Delicious salads that are so worth your money. Huge portions. SUPER customizable. They have a bunch of selections to chose from or you can make your own. The greens itself taste fresh and crisp. The meat doesnt taste stale or old. Appreciate their large range of dressing choices, my favorite being fat free raspberry vinaigrette and the fat free ranch. Highly recommend if youre in the commerce area looking for some lunch. They also cater! read more

A wonderful lunch spot in Commerce. Highly recommend the "beauty salad." $15 and packed full of delicious vegetables, chicken, avocado, beans--everything--and I got it with the cilantro lime sauce and it was so fresh and filling. Honestly you can probably eat it for two meals (I split it with my husband) and then we bought another one on our way out for dinner tonight. The man behind the counter who served us was so nice and friendly. Also this place is in a food court is super clean and has lots of tables inside and outside for seating. Bathroom is also super clean. Definitely check it out for a place to eat with friends or co workers or to pick up a meal read more

The Garden Spot - 23. Beauty Salad - American Near Me - Commerce, California

Best Salads! My favorite is the Chicken Healthy Protein Salad with the Spicy Cilantro Dressing

I've driven past this food court before not knowing much. I have been craving a salad and found this spot on yelp and decided to go since it's so close to my office. I will be frequenting here! $13 for a large Beauty salad without onions or raisins. I got my dressing on the side but they will toss it as well. This thing is HUGE! It's long to at least last me through tomorrow! Super hearty and delicious! I barely Ate half! They have wraps, soup and sandwiches as well. Service, quality and price; I have no complaints! read more

Salads are delicious, fresh, and very affordable! Staff are super friendly. Will definitely be back when I'm in the area!

OMG! 1st time. This was one of the biggest salads we've seen and loved. We ate all of it! I totally forgot to take pictures. We were starving. They have a large variety to choose from. We ordered the #13/Spinach salad with chicken. Not only was the salad great, the baked potato was fantastic! Another item with variety. We had the BBQ chicken. It's huge! Oh BTW, they also have a good clam chowder. We'll definitely take that drive from LB to go again read more

The food and service here is phenomenal! Salads are fresh and crisp with so much variety! There's so many salad chocies to choose from, you can either choose from their 20 salad menu or create your own salad. Whatever your choice maybe, there's a variety of dressings and toppings that will definitely compliment your salad. Overall, I was beyond pleased and impressed with the staff's customer service and grace! read more

Amazing salad for the price! I came during the lunch hour rush and this place was the second busiest, which is always a good sign. I asked for a recommendation, and they told me the beauty salad was the most popular. I placed my order, and it was ready within 2-3 minutes. There are plenty of indoor and outdoor seats. The salad includes a pre-set ingredient list except for your choice of dressing. I asked for thousand island, and they seem to have at least 5 difference choices. My salad was a great combination of sweet and salty. The ingredients from what I can remember were lettuce, broccoli, sunflower seeds, red onion, celery, tomatoes, cucumber, chick peas, kidney beans, and raisins. At least 3-4 items on that list are on my dislike list. However, they melded together to create a symphony of flavors and textures. The raisins gave a burst of sweetness that complimented the acidity of the dressing and tomatoes. The chick peas and beans gave a much needed creaminess after crunching down on the broccoli, red onion, celery, and cucumber. The ingredient list is long, but they come together so perfectly. The salad was delicious and left me not feeling heavy, even though the portions were huge. I will be coming back to try the other 30 salads they offer. read more

For 9.75, you get a salad with plenty of toppings. Fresh and tasty. They also offer a free pita bread. I tried the California Salad, plenty of chicken and the combination of fruit, was actually delicious. Service is friendly and fast. I would come back and I would reccomend as well. read more

Extremely fast, fresh ingredients, tossed to order, big portions, reasonably priced... what more can you ask for? I think I ordered and had my food in my hands in like 30 seconds. Solid working lunch option. PS: the spicy cilantro dressing everyone on Yelp mentions is actually pretty spicy, but it's tasty. read more

If you want a tasty salad and you are in the area this is the place to go. Select your salad from a full menu of salads and it's prepared right in front of you. Easy. read more

Love the salad very tasty and good amount for a good price. Great customer service. There is no waiting time and they prepare your salad very quick . You can add or remove anything you want read more

The Garden Spot - Caesar salad with chicken - American Near Me - Commerce, California

