Designer Greens

Avocado wrap did not disappoint. Flavor was great. Just wish the avocado had been kept as sliced but no, they always crush it into a gooey mess. Tasted ok though but don’t like slimy avocado :-(
Their tomato bisque soup was pretty tasty,
I have eaten at this location and the UCF area one. This is small seating space– loud and crowded. No one wiped down the tables. A lady was breast feeding her baby at one of the center tables. Diaper bag on table probably left all kinds of germs from soiled diapers behind. No one cleaned the tables !

It’s always so difficult to find a restaurant that offers large portions of a healthy meal but Designer Greens succeeds at this. The salads are
Large, fresh and satisfying. If your looking for a healthy alternative that will fill you up, this is the place!

Very clean, fresh, open and very inviting. Love the bench seating and the wait was very minimal. Stay was very helpful and suggested according to our liking. First time my GF visited and she was blown away. The serving size was tremendous even for a half and half it was more than enough to feed 2 lol…

Skip Panera or Chipolte and give this place a try… healthy salads and sandwiches, fast and made in front of you! I’ve the Waldorf salad! Great selection and a pick 2 option. Disappointed you can’t get a half wrap with a pick 2 but oh well…

I love Designer Greens! It took me years to try it out, the menu selection is daunting! (as if that’s a problem!) I’ve been there several times now and have not been disappointed! I do wish they would provide earth friendly containers, my only complaint of many of my favorite restaurants, I dislike the styrofoam – that’s the only reason I withheld the star and feel bad for doing that! It’s really good!

Love this place! Everything is fresh, quickly made and delicious!

First time here and I’m so happy I came and tried it out! I’ve been looking for a healthy, non chain spot in Waterford lakes and I found it with Designer Greens! Their prices are pretty good, I ordered the pick two for $ 8.99 and got pita and hummus along with the Waldorf salad. The hummus was great, very fresh tasting! The Waldorf salad consisted of goat cheese (my obsession), grapes, apples, mixed greens, balsamic vinaigrette and candied sunflowers. For the price the salad was a great portion and plenty and more food for a lunch meal. Only thing I thought was a bit weird was the candies sunflower seeds, they were super sweet and tasted like a carnival in my mouth. Didn’t really go with the rest of the salad flavors. If it would’ve had regular sunflower seeds the salad would’ve been perfect. Great place though that I recommend and will be going back to !!

I see Designer Greens when I’m driving through Waterford Lakes and have ALWAYS been drawn to it because of the avocado in it’s sign (yall I’ll pay for attractive marketing), but never committed to my curiosity until today to check it out.
Hello– hidden gem alert!!! I’m always looking for non chain restaurants to support and this is a keeper! Let’s just talk about the variety in the menu, shall we??? There was not a single item listed that did not sound so delicious! They had a siracha melt, for pete’s sake, how does that it sound wonderfully appetizing to all my spicy sandwich lovers out there?! I chose to get their you pick two deal and got the Avocado (heck yes!) salad and pita and hummus. Their hummus is homemade and oh so yummy! Not too tangy, but perfectly savory and paired with the most balanced-​between-​crispy-​and– soft pita EVER!
The restaurant was clean and provided fairly good service. Not rude, by any means, but I wouldn’t say the friendliest. Hey, everybody has those days. I’m such a fan of this place, they’re a good rival to Panera and give you double the food for competitive prices!
Moral of the story: if there’s any avocado in the sign, it’s worth checking out. Only thing I’m sorry about is having waited this long!

I love DG! Are you looking for a salad that won’t leave you wanting more or hungry an hour later? This is your spot. So many combinations and fun ingrediants, you can’t want for more. There are tons of different pre-​designed options and you are free to make substitutions. One of my favorite things is you can make any of the salads into a wrap, it’s a nice little change on days you need a little carb with your green.
Go grab a table and try not to blush when they hand you a bowl as large as your head full of delicious salads.

