Great Salads are the end product.., Nuff said!

I'm always on the hunt for somewhere healthy to eat for lunch, and although I have been to Giardino a couple of times , I can't believe I had not yet reviewed this location. Their salads are amazing and 100% fresh, Don't expect to pay 5$ for quality . Their salads run for about 8$ + 2$ if u want to add protein, My personal favorite is the fizz, I always get the Piccolo size , which is the smallest and more than enough to leave you stuffed. They are known for Thor sourdough croutons, I personally always get he garlic croutons because I don't like sweet croutons. The staff is super friendly , the facility is clean, Pro: they have delivery during the weekday

I used to love Giardino's... Then the quality of their protein started to diminish, and with that went my loyalty to this place. If you go to Publix and buy a pack of Oscar Mayers "chicken" for $2, then you pretty much have the same quality chicken that Giardino's is now serving - rubbery, stale, and not premium grade. I give them three stars for appearing clean (we never really know what's back there in the food industry). They have a ton of toppings and vegan options, and that's a plus. The staff is usually friendly and engaging. Their croutons are by far the beat croutons I've ever had, and their veggie chips are addicting. However, if I'm paying $10-$12 for a salad, I expect my protein to be up to that standard.

I can't believe that I haven't updated this review yet! After being a Stubborn Sally and refusing to return here for months due to the discontinuation of my previous favorite salads (which still are the best I've ever had IMHO) my coworkers finally convinced me to give this place another go. Boy, am I glad I did!!! The renewed love affair with Giardino started with a Greek Village. MMMmmmMMM, the feta, pita chip croutons and olive vinaigrette hooked me right quick! I eventually ventured in to other salads and have found quite a few that satisfy my ruffage and chlorophyll craving while adding an interesting and eclectic mix of toppings, croutons and dressings to keep it interesting. The latest obsession...is the rice paper wraps. Yum-my!
(5)David O.
Love this place. I'm a wrap guy and I've had the Parisian salad wrap and a veggie with tofu wrap. Both knocked my socks off. Parking is a little tough at lunch but worth it.
(5)Patricia G.
Let me start off by saying that I originally came here for the salads but I keep coming back because of the awesome staff, they are all well trained and very attentive. My Favorite salad has got to be the salad of the month for September "August Fresh" obsessed with all the different ingredients such as beets, mushrooms, mandarins and candied pecans, and awesome flavor this salad has to offer. Fresh ingredients and perfect portions make this a perfect spot for a healthy lunch or dinner. Cant wait to go back and try something new!

This is one of the few places you can attempt to eat healthy in Kendall. I like the new addition to their menu..."the grain bowls", however the portions are significantly small for the price of these grain bowls, after counting the add-ons. The salads menu is pretty extensive, but I didn't find any combination to satisfy my pickiness. I decided to make it "my way" I love Arugula... Oh no! They ran out of arugula! Ok, fine... I settle for spinach... Mmm... Nope. they ran out of spinach as well. Ooohhhkkkk....? I guess I'll have the old boring mixed greens...:/ to then realize when I got home that they actually gave me romaine!!!!!! In my opinion, The most flavorless type of lettuce you can possibly eat. I know every small business has a bad day... And when the person in charge of ingredients purchasing at giardino's has a bad day.... He forgets to order arugula, spinach and mixed greens... And when you forget to order arugula, spinach and mixed greens... An unsatisfied customer decides to write a bad review on yelp about it... And when an unsatisfied customer writes a bad review for your business on yelp... Other people might not go to your business. And when people don't go to your business... You might not need to purchase any arugula or spinach or mixed greens at all. And when that happens... You won't like it. So... Salad place, DON'T forget to order The Greens! Helloooooo...? It's the main ingredient in your establishment.
(2)Freddy S.
Great service wonderful stuff awesome soups and salad. Definitely will be back and will recommend.
(5)Jason D.
