Salata

Fresh selection of leaves, toppings, and meat/​seafood scoops. Great for late night meals. Clean and crisp sitting atmosphere.

I am a fan of Salata… In ADDISON. When I saw them building this one, I was excited. It was another close option for me if I wanted a fresh, delicious salsa or wrap. Sadly, my experience at this location was sub par.
First off, Upon walking up, the salad itself looked like it was sitting all day. It look dried out. As I made my way down the line, the toppings, as well, looked unappealing. (Surprised!)
Second, the service was slow. The gentlemen making my salad kept putting in the wrong ingredients! WTH? When I was going through the line telling him what I wanted, it was almost like he was confused.
Third, when he went to mix all my ingredient together, he did two flips and that was it. At the other location they mix that baby good. I asked him to mix it better and he flipped the ingredients ONCE more. A line formed and I didn’t want to hold things up.
When I got home and opened the salad container, it was nothing but dried salad. And seriously, didn’t taste like the normal Salata salads I usually get and expect! Maybe I just came on an off night. But this «off night» turned me and my husband off completely… We will be making our way to the Addison location here on out to make sure we get what we pay for.

Not going to lie I was hesitant to come here after my experience at other salatas but this one is so different!!! The people here are much nicer and seem happy, they aren’t so crazy stingy with portions, and it’s clean.
I was an avid snappy customer, until they had such rude and unhappy workers — the turn around has been weekly, the portions have gotten smaller, and they are more expensive for the same thing.
This salata has changed me– I’ll be coming here before snappys any time, even if the construction adds a couple minutes drive.

Not crazy about this place. $ 8 plus tax for salad, that’s a bit too much. Get some warm food instead.

Yes, it’s like Chipotle for salad.
I read several reviews and absolutely agree that the way Salata works is that it runs as a order as you go service line. You walk in select the type of Entrée you want which is either a Small Salad, A Regular Size Salad, or a Salad wrap. From there you select, your greens, then your toppings, then your dressing, and lastly your protein. They charge extra for any type of meat or fish and there are extra charges for certain toppings like avocados or artichoke hearts. And a drink is another charge too.
Price wise — Salata is just like Snappy Salads or other salad centric restaurants — the price will hit anywhere from $ 10 – 15 without a drink.
TIP: Check into the Dallas Parkway Location in Plano, Texas and you’ll get a FREE drink!
What I was incredibly impressed with is that Salata actually made the conscious effort to NOT serve soda. Most «healthy» places try to promote a good and clean balanced meal mantra but everyone knows that soda has TONS of sugar. I will admit that the Peach Lemonade was fantastic and SUPER sweet so… just be mindful of the calorie count on the beverages they serve. When in doubt go with water.
My salad was fantastic and if you’re at a loss as to what to select. Here’s my go-​to Salata salad.
SMALL SALAD, SPINACH
with Alfalfa sprouts, chopped egg, broccoli, mushrooms, corn, and avocado
with Bleu Cheese
with Chipotle Ranch dressing (go Light on the dressing) Also it’s got a nice kick
with Croutons
*It’s not a calorie conscious salad so but solely for flavor.
Random things to note:
1. they use plasticware that looks like Faux Silverware
2. You can order online — SUPER user friendly website
3. You can also have it delivered.
Enjoy!

First time at this location. There is another one in Shops of Legacy area. Nice to have your salad made quickly in front of you just with just what you want. See my photos. Lots to choose from. Very popular with the take-​out crowd.

Really nice and clean restaurant. I’ve been to a few other Salatas around DFW and this one definitely had the best customer service yet! Great place to stop for a quick, healthy meal! Would definitely recommend.

I was so excited this location opened, as it’s much closer than the Addison and Shops at Legacy locations.
Unfortunately, I won’t be back. I will take the extra time to travel to Addison where they have common sense and wonderful customer service.
The woman who helped me out, put the the wrong thing in twice. I damn near had to yell at her to get the correct things. This location is also very cheap with the amount of toppings they give you.
Then, the man at the register had no idea the prices of anything and got an attitude with me.
Overall, it was a horrible experience that I will not duplicate… since I’ll never be back. Visit other locations!