The service is horrible and they are rude! My coworkers and I ordered lunch over the phone they said 20 minutes. We arrived in 10, made a long line and when we get to the front they tell us the order is not ready so they have us step aside. They helped the rest of the customers about 8-10 people and still the orders weren't ready. One of us cancelled our order they didn't apologize on the contrary they tried to argue the 20 minutes. DONT PREORDER!!! For being a fast food place in a busy industrial area, they could have thought of a better solution! read more

Soooooooo delicious. I come here at least once a week and it's worth it every time. I usually get the build your own salad w Turkey but the other day I wanted Tuna and just as I suspected, absolutely scrumptious! read more

LOVE THIS spot.. The dressing is my favorite SPICY or non spicy CILANTRO (delish). An the tortilla soup is amazing. They have large portions and it's healthy.. Can't go wrong! Just something different then the normal fast food spots. read more

Great salad! Great pricing. I tried the Chicken Tortilla Salad with the spicy chipotle dressing and it was tasty. Got some pita bread and made something like a taco salad with it. I'll visit again. read more

Not terrible? It's alright I guess. I usually order the beauty salad and it always come thru. They hook you up too with the greens. read more

I always came to this spot when I'm looking for a healthy, fresh, and fast salad. Ingredients selection is wide, as well as menu options. Even when the food court is full, this spot is pretty fast, and clean. Highly recommended! read more

Would not recommend. My Caesar salad was not like a Caesar salad. It did not have Romain lettuce and they added egg. I've never had a Cesar salad with egg. Staff not friendly read more

Customers Services Issue. "False Advertising" They don't have all vegetables that's on the picture. If you ask for a substitute for the veggie that they don't have on the picture they'll charge you EXTRA. Not ok! That's not the Customers issue have all ingredients on the picture. It's a $12 salad read more

Today I got the #16 salad- shrimp and advocado. Sounds good huh? Well, I've had better salads at low budget burger stands! The salad came in a large plastic container- lettuce, celery, a few pieces of tomato, dried out slices of carrot, sliced advocado and tiny cheap pre-cooked (previously frozen ) shrimp. I opted for the cilantro lime dressing which was pretty good and it came with pita bread. When I first started eating I thought it was pretty good. But my taste buds became bored. What about some cheese, croutons, onion, bell pepper and most importantly REAL SHRIMP! I thought it would come with large fresh shrimp (btw, a coworker picked up my lunch so I didn't see it being made ). So I don't think I'll be coming back here. I was really disappointed and left really hungry. read more

This place has very bad customer service the servers there are very rude they have no patience they don't listen well and when then one of their employees got so upset with me because I didn't want so much onions in my salad that I didn't ask for tells me not to come back there anymore please don't go to this place. The previous owners were much hospitable and nicer to their customers. read more

Im changing my review to TWO STARS because they're money hungry and now very selfish. They always have one greedy rude person there. I usually order the pasta salad and gone are the days where the salad was super big now it's only moderately big which means they are just being selfish, on top of that there are no substitutions and I always put beets in my salad and I was just told that if I wanted beets I would have to give them another $0.75. This after it's already and $8 solid?! No way! That's the last straw for me and why I'm writing this review. I've had problems the last few times I've gone in. They're trying to charge me higher prices for a salad I've had for years! They just have no shame. Plus I found a hair in my salad once! Someone please let them know how selfish and cheap and miserably greedy they are. Maybe they'll change. read more

There are really not too many healthy places to eat in the surrounding area. So it was great to see a salad place not too far from my work. Each salad is about $8 but the portions are very large. The lines can get long but they are very quick. I usually get the caesar salad with an extra side of dressing. The ranch dressing is not that great but the caesar dressing and the raspberry vinegar are very good. read more

Oh man this is totally a vegan joint. I just paid 8 bucks for a ham and cheese sandwich and the meat was rotten. Everyone must be just eating the pasta. That ham had a stank on it and slime. I took one bite and had to spit it out. They were really nice and offered to make me another but I said NO THANK YOU. Pasta salad on the side was good. I ate that first. Like I said this place is good if you don't eat the meat. People were really nice too. read more

I looooove this place!!! The Spicy cilantro dressing -to die for!! Everything is always fresh An the portions are huge . An you still get a pita bread on the side. The tortilla soup I think it was -AMAZING! If you haven't tried this spot you gotta make a pit stop n try it out. I go here at least 2x a week.. read more

