    Teal piece of plastic

    Stopped by for a quick and easy lunch and just found a teal piece of plastic in my salad .

    I am still on my long mission of trying all restaurant chains that are not in NYC. Well the service in here is great and everyone is friendly. I got the harvest salad I don't quite remember but it was good it also comes with a warm roll which was okay nothing special. The prices are pretty decent and the atmosphere was nice. The restaurant has modern aesthetics. Cute little restaurant.

    Doesn't look like much when you walk or drive by, but when I finally visited I was impressed by the setup inside and the food. This is your typical salad bar, but they have a variety of prearranged combos or you can of course create your own. I find the salad and toppings to be fresh and I like the dressing. It's even better when a coupon arrives in the mail for use in the store. Prices are average as far as salad bars go, so $10-15 is what you'll spend. But if course the somewhat "healthier" options tend to run on the higher side of course. There are limited sides available as well as a variety of drink options. There's also plenty of seating inside and parking is no problem.

    After an appointment, I decided to stop in Saladworks to grab a quick salad for lunch. Although they do have many options for toppings and things of that sort, I just wasn't really moved by the selection and options. It is located in the Rose Commons shopping center on Gilead Road. So there are tons of establishments such as Harris Teeter supermarket, CVS, Atrium Urgent Care and many other restaurants and stores. This location can get pretty busy at times, but it is a super convenient location to grab and go. I will definitely give it a go again so that I can try another option.

    The establishment was very clean and inviting. I ordered an Avocado Cobb Salad. It was very tasty. I omitted the blue cheese and tomatoes, but I replaced them with purple onions and another type of cheese, I forget. The service was okay, but the employee fixing my food could have been a little nicer. Overall, good salad. I dined in and it was not crowded.

    Went here with a vegetarian colleague for a business lunch. Prompt service, quality, delicious food, and a great environment. Would certainly visit again.

    Excited to have a good salad place a little closer to home! I downloaded the app, where you get a free entree during your first visit. There was a bit of a wait when I arrived, but I would assume that's due to A) good lunch crowd and B) potential staffing shortages. I do think it was well worth the wait! I went with a pick two - half chicken Caesar salad, half chipotle chicken bacon panini. Both were equally dominant. Even for being a "half", the salad was a healthy portion. I'm not a hard-boiled egg fan, so I will leave that off next time, but all in all delicious. Same with the panini. Chicken, bacon, and avocado, although I thought the chicken was a bit "skimpy". Still, not complaints. Will definitely be going back and recommending to anyone in the area.

    First time customer and very disappointed. My half turkey bacon sandwich was bread lettuce and dressing. There was one tiny piece of bacon and I believe the "turkey" was a couple pieces of chicken torn off a tender. Had I ordered in house I would have sent it back but it was an online order that they had 45 minutes to prepare. Accompanying greek salad was just ok, light on feta. Definitely not a $13 lunch! The picture below shows the sandwich in it's entirety. Look closely for meat...

    Experience may be way better if you dine in, however, I ordered out. The item was the Asian Crispy chicken salad and I received 2 maybe 2 1/2 little balls of chicken. The rest were the fried breading crumbs that they put in this salad. Very disappointed so never again.

    Half salad. I shook the container to mix the dressing.

    My boyfriend & I really love our salads. So our expectations are set pretty high. $10.49 for a full salad. $10.49 for you pick 2. My boyfriend got a full salad and had to ask for more greens. The portion of greens and protein are not worth $10. Salads at Panera bread are much better value for the price. I ordered you pick 2. Buffalo panini and I upgraded to a medium soup for $1. So I paid $11.49 total for mine. NOT WORTH IT. The panini would have been eaten in just 3 bites. I had to return it and instead, got a half salad. I just didn't see the half panini being worth the price. Especially when I know I can head over to Panera and their half-sized paninis are much larger. Anyways, the manager or owner told me to keep the soup and get whatever I wanted. I just went with a salad. He told his employee to make it a half salad. First of all, he should've made it a full salad for not being satisfied and realizing that what I ordered was not worth $11.49. He also tried to tell me I paid $9.49 for my purchase. I guess he didn't realize the menu says $10.49, my upgrade soup was $1 extra. Anyways, even the half salad was pitiful. The bowl design looks nifty, but it's just another way to shaft us. The owner/manager did come outside to see if everything was good. I just said yes because I really don't like complaining and didn't want to have to deal with another issue. I just wanted to eat my lunch and leave. However, I wasn't satisfied. I told my boyfriend we really have to stop checking out salad places. For some reason, the portions are just pitiful for the price. And the quality of ingredients are poor. It's not just this place. I don't like to support large corporations, but I think they will be my go-to for salads and sandwiches.

