Salata is one of my favorite spots because you get a hearty amount of food, the ingredients are not…read moreonly healthy, they are fresh, and I never feel horrible for over indulging. This location is tucked away at the end of an outlet just outside Sam Houston Parkway. The interior is very clean, and there is plenty of seating inside and outside. The staff is generally friendly. They walk you through all the ingredients/sections to build your ideal salad or wrap. At this location the person operating the register always asks if I have reward points. I like this because I could easily forget to scan my member number. This person takes my phone number and lets me know my point balance which is also nice. Some tips: Don't be scared to ask for all the ingredients you want. You can even ask for extra scoops of dressing. There are nuts, seeds, and bacon near the soup... you can put this in your salad too. I get so many components I don't feel the need to add a protein. Instead I add egg and bacon as my protein, and it doesn't cost extra. Also, ask for pita chips or bread as you're checking out. These are also complimentary. I would consider downloading their app and joining their rewards program as you can earn $5 off your next meal. Also, on your birthday you are given a $12 credit to Salata. Cheers!!

The staff was welcoming and helpful throughout. I ordered the creamy chicken noodle soup with a half sandwich. The soup was really good and the portion was generous for the bowl size. I've now tried two sandwiches, the Zeus and the Patty Melt, and both were good choices. You can tell everything is made fresh to order. Definitely a spot I'd come back to again.

Betty's is a small place and they're located in small strip district, so they're easy to miss. Betty's dinner/lunch menu is very confusing though, you'd have to look up whatever dish it is or ask someone. That's challenging because the staff's English is very poor. They are friendly and attentive to their customers, that's what's most important. The prices are decent, and you can tell that every dish and sweets made here are fresh, from their kitchen. The sweet bread selection is vast, and they're cheap. Betty's Bakery and Kitchen is a nice place, but probably not recommended for little children or customers that have little patience.

But when I arrived I was pleasantly surprised how it's actually much more elevated that fast food The interior is nicely decorated, and has a southern watery vibe. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the food came out quick. A manager walked around asking how our dining experience was and even bused our plates For those that haven't been to a CSC, they specialize in chicken salad. There are several different chicken salads to choose from. There's classic, fruitier, more savory, spicier, and seasonal options. There's also sides you can choose from. If you're on the go you can quickly purchase a pre-made meal from a refrigerated section near checkout Some tips: Instead of a side you can get an extra scoop of chicken salad. If you're trying to avoid carbs you can just get the scoops with crackers. Also, if you're trying to join their rewards program you can get points for your order, and on your birthday you get a free meal Everything tasted great, and Im not even the biggest chicken salad fan. I really like the little iced cookie you get with your meal Cheers!!

There are many regulars that we see and speak to every week. That's how you know people like a place and feel welcome... they keep coming back. Crystal (the owner/manager) is kind and wonderful. She is on top of things and I've seen her do every job from computer work to straightening up to helping cook in the back. She seems to be the type of person who is willing to do whatever needs to be done. She also seems to have a great relationship with her staff and that's also very important. Manuel is very friendly and helpful. He's knowledgeable about their menu and always remembers what our friend likes to drink when she forgets what it's called. I love the openness and space. There's a couch and chairs in the back if you feel like lounging, plenty of tables in the front for eating, working, or just sitting at. There are games that people can play although sometimes children get ahold of them and pieces go missing. There is also a little kids play area which is golden when you have a toddler. I love that I can sit and have my food/coffee and also keep an eye on my little guy while he plays. It's a wonderful place to meet with people or to just take your kids when you need to sit down with a cup of coffee while they play. They have a good variety of drinks on top of the seasonal offerings. The food is good, and I kind of love that a lot of it is made in a waffle iron. It makes me want more waffle shaped food. The grilled cheese is made with sourdough bread and cooked in a waffle iron. It has these little crispy bits that are heavenly. One of my favorites is the sausage egg and cheese biscuit with a side of gravy. It's also prepared in a waffle maker and has those little crispy bits on the edges. So so good! So yourself a favor and give it a try.

I couldn't have asked for a better experience from such a kind, patient, and understanding human being. We need more people like Chris, the Manager at Panera on Fairmont in Pasadena.