Not worth the $$. Who makes a salad and charges by the topping? You get 3 toppings and everything else is 1$ extra. I wound up walking out paying 13$ for a medium salad. God forbid I wanted extra dressing!!! No wonder the place is always empty. The person making my salad gave me a crooked look when I asked him to put on a new set of gloves after he just mixed a salad with tuna. I won't be going back, because of the price and the poor customer service.
(2)Dustin H.
My first visit to the Kendall location, very clean and welcoming. The staff was helpful and attentive. The toffee pecans were incredible!
(5)Ratchel D.
I love this salad place! I have been coming here for a few years now (used to go to the one all the way in Doral, thats how much I love it). I usually order the Thai Thai with a scoop of tuna. There really is something for everyone one in their menu. Do know that everything is healthy, if you are looking for a hearty meal, this is not the place. Their wraps are also great! I would give it 5 stars but holding on to that last one as they no longer serve the apple juice I love, they change out the garbage even while you are sitting right next to it (they should wait for the people sitting at that table near by to leave), and they removed the free tap water, forcing one to purchase a sugary drink or overpriced water. I still enjoy coming here, and will continue to do so (I will choose seating far away from garbage, just in case). Note: They have a rewards system in which you get money back after purchasing a certain amount. Money is to be used towards next purchase. This is a great incentive for us regulars.
(4)George L.
Top of the line for what it is: very very tasty fast food made with super-fresh ingredients. The few things I've had here are outstanding: chicken Caesar wrap, Thai wrap, tuna salad (which you can buy by the pound and take home to make your own great sandwiches all week), mango cheesecake, etc. Again, it's all about the freshness of the ingredients, that's what you're paying extra for compared to joints like Subway and other local places that don't invest in top-notch meats, breads, etc. (I noticed a couple other reviewers say the chicken was bad; that's a shame they had a bad experience, but it really surprised me because I had the exact opposite reaction -- I'm picky about chicken, and most other take-out places I've been to serve low-grade stuff, so it was a relief to find a reliable place like this). The employees are nice and skilled at what they do, and the add-on options are plentiful, which are nice bonuses. But honestly I would keep coming here regularly for the Caesar wrap even if the cashier spit at me and talked smack about my mother -- it's really that good. And the tuna is almost as good as what you'll find at a great deli like Roasters Toasters.
(5)Estefania R.
Stopped by after finding on yelp healthy place for my brother visiting from Cali, met the new owners and was happy to stop by after talking to them. The salads are beautiful work of art and taste amazing. stop by and check them out! Soups and rice bowls too here. Something for everyone!
(5)Estefania S.
I absolutely love this place! + friendly staff + quick service + wonderful food + simple to read menu + option to make your own salad + additional salads that made fresh daily - a bit pricey - delivery is a mission
(5)Elizabeth R.
CRISPY FRESH greens and tantalizing toppings. Convenient location. Speedy service. Fair prices. That's why I keep coming back. Fav salad is the Parisienne. Has creamy rich brie cheese with crunchy tart green apple. They always seem to get the dressing ratio just right and they truly toss it so there's no globs and no naked greens. Despite high volume, the store is generally neat. Chairs are not comfy and tables are small, but it's ok for quick lunch. The "piccolo" sized salad is just the right portion imo. One prob: no recycle bin for glass bottles.
(4)Clara A.
I was saving my original punch card that had 10 punches till I absolutly needed to (no $) and please note it had NO EXPIRATION DATE and when presented to the server I was told they no longer accepted it! I reminded them the card had no expiration but got a "I'm sorry"! There was one customer in there. Customer retention is apparently not important.
(1)Mike R.
Incredible salad selection and wonderful staff! I recommend the gourmet chef salad. The veggie chips make an incredible side as well.
(5)Nathalia D.
I used to be a very loyal Giardinos customer. However, one bad experience kind of ruined it for me. I found a piece of unidentifiable food in my Caesar salad, and the chicken was really bad quality, not the chicken they used to have. I went about 2 months without having it, when I used to have it every day. I went back today to see if it was just a bad day for the store, but it's the same chicken I had that one day. I'm kind of disappointed with the change in chicken quality, because it keeps me from going back there like I used to. On the positive side, the man that helped us there was really friendly and gave us good suggestions when we were a bit indecisive! Hope they get the old chicken back
(3)Valerie R.
