We stopped in here on our travels south and couldn't have made a better decision. What a nice little place this is with a super friendly staff. It was very clean and the staff were very helpful in helping us with our decisions on what to get. They let us sample several of the salad dressings until we decided what would be best on our salad choices. I got the Santorini salad as is then added Kalamata olives. I paired this with the Tuscan vinaigrette and it was perfect. I also had the White chicken chili and it was fantastic. My wife had the BLT salad with the sausage potato kale soup and she loved both. We discussed the concept of their serve line which I would compare to "Chipotle" style where you pick what you want to add. This would go over great in our community and I would like to know if they have franchise opportunities because we love it that much. read more

Tasty but seriously overpriced. They cater to the hamburger office workers that can afford an expensive lunch for little value. The lemonades are tasty but they claim local food while using the same restaurant suppliers as everyone else read more

First time trying vinaigrette..I have to start off by saying how amazing the customer service was! The gentleman helping me was super friendly, offered me a drink on the house. I tried the coco mixed with the basil lemonade. 10/10 drink selection, refreshing and light. Wide variety of in house made lemonade selections. I got the bluegrass blackberry salad. Portion was HUGE it could have easily fed 3 people. It was very good! I live out of state but will definitely be returning. Lots of options to mix in the salads and proteins also. They don't skimp on the veggies, and weigh out the greens. read more

Service was good. Salad was disappointing. Online picture showed a nice salad with good amount of toppings. Actual salad had maybe 1 strawberry diced up and crumbles of apple chips. Tons of spring mix and very little dressings. Most of my salad did not have any touch of dressing because it was so sparing. Paid $4 to add chicken and it looked and tasted just like frozen chicken you can buy from ready to microwave bags in the freezer section. Did not have any seasoning. Was excited to find a place that focuses on healthy salads just to be disappointed. read more

I am a huge fan of vinaigrette salad kitchen. We live close to the Paddock in Louisville and eat there consistently for lunch. The location at Palomar center in Lexington is very nice and larger than the locations in Louisville. The bluegrass blackberry salad is my favorite and this was another great one. The service was very good and the staff helpful and efficient. I brought this back to my hotel but there were several people eating in the restaurant when I left. Great healthy food. And their chocolate chip cookie is really good too. Love this place! read more

Always great and fresh. Wraps are delish. Clean and inviting. I wish there was one closer to where I live. I come every time I'm in town.

It might be unfair leaving a 5 star review only eating one menu item time and time again. But every time I'm in Lexington I come get this salad. I can't another one like it in Nashville and it drives me crazy. But now I know I'm a fan of chicken salad. This place just has this beautiful subtly sweet salad and I can't live without it. The salad builders are always kind and friendly. They get me in and out quickly. I really wish this was closer to home but I'm so glad I get the pleasure to visit often to get my fix read more

Vinaigrette Salad Kitchen - Bluegrass Blackberry - Salad Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

Yes! I've been eating lots of heavy and not-so-healthy foods since arriving in Lexington. So on the 5th day of our trip, I just really wanted a salad. Vinaigrette has been on my radar for years. Today was the day that we finally visited one of the locations. Two items on the menu are automatically vegan: one salad and one grain bowl. Meateater Hubby and I got them both! The Vegan Power Salad has quinoa, chickpeas, cucumber, tomatoes, red peppers, sunflower seeds, edamame, and a whole bunch of chopped greens. We got the lemon vinaigrette on the side and it also came with a handful of small pieces of bread. https://bit.ly/3lh8qmj The Pharaoh Bowl is romaine, farro, bulghur, cucumbers, tomatoes, kalamata olives, and chickpeas. It's usually topped with pita chips but since they were out, we topped it with plantains. This came with a super deliciously thick tahini dressing. https://bit.ly/392lWV2 I also enjoyed the Ginger Turmeric Lemonade! The guy on staff was super friendly and super helpful. Very welcoming, especially when we told him it was our first time at Vinaigrette. I would probably give this place 4 stars for the food alone but the great service bumped it up to 5 stars! read more

Wow what a great place! My family stopped here as we were passing through Lexington and are so pleased we did! Service was impeccable, food is stellar, and the lemonades are so fun! My kids were raving about everything. My ten year old said this is his favorite lunch place. We got the bluegrass blackberry salad and it was so good. The kids got the BLT and loved it too. My favorite lemonade was the carrot ginger because the blackberry salad was sweet and that lemonade wasn't as sweet as the others. The kids got mixtures of course. This place is not to miss! read more

