your place. read more

We absolutely loved our salads from Grassroots. They were so fresh and some of the best salads we ever had! The desserts were also so delicious. I highly recommend this place! read more

Limited hours and close earlier than listed on their website/ on the door. Went there 15 minutes before close on a Saturday and they said they were done for the day. Just an FYI. read more

Excellent salads. I wish they would open one out west here closer to New Berlin Waukesha area!

Honestly, I never make reviews but the salad that I received for lunch today the Sante Salad and Dr. Roots smoothie were beyond amazing! Definitely worth the price! read more

Stopped in for a smoothie breakfast. Luckily my buddy and I were the only ones there. It took quite a while to get our order. We were probably waiting 15 minutes after we ordered. The drink itself was pretty good. I got the Green Power, which is Apple, greens and pineapple. It powered me through a nice walking tour of Milwaukee. The place itself was nice. Clean and the ladies working were pleasant. It's not a bad spot, just kinda took forever. read more

I'm updating my review from 5 stars to 2 - which is SO unfortunate! I used to love Grassroots! My office used to be right next door in 100 E Wisconsin. I've gone there probably 100 times. My office moved to the Pabst district a couple months ago. While it's further, I've stronger felt it's worth the drive to pick up. However, lately, I've had a couple of bad experiences. They have forgotten to put chicken on my salad two times. This last time it happened, I called and requested a refund for the whole salad. I also wanted to pick up my chicken. I don't think that is unreasonable. The manager was kind of sassy about it and then she didn't even refund me. To make matters worse, the salad did not seem very fresh. So disappointing in the quality and service. Now, I understand that restaurants are struggling during times of COVID. I do my best to support them whenever possible. However, when I pay $12 for a salad, I do expect to get a fresh product that is correctly made. When it's not - don't have a 'tude about it and definitely don't not follow through. Sorry grassroots - you're just no longer worth it! read more

I have ordered from here a few times now. 9 dollars for a regular salad. Which is nice size. The issue I am having with the salad is. For 9 dollars. Why are my croutons soft.... Why do I have more of the rib of the lettuce than I do the lettuce. For 9 bucks a salad. You should be cutting out the rib and I should be getting fresh croutons. Over priced for mediocre salad. Step up your game. read more

Sick of pub food and heavy sandwiches? Look no further! Grassroots offers fresh, whole ingredients as either a salad or a wrap. They also have organic options for your greens as well. I ordered the Santa Fe Wrap and it was delicious. We got in just in time however because right around 1230, it was PACKED. Definitely a great spot for a lighter, healthier lunch. read more

Grassroots Salad Company is a very clean, neat restaurant! The staff was very open and welcoming, and they were immediately there to accommodate the customers. You can choose your own salad base (romaine, spring mix, super blend, etc.), and all the ingredients are displayed in front of you which makes the experience feel more fresh and modern. I ordered the Market Cobb salad and a 12 oz Dr. Roots fresh pressed juice. They definitely met my expectations! One thing that I think they could improve on is making their salads more unique. Their five salads - the Santa Fe, Kriti, Asian, Caesar, and Market Cobb - are all standard, generic recipes. I think if they added spices on their protein choices (or at least offered it) and included ingredients like roasted sweet corn, sun-dried tomatoes, and maple bacon (instead of or alongside the plain corn, grape tomatoes, and plain bacon), it would help them stand out from the other health-based restaurants in town. Overall, it was a great experience! I would definitely stop by again to grab a quick bite or to sit down and chat with friends over a healthy meal! read more

My coworkers and I frequently go here during the week for lunch. The options are good, but the flavors get tiring after half the sandwich. One of the only healthier options for lunch food in the downtown area. read more

Great salads and wraps! The dressing is what makes it. Fresh lettuce and ingredients- I have come back two days in a row, highly recommended! read more