Best place to eat near my campus, food is fresh, yummy and healthy, the location is nice and the service is great :) Lee is awesome and makes my wraps delicious and exactly the way I want them. All you have to know is that it's great food, great food, great people. :)
(5)Gaby B.
I wish I could have this restaurant in my house, or on call 24/7 for free. It would be so easy to eat healthy all the time. They make the best salads and wraps, I would never get bored. Their dressings are amazing. Service is always quick and very polite. They have on the wall a menu with about 20 different salads, but if you don't like any of them you can always make your own. Any salad can be turned into a wrap, and now they have bowls with rice/quinoa and chicken etc. Usually there are about two soups of the day, they also sell veggie chips, chocolate covered almonds and some sweets. I love this place and will continue to eat here, it just is pricey.
(4)Ericka G.
Best salads EVER!!!!! Anything you order is delish...even the veggie chips...try everything. I personally love the mama mia salad with curry chicken!!! I order the medium size salad so as long as you dont mind paying a little over $10 for something delish and nutrish this is your best bet!!!!!
(4)Kameko E.
I really liked my quinoa bowl. Quite delicious :-) my boyfriend thought his Greek salad was just ok. Angelica was really helpful and nice. Although a little expensive I look forward to going there again.
(4)Paula R.
Where do I start.....after being a costumer for more than 3 years, today's visit was very disappointing. It all started with the girl who attempted to help me....First of all her shirt was completely wrinkled...extremely poor personal presentation (maybe the new owners didn't tell he that she represents their brand)...continue with my salad......she had no clue how to cut open the avocado (which amazed me)..... she put the wrong ingredients after repeatingng myself 3 times. Elizabeth saw the frustation on my face and came to the rescue. The previous owner was always there making sure everything run smoothly and serving people herself. This was my last time going there....maybe they should have taken some pointers from the previous owner.
(1)Bennet M.
First timer so I just got the cobb salad with tropical chicken. It was yummy! They have a variety of salads to choose from and interesting toppings. I'm not a fruit on my salad type of person but some of their choices did look so good. Next time I am going to go for that habanero salad.
(4)Daniel R.
Im not a vegetarian and lord knows i loves meat but came with my boo to eat try something different... The Good: - The food tastes really good - The ability to customize anything in your orders - The quality of the food, which is super fresh - The environment is decent - Customer service was good, very friendly - Very healthy - Offer different small amounts of meats The Bad: - Can be a little a pricey - The menu can be a little bit over whelming and somewhat confusing, they could simplify it by separating salads and wraps. - They do charge extra for almost just about anything that deviates from the menu. The food tasted great so I give the Food great ratings.
(4)Miranda E.
This place has great food, but delivery takes forever! It took them about an hour and a half for them to deliver two wraps to me. Mind you, I live less than 3 miles away from the restaurant. They charge $4 to deliver and the chocolate covered almonds that I ordered came completely melted. I love the food here but I will never call for delivery again.
(2)Jeff G.
The food is good but a little overpriced. Service is great unless you get helped by the male Mexican assistant manager. Apparently he was told he's the CEO of a Fortune 500 company and doesn't need to be bothered by the customers that pay his salary. If he walks up to help you you might as well walk away. If he gets to you and hasn't rolled his eyes 3 times before you order your food your off to a great start. I felt like I was bothering him the whole time I was there. It's not the first nor the second time he's given me attitude. Great food great place but this assistant manager needs to be working in some corporate office somewhere where he doesn't need to talk or interact with customers
(2)Sofia T.
This place is pretty good. They have lots of options and the staff is really nice and helpful. It was a little expensive for the size of the salad that was actually mostly lettuce. There was barely any meat that I had paid extra for and small pieces of the cheese that comes with it. Overall it was a good experience but I don't think I will rush back
(3)Emily G.
