Salad Creations

I have eaten here a couple times. I find the set ups of these places in terms of ordering becomes confusing to some of the employees because you are repeating your order of what you want to 2 – 3 different people and something always gets lost/​mixed up in translation. Anyway, There is a good selection of choices to make your own salad including the dressings, which I like. I did, however, notice they do not carry shredded mozzarella. weird. I would love to see this place add it to the menu of items. The last time I was here we ordered a soft drink and chose to have the unsweetened iced tea. As I was pouring it, it smelled kind of «funky» but I did think much of it until after I started drinking it I opened the lid and the the iced tea was absolutely rancid smelling. I did not know this was possible, but leads me to believe the container it not cleaned out and changed regularly– I could be wrong but it could probably lead to a health code violation. Aside from that situation, I do enjoy this place and the employees are pleasant.

After deciding to give this place a try, I felt like punching myself in the head. As a first timer, it took me an extra minute or two to go through the menu to know what I was really in the mood for and this is where the experience started going downhill. The snobby young woman behind the glass was rushing me to make my order as I was asking questions. Trying to figure out if i wanted to ‘create your own’ or add chicken to a Greek salad, I was receiving a death stare and felt very uncomfortable. Asking what items where included in a Greek, she started naming all the toppings so quickly that I had no idea what she said besides olives, feta, and chicken. So, I chose the Greek salad and noticed she skipped over the beets (which is always included in any restaurant I’ve been too) and mentioned to add a couple slices. The young snobby woman said that will be an extra $.69 — I’m thinking WTH is going on here? So I added the beets and watched her chop my salad. I asked for a cup of water to go with my meal and she tried to sell me on adding a side because I could get any large beverage that I wanted (I stuck with the water). After diving into this tasteless salad, my appetite was ruined and so was my mood. I took another bite to get something in my stomach and threw it all away. After being so frustrated and hungry, I just decided to go through the Taco Bell drive Thru and ordered myself a couple Cheesy Gordita Crunches and called it a day.

I want these all over the place! They have all kinds of greens/​lettuce that they keep in special crisping bins AND they serve the former Hudson’s salad– my favorite!

I have always eaten healthy and salad creations blends in all my requirements exquisitely. The young lady named Krista who took care of me made me feel very welcomed and had a very bubbly personality and was very helpful. The service and food was very good, I will definitely be back. Salad creations has made a lifelong customer of me.

I think I must have either gotten the wrong salad or had the wrong person take my order because nothing about my experience this afternoon was like what the other reviewers had to say. It was an all around terrible experience.
I came around 12:30pm on a Monday. The line was almost to the door and there were about 10 people ahead of me. I took this as a sign that the food was good so I didn’t mind waiting. I have never been here before and when it was my turn I felt rushed by the girl with a major attitude waiting on me. It was difficult to look over the menu ahead of time with where the board is located and the crowd of people in line. So I just picked something and ended up ordering the balsamic, mandarin and blue salad, no pecans, with chicken. It was very loud inside and I wasn’t sure the girl heard the no pecans part (I have a serious nut allergy) so I repeated myself just to make sure. Her response was a very snarky «yeah you already said that.» How about no problem or I’d be happy to make sure to exclude the nuts. She was just rude!
Oh well, I’m over it. Until I sit down to eat and my salad is totally gross. Half the lettuce is wilted and it is literally drenched in dressing. I could have made 3 salads with the amount of dressing she used. The chicken was slimy and I couldn’t even eat it. I had about 6 bites and threw it in the trash. I won’t be back here again.

Ate there few months ago with my friend. Large portion. Kind of pricey but very good salads! Fresh and nice flavor on marinades of meat too.

what can I say a chopped salad made to order is fantastic. It’s also a HUGE salad! Great for the value and I was full for the rest of the evening!
The only thing you have to know is that it is really loud in there because of the chopping going on. So be warned.

I wish they delivered! Best salad ever! The toppings are great! I love the strawberry and goat cheese salad, or you can just create your own from all their delicious ingredients and varieties of lettuce!

Tonight was my first time going here. It will not be my last. Staff was friendly. My salad was delish.

A little expensive. Salad options/​toppings are great — but they chop your salad instead of just giving it a toss, therefore, if you do not eat it right away, it quickly becomes soupy because the chopping causes all the moisture to release.

I honestly wish I had one closer. What a great place for a quick, healthy lunch! You can choose up to two kinds of greens; whuch include spring mix, spinach, romaine, and iceberg (I think). You can choose as many veggie and bean toppings as you would like. The cheese, meat, and some special toppings are limited to one chpice per salad but you can add more for an additiobal charge. There are a number of house recipes to choose from.
I chose spring mix and spinach with chicken and various veggies. Everything was fresh and crisp and the salad creator was polite answering my questoons and was very informative. I had never tried hearts of
was great and did indeed taste like artichoke hearts. Delicious.

They really go the extra mile to explain their menu. The customer service is exceptional. We will come back!

My new favorite place! I love that they have a lot of creations to choose from or you can make your own salad. Some of the creations are so good and I would have never thought of them.
Being pescatarian I choose salmon a lot instead of chicken and every time I have come here the salmon and all the topping are all fresh.
Staff is always friendly and helpful
Only reason I’m giving it a 4 is because it is a little pricey.

I did a custom salad, and I have to say… It was pretty damn good.
The woman that took my order was super friendly and professional and most importantly she was quick.
Portions are generous and worth the price.
I had jalapeño Ranch dressing. It was good

Salads are okay. I think they are too expensize and would rather make my own. Last time I had hard boiled egg on my salad, it smelled so bad and was mushy and slimey. Yuck.

Endless options for a healthy meal! The staff is incredibly helpful, professional, and efficient. You get what you pay for with a generous portion size. If you come frequently you can choose different options every time from creating your own to the many pre-​made salads they have as well as panini’s and soups. Such a healthy option for fast-​food. I highly recommend Salad Creations!

Looking for a healthy fast food alternative? Go here. Huge menu of salads, and of course you can create your own with endless choices of vegetables, dressings, etc.
Very friendly staff. If you haven’t been here before they are willing to introduce you to the concept & engage in conversation with you. They’ll let you sample dressings.
Great portion of salad for a great price.

OMG! Great, fresh food! I have the Traverse City Cherry salad wrap with chicken. Gigantic wrap, and so good!

I wish I had time to make my own salad everyday. Since I don’t, I am very thankful for Salad Creations. For as little as $ 6.99, I get a super fresh, chopped to perfection salad. There are many types such as the chicken cobb, spicy vegetable and thai chicken to chose or you can make your own. The employees are very nice, quick and efficient. Last week I was here 3 times and this week is looking at a similar pattern. Its next to a great hamburger joint. Every time I come to Salad Creations, I give myself a pat on the back for making the right healthy choice.

I got a bunch of lettuce with a few toppings added. I got the smaller Greek. It didn’t have onions, mild bell peppers or beets and I couldn’t add more without paying more. The artichoke hearts was not necessary. There was not much in there besides lettuce. A very expensive pile of shredded lettuce. I could have bought lettuce at Meijer and eat it straight up.
I went around town feeling super tired and grumpy for no reason. I later figured out that it was a protein crash from the lack of protein. Not much feta an I almost forgot that there was chicken in it, just a few shreds. Go somewhere else or make your own salad.
The customer service was good thought.