It’s okay the people are okay nothing to rave about. I think you get alot but for the price its just okay

This is my go to place in Waterford. I am completely hooked on their summer salad which has strawberries, mandarin oranges, apples, candied sunflower seeds, Gorgonzola cheese, and honey poppyseed dressing. It is seriously amazing! The fruits and vegetables are always extremely fresh! I have never encountered a brown piece of lettuce and they cut up the fruit right in front of you.
You have the option of choosing a pre-​designed salad or making your own. The salads are HUGE! Their half size salads are the size of entrée salads you get anywhere else. They also offer panini sandwiches. I have tried the buffalo which is incredible and my fiancé is a fan of turkey pesto and the Ham and cheese. Their hummus is super yummy here too! If you’re looking for a cheap healthy meal, definitely come here!

Definitely a great option for anyone in the Waterford area. The salad portions are huge and cheap for what you get. There are large number of topping options to suite any taste. The sandwiches are delicious as well. Watch out if you go earlier in the day as sometimes the lettuce and toppings are not as fresh as they should be.

Great fast food style healthy options food place. They make it in front of you and have a nice portion size for their salads. Great place.

I’ve been twice and the salads are good. Definitely get the half portion because even that is huge! The first time I got the Avocado salad, which I’d get again but without the crispy onions and the tortilla soup.
The second time I went I got the trio with make your own salad, tortilla soup, and DGBLT sandwich. The salad was disappointing, especially since it didn’t have the chicken I ordered (and paid for) on it. I remembered the soup being better last time — with avocado and tortilla strips on top — but I didn’t get either this time and it tasted like it was straight out of a can. The sandwich was a joke. The «BLT» consisted of 1 slice of tomato, two inch-​long pieces of romaine lettuce, and 1 slice of bacon broken in 3 pieces. The flatbread was hard and it was slathered in mayo.
I would never order the soup or a sandwich again but I’ll give them another shot for their salads!

I’ve been here several times and have had almost every salad and all have been good. I haven’t had the chance to try a grilled sandwich but they look good and am planning on getting one soon.

Once again, I’ve been to the place a thousand times and have never reviewed it! I love that you can eat as healthy as you want! You can create your own salad and anything from avacado, chick peas, grapes, nuts, different cheeses, and options for meat proteins. Their hummus with warm pita… yummm! Their pita sandwiches are great as well especially right off the panini press.

I wish I hadn’t devoured my tomato bisque before I took a picture, but all it took was a sip and I was hooked. The Waldorf salad is awesome!

I don’t know why people were saying the staff was rude. I thought they were very polite and friendly. I went here with my fiancée and we both enjoyed the food we got. I got a panini and she got a half panini and half salad. It was a lot of food. I would go back.

Great for salads and sandwiches! This place is one of my staples. I’ve been visiting for years and it is always great! If you enjoy salads, designer greens has amazing choices, and you can even build you own with countless ingredients! I always bring friends here when they are in town. Highly recommend!

Have not been here in awhile, but went today. It’s nice to see that they haven’t slacked off at all on their food quality. Had the tuna melt with a cup of French onion soup. IT WAS GOOOOOD! Everything, especially their fruit, is so fresh tasting and everything is made to order. I also like the new daily specials they offer. Great place. I’m sure I will be back… eventually. :-)

Designer Greens is on my list of must-​visit places when I’m in Orlando. For me it’s 3 parts delicious and 1 part nostalgia. So many fabulous combinations of salads, sandwiches and the like in this laid back eatery! The suggested salads on the menu are quite delicious (the Mexicali is my favorite!) but you can also create whatever custom salad your heart desires.
I can’t quite give it 5-​star status. My only issue is that this place is pretty pricey for a quick-​service style resto (especially in Orlando). The salads themselves are a great size (a half size more than does the trick) and priced fairly, but it gets expensive when adding meat.
Come here for a quick and healthy (ish) lunch and you won’t be sorry! I can easily overlook the inflated prices when munching on some delicious veggies and reminiscing about «back when» here at Designer Greens.