Been here a bunch of times, however today's visit will probably be my last. I paid $10 and barely got any chicken or any of my other toppings. I went to take my first bite and the spring mix had gone bad and was all wilted and slimy. I was instantly put off and had no desire to finish my remaining salad. I'm so disappointed! If I hadn't already driven to work I would have made them give me a refund.
(2)Jeffrey F.
Nothing special here. The salads are fresh, but overpriced. Everything extra cost additional. If you are in a pinch and I stop it'll do. Not highly recommended.
(2)Karen G.
I'm a fan of Giardinos salads. I always go to the one in Blue Lagoon and Coral Gables and the service and salads are amazing! However, I've been to the kendall location many times and it's consistently bad. The service and professionalism lacks big time. They also hardly give you toppings and it feels like you're only eating lettuce for over $10 a salad. The food also isn't fresh and the workers never seem to want to be there or help the customers out. If you try the other locations you will be hooked on eating salads!
(2)B G.
This is not my favorite giardino's. They always seem to find a way to add more onto the price of my already expensive salad. I always feel slighted. 10+ for a medium sized salad is not a great value to me. Ehhhhh I stop by here every now and then but never feel satisfied. *shrugs*
(3)Michelle Z.
$9 for a bowl of not so fresh romaine lettuce, 4 pieces of tofu, 10 garbanzo beans, and a piece of avocado the size of a dime. Lesson learned: Save my money and make my own salad at home.
(1)Ivette R.
I like Giardino's it's good but my only complaint is that can they just serve more stuff because all they serve is salad but the salads are good I would come back
(4)Clarissa R.
Addicted to these salads!!! Recently went in and had such great service from this young lady. Wish I would've gotten her name. My ONLY complaint is that the romaine lettuce is not very good, but everything else was awesome!
(5)Alejandra A.
Love Love Love this place...If I had one around the corner I think I would eat here every day! Ingredients are fresh, everything is made to order, and the menu has a good variety of healthy salads. It is clean, they deliver, and the portions are just right. You can add or take off items, and everything is made right in front of you. It is a little pricey but as foodies we all know that thehealthier the more it will cost. Def worth it though.
(5)Virginia M.
After begging my boyfriends for months to try one of the Giardino Gourmet Salad locations he finally budged. He is so NOT a salad person- whatsoever and the fact he liked this place enough to come back says a whole lot. He ordered the Habanera while I ordered the Baja. He thinks his was a better choice (I don't care what he thinks as long as he eats vegetables!) but I like mine better so try both?! The Habanera was definitely flavorful and the fact that they put plantain chips well what's not to love?! The Baja satisfies your Mexican craving without all the fat and carbs of going to a Mexican restaurant so I love that! The service was great and the women were patient with us while we browsed the whole menu to figure out our choices. I look forward to coming back! They deliver and if you want to take-out or order for a party/celebration, there's that too.
(5)Andy D.
For a salad place, it's gourmet and casual upscale salads. I was very impressed with the service, and there unique way of creating your salad. At first it was confusing, but quickly you'll get the hang of it. It's salad and protein, it's that simple. The salads are good sized, and come in three different sizes. Oh, and by the way the bread is excellent.
(4)Abel r.
Just picked up a salad for my wife for dinner. this was a WOW experience from the moment I walked in. Great ted as I opened the door by staff. The hospitality, food quality cleanliness of restaurant was incredible and consistent as always. Thought I was in Disney World. Check it out, you wont regret it.
(5)DrVilain S.
I love how healthy this place is! Everything from their greens, to add ons are always served and made fresh so it's always so tasty. They have a wide variety of dressings, so I never get bored. I LOVE their caramelized pecans!!! They're the best!! Although it is a little pricy, it's so worth it!
(5)Ari S.
I would really like a salad delivered right now, to bad this location claims to deliver but, doesn't really pick up the phone. I also used them once for catering and they were unapologetically 45 minutes late delivering. Called to speak to the manager..... I'm still waiting to heat back.
(1)Haronyd M.
I first learned of Giardino at the carnaval on the mile a few years ago. I became a pretty loyal customer to their Gables location, and when I had to move further south to be close to work, I was happy to know I'd have one nearby. I love the mama mia salad and the habanero. It's a great place to go, grab a salad, and feel like I've done something good for my body.