    Front of the restaurant - located next to Harris Teeter. EXCELLENT location!

    I have been a major fan of Saladworks since my very first taste at the food court in the Echelon Mall in Voorhees, NJ when I was a preteen. I moved to Charlotte over nine years ago and have always said how there's never any good salad options down here and that I wanted to finish my degree and open a franchise of SW here in the CLT. Lo and behold, I was not the only person who felt our region was severely lacking in the dining options and brought Saladworks here! Visited today with my daughter, my mother, and my sister. Restaurant is new, very clean and warm and inviting. The staff was great too! Everyone was so super friendly. I got to talk with the owner and was able to thank him for bringing this amazing restaurant here! I ordered one of my favorites - the Sophie's salad. Spring mix base, grilled chicken, dried cranberries, bleu cheese, honey roasted pecans, and apple slices. One time, at a SW in Jersey, the server recommended I mix raspberry vinaigrette and the sesame dressings together on this salad and ever since then that is the only way to eat this salad. Best part is their create your own salad too. You can select from multiple bases, and over 60+ fresh toppings. Salad serving sizes are large as well! Any salad you can also get as a wrap!! And don't forget a nice warm roll to go with your delicious salad (or wrap)! Location is great too! Right off highway 77 at exit 23 for Gilead Road. It is practically right next to Harris Teeter. I haven't written a review on yelp in a long time but I felt it was 100000000% necessary to review my new daily lunch spot - Saladworks! tl;dr Excellent and FRESH food, reasonably priced, super friendly staff, great location.

    Excellent food! The staff was really friendly. I had to wait a little today, but the line was long and there were a bunch of take out orders lined up. Now I know why they are busy! I did a salad and broccoli cheddar soup and both were great. Make sure you get the roll!

    I really enjoyed my dinner here. The place was very busy and we made reservations as recommended…read more We had excellent service by Amanda who took care of everything as it was a birthday dinner. The nachos and dips were excellent. The salsa was tasty and the appetizer also came with a side of fresh guacamole and pimento cheese. The filet mignon was top-notch & cooked to perfection. I got the grouper special with a side of lemon butter sauce and crab. Absolutely delicious. The place is modern with a cool vibe. The only thing that took away from the experience was that it was very loud & noisy - the restaurant was packed and they had music playing on top of that so it was a bit much. There were a lot of servers helping with water refills and being very attentive. The customer service was excellent. Amanda brought out a brownie with ice cream with a candle on top when the birthday boy was outside taking a phone call, so she left her lighter so I could light the candle when he came back. It was these small touches that really made the evening special along with the fantastic food.

    This visit, I ordered the filet mignon with a side of demi-glace, and it was the perfect pairing…read morewith the steak and potatoes. The filet had a fantastic crust and was cooked well. I personally would have liked it to be a little more red inside, but it was still tender and flavorful. I highly recommend adding the demi-glace! I also ordered the off-the-menu Garden Lemon Drop, and it's an absolute must-have for me every visit. It's refreshing, delicious, and one of my favorite cocktails anywhere. My mom ordered the salmon, and she said it was fresh, light, and very filling. 131 continues to be my go-to steakhouse. The food is consistently delicious, the drinks are excellent, and it's a place I always recommend for a great steak dinner.