Great quick and healthy lunch spot! They had the Santa Fe which is their take on a southwestern salad. Amazing dressings as well. I always build my own salad with the super blend and the Like Ranch dressing. Good to see another healthy spot in Milwaukee where you can get good food fast. Whether you want a smoothie, salad or wrap, you can't go wrong here! read more

Their house made salad dressings are to die for. I love watching them make my food right in front of me as well. The green power smoothie is excellent. Great atmosphere also. read more

Salads and wraps might be a good idea for a take out place, but not this place. Menu is limited, quality of the ingredients was very uneven (bacon and egg not good!) and it took a long time to get the wrap made, even with more than 6 employees behind the counter. The smoothie was okay, except that the guy who made it literally wiped his nose with his hand and then used that hand to put the top on my drink. Ugh. I removed the top with a napkin and used a straw on the open cup once I got to my car. All this - a small smoothie, a wrap, and a tip -- $24.00! You must be kidding. read more

Stopped in for lunch. I ordered a regular size build your own salad. It was still a very large portion. All of the ingredients were fresh and crisp. It was similar to subway in how they build it. They have several types of lettuce and greens. A good variety of toppings as well. I got broccoli, edamame, garbanzo beans, feta, chicken, quinoa, avocado and the peanut ginger dressing on top of the spring greens. It was a little over $11. read more

This is a super cool brunch/lunch spot! Friendly people and the chicken wrap was to die ! Recommend this to anyone looking for a healthy choice! Very clean! read more

Salads are huge and so reasonably priced! There is actually a salad place right across the street from my work, but I walk out of my way to Grass Root because it's so good. Eating healthy has never been easier read more

Delicious salads and great smoothies and juices. We had one of each and they were really fresh and tasty. Highly recommend if you are in the mood for something healthy and fairly inexpensive. read more

Love their salads! Great portion size & so good!! Seasoned tofu is my favorite. Haven't tried the juices yet but that's next on my list!

Amazing food/choices/atmosphere, great addition to downtown Milwaukee. Very friendly staff and clean environment!

The prices are reasonable, the service is quick and great, the menu doesn't have much, but it's still good food. I first tried this chain at Brookfield this square and had me hooked. read more

I visited Grassroots for the first time today and I absolutely love this place!! Employees were kind and helpful! I got the santa fe salad, so yummy! They do add a-lot of dressing so next time I will say to put on the side, but love this place and will be back so soon! read more

I ordered the Asian salad for lunch and it was delicious. All of the ingredients tasted very fresh. And the ambiance was really great, I truly enjoyed lunching to 50's rock and roll. :) read more

I was delighted to discover this just across from my lodging. Amazing - it's not listed in Google at all but this place was fantastic. I wish this was in Sedona - it would be a huge hit here. People in Sedona are looking for healthy fast food like this! read more

I used to love coming here when they first opened, however now the line is always so long. I will only go if I order ahead online. Salads usually taste good and I like the wide variety of toppings they offer, however I have gotten a salad with mixed greens a few times where the lettuce tasted like dirt. I now only order spinach or romaine when I go. Salads are also very expensive, a regular size salad with protein costs about $12/$13. read more

Love to see another salad place downtown! Salads have a great super blend of lettuce with kale that's delicious. Very fresh toppings, hand scooped avocado, cut fresh hard boiled eggs. It's a huge salad and full of flavor no matter what you choose. Highly recommended for a healthy quick lunch! read more

Such an awesome location. The food and juice options are quick and delicious! Cierra and Kari are pretty great too.

Came here on our lunch break and all of the employees were ready and so kind! The food is also healthy and amazing, definitely would recommend! read more

With a fresh assortment of lettuce and toppings, Grassroots has been a welcome healthy addition to the downtown area. 5 pre-conceived salads and wraps give you a place to start, but all are customizable and are a relatively generous portion size. I greatly appreciate the unique dressing options as well, with orange poppy seed topping my list of deliciousness. Don't forget to sign up for rewards to earn free salads! read more