(4)Andrea F.
I love Giardino's and I come here all the time. For $8.00 you get a good sized salad with a scoop of protein that will fill you up without filling you out. I have a friend who doesn't like salads, if you are like her don't come here. The menu consists of salads served in a bowl or as a wrap. They have some sweets and sides but really that's about it. I've tried almost every salad on the menu and have liked them all. My favorites include the Napa, Big Apple, Ody's Toss, and Caprese The reason I don't give 5 stars to one of my favorite places is due to the romaine lettuce. Romaine is supposed to be green and leafy. Way too often the romaine is mostly white/yellow with very few green leafs. They need to do a better job of sorting the greens, especially considering it is the base to almost everything they serve. The white chunks in the salads suck and I'm always picking them out and setting them on the side. Sometimes it is as much as 1/2 the salad!! I've attached a photo as an example. If they can switch produce vendors to get real nice leafy greens this will be a 5 star joint.
(4)Eileen P.
Omg this place love the salads the wraps are amazing very healthy you can't go wrong but the have this guava cheesecake wow must try even though it will break your diet but so worth it
(5)Brittany B.
Upon entrance, I immediately realized that the feel was very similar to a Subway-type restaurant where you order at a counter and watch them assemble your creation before your eyes. I enjoy these types of quick-paced eating joints due to the fact that I can watch my meal as it is put together. There was a large sign hanging up with the different signature salad combinations and what each of them contained. The woman behind the counter was very helpful in pointing out that the salads circled in white were their most popular selections. There was also an easy-to-follow guideline of how to "create your own salad" (CYOS) and which options and toppings you could choose from. The standard CYOS came with your choice of lettuce, four of the toppings ($.65 per extra topping), dressing, and croutons with the option of adding a protein (chicken, turkey, tofu, or shrimp) for $1.00. Overall, my experience at Giardino was very enjoyable and I would definitely visit again. I enjoyed the multitude of salad options and toppings, as well as the fact that they had shrimp as a protein option!) The only thing I would change about my experience would be the containers that the salads were served in-- I wish they were larger and easier to eat out of!
(4)Gaby S.
I love eating here :) the staff is great and the salads/soups are always fresh & excellent! I suggest the homecooking salad if your someone who likes sweet salads. I take out the green beans and put extra cranberries! There isnt alot of seating but its a great place to go for lunch if your trying to eat on the healthy side.
(4)Jackie S.
Anyone who knows me or has read one my reviews, can tell you that a restaurant serving primarily salad is not my idea of good eats. So believe me when I tell you that Giardino has to die for salads!!! A seriously mouth watering variety of creative salads that can also be made into wraps but best of all....they don't skimp on the gourmet ingredients! Five Starts Giardino...you have won this carnivores heart!!!!
(5)Ana Cristina P.
This is a moment where I need half stars again. I'd like to give it a 2.5, but I can't imagine giving it a 2 because the bottom line remains that Giardino makes a mean salad (no matter the location). I was glad to find out there was one in my neck of the woods, and have actually been here a few times, but this location can't get their act together. Every time I've gone, no matter what salad I order, they're always missing an ingredient. ...and the service is sllloooowwww. It takes a couple of the employees here about 15 minutes to throw some stuff in a bowl and mix it with their hands. How is that possible? Still, Giardino's salads ARE A-OK. Three stars it shall remain.
(3)Diana L.
This location opened up only a couple of months ago, and I'm so excited! Kendall was lacking a good healthy restaurant. They have all types of salads the portions are big and the price is reasonable. Apparently the word has spread, it tends to get busy during lunch time. I had the Mama Mia salads as recommended by one of the employees.
(5)Claudia J.