Upper class priced custom salad place in a clean modern environment. Great selection of light meats, vegetables, fruit, & dressings. Good alternative from greasy protein eatery, especially after a workout or detox.

Went yesterday with my boyfriend… The guy behind the counter was very friendly. He asked if it was our first time In. He explained and allowed us to try the dressings before putting it on our salads. I had crab meat and my boyfriend chose chicken. I’m glad we ordered a small salad… was more than enough… will invite his mom next time. Ingredients fresh… if you’re having a salad craving this is the place to go

We love salata. Love the many different options one can have with creating different salads.
This location just opened and it’s nice and clean. This particular location has so many different teas: Black tea, tropical green tea, mango tea, etc.
The manager was very nice here. We had waited almost 5 minutes to get someone to get our salads going. It was busy because there was just one person there. Then the manager just stepped in. I always like a manager that steps in and gets the job done.

Salata is a great addition to this side of Plano. The staff is much friendlier than other locations, and it has a nice sleek/​modern look to it.
I personally tend to go for the salad wrap which comes with pita chips, and is really filling for $ 7 including tax. However, the price does go up a bit if you get protein. The only downside I see, considering this is meant to be a healthier option, is that there aren’t many low calorie dressing options. But I am so glad a Salata opened up so close to me, I’ve already shamelessly recommended it to everyone I talk to!

Tried this spot for first time and have mixed feelings. Staff were friendly and place appeared clean. Cafeteria style serving line, and u put your own dishes up when finished and get your own drinks, etc. I don’t know why (well, I do know why but don’t agree with reasoning) there is a tip line on receipt when there is no table service at all and napkins, drinks and such are all self serve. They don’t even place salt and pepper at the table, you have to get up and get it yourself.
Don’t understand why you can get all the topping choices you want supposedly (in very tiny portions however), but when u ask for a little more dressing you get charged nearly a dollar extra. My salad with some chicken and a very small amt of extra dressing cost nearly $ 12.00 A bit pricey in my opinion. And I don’t like being nickel and dimed.
In addition, a choice of bread comes with your salad, but we were never offered the bread. So don’t forget, near the end when they mix the dressing in with your salad, to ask for the bread.
Salad looked pretty but wasn’t particularly flavorful if not for the dressing. I think I will choose toppings known to have more flavor.
The second visit was better. Large salad was too big for me. So I got a small salad, which along with all the toppings, single ladle of dressing, chipotle chicken and bread (which I had to ask for as wasn’t offered despite being right there in front of server), turned out to be plenty to fill me and cost $ 9. Better.

I like the new store layout! still the best healthy lunch out there and now its closer to us

The concept here is very similar to a few other restaurants in the area: Snappy Salads, Bread Zeppelin, etc.
The service here was amazing. The line during peak lunch hours was almost out the door, yet everyone was greeted warmly and not rushed while creating their salad.
A key difference here when compared to other similar restaurants is they allow you to choose unlimited toppings (vegetables, fruits, cheeses, nuts). Unfortunately, they don’t have any premade salad combinations for you to choose from. They have various lettuce options: romaine, spinach, kale, mixed greens. Their list of toppings is pretty extensive, more than the other restaurants have.
You do have to pay $ 2 – 4 extra for protein, if you choose to add it. The quality of their chicken is amazing. Fresh, tasty, and very lean. They have various chicken options as well: grilled, pesto, spicy chipotle, and Asian bbq. I can only vouch for the quality of the chicken, but the other meats looked fresh as well.
They have about 10 – 12 dressings for you to cjoose from, which makes it great to mix and match different meats/​toppings with. They don’t have traditional fountain drinks. Instead, have have a good variety of their signature teas.
Overall, I’d definitely choose this restaurant over other similar places nearby. The only downside is that a $ 10 – 14 salad (which is consistent among competitors) isn’t the most reasonable, but you definitely get what you pay for in terms of clean eating and quality ingredients.

Another Salata crossed off my check list! This time I made it to a soft opening after seeing a Facebook page announcing that they were giving free salads with a protein and a drink! A $ 5 donation to My Possibilities was suggested, and I gladly gave more. My salad and drink would have cost more than $ 5; its great that the free meals were converted into donations for a non-​profit organization in Plano.
I got a southwest wrap with smoked turkey. It was delish!