Vinaigrette Salad Kitchen - Bluegrass Blackberry with chicken. I got mine with salmon. - Salad Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

First time here and my husband and I really enjoyed the BLT salad and ice teas and the servers did an excellent job (shout out for Kelsey who was particularly helpful in explaining the menu and yummy options). The table areas was well maintained but did what to note that the eating utensils were subpar clean so we opted for plastic forks ‍ All in all, nice to have a healthier option than burgers and fries - we'll be back when we're in the area for errands. read more

So fresh and tasty...will give a lil extra if you ask. The fountain special lemonades are yum yum yum!

Ok for a salad but expensive. Chose to use plastic fork because the utensils were out for all customers to touch and looked dirty.

This is food my food eats. I hate salads and salads hate me. (They lose a star just for being a salad restaurant)But if I am going to eat a salad, it might as well be the best salad in town. The soups are mediocre. I didn't find them to be very tasty. The best part is the different flavors of lemonade. Pumpkin spice lemonade and cucumber lemonade are my favorites. Seriously, I know they can't help that my tummy doesn't appreciate leafy greens, but that doesn't mean that I don't still get sad when all my friends want salad. read more

I'm always surprised when I find a great healthy food option when on a road trip, so I am excited to have found this Vinaigrette Salad Kitchen off I75 outside of Lexington on a recent journey. They have great salad combinations made fresh, which you can modify or you can build your own entirely. I had the Vegan Power which sounds very "healthy-woo-woo" but I love each one of the ingredients so that's what I got. It was excellent! Daughter made her own salad and got the Caesar dressing which was unexpectedly spicy (in a mustardy-kind of way, so she would have chosen a different dressing in her otherwise wonderful salad). Husband made his own salad and ate every bite. My server at this location was great. He helpfully explained the options available to me and was quick and efficient. Love that. And now I just discovered there is a location near my home so I won't have to wait for a road trip to get a delicious salad! 5 stars! read more

I was craving a big, delicious salad today and was super delighted to see that Vinaigrette was open to dine-in services. Several tables spaced apart were available (some some already occupied). When I approached the counter, the woman said something and gestured to her face. I assumed she was telling me to put a mask on. I responded that I am exempt under the governor's mandate and could not understand what she was saying to me. She continued to talk to me. I could not understand and asked her to please pull her mask down so I could understand (she was more than six feet away behind a glass partition). She shook her head and continued to talk to me and point at her face. I could not understand her. I mentioned this again and she continued to talk. Very frustrating! This has never happened to me anywhere else. I left and will not be back. [Review #4 of 2021.] read more

Sometimes when you are traveling, you just don't want anymore fast food and this place hit the spot. I got the Acapulco Caesar and it was very crisp and flavorful, with a nice little spicy bite to it. It was very clean here and the staff was mucho friendly. read more

Vinaigrette Salad Kitchen - Acapulco Caesar! Maybe there a couple of bites taken out of this before I tried to make it pretty again. - Salad Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

Looking for a healthy option for a delicious meal? Definitely check out Vinaigrette! I got the Chicken Taco Salad. The lettuce was fresh and crisp. The chicken was tasty, along with the black beans, tortilla strips, tomatoes, and cheese. It comes with an avocado sauce and chipotle dressing. Definitely, my favorite thing I've tried here. Tip: you can make any salad a wrap for no extra charge! I also tried the pumpkin bisque. Definitely recommend!! It was sweet and hearty with a bit of a kick to it. Vinaigrette is conveniently located near the Walmart off Winchester. There is a wonderful patio for seating, work, homework, or more during the warmer months. They also have a rewards card where you collect stickers to gain free soup, salad, drink, etc. read more

Went looking for good vegan options and this place had plenty. Enjoyed the Pharaoh Grain Bowl. Ordered as is. Not a heavy salad dressing person should have gotten it on the side and not mixed in. Overall it had lots of flavor and textures. Don't skip the pita but pass on the bread. Just what we needed on our roadtrip when healthy options are few and far between. Helpful friendly service, small seating area, clean bathrooms, will stop here again if we are in the area. read more