Finally a place of SALADS!!!! I did not know this place was so close to my neighborhood, once I saw the salad sign on the door I decided to check it out! It's a small place, but very busy, all tables were taken. There is a lot to digest on the menu before ordering a salad, that one becomes a bit of a confusion since the choices are endless!! The most ordered salads are the Caprese in the Mix, Thai Thai, Greek Village, Mama Mia and My Way. Finally decided to order My Way, of course as the name says it for itself, my way of salad. They have a wide range of toppings, extras, greens, cheeses, nuts, proteins (I had the turkey curry that was yummy it had some white raisins that kicked the curry flavor on the meat), dressings... ooohhh dressings they have a wide range of it. All ingredients are fresh, no can flavored vegetables. Service was excellent, ALL STAFF was super super friendly, fast service and best of all the salad was great! Did I mention 99% of the customers were women!!! funny fact!
(4)Giovanna C.
Best salads in town! I love going here for lunch even though it gets really, REALLY packed at times. I usually either have the Country Cobb, Mamma Mia or the Thai Thai. Depends what I'm in the mood for, but usually it's the Country Cobb :) Pretty pricey but you get $8 worth of salad. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because a lot of the time when I mention I was light dressing, it still gets doused in dressing. Other than that, this is one of my favorite lunch time spots!
(4)Ana G.
I love this place, it is always clean and the staff is very friendly. The salads are yummie, I've yet to try something I do not like. I am addicted to the Ambrosia it is so refreshing, I am not sure if is entirely healthy, I have a feeling that it has condense milk, I don't want to ask, It is best to not know :0). Try it one day, you won't be disappointed.
(4)Zina A.
after going to another Giardino i am not impressed by this one. EVERY time that i go they dont have certain ingredients or dressings! the staff is not as friendly but the salads do keep their quality when they have all the ingredients to make a salad. i sometimes go here because its closer to home but i rather go to a different Giardino if i have a chance.
(2)Orby M.
Let me start by saying that the only reason I rated this place with 4 stars is because it's a bit pricey. With that being said, you'll still find me going there as often as I can because their soups, salads & wraps are to die for! Now I know what some of you may think, but that's not food or that's not filling ...Let's just say my bf thought the same thing & he's even gone back on his own since he tried his first wrap! The salads in this place come in very generous portions, with anything you want on them & believe me you will not be disappointed =) My favorite: Country Cobb salad with Onions & Classic Balsamic Vinaigrette His favorite: Chicken Caesar Wrap
(4)Claudia O.
My favorite place to eat in Kendall! Everything is always crisp and fresh and there are so many options of toppings and dressings that it's impossible to ever get bored with the food. My favorite lately is the Indian. Ody's Toss and Thai-Thai are also delicious. The other fantastic thing about this location (never been to any of the others) is the staff. They are unfailingly polite, nice and PATIENT - sometimes it takes me a minute to narrow down all the options when getting a "My Way"! Even when they're slammed with customers, they all stay upbeat and friendly. There's one girl who's always there when I go, I'm guessing she's the manager ... I always forget to get her name, but she is especially sweet and really good at recommending combos.
(5)Indy O.
Love this place!!! Salads are AMAZING! They make their own dressings. Try the Habanero salad with scoop of tropical chicken. they have other protein choices as well as some sweets. The water paper is also great if you wanna to switch it up. This place always leaves me satisfied.
(5)Christina C.
Well, sadly I've decided to give this place two stars after coming since this location opened in 2008. I remembered when they opened because I was thrilled that there was finally a healthy salad place nearby my house. It all started off great. I would go maybe 3-4 a week! Lately the quality and quantity has decreased. These past couple times I've been, I have been extremely disappointed. I've ordered wraps & by the time I've gotten home (I live around the corner) to my extreme disappointment, the wrap is completely falling apart. I can't even pick it up to eat it because it'll fall apart. They aren't packed well, but folded like a kindergarten project. Salads are great, but they have become so stingy on the toppings. If you ask for tomatoes, they give you like four pieces cut up. The chicken has become super salty. Not to long ago, to my surprise I found two bobby pins in my salad. I actually took a bite & spit it out because something poked my gums. Overall, its sad because I was such a FREQUENT customer. Idea is great, dressings are great, recipes are fantastic, but they were fine just how they were when they started.
