Smiler’s Gourmet Salad And Deli

The bad reviews are only because their food is priced by WEIGHT, so it can get expensive, but it’s worth it – let me tell you why.
Food? 5 stars
Service? 4.5 stars
Price? 3 Stars
The food here is SO fresh and absolutely delicious. You would never think so just by looking at it from the outside! Looks like your regular drug store or crappy café — but it’s a hidden gem (but obviously not too hidden because it can get pretty packed at peak dining hours).
They have so many options — everything you could want! Salmon, chicken, several pastas, green beans & broccoli, fresh salads, mozzarella w/​tomatoes, really good fruit, yogurt, etc. This buffet has all the necessities of a well-​balanced meal.
The people that work here are also pretty nice. They helped me when I was confused about where the plates were and where the upstairs seating was — quickly answered my questions with a smile.
The price is the only thing weighing this place down. $ 10.99 per pound of food and you would think that is a pretty good deal — but those ounces rack up fast! So it can get pretty pricey, especially if you get heavy items like meat, mashed potatoes, etc.
Definitely will come back, though! Don’t be deceived my the low rating — trust me, this place is well worth your money (if you’re smart about it).

While the place gets crowded, I think its only because of the area (it’s all 9 – 5 businesses). The buffet selections are decent, but WAY overpriced. A lunch main course and side salad will cost you $ 22. Really?! The staff is friendly and the protein juices are great, but c’mon!

This place was a godsend after wandering the streets starving. I’m surprised by these reviews because the place was packed, super popular. There were a ton of healthy options. Salads were great! Some of the hot foods I tried were deathly salty though. Roasted potatoes, I’m looking at you. In all there’s a wide selection, food is quick, and there’s plenty of seating upstairs so it was a great find for lunch. Pricey at 10.99/lb. That’s the price you pay for convenience

Close by work and there are a lot of options. I come here for breakfast once in a while and the line for hot breakfast is usually really long because it takes the worker forever to make the food. I ordered a platter with turkey bacon, home fries, and eggs over medium last time and it took about 10 minutes to get my order. Really? The turkey bacon and home fries were already pre-​made in the food bar. so all they had to do was make the egg. Foods from the food bar gets weighted afterward to distinguish how much you’re going to pay. I will never understand what takes them so long to make an order, but it’s pretty good. Although it’s just a long wait, it’s convenient (right across the street).
They also have a salad bar. My coworker went to get ONLY veggies for lunch last time and he said it cost him $ 11 for just broccoli and eggplants. I was mind blown. Guess the broccoli and eggplants were really heavy.

Yup. Rating seems right.
EXTREMELY overpriced.
I go there when i dont want to walk too far from work (right next to my work).
I like their donuts which they get from somewhere else i believe.
I would not recommend unless you are in emergency and need a space to eat right there and them. There is seating upstairs.
The whole upstairs is just seating, and i guess to maintain their rent price they have no choice but to charge so much for things.

Good buffet selection. But very slow to take and make sandwich orders. Selections look somewhat original (e.g. Korean BBQ sandwich) but they have lost my order and taken more than 20 minutes on two occasions.