Feeling under the weather so I decided to DoorDash something extra healthy. I am so glad I did! This was my first time trying Vinaigrette Salad Kitchen. I have had my eye on it for a while I'm so sad I haven't tried it sooner. I ordered the Harvest Kale half salad and pumpkin bisque soup. I highly recommend! Delicious flavors and fresh ingredients. The honey balsamic dressing is to die for!! I could drink it ! The pumpkin bisque soup is warm and rich the perfect soup for cool weather and pairs perfectly with the kale salad! I will probably order again tomorrow and try something new! read more

Such a cute spot for lunch! I purchased the half soup and half salad, and the total came out to under $10. I ordered the Harvest Kale salad with no cheese, and was allowed to substitute for another topping (awesome!), and the Sausage, Kale, and Potato soup. Both tasted fresh and delicious! My only complaint is next time I will ask for the dressing on the side, as the salad was too heavily dressed for my taste. read more

If I were on death row I would ask for the bluegrass blackberry salad (with chicken) as my last meal. If you think that you don't like salads this will change your mind. read more

I love how fresh everything is here! If you're looking for a quick healthy lunch this is a great place! You can choose between a salad or a grain bowl. I decided to go with the chicken salad and added some roasted red peppers to it. Next time I'll probably go with a grain bowl as those are more filling but overall super friendly service and fresh ingredients! read more

I have to admit, considering I'm an avid meataholic, I wasn't expecting much from an establishment that specializes in salads, but this place is amazing! They offer both signature salads and build your own. I ordered a signature salad: large Maki Shrimp salad that has chopped superfood and spring mix, shrimp, avocado, cucumber, red pepper, edamame, pickled ginger and a very nice spicy sriracha aioli dressing. Oh my goodness was it good and there was so much, I took most of it home to enjoy for dinner. We arrived at lunch time and the place was packed - a good indicator of a great restaurant. They have a beautiful patio on the side with trees, shrubbery, and umbrellas, which we enjoyed on this gorgeous late Spring day. Locally owned and fresh seasonal locally sourced ingredients. ALL soups, dressings and lemonades are prepared in house. Over 25% of their purchasing directly benefits Kentucky farmers. There are so many different varieties of salads and I've yet to try their soup of the day, that I'm sure to become a regular here. read more

Alright, I had my reservations about eating here. I've heard mixed reviews, but I'm trying to eat semi-healthy today and my sister is vegan so we settled on Vinaigrette Salad Kitchen. This is a post-COVID review so things are different I'm assuming. In this location masks are required and there is a occupation max of 22 patrons. Luckily we had masks and there wasn't 22 people, so we walked right in. There's signage on the floor to encourage social distancing, there are separate exit/entry points, and every other table is off limits. They have a nice patio available for seating as well. Ordering was simple and stress free. I had the Harvest Kale Salad and a drink. Holy crap-- best salad I've had in a hot minute. It was crunchy, sweet, filling... all the things. I for sure will be visiting this restaurant again! read more

They have the Best salads and lemonade. My go to is the bluegrass blackberry with chicken. Great combination of fresh ingredients.

I've been here a few times and have had a pleasant experience each time. The latest visit I got the Bibim Bowl with Shrimp. This was something I normally wouldn't have ordered, but the Yelp Elite event allowed me to try something out of my food zone. It was tasty, definitely lots of flavors with so many pieces that go into making it. I will warn it has a decent kick to it, but that could be just me because I'm a wimp when it comes to spice. The girl who made my bowl was very sweet and nice to talk to, she was very helpful. read more

I've ate here almost every day for close to two years and have never gotten tired of it. I love the way you can change ingredients or dressings on any of the salads. My favorite has always been the Santorini salad with avocado, I love the pita chips! read more

Another new placed I am happy to try and share my experience about! Since I am dieting, I figured a salad place was a good place to try. The staff here was super friendly and Informative. No rush as I studied the menu. I chose the maki shrimp because it had the lowest calories in their nutrition menu. Be warned, it definitely has a spicy kick. It's so good though! The dressing reminds me of yum yum sauce. All the ingredients taste really fresh, the restaurant was clean and service was friendly and quick. I also got a free drink as a first time customer! I enjoyed my lunch out on patio in the beautiful weather. The full size salad was $14 which I could not afford daily, but on a special occasion. I could probably get the half/light size next time since it was so filling. read more