(2)Vanessa G.
I created my own "My Way" Wrap today and it was amazing!! All the ingredients tasted so fresh and crisp... I can't wait to go back.
(5)Michelle Z.
This particular location is going to get 4 stars because the salads here are awesome! My first time going in, they even recommended me NOT to get the scoop of tropical chicken salad -( my favorite-you can eat it alone with the pita or blue corn tortilla chips and tell everyone its still healthy cause its not junk food..) because they were almost out of it , but theyd have a fresh batch the next day. I had the crab st. louis instead and was pleasantly surprised. has a nice little kick to it, but not too bad. I did go back the next day for my order of tropical chicken on top of the southwester salad-so so GOOOD. I have tried to duplicate this salad on my own and have massively failed-one day I shall decipher their tropical chicken goodness! I visited the location in Doral and the service did not even compare! sticking to my Kendall roots and heading there when I want a delicious ( and always filling) meal.
(4)Jennifer V.
Pre-Giardinos, I always wondered why there wasn't a great salad bar-esque eatery in Miami. Now, I'm glad there are several nearby in Coral Gables, South Miami and Kendall. Although guests can dine in there are few tables and chairs so I usually take out. I feel healthy every time I eat here. The ingredients are fresh and options are plentiful. I always need to add a scoop of meat though because I wouldn't feel quite full without it. The Parisian is my preferred salad, with a few minor changes. I switch out the brie for parmesan and garlic cloves for another veggie I'm in the mood for. I love the champagne dressing! That's a huge pro -- you can order your salad just the way you want it.
(3)Diana H.
Let me tell you, I hate salads. I'm just not a salad eater, but the salads here are really gourmet. The greens are super fresh, the dressings are tasty, and they always serve a very generous amount of protein. Sure, it's pricey, but their ingredients are pricey themselves. This is a great replacement meal for greasy fast food quick fix.
(5)Bacalao B.
Great salads....good dressings...but I will NEVER go back again. Cheapest place in Miami....they give you a little dressing and if you ask for more they charge you....you get four toppings if you choose avocado, the servings are split up into 1/8's of one avocado....what is an 1/8 of an avocado?! Same goes for cheese etc....so cheap...there are much better places in the area.....if you do go, do not order from Sabrina (girl with dreadlocks) she's the cheapest of them all.

A little expensive, but I love their frequent buyer cards! The produce is very fresh and their salad dressings are yummy :)

If you love salads, you will adore this little gem. The sky is the limit in salad variations. On top of the extensive menu you can concoct your own creation or tweak the menu's selections. My only advice is to say "go easy on the dressing" because you can always get a little extra on the side. Very informal, limited seating but great for take out on your way home.

I go to Giardino's at least twice a week, I am totally addicted. Everything is so fresh and the staff is very friendly. My favorite is the Tropical Salad with Tropical Chicken, Mmmmm delish!!! Other salads i've tried their are the Country Cobb or Classic Spinach, you can also make your own. Another great thing is that any salad can be made into a wrap so it gives me variety since I like going there so often. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. :-)

Cute salad bar where they greet you with a hello :) as soon as you enter. I love the varied, almost worldy, menu but usually end up ordering the Mama Mia, it's my favorite. You also have the option of creating you own salad. Hubby loves the Habana with tropical chicken. I can order over the phone for pickup too which is a great timesaver. All the salad ingredients are fresh, the place is kept clean, and it's a great place to have a healthy meal. There's always parking which is a plus, it's in the shopping center where Spec's used to be if you're old school like me ;)

It is a great place. There is one in the Doral and the Gables.

I don't think I will ever find a better salad place than this. Anytime I try some other place (like "Salad Creations") I find myself saying, "this is okay, but it's no Giardino's..." I've had love affairs with several of the salads, I usually obsess over one until I get tired of it and start on a new one, but I always revisit past favorites. Parisian with salmon is probably my all time favorite, but I do also love the mamma mia, ody's toss, big apple, and the vegan. I give it 4 stars however because sometimes they are a bit slow.