Love going to this place for salads, sandwiches and baked potatoes. For salads you get a big serving enough for two. Only opens M-F and located 5 min away from my job which makes it very convenient. Serving is fast so you're not waiting a long time read more

Love this place, the potatoes are great and the salads are always fresh. I come here regularly. Great spot for salads

Been dying to find a reliable healthy food spot for lunch for a while now and finally found it. Great salad choices, extremely friendly staff and service. Been coming here almost everyday for a few weeks now, thank you!! Almost forgot to mention, their Spicy Lime Cilantro dressing is AWESOME read more

I'm really into sanitation and clean food and the fact that they don't wear hair nets or hats is gross

I love the large variety of fresh salads The Garden Spot has to offer. I have tries several varities already and really liked them all. The salds are HUGE and are easily enough to be eaten as an entree (and maybe even shared). read more

I don't usually have high hopes for a food court salad restaurant in the middle of Vernon but the Garden Spot is decent enough. Huge salads (mostly consisting of lettuce) for about $8 a pop. They have a lot of choices as to the ingredients and the dressing but you won't get anything too fancy here. Nothing you can't make at home but for those lazy days this place will do. read more

I absolutely love this place. The salads are big enough to share but they are so good you might not want to. They have great customer service and try to get the orders out quickly. I like to call ahead so by the time I get there my salad is ready. I get the chicken protein salad with cilantro lime dressing. Or the chicken cesar salad. Yummy!! read more

HUGE salads! I mean 2 people could easily split a salad. My fave is Protein salad with chicken. They are a little pricey but then again the are huge. There is always a long line of people waiting to order but staff is quick to serve. You also get wheat pita bread. OH! They also have baked potatoes and other goodies. Great eats! read more

This place is great, Specially when you like to enjoy healthy eating. All the salads are made fresh and delicious. I did notice that even when they are super busy with a lone line I am able to get thru it quick with great service . I will be back. Thanks read more

0 stars yelp would let me. Beware, they don't wash their produce well. I got my spinach salad and it looked delicious. Took a bite and spit it out cause something tasted disgusting. It was a beetle. Almost threw up. I took it back to them and the lady told me that it's organic so there could be bugs in it. You still have to wash the produce! Ugh. So gross read more

I give this place 3 stars because it helps with my diet. There is an asian lady there that sometimes gets my order wrong and charges for EVERYTHING including an extra side of the watered down salad dressing (yes...watered down. The dressing used to stick to the lettuce, but now drains right to the bottom. I can tell it is getting more and more watery; I am on to you!). And there is this weird particle dusting all over all of my salad and lettuce. When this place used to be at the Citadel, it never had any of that and I always order the same thing. I wish this place was still at the Citadel...so sad I now have to deal with this one. And please, please, please check your lettuce before serving. I understand that you probably mix the old with the new - but after many instances of getting that fermented, old, slimy piece of lettuce near my mouth I spent a huge amount of time picking through every salad and eventually I couldn't stand the need to and quit going. Lastly, parking is a hassle. the lot fills up during lunch hours so it is hard to find a spot during that time. read more

Eureka! This place is exactly what I've been longing to find! Where can I get a salad that doesn't have gross freezer bite on its leafy greens like subway and can satisfy every tastebud? This spot gets it right, they have the basic foundations needed for a perfect salad everything is fresh down to the dressings made in house. Need I mention toppings galore? They have more choices than the bunny ranch! How can you go wrong? I'm almost regretting this review as it'll generate more customers and longer wait lines. read more

I love this place! Huge selection of great salads, sandwiches and baked potatoes. Staff is always super friendly and fast. The owner always remembers what I want to drink. Don't forget to add some fruit at the counter. Always fresh and so sweet! read more

This place is located inside the Commerce Food Plaza, better known as the "Food Court". They make fresh "gourmet" salads, baked potatoes and wraps. You can choose from about 28 different gourmet salads from their menu or you can have one made to order with all the toppings and fixings you like. All salads come with pita bread and your choice of dressing. I think the prices are decent and the service was good. I ordered the pineapple chicken salad. Pretty tasty. My only complaint is the chicken. I personally don't like frozen chicken strips in my salad. Next time I'll order sans the chicken. read more