Food and service from 2/3 workers working was perfect! Environment was good until the person who referred to herself as the "closing manager" started yelling at one of her employees who was trying to perform closing tasks. Overall great food! But makes me not want to go back. read more

LOVE. As I was getting ready to write this review I tried to think of at least one form of constructive criticism but I've got....nothin'! I've been to the location downtown (which is awesome as well) and just recently went to this new location. I LOVE their salad selections and the sizes of their salads. You can even do a "build your own" if you don't care for the options (which, let's be real you'll love their options). Also, their lemonades are fantastic. I usually am solely a water drinker when I go out but this is one place where I'll spend a little extra on the yummy lemonade. This time they had pina colada lemonade, mango lemonade, strawberry lemonade, and just regular lemonade. They've also had cucumber (which is my FAVORITE) and lavender. All in all, Vinaigrette is awesome! The atmosphere is cute and clean, food is healthy and delish, and prices are right on! You must go!!! ....NOW! Go! read more

Great salad spot in Lexington. I loved the Kentucky Proud ingredients. Every thing is fresh and the salads are very filling. Good dairy free and gluten free options to choose from. If I lived closer, I would come here often. read more

Wide choice of salads also built your own and add anything. Outside seating was great. Very clean outside area. Service was fast.

So time to be honest. I have never ordered a salad anywhere! I feel that ordering a salad is a waste of money when I can simply do it at home as a side item. But man has this place change my perception. I had the chance to discover this place through a Yelp event and now I can't stop craving it lol. I love spicy food and never did I image a grain bowl as satisfying but their new "Heart & Seoul Grain Bowl" is out of this world awesome. I can't seem to have enough of their gochujang dressing. I had to come back the next day to have it again. Also I love their concept of filling meals that support the local community. It's a little on a pricier side of $10 per meal but the quality backs that up. Lastly don't leave this place without having a popsicle. They currently have a Dulce de Leche and it's soooooo good. So go! read more

This is my first time ordering here after an underwhelming experience at another location. This experience was much better. I was greeted upon entering and the young lady behind the counter patiently waited for me to browse the menu. I went with the Acapulco Caesar salad and it was an excellent choice. The young lady put on fresh gloves and began to prepare my salad. When she was finished she showed it to me and asked me if it looked ok. I told her it looked great, then she put the lid on, bagged it and walked me to the counter. I asked for extra dressing and she gave me another container with no hesitation. I really enjoyed my salad alot. It wasn't your typical Caesar salad. In addition to the usual romaine, mozzarella & croutons, it also included red onions and grape tomatoes. The icing on the cake was the chipotle lime caesar dressing. It was unlike any other caesar dressing I've ever had. It had just a little kick that took the salad to another level. I got my salad to go, but I'd like to try dining in next time. It was stormy this evening, but I did notice that they had an outdoor dining area. Eventually I'd like to try all of the salads they offer. I think next up, I'll go for the chicken salad. Vinaigrette gained a new fan today. 100% pleased with this experience. read more

I hate how hit or miss this place is. First of all PRICE. I walked in yesterday and got the same thing I got today and it was $2 dollars cheaper yesterday than it was today. Then the actual food. I got the same exact thing and today it tasted nothing like it tasted yesterday. I asked for cucumbers and the person making my salad actually tried to put 3 cucumbers spread out in the salad.. I was like "um can I have some more please?" Not sure if they're trying to save ingredients or what but 3 cucumbers?!? The salad was tossed in the olive oil and lemon mix and yet was so dry (again from them trying to sparingly put it on the salad) I hate wasting food and taking stuff back so I just ate as much as I could but definitely won't be visiting for a while. read more

I love this place at any location! Great local food at a respectable price. Pictured is the heart and Seoul bowl, but I really don't think you can go wrong. I have tried a lot of their soups and salads and have never been disappointed. Their fresh lemonades are amazing and super fun since they are seasonal! If you need a healthy splurge, Vinaigrette is definitely worth your time! read more

My mom and I come here almost every week for lunch. The service is incredibly hit or miss. One day there will be 2 staff for every customer and another day there will be 2-3 employees. This has resulted in long lines or in and out in 20 minutes. All in all, this place is the chipotle of salad restaurants. The quality is slightly below great and the amount of toppings/additions to choose from is decently expansive. If you're looking for a healthy, quick lunch spot that won't completely break, you'll be hard pressed to find a better option. read more
